The food and service were top notch. Sad to learn that the OG location is the only one leftGood news, you can still buy their stuff at some regional stores to have at home! read more

disappointing and bland we tried all the different dumplings. Not much flavor in any of em. The chewy Sichuan had a nice texture and were the favourite, but the sauce is VERY sweet, rather than spicy or garlic read more

Good but pricey. Chairs are not comfortable. The place could be great if the decor and furnishings were better. Okay food though read more

We stopped by here for lunch and from what I've heard about this restaurant, I was expecting so much more. I wouldn't categorize this food as authentic Chinese food at all. Everything comes out in plastic containers even if you're dining in. You're using single use plastic silverware. The plates were the only thing that wasn't plastic. The dumplings (we ordered the pork and chicken ones) were so-so and reminded me of frozen dumplings you can get at the store. The lo mein was okay, but it reminded me of something I could get at a chain fast-food Chinese restaurant. The green beans were extremely salty and ended up being inedible for us, which was so disappointing. All this cost $44 which felt expensive since this was a quick dine in/takeout spot. read more

Sharing a side entrance with Heirloom, I wanted to try this dumpling-centric restaurant next door. I had the pan seared pork and cabbage dumplings and pan seared Shanghainese buns, which were fresh and flavorful. The interior has beautiful decorations including a large vase and especially gorgeous and endearing aquatic and nature-themed bathroom wallpaper. One odd thing is even when you eat there, they serve the food on plastic containers and plastic silverware, which many others have commented on too. But all in all Dumpling Daughter is a great place and I'd happily visit again. read more

The food is not exceptionally good, nor is takeout boba. Service is fine and seating inside the restaurant is cute and warm during winter. The owner Nadia has come out to check on our party once, which was nice. read more

Super friendly service on a very cute clean and cozy spot. Dumpling and bao were both delicious. Counter order and food is delivered quickly read more

We enjoyed our dinner at Dumpling Daughter last night. The pan seared dumplings are consistently delicious and high quality. My husband enjoyed the kimchi fried rice with egg, adding beef to the dish, and the kids got mango boba tea. We ate outside on a lovely night, and appreciated the patient service as it took us a few minutes to decide on our order. read more

The restaurant is a great change of pace. It is an order at the counter and sit at tables that lack silverware or place settings yet it is the perfect place for a family and group to sit over a casual meal or a place for a snack. The food comes in real dishes and one can get real silverware. Glasses were plastic cups. It works and a really nice room Then the food. All gone. Tried dumplings and they were stars. Scalian pancakes great and ate too many. Won ton soup classic and flavorable. Nothing went to waste. Most helpful is their knowledge of allergies. This point should be highlighted and fantastic their understanding and ability to guide choices. So go and try it. Not for fancy but for that comfortable meal with great choice. read more

I had the shrimp dumplings, which were OK, and the bbq pork bun, which was probably fine but too much vs meat for me. Hubby enjoyed his spicy tofu rice bowl and garlic eggplant, both of which were too spicy for me. read more

Good food, Great service, clean, nice decorations and ambiance. Employees were extremely kind and helpful!

Pretty good dumplings. I liked that I could taste the cabbage in the pork and napa cabbage pan seared dumplings. The service was pleasant and I'd go back to try another type of dumplings or bun. I tried the Shangainese bun which was okay but I feel like I'd enjoy the roasted BBQ pork bun more. I do agree with other reviews that the abundant use of single use plastic is kind of surprising. As an example, you tell them you're eating there and they serve the food in plastic to-go containers even when your intention is to eat food there. The only item that is washable that they provide seems to be small plates that you can eat your food off of. The utensils are plastic and you only know that there are chopsticks available when you're throwing away items from your meal. It is a really nicely decorated establishment. There are beautiful vases, wallpaper especially in the restroom. I do think there is some wear and tear with the dining tables but it shows that it's being used. I would come back though. read more

