Dumpling House Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Came here at around 2 pm on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty busy - a good sign. The restaurant itself is narrow and pretty dark. Service was always polite and efficient and all of our requests were fulfilled in a prompt manner. Now on to the food itself. We ordered the beef pan fried dumplings and pork and shrimp pan fried dumplings - both were yummy with nice and crispy wrappers. I preferred the pork and shrimp though. We also ordered the beef fried noodles. This dish receives mixed reviews. On the one hand, the flavours and noodles itself were delicious. However, the beef was on the hard and chewy side. Not sure what happened here. This made the dish not so enjoyable.
Visited here based upon a recommendation by a local. Dumpling was in the name so you know they are something special and they didn't disappoint. Got my order to go and was able to watch my dumplings being made in the stores front window. Cash only business but they do have an ATM inside. Dumplings were great and service was fast
Cash only - very casual right spot on Spadina. Good food, fast service, and great for a little or a lot!
Greasy-spoon type of place which serves quick, affordable and delicious dumplings. We were walking in Dundas & Spadina area doing restaurant hopping for good dumplings. I have known this place for a long time - and recently I am kind of into the world of pan-fried dumplings, trying different well-reputed places for comparison and appreciation of each experience. We ordered pan fried dumplings #25 : 3 flavor choices $17.99. We chose: - Pork & Chive - Pork & Shrimp - Vegetable (spinach & mushroom) Food came in 10 mins. The dumplings were delicious. Crispy wings and thin wrapper with good texture and wheat-y flavor. My favorite was pork & chive. Super juicy, perfect seasoning. Juice splashes as you bite, be careful! Next time I want to try their steamed dumplings :)
Came here with a group of 4 for the first time on New Year's Day. They have an open kitchen at the front of the restaurant where the head chef of 10+ years is cooking. Before being seated, the staff remind you that it is cash only. We ordered a cold dish app of cucumbers which was mildly marinated, so we learned to let it sit for a few minutes before digging in. The dumplings were all delicious - the layer of crispy skin on the top of the pan fried dumplings is DELICIOUS. The boiled dumplings are chewy which I liked. Would come again with friends and family. Note: the bathroom is unwelcoming/not clean.
This place offers up a variety of dumplings. Unfortunately, you can't mix steamed & fried dumplings, but you can get a mixture within each category. Got fried dumplings with chicken, lamb, shrimp & pork. The dumplings were good, with a crispy skirt. The skin could be thinner though.
