This place was busy even at 11pm, a lot of the items were sold out because we visited an hour before they close, for the items we tried, they tasted alright. The inside felt humid and smelt greasy (maybe AC was broken?), would be better for take outs.
We saw Hero Dumpling on social media and decided to give it a try, and I'm glad we did. I really like this spot and it has become my go to place whenever I'm near the Eaton Centre area. Ordering is super easy since everything is done through a self serve kiosk, similar to McDonald's, which makes the whole experience quick and hassle free. The food is tasty, the portions are solid, and the prices are very affordable. I also appreciate that there's no tipping required. It's a great place to try a variety of dumplings and small dishes without spending much. I'd definitely recommend it if you're around the area and craving some cheap and satisfying dumplings.
First time trying this new dumpling place. Went on a whim since I was going home from the movies. Bit of a mix up with my order so had to go back to counter & fix it. Easily done. Ordered the pan fried pork & cabbage($3.99) & the fried shrimp($4.99). Had want to try the chicken but they sold out. Both items were good. I couldn't really taste much cabbage in the dumplings but still good flavour and great pricing. Brightly lit and clean space.
This is a brand new Chinese dim sum restaurant featuring dumplings. The dumpling prices are really cheap, like uptown prices, not downtown prices. They even have 6 dumplings for $2.99! They have other dim sum and snacks. They soft-opened on 2025-09-05. Unfortunately there is construction of the sidewalk for the entire block so there are fences bl9cking their view. We ordered the following: 1. Mini Pan-Fried Pork Buns 16 pcs ($8.99). 2. Steamed Soup Dumplings- Pork (XLB) 6 pcs ($3.99). 3. Pan-Fried Pork and Cabbage Dumplings 6 pcs ($3.99). 4. Qianglixiamg-Style Wontons - Pork 8 pcs ($8.99). 5. Black Pepper Beef Pie ($3.99). 6. Mild Spicy Chicken Pie ($3.99). 7. Original Chicken Wings 6 pcs ($11.99). All the dumplings were good. I like the Black Pepper Beef Pie. The Chicken Wings were crispy on the outside but a little dry on the inside. The customer service was good. There are several tables and a small counter seating (with 3 stools). There is pop radio music playing in the background. There is one self-order kiosk. There is a loyalty program where you get 1 points for every $0.10 you spend (equivalent to 10 points per dollar). This is a family business run by a mother, son, and daughter. Trivia: The daughter's husband owns Juicy Dumpling! There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There is one gender-neutral washroom which is wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2025-194
Craving juicy dumplings? And don't want to commute to west china town? This is the new downtown alternative to Juicy Dumplings, the delicious and economical dumpling joint. This establishment offers a few tables for the guests to consume their food, but it is take out focused.
A tasty new option for dumplings in the downtown core! Previously the locations that offer similar dishes were far and few between, but with the arrival of Hero dumpling, affordable and tasty dumplings are much more accessible! The carry cup of iced tea and dumplings is a super cute idea. lots of selection and variation, not a place for veggie lovers but you don't go for dumplings to get a plate of veggies! Friendly staff and hard workers!
Hero Dumpling located along Yonge St. near College St. serves up affordable dumplings in a busy downtown area. I believe the owners of Hero Dumpling are related to Juicy Dumpling. The menu is simple sorted into steamed dumplings (only $2.99 for 6 pieces), pan-fried dumplings, fried snacks (fried shrimp, chicken wings), wontons, and pies/buns (black pepper beef, chicken, etc). The highlight of their menu is that their steamed pork soup dumplings (xiao long bao) is only $3.99 for 6 pieces! I stopped by Hero Dumpling to pick up some cheap eats on a Friday afternoon. The place wasn't busy but there were a few customers enjoying their dumplings there. There are a handful of tables you can dine in at or you can take your dumplings to go. There are 2 kiosk machines you can order from or you can order at the cashier. Placing my order with the cashier it took less than 5 min to prepare. Service was friendly and efficient. Food wise, I ordered the following items: - Steamed pork soup dumplings x2 ($3.99) - Mini pan-fried pork buns ($8.99 for 15 pieces) - Pan-fried pork buns ($6.99 for 4 pieces) Everything tasted good, what you'd expect for the price you paid. The mini pan-fried pork buns were easy to eat, the perfect snack sized bite. The pan-fried pork buns were filled with pork juice as soon as you bit into them. Can't say anything about the steamed pork-soup dumplings as well. Overall, a great new spot for cheap eats in the College Park area! Will definitely return for more in the future when I'm around the area.
