Fresh dumplings made on the spot! It's a very casual restaurant, and they've been there for many years, so don't expect anything fancy! Their dishes consistently taste good every time we visit, service is quick & prices are very fair. We also love their veggie dishes too! Highly recommend if you're looking for some fresh authentic dumplings!
Food is excellent. You can see the ladies folding Dumplings Pork & Leek and are made fresh to order (15) for10.99. Dumplings are very juicy. Be careful when you first start biting into them ... they are very hot and soupy. The Pancakes filled with leek, egg and glass noodles are my fave 3 for $7.99 Pan fried pork dumplings are 6 for $7.99. Nicely crisped on the bottom. Place was very packed on the weekend. On Week nights are plenty of tables tho. Place is low key but not much service here. They brought us the food and never bothered to come back to check on us. The food came very fast tho. I would come back for the cheap and cheerful food!!
Whether for a meal or a snack, I come here to fill my cravings. Despite the prices of so many places going up, this place remains to be affordable, and yet still amazing. I strictly go solely for the pan fried dumplings. From the flavours, to the dumpling lace, nothing can top this place for me. The service is always quick and the inside is always spotless. I highly recommend to give it a try, and! They are right in the middle of bubble tea central!!
In search of a late-night dinner in Commerce Gate, we decided on the Chinese Dumpling House. Ordering is done by the customer with an order sheet as the menu. Our dishes came out in a fairly quick succession, except for the veggies. They seem to have forgotten to check the back of our order sheet for any dishes that were checked off and we had to follow up. The steamed dumplings came out piping hot in a large steamer basket. The dumpling wrapper was a bit thick for me, but that's just my personal preference for thinner wrappers. The pan-fried green onion cake is different from what I'm used to. I usually see it in a pancake form instead of a spiral like this. The steamed dumplings were good, but the pan-fried dumplings were even better. They were just slightly crispy from being pan fried and still nice and juicy on the inside. The plate of A Choy that we got was much smaller than I was expecting but tasted fantastic. It comes with a generous amount of garlic. The braised beef noodle soup was a decent size in a large bowl and came with a lot of beef. This was a terrific meal for $15 with tax and tip included.
It used to be our go-to place northern Chinese style dumplings and beef noodles. Visited this place again after 18 months, good is the service is friendly and prompt. The food is hit and miss. Some like the beef noodles, green onion cake, beef pot still taste good. But the food is on salty side. Especially the steam dumplings are very salty and we hardly can finish them. Good thing is they are still fresh and a lady is making them daily.
Ordered bunch of take out since restaurant in dining is restricted until 26Jan Pan fried green onion cake- only $3.99 but minimal green onion filling, not crispy enough, doughy & chewy Steam pork & celery dumplings- presentation was off putting, dumpling were tannish in.color but the taste/texture was good. Pork/celery ratio decent, the celery actually was crunchy which is impressive Jellyfish- the portion was large but I'm not sure if this as real jellyfish. Somehow the texture and "mouth feel" didn't seem right to me Fries noodles w/ beef- this as the star of the group. Huge portion, had the "wok hey" flavor Pan fried pork/chive dumplings- similar to many other restaurants, nicely fried, pork/chive filling nicely minced/mixed Minced pork & Soya paste noodles- alot of noodles, not enough soya paste. Doesn't come close to the Shanghaiese style "jaja mein" so my "jaja mein" quest continues. Overall, not bad, food will last me at least 3-4 days, as Wayne & Garth would say "party on"
The food is average, it's affordable but the prices have gone up over the past few years. The service is also average. It's good for a quick meal, but nothing special.
I expected more. We ordered mapo taofu lunch special which was very good. Superior quality of rice and the taofu itself was well seasoned and "la" (spicy). Except one needed a microscope to see the amount of taofu, mostly rice. The dumplings, which was thE reason we stopped by were so promising. Hand made shui jiaozi just like in China. Visions of silky dough with juicy filling inside were teasing me. FAIL! The dough was nothing special, and barely any filling at all. Dry. So disappointing.
