The portions are huge and the dumplings were stuffed. I did a to-go order and it was well packaged so the transportation was really nice. The only reason I'm not giving it a 5 is because I didn't love the flavor as much, it was a little too bland for me but my husband loved it read more

Amazingly delicious and fresh dumplings!! This is the best dumplings in New England!! The dumplings were so beautifully made and perfectly boiled. Boiled dumplings are the most authentic and difficult to make, because it is so simple, if the ingredients are not fresh, or the skills of wrapping and boiling are not good, it will not taste good. This place perfect the dumplings! It tasted so good almost tasted like home made dumplings! The pork bun was so crispy, flaky, and the meat was so juicy and delicious, the chives inside were so green and fresh! We almost fight over this port bun. But because I'm the nice person so I give the half bun to my partner and had more dumplings instead. Very nice and clean restaurant. Very efficient and friendly services. Super family friendly. Most importantly, the bathroom was super clean! I recommend this place to anyone! read more

Wow, first time trying this place and I am NOT disappointed!! The noodle soup is SO GOOD!! I got this to go and they put the broth on the side which I appreciate because I can add as much as I want! The soy egg is the perfect addition. I also got the chicken soup dumplings which are equally as delicious. Please go eat at the happy dumpling!! read more

We've been here many times and have always left satisfied! Portions are generous. Everything we've tried has been delicious. Pork Soup dumplings, pan fried chive dumplings, beef noodle soup, spicy pork noodle soup, spicy Dan-dan noodle soup, and the spicy burning dry noodle soup with pork. We have enjoyed each dish and can't pick a favorite so we just go with what we are in the mood for. In time, we will probably try the whole menu! Service is very friendly and its quick. Even when it's busy, we are still in and out quickly, it's a no frill sit restaurant with some bar seating and tables. Self-serve but they sometimes deliver your food out as well. It's clean, basic and bright inside. It's definitely a favorite stop for us when we are in the area. read more

I've been going since they opened and it's a favorite of the whole family. I've enjoyed everything I've eaten there from their tasty dumplings (xiao long bao/soup dumplings, steamed dumplings, spicy dumplings, fried dumplings), soup and dry noodle dishes, popcorn chicken, egg, and Chinese hamburger (pork is my favorite!). The food is tasty, fresh, made quickly, and reasonably priced. The folks who work here are fantastic and friendly and the atmosphere is great too. It's a bright and cheery space. I like the extra touches they have here, like their homemade chili oil and dumpling sauce that accompany their dumplings. The Upper Valley is very lucky to have Happy Dumpling as a restaurant. read more

We really enjoyed the excellent counter service here. The person I was eating with didn't like the sweet soy or the hot chili oil (I loved both) so I asked them if we could have a side of the sesame peanut sauce that is used on the cold peanut noodles. Although it was an extra request, they were able to accommodate me. They quickly brought out a side cup of the sesame sauce. Note: you simply order at the counter kiosk and then pick up your food there. But the attendant who packs the food is easily available - with a helpful disposition - to answer questions while you are at the kiosk ordering. The Steamed Pork & Chive Dumplings (10) were delicious. They were juicy inside and had a nice, mild - but very present - flavor. I recommend them steamed unless you like the pan-fried style that look more like the coating of an egg roll instead of how they would look if you actually pan fried the steamed dumplings, ie with a light brown, crispy sear around the edges. The soy sauce is a classic, sweet dumpling sauce. It's very good! Adding the hot Spicy Chili Oil to the Steamed Pork & Chive Dumplings is highly recommended if you like a mild heat. The Spicy Chili Oil Dumplings (10) were good, but they didn't open the heavens for me. These dumplings didn't have the bang factor I was looking for but they were very flavorful and tasty. I wanted more of an intense taste inside, ie garlic, ginger and/or some kind of zing. I do not know what the broth base was but it was fine. I asked an employee what the broth was, ie beef? He wanted to find out but the he got too busy. . We enjoyed the family atmosphere there. We saw two bamboo bowls of steamed soup dumplings come out and the looked delicious. I would like to try them if I return. The Dan Dan noodles and cold sesame peanut noodles would be two other things to try. I might add a hint of sugar to the sesame sauce to sweeten it a bit. All in all, a solid 4 here for good service and reliably good dumplings. read more

What a great little place!! Reasonable prices, quick friendly service, gigantic portions, delicious food--at least the two things we tried. Pork and leek pan fried dumplings were darkly fried to perfection. They tasted a lot like fried wontons. Juicy and yummy. Dan Dan noodle soup probably wasn't authentic Szechuan--as if I would know. But it was delicious! Spicy but not mind or mouth numbingly so, fresh cilantro, chewy fresh slightly sweet noodles, and a heavenly broth. So good! I wanted to finish......... I was defeated. The place kind of runs itself. You pay at a machine, they call a number, you clean your own place. Very informal. There was a lady who might be the owner (or at least manager) sitting at a table, kind of incognito. I wanted to tell her how much I loved the place. We will stop here again. If you're heading down I 89, it's a perfect place to grab a bite. read more

Absolutely delicious! I'm visiting from California, and I've had tons of Chinese food over the years -- but I honestly didn't expect to find something this good while traveling! The beef noodle soup (spicy version) was incredibly flavorful and comforting -- rich broth, tender beef, and just the right level of heat. Both the pan-fried dumplings and steamed dumplings were excellent -- juicy, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. On top of that, the prices were so reasonable that I was honestly surprised. This place is such a hidden gem -- highly recommend it to anyone craving authentic, delicious Chinese food! read more