Hero Dumpling is just across the street from us and next to a store we frequently visit. We saw the hype when they opened and their owner's personal relationship with Juicy Dumpling. Sadly, we were quite disappointed with the place. The service was fast, but the food was cold, good thing it wasn't raw inside. Since it's new, hoping they improve their quality control. They have some seating available, but it is quite small. Additionally, it feels like the staff is still learning the ropes, ordering on the screen was much easier than in person. Their deals are pretty good though, maybe if I am in a pinch I will try again and if it is still cold, will ask nicely for them to heat it up more. Otherwise, I can just buy some frozen dumplings and heat them up at home.
Of course, while bedtime scrolling we heard about this new dumpling spot... opened by the Juicy crew. Put it on the list and we got the chance to go on Saturday night. Gotta say, maybe cuz it's new but it's pretty clean and comfortable upon entering. It's got about 6-8 tables to eat in but most were taking the food to go. Everything comes in boxes and you can either order at the counter or on a kiosk. Quick and easy, no complaints. I went to the counter bc I wanted an explanation on the difference of the wonton types. Qianxiling (sp) vs regular vs HK-style... and this is where they lose a star. I asked the associate if she could explain the difference - she said she didn't know and had to ask the kitchen. Sure... but she came back and said "they're pretty much the same except for the ingredients" "ok so what's the different ingredients?" "They're pretty much the same, just different flavour". Oookie, so we skipped those and got the basics. We got 30 dumplings for less than $23. Can't complain about that! Our order was called maybe 5ish mins after ordering. They give you chopsticks, Wings hot sauce (my hub's fav) and soy sauce. I'm more of a vinegar girl but I didn't bother asking. Def good for a quick snack or smaller meal.. I can see loss of students going for a quick fix!
Newly opened soup dumpling spot near College Park! The service was extremely fast and there are a few tables for indoor seating. You order at the counter and pick up the food when called. I had the Steamed Pork Soup Dumplings ($3.99/6 pcs) and Pan Fried Pork Buns ($6.99/4 pcs). I really enjoyed the fried buns for the extra crisp. The soup dumplings were also decent and you can't beat the price, especially at this location. Great downtown lunch spot or simply to drop in for a snack if you don't want a full meal.
We were super excited to try this new dumpling place near our place. The price was so good, you can get $2.99 for 6 dumplings! Everything on their menu was very reasonably priced. The dumplings themselves weren't super specially and we were a bit disappointed that some came out not warm. We did get the mini pan fried dumplings which were hot and crispy though. There was a decent amount of seating in the restaurant and the staff were really nice. The food also came out super fast. To be honest, I wouldn't have minded if it took a bit longer and they heated up our food a bit more.
While the dumplings are pretty plain and straightforward, the value for money is great with pretty good portion sizes for the cheaper prices. No frills food, spartan place, but will fill your belly without making your wallet ache.
Hero Dumplings is a good budget spot, similar to Juicy Dumplings, but the dumplings here are less soupy and more on the dry or fried side. I tried the mini mala fried dumplings that come served on top of a drink cup. It looks cute and is fun for a first try, but the combo isn't worth the price since the drink tastes like a basic HK-style lemon honey tea. Next time I would just order the mini dumplings on their own because the slight mala flavour makes them the highlight of the menu. The other dumplings and the meat burger are fine but nothing special. Some people recommended the sesame wontons, but I wouldn't. They were tiny, dried out, and felt like eating a mint. The interior is simple and mostly food court or takeout style, so keep expectations casual.
I came to Hero Dumplings because they had a deal for 6 pork soup dumplings for only $2.99, which honestly felt like a steal. I wasn't expecting much at that price, but they were surprisingly good and reminded me a lot of Din Tai Fung. We walked in and there was plenty of seating available. Ordering was easy through the kiosk, and the food came out pretty quickly. The soup dumplings had a great amount of broth inside, and each one was juicy and flavorful. Definitely don't bite into them too fast unless you want a mouthful of hot soup! For the price, I was seriously impressed!!! not sure how long they will have this deal. read more
Soup dumplings were okay but didn't taste soupy, tasted like normal dumplings. Bbq pork bun was great and nicely steamed when it was served to us. The store was not clean, so many flies around the space and water/some liquid dripping from the ceiling. We came in wanting to dine in but were so grossed out at the dirtiness of the place. The service was also slow. They were not busy but it took like 15 mins for us to get our small order. read more