Doesn't look like much when you're looking inside this place or when you're looking at the photos online. The food was just what I expected for it's price, quality and appeal online. My boyfriend and I stopped by here since it was one of the few restaurants still open later than 10pm. It worked out also because I wanted to have dumplings. The staff and service is what you'd expect if you dined at any Asian restaurant that don't put much effort on the service aspect of the business so it is what it is. Neither friendly nor rude, just adequate. This restaurant would probably be on my list to go to when I'm super hungry and have nowhere else to go after 10pm.
- not too much traffic, no need to reserve - booths are terribly worn through with rips. They could at least patch it up with tape so it doesn't rip more and we aren't sitting on sponge - servers were not attentive. We needed more tea and they didn't refill despite the restaurant being quite empty (around 7pm) - one of our dishes did not come at all. My friend had been before and said the food was tasty so we let her order a few items she got last time including: Cold Pork belly with ginger - thin slices topped with chopped garlic in a light soya sauce Beef brisket noodles - noodles were quite fresh tasting and well cooked Vegetables with mushroom - Choi with sliced white/brown mushrooms werent greasy or heavy but dressed in a flavourful sauce Some spicy chicken + rice dish I believe from their lunch menu. This was my favourite dish. I didn't eat the dry chilies but the spice level was very good and the chicken was delicious. I also live when red Peppers and carrots are paired with stir fried chicken. Thick, glaze like sauce. Pan fried pork and leek dumplings - large with a nice thick wrapper that leaves a bit of chew Price is very good so I would come again but would choose to order and pickup the takeout instead!
My go to dumpling place in Richmond Hill. How can you not serve good dumplings with a name like this! Not sure what to say but try them all! Serving size is pretty good and the skin not overly thick or thin. I come here lots and have never been disappointed. You should also try the green onion cake too. Parking may be your only challenge here!
If you ever want to eat on a budget and be full and satisfied, then this place is definitely for you. Chinese dumpling house is one of my favorite restaurants whenever I'm in Markham and craving for some dumplings. Coming around at 7pm on a Friday, the restaurant was starting to get busy but we managed to get a seat. How you order would be through the menu sheet on the table where you can indicate the quantities of each dish. There's a variety of dumplings to choose from, and the offer steamed/pan fried options. They also have rice and noodles as well, but of course we came here for dumplings ;) Food wait time was around 10-15 mins depending on the meat as some takes longer to make than others. We ordered: - Pan Fried Pork Dumplings (6 for $6.25): Perfectly fried and very juicy! The pork was super soft and definitely was fresh. Every bite had soup coming out haha. - Steamed Lamb Dumplings (15 for $8.99): There were so many pieces! These were also equally juicy and you can really tell how fresh it is; they make their dumplings in house daily. - Pan Fried Green Onion Cake ($3.99): It was very tasty and definitely soft, but I'd say that it was a bit too oily because when I held it with my fingers, there was a good amount of oil on it. - Tomato and Egg Drop Soup (Regular for $5.59/large for $6.59): Very tasty, and the bowl was huge! My friend and I couldn't finish this in one sitting. With all these dishes, our bill was under $30 with tax/tips. Definitely a great restaurant if you're on a budget and for tasty food!
Wanted to try something different so went here first time with the woman on NYE for dinner. The food was very good and reasonably priced except the service dropped it down a notch. $48 including tip. 2 people behind the counter at front making fresh dumplings and Siu lung bao. One more person in front looking after the take out orders and preparing when customers arrive. After our dinner was served, totally forgotten after that until we wanted the bill. Overall good first experience.
