This is my favorite restaurant for a casual dinner and a movie date night! Dumpling house is in an adorable house right next to the Belcourt, and has a cute interior and great patio. To me, this is the perfect order for 2: 2 orders of peanut butter dumplings (yes, you need your own because they're that good, and for optimal sauce dipping for your other dumplings too!!) and an order of steamed half chicken coriander half spicy pork dumplings. Definitely don't skip the drinks! I got the lychee dragonfruit tea and added in lychee popping boba this last time. Delish. I haven't been super impressed with some of the items aside from the dumplings - I wouldn't get the hot and sour soup again and could take or leave the cucumber salad. But the dumplings and the drinks alone easily make this place a 5/5. Some of the best dumplings I've had in Nashville! read more

Dumplings were pretty good! I think I will do the pan seared next time. I wish they told me you have to ask for dumpling sauce when you order in because I would have wanted that too. I didn't know until after that the had it. I really enjoyed my milk tea. It was delicious. Food was brought to the table after you order and the place is really cute. My friends love the spot. I like all the different tea and dumplings they have. I'll be back again to try the pan seared with dumpling sauce. read more

I have seen raving reviews Dumpling House on TikTok and I have been influenced to try. It sits right next to a couple of other food spots. The view from the outside looks & feels like a cozy house. Warm and inviting !!! The staff was super friendly and very helpful. The person who took our order also gave us recommendations to try. We ended up getting the (6)spicy pork and (6) curry chicken dumplings pan fried. Our drinks were peach strawberry tea & lychee dragonfruit tea. The dumpling was . I didn't expect the curry chicken to be that good. Next go round, I'm going to get them steamed. I recommend this place!! read more

I recently tried Dumpling House with some friends that go on the regular, and now I get the hype. It's such a great spot!! So cute and homey. The staff is extremely friendly, service is fast, and everything is delicious and fresh. We had both the steamed and fried dumplings, and I can't say which was better. The Spicy Pork was *chefs kiss.* The drinks were just as good as the food, and the menu has tons of options. We grabbed some Mango Fruit Tea that was sweet and refreshing. Overall, everything was great. I'll see you soon, Dumpling House! read more

I won't lie, the fried dumplings were not like what I have had in the past. That being said, I've had several types of dumplings and momos throughout New York and the borough of Queens. The dumplings I received from dumpling house were pan fried, but in a bizarre cake type formation, and I had to break each dumpling off from that fried cake. It was rich and oily. In fact, when I sent a photo to my New York friend, she asked if the dumplings had been prepared in a slab of cheese. I got the curry chicken and the curry beef with onion, however because of the composition, I could not tell them apart. Despite my coworkers saying they always expect spiciness from this place, I got very little spice. That being said, I gave it four stars because I can't fairly give it less. That's because dumpling house offers more, including soups and broth, as well as dumplings that are boiled or steamed. Additionally, my coworkers seem to really love this place. I can't tell if this is a me problem or a dumpling house problem or just a simple misunderstanding of what a fried dumpling is actually supposed to be. read more

Pan seared dumplings are my favorite so I was pleasantly surprised how delicious and perfectly crispy the pork and cabbage dumplings were. The hot and sour soup was really good but the taste reminded me of chili. Service was quick and there's plenty of seating. Parking is a hassle but that's the general comment about this whole area. There was a weird smell inside initially but then your nose gets accustomed to it. read more

The dumplings here never disappoint and are always amazing and made fresh! We got spicy pork dumplings (half fried and half steamed) and chicken curry (half fried and half steamed). I recommend the spicy pork - definitely one of the best dumplings I have had! The staff is nice and helpful, restaurant is clean. There is a lot of street parking in front of the restaurant. There is also a good selection of outdoor seating. I will be back to try the peanut butter pork dumplings! read more

We came in on a gloomy Sunday around 1:30 pm and it was almost empty besides 1 table that was already enjoying their food. The staff was helpful and kind. We place an order for 1/2 spicy pork, 1/2 pork and cabbage steamed dumplings, and a strawberry peach tea. The food is made fresh to order so while there was a little wait for it, it was worth it. The spicy pork has a little kick but we're also used to more intensity so this was a nice spice. The pork and cabbage was incredibly juice - you've been warned. And the tea was a refreshing drink to enjoy. The restaurant has open seating, with what seemed like enough tablea and is very clean. Would recommend stopping in. read more

Overall: One of my first Asian food places since moving from Cali, and I was not disappointed :') We got the half and half (pork and chive & beef curry and onion). The pork and chive was solid; the beef curry and onion -- genius and so flavorful and delicious. On top of that, the peanut butter dumplings actually made me shed a tear of happiness. This is only so dramatic because I really missed having a good dumpling spot. I will be back and I got an order of the peanut butter dumplings to go. Service: Pretty quick and efficient! Order up front and they bring it out to you. We did order boba too but the drinks did take a lot longer to come out than the food. Ambiance: Small, cute, and homey (it's a literal little house)! Super cute and I like the little walls + I liked that they showed the dumplings being made fresh. read more

