" I must say that I had very high expectations for Dumpling Hour, and while I enjoyed many aspects, I was left a little underwhelmed. The dumplings were decent but not the extraordinary experience I hoped for. They could have used a bit more seasoning. The ambiance is nice, and the service staff were friendly, but it felt like the kitchen struggled to keep up with the crowd. I think I'll give it another shot in the future to see if things improve. " (*Curated Review*)

" A friend recommended Dumpling Hour, and after my first visit, I can see why! The dumplings were fresh and flavorful, especially the spicy beef buns. Each dish was authentically crafted, reminiscent of the Chinese meals I've enjoyed abroad. The service was generally good, but it took a little longer than expected for our food to arrive during peak hours. The atmosphere is lively, with a nice decor that adds to the dining experience. Overall, I left satisfied and will be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! Just wow! The flavors at Dumpling Hour left me speechless. Each dumpling was a piece of art! I particularly enjoyed the pork potstickers with their crispy edges and savory filling. About the service, it was attentive without being intrusive. We came here for a quick bite, and it turned into a delightful, relaxing meal. My family and I will definitely invite friends next time; it’s a great place to celebrate! " (*Curated Review*)

" Regrettably, my experience at Dumpling Hour did not live up to the hype. While the atmosphere is inviting, the dumplings I tried lacked the dynamism I was hoping for. The chicken potstickers were decent but didn't have a particularly memorable flavor. The service was relatively polite, yet I felt neglected as there were delays in getting our drinks. I may consider revisiting in the future, but I’m uncertain. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dumpling Hour has now become my go-to for all things dumpling-related! I brought my kids with me, and they couldn’t get enough of the chicken dumplings. There are so many options, and the dishes are beautifully presented. It felt like we were dining in an authentic Chinese restaurant, complete with aromas that transported me back to my travels. The only downside was that our waiter seemed a bit overworked, which slowed down our dessert order. Nonetheless, the food made up for it, and I can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard a lot about Dumpling Hour and finally decided to give it a try. The moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm atmosphere that felt inviting. We ordered a variety of dumplings, and each one was bursting with flavor! Especially loved the xiaolongbao — they were juicy and delightful! Our server was friendly and attentive, and we never felt rushed. Definitely a place I'll keep coming back to, and I can't wait to bring my family next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely experience! The dumplings were made beautifully, with each bite just bursting with authentic flavors. Special shoutout to the green onion pancakes, they were a highlight of the meal! The service team was attentive and seemed to genuinely care. The ambiance was warm and inviting or suitable both for family dinners and catch-ups with friends. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
