U Dumpling House Framingham

Westbound, hungry, and driving through an unusually slow traffic, it was only a matter of time before my itching fingers and fiendishly famished stomach determined the next course of action. Swerved off the next exit, pulled up a list of nearby restaurants, rerouted, and floored it. Fudge it. Hungry. Don’t care. Hungry. Just drive like another M@$$hole and get this nonsense over with.

U Dumpling House had immediately caught my attention. I couldn’t recall where I had read about it but it was positive. Now that it’s just a few minutes away from where I was, why the heck not? Dimsum and soup dumplings? Can’t go wrong right? Then again, I don’t ever remember anyone this hungry complain about anything in the moment until *way* after the meal…

So I rapidly ordered away like it was my last meal before I met my maker. Stuck to the usual choices to see their take on classic dim sum dishes. Best part? Food didn’t take long at all to trickle in straight from the kitchen (no dim sum cart here, as expected).

While the preparation was slightly different from what I’ve been accustomed to for the last few decades, I found their style both pleasant and tasty. At least, most of it was…and I would have given them 5 stars easily if it wasn’t for a few missteps that I can’t let slide.

Dry Sautéed String Beans. As good as your version is…the word “dry” means a particular technique that does not involve blanching the beans. I expected something but received something else. That one step has a different texture and matters to those who know this dish well. Moreover, I expected the soup dumplings, which you are famous for, to stand out. I can’t say it did and that’s me being nice.

Anyways, I definitely recommend anyone in the immediate area craving Chinese food or dim sum to at least try them out once. You may end up being one of those several regulars there that day that obviously frequent this place.

Super delicious! It’s Taiwanese taste! Highly recommended, the taste is moderate. I really didn’t expect that we have such a high-level Chinese restaurant here. I am very touched. I hope it can be maintained and don’t change chefs randomly! Please!
The only drawback is that the snacks are not hot enough!
(Unlike many Chinese restaurants that use a lot of soy sauce, which makes it dark and salty!)

This is our new "go-to" restaurant. The food is fantastic, as is the service, and it helps that the owner/manager speaks Mandarin since my wife is Chinese. Highly recommend this restaurant ?

Service has some growing pains with much more business than it was prepared for, but considering the other places with the same owner, it will adjust quickly. The soup dumplings are fantastic, and they are not easy to get right or served anywhere else within 15 miles.

The food is quite good, if you order the right items. For vegetarian dishes, I'd recommend the Vegetarian Delight but there are many options. Also, if you enjoy Sichuan-style food, this place is so much better than the ever crowded restaurant across the street, Sichuan Gourmet, in terms of value and cleanliness.
