DO NOT ORDER ONLINE, JUST CALL. The website charges you an additional cost which you can skip just by calling ahead. Amazing atmosphere, tv is playing videos of cute animals as you talk/eat. Amazing food, I have yet to even try everything. Amazing workers, they're so polite and honest. Lovely place, pot stickers are my favorite go-to food in the area. Next door there's a lovely boba store so I can pick up both potstickers and for lunch. read more

Tasty Dumplings - Pork soup dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

Super cute spot with delicious dumplings and noodles. We went on a holiday weekend and it was busy at lunch but we got a table easily. It was a Sunday so the street parking was free which was an added bonus. We ordered 4 types of dumplings and one mala noodle bowl for three people and it was way more than enough food with lots of leftovers. What we got was the mala hot pot noodles with beef, pork soup dumplings, and three sets of the regular dumplings: chicken and corn, beef and flat cabbage, and pork soup dumplings. All were a hit with the noodles and chicken and corn dumplings maybe getting the most top votes in a very close contest. The dumplings came fried except the soup dumplings. Not sure if you can order them unfried but we loved them despite usually being fans of steamed or boiled dumplings. They did them in a kind of unique way that wasn't too heavily fried and had sort of a decorative crisp that you probably have to see to understand, but it was excellent. This was a lot of food as the dumplings are a full meal serving. But leftovers are worth it! The only drawback is the place is a little noising for a small place. If eating in with someone hard of hearing maybe pick a quiet time or seek a quieter spot. read more

Shocked at the high review scores for this joint. We drove 40 minutes for medicore and low flavor noodles. Service was strict. Street parking expensive. Noisy street with ambulances blaring every 5 minutes. Lots of seating, but they are strict. The best item was the pork and cabbage pot stickers. My partner is Chinese, and she was shocked at the quality. We got fried rice to take home, and did not check it... When we got home, the quality was horrid. Panda Express looked and tasted better. Not worth a trip for noodles. read more

I am no dumplings expert but I am an expert in consistent, cozy dining, and this is always it. We eat here whenever we are in need of sitting down and knowing everything we order will be top notch andtaste delicious. The dumplings are always juicy, whether they're the potstickers or the soup dumplings. I've had every flavor but the shrimp (due to an allergy) and each is delicious, my forever favorite being the beef and flat cabbage. You get eight of them, they're huge and plump, and I'm a big volume eater and rarely make it through them all. On the soup side, I've had all but the mini hot pot, but have never strayed from the simple and glorious beef udon. It's beef broth. Udon. Baby bok choy. Unparalleled cozy and consistent vibes, nice staff. The best place to warm up on a cold weekend afternoon in Lowell. read more

I did a to go order for the pork Xiao long bao (soup dumplings). I thought the price was a little steeper than other places I've been, but those are usually in Chinatowns so my perception might be a little skewed. The dumplings themselves were also bigger than what I'm used to, but the flavor was great. The dipping sauce was also delicious and paired perfectly with the dumplings! read more

My number one restaurant. I've come here so many times since the opening and it's a staple for soup dumplings and fried dumplings with the lace coat. It's super affordable and there's a great variety of options. These guys know how to make a dumpling. It's the best eats!!!! read more

Dumpling galore! We ordered takeout today -Shrimp Pork Chive Dumpling: tasty, flavorful but the filling looks smaller than it originally was and the price increased. -Chive Pocket: I think they changed how they make this. It had more flavor and was crispier before. I opened it in the car and it was already soft. Tasted completely different. -Beef Hot Pot: loved this! It hit the spot. Has beef slices, rice cake, tofu, bok choy, and noodles. Overall price went up but the quality went down quite a bit. 3 items came out to $45 read more

Delicious handmade dumplings- we had the special which had one of each kind of 8 dumplings- they were all so delicious! We also had scallion pancake (handmade- light, fluffy and crispy in all the right places). The mini hotpot was so good. The broth was fiery and flavorful, I dunked the scallion pancake and dumplings in the hotpot broth to sop up the deliciousness. Comfort food at its finest. We will be back! read more

