| - Scarborough, Friday Night with hunger pains and Yelp on my Blackberry, The SO and I end up at Dumpling Restaurant.
The patrons were mostly Chinese, although there were some Korean offerings on the menu. Banchan was bean sprouts and Kimchi, the kimchi clearly brought in - not fresh and too salty for my liking. (missed the excellent Kimchi from Owl, or House of Soon)
The server was unbelievably sweet. We clearly ordered way too much and she came over to let us know how large the portions are and helped us take some things off of our list. One order of dumplings is comprised of 14 and costs $4.99. We were thinking 5 bucks would give us 8 dumplings at best and ordered 4 full orders.
Tea was hot and very good.
We sampled steamed veggie and steamed assorted pork dumplings, Northern style Tofu skin with hot pepper (vegetarians take note, there were crumbled bits of meat on top) and snow pea shoots with garlic. The dumplings were a little oily, and my SO commented that the pork was extremely fatty. The veggie were very bland, lacking something, and they did not provide ginger with the Chinese vinegar, which I really missed.
The dumplings were clearly made in house, and just soo cheap.
2 Stars, for the quality of the food, 1 full star for the service and the unheard of 14 dumplings for $4.99. Cash Only.
