" I can't rave enough about the spicy wontons and chili oil—absolutely delicious! The dumplings had an incredible filling which made me wish I could have more. Service was slightly slow since it was busy, but the flavors made up for the wait. Takeaway is also a good option due to their quick service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited this place after hearing great things from friends! The wontons were hearty, and the spicy dipping sauce gave them an extra kick. The atmosphere is low-key but charming, reflecting the authentic Chinese vibe. The only downside was having cash-only transactions, as it got me to go to the ATM. Still, I can't wait to return for more dumplings soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited during lunch hours and the wait was longer than expected which put a damper on my experience. While the dumplings themselves were tasty, the staff seemed overwhelmed and absent at times. I would come back, but maybe during a less busy time to fully appreciate it. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience! I stumbled upon Vanessa's Dumpling House while exploring Chinatown, and it didn't disappoint. The spicy vegan beef dumplings were a highlight - I couldn't believe they weren't made from actual beef! The ambiance was casual but welcoming, with a mix of locals and tourists. Throughout my visit, the staff were friendly, making recommendations that enhanced my meal. It's a cash-only place, but it's worth every penny for the quality and taste of the food. I can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" What can I say? If you're craving dumplings, this is the spot. Authentic flavors that transport you to China with each bite! The seating is shared and can be a mixed bag depending on who you sit with, but that just adds to its charm. Do bring cash as they don't accept cards. I gave it five stars because of the food quality! " (*Curated Review*)

" While this isn't your upscale dining experience, it’s definitely a hidden gem for dumpling lovers! The food quality keeps me returning. Just remember to check your order carefully. I had a miscommunication last time but the food was too delicious to be mad! Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a less-than-stellar visit last week. The dumplings I tried were overcooked and lacked the freshness I was hoping for. The service was slow, and the cashier seemed overwhelmed by the volume of customers. While I appreciated the authenticity of the cuisine, the environment was a bit off-putting with some cleanliness issues that shouldn't be neglected. I probably won't return anytime soon.