Ordered out because I wanted to try the soup dumplings. They taste decently good, but I'm from San Francisco so it's hard to compare to what I'm used to. I also tried the spicy mini hot pot. It tasted good, but I felt like something was missing. My boyfriend enjoyed the braised pork belly and egg over rice. I'd consider trying other menu items, but I'm not sure the price is worth it for some things like the potstickers... read more

A go to spot for a good comfort dumpling nearby. This place is usually always pretty quiet so it's easy to get a table and there's street parking. The restaurant is a little cold so if you're planning to come now during winter keep that in mind. They have a clean bathroom and not too many workers, the workers there are more quiet but they are nice and attentive. We almost always get the same order every time we go but this time we decided to add on the pork mini skewers. They were just meat on a toothpick so I wouldn't say it's worth it for $9 it was also a little dry. The hot n sour soup is decent, I wish it was a little thicker though. Never stray away from your usual cause it will not disappoint with the pork and napa potstickers. You can never go wrong with the crispy sides they are the best part. The xiaolongbaos are another must, I'm not always a fan but I love the soup on this one, it's a good combo of sweetness and warmth. My absolute favorite is the spicy mini hotpot, this is perfect to share with another person. Usually get the medium spice which is just a little sting but not too strong where it's overpowering. The noodle choice is perfect and everything works all together. Note the bokchoy comes in the half cut bunch (so one bundle is cut in half) rather than pieces and it has a lot of cabbage. I've tried some of the stir fry noodles and they weren't my favorite, nothing special and didn't add much to the meal. The prices of this place have definitely gone up in the years with the hotpot being $15 and dumplings being $13 and $14. The total for everything was $57 but with leftover pan fried dumplings it's always enjoyable. My sister and I love to come to this place together and would recommend with these orders! read more

Excellent dumplings; very high quality ingredients. Parking tough, and seating is spare, but clean and pleasant. Highly recommend.

Hands down the best dumplings both fried and traditional bao we've ever had. We always go here for them. Everyone in the restaurant order one or both kinds as well. read more

I'm shockingly surprised that there's so many great reviews about the customer service. Waitress had an attitude when was asked for more spoons as we had a fried rice dish along with other items. She was not attentive if we needed anything during our dining. She was quick to clear our table as we were finishing up and gave us our bill. Bill was paid with a low tip for POOR service. As I was walking towards the door, she rushed over to me and demanded an extra $10 for tip! She also pointed to my wallet and said, "you have cash in there? You need to give me 10 more dollars" Truly embarrassing as she didn't deserve $1 to say the least. Spoke to a rep on the phone and complained and she confirmed that a tip is NOT MANDATORY and they would not ask for a specific amount for tip. If a tip was low, they would ask "How was the service?" This protocol was not followed through with this waitress. She just seeked for more tip. Will NOT be supporting this business anymore due to poor customer service. read more

This place is amazing. Best soup dumplings in MA, even better than ones I've had in NY, and their pot stickers are also great. Even their other dishes like their noodles (Beef shank, tendo & tripe noodle soup) are phenomenal. Cannot recommend more. read more

Tasty Dumplings continues to stay strong. I've tried so many different dumpling restaurants recently and Tasty Dumplings has so far been the best. They're consistently good. They hire great staff and are friendly. It's a great visit here every time we drop in. They have other items on their menu but these dumplings are the star of the show here. read more