I really wish their vegetarian dumplings were better. They are flavorless and always disappointing. Three stars for the effort of making dumplings and trying. Get someone who loves vegetables to adjust the recipe! read more

I'm not local, so I stopped by during a roadtrip. I had come here many years ago and very much enjoyed my experience then, but I'm sad to say that my recent visit did not match my memories/expectations. I was shocked that even in my dine-in order, my food was served to me in plastic take out containers. Even for my noodle soup, the broth was served in a separate container, and I had to pour it over the noodles myself. And then there was only trash - no options for recycling all of these plastic containers - so wasteful. As for the food itself, the dumplings were tasty. For my beef noodle soup, the broth was incredibly salty but the rest of the food in the soup was good. read more

Their slogan is "best dumplings in boston" and they've truly underdelivered. Dumplings taste like they were frozen and reheated. The garlic dipping sauce just isn't it. It's not authentic. Noodles were dry and it just lacked flavor. Where is the umami that authentic Asian cuisine always has? The lack of authenticity is such a shame. Don't be hyped by their social media tactics, I was surely tricked. read more

Food was okay, dough for dumplings was too thick and meat in lo mein tasted old like it had been in a refrigerator, uncovered for a week.

Disclaimer: I'm Asian and I live in an area where predominantly are Asian. This place is not authentic by any means. Was it tasty? Not bad.. The favor has been adjusted to cater to non Asian person. The grandma beef noodle was dry and not enough sauce or topping. The Beef soup noodle was okay. The pork belly rice was good. The dumpling schesuan sauce: the dumpling skin was too thick but the sauce made up for it. I usually don't like schesuan taste but this one is very good. Not spicy what so ever but very tasty. I even pout the sauce to my grandma noodle since it was lack of flavor. The Thai tea was okay. It was normal, nothing special. The service was okay, not fast and not slow. The server was very nice and friendly. This restaurant will not survive in So Cal for sure.. read more

I haven't been there in years. Last time it was delicious . Went last week and went to order food. I asked him what are your most popular dishes , since I didn't know what to order. He had zero personality and was no help. I just ordered dumplings, something like Ravioli, a rice dish with a spice and string beans. This was all for me.. . I ate the string bean dish and the trash ate the rest. Sorry everyone but that was my story read more

I just dropped in to grab some dumplings because I was next door and I couldn't resist. I've gone to Dumpling Daughter in Brookline a few times and loved it, and the Weston location doesn't disappoint! The guy at the counter was super friendly and the steamed dumplings I intended to nurse for a while went down in like 3 minutes read more

One of my absolute favorite spots - I LOVE the food and have adored getting to know the owner, Nadia. She is an amazing woman and is constantly giving back to the community! Dumpling Daughter has been a staple in my takeout rotation for years, and I've also dined in a number of times and have always been impressed. Top 3 orders: Fried chicken bao buns: everything about these are literally perfection. The crispy chicken, SUCH flavorful sauce, breading, and the textures of the bao buns contrasting with the chicken are perfection. Would highly recommend - these are a crowd pleaser for sure! Grandma's Beijing meat sauce over spaghetti: this has always been my #1 order in terms of a main dish. The sauce is incredibly unique and has both beef and beans - I've never been a fan of beans but this is SO GOOD!! I could eat 5 bowls in a sitting... Scallion pancakes: can you ever go wrong with these? No, but also...DD does them ESPECIALLY right. I would highly recommend as a side!! You have to try Dumpling Daughter on your next takeout or casual dinner night. I hope you love it as much as I do!! read more

