Chin dribblin dumplings made fresh! Employees are very knowledgeable and tell you which items taste better pan seared & which ones taste better boiled. I highly recommend trying this restaurant, they have frozen options too. Great price! read more

I had the worst experience with this place. I called to place an order, and the person on the phone repeatedly told me she was busy. It honestly felt like she didn't want to take my order. Eventually, she said it would be ready in 45 minutes, and I told her my husband would come pick it up. When my husband arrived, she asked for the name and then told him there was no order under that name. She then asked him to repeat everything I had ordered. I called her while he was standing there and told her that was my husband picking up my order. She then handed him two bags. After my husband left, she realized she had given him the wrong order and called me while speaking to another customer. The call went to my voicemail. She told them, "I'm so sorry, that guy stole your food. I'm trying to see if they will bring it back." This was extremely upsetting and unprofessional, especially since the mistake was entirely on their end. The whole experience was disorganized, stressful, and handled very poorly. I would not recommend this place based on the lack of communication and professionalism. read more

Incredible dumplings. So delicious. So pretty. So juicy. So what else do you need? Side dishes? They got 'em. Wait!!! Dumplings ARE the side dish! That's ok. They are top-notch. read more

Great little place. Yummy fresh dumplings. We really enjoyed our lunch. This is more of a fast food type place. Very clean and bright. Fast service. You can watch the kitchen at work, cooking. We found the dumplings to be hot and fresh...large portions. The side salads are great. I don't like beets but their beet salad was crunchy and great. The tea eggs were nice. Really enjoyed our meal. We will be back! Highly recommend. read more

Tried the shrimp & pork with chive dumplings (steamed) and a side of broccoli, plus grabbed the beef & onion pan-fried dumplings to go -- *both* were insanely good! I honestly can't pick a favorite. They give you soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil so you can mix your own dipping sauce -- I liked being able to make my "perfect combo." The staff was super friendly, and it's so cool watching them make fresh dumplings right through the kitchen window! The place has such a bright, happy vibe, and there's tons of parking in the shared lot. 10/10 would go back again (and again)! read more

I really love to eat here, but there is nothing here my husband can eat. So I send him off to another nearby restaurant while I eat dumplings. The dumplings are worth the extra wait for them to pan fry them. Very plain and pleasant dining room that fits well with the simplicity of the dumplings. Everyone there is very pleasant and helpful. read more

I loveeee the dumplings so fresh so good. It's a cute spot, the vibe is calm and the dumplings whether pan seared or boiled, are juicy. They are nice employees and not rude. The menu is small and there isn't room to customize it but I don't see it as an issue for me. read more

I was so curious about Dangela's Dumplings after driving by the restaurant. We were in the area again so we placed an order for carryout. These are made from scratch so they told us it would be about 25 minutes. You can have them boiled or pan fried ($1extra). We ordered the shrimp, pork and chive dumplings and the chicken and mushroom dumplings. They come 15 to an order, which is more than enough. I arrived after 25 minutes but still had to wait another 10 minutes. The dumplings smelled wonderful and made us quite hungry during our 20 minute drive home. The dumplings were still warm and the shrimp ones were like soup dumplings with a lot of liquid. We had ordered them fried so they were a little chewy. Next time I would eat them at the restaurant and order them boiled. The flavors were quite tasty although the dough was a little thick. Definitely one order was enough to share. My car still smells like dumplings. read more

Fast casual place. View the menus on the wall above the counters and order and pay at counter. They will call your table number to pick up your order when ready. I think I waited 10 minutes, and there was only one customer at that time. They make everything from scratch and made to order, so I have no problem with waiting for food this fresh and delicious! I ordered pan-seared (boiled is other option) Shrimp, pork, and chive dumplings. They were served hot and juicy so be careful when you bite into one because the hot juices will splatter. They offer forks and chop sticks and there is soy sauce, black vinegar, and spicy chili paste on the tables, but the dumplings are great as is! I mixed the black vinegar and spicy paste for a unique flavor that I enjoyed. The side of shredded potatoes and carrots is served cold, and I really liked the flavor, texture, and the cooler temp to offset the hot (temperature) dumplings. Great place and I recommend for scratch made dumplings! read more

I'm happy we finally tried Dangela's Dumplings out. Located just south of downtown Libertyville on Milwaukee Ave., this place is within easy biking distance. We were greeted right away and asked if we wanted a walk-through of the menu. We accepted and were given various combo options. I tried the steamed shrimp, pork, and Chinese chives dumplings with the beet salad side. My companion chose the pan-fried beef and onion dumplings with the shredded potato side. Aldi, the Citron tea is super refreshing and light. Why didn't we come sooner??? Everything was delicious, fresh, and nicely seasoned. There is a decent amount of seating including counter stools that have a window into the kitchen. We had a really nice chat with one of the owners and are glad we came to a local business owned by a fellow Libertyvillian. Next time, we'll definitely get some of the frozen dumplings (when we aren't on bikes and/or have a bag with us). read more

