Dumpling Restaurant keeps getting better with good quality handmade authentic dumplings made in the Northeastern Chinese style. Service was prompt. Food arrived quickly. Ambiance was calm. Restaurant was clean. In less than 30 minutes the orders were placed, the food was made, it arrived at the table still steaming hot, the dishes were so good and the bill was paid. Outstanding experience. #6 - Pork & celery steamed dumpling. I'd recommended it if you like salted celery flavours. #2 - Pork, shrimp, chive & egg dumpling. The chive, shrimp combo works well together. #40 - Beef fried noodles. Great flavourful taste! #28 - Fried Green Onion Pancakes x 2 read more

We bought takeout on this occasion. The dumplings were piping hot! I admittedly did slightly burn myself eating it in the car (I was just a passenger.) We only ate a few of the dishes fresh, so I will review those only. (The rest were taken home and put in the fridge, compromising taste and quality for a true, honest review.) Overall, I felt all the food we tried could have used a bit more flavour. Maybe they don't use msg(?), but a bit more salt or soy sauce might help the muted flavours. We got 5 dishes and paid under $60. Not bad value wise. Pork and Mushroom dumplings Tofu and preserved duck egg Fried rice with kimchi and pork Pork neck bone soup Wonton noodle with pork Tofu and preserved egg: 2/5 Medium firm tofu was used, not terrible but definitely didn't feel luxurious as silken tofu. 1/2 of the egg was also heavy on sulfur/ammonia taste, and I couldn't finish it even though I typically love preserved duck egg. Also not much flavour, they added a bit of what looked like green onion and soy sauce. That was tasty if you tip the box to dip the run off, though there wasn't much. Fried rice with kimchi and pork: 3.75/5 Not really a Korean Kimchi Fried rice, more like Chinese fried rice with some spicy sauce, I guess thats why it was named that way. Also kind of bland aside from the slight spiciness. Still not a bad fried rice. Pork and Mushroom Dumplings: 4/5 Really piping hot, even in the cold car, it was steaming. There was some juice that I wasn't expecting, since it wasn't XLB. I wish there was a bit more flavour in the meat, it was a bit better with the chili oil. read more

Was craving dumplings so tried this place out! Price $15-$25 per person Items ordered: - Pan fried lamb dumplings -Soup Dumplings -Shrimp Kimchi Fried Rice -Green Onion Pancake -Korean Spare Ribs -Pork egg and chives dumplings -Pork and pickled -Beef Pancake Roll -Lamb skewers Food Quality (Menu, Taste, Portion size) - 5/5 We were surprised that this place was recommended for their Korean and "on the wok" items, but both were great. Not as much dumpling options as I imagined but the menu is hugeee. The price you pay for what you get is such a steal. The size of the dumplings were great and every item was juicy and flavorful. Everything was well cooked. Our favourite was the korean spare ribs, the meat fell off the bone so easily. I miss all the food already. Atmosphere - 4/5 Classic Chinese restaurant vibe that felt very homey. A lot of seating options and great for both families or smaller groups. The parking is a bit of a mess because it's a small lot so you might need to park at one of the nearby plazas. Service - 4/5 The staff was nice and helpful. There wasn't a lot of staff working at the time, so could see it being a little slow when it's more crowded. Will I go again? 10000% Really want to try the "on the wok" items.

Dumpling Restaurant - Korean Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

Was very happy with the options here. In this restaurant dense are of the GTA there are 100s of Chinese food options to pick from, is the fact this one stands out says a lot. We had steamed Chicken and classic pork xiao long bao...the meat used was a little lean so the table offered black vinegar was needed for flavour, but the skins had wonderful chew, a sign of homemade dough, hand wrapped. The surprise favourite at our table were the pan fried egg and zucchini! Great texture, zucchini were not mushy, garlic in filling was spot on. Prices ranged from 8.99 - 11.99 per order.. With avg order having 14 pieces. We tried their spicy fried fish which had very little chilli if any but were super delicious, crisp and light . Beef and broccoli was solid..liddo approved and the green onion pancake was rolled thick to be extra chewy ...little pricey at 4.95 a piece..but good onion flavour nonetheless. Will come back to try more of the menu for sure! read more

