These new dumplings are a result of months of experimental work aiming at finding the perfect combination of filling and broth. The wrappers come in bright vivid colors, but purists don’t worry. Chef Li told us that everything at the restaurant remains 100% natural and they utilize natural coloring agents such as carrot, bok choy, and squid ink.

“Our dumpling makers and I have been experimenting for months, finally coming up with a perfect balance of a tender & tasty filling combined with a piping hot, clean, rich broth,” said Jimmy Li
