Chinese Dumpling House - Toronto, Ontario

Absolutely amazing food here. Ordered several different types of boiled and fried dumplings and each plate tasted great. The best part of dinner was actually a “shredded pork with green chili” dish. I’ve had this dish at other restaurants across several different countries, and the dish here was the absolute ... best and most authentic I’ve ever tasted. 1000% recommend this place. It is a bit on the smaller side but trust me the food is well worth it!! Read more

We ordered “fried mixed vegetable dumplings”. It was tasty but too much oily. It was tasty though but I would recommend steamed ones only to others. The service is good. They make dumplings in front of you. I really liked this concept. But they accept only cash. No cards.

Shopping along Kensington must come with a visit to this joint. The food and service were really lovely, but the only thing was that it only accepted cash, so make sure you have some on you. Like all eateries in Canada, the food is best that you consume with a friend. ( ... ie. you can share, or else you will end up putting on weight), because the helping is HUGE, by Asian standard. The mushroom fried noodle was really good with their special sauce, and in the cold weather, the hot and sour soup really worked wonders. Finally, we chose the pan-fried dumplings since they came in servings of 12 pieces instead of the steamed ones, which came in helpings of 15 pieces. Read more

Wow been a while I have been here . Prices have gone from 9.99 to 15.99 cash payment goes to 18. I always thought cash was tax free.. But any how it's not as busy as it used to be . Food is ok still consistent. But across the street it's ... cheaper and much juicer . For this price they are lot of other options out there . Read more

The last time I visited this place was about five years ago. It was good, not excellent, but still a reliable option for dumplings. I know this place is an institution in Chinatown. During my childhood, there were limited options for good and authentic Chinese food. However, my recent experience ... was extremely disappointing. The Shanghai fried noodles were oddly too sweet, and the fried dumplings were soggy rather than crispy. The boiled dumplings were the worst; the wrapper tasted old and frozen, and the filling tasted strange and bland. I feel like the food is catered to non-Asians. The service was pretty terrible. The younger man was a bit rude, but the older gentleman (maybe the owner) was much more pleasant. The restaurant also had a peculiar wet basement smell, which I could have ignored if the food was worth it. I'm not sure if my taste buds have changed with all the better Chinese food options now available, especially in the Markham/Scarborough region, or if Dumpling House has truly gone downhill. If you're looking for nostalgia, you might visit, but you'll probably leave disappointed with the food. Read more