Overall, I enjoyed Dumpling House. The outdoor seating area is super cute, with pretty lights on the ceiling. I tried their veggie dumplings pan fried and the spicy tofu appetizer. The veggie dumplings were good, but would have liked them to also have had tofu inside to be more filling. In hindsight, I would have picked steamed dumplings since the pan fried was very oily (they cover the dumplings in a thin batter so it has a crunchy skirt surrounding each dumpling). I didn't really care for the tofu appetizer. It was just silken tofu with their chili oil on top. A little pricey for what we got too. My friend tried the curry chicken and pork dumplings and enjoyed those, they were steamed and much less oily. It was self service with disposable cutlery. I do wish they provided water, we had to pay $1 for a bottle. There is paid street parking nearby, about $2 per hour. read more

For my first visit. I ordered the vegetable dumplings (steamed), which came in an order of 12. The dumplings were tasty and cooked well. They were on the smaller side and weren't super filling, so in hindsight I may have ordered an appetizer or side. The inside of the restaurant is simple yet modern. We went during an off hour, so there were plenty of open tables. The service was fast and friendly. I would certainly go back to explore more of the menu. read more

Highly recommended pizza dumplings! So delicious and fun to eat. I didn't think that mayo would go well with dumplings but it did. My husband and I enjoyed the steamed dumplings as well. We ordered curry pork, pork & chives, spicy pork and pork with cabbage. They all were delicious but I will definitely order the spicy pork, pork& chives, and pizza dumplings again next time. Bubble tea with cheese foam was pretty good. Over all experience and service were great. The lady that helped us at the register gave a good recommendation. We will be back for sure. read more

Really great dumpling joint. Good variety, though the subtlety of the flavors in the dumplings get a bit lost in presentation (if that makes sense), as well as the accompaniments. Inside is a bit spartan; some decoration and reflective of the task at hand, but not the focused lack of aesthetic that other 'sanitized to the point of "stark"' popular dumpling domiciles I've been. Contrast this with the patio and the sunroom that can't be accessed from the main dining room, and it's an interesting setup. So the food, as the question begs: The novel rift that got crossed, for me, was that the fried dumplings came scraped off the flattop with the batter tying them all together. Meaty but loose inside, crispy crunchy base, and chewy dumpling outers put the texture contrast at the forefront. The sauce for the pizza dumplings was a bit overpowering, but still remarkably good. The peanut butter dumplings were sensational. I don't know if it's bastardized Thai, but don't skip on these, no matter your aversion to peanuts (save that if anaphylaxis and death, but they've got meds for that now, right?). Don't get me wrong here, I found the meal exceptional. Some fine tuning would have found my socks rolling up and down. Single best thing I had: the Asian pickled cucumbers. Savory, slightly sweet, umami abound; a delicate crunch of the cucumbers- I'm not sure if they're all that healthy, but I didn't care. Let me make a point here: I swear allegiance to meat. Meat is where cooking occurs- art and science all in one. Baking? Science and protocol. Cold dishes (salads)? Merely slicing and serving. The application of heat to protein (and this probably applies to the starch realm of dumplings) is where the epicureans get separated from the mailed meal kit mavens takes place. You cook meat well, and we're bigger friends that you probably bargained for. That detour aside, when I say the best thing I had had nothing to do with muscle or sinew, that's a BFD to me. Oh, and order more than remotely necessary. They make for fantastic leftovers, hot or cold. The purveyors know this all too well, as to go boxes are made readily available, self-serve. read more

I recently moved to Nashville and have been looking for authentic, gourmet Asian food spots to check out. Dumpling house has definitely taken a top spot on this list. The dumplings were fresh, warm, and comforting. My friend and I shared the peanut butter pork dumplings, the chive and pork dumplings and the curry beef dumplings. The curry beef and peanut butter pork were definitely the stars. The flavors were immaculate. They're made in house, fresh when you order and you can even see the man preparing them when you order. This spot is so homey (it's literally a house) and feels intimate. The boba drinks were so yummy as well. I got the strawberry cake boba and initially forgot to order with boba, but the waiting staff was so patient and kind and changed the order for me. Also, they take commodore cash so if you're a Vandy student definitely come to check this place out!!! Highlyyyy recommend and will definitely be back. read more

