Best dumplings ever

I was hardcore missing Asian food while in Nicaragua and this place was my angel from heaven!! I got the asian style dumplings with all the toppings and wow, what a treat.

Pros: Quality food, Vegan option, Location

Cons: Not a lot of seating, Expensive

Very happy gal

To say I was a happy gal to find this place in SJDS is an understatement. I’ve been missing dumplings so much!! I tried both the “Asian” vege and tofu dumpling and the “European” potato pierogi dumpling. Both were out of this world! The size for one was amazing and the toppings and sauce options made the dumplings that extra bit special. I loved the dill, parsley, mayo and chilli oil combination on the pierogi 🤤 We went twice while in Nicaragua! Fully recommend if you are missing those Asian flavours while travelling.

Also they have takeaway options so we took it down to the beach and enjoyed a lovely dinner with our dumplings

Fantastic dumplings!

This is only a 4* because I'm not allowed to give it 5*! 2 non-vegan options, 2 vegan options (1 is veggie by default but sauce can be swapped to vegan). Clearly marked and vegan dumplings are cooked in a visibly separate pan. We tried both types of vegan and both were fantastic! Nice balance of flavours with all the toppings. Small place if you want to sit in - only 5 seats or so. We took away - extra c$10 for a box. You can also buy bags of frozen dumplings! Price is obviously on the higher end of nica but nice to have something a bit different! Lovely staff and quick service, would definitely recommend.

Edit: We came back and it was just as good! Bought our own takeaway containers and they were happy to fill them instead of takeaway boxes.

Absolutely fantastic

We stopped in for some delicious dumplings, met the owner who was a lovely host. The vegan dumplings were delicious, with excellent filling and sauces. Highly recommend! The lime soda was also fantastic.

Tasty dumplings - good vegan sauces

Very tasty! Tofu and veg and potato pierogi were the two vegan options when we went. Good sauces. Make sure you specify vegan so they put the right sauces on. They definitely know what vegan is and will hook you up.
