It was bland and salty. It definitely needed a sauce or some more seasoning (not dashi which just adds to the salt content). I had to content myself with adding Vietnamese Chili sauce for some flavoring. My sister thought it was chewy and greasy. A friend told me kindly that it tasted more like japanese shumai. This definitely serves more than four and it was simply too much food when it didn't really taste that good.
