I was really excited when I heard this spot opened up in southie, but I was disappointed. They do have some interesting menu items, so I have ordered from here multiple times to try a little bit of everything. I really wanted to give dumpling daughters a chance, but I had a mediocre experience each time.
For the amount of food you get and for the flavor of the food, it is overpriced. I tried the pan seared pork + napa cabbage dumplings and petit chicken dumplings in sesame sauce, which were both decent in flavor. However, the portion size was very small--I was still hungry even after paying $20 for the food.
I also tried the dan dan mien and the grandma's beijing meat sauce over noodles. Both dishes were okay--a little on the sweeter size. If I were to order from here again, I would probably order a noodle dish. I also tried the steamed roasted bbq pork bun, which was also very sweet. I was not a fan of this dish. In general, my experience with the food was the more I kept eating, the less I liked it.
I also tried the thai ice tea boba and mango boba. I would not recommend the mango boba, it was very very water down.
The space itself has a nice ambiance and the staff are also friendly. I mainly did pick up orders to which the food would be ready within 5 to 15 minutes, so it's quick service. I would recommend you order ahead. Based off the price and mediocre quality, I don't think I will return here again.
