Tucked inside Grainger Market, this is a tiny dumpling counter where the folding and steaming happens right in front of you — which, handily, keeps a restless four-year-old occupied while you wait. Food comes out fast, hot and cheap: around £5.50 gets you four dumplings and a bun, and you can mix fillings in one portion, so the chilli beef ones go to you and the pork and cabbage to them. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, though the market setting means seating is close together and it gets busy at peak times. The spicy beef noodle soup and char siu bao are worth ordering. The team behind the counter are quick and genuinely warm with families — one parent has been coming with their daughters for years.