We were in the area and found Dangela's Dumplings on Yelp so decided to try it out. We ordered up front and then seated ourselves in the restaurant. It seemed like they were short staffed or something since it took awhile for our food to come out. We ordered the boiled pork and celery dumplings, boiled beef and onion dumplings, and tea boiled eggs to share. The dumplings were okay but pretty bland and a little overcooked. Hubby ordered a milk tea but it was pretty dilute in tea flavor. Not sure if we just came on a bad day but we weren't feeling it during this visit. read more

We were craving some dumplings so we decided to stop on by. We placed our order for pick up. My bf and I have never been here so we decided to do the build your own dumpling orders. My bf ordered the chicken and mushroom dumplings with a side order of shredded potatoes. I ordered the shrimp, pork and chinese chives dumplings with a side order of veggies. It took around 20 minutes for them to prepare which wasn't bad. When you enter the restaurant, it's quite small but enough to dine in. We were greeted warmly by the cashier who had our order ready to go. We got our order and we're quickly on our way. With each order of dumplings, you get 15 pieces of dumplings and I forgot to say that you could either get them boiled or pan fried. My bf and I got our pan fried. If you chose pan fried, it's a dollar extra. We got pan fried (which is definitely the way to go). Anyways, my bf raved about his dumplings. He was hesitant to get the mushroom and the chicken dumplings initially but he loved them. I loved my dumplings as well. They were succulent, tender and juicy. We got red chili pepper oil and soy sauce and with each dip, it helped to enhance the dumplings yummy flavors. Neither my bf or I were impressed regarding the sides. My bf thought the shredded potatoes would be warm but they were luke warm and not enjoyable. Additionally, with the small amount you received, you might as well not get a side at all. I felt the same way when it came to my veggies. Luke warm and I didn't really care for them. Neither of the sides added something spectacular to the dumplings anyways. Overall, the price was reasonable but would suggest to go for just the dumplings and not the sides. I didn't try any of the boba or teas and it's kinda hard considering that there is a Kung Fu tea right across the street and I'm a Kung Fu tea loyalist. Overall, will keep this place in my rolodex of yumminess if you have a craving for dumplings. read more

Came here to this cafe in Libertyville for the first time looking to get dumplings. D'Angela's Dumplings certainly has these, but the selection is also limited. It only has meat proteins such as beef and chicken, so none that are vegetarian. Even so, there's a few vegetables for sides. The sides were actually pretty good, so I wasn't that mad at them. A pretty small place that was hard to get to at first. It has the one side facing the main street, but you can't get in. The entrance is actually around the back by the parking lot. Inside it looks pretty corporate. You would think it was a chain if you didn't know about it. Has the dumplings as well as some other things to get. The Beet Salad and the Edamame are good sides. It's about $3 to get a good amount of each. The beets were pickled and tart. A pretty good cold salad for when it gets hot. The edamame was also lightly seasoned without being real salty. Good place for getting fast dumplings. It has a fast casual set up so it looks like it may not be that good, but it was better than expected. The only thing is the dumplings are meaty with beef or chicken, so get some sides if there's vegetarians. read more

Located in downtown on Milwaukee avenue on the corner of a plaza. If you blink and aren't looking for it while driving you might just miss it. Bringing a taste of traditional Chinese dumplings right to the backyard of Libertyville. Whether you're ordering your dumplings steamed or deep fried, you are able to curate your own combos with the different flavors that they have. They prepare the dumplings fresh for you so it sometimes does the patience but when it's fresh, it's delicious! The combos include 15 dumplings and a side dish. You can also grab some milk tea or honey teas to complete your meal. For my selection I got shrimp, pork and Chinese chives, with a side of edamame. For this experience, we ended up having to take it with us. I got my dumplings steamed (or boiled as they call it) and unfortunately they did fall apart in transport but the flavors were great. I've also come back to enjoy them fresh and they were better fresh. All in all, for a quick meal, you can go wrong with fresh dumplings! If you have a party and are in need of a great on, you also have the option to pick up a frozen. :) read more

Absolutely delicious! Making homemade dumplings is a timely process so when I found this place it was like winning the lottery! Handmade, authentic, healthy and fresh. What else can you ask for? We are vegetarian so we always get the egg / zucchini. I prefer boiled and my spouse prefers pan fried. Each order comes with 15 dumplings, a healthy side and sauces! Stop what you're doing and give this place a try. You won't regret it! read more

