" I had dinner there on a busy Saturday evening. The food was enjoyable, especially the spicy wontons and the crispy scallion pancakes. However, I found my main dish of sesame chicken to be so-so. The dining area is nice, simply decorated, but it got quite noisy when fully packed. Overall, I would return to try more of their dumplings, which clearly are their strength. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I come here, I'm blown away by the consistency and quality of the food. Just last visit, I had their crispy pig intestines and they were unlike anything I've had elsewhere. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside—definitely not for the faint of heart! Also, the fried rice is exceptional. It feels like home cooking but elevated. Worth every penny, and the service is usually quick and friendly. This is my favorite Chinese restaurant hands down! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Dumpling House last week and was thoroughly impressed! The service was friendly from the moment we walked in. We ordered a variety of items, including the spicy wontons and pork scallion pancakes. Everything was fresh and flavorful! I particularly enjoyed the wontons in chili sauce; they were spicy but not overwhelming. The ambiance is casual and laid-back, which is perfect for a quick bite or a long meal with good company. I will definitely be returning soon. Highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'll just say this: if you love dumplings, you must visit Dumpling House! They're packed with flavor, and the variety they offer is fantastic. I can't get enough of the garlic broccoli as a side—it’s so good! The staff make sure you're well taken care of, even when they're busy. A great place for a fun and tasty dinner! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dumpling House never disappoints! Their pork soup dumplings are a must-try; the broth is so rich and flavorful. I also loved their cucumber salad, which had a refreshing garlic kick. The atmosphere is simple yet welcoming, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with friends. Definitely my go-to Chinese restaurant in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Although I had a good meal, I felt the dishes were somewhat bland compared to what others had described. The dumplings were okay, but too doughy for my taste. The service was good, but I wish the wait staff had more knowledge about the menu. Despite this, the restaurant has a charming vibe and certainly a friendly atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try Dumpling House, but it fell short of my expectations. While the dumplings were okay, they didn't have the wow factor I was hoping for. The service was very friendly, but the wait time for food was longer than I’d like. I might try again during a less busy time to give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)
