My quest to find a place that serves good soup dumplings in Toronto continues, and Mother's dumplings is NOT it. The soup dumpling here is too salty and lacks flavor, the meat is also to "grainy", super disappointed. Dough was also too soggy.
The regular boiled shrimp with napa cabbage dumplings are great though, the boiled shrimp dumplings have a great dumpling skin, not too thick and has a bit of a chew, so for this it is more a 4 stars (could do with a bit more filling). The boiled pork dumplings are ok as well, but nothing to write home about.
Overall, from what I have experienced the boiled dumplings are pretty good but super disappointed in the soup dumplings (my fav type).