I happened upon this place when exploring Nashville. It's in a cute little shopping area nearby Vanderbilt, however parking was not easy at all. Pretty much everything in the surrounding area was paid. We did happen to find a parking garage that was free for the first hour, so we parked and the timer started. We entered the restaurant, perused the menu and ordered. The prices were fair for the food, however they offered no drinks. They offered either $1 bottled water or you had to pay for a water cup. That's right...they offered "free water and ice" but provided no cup, you had to pay $1 for the cup TO GET the free water and ice. Additionally, it is a complete self-service restaurant- the only thing they do is bring you the food. You must pick up your utensils/napkins/etc and you also have to clean up after yourself before you leave. So the audacity to ask for a tip when paying was absurd to me. We ordered around 11:50AM. Granted, the restaurant was busy, but it took until 12:32 before we received our food. However, what really grinned my gears was what I witnessed while waiting for my food. Somebody (I'm assuming a family member or friend), emerged from the back while chatting up the employees. They proceeded to talk for a bit and then she came out into the dining area and sat down. She looked at a menu and then ordered. She ordered around 12:15. I think it was MAYBE 5-10 minutes later they brought out multiple dishes she had ordered. Meanwhile, the rest of the dining area (my friend and I, another couple, and a family of about 6 who had also ordered first), was still waiting on all of our food. Okay, I get giving people you know personally preference, but when you have an entire dining room of guests who ordered nearly 30-40 minutes before them literally WATCH you serve them preference, no, then that's not right. And did I mention we were on an hour timer for the parking? We basically had to swallow our food and literally run to our car to make it before we got charged. There was no reason 24 steamed dumplings should have taken nearly an hour to receive. And the final slap in the face was cleaning up after ourselves after being asked for a tip and then having to rush out because they took so long to serve. This was such an awful experience and I cannot recommend this place to anyone. read more

OK, let's start off. The food is delicious. They hand make all of their dumplings right in front so people can see and it is worth every penny. It is in a cute little old house that has enough seating on the inside as well as some great outdoor seating. The vibe is very chill. They have to go options as well. Well, worth the money. This is a great little date night place for something casual and fun! read more

We had a great experience at The Dumpling House--clean space, friendly service, and food that came out fast. I ordered the half-and-half fried dumplings (chicken/mushroom and pork), which were flavorful and surprisingly filling, and my wife had the veggie dumplings and enjoyed hers too. Good value for the price, and I can easily see this becoming a regular pre- or post-Belcourt movie stop. read more

I've tried a bunch of different dumplings. All of the meat ones are delicious. I get them pan fried with a side of cucumbers. If you get them to go, they give you sauce. Otherwise you have to mix your own with soy sauce, vinegar and a dash of chili oil. You can't go wrong with any of their fruit teas either. I like getting Lychee Dragon Fruit with pineapple nata jelly. The drinks are on the sweet side for me so I get it 75% sweet. There is plenty of seating inside and two covered sides of the patio with additional seating. It's nice to have protection from the elements now. read more

Dumpling House has been on my list for so long! Im glad I finally was able to make it out here. We got four different types of dumplings- two steamed and two fried. I prefer the steamed ones, where my boyfriend prefers the fried ones. The fried dumplings come all connected with fried dough goodness. The flavors were strong. I liked the curry chicken dumpling the most. Its unique flavor and combination blew me away. My next favorite was the spicy pork. With such fun flavors and affordable prices, dumpling house is great for a quick and yummy meal. I was full after about 8 dumplings (typically 12 in an order). read more

I came on a Saturday night. It was very busy. The line was long. There weren't any tables. Our friends got there first so they already had a table. We sat in the extended room and it was freezing in there. Our food took an hour too. A bit frustrating. I got the lychee mint drink. I was so excited cus I thought the drinks were soda and lemonade mixed together like how they do it in Asia but it's not. It's either or. But the girl said they could do both for me. It didn't taste like lemonade, just soda. There also wasn't much of a mint flavor present. It was fine tho. We got the peanut butter dumplings, pork wonton soup, pan fried spicy pork, pan fried curry chicken, and pan fried pork and shrimp. My favorite was the peanut butter dumplings. It sounds weird and I thought the peanut butter taste would be too overwhelming and thick but it was actually really tasty. Aside from the hour wait, I have no complaints. read more

I finally got to try the dumpling house. It's been on my list! First of all, it's adorable, and there is plenty of outdoor seating. There was a wait for a table available, and when we got seated, the table wasn't very clean. I had the tiramisu boba, which was delicious and not too sweet, and I loved that the boba wasn't overcooked. The food was flavor my friends, and I shared and ordered different once. We had a chicken curry, spicy pork and veggie dumplings. All of the dumplings are flavorful really good. The soup dumpling was nice flavor broth. There are plenty of fillings and nice sizes. I my only complaint was its in a high price. Be mindful when you order and the pre filled tip amount can add up. Also there was no option to change the tip amount or customize it. My only complaint was that the table was dirty. I'm glad I tried it! read more

