My experience here was not very good. The food I ordered was not satisfactory and the service subpar. However, I believe this was almost certainly an anomaly. The owner courteously and professionally contacted me following my initial negative review, genuinely concerned about my experience. Also, friends have said they love this place. So, while my experience was bad, I'd give it another shot.

Broccoli cheddar dumplings were super good! Great for quick bites on a night out or even just when you're in the mood for fried dumplings or soup.

Great Fried Dumplings. Dont get them steamed! The French Onion Soup Dumplings are absolutely amazingly delicious!!!

Great noodle bowls, especially the roast pork bowl and chicken marsala special!

These dumpling are always so flavorful. The honey chipotle chicken were amazing. The cashiers was very friendly and our food came out quickly. Great to dine in or take out.

Humpty's first had me at Dumplings. And whether you go with steamed or fried you end up with succulent balls of perfection that are the best that you won't find in Chinatown or dim sum spots. Humpty's puts a bit of an Americanized twist on the dim sum classic, which actually kind of works since it gives you options like broccoli & cheddar and honey chipotle chicken. And since its in South Philly you'd best believe that they have a cheesesteak dumpling! My favorite though is definitely the Asian pork with perfectly cooked pork shoulder highlighted by classic ginger, soy, and scallions. No matter what you choose, grabbing 5 for $7 makes for the perfect mix and match meal. Especially when they have seasonal dumplings that include a dessert option. But non-dumpling lovers will also find solace in their noodle and salad options.

Delicious every time i come here.

Example: You guys are goood. Let's take some food service Philly Steak, deep fry it like it's an egg roll and then call it a dumpling. THEN, let's make Chinese Pork Alfredo, slap it all in a box only Chris Tucker would love and then send this mess to someone you should'nt have. Long live the trust fund hipster turned yupster fund on this crap.

I don't know if I've ever left a restaurant and just kept saying, "I can't believe that was so bad. I can't believe that place is still in business." I'm all for trying new combinations of foods and flavors, even hipsterndoofhi food like this. But this goes way beyond just hipster garbage. The dumpling was still cold in the middle after being fried. The "asian" noodle bowl had nothing Asian about it. It came out covered in parmesan cheese, was so salty it was barely edible (and I like lots of salt), and and was covered in some sauce that was as thick as glue. On top of that, the woman running the place looked like she had been babysitting a sick infant in the back - exhausted, bedraggled, and covered in stains. I NEVER leave reviews, good or bad. THAT is how bad this meal was. I felt sick the rest of the day. What a waste of $20. Never again.
Food came fast (that's what she said) but was not very good dumplings at all I had the broccoli and cheddar, philly cheese steaks, and last but not the best the buffalo chicken

I had bookmarked Humpty's Dumplings such a long time ago that I had honestly forgotten it even existed until I walking past it on a Wednesday afternoon. I'm not in Queen Village too often so I figured this was the perfect opportunity for me to check it out. The establishment is pretty small so just a few steps in the door and I was at the counter. It was then that I noticed a sign for "$1 dumplings on Wednesdays" - woo! Am I glad I stopped in or what! The guy behind the counter was super friendly. I asked him for recommendations on which dumplings to get and he was quick to respond with simple and helpful feedback. I ended up bringing four different dumplings home with me - Buffalo chicken, cheesesteak, honey chipotle chicken and pizza. The first three are on their favorites menu while the last one is one of their current specials. After selecting your dumplings, you are given a choice of fried or steamed. I thought all of the dumplings were delicious, but the cheesesteak was definitely my favorite! Philly, represent! :D The buffalo chicken and honey chipotle chicken were close seconds, while the pizza was just okay. In my opinion, it tasted more just like a cheese dumpling than a pizza dumpling. All in all, I'm very content with my experience at Humpty's Dumplings. I probably won't be rushing back here anytime soon simply because I'd like to avoid the fried food temptations. However, for those days that I'm not counting cals, I'll return for some cheesesteak dumplings!

My son, granddaughter and I stopped in to try the dumplings. Although the dumplings were good, the customer service was horrible. The young man at the register was on his phone and we walked in not even a hello. The young lady in the kitchen had a very short t shirt which should not be around food. Not friendly at all.

I stumbled on this cute little place across Philly AIDS Thrift one Wed evening and decided to give it a try. I'm a senior on a fixed income so their $1 Wed special was a definite enticement for me. I was a bit confused, I was thinking of dumplings of old that my mother made as "chicken and..." but I decided to try the mixed root veggies and the apple dumplings dusted with cinnamon. Both were very tasty and I will definitely return. The staff was courteous and patient with me. The place is clean and has an eclectic vibe.

If dumplings are what you want then DUMPLINGS are what you're gonna get. They have some salad & sandwich options, but the stars of the show are obviously the dumplings. My roommate and I stopped by to get takeout as we were passing by one day. I got the Asian pork dumplings steamed, YUM. They're not very big and I inhaled them (not sure I even actually chewed them). There was no one else in the restaurant at the time so our order was done super quickly. If you're driving be prepared, parking is very limited. I jumped out and my roommate circled the block while I got our food. That area of South Philly can be challenging for parking.
