BEST DUMPLINGS!!!!! Honestly I was TERRIFIED to go into this place. There was no one but the owner there. The chalkboard menu in cantonese.
But they had an English menu, and I had done some "inter gram research" prior. I showed the owner a few snaps of what I wanted. These were the most delish dumplings ever!!!! And $9 for 20? I took some home to Vancouver with me and I can't wait to get them! Honestly this place is a true gem in Saskatoon!
I'll be back! -

delicious!!!! authentic Chinese food - the dumplings are great and the veggie dishes (mushroom with egg!) are too. The cabbage, tofu and vermicelli soup is so comforting. And the stewed pork belly is savoury w fragrant star anise, fennel, liquorice!
the owners don't speak English but there's usually a customer there who can help you order or just point to the numbers on the menu :)

The walls are peeling, the chairs look like they are from the '80s, the owner speak little English, and the lack of a proper sign makes it difficult to notice if you aren't looking. But once you taste the food at this mom and pop hole in the wall, your life will be changed. There's no better real Chinese food in Saskatoon outside my mom's kitchen. This is real Chinese food and you will be coming back again and again to point at random dishes to try.

I have dined in many a hole in the wall. Experience has taught me that choosing to eat at places that look terrifying can go only one of two ways: horribly wrong or delightfully good. There is no middle ground to be found when the walls of a restaurant are unfinished and dirty, or if seating consists only of office chairs.
In the case of this place, all the attention lacking in decor has been made up by the care and flavour put into the food. I am pretty sure the person serving us spoke to me only in Chinese, but we got through placing an order and nothing was lost in our experience with good service. You'd be hard pressed to find more friendly service anywhere else.
We tried the plain pork as well as chive and pork dumplings. The serving was generous and tasty!
I'm giving this place 4/5 because after walking in, I was genuinely unsure of how things would go. I waited 24 hours to make sure I didn't get food poisoning from my meal before I could decide how many stars to give. Turns out that though the interior is truly lacking, it is inconsequential to the quality of food and service.
You'd think after dozens of experiences with things having gone very wrong, I would perhaps avoid places that don't look like they would pass an inspection for an occupancy permit. Alas, I'm a slow learner, but happy to say that this adventure turned out to be a delicious one. -

Ok not lying this is the best Chinese food I've ever had hands down. And I live in china town in Toronto. Everything is made from scratch. The flavors are really advanced high quality food. apparently Canada's top chef guy who's from saskatoon hypes this place all the time.
