When you're in Boston Chinatown, this is the place to go and grab your box of 10 dumplings. Personally I love pork and mushroom and I like pan fried (rather than boiled). You get the crispy edge and you can just pop them in your mouth. I love that it comes with a little dipping sauce in a small container. This place is fast, very reasonably priced for the amount you get, and flavorful. The dumplings are jumbo size. You really can't beat that. read more

Dumpling King - The perfect lunch box - Dim Sum Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Solid, reliable spot to get dumplings at a good price. I usually get the pork and vegetable or pork and chive and honestly both the boiled and pan fried preparations are good. Price is reasonable and the food itself isn't anything particularly special but it's consistent and the portion is good for the price. Ordering is very fast and the wait isn't too bad considering how much volume they must do. You can also buy frozen dumplings to take home, it seems they get the dumplings from a local supplier. Definitely one of my favorite quick places to grab food whenever I'm in Chinatown. There's basically no seating so I usually end up finding a bench or ledge outside to sit on and eat. read more

One of the more popular stalls in the Boston Chinatown food court. Dumpling King has a variety of meat and vegetable dumplings with both pan-fried and boiled options. They are definitely smaller than your typical dumplings, but the flavor, juiciness, and amount of protein inside is still just as much. Pairs perfectly with their tangy soy sauce. They have a lunch combo that you can get with soup and a drink if that's up your alley as well. They also have a lot of frozen dumplings for a decent price if you want to take them home! They've graciously catered for a lot of events at my school and we are grateful for them for having great catering portions. Great bang for your buck in Chinatown and would recommend for a quick and casual lunch. Also of note it's a bit cramped in the food court so better for takeout in my opinion. read more

This place sells cheap dumplings and they tastes so good! I don't think these are home made as you can see some of the packaging in their freezer (they sell frozen dumplings, too) and I recognize them from asian markets. However, they do offer the service of selling you these freshly pan fried dumplings and its pretty cheap, but good! I can't recall exactly but it was around $7 - $10 for 8 or 10 dumplings. They have a few varieties to choose from. It does take about 15 minutes or so for them to crank them out. They do get busy and cook in batches I guess. On busy weekends, space is tight. Don't even think of finding a spot to dine in, as even finding space to stand and wait for your dumplings is a challenge. Overall, I'm glad this place exists. It tastes much better than the pan fried dumplings in that ally (fairy cafe, was it?) that is popular on social media. I'm looking forward to my next visit! read more

Depending on when you go, expect a line. 10 dumpling are $7 currently and well worth it. I had the pork and chive pan fried dumplings which were so juicy and flavorful. The dumplings are cooked to order so they come out hot. I'm pretty sure they just use their frozen pre made dumplings (that you can purchase) so keep that in mind if you wanted something super fresh. If this is the case though, there is no flavor lost and they are still extremely delicious. Need to come back to try the steamed/boiled option read more

Genuinely my favorite cheap eats in Chinatown. They do have a lunch rush, so beware, but they get through orders quickly and efficiently. There is also a freezer where you can buy bags of their frozen dumplings. In the plaza is also a tea shops with lots of options, as well as 2 places you can get dessert. read more

Dumpling King - Pan Fried Veggie Dumpling - Dim Sum Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I had the pork dumplings to go. Honestly, for the price, it's pretty good. I do wish there were more aromatics in the filling to elevate the dish. The inside was juicy and the outside was crispy from the frying. Overall a solid experience, for a quick bite would go again. 7.5 read more

The dumplings were good. This is a popular spot because a lot of people were on line and even more waiting . It's inside a small "food court" area but really nowhere to sit. We waited a bit for our food alongside everyone else. There isn't much room to stand because of the 3 restaurants that all shared the same space. Keep in mind, there is nowhere to sit. But the food is worth the wait , especially for the price. read more

My coworkers and I stopped by Dumpling King during lunch since we have been wanting to try! I got the pan fried pork and leek dumplings, which were so juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. There was a bit of a wait, but it was worth it as they were making each order. The dumplings were such a good deal and quite filling. Can't complain about anything, it was a perfect lunch! read more

