"mother's dumplings is obviously a well loved toronto favorite. my toronto friends have been talking about it for years, the signed postcards tacked up on the walls show that customers can't live without it.. and when you go on their website,, \" no longer does our restaurant look like a hole in the wall\". \n\nwe tried pork and chive (to compare against family dumpling house, who yes, have copied many many many (ok most/all) aspects of mother's dumplings.)\n the vegetarian (bok choi, mushroom, tofu) \nand the pork shrimp and mellon, pan fried. \n\nthe wait was long, the decor was spadina street fancy styles, the dumplings were not aaaas delicious as family house dumpling. its hard to say if other variables are responsible for this.. the skin was not as thin on the dumplings, which took away from the filling, the pork and chive often had a bit too much of a grassy flavor. but i will say the vegetarian were some of the most flavorful vegetarian dumplings ive eaten ever. they obviously know what they are doing. come here and get full on dumplings. its the right thing to do."^^ . . .