It's been a minute. Actually, several years. This was my grandma's favourite restaurant. After she passed, we rarely came back. Then the pandemic hit. Even more reason for the extended hiatus. Located in a truly sus strip mall with one too many "massage" spas, you'll find an authentically, homemade dumpling house. The restaurant is actually called Dumpling House. What a coincidence! Upon entry we noticed the interior has been through some renovations. Much needed and well deserved. I'm impressed they didn't close down like other restaurants over the years. Sure, prices have gone up but where have they not? The menu consists of over 100 items with a long list of various dumplings you can order steamed or, for an extra fee, pan-fried. There's over a page of wok fried specialties too. Of course we can't forget traditional Korean dishes as this is a Chinese and Korean establishment. After sampling potato slaw, onion pancakes, chive pockets, pot stickers, xlb, and a steamer of dumplings, it's safe to say this was a nostalgic meal. In terms of value, most definitely better than downtown prices and quality. This will be a regular on our Scarborough rotation. Don't expect 5 star fine dining. Do expect homestyle traditional northern Chinese food. read more

Hidden gem in Scarborough, family owned restaurant. This place has delicious and tasty food for a local restaurant. I don't remember getting all that fod for a reasonable price, especially in 2023. I really enjoy the dumplings and variety of food we ordered. I have never had a bad dish. Everything is carefully prepared and serves hot. I recommend it to anyone who wants good home cooking. read more

*I am a Xiao Long Bao (XLB) enthusiast. I only tried their XLB (Pork) , thus my review is quite limited. Also, the order was for "take out" and XLB is not their signature dish. I had their XLB about a year ago, and was quite impressed by the thin skin and generous clear/elegant broth. It was a pleasant surprise to me, as I thought this place is more Korean food focused restaurant. So I visited here again for the XLB - but this time was a bit disappointing. The wrappers were thicker/chewier, and 5 pieces out of 6 had little soup inside. Only one had satisfiable soup in it. The broth was good, but felt stronger than a year ago. May be I had a bad luck? Hope to see better ones next time I visit. read more

Wanted to try something new and saw some good reviews about this place. We ordered cabbage and pork dumplings and cold noodles for take out. The noodles is good and highly recommended. As for the dumplings, maybe because it does takes us sometime to get back home and it's not as hot and a bit dry. Was hoping for a juicy one. Maybe it's a lot better dining in and we try it again. But we'll definitely go back for cold noodles and maybe trying other menu items as well. read more

Have you ever tasted a beef pancake? If not, allow me to let you in on the best kept secret in the scarborough markham area. A delicate crepe is lathered with a sweet secret glaze upon which thin shavings of succulent beef is decorated before the pancake is wrapped up. It was life-changing. Pure addiction, I would come here everyday if I could but then I may be bankrupt. But it would be worth it. I had lumbar pain before eating here and lets just say I finished my first marathon last week. One word, life changing. My favourite dumpling restaurant in the world, I was sent here by God on a winter night when my usual place nearby was closed down. I was cold and alone but soon I would be surrounded by a delicious aroma and kind service. I absolutley recomend this place to anyone who can make the time to come, and it is a family owned resturant I believe which is even more amazing. As if we are being let into a tight kept family tradiditon. Beautiful service, food, aroma, and turning tables. read more

Dumpling restaurant, presumably, specializes in dumplings.There are a number of other dishes on the menu, including a set of korean dishes for some reason. For the dumplings, the standard serving comes with 14 steamed pork dumplings starting as low as $5.99. Compared to other dumpling places I've been to, this is the best deal I've seen so far for cooked dumplings. They also have chicken, beef, and lamb options for a dollar or two more if you can not, or do not want to, eat pork. There are a couple fried options, which were pretty good also. If you're looking for some fried pancakes or beef rolls, I would also put in a few orders. Service is quite under-staffed. There's one person behind the counter and one person managing the floor. If you need something you should just go up and ask for it. If you need refills on tea, you will need to ask for refills otherwise they will just walk right by. We ordered a few non-dumpling dishes, but didn't find them particularly interesting. I would just go with dumpling night and get 10 plates of dumplings for a party of 6. Nothing beats sharing 140 dumplings between 6 people. read more

