" I visited Homemade Dumpling expecting the best, considering the many glowing reviews, and I have to say, it lived up to the hype! The pork and chive dumplings I got were simply the best — so fresh and flavorful. However, the space is cramped, and there’s no bathroom, so keep that in mind. It’s definitely more of a grab-and-go place rather than a sit-down restaurant. Prices are reasonable, and you definitely get a lot of food for what you pay for. I would recommend trying the sesame pancake too, it was delightful! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a gem! The dumplings tasted like they were handmade with fresh ingredients. The service is quick, though it can be crowded, especially during lunch hours. Just know you’ll need to pay cash, which is a hassle, but the taste makes it worth it. I absolutely loved the pork dumplings! I will definitely recommend this to my friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time visiting and really loved their shrimp dumplings! They were fresh and flavorful. The prices for dumplings are the best I’ve found in the city! Just like others said, though, it’s solely cash-only, which could be a hassle but manageable. There’s barely room to sit, so it's good for a fast takeout option. I’ll definitely be making this place a regular spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently discovered this dumpling joint, and wow! Talk about authentic! The dumplings were made right in front of me, and while they did hit the spot, I think the vibe could be improved to make it feel less like a fast-food place. Everything is cash-only, making it slightly inconvenient. I'd say the food is delicious enough to warrant the minor inconvenience, though. Still, the dumplings themselves were worth the trip! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been a loyal customer of Homemade Dumpling for years. The quality has always been consistent, but I feel like the portion sizes have slightly shrunk while prices have gone up. Still, the dumplings are delightful; I just wish they kept the old prices. It seems like they're trying to keep their loyal customers, but new diners might find it a bit pricey. Service also fluctuates; sometimes really friendly, other times not so much. If you want authentic flavors, though, this is your spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Homemade Dumpling wasn’t as great as I hoped. Yes, the dumplings were cheap, but I was disappointed that they seemed a bit soggy instead of fresh. I was expecting a crispy pan-fry but got a steamed bit instead. I did appreciate the quick service, though, making it an easy place for a lunch break. If you're not picky on how they are cooked, you may enjoy this place, but I prefer a better quality fry. " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot express how much I love the dumplings from this place! They're always hot, fresh, and made to perfection. The place itself is small and more of a takeout joint, but the food makes up for that. The prices are incredibly affordable. The only downside is that it’s sometimes too crowded, but I believe that speaks to the quality of their food. Can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)