Came here because I heard that their Markham location (which we frequented to) closed recently.... sad. But also glad that it had another location. We drove up hoping that they have the same quality of food! And they do!! And they had extra menu- XLB! Bonus! When one door shuts, another opens kid of scenario!!! Yey! Food was exactly what we were looking for in Markham location. Juicy dumpling with perfect seasoning. I cannot live without their sour cabbage and pork dumpling. The XLB was not the type that I look for in XLB - it had no soup, and with stronger seasonings. BUT the wrapper was very tasty. Their dumpling skins are good no matter what I order. It is a tasty dumpling itself although I hesitate to call it as Xiao long bao. Soup had defined spiciness & sourness, knocking me out as usual. First time we tried Mapo Tofu. Loved this! Hit delicate balance of heat, freshly ground Sichuan peppercorns aroma, and rich fermented bean paste flavor. I am so looking forward to coming back. This location is more spacious and refined interior. Comfortable. read more
Not too busy when we went around lunch time. Overall it was good. Portions were decent sizes. Everyone was expecting the pan fried dumpling to be a bit more crispier. We also had pan fried green onion pancake, which was shaped different than how we're used to, but was good. Xiao Long Bao didn't really have soup, the lamb dumplings were juicier and was probably the favorite for for everyone. read more

I had to grab the prices from Hungry Panda online because I don't trust their menu photos from three years ago :') The prices here as a whole are extremely reasonable though but as far as I remember, they only take cash -[PANFRIED BEEF DUMPLINGS - 5 PIECES] $11.24 (10/10) These are always perfectly panfried, and filled with soup so be careful when biting into them. I suffered this time because I haven't had dumplings in quite some time but that's 100% my own fault :( These also go really well with black or red vinegar if that's your thing too -[SOUP FILLED DUMPLINGS - 6 PIECES] $11.24 (10/10) I haven't had a soup dumpling in a while but this really hit the spot! Unfortunately for me though, my ability to utilize chopsticks is basically non-existent so even though I can pick up food, and get that same food into my mouth, it is by no means a graceful action. This inability to use chopsticks well is what caused the soup in my dumpling to drain before it got to my bowl for the first one I tried to grab D: I learned though so when I went back for a second one, I brought a spoon as backup haha. These go well with any of the vinegars too! -[STICKY RICE - SALTED] $6.24 (10/10) Best to eat this within the same few hours you order it if you don't finish it in the initial meal as the rice can harden over time. Thiis is basically a fried salty dough stick covered in pork floss, pickled veggies, and then all wrapped up by sticky rice. It is then served wrapped in cling wrap, and cut into segments. I looooove getting this because I like the different textures, and flavors each component brings to the dish -[ONION PANCAKE ROLL & SLICED BEEF] $11.24 (10/10) I one time ordered THREE orders of this to go, and it was just for me HAHA :') That is how much I enjoy it. This is basically what tastes like stewed beef slices, with oyster sauce, and green onions, all wrapped up in a green onion pancake so it becomes a roll. It is then covered in tin foil, and cut into segments! Very delicious, and good for sharing, or just for eating alone too -[MINCED MEAT WITH NOODLE IN PEKING SAUCE] $14.99 (10/10) If you order this for takeout, it can sometimes not come with enough sauce - that isn't a problem at all for when you dine in though! The sauce with the meat perfectly coats the noodles, and makes one scrumptious dish that goes with everything else ~ Be aware that this place may make you sit at a larger table, to then share, and dine with other people you don't know when it gets busy! This is quite common in Chinese culture so just wanted to provide a heads up on this aspect too. We didn't have the table-sharing applied to us though because we ordered so many dishes that it consumed the entire tabe :D read more

