“ Fresh and authentic !!! Coming from Cupertino where we have had some amazing Chinese food- this was a delight to find. When I went my buddy from Shanghai took me and I was glad to see black bean noodles and I. House dumpling vinegar. They had only been open an hour and 24 minutes before they sold out of their steamed and fried dumplings. We ended up getting the pork boiled dumplings, which were still good, but if dumplings is what you want get there when they open! They definitely could use a little bit of outdoor seating since they fill up fast. ”
“ The steamed and the pan fried Pork dumplings were delicious. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. Went there for lunch with a colleague. The place got very busy by 12:15pm. So go early ”
“ This is the new, casual spot that no one is talking about. Because the influencers haven't found it yet. The family is pf Taiwanese decent, that lived in Korea for a few generations now. So they serve Korean food with a much welcomed Taiwanese twist. Their specialty is their boiled fish dumplings. Tell them YummyCoty sent you. ”
“ We ordered Togo and ordered online through their website. Even though we went to pickup, the service was awesome . It felt very personable when the owner called me by my name to ask me a question about how the ordering process looked like from my end( the customer) idk I really liked that. The owners were super sweet too. Anyways! So We ordered tangsooyook, jjajangmyun, and the seafood jjambbong. I wish we took pics of everything but we were so hungry. The tangsooyook was really good. The sauce had a smoky taste which we liked. There were mandarin oranges in the sauce too which was delish and I've never seen any TSY sauces w oranges in it. The Seafood jjambbong yall! They were very generous with the seafood that they added. The broth was smooth and very flavorful. The spice level was perfect for me. So good. The JJM- again flavorful, the sauce was very dark and rich and bursted w flavor. Very good. Also! We enjoyed the noodles that they used for Jjambbong and JJM. Husband compared the flavors of this place w/ a place he had when he lived in LA. He really enjoyed all the dishes we ordered from here and told me he'd definitely order from here again. Thank youuuu! ”
“ The flavors from their H-Mart Johns Creek days came back with a fortified revenge; still pretty good and def will be a regular stop-bys. Papa chased that crave for a legit chomamien (aka jjampong) away with a hearty spices and portion to fill up. One thing to mention: please use fresher clams; some of them were quite rancid and had to fish them all out to enjoy my soup. Seafood jjajangmien was thick and flavorful with various seafood aroma. Wifey mentioned it tasted less of a regular jjajangmien; I think they probably use a lesser known black bean sauce but I ain't complaining, and hey, this one cost almost double with a buncha sea critters to enjoy, so maybe there is that delta? Dry braised chicken was alright, pretty standard taste with heavy cornstarch I do not particularly condone, but hey, this ain't the Bay or Asia, so you gotta lower that grading a few notch down and accept as it is. Probably will skip the next time and try their fabled dumplings fo sho. Good job, Papa! ”
“ Decided to stop by for dinner one Sunday evening in July 2024 and was surprised to see a full house. The person at the counter spoke Korean and Chinese. He was overwhelmed but still polite. We ordered mapo tofu, chili dumpling, wonton noodle soup & jjajang myun. Our order came slowly one after another, which is understandable due to the business at the time. Taste wise, we like everything we tasted. The chili dumpling sauce is so unique due to the additional sesame paste. Mapo tofu is fragrant due to addition of shiitake mushroom. Will definitely come back. Hopefully this place will stay open for long. ”
“ I saw this place while visiting Johnny's pizza next door and knew I had to come check it out. It was easy for me to call ahead and place an order. There were plenty of parking in the shopping center and it was easy to locate. It's bright inside and some seating available. The menu is displayed above the counter and plenty of options to choose from. I was greeted right away and my order was packed and ready to go. The boiled fish dumplings were so fresh. You can tell the skin is home made and cooked perfectly to encircle the dish filling. They even poked holes in the container so it wasn't soggy when we ate it. The Jaengban Jajang was delicious as well. It had squid, shrimp and packed with vegetables. The flavor was good and large portion. I will come back and try their other items. It was convenient and perfect for a quick carry out for lunch. ”
“ So good!! After having recently moved to Suwanee, I am so relieved to find this place only 10 min from home. It will be our go-to place from now on when we're craving Taiwanese food. Loved everything we ordered today and can't wait to try rest of menu. Speaking of the menu, I really liked that the menu is on the smaller side in terms of selection. Plenty of bangers in there, but not too overwhelming to choose from. Also.... If they do start selling frozen dumplings like another reviewer mentioned, I will absolutely be buying some regularly to stock our freezer. The spicy wontons were delicious, loved the touch of sesame paste. Mapo tofu really hit the spot--perfectly mild/medium spicy and without too much mala. Lu rou fan was lovely and I enjoyed the sauteed cabbage that came with it. Pan fried pork dumplings were perfect texture and so juicy. Next time, we will be getting both the beef noodle soup and seafood noodle soup. We already know we'll love those though based on what we've had at Mama's Kitchen. Finally, just want to say the guy running the counter tonight was awesome. Great service despite how busy they were serving both dine in and lots of takeout orders. ”
“ Amazing dumpling place, I've eaten so many dumplings my whole life homemade and in restaurants and I love that you can tell the wrappers are made in house with my favorite being the fish dumplings because of the tenderness of the fish inside and the uniqueness of having them available. Garlic house dipping sauce also available. The pork and pot stickers are good as well. The jajangmyeon can come in different options depending on if you like it korean style with more onions, or Chinese style with less onions and more pork, or without cornstarch. Noodles are wonderful qq texture all around, and the beef noodle soup has great tendony pieces and super flavorful broth which is my preference. Other notable dishes include ganpong sweet chicken and mapo tofu. Utensils are available on the side with it being a smaller location with mostly booth seating available. Food comes out as it's hot with a beeper and very quick service. Water is fill up yourself and put away trays yourself. Overall I WILL be back for dumpling goodness!! ”
