possibly the best chinese dumplings ive ever had! The food came fast and hot, and it was a really cosy atmosphere, even for a sooo traveller. One of the best places I ate in Xi'an! The cabbage with sesame is really refreshing n it’s so nice. We ordered vegetarian dumplings with egg n chives is really nice too. Very delicious dumplings served in a homey atmosphere by a wonderful staff which speaks more English than the average shop owner here.

Menu has relatively accurate English translation. Great dumplings with good dipping sauce and extra hot sauce on the side. Also, as others mentioned, good vegetarian options. My girlfriend loved the spicy eggplant and firm spicy tofu. Will be back tomorrow.
