Dumpling Time

My wife Rae and I love Dumpling Time — it’s our favorite spot for Saturday lunch. The food never disappoints, and Cedrick always goes above and beyond to take care of us. Amazing service, great vibes, and a place we’ll keep coming back to.

Giving 3 stars only because of the 6% living wage sur-charge. It is now becoming ridiculous - you pay 6% living wage sur-charge , 9% tax on top of that, and 18% tip on top of the combined bill. 33% just for taxes and tips.

I was under the impression tips are there to compensate for bad pay of the workers.

Crazy world we live in

It just feels that we are being taken advantage off.

This is the most boring and uninspired dim sum place I've ever eaten at. It feels like an overpriced, low quality imitation of the real thing. The food is bland, pricey, and has very small portions. The service is very slow even though there were only 1-2 other parties.

We waited on a sunday night to get sat about 20 mins, the host told us it was a 5 minute wait to get a table outside but it was not busy at all… we sat and looked at the menu and no one came to check on us or even give us drinks. My husband made eye contact with the manager and still no service. We ended up leaving. If you like being ignored and waiting for service this is your place.

The xiao long bao at this place is what I'd call the absolute best of the best! I particularly love the tomyum flavor, it’s my number one favorite, hands down.

The cafe also has an outdoor seating area that is quite romantic, I think it’s perfect for a date night or a casual meal with friends.

The staff here is very friendly, I bought a cake and asked for a candle to celebrate my friend's birthday, and they were incredibly supportive and helpful. They also offer free water with refills, which is a nice bonus.

Will definitely be back!

I only ordered a couple of items. So can’t fully judge the food. But the ear mushroom appetizer and veg dumplings were good. They were extremely short staffed though. So staff were doing their best but super short handed.

There is a reason this restaurant is almost always empty. They have one or two waitress and it takes awhile till they take an order. Then it takes awhile till you get the order. Food is moderate to say the least. There are lot of Oriental places around to eat - go there.

Had pork XLB, potstickers, and green beans and they were all excellent. They have three flavors of sweet bao buns and those were pretty good, the taro one didn’t taste like much but I still liked them. Servers were nice :)
