the best dumblings .......period I drive two hours to eat them just the best as well as then other main courses

Delicious! Everything we tried here (dumplings, noodles, soup) is delicious! Friendly counter service as well as a self order kiosk and online ordering. Very convenient. Eat in or take out. Nice to see that eat in has actual dishes, not plastic. Did I mention it's delicious?! Yum! read more

We were greeted with a smile by an employee behind the counter and walked over to the kiosk to order our meal. He came around and served our table. The food was delicious!! Clean bathroom, outside parking, to go plates as needed, clean atmosphere.. and again smiles all around. read more

Yes on the soup dumplings. Beef noodle soup was tasty. Could have done without the grissley beef. Popcorn chicken is a hard no. "Tender and juicy," it was not. "Beefy Burger", tasty but questioning what the globs of gelatin (maybe) mixed with the beef is all about? The place was packed at 2:00 in the afternoon. Clean. Plastic utensils or chop sticks. 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

I am so happy to see a good dumpling place in the Upper Valley! Definitely a good option for a quick lunch when in the area. It's fairly bare-bones with plastic ware and chopsticks plus shallow cardboard cups to eat from. Some simple soy-based and chili oil based sauces in little plastic containers to go with it. I think they should add other staples like scallion pancakes and fried rice so that you can make a little bit more of a meal but we enjoyed it as is. read more

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

Wow, happy dumplings rock! We had delicious spicy, pork and chives dumplings, beef noodle soup, dry noodles with pork, and popcorn chicken. Place is so clean, affordable, efficient and most importantly amazing food! 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

Spectacular. Unmatched. Truly one of a kind. We had dumplings, a beef soup, and popcorn chicken. From the customer service, to the freshness of the food, to the flavor: NEVER CHANGE A THING! Excellent food. read more

Happy Dumpling - Pan-Fried Pork & Chive Dumplings (10) 10 - Chinese Near Me - Lebanon, New Hampshire

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

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

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

Wow! What a find! The food here is delicious. We had veggie dumpling and two noodle dishes that were all wonderful. The staff are friendly and the computer ordering system is very easy to operate. We're from LA so lots of options for Chinese food but Happy Dumpling would still stand out there. read more

Best dumpling place ever!!! I just love the vegetable dumplings in chilli oil My kids loved their chicken dumpling over all great experience

Super good dumplings and fried chicken. I liked the chicken dipped in vinegar. The only thing I would change is the spicyness levels of the dry dan dan noodles. My lips weren't even tingling when I added 4 more to go containers of spicy oil. I like it hot! But overall really good! Thank you Happy Dumpling! read more

Really good food, friendly service. They had many good options on the menu. I will go back!

We got 2 orders of the pork and chive steamed dumplings and YUM! Full of juicy filling. Each order comes with 10 dumplings for $9! It really hit the spot and was perfect for lunch. They just started composting so extra points for being environmental. Add recycling next! read more

Just happened to see the Happy Dumpling sign and dumplings make me happy so I placed an order online for the pork & chive dumplings and when I went in less than 10 minutes later, they were ready! Hot and fresh! Cooked perfectly! Absolutely delicious! read more

Happy Dumpling - Pork soup dumpling - Chinese Near Me - Lebanon, New Hampshire

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

I highly recommend the pork dumplings. Store is clean and ordering is a breeze. Employees are very cordial!

It's good, but it looks better in pictures. The noodles are a little soft and dough-y. I got the spicy dumplings and dan-dan noodles based on pics and they were fine. I tend to like an authentic restaurant and I think there are better options in the area. read more

Management is amazing at this restaurant. Super clean. Not the typical Chinese restaurant. I guess I can say that because I am Chinese American. Noodles were al Dante. Flavors reminded me of my dishes when I went to Beijing and Hong Kong. We drove 27 miles for this restaurant. Great value. Probably the best Chinese restaurant in Vermont. It's def fast casual with a smile because they serve you at your table like shake shack. Definite must try. read more
