A couple weeks ago, we went to a meetup at the beach nearby in the morning that ended around noon, so like any good Yelper going to a new neighborhood around lunch time, I looked for someplace interesting for lunch. When I saw they had Singapore-style curry noodles as well as highly-rated dumplings, I was very much on board (I've been chasing Singapore-style noodles as good as the street food I had in Singapore in literally elementary school, it was that good.)
I will say, service was great. I was also surprised to discover the tea-drinks, including Thai tea, were not only quite reasonably priced, but free refills as well, and they kept filling my glass! Solid Thai tea, too. Food came out exactly as quickly as you'd expect (the dumplings took a little longer, as advertised - they're definitely made fresh - indeed, they arrived steaming hot.)
Anyway, as far as food, the Singapore noodles were great. Still wasn't as good as the first and best Singapore-style noodle dish I had when I was like 8 from a street vendor in Singapore, but it's also a lot closer than Singapore. (Though funny enough, I also I just learned today, despite the name, it's actually a dish from Hong Kong that isn't all that popular in Singapore, even if that was the first place I ate it.) Plenty of meat and shrimp and veggies, great noodles, great flavor. I think they only make this at lunch, so it's good that that's when we were there!
The dumplings they're so known for that they put it in the name of the restaurant, though... were just ok (the pork and Napa cabbage ones, stated to be their best seller). My wife said she'd give it 3 stars, but this isn't her review. The filling was great, and you could tell they make them fresh to order. I agreed with her, though, that they arrived just way too oily. (Then again, I also put hot sauce on everything, or in this case chili oil, on everything, while my wife isn't a fan of peppers.) Anyway, I'd say they were decent, but a bit doughy and more than a bit oily. Definitely not the best dumplings I've had, so while I could see coming back if I were in the area (the Singapore noodles were great, they do have a wide variety of other food, and free refills on Thai tea is a draw for sure), I probably wouldn't get dumplings here again.
