What is with the hype? I've eaten here twice. The first time was about 2 years ago and it was mediocre to bad. For some reason I went back tonight to give it a second chance, and it was even worse than I remembered. Mother's Dumplings gets my vote for worst dumplings in the city. Overcooked, oversalted with none of that satisfying and delicious flavour and aroma that should be unlocked when you bite into a dumpling. Avoid this place unless you have no taste buds or you love paying to be disappointed and queasy at the end of a meal.
