Visited from NYC. Never had dumplings like this before. Wow- the flavor was out of this world. The dumplings are bathed in a chili oil sauce and garnished with what I’m assuming was cilantro. I ordered the roast pork belly and the shrimp + chicken. The belly was infinitely superior in flavor. Both orders good but that roast pork belly was so delicious and flavorful. Textures were on point, temperature was hot and fresh. Seasoning, portion, and flavor-to-protein ratio was great, nothing felt skimped and everything hit the taste palette efficiently. I’d love if they opened up a location up north, they’d make a fortune. 10/10

Awesome food! Dumplings were very good (steamed and fried) and noodles were delicious. Watch the spice level ratings.

First time at The Dumpling Lady and the food was good! The sweet pork belly dumplings were perfect! I will def be getting those again, they're spicy tho so if you can't handle spice beware! Also tried the shiitake chicken stew noodles. They were also good but not as flavorful as the dumplings, I would probably try the pork or beef noodles next time!

For what it was and the taste, save your money and go to a dumpling house like Sun Kitchen. The dan dan noodles were just okay and wonton’s in chili oil were bad, no flavor other than hot, mushy dough and no filling. Hard pass, not worth a second try. Also, the staff were really unfriendly. Placed a mobile order, they never texted so when I walked up to ask about the food being ready she just shoved a bag at me. I mentioned that the texting part of their order process wasn’t working and she just turned away. I REALLY loved the helpful and friendly demeanor….
To those about to nosh, look elsewhere!

Ohhhh how I love her Sweet Pork Belly dumplings. They have the most delectable and delicate thin wrappers with copious amount of meat that is moist and packed with flavor. Each bite is an explosion of chilling oil, onion, and five spice which plays well with the sweet pork belly. Its cute and cooked so its not greasy or crispy but succulently moist. I also order the classic Dan Dan which isn't too spicey but has a nice kick. I came during dinner and received these huge portions. I typically get the lunch portion which is more than enough to satiate my hunger. I forgot how l massive the regular portions are. I had some left for lunch the next day. Its great to share too.

Some of the best food I've ever consumed and I wish they would open a location in Gastonia, NC.

The girl working last night at the counter was so rude I would never recommend anyone go there. Horrible attitude! I’ve gone many times over the years, always recommend to friends but I would not go back. She’s terrible and gives a miserable service when I tried spending $60 worth of food. Absolutely HORRIBLE service.

Food is probably good, but its so spicy we can’t taste anything after the first bite. If you reduce the hot spices I would appreciate!!
