    Hole in the wall but an absolute gem when it comes to dumplings. Tasty and reasonably priced. Limited menu, nothing fancy. Just wholesome.

    I love this place. It's small and not super noticeable, but the food is so yummy and reminiscent of my childhood. They sell both frozen and ready to eat dumplings/buns, so I'll usually take some frozen dumplings home for a quick and easy meal. What I've tried so far: Frozen pork dumplings--20 for $10. Must have. Steamed taro buns--so soft and fluffy. Not too sweet. Steamed BBQ pork buns--a more subtle flavor than most dim sum places. I find it refreshing. Shrimp har gow--nothing special, but enjoy with black vinegar The owner is super friendly and is a one man job. He always makes sure you have sauces if you need them and offers directions on how to cook frozen items. Note that there are only a couple small tables inside. It's really more of a takeout place.

    Ordered from door dash during peak commute time. It seemed like the food was prepared fairly quickly, but the driver was stuck in traffic getting from Berkeley to Oakland, about 30 min. Even though I had to reheat the food, it was all really good. I'll definitely order again, but will drive over there instead. Both the sesame buns and dumplings were perfectly fried, not oily at all. I can never finish an entire steamed pork bun, they were the perfect size with the right pork to bun ratio.
