My thoughts:
I hate it when restaurants don't have a website! I mean, we are currently in the 21st century.
Anyway, despite the absence of a website (and originality in their choice of name apparently), it really makes up for it in their food. I mean, this is absolutely my favourite dumpling restaurant in Toronto (and being Chinese, I have been to many over the years).
We ordered a dozen pan-fried dumplings ($6.99) in 3 different flavours: mushroom and spinach, shrimp and vegetables, and pork and chives. For the filling, I didn't really care for the first one, but the other two were very good. What really sets these dumplings apart is an ultra thin layer of crunchy dough that connects all the dumplings. See the photo below, as it will probably do a better job of explaining what these dumplings are like.
The combination of the crunchy 'crust' and the juicy filling is unbelievably amazing. So amazing that you need to get your butt there stat to find out what I'm talking about. Trust me, you won't regret it.
