Dumpling House

We tried this restaurant for the first time this weekend, looking for a new (additional) spot for dumplings and more. We ordered the wonton in chili oil, pan fried pork buns, and hot & spicy fried rice. They started the meal with a complimentary scallion pancake, which was very good. Then our hot & spicy fried rice arrived. It was good, though not very spicy. We waited around 20 minutes and our pan fried pork buns arrived, all burst, with the soup more in the plate than in the buns. The dough wasn't quite right, fully gummy and soaked, as if it almost wasn't the right dish. They had been flipped upside down and were just a pile of mush, covered in a lot of oil, unlike any pan fried pork buns we've ever gotten. About 10min later, they tried to drop off another plate of (oily) dumplings at the table, that wasn't what we ordered. They took it back and double-checked our order on the paper and saw that we had ordered the wonton in chili oil, which came about 10min later. Overall a very mixed and long (for what it was) meal with some good food, some not-so-good, and lots of weird pacing. A couple of the servers were friendly and did check in on us a few times. Sidenote - I love chili oil but the one they had there wasn't my favorite - it's less spicy, more salted black soybean. No big deal there, just not my cup of tea.

Was a bit let down by the quality of the food. This place was so busy I thought the food would be really good. The dumplings were $13-14 for 8, and the sizes were good, but the wrappers were all broken and quite disappointing. The green onion pancake was free for order above $20, but were obviously store bought and very dry and not tasty. The interior was clean and staff are decent.

If you're a fan of authentic dumpling houses and bold flavors, this spot is a must-visit! 👍😋💯 It’s a small, unassuming hole-in-the-wall, but don’t let the size fool you the food is phenomenal. 🍜🤤👏 We ordered a variety of dishes, and each one delivered big on taste. 🥟🥢😋 I had the spicy fried rice (pro tip: it comes with chicken, even though it doesn’t say so on the menu). 🔥🌶️🍚 The flavor from the hot chili oil and black salted beans was out of this world. 🌎🌟✨ We also enjoyed the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), which were perfectly done. 💯😋👍 What really surprised me was the sautéed cabbage with Thai chili peppers so simple, yet packed with incredible flavor. 🥬🌶️🔥 The beef soup was hearty, and the spicy chicken dish with Sichuan and chili peppers brought the heat in all the right ways. 🍲🐔🌶️ Customer service was great, and the whole experience exceeded expectations. 💯😊👍 I will definitely be back. 🥳😋👏

We had lunch/brunch on Saturday. Arrived there around noon, and we were pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t crowded. We ordered four items on the menu. The dishes started to arrive, and we were happy that the portions were big. There were only two of us, and we tried to finish but couldn’t. Each dish was flavorful, and we loved it! I would definitely come back to try other dishes. There is a large parking area in the back of the restaurant.

I recently visited Dumpling House and my experience was quite mixed. I arrived around 12:15 PM, and initially, I was greeted with a menu by the waitress. However, it took a bit longer than expected for her to take my order, as she was on her phone instead of attending to customers. After about 10 minutes of waiting, I finally got her attention and she took my order. However, shortly after, a couple came in, and she assisted them right away, taking their order and delivering their food before I had received mine. When I inquired about my order, she assured me that it was ready, yet I continued to wait for quite a while. Frustrated by the long wait, I asked for my meal to be packed in a to-go container. I left with my food in hand, but the service left much to be desired. While the dumplings may be delicious, the service could use significant improvement. I hope they can address these issues to enhance the overall dining experience for their customers.

Dumpling House is my go to spot for fresh, flavorful dumplings. We had the pork wontons in spicy sauce, which were perfectly tender and soaked in a rich, slightly spicy sauce that added just the right kick. The shrimp, pork, and egg wontons were just as delicious, juicy, well seasoned, and packed with flavor. We also ordered the beef chow fun, a flat noodle dish with tender beef, crisp veggies, and perfectly chewy noodles coated in a savory, smoky sauce. Everything came out fast, and the service was efficient and friendly. With great food at a reasonable price, this place never disappoints. Definitely a must-visit for dumpling lovers!

I visited this place last night and upon the first bite of the Chong Qing Crispy Chicken, I knew it would be an instant favorite. I do wish it was spicier though. This dish would be perfect with beer. Unfortunately, Dumpling House does not have a liquor license. Next dish out was the chicken dumplings. When I saw that they looked exactly how I made mine, I fell in love. I'm a sucker for hand-made dumpling wrappers. Very tasty, to boot! The beef noodle soup was killer. I added a dash of soy sauce & vinegar to mine, then a half a spoon of chili oil to bring up the heat. (I like spicy food, okay.) The meat was so tender, the noodles were perfectly bouncy, too. The pan-fried lamb dumplings came out last and they were also an instant favorite. I put a few of them in my soup and WOW! That was an amazing meal. The service was great and the restaurant was very clean. Not too noisy, either. I definitely want to go back and try more dishes.

