Vegetable lo mein
Nicole N.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Dumplings with sweet spicy soy sauce

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!!

I could not stomach any of their food. 4 crab Rangoon with little to no filling, 2 extremely fatty poor quality chicken teriyaki sticks and 1 egg roll for $17 on a bed of rice that tasted so old. I remember their Mala spicy pot being decent (however not as good as the spots I visit in Cambridge and Allston-Brighton) but gets the job done, there were many shrimp heads but where's the rest of the shrimp? Super expensive for small portions, old beef slices and old shrimp, had a bad smell so I tossed $50 worth of food. I woke up extremely sick this morning from the food, never again.

We knew that there is a couple of few Asian places in the area so we stumble upon this one. It turns out that it was a new Taiwanese place nice bar some TVs and overall clean. We tried the Taiwanese dumplings, which I thought were very good savory packed with meat and fried perfectly. Try the braised pork belly. It was a slightly sweeter sauce, but cooked right. Then we got the slice fish salt and pepper. Overall good experience for traditional Taiwanese food in the area.

Fantastic food in a hidden, non-descript strip mall off the highway off-ramp in Waltham, Umi…read moreprovides as close to fine dining food quality as you can get. I ordered two rolls, the new rainbow roll and the new tiger roll as well as a tako nigiri. The new tiger roll is now one of my favorite sushi rolls ever. A harmonious combination of flavors between the sweet mango, the fatty tuna, the crunch of the asparagus and the earthiness of a thin slice of truffle makes this roll an experience to remember. Fast and friendly service and white tablecloth ambiance makes this a place to come back to while in town. I did two nights in a row

Walked in and host, etc do not acknowledge me so had to find the person I was meeting around the corner. No, hey I believe your person over there. 2. Ordered hot saki - terrible! Had one sip. 3.

Tempura app came out - shrimp was battered up and oily that one couldnt taste shrimp - both shrimp i had to remove the dough which took up half my plate - the waiter saw this and didnt ask anything. The onion and other veggies looked like onion rings and made at a place like a diner. 6. Two stars only because the venue was mostly empty (which is a sign the place probably sucks and its in business just because company lunches around the area; and that we got a semi-private area to sit. Waltham doesnt have great sushi venues, but this wont I would avoid - not worth effort, money, ambience, or experience. Not recommended.

Colorful menu, combo plates available at all times, and duck sauce and mustard on the tables in squeeze bottles. Nothing concerning, but feels much less glamorous than nearby Lotus Blossom and Jindu. If those places are upscale, think downscale here. -- Sweet and Sour Chicken (on a dinner combo): Six lengthy fingers with good meat-to-batter ratio, overcooked to over harden the crusts, and with sweet and sour sauce served in the side as standard practice. But what a sauce: very dark red, with intense flavor and good smoothness, similar to Lotus Blossom, but with the addition of pineapple chunks and slices of onion and bell pepper for a little crunch. The excellent sauce made up for the overdoneness. Above average to well above average. -- Egg Roll (on the combo): Standard old school model with relatively crisp exterior and a grassy green interior comprised of celery, with some pork in there too. Decent flavor but not intense. Good vessel for the duck sauce and mustard. Above average. -- Boneless Ribs (on the combo): With the dinner combo, you get an extra appetizer for the extra $2, so well worth it even at lunchtime. They included far more than the promised 6 pieces and flavor was as close to the 1970s as it gets these days, thanks to the classic glaze and char. Some were perfectly fatty and caramelly moist or juicy, some were too fatty and borderline blubbery, and some lacked fat and were dry. On the average, above average, but the best were elite. Worth exploring as a standalone appetizer. -- Pork Fried Rice: Midrange color, lukewarm temperature, simple preparation of rice, pork bits, and nothing else. Dry and not much flavor. Doable, but a little below average. Some highs, some lows, some promise. I don't envision this place joining my Chinese food rotation, but I can see a return to investigate more.
