Chen's Dumpling House may look small, but don't be fooled - it's a world of deliciousness! The pork and chive dumplings are fantastic. Perfect for a late-night meal before hitting State Street, with Shu Mai and Steamed Buns recommended. The food is above average, especially for Madison/WI. Additional seating upstairs offers a nice view. Quick service and open late, it's one of the best options in the area. Customers praise the restaurant for its fun and inexpensive atmosphere, calling it a little hole-in-the-wall joint. The river snail soup (luosifen) and custard buns are highly recommended for their great taste and reasonable prices. One customer declared it might have the best shumai they've ever had, even compared to Hong Kong. The kim chi is described as super fresh, homemade, and the best they've ever tasted, with many ordering extra to enjoy throughout the week. Noodles are good but a bit bland, though adding spices from the side helps. The minced meats are also praised. Overall, the quick, friendly service and good portion sizes make Chen's Dumpling House a favorite in the area.
