"It is with a heavy heart that I write this review to make the loss of the best dumplings in Ithaca to mourning. Years ago, Beijing had perfect dumps- they were the standard against which I measured all the other dumplings, and few have come close. It must have been a relationship between Beijing and Hai Hong, because the dumplings that Hai Hong served until recently were quite similar to the perfect Beijing dumplings. But the dumplings in Hai Hong have changed, and while some people still find them appetizing, they are no longer themselves. They lost their sparks. They are just another derivative that offers in a sea of the glands Ithacan offers. The same boring emptying can now be from a dozen Asian restaurants in the area. And the world is more sad for it."
