Honest verdict on Dumplings — good but not exceptional

Dumplings here was solidly made — aromatic and complex without anything to complain about. Sichuan peppercorn was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

Chinese cuisine encompasses eight major regional schools with distinct ingredients and techniques. The a bustling dim sum hall atmosphere was pleasant enough. chrysanthemum tea was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Dumplings this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
