Really interesting restaurant. A menu with a lot of variations of dumplings. We loved the Korean chicken, the pork and the duck ones, incredible. A part from the dumplings, there are also starters, noodles, soups... The Laksa soup is delicious. We also tried a rice with eggplant... Really good too. The staff is very friendly and fast. Cool cool place

Amazing dumplings and delicious appetizers. The vegan selection was impressive, and we can’t wait to return. Make sure you make a reservation so you can try their delicious food

Very yummy food, excellent but not quite innovative. A solid place for Asian food in Spain. The noodles are perfectly cooked, bouncy and absorb all the flavors! The decor is unique and cozy. Recommend the Dan Dan noodles and salad! Excellent service, the servers are very accommodating and friendly!

Great place to share a meal with friends! Dumplings come in sets of 5. Really appreciated that they allow you to add on extra dumplings for a certain amount per unit, instead of having to order an extra dish. The standout plate for us was the momos and the wantons were really good. There were 8 of us and we ate loads. Service was good and plates came out well-paced so we always had warm dumplings on the table, which I really appreciated. This is asian fusion - don’t expect that what you’re eating is authentic asian food (like what you might be used to in Asia) because it’s definitely Asian fusion with little twists but it’s tasty! With the right expectation you’ll enjoy this innovative, quaint place! Will be back.

The food is fantastic! The fried chicken is a standout, the aubergine adobo was amazing as well, and all the dumplings we tried were sooo good too. The service was exceptional. The place is casual with great atmosphere.

Worth a try. They have a variety of dumplings in different styles, and some great Asian starters as well. Cool place where you can look into the kitchen and watch the food getting prepared. They were already cooking for the next day! Definitely coming back to try some more.

A cozy spot serving impressively creative dumplings and flavorful dishes. The carefully curated menu makes it easy to pick their standout items, with every option thoughtfully recommended. Went twice already and loved both.
