| - I came here with my friends visiting from New York because one of them was told by their NYC colleagues that she must have dumplings in Chinatown. Honestly, I have not explored as much of Chinatown as I should have because I live in Markham, but when I did my research, Dumpling House came up on top!
Located on Spadina just north of Dundas, Dumpling House is a small restaurant, but with speedy service, even if there was a queue for tables, I reckon turnovers would be quite quick. My friends and I came here for dinner after a late lunch. The five of us ordered steamed dumpling, fried dumplings, fried onion pancakes, shrimp fried rice and shanghai noodles.
My friends thought the food were really good, but I thought it was just okay. The "steamed" dumpling looks boiled. The fried dumpling was drenched in oil. However, the other dishes were pretty decent, but considering it's called Dumpling House, their dumplings should be perfect, alas it is not, but it's not bad.
While service was speedy, we also felt as if we were being rushed out because when we finished our food, we were immediately given the bill. What if we had wanted to order more food?
If you're looking for super authentic dumplings, I don't think this is it, but if you're looking for quick and fairly cheap food, then by all means, go to Dumpling House.
