Tried the Dumpling Haus last week for the first time on my 10-year old daughter's recommendation, since the other restaurant we wanted to go to was closed for the month of February. My daughter told me these were the BEST dumplings EVER!
As much as I love her and want to trust her opinion, she wasn't right about this. Maybe their dumplings are appealing to 10 year olds, but the prices are nuts. One small bowl of wonton soup for her, one bowl of the Haus noodles for me, and one bowl of edamame that we shared for an appetizer = $23.00. Put on a decent tip ($4.00) and that's $27 for not much food.
The wonton soup was tasty with a very light but flavorful broth. The Haus noodles, which I ate with beef, was mediocre. I requested rice vinegar and added chili paste to give it some flavor. The proportion of noodles to broth was very high. Maybe they should call it a noodle plate instead of a noodle bowl. There was maybe 2 ounces of beef added to the bowl. The beef looked and tasted like it was thickly sliced processed lunchmeat.
I really wanted to like this place since the owners ran the former Yen Ching near the intersection of Midvale Blvd and the Beltline for many years, and the food there was consistently good and the prices were reasonable. I don't care how much my daughter begs me, but I will not be returning to the Dumpling Haus. She can beg her dad to take her there on the days she is with him.
