I've been to the New Dumpling House several times in the past and recently went with a friend on a Sunday early evening. The restaurant was completely empty other than those working there and one guy who came in to pick up take-out as we were on our way out. The atmosphere in the restaurant is underwhelming and actually makes the overall experience a bit unappetizing as does the fact that there are bowls of crispy wonton strips and uncovered containers of duck sauce and hot mustard out on every every table which made me question how fresh and sanitary that is. My friend ordered green beans with brown sauce which was tasty but she ordered it medium spicy and it had no kick to it whatsoever. I ordered vegetable pad thai but asked if I could also add tofu and the server said yes. I also ordered it medium spicy. My dish was bland and the noodles were undercooked. The only "vegetables" in it were some shredded carrots and a small handful of what appeared to be canned mushrooms, which I picked out. Overall the experience was just okay. I would return if I was in the neighborhood and someone suggested it but will not make a special trip to eat there again. My rating is actually more like 2.5 stars, but I'm feeling generous.
