This place increases our quality of life outside of Boston more than almost any other establishment. Always great food--a cut above the standard Chinese/Asian restaurant in quality of food and experience. The dumplings are amazing, specials always worth a try, great veggies. Fast. Casual service in a really hip atmosphere. Totally cool to BYOB/W (and available at the grocery next door if you're empty-handed.) Same quality from day 1 to today. GO HERE ASAP!!! read more

We had "takeout" as our first experience eating food from this restaurant. The Chicken Ramen was absolutely delicious ! The broth , chicken and vegetables were still hot, very fresh and was a hardy, yet light meal in itself. We also had the shrimp fried rice, braised beef Beijing noodle soup and pan-seared Shanghainese pork. The sauces, flavors, light and freshness of this Chinese restaurant was impressive. So glad we had leftovers to enjoy the following day. Looking forward to eating inside next time read more

A rare offering in suburbia! It's hard to find real deal dumplings & pork buns but these do not disappoint. There was a bit of a line when we showed up for lunch and no tables, but it moved quickly and seemed to be a good flow of people leaving just as orders were coming up. The buttered miso noodles were a great choice for kiddos and the adults ended up trying to steal them away! Try the sweetened condensed milk buns as a dessert. read more

Been here a few times and want to love this place, but a few things need addressing. Came in at 3pm on a Wednesday and only one table was occupied. The woman who took my order seemed preoccupied and somewhat annoyed that there was a customer here. Not friendly at all. Went to sit down, and although all the tables had been cleared of dirty dishes, none had been wiped clean. So I grabbed a paper napkin and while I was wiping it down, another woman appeared with my drink and a plate. No offer to get a rag and help me. Strange. Food is good. Some items seem like a bargain, others are pricey. I think a bit more maintenance and a few more smiles would go a long way in customer satisfaction. read more

Went for Lunch as we heard it was good. Got there at 12:30 and it was packed. Took a seat at the window. Started with veggie dumplings, tea and veggie ramen. Excellent! Very fresh, pan fried . Next had some pork and cabbage dumplings, perfect and tasty. If you are looking for a 5 star this isn't it but the food was fresh and great tasting. Menu is small and not typical Chinese. Well worth the 45 min drive! read more

Been here a few times: with my wife, with our son & on business. Always satisfies: good, fresh dumplings, great noodle soups, nice people in a pleasant space. Works like a cafe, but with better, healthier food. Check out the 3 day pork ramen! read more

Dumpling daughter is a great lunch spot if you work in the area! I don't recommend short notice, but we were able to order for 12 people in less than an hour for pickup. If you're ordering for one, though, I recommend their wonton soup and the steamed BBQ pork buns. Add a bubble tea and your day will be delicious! read more

I was excited to try this place after hearing and reading so many positive reviews, but am rarely in the Weston area so made a special trip. The employee who took my order was not helpful or friendly and more interested in returning to her phone than offering advice about the menu. When my dumplings arrived they were tasty and nicely pan seared, but cold in the middle. I thought about saying something, but the thought of interacting with the same employee who took my order was less appetizing than the cold dumplings, so I just dealt with them. I also got the vegetarian brussel sprout special. I liked the sauces drizzled on top, but the sprouts themselves were very, very greasy. I'll likely try the Cambridge location and hope for a better experience, but won't go back to Weston. read more

The soup was good and the dumplings were selfish. When you walk in, you seat yourself and then can go to the counter to order. I would give 5 stars except that it was really confusing that we had to seat ourselves and that there weren't actual waiters/waitresses. I had to ask another patron after standing at the door awkwardly for 3 minutes. Please add signage. read more

My kids love the ramen and the boba. Very accommodating when it comes to food allergies and preferences.

Have always liked this place but was disappointed with recent takeout experience. Pork and cabbage dumplings were fine, but nothing special. Moo Shi wrap was also just OK. The biggest disappointment was the eggplant in garlic sauce. It was so oily and so over-the-top SPICY that it was inedible. It was such a shame to have to toss it. (I would've specified not-too-spicy when ordering, if the menu said it was spicy.) I'm hoping it was just an off night. read more

Let me preface this by saying, this is a good restaurant but it is no Momofuku. The best thing on the menu is the three day pork ramen ($12). It is quite flavorful. The napa cabbage and pork dumplings ($6) are good too but I craved more flavor. The buns (bao) are sometimes mushy but the flavors are great. The prices are a little high and the portions are small. The high prices were kind of expected given the location in the heart of Weston. read more

I drove down from NH after seeing on phantom gourmet. This place is fantastic! Super friendly and outgoing, they were very helpful for my first time here. I ordered the "grandmas Beijing meat sauce over spaghetti", and the "steamed pork and chive" dumplings. The dumplings were really good (but no where near a Windsor cafe), but the grandmas dish was UNREAL! This dish was a 10! Will definitely bring the wife next time and try some of the other dishes as well... read more

