After continually hearing hype surrounding Mother's, I caved in an hit them up with my gf. I found that although we were seated very quickly, there was a huge delay with taking our order and serving our order. We waited ~10 mins for the first and 20-25 mins for the latter. I understand that they are hand making their dumplings, but really 20 mins for both pan fried and steamed dumplings is excessive considering their competition at dumpling house doesn't seem to suffer this issue.
I found the food to be on the salty side and quite bland (salt used to cover up the lack of taste or did the salt cover up the subtle tastes...?) We ordered the pan fried onion pancake, pan fried vegetable dumplings, and steamed beef and greens dumplings.
Honestly I can not justify returning to mother dumplings when an alternative is located really close by which has better service and food.
