Dumpling House

I ate here twice, once for dumplings, obviously, and the second visit was just to get regular dish (got vermicelli with green beans and beef).
Quite spacious, about 15 tables or so. Very casual atmosphere with a TV on the wall.
Dumplings were okay, nothing special nothing bad about them. I did enjoy the noodle I got during the second visit, though! A giant bowl of soup noodles with a generous amount of green beans. I never took leftover noodles home… but I barely finished the half of the bowl that I had to bring at least meat and green beans home haha
Overall, a casual Chinese restaurant with an extensive menu to choose from, not just dumplings. I would recommend this place to people in the East Side of Toronto if they want to grab a quick bite.

Was here last summer. Cramped seating, not many tables for big groups.
Food was good. Dumplings were good.
3 – 3.5stars for the food.
Service was good.

One day venturing for a late night snack, this place for the description of what I wanted to eat. I ordered a take out but the man on the phone only spoke in Mandarin. My girlfriend had to take the order for me since my mandarin is limited to, «xie xie.» (Thank you)
We ordered an abundance of food. The egg fried rice with shrimp was $ 7, the shrimp were very small and the egg was not as expected. It literally was an egg fried rice when we envisioned more of a creamy glaze with egg. Our second dish was the lamb dumplings $ 7 which looked very lumpy but they were delicious! I would order this dish again! Then we moved on to the beef scallion rolled up in a pratta like material. It was mediocre at best, I would have liked a bigger portion since it was $ 6 and it definitely needed more scallions. Our last dish was a red bean dessert that seemed like a good way to end the meal, $ 3 but it was very thin. In fact I could fit 3 in a toaster to heat it back up. I liked the thinness but it could have used more red bean paste in the middle.
Regardless, we ended up paying only $ 25 for the entire meal which was a steal! Next time I would order a meat dish to balance all the gluten! This place is very small but the prices are definitely reasonable!

Service was good, food not so much.
Shanghai dumplings — the skin/​wrap was too thick, the meat too dense
Pan fried lamb dumplings — lamb had ok flavour, but the dough was undercooked.
Steamed pork dumplings — meat too dense.
Beef onion pancake roll — was served cold, tasted too much like hoisin/​oyster sauce, not much beef filling.
Brocolli shrimp egg white — ingredients didn’t taste too fresh, a bit too salty.

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy!
Have been here 3 times and have to go back again.
Fresh & Tasty.

Food: Food was oily and luke warm. I went with a friend and we ordered dumplings, hot and sour soup, and their shanghai noodles. The dumplings were oily and found it rather pricey for 6 dumplings. The hot and sour soup tasted watered down and there was a really weird raw pork taste to it. I found their shanghai noodles lukewarm and like it was reheated it in the microwave.
Service: The server thought we didn’t want our chance back (aka left them a 30% tip) and we sat around waiting for our change back. I had to ask him for it back and he had to scramble to find the receipt and recalculate the change. Anyway, I think they need to do better with this. Make clear that you are expecting change!
Overall, food was subpar and service could be better. I’m not sure how this place got such a high review to be honest. Definitely will not be going back.

The dumplings were okay, but the green beans were the real winner!!!

Terrible meal, fried rice was soggy… tea had more grounds then even the crappiest steeper would produce… soup was flavorless and pork dumplings in it were bitter, ordered steamed chicken and after two bites I was very turned off. Waiter was pushy and on top of me way too often. First and last time here

Grabbed some takeout from here. The dumplings were great, price point is good. Hot and sour soup could have used a bit more flavour. Would come back.

I really enjoyed the dumplings whether it be take out or dine in.
The place is clean and the atmosphere is like any other regular dumpling place … But the true highlight is the dumplings all are good but the fried being my favs then the steamed

Not bad for a DT location since most great dumpling places are uptown now.
Looks like it was recently renovated and service was decent.
I still prefer Dumpling King uptown.

This place won’t blow your mind with new age technology or crazy ingredients. It’s quality basics, at an affordable price. So if you are in the area and in the mood for some dumplings, this place is perfect. They probably have the most extensive menu of dumplings I have seen at any chinese restaurant. It’s also a great way to introduce yourself to the famous soup dumplings which are usually more expensive (asian legend) or far away (scarborough).
The menu is quite big, and the overall experience is pleasant. If I am in the area I’d definitely come back.
PRO TIP: when eating a soup dumpling, bite a tiny piece of the top knot bit of the dumpling off. This will allow it to cool faster, and you can then suck the juice from this hole. So you don’t spill it everywhere.

The last time before last week was about two years ago when i came in to order take out.
So we had lunch here, and I found the server really nice. So that’s a +
We got steamed dumplings which i hardly ate but found was alright.
We also got pan fried pork dumplings & soup dumplings.
If im not wrong i burnt myself about 3 – 4 times while trying to eat the pan fried and soup dumplings.
Especially the pan fried ones… There was some liquid that wouldn’t always pop and splash down my chopsticks. And literally going everywhere. (Weird cause pan fried isn’t suppose to have liquid) it was probably a load of oil…
The dumplings weren’t bad at all. Actually good. But the soup dumplings hardly had soup. If you’re ever debating if you want to try this place or not — I would say give it a try! Can’t say no to dumplings.

Ohmygod, this restaurant. I go here once a week or something and the food is awesome, I’m a huge fan. Personal favorites — sweet and sour fish (it’s really well-​cooked) and pork&shrimp dumplings. The service isn’t perfect — only few people actually know English, but seriously, the food is too good to subtract a star for that. Recommend to everybody.

Alrighty, the restaurant is small and cramped and makes you feel like being in a crowded railway dining car. The dim sum menu skews towards dumplings. And the lingua franca skews heavily towards Mandarin.
But you know what? This is your best bet for a quality Chinese sit-​down meal in little East Chinatown, since practically every other Chinese restaurant options in the area are shit. The menu is extensive, but the noodles are hot and delicious, the xiao long bao and other dumplings big and juicy. It’s clean, it’s no-​nonsense, and it’s the real deal. Dumplings House delivers a simple and satisfying experience that doesn’t fail to shine a glimmer of hope in East Chinatown’s declining dining scene.

I came here on a Saturday evening and was seated immediately. Service is quick, tea is complimentary, and the dumplings are alright. Not to die for, but good enough. Will return to try out their other offerings soon.

Second time here.
Friendly staff. Good place to go if I miss Chinese food.
Ordered dumpling and rice cake?
The dumpling is 3stars. It is had a taste I don’t really enjoy.
The rice cake is really nice.

Another great Asian restaurant in the east end. Cheap prices, fast service, tasty food, extensive menu! Decent ambiance and decoration — clean and modern.
Not just for dim sum — all sorts of Chinese dishes are available.

I’ve frequented this place a number of times in the past few months. I really like it. My have items are the pan fried dumplings, I prefer the beef over the chicken. I tried the other kinds but in general i like the pan fried ones best (I like the crunchiness it adds to the dumplings). The crispy sweet and sour pork is also good. We like the onion and beef roll appetizer (truth be told the ones at asian legend are better). This is still quite good and walking distance to our place. It’s also nice to support little mom and pop shops.

Delicious! A little pricey. We had the beef brocolli, cabbage pork dumplings, stir fry broccoli and egg & shrimp fried rice take out. Total was @$ 30. Paid w debit to avoid $ 0.50 credit card fee.
I’d go again. This can now be our neighbourhood Chinese food resto.
Was pleasantly full for a Saturday evening.