Dumpling Restaurant - Not a place I would pick had it not been suggested by a colleague to go as a big group. What's not to like about this place? A frigid dining room, questionable hygiene, super oily food, confusing menu and mediocre taste just to name a few reasons. Then the hygiene. The hygiene was as dodgy as an evasive dodgeball player. How do you know? The dining room looks a bit dodgy to begin with and the braised beef pancake had a couple of hairs inside. Yes they voluntarily replaced it with a new plate but ya... enough said. Taste wise it was not up to snub. The pancake was overly chewy and felt like they added cassava flour to give it that texture. The beef although had enough salt lacked flavour; same with the slightly sweet sauce that was part of it. Despite being named the Dumpling House the dumplings were as mediocre as a c+ student. The skin was thick which is ok since it's typical of the north. The filling was a bit too big for my liking. The thing was stuffed with pork and celery filling and of course celery was the dominant taste. The lamb dumpling was quite regrettable where it was quite gamy (which is ok for lamb) but lacking seasoning. We ended up with like seven left and no one really wanted to pack it home. In conjunction with the steamed dumpling, we got a serving of pan fried dumpling and they were as oily as an oiled up bodybuilder. How do you know? Just look at the deposits of oil on the plate along with a shiny, greased up, slick dumpling. Despite the oil the burnt portion was not all that crunchy. The menu is also extra confusing. Considering that it's a Chinese restaurant, it also offers pork bone soup and bi bim bop. You can be the judge whether you want to visit this place because I won't. read more

I love this place! Dumpling village is my absolute favourite place for dumplings in town! Although the service here is almost non-existent, and the place isn't really nice at all. But I can easily forgive all that for the cheap and yummy comfort food you can get here. The dumplings here are awesome! I'm always excited when my bamboo basket arrives with 14 delicious and juicy dumplings steamed to order. I've gotten all sorts of dumplings here, usually a mixture of pork and some osrt of veggie (fennel, chives, cabbage, mushrooms and zucchini, etc.) My favourite is a more standard one with pork and chives. The dumpling skin is thin, but holds up well, and the filling is absolutely delectable! Another of my favourite is their pan cake with chives and eggs: crispy, pan-fried pockets stuffed with loads of aromatic garlic chives, bits of scrambled eggs and egg noodles. The piping hot filling is addictively delicious. My family always order a batch of these and pack home the leftovers for a tasty lunch the next day. The pork pot stickers were comforting and yummy as well. The bottom is pan-fried to a beautiful golden brown and has that wonderful crunch. I particularly enjoy pairing my pot stickers with black vinegar and chili oil. I also favour their braised beef and pancake wrapped in foil: marinated slices of beef shank and spring onions rolled up with a piece of green onion pancake. The tenderness of the meat was a good complement with the crispy texture of the pancake. However, I personally prefer the beef roll at Asian Legend more, as their version is more refined. Other items that I've had here include shredded meat and cucumber with vermicelli, dressed with a peanut sauce. It was a light and refreshing dish, and the vermicelli was velvety smooth. "Silver buns", which are just simple steamed buns, are soft and well-executed. For desserts, I've tried their red bean paste cake. The dough is slightly too thick, but there is an abundance of red bean paste to make up for that short fall. Again, I would say that Asian Legend's version is tastier, but this one is quite satisfying as well. Dumpling Village never disappoints me, and I'm usually stuffed silly when I walk out of the restaurant. I agree with other Yelpers to just skip the Korean dishes and go straight for the dumplings! read more

Dumpling Village really suffering from identity crisis!! Is it a Korean Restaurant, not really. There are mostly Northern Chinese items on the menu like dumplings. Is it a Northern Chinese restaurant, not really There are a lot of Korean dishes in the menu like pork bone soup, cold wheat bucknoodle soup, kimchi and bean sprout as appetitizers. The only Korean characters are the 3 on their business sign in the front..and all the rest are in Chinese and English. All the wait staffs here speak Mandarian and even most of the patrons are Chinese. It is located in a really tiny strip mall.. with limited parkings! To tell you the truth I am in the area for over 10 years I never notice it until I read the reviews on yelp! We arrived around 6 pm on a Saturday. The restaurant was almost full. The tables are not really packed together, so you still have a certain degree of privacy at least I cannot tell what the table next to me were eating. We decided on my favourite chives and pork dumplings, kimchi fried rice and Korean cold bucknoodle soup. They are all $4.99. The cold noodle soup is so so good! Nice and refreshing! and the soup based is a little sour and it really stimulate your tastebuds and just make you want to eat more! (I can finish it all myself! I don't want to share! I want one all for myself next time!) The kimchi fried rice.. hmmmmm not good! A little on the oily side. There are not much taste, not spicy enough? We could not finish it and end up have to pack it all to go...(not even sure I will eat it, but cannot just let it all go to waste) The dumplings arrived last! But it really worth the wait! 14 big fat hot dumplings filled up the whole steamer! Yes I counted them 14 of them for $4.99. They are all freshly made, freshly steamed! The skin is nice and thin, not chewy and thick! Oh so delicious! One bite and all the soup are ozzing out! But if they are not burning hot, you can just stuff the whole thing into your mouth and let the soup and favour just explosed in your mouth. Just a warning. If you going out on a date, please don't come here. Even it is a good place for a cheap date, our bill was $18 for 2 and we were full! But the place can be noisy, the food too good and your date will be too busy eating and just ignore you! Or you will keep eating and eating and you freak all your friends out! The services here is cold but efficient. We were given extra napkins without requesting... Maybe we looked really messy?? Cash only! read more