Damn my ratings have been as generous as the food served at Chinese Dumpling House. Dishing out them 5 stars like this place dishes out dumplings. I value two things in life: a bank account that's not in the red, and good food. My family has the same idea which is why every time we come here, we lose all sense of self control and order 2/3 of the menu. Those prices! That flavour! My favourite things are very simple: pan fried long dumplings, and cold century eggs with soy sauce and cilantro. Fried dumplings are my vice and the ones here are juicy and delicious. I unashamedly ordered and finished a plate of these babies by myself. Multiple times. No regrets. On the other hand, cold century eggs offer the best flavour/texture contrast with everything else on the table and I always have to order these. Be warned that century eggs have a very peculiar taste/smell/look and isn't for everyone. Honourable mentions include: 1) Beef noodle soup - classic, comforting, noodles 2) Green onion pastry circle thing - literally a circle of delicious, flavourful dough. 3) Spicy fried fish - crispy exterior, soft interior: the fish version of tsundere. To be honest, I haven't come here in awhile so I don't remember the rest of the menu items we've ordered but I do remember it all being pretty good. After writing this review and remembering how much I miss this place though, you can bet my broke ass that I'm coming back within the week. (66/100) - 2016 read more
I am a regular here for lunch with my colleagues. Apparently my colleague's family knows the owner, and mentioned that he used to have a restaurant in China and was famous for his dumplings. Located in a sea of bubble tea stores at Commerce Gate, you can find the restaurant close to Donburi. There is a large picture menu posted on the outside, and the photos depict delicious dishes at affordable prices. The restaurant is mid-size, but can get busy during peak lunch hour. We've never had to wait because we usually arrive after 1 pm, although the restaurant is usually more than 50% packed. Today, between the two of us we ordered their sweet and sour fried fish lunch combo, regular hot and sour soup, and an order of chive, egg, shrimp, and pork dumplings. This was more than enough food and we still had leftovers. The dumplings were simple and good. The filling and dumpling wrap ratio was superb. The hot and sour soup was spicy. I can't handle a lot of spicy, so I started sniffling. The lunch combo alone could have easily filled one person, the portion was a good size for the price ($6.99). Other dishes I've enjoyed in the past here are: sliced beef with beef pancake, pan-fried dumplings and the beef brisket noodle. read more

Lately, as the weather is getting frosty, I've been eating a lot of dumplings... and I mean a lot! For me, dumplings are the perfect remedy for a cold, cold night. My go-to dumpling place in Richmond Hill is Chinese Dumpling House. I tried sliced pork belly with garlic soy sauce ($5.99), a cold dish that I've loved since childhood. This one was a bit salty even though the meat was quite tasty on its own. I wished the soy sauce had been served on the side instead. My usual order is a basketful of pork and leek dumplings ($4.99 for 15). Cheap and delicious, you can't go wrong with the dumplings here! If leek isn't your cup of tea, there are 12 other kinds of dumplings to choose from, ranging from lamb to vegetable fillings. Pan-fried pork dumpling ($3.99 for 6) are also among my favourites. These are incredibly juicy and flavourful, and I swear I crave them every other week. For dessert, I wasn't very impressed with their red bean paste cake ($2.99). The portion was pretty big for the price, but it was extremely doughy and lacking in red bean paste. I personally prefer Asian Legend's version a lot more. But nevertheless, I'm thankful that Chinese Dumpling House is always there to satisfy my dumpling cravings when I'm in Richmond Hill! read more

Came here on Saturday evening with some friends and family, Chinese Dumpling House focuses on traditional cuisine with some inspirations from the north and south (Cantonese). Though the place inside isn't much to look at, locals sure know where the go-to place is for some comfort food, especially dumplings, which are made in house and fresh. Our party of 5 ordered an array of dishes: Pork and Leek dumpling dumplings Pork and pickled cabbage dumplings Pork and celery dumplings Fried pork dumplings Steamed greens Spicy Beef Crispy beef Green onion pancake House soup. If I had to OMIT, I'd choose the crispy beef, it was overly fried with a lot of batter. Overall their portions are huge and their prices are reasonable (even though Markham/ Scarborough) is a tad bit cheaper and just as good :) read more