I've been here about three times since I go to school right down the street, and it's pretty good. Somewhere between 3 and 4 stars, but closer to 4 stars. The first time with my mom, we got the Sally Ling's cucumber salad, pan-seared pork and napa cabbage dumplings, LUXE lump crab meat crab rangoons, fried rice, and golden fried buns with condensed milk. You order at the counter, and they give you a number to put on your table. You place the number on your table, and they bring the food to you! We sat next to a family that came all the way from Quincy (about a 30-40 minute drive) to try this place. The Sally Ling's cucumber salad was yummy, we killed it ($5). The pan-seared pork and napa cabbage dumplings are my favorite, I've gotten them every time I've gone ($6 for an order of 6). The LUXE lump crab meat crab rangoons was average, it felt like something I could get at any other Chinese food restaurant (I also felt like it was pretty pricey, $8 for 5). The fried rice was mediocre, something I could've made at home... and I'm pretty sure there were raisins in the fried rice?? ($9 for a descent amount of fried rice). I think the golden fried buns with condense milk was my favorite part of the meal, I find myself craving it randomly throughout the day sometimes. It's like if all things magical melted into your mouth, and you get 3 pieces for the $4. I also got an Organic chicken katsu rice bowl for take out, and it was average. The second time I went, I got the pan-seared pork and napa cabbage dumpling (again!!) and the braised pork belly taiwanese bun ($8 for two pieces). I did not really like it, and regretted my decision. The braised pork belly was too salty for my liking. My friend got the shrimp dumplings, and it reminded me of the haiku you get a dimsum, but it did not taste fresh ($6 for 6). She also commented on the fact that her three day pork ramen broth was too salty, and she did not like it ($12). The most recent time I went, I was visiting a high school friend that works there. My roommate and I ordered the Sally Ling's cucumber salad (I was hyping it up to her), the soup dumplings ($12 for 6), shrimp fried rice, pan-seared pork and napa cabbage dumplings, and the organic chicken cutlet taiwanese buns. The cucumber salad was way to oily, and I could barely feel my mouth from the burning sensation of the sesame peppercorn oil. I did not want it to go to waste though, so I finished it. The soup dumplings were pretty good, but I've only had soup dumplings like once before at something random Chinese restaurant on rt.9 so my opinion might be irrelevant here. The shrimp fried rice was mediocre, and WAY too overpriced ($16 a plate). Our friend recommended the taiwanese bun, and I'm so glad he did. It was my favorite, the chicken cutlet was so tasty. It was a pretty pleasant experience. In conclusion, this place is pretty good if you know what to order I'd say. I come here when I don't wanna go all into Boston or down route 9 to grab some asian food (even though it's beyond americanized). Also it is a little pricey, which I'm not shocked since it is located in Weston. It's just not college student friendly, which is why I treat myself once in a while. I wished it didn't close at eight either, cause when I'm craving dumplings late at night this would be quite convenient. read more

I'm also shocked at the low rating... it makes no sense given how great this place is. I eat here a couple times a month, and i haven't every had a disappointing meal. The dumplings are amazing, as are the pork belly taiwanese buns, and the dan dan noodles. Ramen is really good too. (yes, its expensive... you're in downtown weston) read more

I saw Dumpling Daughter on Phantom Gourmet last weekend and realized it was close to work so I had to give it a try for lunch. I went for the Pork and Chive steamed dumplings with the Wonton soup. The Wonton soup included 4 wontons made with a thin wrapper making them taste delicate and light. The Wontons came in a good portion of broth garnished with sliced chives. The soup also came with a side of crispy noodles that added a little crunch as I slurped down the rest of the broth. The dumplings, steamed pork and chive, were good sized and had a nice thick wrapper on them. The dumplings came with your standard dipping sauce that was very tasty. Overall the taste was great and the 6 dumpling portion was a good fit as well. As for the general location it was easy to find and had plenty of parking around back. Come early because it was packed for lunch. Luckily there were a few bar seats so it wasn't too hard to find a spot as a single person. Even with the place being full I never felt like I had to wait a long time to order or for the food to come out. I'll be back soon! read more

Yummy, fresh, filling! I appreciate all the vegetarian items on their menu and have them on constant rotation as I work nearby. Favorites include - Spicy Tofu Rice Bowl, Vegetable Dumplings and Vegetarian Ham Buns. The staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is casual, stylish and fun. Only thing I could wish for would be more vegetarian options (because I can't get enough!). read more

Much improved all the way around since the last review. Food is better, service is better and most of the kinks have been worked out. read more

Food was so so, but very fast! Best thing is they have ORGANIC chicken so my little can eat and I can be at ease!