[LOCATION] - 3/5 This place is located on Brimley Rd and Sheppard Ave E. Parking spaces were limited at the plaza. [SERVICE] - 2/5 There was a bit of a language barrier as the servers only spoke Mandarin. We had to wait for the waiter who spoke English whenever we wanted to add something to our order or if we needed napkins. [DÉCOR] - 3/5 Bigger than what it looks like on the outside, but very humid during the summer. There was no ventilation and had very little/no air conditioning. [QUALITY] - 4/5 Good quality, food tasted homemade without extra preservatives or msg. [ORDER] - 3/5 - Pork Meat with Chives Dumpling - comes with 12 dumplings. They were meaty, juicy, and skin was perfectly thin - Spring Pancake - a little too doughy and not enough onions or other fillings/toppings - Sparerib in Sweet & Sour Sauce - sweet, tangy, and crispy! Kind of like sweet and sour pork but with spareribs instead of pork - Pork Bone Soup - average. There were a LOT of bones and tasted a little too bland - Fried Dumplings - meaty & delicious! Great with a little black vinegar and soya sauce - Fresh Cold Noodle - refreshing, noodles were chewy, and great for the price! [OVERALL] - 3/5 Great dumplings and sweet & sour spareribs. Other items were average and I would not recommend them. Overall, I would recommend this place for their delicious dumplings because they are worth the value. read more

This is my go-to dumpling restaurant. Of all the other dumpling locations that I've tried, I don't think I've found a place that trumps this place. I love that the dumplings are homemade and super fresh to order. Also, the size of the dumpling is slightly on the larger size in comparison to other dumpling places that I've been to. In addition, one order of dumpling is 14 pieces, whereas other places usually serve 12 pieces. As well, I like that the dumpling skin is not too thick and is a great balance to the filling. The pork bone soup was just alright, the soup could have been more flavourful but the meat was tender and juicy so no complains on that front. This dish also comes with rice but we were pretty full from all that dumpling so we just packed the rice to-go--I guess I'll be having fried rice tomorrow. Despite how busy this restaurant was during a lunch rush, the server was attentive and able to get me refills for my tea. Overall, the meal was relatively cheap for some pretty awesome dumpling. Would I return? MOST DEFINITELY!! read more

Scarborough's hidden jewel!! I must mention that this isn't 100% korean restaurant and you'll find a difference in some dishes they prepare. To me, it rather reminded me of Chinese-Korean restaurant when I lived in China long ago. Bringing back all the nostalgic memory with quality food with the such humble service at under $8.00!?!? I was confused if I was in dream land! Pork bone soup is simply the must and Fresh Cold Noodle is surreal! Dumpling is just fantastic!! Just go, don't ask, and don't tell anyone :p read more

I am disappointed. I recently came back to my once beloved dumpling hub with a few friends. Most of us are returning customers who have had positive experiences here. Also, note that Dumpling Restaurant was at the core of my gastric adventures during university and my Yelp friends also liked the dumplings when I invited them here just a few months back. I am not sure what happened, but something seemed amiss last weekend. We ordered the bok choy dumplings, the pork and fennel dumplings, the lamb dumplings, and the pickled vegetable and meat noodle soup. With the exception of the soup, which was flavourful yet light, I was taken back by the dumplings. The dumplings felt a little different. I couldn't put my finger on it, but it seemed like there was less filling and broth inside the wrappers and the bamboo steamers they came in seemed to waft with a funky scent. Sanitization was never the restaurant's strong point, but I just couldn't let the smell slip my mind. I lost my appetite and I am too wary to return. read more

