You can get really cheap and super good Chinese dumplings here, the ones in fancy restaurants are good, but these are more real! Plus you get to watch them make them super fast, it's crazy! More

The pan-friend buns are delicious. Very good value at 6 RMB for 4 buns. Make sure you let the buns rest for sufficient time before taking a bite! More

Some of the best dumplings I have ever eaten! I'd say, it is best to take away, as the place is too busy all the time, also, if you do not know the basics in Mandarin......well, bit of tough luck. Very reasonably priced. More

Very authentic, juicy inside and crunchy on the skin. Value for money, go to the shop in the city, the best one. Expected to line up for a while and bring bring your wet towels, no service and need to fight for seats. More

Branches everywhere and best eaten when it's hot. But becareful the juices inside will burst out and burn your lips! So bite a small hole first and cool the soup inside a little before sipping. Enjoy after that. More
