House of Dumplings is an absolute treasure! Their dumplings are incredibly fresh, flavorful, and clearly handmade with care. Every bite is a delight, whether steamed or pan-fried. Beyond the dumplings, their other Chinese dishes are also excellent. This place is a must-visit for authentic and delicious food. Highly, highly recommend!
Great hole in the wall with authentic food at good value.
Green beans- delicious has fried tofu curd slices, which was a nice addition. Overall a bit salty but still well loved
Dumplings - excellent! Have been looking for a tong dumpling replacement since they closed, and this is my new favorite place
Hot and sour soup - pretty standard, decent size portion and had generous amount of ingredients (eg wood ear, carrots, tofu, egg)
Salt and pepper fish fillet- very unassuming and not dressed up dish, but, again, delicious
Green onion pancake- nice, thick, flaky style. Fried, so a bit oily but an absolute treat while hot
Xlb- decent, nothing to write home about but not bad
We came in pretty close to closing, but owner was nice and attentive.
My only complaint is that there was someone in the back / kitchen loudly sneezing, coughing, and clearing phlegm… which was a bit off-putting…
Anyway, still excited to come back and try more dishes. So happy to discover such a great local spot!
The best! Owner is friendly and sweet. Food is amazing.
I have been going here since I was a kid, I love this place, their dumplings, green onion pancakes and literally everything else is handmade and fabulous. I would make the drive 3 hours away every 4 months. It's worth it trust me
Yummy food!
This is a small family run restaurant with 5-6 tables. The hostess was very welcoming and friendly. The dimsums, dumplings, buns were all made fresh in the kitchen. It's a simple place, but the food is delicious and the quantity is ample.
Legendary!
I absolutely love this place! Everything we've tried here is spectacular. I particularly enjoy the green onion pancakes, Shanghai soup dumplings, and the steamed cream custard buns.
Food is tasty and portions are generous. Not your dining in restaurant but take out is a very good deal.
This place was the only place open on Christmas. I was able to get a delicious order of dumplings fresh and piping hot! I’m so grateful for this place. Whenever I call they already know my name! So sweet. They have the best soup dumplings and green onion pancake. Don’t bother wasting your time at other Chinese restaurants. Nothing but the best service and most delicious dumplings at House of Dumplings!

I love this place! Consistent Mom and Pop dim sum spot in an inconspicuous area. Instead of sitting in traffic, I suggest stopping off and enjoying dinner before you continue home. This is a quintessential hole in the wall that is very unassuming, but boy does it hit the spot.
Another option: they sell frozen apps! Pick up some frozen pork buns and go home and steam them yourself for dinner, you’ll be the popular one!
We got the XLBs, string beans, beef noodle soup (we asked to make it spicy), spicy dumplings, & 3 flavor dumplings. All 5 were delicious!
String Beans- tasty, garlicky, wok fried to perfection. Great side addition to our mains.
3 flavor- great taster’s item if you can’t decide what you want. All the dim sum are well portioned for someone hungry patrons so eat up!
Spicy dumplings- Amazing! The greatness of this dish is its simplicity: the pork and Napa cabbage dumplings with spicy chili crunch.
XLB- soup dumplings are pretty standard gout a dim sum place now, but the difference here is it tastes homemade!
Beef noodle soup- Excuse me??! Did you say top tier ? Thought so… a mix of canton style thick noodles, tender tender beef in a savory and tasty beef broth. Asked to make it spicy and it was indeed spicy! I loved every spoonful.
All in all, a great great spot that not too many people would ever think to stop by, but I assure you, you’d be missing out. Skip the lines of those other popular places and come here, you won’t regret it!

Great food. Very small (5-6 tables), great attentive service. Lots of dumplings, some Dim Sum. Salt and pepper fish was very tasty.
This is a small, nice, neighborhood plaza Chinese restaurant with a very authentic menu that more than just dumplings. They have many traditional dishes too. If there’s something you don’t see, ask and they may be able to make it.
The beef noodle soup and soup dumplings are my favorite. My brother loves the sesame noodles, which he can’t find most places.
Dine in seating is limited to five tables, but I’ve never had an issue getting a table. They are very accommodating.
I don’t know what it is, but they have the best jasmine tea. I usually bring a container and take any leftover tea.
Parking: Small, shared parking lot but rarely full
