I am sure I am not the first to discover this plain looking restaurant on a street full of look alikes, but I am so thankful I did. We tried this last Thanksgiving for an anti-holiday meal, and we have been going regularly, taking all visitors to the area with us. They have the best dumplings I have ever tasted--my husband prefers the fried pork (that perfect in between of crispy and chewy) and I always order the steamed vegetable (filled with the most intricate blend of greens). Both can be tricky to eat (impossible to eat neatly), but are worth every ruined shirt. In addition to that, this place specializes in the perfect scallion pancake. We haven't tried much in the way of entrees--the spicy peanut chicken is excellent--the dim sum alone will fill you. We also don't usually drink, because it is more fun that way when you get the bill and feel as if you have gotten away with something--two people can stuff themselves for a little over 10 bucks.
