After reading all the reviews on Yelp I was exciting to try Mothers Dumplings and ordered take out yesterday for myself and a co-worker. To my dismay, I was surprisingly disappointed.
Here is what went wrong:
~ The dumplings did not wow me but rather 'meh'
~ There were barley any shrimp in my shrimp dumplings and WAY too many, and large unpleasant chive chunks (I felt I was just eating chives and random pieces of noodles the entire time) -1 star
~ The service was terrible! When I went to pick up the food, I was a little alarmed that the dumplings I ordered were in a green wrapping (boiled shrimp, chive and egg) so I preceded to ask the man who gave me my food if they were what I had ordered. However, he pretended he did not know English or what I was asking him about! This was bothersome because not 2 min before he was speaking English not only to ME but to the gentleman in front of me paying -1 star
~ I had a horrible stomach ache after and felt terrible for the remainder of the day -1star
Overall, I had my expectations crushed in a bad way. Being a dumpling place on Spadina I will definitely be going somewhere else next time. It may take me a while to want to give this place another try...