2025- remodeled. some great items now missing and many other food items are now different. went on a sat. lunch and it was quiet. I am concern about their biz situation. do take their "spicy" logo on items seriously. do eat the dumplings quickly as they get cold fast. the big cold marble tabletop helped the cooling as the plate is cool quickly. juicy pork crab dumplings was good. mildly juicy and must be eaten hot or the juice be gone. the panfried bun was not the usual as the skin was very thin and wet while the inside had little juice. flavored stewed beef noodle is spicy with pepper corn soup ingredient. seafood noodle soup was red, spicy, and angry. toouch spice covering most seafood favor in the soup. probably best was the house noodle. 2016- Food is on the good side, service not so much. 2 person running the place every time I am here lunch or dinner. Thats the problem. Restroom if you could avoid it, please do. Parking can be problematic but now 2 shops adjacent is remodeling (7/2016), not a problem for now. The soup is the star of all the noodle except the braised beef spicy noodle. Duck noodle is excellent and did I mention the soup?

Food is good here, solid! I prefer it than din tai fung- prices make more sense, more taste and authentic. Plus can't go wrong with those free pancakes that are made fresh to table. Good service, especially for Chinese resto (hehe), can get a lot more bang for your buck. TVs are a bit distracting but most restaurants have TVs so there's not really a them issue but a me issue. Quaint and not the cleanest but also not here for elite atmosphere (guess if you want that then DTF is the place to go to). I'd get some dumplings, veg and a nice soup if I were you!

Free green onion pancake for orders for $20! Overall quality 3.8/5. The soup dumplings skin is thicker than DTF but overall still tasty. I love the mung cold noodles and eggplant. The place is a bit small but lots of parking in the back lot

Service was okay but the food was just bad or maybe a bad night. Pan fried dumpling, mushy and the bottom was not even crispy. The skin was mush. All the meat fell out if tried to pick it up. The Singapore fried noodles just a mess of turmeric covered noodles. Could not taste anything else. All greasey and oily. The pan fried pork buns, same thing the bun were all mushy and wet. The bottom of the buns no toasty crispy skin. A wet ball of dough with meat in it. The spicy wonton, where not very spicy but it seems like they added sugar to it cause it was sweet. Never had that before. The only reason I have 2 stars is the service was prompt but I would be prompt if I was getting a 18 to 20% tip from all my customers.

Love love love this place! Simple interior but lovely staff and delicious food!! Service is very fast!

Was a bit let down by the quality of the food. This place was so busy I thought the food would be really good. The dumplings were $13-14 for 8, and the sizes were good, but the wrappers were all broken and quite disappointing. The green onion pancake was free for order above $20, but were obviously store bought and very dry and not tasty. The interior was clean and staff are decent.

Never been that into dumplings but that changed when I ate here. The buns and dumplings were steamed and fried to perfection. Everything had great texture and flavor. And the price point was great. The restaurant has plenty of seating and parking as well.

Staff was friendly was feeling horrible all day and needed some soup. Restaurant was clean. Food came out at a decent time. I'd advise to use the restroom before you go. They have an outside restroom which is like a storage closet. Other than that food was delicious and staff was friendly

The restaurant itself is pretty small so if you're coming with a larger party, it might get a bit tough. Parking is available in the back of the restaurant. Their restroom is oddly placed in the back of the restaurant. You have to walk outside and around to get to it. Their dumpling skin is on the thicker side so if you like thin skin, this is not it. ESP their potsticker, the skin was so thick!! But I will say that the dipping sauce was pretty darn good. The flavored stewed beef noodle soup was spicy and oily. I could've totally went without this and the beef roll pancake. $13 for beef roll pancake which was bland and cold like it just came out the fridge??? That's a big no no!! AND the whole thing just falls apart as you pick it up to eat. Also, these items had thumbs up right next to it on the menu. They should take those down until they adjust the taste first. Now to the service, I didn't have a problem until she came to drop off our check that we didn't even ask for yet. That's kind of rude as it gives a sense of urgency for you to hurry up and leave.

A day after surgery, I was looking for some soft food and suggested this place to my Sister. We decided to eat there. Food was outstanding. So much flavor and a real stand out compared to most places. The place fills up fast so the locals must enjoy it too. Hope to return one day.

Very unsuspecting but utterly fantastic Chinese spot. Definitely swing by if your around the area. I got a little of everything dim sum pork dumplings, beef chow fun, Kung pao chicken, and lamb. Literally everything that came out was better than the next. My favorites were the Kung pao and lamb. Both were flavor explosions in my mouth. Small spot with limited seating so don't be surprised if you have to wait. Parking was a little tough but there's plenty street and around back. Go crazy and get everything you want. It'll be worth it and it's even better the day after.