So happy that there is an authentic Chinese restaurant opened in the Upper Valley! Happy dumplings, as the name suggests, mainly serves dumplings & noodles. There are not too many options to pick from, but the options they offered are very good. There were lots of people in line at night, and food was served very slowly (we waited for more than an hour). I assume service will get faster once they are open for a while, but I'd recommend going there before the dinner rush. read more

Second time in a week! Steamed pork dumplings are unctuous and generously filled. The dumplings are pillowy soft but nicely chewy. The pork and chive dumpling explodes in your mouth with delicious flavor and texture. 10 are in a serving and one needs to be hungry to finish it. Ditto all the portion sizes. The beef noodle soup and spicy beef noodle soup (separate dishes) look scrumptious. Maybe next time. The staff is friendly, professional, care what their customers want and how they enjoy their meals. Lovely! Happy Dumpling is locally owned. One more reason to patronize this corner of dumpling heaven! We have a feeling we'll be eating our way through the menu. Lucky us!! read more

Wow, amazing addition to the Upper Valley! Delicious, surprisingly not heavy food: the dumplings in chili oil were better than some we recently had in Flushing, the "burning" noodles were excellent, and the veggie dumplings were a tasty hit with our picky eater...though a pan fried option would have made him even happier. Only thing that was solid vs. amazing were the soup dumplings - light on the soup which was more brothy than soupy. Happy Dumpling is generous with sauce and cutlery (supplying a little soup cup to "catch" any soup dumpling spillage , for example) which isn't always the case. Service was super speedy - fast food quick - and the restaurant itself is bright, clean, modern, and spacious. Bonus = endless pop soundtrack. We'll be back! read more

The sauce appeared to be just regular soy sauce though. Spicy eggplant with chicken - got this in medium and it was not spicy at all. It was good, but there was a lot more chicken than eggplant. While that's not necessarily a bad thing, I was hoping for there to be a bit more eggplant in an eggplant dish. As you can see in the photo, there was sort of soup/water in it, which I found weird. The chicken was a bit dry, but still very much edible. It went nicely with the rice. Pad thai - got this in medium as well, I think I'll go for hot/spicy next time. It's definitely good. I like that compared to other restaurant pad thais in the area, it's not so salty. It has enough flavor, but not so much that it makes your mouth numb. One of my favorite pad thais in the area. Pho - this felt less like a standard pho, and more like pho with a bit of thai twist. That is not to say that it wasn't good, though. It was definitely decent, just not the standard pho. Also, no hoisin/sriracha sauces were provided. Overall, it was good and I'd get some of the stuff again. Check this place out if you're tired of the super flavored Thai food that is the usual and want a little bit of Thai food that tastes like how a home cooked Thai food probably would taste like.

You're from the Himalayas and you somehow find yourself in the US. Of course you'll open a…read morerestaurant here on the US Northeastern seaboard in the beauty of the Appalachian mountain range. I believe there are 4 Nepalese restaurants in the region and other than this, I've not yet been to one before. There are 2 in Burlington, this one is at Dartmouth College in Hanover and the fourth is in Quebec. What a special experience to visit this Kathmandu-style, Nepalese restaurant. The Base Camp Cafe is in the basement of a Dartmouth campus building. Getting to it is tricky if you need the elevator but go through the Mexican restaurant and down their back hallway to get to it. Everyone reviews the Base Camp Cafe's most famous app: the Mo mo's and with good reason. Our mo mo chicken dumplings were not like the Asian steamed dumplings we are used to. They are so much better! The outside of the dumpling is more like a thick wonton soup noodle with multiple layers. Sooo good! The heart chicken flavor is clean and satisfying. There are notes of cilantro apparent in the center. The golden lentil dal soup, on the other hand, was deflating. It was mainly a broth with tiny bits of lentils and not much else. It was more like eating a curried chicken broth with a lentil paste vs. a hearty soup full of lentils. The red chili curry at spice level 5 is delicious. I chose the veggie curry and it has good heat, not too intense. The tomato flavor in this curry is strong like a sun ripened tomato paste. The veggies in it are delightfully firm and crunchy. The gigantic bowl of stir fry noodles are similar to al dente fettuccine vs. a rice pasta. They have an easy smokey flavor. I requested a side of hot sauce. What an impressive first tasting experience! I can only compare it to if you could taste a crystal lake, it is like this. There is a pure, clear flavor that hits your taste buds first. Like water but condensed. Then the heat builds and builds. And continues to build minutes after. The dark green sauce gracing the top of our rice is also an experience. It's more rich and - again - condensed than any hot Asian green chili sauce I've had. It is at least made of cilantro and avocado, but also a tiny amount of jalapeño with olive oil. Absolutely loved it! I do not know exactly how to write this but there was a bit of a spiritual cleansing here and I'm not talking about digestive. Later in the evening we just felt more relaxed and positive from the high mountain peak dining recipes and exotic wall art. It's as though any lingering negative vibes fled and headed back to the hills. The service at the Base Camp Cafe is earnest, efficient and kind. Requests are met with sincerity and smiles come easily here.

Authentic Nepalese cuisine. The real deal. Great ambience…read more Would highly recommend it.
