Dumpling Specialist offers great food at a great price, making it a favorite for many. Highlights include the chili oil wontons, savory soy soup, sticky rice roll, steamed pork and cabbage dumplings, and pork & preserved vegetable stir-fried rice cakes. While some dishes like veggies and other dumplings are just okay, the overall experience is fantastic. The restaurant is small, cozy, clean, and well-lit, with quick and efficient service. Regulars recommend the beef, fish, and vegetable dishes, along with the must-have fantuan. The indoor seating has reopened, and now they accept credit cards with a processing fee. Vegetarian options are available, and the green beans are amazing. The restaurant is known for its dumplings, including the Shanghai Dumplings and xiao long bao, which have super thin skin and flavorful meat. The sticky rice roll, shrimp chow mein, and pan fried pork buns are also worth trying. Customers appreciate the fast service and solid food, making it a great place for comfort food.
