I recently went back and the service was a lot faster this time. I enjoyed their pork soup dumplings and their mini sesame balls were a great dessert treat! Still wondering why they have French themed tables though. read more

When it comes to dumplings, my bar is set extremely high. I knew better than to expect too much from Dumpling House. In my mind, there is no way a dumpling spot in Rochester can compete with the places I've been fortunate enough to experience in Toronto, Asia and even at home. So Dumpling House actually met my expectations. First of all, I don't think Dumpling House is deserving of the many 1-2 star reviews on Yelp. I attribute those low reviews to being a new restaurant that is working out kinks in production and service. I found the service to be fairly attentive and my food came out in a reasonable time. However l, I did dine at an off-peak hour (5:30 pm). The set-up is a bit strange though. When you first walk in, it still feels like a fast food taco spot. Your first instinct is to walk to the counter to order. But if you're dining in, you should sit down first and order from a waiter. So maybe a "please seat yourself" or "wait for a server" sign is necessary. They also do not have any pictures on their menu nor do they have any signage over their counter. So knowing what to order can be confusing to customers, especially those not accustomed to ordering Chinese food. I found the food itself to be quite edible, albeit on the more bland side. I ordered the Cumin Lamb Kabob ($7) and the pan fried House Dumplings ($8). The kabobs were cooked well and juicy. I thought they could use more cumin. Portions were okay (3 skewers). The dumplings well nicely fried, but under-seasoned. There were supposed to be 3 different types of filling (pork, shrimp and egg & chive) but they all tasted the same to me. I really couldn't make out the individual stuffing ingredients. I also found their dumplings to be on the small side and honestly at $1 per dumpling I'm not sure if it's worthwhile. Pricing-wise, if they took a dollar off each item (ie. $6 for the skewers, $7 for the dumplings), I would feel better about it. I ended up paying $19 including tax and tip for 8 small dumplings and 3 small-ish skewers in a fast food joint environment. Overall, not THAT disappointing, but definitely not very impressive. I may be back to try their noodle dishes, but I definitely won't return just for their dumplings. I do wish them all the best though. read more

Delicious. Service was great, food was excellent. Highly recommend the fried rice and pork dumplings.

Food was amazing, however the extra spicy added gave me an upset stomach all night. Definitely would come back, but no need to ask for extra spice if you're a spicy food person on this dish! read more

Pretty much every dumpling dream come true! We stopped in while traveling thru and ordered pork and chive dumpling, house dumpling, pork Bao, shrimp soup dumpling, beef noodle soup and scallion pancake. yes, for 2 people (dont judge- we ate it all) It happens. Zero Regrets. The shrimp soup dumplings stole the show, but everything was pretty darn good! I love how extensive the menu is- cant wait to try more next time! Service was top knotch-unexpected for a 'fast casual' restaurant. Friendly and helpful! Ambiance? Its git plenty of windows, good space and its not too loud... also a rare treat these days! read more

I really did enjoy everything I ordered . However, the only downside was the price compared to portion. Im new to the area and came from Boston MA. I would expect the prices here to be not more than Boston ! The only thing I would say was an ok size was the lomein. It was $14 but at least it was large. The scallion pancake was so so small. Only 4 tiny triangles and $7. The food was really delicious I just wish the prices matched the amount of food that I got. I also was surprised that most everything came with duck sauce and not the actual sauce it should come with. However , like I said it was still very tasty . read more

We've only done takeout from here, but the food has always been amazing. We love the soup dumplings, BBQ Pork Bao, and Teriyaki Tofu. We've ordered about five times so far. The food is always great. My only complaints is that sometimes I've waited a long time in the drive thru line despite arriving at my pickup time. Not enough to discourage me from coming back, but it could be a touch more organized. You will surely enjoy your meal here. read more

Nice modern restaurant. Both seating area with wait service along with counter order for to go. Menu items can be hit or miss for the price. Xiao long bao soup dumplings tasted like the frozen ones found at the store; paying just to heat and decorate with bamboo steamer? Others like pork and chive dumplings (top left of menu) are house made...I think. Slight hiccup with order organization but wait staff was able to fix it. read more

The sesame tofu was delicious! Their egg custard bao were also really good. They play the best music in there.

First time delivery order. Everything was packaged neatly and delivered warm and accurately. Some of my favorites were the chicken bun and the lamb dumplings. The panfried dumplings were not greasy or overdone. They felt light and were tasty. We tried the dan dan noodles, which was a first for me. I'm sure the dish was done well, but I was a little surprised by the spiciness. Maybe we should not have added all of the sauce to the dish. Excited to try more soon. read more

I'm traveling from San Diego, visiting my bfs family here. I love Asian food and there's not a lot of Asian food options here, and if there are, they're probably not rated as good. Anywho, begged my bf to stop here because I was starving and just like the sweetest guy he is, we stopped there for a late lunch. Outside looks meh but inside was clean. the smell of spices hit my nose before I opened the door, that's when I knew it was going to be good. We ordered Dan Dan noodles (10/10), house dumpling (10/10), Szechuan dumplings (10/10) but be careful it packs heat, shrimp dumplings and shumai was just meh both rated (4/10). Overall I give this place a 4.5!! Excellent customer service and food came out just on time. I'll be coming here every time I visit the family read more

