Dumpling Town actually shares this space with another food spot Kulu Desserts, which serves Hong Kong style desserts. As the name implies, their specialty are dumplings. The dumplings come with various fillings: pork and chives, beef, shrimp, curry chicken and more. I'd recommend going for the pork and chives as a first choice as that is the reliable standard option. You can get the dumplings with soup and noodles too if you wish. The prices are a little higher than a typical Cantonese restaurant, but the dumplings are super fresh and high quality. The place is really modern too with a self ordering kiosk as well.

Amazing casual noodle spot in Queens. The noodles are freshly made (might need to wait a while) but worth the wait. There are very few items on the menu but they do a good job on them. The noodles are great for any day and you can choose spicy or clear soup. There are also a variety of dumplings options - some unique ones including flounder dumplings.

This place is pretty decent but not mind-blowing. We got the pork and chives, cilantro and flounder and the curry chicken. They took a bit too cool but I'm okay with fresh dumplings. The curry chicken was decent, but the curry wasn't really hitting hon me like I had hoped. The cilantro and flounder was pretty good, but also not hitting home. I was looking for a good fish flavor or cilantro punch and got neither. The pork and chives were good. They had good flavor and that authentic pork and chives I was looking for. Overall, I think you can get better dumplings elsewhere, but in the neighborhood this is all I know for now.

Came by for lunch on a Saturday. Quick service and normal wait for our dumplings to come out. We had the pumpkin oat dumplings, the fish cilantro dumplings and the chicken curry dumplings. The pumpkin oat dumplings were uniquely delicious! The chicken curry dumplings were good and the fish dumplings were bland. For a place called Dumpling Town I was expecting a bit more variety and some knock your socks off dumplings. All in all I won't be making any special trips here but if I was hungry and found myself nearby I would pop by.

I wanted to try a new restaurant instead of going to one of my usual restaurants in the area, so I wound up wandering in here. I was immediately struck by how... sterile and bereft of character this place seemed. Generic benches, generic tables, those coaster-like pagers that signal when your meal is ready that remind me of horrid chain restaurants, a hidden-away shelf of Gundam robots towards the restrooms that struck me as the same kind of random stuff they stick on the walls of chain restaurants... not impressed. I was in the mood for noodle soup so I got their House Special, which has the choice of clear broth, which a sign next to the cash register says has pork, and spicy soup, which I inquired about and is mainly vinegar, water, and chili oil. I got the latter, waited about 10 minutes, and liked my soup just fine. I would not say it was great, for the broth was nothing to write home about, but not bad. Fairly spicy, not "can strip paint off the walls" overpowering and not a "you call this spicy?" disappointment, and they sure did not skimp on the sesame seeds. The beef had the consistency of chunks of pot roast, I could effortlessly slice through them with my chopsticks they were so tender, and there was a decent amount of them, so that I certainly liked. They did not provide a proper noodle soup soon; instead, a plastic spoon a kid would use for cereal. I absolutely hate this practice, for not only is it wasteful, but these spoons are WAY too small. I just drank the broth from the bowl because I'm not going to take half an hour to drink it with a tiny plastic spoon. While eating my soup, the music changed such that, had it been playing when I walked in, I would have spun on my heel and walked out. I'm not sure who thinks it's a good idea to start alternating between dubstep and hip-hop in a restaurant known for dumplings, noodle soup, and desserts, but that person needs a talking to, in my opinion. I actively dislike the discordant screeching mess known as dubstep and I don't care for hip-hop. So yeah, decent enough food, but the decor and the horrible music choice means I doubt I'll be back anytime soon. I can get better food just a few blocks way and not have to listen to music I don't like.

Food was delicious. Highly recommend trying this place if you love dumplings. It's different from your usual dumplings. The dumpling deluxe (I believe it had 8 pieces) is a variety of flavors and reminds me of south Asian cuisines. The pork and dill spicy soup (I believe it had 8 pieces) is a must for cold weather and will be great in clearing up your sinuses. This was definitely a satisfying meal.

You'd almost miss this spot- the menu is featured in the Kulu dessert shop. We ordered the beef & cheese in chili oil, which was my favorite. The chili oil brought just the right amount of heat. We opted to get the pork & dill with noodles... SPICY!!! The noodle soup will definitely open up your sinuses. We'll probably stick to the chili oil next time. Dessert was needed to cool down, so we got the mango crepe with matcha ice cream. I'll definitely be returning to check out the other cool dessert options. Added star for the Thai milk tea, it made the spicy noodles easier to get down.

