  • "It's irony when "Dumpling" is in the name of the restaurant and the dumplings they serve are just so awful... right?" That's what my wife and I were lamenting to each other after our first and only visit to the New Dumpling House. With a craving for dim sum, my family and I set out for Squirrel Hill to check out the special weekend menu at New Dumpling House. Boy, were we disappointed. We had very high hopes with a special dim sum menu only offered on Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons. With items of names we recognize like siu mai, fried bean curd roll (with shrimp even!), red bean buns and on and on. Service was a bit odd. The place for a Saturday lunch service wasn't all that busy. There were 2 servers for the restaurant with only about 3 or 4 tables taken up. We could not understand why it took so long for our waiter to greet us, get us a dim sum menu and then for the food to arrive. There were crispy noodles with sweet and sour sauce and hot mustard already on the table when we arrived. Totally a throw back to the 70s and 80s for me going to the Chinese restaurant in our neighborhood. The crispy noodles that were free with our meal was probably the 2nd best thing on our table according to my wife - I totally agree. When the crispy noodles were gone, the food arrived. And again, it was a huge disappointment all around. Here's how it all went down: * siu mai - microscopic portions of 4 dumplings, tasted just a little bit off which is not good considering it's pork and shrimp. * steamed BBQ pork bun - the wrapper just looked plastic - my wife tells me the filling was good. * steamed red bean bun - the filling was OK, wrapper was a problem * sichuan dumplings in hot sesame sauce - the dumpling filling was good, the wrapper had the consistency of mucus and the "hot sesame sauce" was basically creamy peanut butter. * crispy bean curd roll - the shrimp was a surprise, but this was by far the only decent thing we ordered. It wasn't great enough to have us come back, but at least something was decent. Though we were lured in with the promise of dim sum with a special menu and all, we left New Dumpling House $20 lighter. The price was right but we won't be returning. The search for dim sum in Pittsburgh rolls on...