Ordered the sesame tofu and pan fried pork and chive dumplings. Love that you can pick up via drive-thru, very convenient. Both items were hot, fresh, and ready quickly. Prices are a bit higher than I was expecting, but to be fair I got three meals out of what I ordered. I'm excited to return and try other menu items for sure! read more

Food and service were good. 3/4 of the restaurant was counter and fast food table. 1/4 of it was sit down with waitress but it overlooked the fast food area read more

We finally got a chance to visit this past Saturday. I was thoroughly impressed, and wish I had gone sooner! We ordered the Roasted Pork Belly Buns, Szechuan Wontons, Pan-fried Pork Dumplings, and Xiao Long Bao (Soup Dumplings). My partner and I shared all the offerings. Everything was delicious and beyond our expectations! It is so hard to find authentic Asian/Chinese cuisine in Rochester, but this has hit the mark! The delicious soup dumplings were on par with those I had while visiting China. Mouth-watering, and full of unctuous broth. The pork dumplings brought me back to the little shop I visited on the streets of Hong Kong. Overall, a hidden gem for Rochester. I can't wait to go back and try other menu items! Highly recommended! read more

I had 3 small plates for lunch and all were fantastic, my preference in this order: pork belly buns, crab and pork Xiao long bao (soup dumplings), and Szechuan wontons. All were unique but the pork belly dish was one of the best I've ever had. The food doesn't match the ambiance which is set up more like a Qdoba with pop music in the background but who cares. Absolutely would come back and try everything on the menu. Service was great. read more

Stopped in for a late takeout lunch, will definitely stay to eat next time. We ordered the crab rangoons which were AMAZING. They were hot, crispy, and the filling had so much flavor. Don't be a fool like me, order the larger size. Next up were the pan fried pork & chive dumplings which were a 10/10. We finished our meal with an order of the udon noodles with chicken. While the noodles were cooked well, the dish was very bland -- we ended up tossing in some teriyaki sauce at home which helped. read more

Excellent food, good service and a very convenient location. I chose this restaurant, because dim sum is a favorite of mine and what I ordered was delicious. Also, the wonton soup was the best I have ever tasted. I highly re ommend this restaurant. read more

We finally decided to check out dumpling house and we had no regrets! The restaurant is surprisingly spacious with plenty of seating for social distance dine in. It's definitely made for take out though too. The server who took our order was fast and nice and explained the items well. We ordered a variety of items which included the scallion pancake, pork and chives dumplings, zechuan wontons, xia long bao and the dan dan noodle. The scallions pancakes are one of the best we had in the area. It was crisp and the scallion flavor was very pronounced. The pork and chive dumplings were solid. It was a bit hard to taste the chives, and the wrapping was overwhelming the meat a little, but I love doughy carbs so I didn't really mind at all. The zechuan wontons were delish! The wrapping was thinner and you can definitely taste the meaty goodness inside. The sauce it was marinating in was tangy and salty which complemented it really well. The xia long bao was probably our favorite of the night. They looked so adorable in it's bamboo container. The inside is steaming so becareful, but once you get to eat it, it's such a nice subtle flavor and salty with the soy sauce you dip it into. It's delicately tasty! The one dish we both didn't care for was the dan dan noodle. I am not really sure what type of noodle this dish had but it honestly tasted and had the texture of spaghetti. Not that that's bad, it was unexpected from what we've had elsewhere. The sauce/soup it was in was quite bland, and all we tasted was spicy-ness (from peppercorn?). I had to pour in more soy sauce to really make it more flavorful. On our way out we saw a variety of adorably poofy baos that I cannot wait to go back and try so I'm very excited for our next visit to the dumpling house! read more

The beef was very fatty, my baos were very undercooked, the service was donkey balls, and my party of four each got served at different times, minute gaps. I was the last to receive my sesame chicken, which they also didn't cook properly, and didn't put enough sesame sauce on the chicken. I would not recommend this place, and I am certainly never coming back. Huge waste of 100$, never again! read more

A little weird as far as atmosphere goes but the food is good. I had the Dan Dan noodles which were just spicy enough.

This food was amazing! We shared Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings) and I had the beef noodle soup. My mom got the General Tso Chicken. The soup dumplings were savory and tasted heavily of sesame oil, and when you dipped them in the vinegar they gave OH MAMA it was amazing. My beef noodle soup was pretty good - not my favorite. My mom's general Tao's chicken was to die for. It was like a mix between sweet and sour chicken and the traditional spicy general tso. So good! read more

We picked up our order instead of eating at the restaurant. The food was good but I think it would have been better had we eaten there. I do love that they have a drive through to pick up orders. Everything was good but nothing spectacular. I would definitely order from them again! read more

Tasty & great dumplings! Check it out- fun place to go on a date night for a delicious meal.

