They have the chewy thick wrapper and the insides that are not just largely cabbage and weak chicken etc.

It's definitely expensive but I don't have to go to Costco or keep a membership. It's like the same reason you do door dash etc.

It was amazing when I found out on Reddit how to make them in the air fryer. Like whoa

I've also tried Mila's lo mein offerings but they come in small amounts and you have to kind of cook in ways that I like to avoid by ordering online ... so I didn't keep ordering that option

I wish true Dim Sum were a thing for delivery

game changer

We just had them last night and my kids (who lived in Asia for a while) thought they were surprisingly good for something that came out of the microwave in 2 minutes. I did too.


You can get really good frozen ones at H Mart and other Asian grocery stores. Much better than TJs.


As an actual asian. This is fact. The TJs ones are garbage.