I stopped by Dumpling Daughter in Weston for takeout recently. They are doing takeout only due to the pandemic. I placed my order online and it was ready for pickup 25 minutes later as promised. When you arrive, just call the number posted on the window and your order is brought out to you. I ordered the Three Day Pork Ramen ($12) with Extra Noodles (add $2) and Steamed BBQ Pork Buns (3 for $6). The dry ramen ingredients (in a bowl) and ramen broth (plastic container) were packed separately, pour broth onto dry ingredients when ready to eat. The ramen dish was very good, served very hot which had tender pork belly, quail eggs, bamboo, ginger, seaweed and scallions in a rich tasting pork broth, not too salty. The steamed bbq pork buns were nice and soft outside, filled with modest amounts sweet tangy chopped BBQ pork pieces inside. Overall, I enjoyed a very good takeout meal and hope to dine-in here for dumplings once the national crisis is over. read more

Had the scallion lo mein, and the chicken dumplings. I liked the chicken dumplings and the noodles were alright. There was a huge portion of the noodles! I did not like the donuts. It was a delivery order and it was quick and efficient. The to go containers held up during the drive as well. The bubble tea cover was sealed well and did not spill. I am interested in trying another type of dumpling and lo mein there soon. read more

Too much single use plastic! We enjoyed our lunch at dumpling daughter. Very tasty. But it would have been infinitely more enjoyable if served on non-plastic tableware. Please make the change to non-plastic in house serveware and biodegradable and compostable take out containers and cutlery so we can enjoy your food again soon and often! read more

We had a fantastic experience at Dumpling Daughter the other evening. At the recommendation of a fellow Yelper, we ordered three type of dumplings; pan seared pork & cabbage, chicken, and vegetarian. Even after a 10 minute drive home, they were still crispy as they were not covered in a lot of oil. Also, the batter was thin and not that very thick, doughy type that you get at many Asian/Chinese restaurants. . In fact, a few minutes in the air fryer the next day they were just as good...and maybe with a little more crunch. Delicious! While not usually a fan myself, friends wanted to try the steamed BBQ Pork buns. Three came in an order and they were separated nicely with paper so not to become a stuck together mess on the drive home. They found them to be very good, but a little light on the filling compared to the overall size of the bun. The buttery miso noodles were also ordered with vegetables and the healthy serving size in a bowl made for easy sharing onto smaller plates. Scallion pancakes were ordered and like the dumplings were still very crispy after the drive. Moreover, they were far thinner than most other restaurants and not soaked in oil. Very good! An order of chicken and broccoli was also ordered, but with all of the other food was less popular. Lastly, and perhaps my favorite were the organic chicken cutlet buns. Served with the vegetables and sauces (no mayo) they were crunchy and delicious. Next time we will order a second item since there are just 2 to an order. Overall, very good food with easy to get to convenience. In the sleepy little town of Weston, they close at 8PM, so don't wait to call or book your order on line. They even allow you to indicate any food allergies with each item which is very helpful when you actually do have someone with a shellfish allergy to advise them about. read more

Ordered and waited for order. Mid afternoon so no crowds. Fast delivery of order. Food was excellent. We ordered dumplings, noodles and fried rice. read more

Pretty good but nothing worth trying again. I've seen it advertised on a local food show and we were nearby so stopped in and got Pork buns and Pork dumplings, frozen so we could eat them at home later. The buns were OK but didn't seem to have much pork and the dumplings were OK but nothing worth going out of our way for. It was OK for a visit but not enough to go back. read more

If you come here, stick with their dumplings, and don't get any of their other food. While I know the place is literally called "DUMPLING daughter", I thought it would be nice to try a bit of everything. However, I was pretty disappointed with everything but the dumplings. All of the other food was too salty, or just didn't match the flavors I was used to. I tried the pork and cabbage dumplings and those were great! Will definitely order those again if I'm ever back in this area of Mass. read more

I have been here a few times but this place is very mediocre with very fusion type of noodle and rice bowls. Their ramen is yellow chinese noodles. Their rice bowls is 85% rice with few slices of meat and toppings. Their buns and dumplings taste like frozen buns thrown in a steamer. Never hot. I know this place is popular for dumplings seen at local markets but definitely a 2 star for authenticity. read more

