    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!

    My son and I loved it! Having the option to make dumplings your main entrée is a dream. I went for the chicken curry dumplings, and my son went for the traditional minced pork. I thought his were more delicious than mine. Only thing I would change was to get them pan seared next time I was ordering in a hurry and didn't have a chance to look and see that that was an option. I love that they are made to order! We will definitely be back. Pricing was reasonable as well.

    Made our way to this little restaurant made from a house in a residential neighborhood. Very simple inside, appears to have plenty of tables and seating. You clean up after yourself before heading out. When you walk in you'll head to the front and place your order and be given a placard to take to your table. The drinks are one size only and kind of pricey. Lots of ice of them too so it really doesn't feel like you get much. Water is sold in bottles for $1. We wanted to try some of each and selected the stuffing we know we would like: pork and shrimp, pork and chive and pork and cabbage. We also had each style: steamed, boiled and pan fried. All three were very good but I think we could skip the pan fried next time--they weren't as fried as we would like and closely resembled the steamed. You can watch them make hand make the dumplings there at the counter and they are definitely delicious and stuffed. Overall we would return to eat dumplings. $1.33/dumpling is not bad given the love and hard work put into each one.

    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!!

    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!

    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.

    If you know, you will get the pan fried dumplings- I have never in my ever seen lace this developed and crispy! So beyond delicious! We burned our mouths so bad but do not care one little bit! Cute ambiance and friendly service but that isn't what you come here for!!! AMAZING PAN FRIED DUMPLINGS!!!

    The pork and chive dumplings were so good--perfectly pan fried. I had them with a side of rice and hot and sour soup. The soup was a miss though, way too much pepper, it basically tasted like pepper soup. I'd skip that next time but would definitely come back to try more dumpling flavors. Boba tea was good too.

    Hot and sour soup
    Brenda A.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Tofu appetizer
    Samveda R.

    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.

    This is their bubble milk tea with brown sugar boba pearls!

We wanted…read morenoodles, and figured this was going to be just another noodle bar but to our surprise, it was an authentic Chinese restaurant. Nobody was inside, it was just the two of us.

She was so happy to have found a place that…read moreserved Chong Qing Broth and Sliced Noodles which she missed from her undergraduate years in Hawaii. It was an interesting restaurant as we walked in. The decor didn't come across as Chinese. I'm glad my daughter was familiar with the place because I would not have known to go to the back counter to order. I tried asking a couple things about the menu but could not understand the worker that well. It seemed that he couldn't understand me either because he initially put in the wrong orders -- my daughter caught it before we paid. Very reasonable prices. I ordered the Roast Duck Noodles with the Marinated Egg added. My daughter got her usual "Build a Bowl" of Chong Qing Broth, Sliced Noodles, Steak and Fried Egg. I thought I had ordered a Shrimp Wonton appetizer, but a bowl of soup arrived. After asking the worker about it, he just kept saying it was soup (I know), so I just left that alone. Overall quite delicious -- very authentic Chinese flavors. Excellent house made noodles. The depth of flavor in the broths was fantastic. The proteins were seasoned nicely and cooked well. The bok choy in my soup still had a nice bite. The fried egg was crispy on the edges and perfectly runny in the middle. Unfortunately, I found the marinated egg too salty. Service was minimal -- after ordering, the food comes out and that's it. If you need something, you have to get up to ask. No one checks in. The area wasn't busy when we arrived, so parking was very easy right in front. I'm told it does get tough during peak times. I would definitely return for the food, not the service.

Their combo prices are incredibly fair (around $20), and each one comes loaded with fresh veggies, ramen noodles, and fish balls. The sauce bar is next level too, with fresh cilantro and green onion, sesame sauce, and chili oil, all ready to be mixed to your taste.

I'd definitely recommend dining in - we went in on a rainy Thursday around 6 and it was already packed, but a table for two opened within about five minutes. Service is great and food hits the table quickly. We started with the fresh rolls, chicken and cabbage dumplings, and the tom kha. We added a side of peanut sauce, which was a game changer for the fresh rolls. The tom kha was a little tart for my taste, but was loaded with veggies that were cooked perfectly. The dumplings were super tender, and the fresh rolls are my favorite in town! For entrees, we got the pad thai and pad see-ew with rice noodles. Both absolutely delish, and we loved how the pad see-ew was prepared simply and traditionally with Chinese broccoli. Those portions are not to be reckoned with... we ended up taking two boxes full of noodles home! Their sticky rice with mango was our favorite bite of the night.

I ordered their tom kha soup as an appetizer. The broth was good, but the vegetables in it were not cooked at all. It felt like eating a crunchy salad in your soup. Only a minute after ordering the soup we were asked to go ahead and order our main dishes. My pad thai was good, but there was nothing particularly special about it. I had just started eating my food when the server asked us if we wanted to-go boxes and how we were splitting the check. I looked at my phone, and it had only been 30 minutes since we had sat down that we were handed the check. I would have tried their dessert if I hadn't felt rushed out the door. Also, the restaurant wasn't busy/didn't have a wait on tables, so I'm not sure why they rushed us out.
