  • I rarely take location into account when drafting my Yelp reviews. Good for is worth a bit of a trek. But location is a key selling point for Beijing Dumplings (BD), an otherwise mediocre dumpling joint that just happens to straddle the Dim Sum Black Hole that is the Bay-Yonge corridor. Sure, there are a few fast food joints along the way, and a trip just a bit west along Dundas yields plenty of Chinese Food finds. But sometimes I'm caught just North of the Eaton Centre on business, and need to get my dumpling on. On these occasions, I'm glad BD is there for me. Service is pleasant and welcoming. On entry I'm waved to the closest empty booth, and presented with a glass of fragrant green tea. Servers hover unobtrusively; generally leaving me alone unless I get their attention (which is a good thing over a working lunch). I order pan fried pork dumplings and, since I'm fighting a cold, a hot and sour soup. The soup runs less than two bucks, but even at that price it's a disappointment. Slightly sour, it needs an infusion of soy sauce for flavour and in a first (for me, anyway), a few spoons of chills in oil to reach something approaching "hot". I wait, and wait, and wait for dumplings. I'd be annoyed, but I've got a bit of time, and I'm grateful for the quiet. Dumplings eventually arrive. One bite, and I think "aha, so this is where the lost salt from my soup went). Soy sauce, they don't need-but writing them off for saltiness would be unfair. These dumplings have excellent porky flavour, tender greenery and delightfully crisped, chewy wrappers. I have to pact myself lest I inhale the whole dozen. Instead it takes me a few breaths. I might consider adding a star, but for two concerns: 1) the bathrooms are filthy filthy dirty, and 2) maybe it's because I was seated in front of the open kitchen, but DAMN this place is hot. The food wasn't anywhere close to fiery, but I left drenched in sweat. Not the best way to go back to work. Are these the best dumplings in Toronto? Nope. But if you can't be with the dumplings you love, love the dumplings you're with.
