â–² Testimonial (Shikigin Choi Hae-ji ): I can't believe you can eat these dumplings so deliciously…! Gubok dumplings, meat dumplings, shrimp dumplings, and even Xiaolongbao were really juicy and delicious. It is worthy of appearing in Michelin Bib Grumman. They were so kind and said that even if they sold one, they would definitely sell it deliciously, so Xiaolongbao said that if the gravy was dried, it wouldn't taste good, and the rest could be packaged. Every type of dumpling was delicious. I liked that the meat dumplings were juicy and tasty. I packed the prawn dumplings at home and grilled them slightly in a frying pan, but they were really delicious.