I was in the area and stopped by for a quick meal. It wasn't busy during peak dinner hours and there was only one server. Ordered: Soup noodles Kimchi fried rice Lamb dumplings (steamed) Beef pancake roll My favorites were the dumplings and the pancake roll. These were very tasty and the value was great. My least favorite was the kimchi fried rice. I didn't like the hard texture of the rice and there wasn't a lot of ingredients in it. It was mainly rice and hot sauce. Overall, a decent place if you want a cheap meal. However this place isn't very clean. The tables are sticky and there were stains on plate and spoon. read more

It seems like either Dumpling Restaurant changed ownership or they really started caring about their looks. The table tops are now draped with table cloths and with a hard plastic sheet that's shaped an inch or two too small all around. Even the menu received an upgrade from laminated sheets to an actual folder. Despite the questionable aesthetic changes, the overall flavour and pricing remains the same. For a basket of dumplings for $6-7 on average, you can't beat a classic in both flavour and value. Coming out piping hot out of the kitchen, the dumplings were scalding hot - just how I like them! If you are in the Scarborough (Agincourt) area on a budget, this restaurant might be your calling. read more

Tldr: Cash only, great value, delicious dumplings, would recommend Came here a couple times pre-renovation and post-renovation. This place offers great selection of northern Chinese dishes (with a focus on dumplings ofc), as well as some Korean fusion options. When i came here before the renovation i dreaded the sticky tables and dirty floors, but i endured it because food was worth it. I have to say, after the renovation, this place looks way cleaner and aesthetically pleasing, while maintaining the quality and consistency of their dishes. When i come here i usually order one type of steamed dumplings (pork and chives is my favourite), one type of fried dumplings, and one noodle item. You can't go wrong with the steamed dumplings here. The wrappers are thin, but strong enough to hold everything together when you pick them up. They put a good amount of delicious filling as well. In terms of the fried dumplings, the pork pot stickers take first place. They're beautifully pan fried, crispy on the outside, juicy and meaty on the inside. For noodles, i personally like the beef noodle soup. Nice beefy broth topped with vegetables (usually shanghai bok choy), and elastic/bouncy handmade noodles. The place is pretty big, so don't be afraid to bring a larger group. Service is pretty good, though i don't think they speak much English (Mainly mandarin, can understand Cantonese). Price is amazing for the amount of dumplings that you can get, and the noodle portions are good too. Cash only! Would recommend to anyone! read more

Dumpling Restaurant is a fan favorite of locals. In truth neither the food or service is exceptional, but the homeliness of a family-owned small restaurant keeps us loyal folk back for more. Not to mention competitive prices! I always order the same thing: kimchi fried rice and the pork and chive dumplings. Lemme tell you why. Pork and chive dumplings are solid. You get 14 juicy dumplings of good size. The shell is a little thick and very slightly rubbery. But you won't see me complaining, you do get 14. 14!!!! The kimchi fried rice is good. Will not blow you away but definitely worth ordering each visit. Real kimchi flavor, shreds of meat and lettuce. Hands down the best rice option on the menu. If you're accustomed to paying $10.00 for 6 dumplings, be at peace to skip out. But if you're trying to eat well while balling on a budget, EAT HERE. read more

My second visit to this restaurant in the last week. This is the only dumpling restaurant I've seen that sell chinese dumplings with Korean food. I have an assortment of Dumplings from pork, minced beef, mushroom, bok choy, vegetables, chicken, lamb. Apart from the pork, I've tried most of them. They are juicy and amazing. Their stir fried noodles was kinda bit oily. Also tried their lamb skewers on the second visit. It was a bit fatty but probably not the best but can't beat $8.99 for 8 skewers. They have other things I'll like to try, but I think they are the best for the dumplings. Will definitely come back again. read more

Our usually dinner spot after playing tennis. The dumplings here are freshly made and flavours are good. Prices are good and portion sizes are generous. I have also tried their pork bone soup, beef on rice and fried noodles. They are good as well but the dumplings are better.

