SONG DU HE YUAN

The soup dumplings are freshly made and steamed, so the waiting time is not very long. There are 10 dumplings in a basket, which is enough for two people. The skin is thin and the filling is large. There are shrimps in each one. Take a small bite, pour the juice in the spoon first, and drink it. It is really delicious.

There are all kinds of food, both lunch and dinner.

The dishes are freshly made, and the soup dumplings are always delicious and often ordered for takeout.
