“Northern Chinese style dumplings, made by ethnic Koreans born and raids in China's”
Roger noted these were Northern Chinese style dumplings made by ethnic Koreans born and raised in China, in a review cut off mid-sentence in Yelp's own draft preview. (From an unpublished Yelp draft review, never posted publicly.)
A Convoy District spot Roger rated among the better local options for xiao long bao and pan-fried sheng jian bao, with better-than-typical service to match.

A Kearny Mesa Vietnamese spot Roger praised for freshly made, generous portions — nothing mass-ordered frozen — plus made-to-order coffee and wings he ranks among the only two worth ordering at an Asian restaurant in town.
A low-key Convoy-area grocery Roger called a one-stop shop for a Chinese household: herbal remedies, dried seafood, nostalgic HK/China/Taiwan sodas and whole-leaf teas, tucked in a warehouse half a block west of Convoy.