I'm really torn about this place. The reviews are great and I wanted to give it a better rating but only one of the two of us was happy with what we got on this visit. I had the shrimp and pork dumplings stuffed with sticky rice, which were tasty. I wanted something else so ordered a side of white rice which was a big mistake -- it was clumpy rather than flaky as rice should be. My dining partner struggled with what to get -- I think she was imagining your typical Chinese restaurant fare, my bad for not prepping her -- and settled on a chicken, rice and vegetables dish. It came out room temperature so she sent it back to be heated. It came back hot but that didn't help; the bite-size chicken pieces were overcooked and rubbery, and the rice had no seasoning at all. It literally looked like white rice with chicken bits mixed in and a few rogue vegetables throughout. I don't get to Lowell often but I would return to try some of the other dishes, which looked good as I watched them served to other patrons -- dumplings, noodles, soups. It's a small place and there was a little bit of a wait for a table for two shortly before noon. They didn't want to seat us at the open table for four because it was the lunch rush. Fair, as there was a steady stream of folks coming in, so it seems to be a popular place. There are counters with high chairs but that wouldn't have been comfortable for us. Service was okay... the server was pleasant but rushed. My meal came out about 15 minutes after my companion's, not sure why. We walked over from the quilt museum so I can't comment on parking but it's in a not-too-busy part of town so I imagine it was fine. read more

Was so good. The hubs asked to go back the next day for lunch again since we'd be near by. I enjoyed the pan fried dumplings and my husband loved the general tso chicken. The service was quick and food came out just as fast during our visit. I can see why the place gets a good rating. The food is good. I've had soup dumplings in Chicago china town and it's been hard to find a great soup dumpling since. But I do appreciate the hand made dumplings and tender wrapper they use on their wontons we ate. They were perfect. Small quaint restaurant with cozy feel. This is a perfect stop during any cold day. read more

Came here for some comfort food. The corn soup was great during a rainy day. The noodle soup was also delicious and the flavors were good. Not too salty which tends to happen with this dish. The braised beef rice dish was also similar in tasting. Also easy to eat and not too salty. They had a lot of traditional Chinese items. Would definitely come again and try their other dishes! read more

Tasty dumplings name best describes this place. It's a smaller place that knows Korean food. The kimchi, and pork dumplings are delicious. A touch of spice with tender steaming pork hit the spot. They are of a good size and you get a decent amount. The spicy hot pot was so good. It's is spicy but not over powering. The cabbage and bok choy is had a bit to it. The beef was tender and full of flavor. read more

Thank you Tasty Dumplings for existing and serving up the best dumplings on the East Coast. I've been to you twice, had the pork soup dumplings and the Potsticker Treasure (a combo of all 8 of your homemade potsticker flavors) and the spicy mini hot pot. Everything was completely to die for. Not much more to say!!! read more

The dumplings in all forms are excellent. The soup dumplings are surprising, a bit messy, but delicious. The service is a little strange. The waitress spilled some of the dipping sauce on the table and half wiped it up with a quick swipe of some napkins. That's the kind of atmosphere of the place - bare bones. But the dumplings are worth it! No liquor license. No glasses for your drink unless you ask for them. read more

The place is very small inside, and was understandably very busy on a Saturday afternoon! BUT, worth the wait...such a treat to have house-made dumplings. Everything was delicious, and made me wish we lived closer...but will definitely be thinking about this the next time we are in the area... read more

I've been here several times and both were great! Very authentic feeling restaurant, it's small and homey. The soup dumplings are the star of the show and rightfully so, they're soft, juicy and warm. There's a fun selection of drinks that I'd never heard of which was cool. The service is fast and attentive, the outdoor sitting is cute as long as you don't mind a couple bees, which we didn't. I don't really recommend the hot pot unless you already love hot pot. Wish they gave us more rice cakes. I will tell you to try the dessert though, there were these sesame rice balls that I would literally go back weekly to get if I could. read more