Good food. Best soup dumpling at CNY. Definitely will back again. And Also love the beef noodle.

This place has pretty good Xiao Long Bao, when you bite the XLB, juicy comes out, you need a spoon to catch them all. Dan Dan noodle was all right, not that spicy as I was expecting. Pan fried dumpling was about average. Their Singapore Style noodle had some good curry in it. Plenty of seatings for small and large group. Overall good experience, will come back for more XLB. read more

Very good Asian cuisine. Sesame chicken is perhaps the best in Rochester. All their dumplings are great, but the veggies are a notch above.

The food here is BLAND. I was super excited about having a dumpling place in Rochester when it first opened but I was extremely disappointed. I went on a Tuesday night with my husband. We started with a teriyaki tofu small plate and the scallion pancakes. The pancakes were extremely bland; they just tasted like dough to me. Where were the scallions? The apple sauce that came with it was an interesting choice though. We ordered a side of rice with teriyaki tofu; the rice was very dry. The teriyaki tofu wasn't bad; the sauce was good but I wish there was more of it. The tofu was the best part of the meal. We ordered the vegetarian baozi and the vegetarian dumplings, both pan fried. They had the SAME FILLING! It's called the Dumpling House but the dumplings and baos were both super bland and unimaginative. Vegetarian does NOT mean BORING. I have better veggie dumplings from the Trader Joe's frozen section. Try mushrooms, spinach, bok choy, jackfruit. Try any spice mixes at all and sauces. At least if they had tried something creative, I would give them some credit, but the veggies inside were basically the leftovers from a veggie broth and tiny bits of raw tofu. I love bao and these were by far the worst I have ever had! The bao dough was dense and chewy (not fluffy), the filling did not work at all. We didn't finish the bao; they were not edible. I asked if it would be possible for us to get some soy sauce; the server said yes and instead just brought us a second dish of the dumpling sauce. If you don't have soy sauce, just say so. My glass was empty and nobody offered me another water. The service was horrible. The inside is brightly lit. From the outside, it's not easy to spot. The tables and chairs have an aesthetic that does not fit the style or cuisine. Unless they change their menu, I would not recommend Dumpling House, especially if you're a vegetarian or vegan. This was by far the WORST dumpling place I have ever been to. The food is not fresh. You'll have much better luck buying frozen bao and dumplings from an Asian food store or finding a different establishment. read more

Excellent food. If we had gotten takeout my review would have been higher. We chose to eat in their dining room and that experience is what brings the review to a 3. We arrived at 5:15 pm on a Saturday night. The dining room was full and we had about a 10 minute wait. Once we were seated it took 30 minutes to place an order among the two waiters overseeing the entire dining room. An issue that caused the bulk of our frustration. To get a taste of the many dishes they had to offer, we ordered the house buns, pork belly buns, beef brisket rice bowl, General Tso chicken, and chicken lo mein to share among the group. It took 20 minutes to receive the appetizer buns we ordered. Then another 30 minutes to receive the main dishes. The reason for which we could clearly see. They had a grand total of 1 Cook taking care of takeout and the dining room. Before I get into the other negative aspects of our visit I will say this. OG Dumpling house CAN COOK! The flavors were rich, the ingredients fresh, and the spices superb. From the dumplings to dessert this restaurant is busy for a reason. It's flavors are a much welcome change to the area that currently lacks authentic options. If you couldn't tell before by my earlier criticism is they have 2 glaring problems. This restaurant has the kitchen and staff for your typical takeout joint. Not a restaurant with a good size dining room, and what from what I could see a good takeout business as well. Now, If there are 2 waiters, waiting about 30 tables, then as you can easily ascertain there are 15 tables per waiter. It's no wonder we went the entire meal without a drink refill. They had 14 other families they were racing between. Not to mention they also had to then bus their own tables as well. They need more waiters to give their guests the proper level of attention. My wife and I were done eating our main course before my son even saw his main. That was also after asking a second time for his missing order. If you're looking for amazing food at college town prices, this is what you're looking for. As long as you're getting it to go... read more

Really glad we decided to come here last minute on a Sunday night. We ordered a bunch of different things like the shrimp tempura, scallion pancakes, pork/crab soup dumplings and beef/flat rice noodle wok dish. What was strange was that the first thing to come out was the main entree. No biggie but it would have been nice to get our apps first. The beef and flat rice noodle dish was delicious and the beef was super tender. My fiancé who is a pretty picky eater loved it too but we wished there was more beef. Shrimp tempura came with 3 decent size pieces, which was also very good and devoured in seconds. Scallion pancakes didn't have a ton of flavor and we didn't end up finishing it. Soup dumplings were sooo good. They took the longest to come out but the meat had great flavor and the crab wasn't overpowering. Only small complaint would be that the outer layer was super thin and was ripping when you picked it up so the soup was coming out before it got to your mouth. I brought home another order for my mom and her boyfriend, they loved it too. All and all we had a really nice time, the place was clean, the food came out fast and the service was friendly. We'll definitely be back to try more. read more