A friend of mine chose this restaurant for a simple late dinner. It's a small, unassuming place in a plaza full of restaurants. They have a very large selection of Northern Chinese cuisine. The menu has pages of pictures and descriptions of each dish. Orders are place by filling in quantities on a separate sheet of paper that also has descriptions but no pictures. Three of us ordered six dishes. Big mistake. The portions were very generous and we took home half of it. The prices are very reasonable and the service was very good. We didn't realize how late it was and we were encouraged to order while waiting for our friend because the kitchen was closing in five minutes. Despite this, we were not refused service and never felt rushed during our meal. We ended up being the last diners in the restaurant. Our dishes included steamed lamb dumplings, braised ribs noodle soup, beef shank with pan fried pancakes, twice cooked pork with vegetables, fried egg with bitter melon, and green onion pancakes. Hmmm, it didn't seem like that much when we ordered it. All the food was very tasty, even better than we expected. The pancakes had a nice crispy texture. The lamb dumplings came with 15 in the order and they were very good. I will most definitely order that again, along with the pork and beef shank dishes. read more
One of the better dumpling places in the Markham / Richmond Hill area that makes dumplings fresh to order. Don't expect elaborate decor or service however. Each order of dumplings (steamed) comes in 15 pieces. You can order to share, or enjoy it as your main dish. The fillings are typically pork & chive, bok choy & pork, and other unique flavours that you might not get in other restaurants. The dumpling is juicy and the wrapper is fresh and chewy. It is not as thin as soup dumplings. The beef pancake is unique in a way that the pancake doesn't come prewrapped in foil like other places. The pancake is freshly fried, and a plate of thinly sliced marinated cold beef, hoisin sauce and scallion is served so you can top to your liking. Haven't tried their stir fries or rice dishes so can't comment on those. Typically you get seated quite quickly and no lineup. read more

The menu here is identical to the other Chinese Dumpling House at Metro Square. Since I am with a vegetarian friend, I ended up ordering the mushroom/cabbage dumplings ($4.99) and the Green Onion Pancake ($1.99). I am surprise how good that mushroom/cabbage dumplings taste! Though may not as juicy as a meat variety but think about it, I feel a lot healthier and I did not feel I am missing something. You can see how the dumplings are made freshly for you from scratch through the see through divider. I found the dumplings smaller in size than the one at Metro Square. I don't know because I ordered the vegetarian version here VS the meat version, it might affect the size though... However, the Green Onion Pancake.. is way too oily! There are oil dripping down each piece and another puddle on the dish! I know it is call "Green Onion oil cake" but it is the most oily thing I ever ate! We were so full even with 2 items.. $5 each with tips and taxes. It does get busy during lunch hour, even without any lunch specials. They accepts Mastercard. read more

Food: 3/5 (just okay) Service: 2/5 (Waiter was very straight-forward which was OK, but the cashier was very rude. Service was fast though). Note: paid at counter, order sheet photo included. Don't come here with high expectation about food and also service. As soon as we sat down, waitress would give you order sheet, pencil and tea. We ordered Shredded cucumber & pork with starch sheets, pancake with chive, dry shrimp & Egg, Pan fried meat dumplings and Stir Fried preserved veggie with pork intestines (friend wanted it). Food came really quick, they claimed in house hand made fresh dumpling, but I saw them took a bag of dumpling from freezer. My guess, pan fried dumpling used frozen dumpling instead of fresh made, but who knows. We only liked the dumpling and chive pancake, the rest tasted decent although the starch sheet was kind of bland. Overall, the food was hit or miss, however the cashier was incredibly rude to us, hurting our overall experience. read more

My friend and I wanted to sample some of that White Rabbit bubble tea that's also found in this plaza but wanted to eat a real lunch before hand. She let me know that this was the dumpling spot to be so we came here for noon on Saturday. It is located in Commerce Gate which isn't the best for parking but we both managed to get lucky. There is underground parking which no one ever seems to want to take but it's a little less hectic than circling the surface lot. Even though it was prime lunch time, there were still a lot of empty tables at the restaurant. We were seated quickly at 2 tables that were pushed together. Later when it got busier we were asked if it was okay that they separated