The cutest little restaurant you could possibly come across. I came here for a vacation because the Airbnb I was staying at was literally walking distance from the restaurant and we just went last minute because we were about to leave to go back home but let me tell you we got some Boba from here and it was so good. We waited till we got in the car to eat the dumplings but we had got I think point dumplings and veggie dumplings and let me tell you they did not disappoint either even though we waited a while to eat them, but I love them definitely check this place out the service and everything was amazing. Everybody was very nice. I will definitely be coming back here whenever I come visit read more

Visited Dec 10, 2023. I first heard of this place on Insta! Was so excited to see there's a restaurant specifically for dumplings wherefore they should serve some amazing dumplings! Sad to say they fell short on the dumplings. I surely will come back for their redemption but until then, the following are some critiques. Pros: decent amount of seating, legible menu with photos, great customer service, price for quantity, lovely homey atmosphere. Pan-fried curry beef buns were my favorite - no complaints, very tasty! Cons: my BIGGEST complaint - the soup dumplings (xiaolongbao) had no soup, the dough thick/was under steamed making it chewy (photos attached), silverware was not knowingly self grab under the counter. I already paid for the chicken n mushroom but they were out and unfortunately the next item I ordered was cheaper but they didn't refund my difference. Tap water isn't provided so you must purchase bottled water. The price for quality fell short and the exterior was a mess. Flavors for the most part is light unless choosing the curry option. I'ld say if it's your first time and you can handle some spice, dip the dumplings with sauce mixture ( soy sauce + chili oil + dash of vinegar). Parking is parallel or can be found a block away in provided lots. Must scan QR code for parking fees. read more

My first time here with my sister. We ordered the Pork Soup Dumplings, Curry Chicken Dumplings, Veggie Dumplings, and Pan-Fried Curry Beef Dumplings. I was a bit disappointed with the Pork Soup Dumplings because there weren't any soup inside and the wraps were a bit thick....just a little. My favorite would be the Pan-Fried Curry Beef Dumplings and the Curry Chicken Dumplings. Very flavorful and super delicious. It got a little kick to it. I would definitely go back and try their other dishes and grab a boba next time! read more

Dumpling House is the perfect addition to Hillsboro Village. Their dumplings are legit, and this is coming from a second generation Chinese-American immigrant whose mother makes some delectable homemamde jiaozi and baozi. These are slightly small in my opinion, but the flavors are on point and the chew of the dumpling skin is perfection. These will cost you a pretty penny if you eat as many dumplings as I do, but if you have a craving, it's worth it. Plus, they also serve up some impressive boba teas and soups on the side. I personally love their pork and chive dumplings, but you can't go wrong with ordering. Their curry beef and onion reminds me of a curry dumpling from a chain I used to get habitually in Taiwan and HK. Honestly, you can't go wrong in any of your orders. There's mostly street parking here, so time your visit accordingly. If you don't mind a slight walk, you can always find a free spot near the park a few blocks away. read more

highly recommend the pork and chive i reviewed them before and think i gave a good review but i wasn't obsessed with them before. the pork and chive dumpling were so good this time i loved them so much!! if you thought they were just okay the first two times maybe third time is charm for them to become delicious. i think best dumplings in nashville i've had at least (although very few places to choose from) the wonton soup was also super good read more

So good! I came here yesterday and my wife and I came back today! Highly recommend the peanut butter pork dumplings. The sauce is so amazing I ended up dipping all of my other dumplings in it. Rest of the order was the pan fried pork & chive dumplings. Also incredible. As for drinks - there are a lot of them. I ordered a Watermelon Code the first day. It's good, but I didn't think it was worth $6. It does taste fresh and refreshing though. The giant hunk of watermelon took up most of the cup so I ran out fast. Another weird thing is their cup lids, I found them about as fun as paper straws. Second day I got a lychee mint lemonade. I'd go with that (or any of the lemonades/sodas - they make all of them with all of the flavors listed) over the watermelon code. Water is only available in a bottle for $1. Not a bad price, but I prefer dirty sink water with ice. I'll be back and will work my way through all of the dumplings (and most of the drinks). Nashville sorely needed a place that made this high quality of dumplings!! read more

Dumpling House - Peanut butter pork dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We stopped in here after a movie at the Belcourt because we love dumplings. The staff was super nice and welcoming. We ordered the peanut butter pork dumplings, the curry chicken dumplings (pan fried) and the pork and cabbage dumplings (pan fried). Everything was really tasty!!! The peanut butter pork dumplings were my absolute favorite though. I can't wait to have them again. I'm taking a star off because of two things. The drinks they had were really expensive and there was no tap water available, just bottled water for sale. The second reason is because you can do split orders of dumplings but no one told us before we ordered. I wished we had known so we could have tried some more things. Seating and decor was all nice! They had each table stocked with all you needed to make your perfect dipping sauce. I want to bottle the peanut butter sauce and take it home with me. read more
