$35 for 50 frozen dumplings now, no variety packs - single flavor only. Perfectly fine and really what I had expected.

Thanks, I picked up a couple of bags for myself. If you can speak Chinese, the owner is quite an interesting conversationalist.
It's too bad the restaurant isn't closer to Porter or Harvard Square, I'm sure it would do quite a lot more business.

Yeah, I've done that with friends before, decades ago, but no time for that now. These are actually for my friend's son so he can have them as supplies.
Tip: when buying the wrappers, pay attention to how soft they are. Sometimes there's clearly older ones mixed in with the newer ones on the store shelf, and you want the fresher, softer ones. Older ones are already hardening on the edges.

Wow, I called them and they said it might be a month before they sell them again. Maybe they sold them like crazy for Chinese New Year, need to build up their stock again, within their scheme of priorities.

Oh, yeah, those are pretty good from my recollection. I'll mention them. I doubt they have tried them, since they're only visiting.

Pre-packaged from a factory? Or handmade by them?

Thanks, my visiting friend didn't want the prepackaged ones.

Their iced black coffee is the strongest I've encountered.
