The food was excellent and very cheap. I had the dumplings as pictured, and they were delicious and well prepared.
The food is served on paper plates, and the dining area can best be described as practical and barebones, so it's not a place you go to for the ambiance.
The service was fast despite how busy it was when I was there.
The restaurant also has a large frozen section where you can buy dumplings and buns at very good prices to take home.
Would recommend for the food.

This Auckland spot has some amazing Chinese food! The rice noodle rolls are so chewy and the sauce is delicious. I'll definitely be coming back to try the other flavors. And let me tell you, the polo bun and egg tarts were a hit - they disappeared in no time! I also grabbed some frozen BBQ pork buns to take home - there are so many savory and sweet flavors to choose from. Plus, the restaurant has plenty of parking, it's clean and the staff are super friendly.

I bought the frozen mini pao. It tastes soo good. Love their cheongfun / rice roll and mini bao. The price was reasonable❤️. Will come back again.

This place is unsuspecting. And it seems to have a loyal following. The place is set up for yum cha, and all tables are usually taken when I visit. They do take away as well, so an option for you if there are no seats. The menu definitely fits within the cheap eats definition, which is probably why it's so popular. Saying that, you get what you pay for. It's still yummy food though! Heaps of frozen buns available from their freezers. Haven't tried it myself, but heard they are tasty. You can see how many people buy them as you wait for your food!

Tucked away behind a carpark in front of a few spice stores, the store is a little hard to find.
Large portions of rice rolls with good variety of fillings and you can add ingredients for extra cost. Adding an egg to the beef roll is a must try!
We also got two different won ton soups ans noodles. Taste was average, the soup tasted like the water they used to boil the wontons and the pork filling inside the wonton still has the pork smell in it. Both soups were quite bland sadly.
The menu has other rice and noodle options and some fried foods and tarts in the cabient similar to what you see in yim cha such as sesame balls and portugese tarts.
They also have fridges with frozen packets of dumplings and steams buns to purchase to take home.
Overall environment is pretty average as it looks like they've just put in some tables and chairs for a dine in option but tables are clean and cuterly are all dispoable and recyclable.
