Stopped in for lunch today & ordered the 'House Special' homemade dumpling soup.
There was no crowd but there was a ten minute wait while they prepared the meal.
The staff were pleasant enough.
I shared the meal with my wife &
within 1/2 an hour of consuming the meal we both suffered from facial numbness & tightness in the chest. I also had cold sweats, nausea probably due to the fact that I consumed the most.
A quick Google search confirmed the symptoms of a MSG reaction.
The meal must have been loaded with MSG as my wife only had a couple of spoonfuls of soup & one dumpling. We have been to other Chinese food outlets & never had a reaction like this.
The use of that quantity of MSG is unnecessary & is a potential health risk.
I won't be coming again anytime soon.
DO: Anything that tickles your fancy. All the items are listed on the board with a splattering of food items on display. My recommendation would be to order something that is made to order.
DON'T: Forget the dumplings. They're made that morning in the window next to the counter.
TIP: Get's pretty busy during lunch. Also make sure you purchase a bottle of water, there's a lot of MSG (I think).