Dumpling King - Pan Fried Pork and Leek Dumpling - Dim Sum Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I think they definitely deserve their name - they are really the dumpling king! We ordered the pork and leek pan fried dumplings and they are one of the best we've had! For 10 pieces, it was $7.50 with tax and because we were doing a little Chinatown food crawl, this was enough for two people to share. This place is in a little food court that has other things you can try. Seating for this stall was just two seats but everyone eats quickly so when your made to order dumplings are done, it becomes your turn to sit. It takes about 10 minutes for your dumplings to be ready and it comes out piping hot, with every bite bursting with juice and flavor. So yummy! This was one of my top foods from my trip to Boston! read more

Dumpling King - Pan Fried Pork and Leek Dumpling - Dim Sum Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Dumpling King lives up to their name! I ordered the pan fried pork and leek dumplings. Ten for $7 which is an incredible price! It's a small takeout restaurant located in a tiny food court. One girl taking orders with two men cooking and prepping the steamed or pan fried dumplings. There was a line of people waiting for their orders. My order was ready in around 10-15 minutes and they were delicious. The skins were a good thickness with a nice chew and were pan fried to a satisfying crispness. The generous pork filling was tender and juicy. Definitely one of the best pan fried dumplings I've had and for sure the cheapest! read more

Dumpling is the biggest positive dining surprise we have had in decades. Tucked into a minuscule Chinatown "food court," you will find 3 tiny-house restaurants and a tea shop. It was a little hard to find and once there, we actually hesitated and would have gone if it wasn't for the long list of positive reviews, line of people ordering, and high rating. The menu is streamlined and straightforward. Get your steamed or pan fried dumplings with a limited selection from which to choose. We stayed and ate in the tight quarters, but everyone else was taking theirs to go. When our order came, I opened the container to see VERY simple dumplings. I didn't anticipate much but these pork dumplings were some of the best I have ever had and my favorite ice agreed. Have had more than our share of dumplings over the past decades!! Seriously great dumplings. Who cares about fancy crimping when the dumplings taste so fabulous and at an amazing price. If you can't find it right away, keep looking. Don't judge it by its cover, it's gonna be great. read more

Delicious, made to order potstickers and dumplings in a itty-bitty food court. 10 dumplings for $7 in this economy? Sign me up. Wish they had more legit customer seating, as their only seats are around a foldable table in front of where you order. Not really a feasible seating area, but the dumplings do travel just fine. Didn't love the veggie dumplings, but the chicken and pork with leek dumplings were wonderful. The gentleman / owner of the shop is super friendly and his chef in the back gets the job done! Frozen dumplings are also available for purchase. Overall, a yummy cheap eat to enjoy during a Boston Chinatown food crawl! Highly recommend! read more

Great flavor. Nice variety to choose from. Authentic takeout (street food) Asian. Cost friendly and abundant.

I got the pork and leek as well as the pork and mushroom dumplings to go. The space is inside other little shops so just walk through. There isn't too many spaces to sit so I ended up taking it to go. I tried both the stir fried and boiled version. The size of the dumplings are generous and honestly it's scrumptious. For the price and portion and flavor, it's really running for its buck! A cheap yet great meal if you are ever in Chinatown. You can also buy the frozen dumplings in case you didn't have enough of it! I love the dipping sauce they have as well. I will recommend the stir fry for a bit more crunchy texture of the dumplings if it's your first time. read more

This place truly brought me back to life. Needed some steamed pork dumplings and this place hit the spot. It was the most popular spot in the tiny food hall by far. No combo available when I went and they do accept cards. Very nice and fast read more

I don't get the 5 star reviews honestly. These are really thick skin dumplings. You get 10 for 7$. The dipping sauce is a little container of soy sauce. Maybe there's some black vinegar in there but not much. They sell the same frozen dumplings at the Chinese market down the street. Ambiance is ...run down food court and where are the trash cans?? Service is fine. read more

Every year I have a firm meeting in Boston in December, and I spend an extra day in town. I usually pop over to Gene's flatbread Café for a late breakfast, but they don't open until 11, so this year I tried dumpling king, which opens at 10. Very glad I did! Super tasty dumplings served piping hot - be careful!. I have the pork and leek, fried. It's a relative steal at 10 pieces for seven bucks. It's a very simple food court of sorts - four little business jammed into a tiny space. There is no seating for dumpling king, but the other businesses have some countertop seating, and I think it's OK to sit there as long as those businesses are not open. Pop over to Ho Yuen Bakery before or after for a tasty beef curry bun. read more

