I really wanted to like this place. Finally, a dumpling place in the Yonge/Bloor area. Close to work. Would have made a great lunch spot.
Unfortunately, I just could not bring myself to give Dumpling Queen more than 2 stars after my latest visit. My friend and I ordered the steamed lamb dumplings, the pork and cabbage fried dumpling, and the onion pancake. All dishes that a dumpling restaurant should excel at. All missed the spot.
Overwhelmingly, the dishes were too salty. All I could taste from the two dumpling dishes was salt. I may have tasted a "hint" of lamb in the lamb dumplings, but the saltiness overpowered its flavour. The fried dumpling was completely unmemorable but for the salt. Onion pancake, a disaster. Thick and tasteless - I felt like I was eating a wad of dough, pressed flat and then fried.
Looks like I will need to continue on my hunt for a better lunch place in the area.
