I've lost count of how many times we've been here and have been meaning to post a review on Yelp for a long time... And here I am finally! I'll get to it- Try the pan fried vegetarian dumplings, Thai fried rice, and the Chinese broccoli in garlic sauce- all incredible (like the rest of the menu, I'm sure). The owners are lovely people and are always happy to accommodate our vegetarian diet. They have made vegetarian Ma-po tofu for us before- also super delish. They make their dumplings daily and you can see them being made when you walk past on Victoria Street. I've posted photos of the take-out menu I have at home but I'll post photos of the food next time I'm there... Which will be soon I hope!!

A hankering for dumplings usually means a tram ride city to go to Chinatown or drive to Richmond. I…read morewas excited by the prospect of getting dumplings a little closer to home now that the cold winter nights have set in. So Ms. Four and I headed off down Smith Street to check out Bowl Bowl and (in her words) "smash some dumpling Dad!" It didn't disappoint. Service was great - our waiter helped us settle the pan fried vs steamed argument by choosing the combinations for us. The food and drinks were prompt - the service was attentive. The 'Water bomb" dumplings (Xiao Long Bao) were the highlight - perfectly sized to comfortably eat in one go and the broth was delicious. We also really enjoyed the Salt & Pepper chicken on rice - crispy and not oily what-so-ever. The waitstaff took care to put the spicy seasoning in a side dish so that Ms. Four could eat it. The restaurant itself was comfortable, simple and clean - the kitchen looked clean and organised. Given it's in the neighbourhood and the service was good I'd happily go for mid-week dumplings there again.

We decided on this one because the prices were good and it looked like a small Mom and Pop restaurant. I was very pleasantly surprised with the large menu selection. I chose the Singapore noodles with chicken instead of pork. Just the right amount of spice and abundant taste. If you're looking to go easy on the wallet and heavy on the taste buds try this place.

Spicy Cumin Pork Ribs…read more Spicy Cumin Pork Ribs Spicy Cumin Pork Ribs The secret is out and they *will* make more. These atomic bombs of flavor and heat are my favorite dish on the planet. After the privilege of trying them once, we came home and began a long saga of attempts to duplicate the dish. After all, they don't deliver to the other side of the world... Well, after numerous unsuccessful attempts, we gave up in frustration. But then, years later, we had the opportunity to return and order the same dish. It was incredible and just as we remembered. Spicy, crunchy, tender morsels of atomic goodness. It cannot be duplicated. Just head down the dark alley and up the few steps in to this mecca of Sichuan taste sensation. You won't regret it. Or, better yet, order some "to go" and SHIP THEM TO US NOW.

In fact this is certainly one of those rather no-frills restaurants that I absolutely adore.
