My husband and I visited this restaurant for the first time tonight. The hospitality and service was amazing from start to finish. The prices are very reasonable. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the pork and shrimp dumplings. My husband had the fried chicken. The food was very delicious and satisfying. Thank you for making us feel so welcome.

This place is delicious! It is also the only restaurant we have been able to find actual soup dumplings at short of driving to Orlando. The price is great, inside is very quiet with plenty of seating, and food is delivered super quick. Everything about this place is awesome and it is one of my new favorites

Dietary restrictions: Seems to have plenty of gluten free options, maybe not if cross contamination is an issue. Staff is very friendly though and may be able to assist on request.

Like the hula hoop, pet rock and pogs of yore, dumplings are the new rage sweeping the nation. I could utilize an ignotum per ignotius to explain the origin of the dumpling; however, suffice it to say they can be found in every culture on the planet in one shape or another. We are all familiar with comfort food, such as chicken and dumplings, and have been exposed to gyoza or pot stickers.

Katrina is the service pro, and she did a fantastic job despite being the sole service provider in a busy restaurant. I asked Katrina for some Beef-Fried Dumplings, Shanghai-steamed dumplings, and crispy-stinky tofu. Considering she was the only waitstaff visible, my order was up quickly. This told me the kitchen staff was pumping on all cylinders like a well-oiled machine.

First up on the Big Boy's picky palate was a taste of the Beef-Fried Dumplings. The interior was tender, flavorful, and pleasant on the palate, and the exterior was fried to golden, crunchy perfection. This was a great dish.

Moving on to the Shanghai Steamed Dumplings, also known as Soup Dumplings, I found these to be filled with a delectable concoction of flavors like their fried counterparts. They were steamed to perfection and delightful in taste. Scrumptious! So far, they were batting 1000.

This brought me to the final item I ordered and tasted for review (my companions also ordered, and even though I include the pictures, I have no idea what they ate, though I assume it was just as good as mine): the Crispy Stinky Tofu. This is why it's a 4 and not a 5-star review. I've had authentic Crispy Stinky Tofu in NYC and while this is close, it's not what I had in NYC. It was cooked perfectly and incredibly delicious; it just wasn't properly stinky.

The Big Boy says, “Go ahead and jump on the bandwagon. You won't be let down at Dumpling King.”

We went in a party of 6 & the service was incredible from the jump! We didn't get the hostess name but she was very sweet. Phat was our server & he was very informative & extremely nice the entire time! The vibe just made everyone's first experience so enjoyable. The soup dumplings are excellent! The chicken was fried to perfection & the honey sauce was very unique! I've never had a Boba smoothie so that was also exciting to try ( and super yummy!) We can't wait to come back :)

Dumplin sauce holders and napkin holders on the tables were cute. Customer service was great. The food was just OK. I've had dumplings other places and It had more flavor so I was a little disappointed. Had the Shanghai style dumplings (steamed) and chives, pork and shrimp, steamed dumplings. the Boba tea was not impressing, choose the mango milk tea.

Let’s first start off with, when you first walk in…the ambiance and mood are set! The place is classy and beautiful. The service was amazing, we were greeted right when we walked in the door, and immediately shown to our table. Our whole family strongly recommends the Shanghai Style dumplings!! They are worth the drive from Orlando!! WoW!! Everything we had was amazing!!

The shrimp in the spicy dip dish was bland, the chicken wings were awesome, we love spicy food and ordered the spicy dip choices but the medium heat was too hot for us. Overall great place and worth coming back knowing what we know now when ordering heat level :)