Simply perfect dumplings. Authentic, good variety and quality ingredients. They're the best in the are

Hey look, once again a new place opens and instantly there are a bunch of fake negative reviews, gross exaggerations and and a total unwillingness to let a brand new place work out the kinks. I went and loved everything about it, even with the brand new place quirks. Weston has needed a place like this for decades. read more

Pseudo-Chinese food for Americans who do NOT know what good Chinese food tastes like. The ambience is like a poorly designed Dunkin Doughnuts. We had pan fried dumplings, wonton soup and mooshi pork wrap that was among the worst Chinese food I have ever had. The taro bubble tea was OK. read more

Tried this place for lunch one day and I'm glad I did. I got the 3 Day Pork Ramen and it was delicious! Went back over the weekend to try some other things. The Taiwanese buns are really good. The Chicken rice bowl was a little bland. The pan seared pork dumplings are my favorite. read more

I attended an event catered by Dumpling Daughter. I really enjoyed the lo mein, fried rice, spring rolls, and soy braised ribs. However the dumplings were just alright and unlike the rest of the food they arrived cold and lacked flavor. Maybe the dumplings are different if bought in-house but the other entrees are definitely worth a try. read more

I really don't think there's a point to giving anything other than a 1 or 5 star review. Either I have something to recommend or something to warn people about. Anything else and I might as well be writing in my fucking diary. Dumpling Daughter sucks though and all attempts to be edgy or witty aside, the food is just plain shit. I can get better dumplings at my grocery store in the frozen food section. Their $20 dry, tiny slice of salmon on the bland bed of rice next to a single little feather of bok choy, smaller than my dick (and my dick is fucking tiny), was the saddest meal I've seen in a while. I did enjoy the hydrophobic chicken dumplings though. I was actually impressed with how dry and bland they were. See, you have wet noodles filled with chicken in a bright red sichuan sauce, all signs point to being flavorful and moist. I shit you not, the chicken was so dry that it wouldn't even accept a drop of that bland sauce as some mercy. read more

Have eaten here multiple times, no complaints about the food. Usually get seared dumplings and pork buns and they always taste great. Mango bubble tea is also really good! My only complaints are that the bathrooms are never cleaned, it's always a disaster whenever myself or someone else I'm with goes in there. Also, the waiters aren't very friendly. They pretty much ignore you even as they are bringing you your food. I eat here out of convenience, but you can definitely find better food/service at another restaurant. read more

This is a cute Chinese restaurant with a lot of authentic menu options. There is parking lot right in front of restaurant and the decoration is cozy for dining in read more

The dumplings here are so bomb. Me and my family will come get take out here and get a whole tray of dumplings. Sooo amazing. And for the people who don't want any dumplings Dumpling Daughter has great fried rice options and much more. Great spot to eat in or take out! 5 stars read more

Had the supreme honor of dining here with my fiance', her sister and the owner Nadia yesterday. Fun = magnificent. Place = cute and well laid out. Staff = top notch and ready to assist. The food was clean, fresh and tasty. Just what the doctor ordered. The best part of the meal was to get the belle of the ball Ms. Nadia to sit and chat with us telling stories of work and family. What a treat. The food is done well - this place is truly worth the visit. ENJOY!!! THANK YOU NADIA!! read more

O. M. G. I sat in 70 minutes of traffic to eat dinner here, and it was worth every second of sitting in my car. We ordered pork buns (holy **** they're delicious), taro bubble tea (one of the best I've ever had), and the 3-day pork ramen. The pork was like incredibly tender brisket - you barely had to touch it for the pieces to come apart. I ordered the regular chicken ramen and it was also amazing. It's not a restaurant with servers - you order your food and grab a seat. The tea eggs were perfectly cooked and the broth was perfect!!! Cannot wait to go back! read more

Dumpling Daughter - 3 day pork ramen!!! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Weston, Massachusetts

Not authentic Chinese but ok heated pre made frozen. One of the sisters who own the business always seems annoyed, I don't know if she is going through PMS or she just hate all customers. whatever her problem is she needs to relax and smile just a little. They charge you extra for everything and you the customer are always wrong. I hope they change the way they treat customers cause that is not a good way to do business or be a human being for that matter. read more

I love this place, the soy simmered beef rice bowl is a favorite, great dumplings, even the won ton soup is a cut above. Thai bubble tea there is awesome. Definitely try this place! read more

All dumplings and buns my family tried were just blah. They look and tatste just like normal frozen dumplings and buns in asian grocery store. Chicken dumplings were filled with hard chicken and there's no tatste in it at all. P.S. They don't sell soup dumplings anymore. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place. I used to work right across the street and now I work/live 45 minutes away. I still come here when I'm in the area or somewhat close by. The dan dan noodles are delicious, the chicken cutlet buns are the best things I have ever eaten. The whole staff is super friendly and helpful every time I've been. Highly recommend coming here! read more
