The coconut chicken soup is very special, even for foodies like us. The service is great, as the staff will teach you how to cook, eat, and in what order of sequence, to get the most variety of taste. The beef was, however, not really up to the wagyu level. But overall it is very decently priced, and a really fun and unique dining experience.

They seem to hire a new chef recently, there's new menu. Now it's making authentic Cantonese food. Coconut chicken hot pot and lamb stew are tasty.

So, the Xiao long bao were hot and very good. The tea was warm and not hot, hargao shrimp dumplings were heated up from frozen and were a little crunchy, and the siu mai were good but a little chewy. They did then give me hot tea and comped an additional hargao, thanks.

My new Favorite Chinese restaurant.
It’s Chinese New (year of the lunar Rat 🐀). Dressed up & trying to figure out where to go. Thinking that Asian restaurants are closed due to the holidays, but I found one open.
Red Circle Dumplings 🥟 has the best tasting food that I’ve tasted. I’m Asian and very picky when it comes to Chinese food.
My moto is that you got to try it to deny it. I’m not denying Red Circle 🔴, cuz the favor is bursting of yummy goodness in my mouth 👄.
This restaurant has made it in my top 10 pics. I place them at #3.

In search of Dumplings on a Friday night and I found 'Red Circle'. So glad I did too. Greeted by a friendly waitress that catered to our every need throughout dinner. Never had to ask for a refill of water or dipping sauces. She was always checking on us with a warm smile and humble professionalism.
The Braised Beef Noodle Soup was just right. Not too salty with an adequate amount of beef to noodle ratio.
The Shrimp Siomai were tasty and perfectly steamed. The Chicken and Bok Choy Dumplings were a perfect combination of flavors and texture as well as nicely presented. $25 out the door. Will definitely return.

We stayed in the hotel right across the street to wait for our flight so we came here. Fascinated by the menu and coconut chicken hot pot, we ordered that. I grew up with coconuts as a constant in food and have never had — or heard of — coconut hot pot.
The coconut hot pot was interesting. Broth was a little too sweet in the end but fascinating taste. We weren’t repulsed by it but didn’t come out yearning for more. Chicken was alright, the hainanese rice was a lil dry compared to what you’d get in a Singaporean chicken rice dish.
The server encouraged us to scrape the flesh of the coconut and cook it, which I did. Those pieces of coconut ended up texturally like fish in the hot pot — white and fleshy. What didn’t work for me was cooked coconut flesh is a little slimy, and if you’ve ever had bad, old fish that’s what it feels like texturally.. so the association wasn’t good.
Overall, I think if you’re curious about food and want to try something new this is worth a try. My only worry was another review I read that showed baby roaches in the food.. the restaurant seemed to be run in a relaxed way, so I believe it. Hope my wife never reads about the roaches as she’ll be mad I took her here..

A niche place for good dumplings. Have a nice variety of choices. Portions were generous. Tasty. Price was very reasonable.