I've been here many times. I love it for excellent dumplings and conversation with friends and family, and for excellent dumplings by myself when I want to listen to my audiobook or sit down with my computer to get some work done. People are super nice. At peak times there may be a wait because the dumplings are made to order and they get busy, but it's very worth it. If you like eggs, their tea eggs are great! read more

This is your spot if you love dumplings. You first start by selecting whether you want your dumplings steamed or pan fried (an extra $1). Then you pick your choice of dumplings- from egg to chicken, shrimp, pork, beef, or vegetable). You get to pick a side- seaweed salad, side salad, shredded potato salad, and coleslaw. Lastly you can pick a sauce to pair with your dumplings- soy sauce, chili sauce, and I believe they have a third option. In addition to the dumplings you could add a boba tea and tea boiled eggs. We've had the beef and onion, along with the shrimp and pork dumplings both pan seared. They are made cooked to order, so you get fresh hot dumplings. We took ours to go and we could not resist the smell on the drive home and ate half of them before even getting home. The outside has a slight crispness to it and the filling is not only flavorful but juicy. I appreciate that they do not skimp on the filling, like some places do I do wish they have an actual dumpling sauce. I think the soy sauce is just to overpowering so kept it light if you use it. I also wish they were a tad bit more generous with the sides. It's super small. Like a 2 bites you're done small. Now- say you love their dumplings so much or you just want to have some later in the week, they do sell frozen dumplings that you can cook at home! read more

This place has some truly excellent dumplings! The place was small but clean and the worker who took my order was very friendly and helpful. It took about 10 minutes for our order of pan cooked, pork shrimp and chive dumplings to come out. Careful, they are literally bursting with flavor! They shoot out juice when you take a bite, so be prepared for some mess. The sides are a nice accompaniment but nothing to write home about. I enjoyed them so much I got a second order, this time the beef and onion. Again, fantastic. I liked the pork ones better, but they were all delicious. You can order some frozen ones to take home as well, I think I'll definitely grab some next time. Overall a great experience! I do wish they had a few more options, both for the dumplings and the sides, but at least everything they make is done well. Come try these dumplings, you won't be disappointed. read more

Great dumplings. Not officially soup dumplings but they have some soup like quality.

Gosh what an amazing place here in Great Lakes. I really enjoyed the pan seared dumplings. They were soooooo good. Service was fast and very polite. The store was very pretty too. 5/5 rating because I have a full belly and am definitely coming back! Thank you! Amazing recipe too. :)) read more

What an amazing experience! The most authentic dumplings you can find around here and the owner was so delightful to talk to. We got a variety of dumplings and the hot tea pot and it was perfect. Everything made in house - the chili sauce, the meat chopped in house, and the sides. It was so great we will definitely be back! read more

We came here after our golf game and order some dumplings, our first dine-in experience over 14 months! It was kinda weird sitting inside to eat, since we've been doing take outs a lot since the pandemic started! But I felt pretty comfortable and safe eating here, no one else was dining inside except for us! I saw a few take out orders during the time we're there! I finally got to taste their dumplings, we order steam and pan seared! I had three different fillings, chicken, beef and shrimp! The only problem is when we got the food, I really can't tell which is which! The flavor wasn't that distinct, I had chicken with mushrooms but didn't taste any mushrooms! That goes with the beef and shrimp! All three flavors tasted the same. This is really a self service place, you order and pick up at the counter! When you are done, you bring your dirty plates to a bin in the front and throw all the trash in the trash can! The coolest thing that I thought was pretty cool was their sanitized chopsticks dispenser! read more

We were in the area to visit the Adler Art Museum, and this eatery caught our eye because we love dumplings! We tried 3 kinds: shrimp, pork, and chicken. Everything was delicious, served piping hot, and enjoyed by our group of friends. Even my toddler liked them, and I appreciated that they weren't too salty because it's hard to find low-sodium toddler food for takeout. Friendly service. Would return next time I'm in the area :) read more

Amazing. Though it's not in my area or near anywhere I'd typically go, I'd definitely go back...again and again and again. Greeted by a friendly young person who took our order at the counter. Grabbed a seat of which there were many, I suspect most people place "to go" orders. Then waited while our dumplings were lovingly made to order. Love that there are veggie options and that each order of 15 dumplings come with a healthy side. Their grapefruit honey tea, which can be hot or cold, rocks. They have mochi for dessert! Lots of options, plentiful parking, plentiful seating. read more

I'm really shocked by these reviews- dumplings are my favorite food! Ordered shrimp/pork. I actually was upset at first since I thought they had given me the wrong order, because I could not locate anything shrimp-like until the third dumpling. Completely mushy exterior- totally overcooked and bland filling to boot. The sauce offered was straight soy. Ugh. So disappointing. I rarely leave food, but I seriously only ate about three of these after being on a plane all day and then straight to work for multiple hours. Just not worth eating after all that. read more