They're still doing only take-out services, so you'll pick your food up from a window counter after ordering ahead. We got the two most popular dumplings - Pan-Seared Pork and Napa Cabbage & Steamed Pork and Chive, bbq pork buns, and pork belly baos. The pan-seared dumplings were definitely superior to the steamed dumplings, but both were pretty good. They come with a bit of soy sauce to dip and flavor your dumplings. I was pretty disappointed in the bbq pork buns, it didn't have the right flavor, texture, or color to the bbq pork that I expected. The pork belly baos were filled with pretty big pieces which made the bao enjoyable to eat. There was enough sauce on the pork belly with the super-soft bao bun made a great combination. Overall, it was a decent meal, but I don't see myself coming back for more. read more

Consistently terrific service, variety of great food, freshly prepared dishes, cozy ambiance, quick prep, hot & tasty offerings.

Always a WIN with Dumpling Daughter ... been too long since we ate here. We drive 40 minutes one way to get all our favorite things. Bao, shrimp dumplings, pork buns... everything on the menu is amazing. Scheuzuan dumplings is a must! I wish we lived closer read more

Informal and pleasant space, most dishes heavily sauced with szezchuan pepper oil (it tingles) and loads of salt. My tongue was macerated. Sometimes this is what you want, and other times you find yourself at Dumpling Daughter because there is no other choice in the area. If I were being fair, I'd give it four stars, but the boba failed me. Don't get the boba. read more

Whole family loved the food. Was allergy friendly which the group appreciated (no nuts). Will definitely be back!

Tried tonight and it was disappointing; we likely won't be back. Pan seared pork dumplings were the best thing we tried, though they were messy looking and not evenly seared. Not much filling, either. I would think with the name Dumpling Daughter they could be assembled to look better than ones you might make at home. Ramen broth was bland and pork belly overcooked. Green beans were salty, BBQ pork bao was fine but wouldn't get it again. Fried rice wasn't the texture of fried -- just soft rice with veggies and again too salty. Nothing was BAD, but nothing stood out as great, either, hence 3 stars. read more

Nothing handmade. All frozen. Real dim sum is in the morning and in china town. Sorry dumpling daughter.

A few weeks ago, I dropped by this place to get takeout lunch since they don't have dine-in service yet. I ordered the pan fried pork and cabbage dumplings, braised pork belly buns, and the pan fried pork buns. The pan fried pork and cabbage dumplings were amazing. Although it's not the bursting juice type of dumpling, they were still very delicious. I like how they put some ginger bits inside the meat. The braised pork belly buns came with a slab of pork belly, cilantro, slivered cucumber and hoisin sauce. It was very savory although I wish the pork belly was more of a melt-in-your-mouth texture. The pan fried Shanghainese pork buns were fresh and good as well. Out of the three, the pan fried dumplings were definitely my favorite. I'm already craving for it again! read more

My family enjoyed our meal at dumpling daughter. When we visited they were still takeout only and not open for indoor dining, but we were able to order our food and enjoy it at the tables outside. Their menu is a bit eclectic, but they have some good options. I particularly love their vegetarian potstickers and definitely recommend trying those! The sesame bubble tea is also really good! read more

This is one of those places you've heard about repeatedly, seen on food shows, anticipated going to, and just never got around to - which means expectations couldn't be higher. Dumpling Daughter exceeded those expectations. Exceptional food, easy to navigate menu, streamlined service, clean and modern, with great special dishes. They've expanded into Boston and it's a treat to now be able to order their food in via UberEats in Southie! read more

Just awful in general. The decor was nice, but the quality of their dumplings were horrible. You would bite into it and it just tasted so off. The staff were alright but the service took forever to eat the food. I do not recommend you eat here. read more

We got there at 11:30am as it opened. The table was dirty. The food is served in single use plastic. the DAN DAN MIEN was really only a bunch of noodles with very little else. Chicken and cabbage dumpling just OK. Won't be coming back at least not soon. read more