Located in Toronto's Chinatown, Hero Dumpling is a hidden gem offering authentic, handmade dumplings with a modern twist. This cozy spot serves some of the city's best dumplings, with fresh fillings and a wide variety of flavors. The signature Hero Dumplings are a must-try. The pork and shrimp filling is perfectly seasoned, with a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior. If you're looking for something a little more exciting, the spicy lamb dumplings will definitely satisfy your taste buds. The relaxed and comfortable atmosphere makes it ideal for both a quick bite and a leisurely dinner. The service is warm and attentive, and there's usually no long wait, especially for takeout. The prices match the quality, making Hero Dumpling the perfect choice for those who want to enjoy authentic, delicious dumplings without breaking the bank. read more

Hero Dumpling is a NEW dumpling shop in downtown Toronto serving a variety of dumplings, including steamed, pan-fried, and soup dumplings, at very affordable prices! You can get a six-piece steamed dumplings for as low as $2.99 and soup dumplings (XLB) for just $3.99. This is perfect for students and employees looking for an affordable meal. Most people come here for takeout but they have some tables if you'd like to eat there. The service is fast and staff are friendly. My personal favourites are the Pork soup dumplings (xlb) and pan-fried pork buns! We loved the mini dumplings too. They have a washroom here. A parking spot for sure is hard to find since they are located in the downtown core but they are just steps away from College subway station. read more
Heard about this place through social media. They had an opening promotion first 100 people get their pork soup dumplings. Line few minutes after 12pm. Staff handed out numbers for line up goers to the first 100 people. Wait was about an hour. Organizated a few entered at time. Food made hot and steaming hot. Definitely could taste ginger the soup dumplings remind me of the Costco brand but bigger. Incredibly juicy inside and delicious. Came with soy sauce and hot sauce for take out. No frills kinda shop would definitely come back. Located Yonge and college. No parking by store front as it is a major intersection. Staff was nice friendly. It's a smaller shop with online ordering kiosk as well as a counter. There was some tables inside to sit. Not very big space. Currently sidewalk had some fences due to construction does not block store front. Would recommend for quick bit cheap eats. read more
Just tried the delicious selection of dumplings Hero dumplings has and I definitely recommend them all. Their dumplings are freshly made and have great quality. The staff are very friendly and the restaurant itself has a clean atmosphere and some tables if you'd like to dine in. I love both their fried and soup dumplings! read more

Hero Dumpling is a really affordable dumpling spot though the quality corresponds with the price. It feels like mass produced frozen dumplings which is fine for the price. The wrappers for almost all the soup dumplings ripped because it stuck to each other. read more

I've been longing for a Xiao long bao place downtown near where I work. When I found that this place was selling 6 steamed Xiao long bao for 3.99, or 6 pan fried ones for 4.99, I thought it was a steal. Bao house on Dundas and Elizabeth nearby charge 5.99 for 6, which I thought was already a steal. But now I will tell you why the key one sentence description with Hero dumpling is "you get what you paid for". Ok, to me the key of a good Xiao long bao are the hot tasty soup in the dumpling, and of course the hot tasty meat inside as well. And what enables hot tasty soup in the dumpling? The unpierced skin of the dumpling. Look at one of my pictures. A few came completely broken. In the other picture, the steamed dumpling came stuck together and one upside down. If you have dumplings stuck together, you run into the risk of ripping the skin while trying to pull them apart. I find it essential to pull steam them while they're apart. This restaurant completely fails on that regard. Having them touching is a peeve that I can kind of look past, and even coming in tossed in the container upside down and scattered I can kind of l look past too. But only because you're pricing them so cheap. Having them tossed inside and ripped open is completely unacceptable, even if you're giving them away for free. For the Xiao long bao that came somewhat intact, the temperature was not hot enough. It only came somewhat warm, which was unsatisfying. You don't get that awesome hot temperature in your mouth. Again, I would be mighty mad if it wasn't so cheap. I would be giving this place a much lower score if it wasn't for the fact that it's so cheap. Again, you get what you paid for. If you want steaming hot Xiao long bao that's not mostly stuck together, dine in at Bao House (can't speak for take out). They also have beef, curry pork, classic pork, and some other versions. Summary. It's an in ok restaurant to fill your tummy on a budget. Quality: 3/10. Service: 6/10. Value: 6/10. Overall: 5/10 (not an average). read more

I'm a huge fan of Hero Dumpling. It's a true cheap eats spot -- affordable and tasty little dumplings. I like the soup dumplings and the fried soup dumplings (I forget what they're called). It does what it needs to do (yummy, simple), for a great price. read more

The price is good and the food is not bad. But the place itself feels quite dirty. Hordes of flies to the point where I'm swatting them away every few seconds. AC was also broken and quite hot inside. read more
