The lowest of low quality food. I want to see an ingredient list of what they use for the general gaps chicken sauce. It looks like they use glue. I’ve never had sauce that was so goopy and stuck together like this does. Over priced for the quality you get. 50$ got me fake chicken with glue sauce, white rice and crab rangoons

Food is average, pricey for portions and quality. Interior was old and outdated.
The food tasted greasy and off and I got food poisoning from it.

Dumpling House is a great hidden gem in a little strip mall on Walnut street in Newton. There was plenty of parking. Restaurant appeared very clean. Staff was friendly. The menu is huge. Mostly authentic Chinese dishes. Not your typical American style Chinese food. The food tasted extremely fresh and full of flavor. I started with a small hot and sour soup with shredded pork. It was large enough for two people. Very traditionally prepared with wood ear mushrooms, golden needles, tofu, pork, scallions. It had a very nice complex flavor with a big kick that would clear out anyone's sinuses. Soup was delicious! My first appetizer was the jellyfish with garlic. This was like a salad with the jellyfish cut in thin strips with a solid but not chewy texture. The dish also had cucumbers, carrots, sesame seeds and plenty of garlic. Delicious! Next I had one of my favorites appetizers. Crispy fried pig intestines! If you have never had this, step outside your box. The outside is crispy with a texture like bacon and the inside is a soft moist delicious pork flavor. This dish is amazing! For my entrée I had to go with the pork and crab soup dumplings. These were full of soup, flavor and makes the whole trip worth it! Soooo good! If you are looking for quality food that's different from the American PuPu platter, check this place out. I can't wait to go back!

I arrived at 8 pm and sign on door says open until 930 pmWas told dining area was closed even though people were eating. Lady who greeted me was abrasive. I will not return. Other places to spend money.
Chicken did not taste fresh.

Got takeout on New Years Eve in the early evening. Ordered General Gao's, Chicken Fried Rice, and Beef Dumplings. Severely disappointed with my order. The fried rice was just plain white rice with chicken and a few stands of shredded greens mixed in. The General Gao's chicken was so tough I couldn't finish it. The dumplings were ok, but not good enough for another visit. It's too bad, since I live down the street.
