" I had high hopes for Dumpling 85 after all the positive comments. I ordered the beef noodle soup, but I found it to be a bit underwhelming in flavor. The dumplings were decent, but everything else fell a bit short for me personally. Service was decent, though I felt a little neglected during a busy rush. I'll give it another chance in the future because I want to try their more popular dishes, but this visit just didn't quite hit the mark for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I had higher expectations after hearing all the buzz around this place. The dumplings were good but not anything that blew my mind. The service was friendly, but we did encounter some mix-ups with our order. The ambiance was fairly standard for a casual eatery, but it felt a bit cramped. I think if you keep your expectations realistic, you’ll have a pleasant visit. It’s definitely decent for quick dumplings, but I’d suggest trying other dishes too. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dumpling 85 is on my list for a reason! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly. I tried the spicy noodles and the beef roll, and they were outstanding! The atmosphere was relaxed, making it a great spot for gathering with friends. For the quality of food provided, the price felt fair, and the portions were satisfactory. I will definitely be coming back for more noodles and dumplings soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" The dumplings here are good but not the best I’ve had. I tried the steamed pork dumplings and they were decent but lacked a bit of seasoning. The ambiance was okay, nothing too fancy, and the prices are a bit higher than I expected for what I received. They could work on giving larger portions for the price point. Service was satisfactory, though not particularly memorable. I'd say it's worth a visit, but don’t expect anything extraordinary. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic dumpling joint! I visited on a busy evening, and even though the restaurant was packed, the service was prompt, and the staff was friendly. The Xiao Long Bao had a flavorful broth, and the pan-fried pork buns were crispy yet tender. Everything was well made, and I loved the online ordering system. Although the atmosphere felt a bit cramped, the food more than made up for it. If you’re in the mood for authentic Chinese dumplings, look no further! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally decided to try Dumpling 85 after hearing so much about it, and I was not disappointed. The decor is nothing fancy, which gives it a relaxed vibe. I ordered the beef brisket noodle soup and some pork dumplings. The dumplings were juicy with thin skins, and the soup was comforting and satisfying. However, I found the beef a bit on the tougher side. Service was decent but could be improved. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and would recommend giving this place a shot if you love dumplings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food in a cozy setting! I had the fried pork buns, which were crispy and flavorful. The service was efficient, and I appreciated that everyone was nice. What surprised me was the freshness of the ingredients and how hand-rolled the dumplings were. I can't rate the service perfect due to a slight delay, but the food made up for it. I'd recommend Dumpling 85 to anyone looking for good dumplings. " (*Curated Review*)
