GONE! CLOSED! Different dumpling place now called: Dumpling House. Looks lame. Run of the mill dumplings vs the crazy good Monster ones. Not worth the trip nor inflated mall prices:/
My wife, who is Cantonese, gives Dumpling Monster a big thumbs up. Dumpling Monster offers dumplings in two basic styles, steamed and fried. The filling choices are pork, chicken, shrimp and vegetable. While she says they are machine wrapped, they taste excellent. The fillings are fresh, the tastes are not overpowering, and there isn't too much salt or oil. Many folks have complained about the taste, but you need to use the sauces provided...that is traditionally what they are for. As for the prices, they are moderate. Quite a bit of labor goes into making the fillings actually. Orders are placed by touchscreen, which personally I think hurts customer perceptions of service for any business that uses them...they make service seem impersonal.
Vegetarian options: There are vegetable filled dumplings here.
Kid-friendliness: Kids like dumplings! Easy to handle and eat.

I ordered pork fried dumplings and shrimp boiled dumplings. They both tasted like they came from a Costco frozen bag of dumplings. It was also very overpriced... $12 for 6 dumplings that taste like they came from a frozen bag. As a Chinese person I would not recommend it to anyone. Two stars because the food came fast.

My honest review, do not waste your money in this place, better buy dumplings in cosco and fried them, they are so small I don’t know what they called monster if they are the smallest.

Way overpriced for dumplings that taste like they came right out of the microwave. Steamed dumplings had dry/tough spots. Absolutely no flavor. It took 58 minutes to receive an order of dumplings. Went to the counter and poor customer service. Guy just stated “ yeah we are backed up”. I wish I would have gotten my money back.

Sub standard dumplings with tough parts. Very disappointing. Sauce was ok and improved the bland dumplings. Bummer!!

Ordered dumplings. Taste was ok. Way overpriced for what you get. Not very filling and didn’t tastes too fresh. Skin is tough for a “steamed” dumpling. I should have read the reviews for this location :-/

The food is ridiculously overpriced, and the displays are misleading. The pictures that are shown on the order kiosk are steamed dumplings; they look like bao or soup dumplings or something along those lines. Instead, I received gyoza/potsticker like dumplings that had clearly been reheated and were no better than anything you can by frozen at the store. I ended up spending $14 on something I could have easily made better at home for a fraction of the price. Do not eat here. The service was good though, no hate to the employees who have to serve this food.

Pretty bad dumplings. Tastes rubbery with no love. I feel bad leaving a 1 star. because the people were nice but place wasn’t great at all. Store bought ones are better.

This is by far the WORST dumpling quality I’ve ever experienced. As if they’re reheating frozen dumplings and serving them in a box. Stale, dry and tastelessness. Overpriced as well. $32 for 2x 7 pc. And the pieces were tiny as well.
Just absolutely terrible I wouldn’t give this to a homeless person.