our tables so they could seat more customers which we obliged. You're given a sheet to tick which items you would like order similar to what you might do at dim sum. They have a menu with lots of pictures. One thing I frantically looked for on the menu were dumplings in chili oil but no dice, they don't seem to have it. We ordered three dishes which was more than enough for two people. I've never seen a snaking green onion pancake but it was interesting. Each piece of the snake is folded so the outside surfaces are crispy but the inside is puffy and soft. It didn't feel too greasy but I mostly just tasted fried. The steamed egg and chive dumplings are something I never would have thought to order but were actually alright. They screamed breakfast to me which was pretty interesting. Some that we had at the end of the meal were super hard which was disappointing. Lastly we shared the pan fried pork and chive dumplings. These were pretty good because they were crispy and fried on the outside but still juicy on the inside. I opted to dip these in vinegar and that broke up everything kind of tasting the same. For some reason the taste of the chives lingered in my mouth all day which wasn't that great. Overall an ok visit. read more

I came here for a casual lunch and was pleasantly surprised by everything... Everything except for the dumplings. I tried them steamed and pan fried, but I found the skin too soggy for my liking. The dumplings were actually pretty decent, but short of my expectations for a restaurant named after dumplings. The dish you need in your life is the garlic pork belly. It's a cold appetizer of thinly sliced, juicy pork belly topped with spicy garlic sauce. Definitely worth the bad breath you'll get afterwards. Their beef veggie rice brought out a satisfying ratio of rice to toppings, and the beef in their beef noodle soup held a surprisingly good amount of flavour. The green onion pancakes were much thicker than I imagined them to be, but still enjoyable. This is definitely a winner for delicious cheap eats, but there are better spots if you're looking to satisfy a dumpling craving. read more
We were in commerce court for some Chatime and decided we can fit a light snack in before dinner. Looking around at the choices available, dumplings caught our eyes. Its not the best dumplings I've ever had but it's decent. The prices are fair and the restaurant is relatively clean. Service was kinda slow but it could be that we were there at an awkward time, 4:30pm and there was only one waitress serving 4 tables. read more

4.5 stars. A really good cheap eats! Recently changed owners and newly renovated as of March 13th 2016. I was a little afraid that the food quality would drop but it didn't. Service isn't excellent (never was), but that's to be expected of an inexpensive Chinese restaurant. Chinese dumpling house is starting to become a bit of franchise. There's two locations in Markham and one in Mississauga. Actually it's possible that they have a few more locations, that I don't know about. Dumplings here are cheap. $6.50 for 15 steamed ones. $6.99 for 12 pan fried ones. Most dishes here range from $5.99 - $ 6.99 with a few hotpot dishes that are $9.99. My favourites and recommendations are the steamed pork and bok choy dumplings, fried pork and bok choy dumplings, pan fried onion bread, stir fry beef noodles, braised beef noodle soup and the jellyfish appetizer. Tip: The menu says pork and cabbage in the English translation... but it's not cabbage, it's bok choy in the dish and in the Chinese literation. I recommend 1-2 dumpling dishes per person. They get really filling. The restaurant also has soya sauce if you ask for it. DO NOT GO TO THE LOCATION AT WARDEN AND STEELES. That location is much dirtier than this one at commerce gate. I have seen many cockroaches in the Warden and Steeles location... I'm surprised they're still open. read more
This was me and my hubbys first time going to a Chinese dumpling house. We loved it! We tried the pork, shrimp and leek. The filling was so tasty and the dumpling shell was nice and doughy. We also tried to beef and broccoli which was so succulent and was amazing with rice. The hot and sour soup tasted a tiny bit watered down to us but we like really fragrant and vinegar-y tasting hot and sour soup (like the one you get downtown at Hwa Sing). I just added a bit more vinegar to mine and it was good! The waitress was nice and food came promptly after ordering. We also brought our baby (who was a bit fussy) but we didn't feel unwelcome because of it. If we're in the area, we would definitely come back. read more
