Got the barley pig stomach pepper soup with rice. $6.90 in total. The soup was super peppery, more than what I imagined initially but not necessarily in a bad way. Felt authentic but was unfortunately too peppery for me to drink it all up. …

Absolutely amazing dumplings... My wife is vegetarian and we went back to maxwell so she could have these. The woman at the counter was awesome and the dumplings were freshly made great dipping sauce and super flavourful filling... Highly recommend!