Dumpling Restaurant - Korean Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

Went on a monday dinner, restaurant itself is not so fancy but food was good. I almost didn't want to share this place. Food I had : dumpling variety, fried dumplings caramelized sweet potatos, cold noodles, stir fried pork, kung pao chicken, fried noodle. Dumplings : pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of dumplings but they were good. Cold noodles: had both fresh noodle and buckwheat noodle. Fresh noodle had more chewy texture which I liked it over thin buckwheat noodle. Both had big pieces of thinly cut pork. Fried noodle: soso Kung pao : less batter than regular kung pao you can find at a food court. Caramelized SP and stir fried pork: Best. I would come back for these. Sweet potatoes get stuck together when it cools down so you might want to take your portion right away. And watch out for the sugar strings. Fried pork, which was flat , thinly battered yet very crunchy was the best dish. Price : lovely. Cash only but no complaint. read more

Okay, so really I give Dumpling House 2.5 stars, but closer to the 2 side than the 3 side. We ordered the Pork, Chive, Egg & Shrimp Dumpling as well as the Wonton Noodles. After having read the various reviews about avoiding the Korean dishes, I decided to listen to my fellow Yelpers and we skipped that. The wonton soup base might as well have been water because it was so tasteless and bland. The noodles were a udon-like noodle which was the first surprise of this dish as it is not the traditional noodle used in wonton noodle soup. The second surprise of the evening with this dish was that the wontons didn't have a shrimp filling! It had a pork filling. I didn't care too much for the layer-thick wrapper, but the filling itself was quite savory. Now onto their supposed specialty, dumplings! The dumpling wrapper is the thinnest and best I've had thus far in Toronto. The filling would've gone quite well with that bland wonton soup base because it was just as blah. I think that if the filling from the wontons and the wrappers from the dumplings were an item, it would've been wonderful... but unfortunately, the dumpling genie failed to grant that wish! A good place to go if you want to fill up fast. Our bills came to $12.41 for 2 people and the serving sizes were generous. read more

One of those restaurants where everything I ordered was very MEMORABLE. It's kind of a HIDDEN place in the same tiny strip mall that has had the CHEAPEST (asian) hair cuts for 15+ years if you don't care how you look. The decor didn't have anything to it, I took a photo of one of the RARE items that make this place indicate any signs of being KOREAN resto as well but now I look at it, it looks like its written in CHINESE. Fried Dumplings, Steam Dumplings were absolutely a pleasure to consume. We ordered Battered Deep-Fried Egglants which were nicely crispy and seasoned but eat it quickly FRESH before it gets soggy. My meal is not complete without a bowl of NOODLES! Cold Korean Noodle is quite refreshing and had a Medium Boil Egg Half on top. The photo says it all, just as good as the ones I've had near Steeles/Yonge. This is one of the FEW places I would eat "Water Cooked Fish" because I'm not big on spice. The dish actually took awhile to come, so we figured that the chef actually went out to get a fresh fish. Nonetheless the fish was GREAT and the spices wasn't OVERWHELMING. A non-spicy eater RECOMMENDS it! read more

Came here for dumplings a recommendation from a friend. Besides Chinese they serve Korean as well. Ordered pork with chive dumplings, veggie dumplings and lamb skewers. To finish off I had the caramelized sweet potato. Once you place them into water they harden and caramelize. Not a lot of place serve this dessert so I had to get it. The dumplings are quite good and the lamb skewers were okay. Love the caramelized sweet potato. read more

The dumplings here are okay. Not fantastic, but not bad either. I've had much better elsewhere, including places in Toronto. First of all, my favorite dumplings (lamb dumplings) turned out really bad... the skins had already broken by the time it was served, so all the soup had escaped. On top of this, the lamb itself didn't taste great and was kind of chewy. For this reason alone, I probably won't be back. The chive dumplings (another standard order) also didn't taste very good. The other orders (cumin lamb, "meat" dumplings, beef soup) were pretty decent though. I usually don't care about service (I just want good food), but this cold service was quite obvious. The waitress didn't crack a smile once. Every time she delivered a plate, she'd literally dump it on our table and instantly walk off. Didn't say thanks at the end when we paid the bill. Only gave her a 10% tip (would've preferred to give 0). Quite a few parking spots CASH ONLY!! ps. Not sure if I'd order Korean here. The place seemed very Chinese. read more

