This is a small spot focusing mainly on dumplings; stick to the specialties. I like their risk-taking, particularly in dumplings. I also like their hexagonal chopsticks.
The mapo tofu dumplings are decent, though I'd like a bit more sauce and a lot more Sichuan peppercorn than just hints. The tomato egg dumplings are intriguing -- there's cheese and pineapple, which helps fill out the dumpling, and the egg extends to the wrapper. The result is a sort of weird raviolo; I think more body would help.
The Chinese burrito, a sort of jianbing (the bing actually reminds me of dosas), is generous in portion, but is filled mostly with lettuce and falls apart pretty easily. This was much improved by chili oil.
The shrimp fried rice is mixed; the shrimps themselves are cooked nicely, with good bouncy texture, and are of good size. But there is zero wok hei.
I'd get the mini potstickers again. They are, to be clear, pan-fried xiaolongbao, not mini potstickers per se. The sesame/scallion-to-surface area ratio is appropriate. They are crisp. There's not much soup inside, but the meat has a good peppercorn-ish overtone. I want to say that it's Sichuan, as it's sort of floral, but there's no mala. This might be a white whale for me.