Small quaint place. Chicken soup has unique flavors, the noodles are white, soft, chewy- delicious

On this recent visit. The ribs were tasty and ultra garlic laden, chicken fried rice just the right amount of vegetables and chicken, string beans with black beans delish and the grand daddy of them all the juicy pork dumplings are a good size and juicy as it's supposed to be. Service is quick and the restaurant is clean. We're regulars here. Been coming here for years. I've brought out of town guests here and they enjoy this spot too! Parking in the back is easy and there are a few spots on the street.

The bottled Honey Green Iced Tea they serve is pretty refreshing, not too sweet. All the items we got were delish, hot, and fresh! Fast table service. Small interior, so when busy you have to wait by the railing entrance area. But we came before the dinner rush hour on a Friday and got seated immediately. Their restroom was dirty (located behind the restaurant by walking outside and heading to the first door on the left corner), so minus 1 star because of that. Also, the inside of the restaurant got more and more colder the longer we were there. It was harder to enjoy food with the A/C blasting lol they need to not make it freezing temperatures, sort of ruins the dining experience.

Randomly found this place after an event in Arcadia. It was surprisingly really good food and quality. You can't go wrong with the choices and there was plenty to choose from. The best part was the free scallion pancakes when you spend more than $20. Can't beat that! Dumplings are the best. Stop by if you're in the area!

No frills place, but fast service and does the job when you're craving some potstickers. Green beans were fire too! Decent sized parking lot in the back.

Dumpling House is a staple in Arcadia and is a great place to do family style. The restaurant itself isn't big, which could make seating a larger party difficult so I would recommend planning accordingly. The service was quick and the food arrived to the table in a timely manner. As for the food, I was not a fan of the garlic cucumber appetizer. The cucumbers were more on the sour side and didn't taste fresh. The shrimp wontons in spicy sauce definitely had a thicker skin, so steer clear if you prefer a thinner skin. As for the preserved cabbage soup, I thoroughly enjoyed it! The portion is shareable and pairs great with rice. Compared to other restaurants that specialize in Shanghainese cuisine, I would say that Dumpling House is just standard. Parking: There is parking right behind the restaurant but it isn't too big! Street parking is also an option as well but not ideal.

This place completely took me by surprise in the best way! My wife and daughter had been raving about it, and now I totally get why. It's a little hole-in-the-wall dumpling house, but wow... it's serving up huge flavor. I ordered the spicy fried rice (which secretly has chicken in it bonus!) and it blew me away. The chili oil and black salted bean combo was fire. We had the xiaolongbao (always a win), a shockingly good sautéed cabbage with Thai chili, and a beef soup that hit the spot. But the standout for me? A spicy chicken dish loaded with Sichuan and chili peppers. Spicy, savory, and unforgettable. Now, quick note about customer service--if you know, you know. If you're familiar with Asian dining culture, this won't surprise you. You might not get big smiles or chatty service, but they're efficient, fast, and focused on getting you your food hot and fresh. And honestly, that's what you're here for. The food speaks for itself. So if you're there expecting hand-holding and small talk, this might catch you off guard. But if you're here to eat and enjoy incredible flavor, you're in the right spot. Enjoy the food and appreciate the authenticity. 10/10 would come back. Already dreaming of that cabbage dish...

NomNom Went here with a friend a few years ago and have gone back ever since. Soup Dumplings!

Great place! Used to go here all the time but since I moved out of the area, it doesn't make sense to drive 25 mins sometimes for a quick dumpling fix. Surprisingly they aren't as busy as they used to be! I remembered having to wait for tables sometimes. Place is clean and organize. Food still tastes just as great!

Good pork and shrimp dumplings here. Orders made fresh upon ordering. We also had chow mein.

Came on Friday night at 8PM and the place was still full! Waited about 5 min and a table for 2 was ready for us. The spicy pork wontons were surprisingly good and my favorite dish! The sauce is so good, sweet, sour and salty and garlicy that soaks into the wonton skin and the pork was flavorful too. I think it's the closest thing I've found that compares to din tai fungs (the only thing that I think is worth it there!). Pork and crab xiao long baos didn't have much flavor. Maybe the regular pork ones taste better with a single stronger flavor. The green onion pancakes were flakey and crispy and also free with a yelp check in! There was nothing amazing about their service but they got the job done and served the food. It's what I expected at an asian place and I have no issues with it. Would come back for the spicy pork wontons!

We came to a place called Dumpling House and surprisingly, ended up not ordering any dumplings. We got - Hand Made Pancake - Chong Qing Crispy Chicken - Pickled Beef Noodle Soup - Sauteed String Bean Beef noodle soup usually all tastes the same to me, but I really liked this one maybe because of the addition of the pickles which provided a nice contrast with the sour taste. My favorite was the Chong Qing Crispy Chicken. It had the perfect amount of spiciness and crunchiness. The portion size was really generous too.