Dumplings here are good but service is not so great. We waited for about 5-10 mins to get seated. There'es about 4 tables that were present at the time we got there. Our server seated us at a dirty table and quickly removed all utensils and plates. She quickly wipes our table with a wet rag leaving tons of water marks on our table. I was turned off by it and was not looking forward to eat there. Server was cleaning up other tables and we saw her handling money. She would go to the kitchen and pick up food without washing her hands. Food came and it was good. Ordered skewers and dumplings and it was tasty. Because I didn't think this place is clean/sanitary, maybe I didn't enjoy it as much as I would like to. Will I go back again? Maybe if I run out of options. They only accept cash. read more

Did I not review this place??? Geez...it really must have not been very memorable one way or the other. :p All kidding aside, I really didn't see what all the fuss was about for their dumplings. My husband and I are dumpling lovers and we've gone to our share of dumpling restaurants and this place really is sub-par. The dumplings were just okay and their noodle soup which resembled Kal-Gook-Soo, was just as "meh" as the dumplings. The confusion as to whether they were serving Chinese or Korean cuisine was settled almost immediately when we tried their banchan. Yup, there was nothing Korean about their flavours. Nor were the dumplings distinctively Chinese. I'm really not sure how I feel about this "fusion" Chinese-Korean food but I doubt that I'll be making my way back here again. If I wanted Chinese style dumplings, there are far better places to go (try the northern Chinese resto in Metro Square by IBM) and for Korean food, I'd rather swing by In-Chon house which is just around the corner. read more

This is a rather less upscale restaurant but I can't complain much because you get your bang for the buck. Decent tasting food (in regards to both their Shanghai and Korean cuisines) for a considerably cheap price! I normally order one Korean pork bone soup because the meat is just so tender and the portion is very filling. The vegetable dumplings are also nice as you get 14 per order and the skin is thin. I wouldn't bring anyone here to impress them but I would definitely come with family for a cheap and filling meal. read more

See all

I came here for the first time with my friend's family tonight. Although parking is limited, I strongly advise you to come when it's not common lunch / dinner time. We ordered many items: Chives and Pork Steamed Dumplings （韭菜蒸餃）, Napa Cabbage Steamed Dumplings （白菜蒸餃）, Dill and Pork Steamed Dumplings （茴香蒸餃）Potstickers （鍋貼）, Preserved Vegetable and Shredded Pork Noodles （雪菜肉絲湯麵）, Gumjatang （韓式豬骨湯） and Sugar Pancake （糖餅）. Chives and Pork Steamed Dumplings （韭菜蒸餃） The chives and pork fillings are firm and juicy, the peel is nice and thin with a little tug when you bite into it. Be really careful as the juice will burn you tongue. Napa Cabbage and Pork Steamed Dumplings （白菜蒸餃） The Napa Cabbage has a little crunch to it, this filling definitely has ginger in it. I'm not a fan of ginger and is quite sensitive to the smell and taste of it. Dill and Pork Steamed Dumplings （茴香蒸餃） I love the aroma of dill so anything with dill tastes good to me. For people can't handle the smell of heavy herb or spices I wouldn't suggest this to them. Potstickers （鍋貼） The filling is onion and Pork. Again, very hot and juicy. The crunchy wrap with the steamy hot filling counts my favourite out of all the dishes. A must order! But one order only has 5 potstickers. Preserved Vegetables and Shredded Pork Noodles （雪菜肉絲湯麵） The noodles are cooked al dante. They are thick noodles like the ones pulled by hand. The soup base is really rich in flavour. It is a high quality noodles dish. Gumjatang （韓式豬骨湯） I didn't get to try it myself. It is the normal Pork bone with potato soup but there are soybean sprouts in it as well. This dish includes a bowl of rice. It is more than enough for one person. A good choice for a single lunch. Sugar Pancake （糖餅） For those who has eaten the green onion pancakes, instead of the green onions it contains the granulated sugar filling. It is crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside. The filling is half melted so it's a syrupy, grainy texture. Great for dessert to putting an end to a meal. All the Steamed Dumplings are 14 in a steamer compared to the usual 8-10 in other similar restaurants. The portion of the dishes is pretty generous. In total it's a little over $50 tax included. This is a combined Northern Chinese and Korean restaurant, so for people who liked both types of cuisine, you'll get the best of both. Don't expect this place to be fancy and don't expect the service to be superb. This is a casual restaurant / diner that only focuses on good quality artisan dishes. Although it's quite a distance from where I live but I'm sure I'll come back for more if I happen to be in the area. read more
