One
of
the
most
delightful
eating
experiences
I've
had
in
Olympia.
I
have
been
several
times,
but
on
my
most
recent
visit
(which
inspired
my
review)
I
got
the
chicken
dumplings
and
a
bowl
of
borscht,
as
well
as
some
frozen
dumplings
to
go.
Olympia
averages
around
a
15-45
minute
wait
for
food.
Rush-in
in
my
experience
tends
to
the
shorter
side,
around
20
minutes.
This
is
very
dependent
on
the
amount
of
customers
as
most
of
the
prep
seems
to
be
the
often
single
employee
rushing
around
the
kitchen
to
dish
everything
up.
What
I
find
outstanding
about
this
wait,
however,
is
that
food
arrives
at
your
table
at
the
perfect
temperature
to
begin
eating.
As
someone
who
loves
a
big
first
bite
of
their
meal,
this
is
a
huge
plus
for
my
experience
and
makes
any
wait
quickly
forgotten.
The
choice
of
background
music
is
also
great.
Onto
the
food:
This
was
my
first
time
eating
Borscht
and
I
fell
absolutely
in
love
with
it.
It
was
so
much
creamier
and
filling
than
I
had
expected,
and
they
gave
me
a
nice
big
bowl
of
it.
The
beef
was
so
soft
I
almost
believed
it
was
a
vegetable
(though
the
rich
flavor
could
only
be
beef).
As
for
my
dumplings,
I
adore
their
meat
dumplings.
The
sour
cream
and
caramelized
onions
combine
to
create
a
perfect
bite
each
time,
and
the
onions
in
particular
taste
so
good
that
I'd
often
eat
a
spoonful
of
them
alone.
The
reason
I
was
inspired
to
write
this
review,
however,
is
that
I
did
something
on
this
visit
that
I've
never
done
at
a
restaurant
before:
I
bought
a
frozen
take
home
item.
Their
$12
pound
of
frozen
dumplings,
particularly
the
chicken
ones,
have
been
on
my
radar
ever
since
my
first
visit,
but
I
was
nervous
that
I
would
be
unable
to
recreate
the
flavor
without
caramelizing
my
own
onions
and
buying
sour
cream.
All
these
fears
have
been
proven
unfounded
in
a
spectacular
way.
I
love
making
ramen,
especially
when
I
can
boil
dumplings
in
the
broth
along
with
the
noodles.
When
the
dumplings
I
bought
for
this
week's
bowls
proven
incompatible
with
my
broth,
I
risked
a
quarter
of
my
Rush-in
dumplings
in
the
next
bowl.
What
I
have
created
is
now
my
#1
recipe
for
a
bowl
of
ramen.
The
Rush-in
dumplings
hold
up
perfectly
in
a
bowl
of
soup
and
provide
a
perfect
burst
of
flavor
that
complements
my
chicken/Chinese
five
spice
broth
perfectly.
This
has
been
a
wonderful
first
experience
with
buying
a
premade
item
from
a
restaurant
and
I
highly
recommend
everyone
try
this.