I decided to pick up some dumplings to go from this place. When I looked at the menu, I saw there was a really affordable dumplings & noodles option, so I ordered the spicy pork and chives dumplings and noodles. I waited about 15 minutes (as it states the wait time will be) for my takeout order and expected the wait time meant everything would be made to order. I was right. When I got home, the food was still nice and hot. They packaged the noodles separately so that they wouldn't get soggy. The dumplings were very tasty, but the noodles tasted like very bland instant noodles. Next time, I'll be sure to go with just the dumpling option and leave the noodles out. Also, choosing spicy instead of nonspicy means the whole bowl of food will lose its color and turn red. If you like that kind of spicy oil, definitely opt for spicy! However, I think I'll try to get the spicy oil on the side next time to control how much is added to my dish. Overall, I was happy with the dumplings. I would order them again!

This is inside the Kulu Desserts location. It's an interesting concept. You get to choose eight dumplings (of a single type or a mix of all eight fillings) for a certain price. For a bit more, you can get it as a dumpling soup. And for a little more past that, you get a dumpling noodle soup. I went with the option that let me try all eight dumplings. The prices seem to have increased since the menus were posted, so my eight dumplings plus soup came to $6.50. It was interesting trying all eight of their dumplings. It was tough to make out what each one was, but the pork and dill was the standout. It's not a combination you see very often, so I really enjoyed it. My least favorites were the curry chicken and the beef and cheese. I was excited to try the fish and cilantro one, but I never did find it. I don't know if it just didn't taste like fish and cilantro or if they somehow skipped it and gave me two of a single flavor. The non-spicy soup was actually a lot more than I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to just be a clear broth or the kind of broth that comes with wonton soup. But it was actually an impressive broth with a lot of seaweed and mini dried shrimp for umami flavor. The reason this is 3 stars and not 4 is the service. It took 25 minutes to get my dumplings. I saw multiple staff members just standing around in the back talking. None of them had any sense of urgency. I doubt they're sitting there wrapping each of my dumplings to order, so all they have to do is throw eight dumplings into boiling water and cook them. There's no way it should take 25 minutes. Go to the New World Mall and order dumplings there. They'll have them to you within 5-7 minutes. I got dessert from Kulu Desserts at the same time, but it wasn't the dessert that was holding things up since I saw my mango pomelo dessert sitting there for a while waiting for the dumpling soup.

Located in Kulu desserts. There isn't a separate counter for it so don't get confused. I ordered the curry chicken dumplings in soup, cilantro and flounder dumplings with noodles and the pork and chive dumplings. The wait took 21 minutes to be exact which was a pretty long time for dumplings so I don't recommend this place for a quick bite. The dumplings tasted good but they were not mind blowing. I also found the noodles to be a little too hard for my tastes. Even if you order spicy, the food isn't spicy at all. The prices are good though, and I like how you can get dessert right after!

It's a new addition to the area and I'm happy to have it. The dumplings are good for the price, it's really easy to fill up here and still spend less than $10. They have a $10 credit card minimum. The curry chicken dumplings are nice. Tender chicken, mild curry flavor. The pork, chive, and shrimp are good. The pork and chive are on their own are even better, the shrimp isn't really discernible. You can get just the dumplings by themselves (8 to an order), or you can get them in soup, or in soup with noodles. The spicy broth is not really spicy, I actually prefer the clear broth with a little bit of sriracha. While these dumplings aren't on the same level as Lao Bei Fang, you'll leave full and happy. Wait times are long, and the music is absolutely atrocious (blasting k-pop and dance hip hop). The place is always full of people sitting around, on their laptops, I don't know how anyone gets anything done. They currently offer 10% off when you check in on Facebook or Yelp. I ordered the curry chicken dumplings on their own, and the pork and chive dumplings in soup with noodles. With the check in deal it came to under $9. I'm happy!

Forget Chinatown! Get on the R train and come to Dumpling Town! The newton st subway stop drops you right at it. The delux is 8 different dumplings.. not a single one disappointed me! The signature spicy soup is spicy for sure, but very tasty. I'm in NYC for 6 more weeks and will definitely be making the journey out here several more times!!