Went on 3pm on a Friday, fairly busy in a food court style room. 1 person working the Fryer. About a 30 minute wait. Limited indoor seating so went outside to eat. Food was very hot/fresh. Good portion for $7! Amazing value. Good quality and good taste. read more

Dumpling king is located in the food court. I absolutely love the veggie pan fried dumplings here. They are so good! You can also get frozen dumplings from them. It does get pretty busy in there, especially at regular dining hours, so make sure you go with plenty of time to spare. It is a little crowded and there is not really any place to sit, but the takeout is worth it! read more

The best soup dumplings! We loved the pork and mushroom pan fried. So juicy and delicious! The price is very reasonable too.

They do one thing and one thing excellent. This is a place you must go to. I went with the pork and chive dumplings, in my opinion, the best on the menu. If you're so inclined, you can buy frozen ones and bring them home. The portions are substantial and very inexpensive. read more

Delicious! The pork and leek dumplings are elite! I recommend calling ahead and picking up when you get there because it's in a slightly cramped space. read more

Solid Dumpling spot. The Pork & Leek Pan Fried Dumplings were savory, juicy, and nicely crisped on the bottom. I thought the skin was a little thick though. Establishment was also very crowded and stuffy during lunchtime, leading to long wait times--greater than 30 mins read more

Oh man, these dumplings were delicious. Probably the best I've ever had, and at a great price. We originally intended to eat somewhere else but they were closed for 4th of July. We ended up going a few shops down to Dumpling King. The sign is on the window, but it's really in a "food hall" right next to it. It is a very tight space and slightly chaotic, but well worth it. read more

42 Beach Street in Food Court. Service - good. I ordered the steamed pork dumplings. Yum, yum, yum! Worth a trip to Chinatown just for these. Frozen dumpling bags (large) made locally available for purchase. $5.00 each. Guesstimate each bag holds 25 dumplings. read more

Solid place to satisfy your dumpling cravings. They offer a variety of dumplings that they prepare either boiled or pan fried. It was crowded when we arrived so be prepared to wait a bit and seating is scarce. Order to the right of the sign and don't be intimidated by the crowd. It is worth it for fresh hot dumplings on a chilly Boston day. They were yummy and hit the spot! The two men running the eatery were working hard the whole time so be patient and be sure to listen for your number! read more

It was BUSY when we were here and we know why. The wait was 100% worth it, these were the best dumplings I've ever had. The men in the kitchen were working so hard and doing an amazing job.

costumer service is horrible , the only good thing about this food place is that the dumplings are a cheap price for a good portion , the lady at the front is so disrespectful , she yells at you , they never answer the phone and the 2 men in the back are slow when it comes to cooking the dumplings read more

You need to be prepared- this is a small food stall in a small food court. Very small. The lines are long and it can be confusing to navigate which line you want to be in. The dumplings come in styrofoam boxes. They are cooked to order from frozen. There is no sit down table service. People tend to say $7 bucks for 10 dumplings is the reason they recommend this place. The dumplings are very good and the price is great but no matter what you see on TikTok this is basically a street eats kinda place. Worth a 20 minute wait but not good enough for the 90 minutes it took from the time we got in line until the time we got our styrofoam containers and took off to try to find someplace to actually eat them. read more

Dumpling King is this small great whole in the wall in Chinatown. This establishment offers the best dumplings in Boston at an incredibly reasonable price. Last time I checked it was 8 to 10 dumplings for under $10. The people managing this establishment are extremely friendly and efficient. The only thing that I don't like about Dumpling King is that is only open until 6 pm every day. (Would love if they would extend their hours until at least 8pm) read more

You come here to buy dumplings because you get more for your buck, compared to other places in Chinatown Boston that are charging more for less dumplings. The line is usually long, so be prepared to wait at least 15-20mins for your order. Not only are the dumplings really good, the customer service has always been pretty decent as well. I won't come any other place for dumplings in Chinatown Boston than here at Dumpling King. read more