My girl and I were really craving some dim sum. There was nothing in my area but we found this cute place in Lowell. It was clean and decorated well with plenty of seating and good lighting. There was street parking and we found a spot right in front. We shared some chicken skewers to start and they were yummy & decently portioned. They gave us soy sauce with ginger and it was a great dip for the chicken. She got a green tea and I got a peach oolong. They were both bottled but very tasty. We each ate an order of pork soup dumplings and they were so good! Each one had a good size piece of seasoned pork and lots of broth inside, and the dough was well made and cooked perfect. We ate them all! I was still craving something crunchy and the server suggested the sesame balls so we gave them a try, and they were another great choice! Yummy little fried balls that were crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy with red bean paste on the inside. Everything was reasonably priced and the service was excellent. I will definitely return when I crave dim sum again. read more

Can't say enough about Tasty Dumpling. People used to HUGE American/Chinese food menus may be surprised by the extent of this menu; but what they do well they do VERY well. I go here at least once a month, whenever I'm craving Chinese food. Something about the preparation feels more authentic; and something about the ingredients feels fresher. read more

I heard a lot of good things about this place and I was unimpressed after visiting. Tried the sampler potsticker and the presentation was not good. It felt like they were all pan fried and dumped outside down on a plate. They tastes doughy and the filling was just ok. Mala mini pot with fish was spicy and ok. Noodles with chicken had small pieces of chicken and was just ok. Service was good. There probably won't be a next visit to this place. read more

WOWZA this was an amazing find. Fish dumplings: Holy moly their potstickers are good. They serve it with the crust connecting the dumplings and I love it. These dumplings really are legit. Filling and wrappers are both on point. XLB: The xiao long bao are also PLEASANTLY surprising. The wrappers are just the right thickness. Not too thick, but not so thin that they break when you try to pick them up. Also, full of hot soup. Not the least bit dry. Filling was great. I might have just found my favorite XLBs in Massachusetts. Chive Pockets: It's hard to find these! Really nice to be able to order them here. They were delicious and come out PIPING hot. This place is freakin' amazing. Not only do they serve their own niche with a lot of menu items you can't find elsewhere, but they do it WELL. Their XLB were the most impressive to me. Really really excellent. I'm so sad that I live far away from Lowell, but I yearn for the day I return so I can taste another tasty dumpling. read more

Modern Asian restaurant specializing in dumplings, right in the center of Lowell. I was able to find parking right around the corner, which was convenient. One of the only places in the area I've been able to find soup dumplings that are tasty - yummy broth inside and dumplings had a thin skin. Beef noodle soup broth was average, but the beef was very tasty and tender. Spicy mini hot pot was spicy enough to make me sweat, big portion too with lots of variety inside. read more

The name says it all folks; these dumplings are TASTY. After looking around the area to see what can satisfy our lunch hunger, we stumbled on this spot located in the corner. We were very impressed with the selection and options of different dumplings, noodles, and rice. It was exactly what we were craving. We observed next to us something that looked good and it was the spicy mini pot. The spicy mini pot was delicious, especially with fish. My partner and I had eyes wide open at the flavors soaked in by the fish fillets. We also loved everything that came with it and especially the clear sweet potato noodles. It is quite spicy though! We handled the medium spicy well, but wondered what the mild tasted like. Soup dumplings were a must to try. We got the crab and pork ones. My partner commented he loved how there was so much soup in these dumplings. I realized there was too much onion in there for me to eat them (I'm allergic to chunks of onion). From what i could try (after picking out onions from whatever remained), the soup was flavorful and I could see why my partner liked it so much. Guess that worked out for my partner, who was stuffed after having almost the whole basket. If we weren't stuffing our faces already, let me tell you about the giant dumplings on their appetizer menu. Although it may look like you're paying a lot for dumplings, when they come out you see why. We loved the crunchiness of the cabbage and pork potstickers. They were also GIANT. My partner gave up on chopsticks and at them with his hands. I thought these actually went very well with the vinegar ginger sauce that comes with the soup dumplings. Again it worked out my partner got most of the soup dumplings and I devoured most of the cabbage and pork pot stickers. We have friends living in Lowell and can't wait to bring them and try more next time! read more
