MR says ...Next time, I'm planning to explore their sushi menu--especially the sashimi and rolls. Looking forward to seeing how those measure up!
MRS says ...We were curious to try Dumpling Garden, especially since we've been to Handmade Dumpling on Johnson Ferry and wanted to see how this spot compares.
First up, the "sausage" fried rice caught my eye--I was hoping for Chinese sausage, but it turned out to be more of a hotdog-style Vienna sausage. A bit of a letdown, but the fried rice itself had that smoky, charred wok flavor I love, which definitely made up for it.
As for the dumplings, I'll let the kids be the real critics--they're the true dumpling enthusiasts in the family. They had their opinions ready! We also tried the Sichuan fish fillet, which ended up being a bit underwhelming. To be fair, we ordered it without spice, and that might've dulled the flavor. The kids were expecting something more like the bamboo fish from Wei or Tasty China, so it didn't quite hit the mark for them.
On the bright side, I really enjoyed the mixed mala vegetables, especially when I discovered tofu skin sheets in the mix--one of my favorites! All in all, Dumpling Garden might just become our go-to dumpling spot nearby. It's not perfect, but it's definitely worth exploring further.
KIDS say .... One thing that sets Dumpling Garden apart from Handmade Dumpling is their soup dumplings--yes, they serve xiao long bao! These juicy, flavorful bites add something special to their menu and give them an edge if you're a fan of that classic, brothy dumpling experience.