The food was amazing! The service was amazing as well. They have patience with us ordering. We did the $20 over give free green onion pancake. The restaurant was clean and tidy. Is also my first time visiting there was worry about the price. But it was definitely $10-$20 around there.

Dumpling House seems like a staple here in Arcadia. I love dumplings, so I was happy to try it out. Parking is plenty in the back. Oddly, the bathroom is also accessed from the back parking lot. This means you need to leave your seat and go out the front door if you need to use the restroom during your meal. There is an order form that you check off boxes, so there are no photos of the food. Service is mid. They act like they are really busy and don't pay much attention to you. This is typical of a Chinese restaurant tbh. Dumplings were great. I got the shrimp pork & chives boiled and fish pan-fried. They were both really great. They came with a small saucer of sauce that was vinegary. The beef noodle soup (clear) was good. Rice is $2 per bowl. I'd come back. This place is like the restaurant you go when you don't know what else to eat.

Every dish was pretty solid. We ordered Braised Beef Noodle Soup, Shrimp Pork and Chive Dumplings, Salt and Pepper Shrimp, Cucumber Salad, and Peking Duck Roll. The beef in the BNS was cut thinly which I'm not a fan of, but good flavor and noodle texture. The Peking Duck Roll was basically a Beef Roll.

The food is consistently delicious and comes out pretty quick. I feel the staff are very welcoming and are great.

Great comfortable place! Good service and great food. This place is consistently good. The food has the same great taste every time my family and I come to eat.

The food was so delicious. It was the best food I have ever had, well ever and I think it's going to be a good time for anyone who is reading this review. anyways, I like this place and definitely coming back again.

The food left a bit to be desired. I was expecting amazing dumplings given the name. It fell a little flat. The pancakes were probably the best thing we got and it was free with check in. This place is okay if you're looking for an Asian food fix however it wouldn't make the top of any list. The ambiance is that of a mom and pop place and service is as expected - lackluster. However, I expected the food to be better than average and that was definitely not meeting expectations.

The food, service and ambiance are always 5 star. We have been coming here for over 7 years. Today we were surprised with a few new menu items and we tried the spicy chicken. It was not too spicy but it was delicious.

Service was OK. The worker did not speak English well. There's also no restroom in the restaurant! - Spicy Beef Noodle Soup 3.5/5 Slices of beef and couple pieces of spinach, I thought this soup was OK. It would have been way better if it wasn't so oily... the broth was VERY oily. - Chili Spicy Wontons 4/5 The chili sauce is not so spicy. I thought this had the best filling to wrapper ratio. But it's still more wrapping than filling. - Fried Pork Dumplings 2/5 VERY little filling and a lot of dough. It's fried on one side. If it had 3 times more filling then it would be perfect. - Steamed Beef Dumplings 1.5/5 My least favorite. The beef filling did not taste good. Parking is free in the lot behind.

My favorite place for xiaolongbao!! It's a cozy little shop on Baldwin Ave. with a parking lot in the back or street side parking, if you prefer that. There's hardly a wait time and the service is fast! The XLB is freshly made in house and so good!! highly recommend checking this place out!

I have been here a few times now and I really enjoy it! It's usually busy in the evenings and the dining area is not very big. My step mom said it's busy in the morning too. I like the variety of dumplings with meat, seafood and vegetables so it has options for all customers. I like the dumplings pan fried and the different chili sauce at the table. My parents like it steamed. The portions are hearty so beware, it's easy to order too much when you want to sample different items ... If you like dumplings, noodles and rice... this is the spot to check out.

Always love me some dumpling house!! Better than a lot of the dumpling places around. This places is NOT hyped up. Prices are reasonable. My typical go to is the XLB, pan fried dumplings, steamed dumplings, and beef roll. You get a free side of green onion pancake when you check in via YELP. I think the real reason why I go here is because they have ALL the condiments and they are on the table! Black vinegar and chili oil is such a delight with the dumplings! It was so good, I went there twice in one day! With different friends, of course!

This place has so many good options, it's hard to choose! Every time I'm at the mall or in the area, I love to have dinner here. I have to get the xlb and pork and chive dumplings. I also love the wonton in chili oil. Service is quick and this is ideal for smaller groups vs large ones. A must try!

This was my first time trying this place. It has a small and cozy seating area. We came at just the right time and the place was practically empty. Once we got seated, we glanced at the menu. We ordered their Juicy Pork Dumplings (Must) and their Veggie Chow Mein. We also got their Pan Fried Dumplings for different texture and some crispiness. We even got their Green Onion Pancake (Free with Yelp Check in!) and tried their Hand Made Pancake. Everything came out quickly and was fresh and hot. Once we finished our food, is when more people began to arrive and place was starting to fill up. I would come back to this place if when I'm craving some dumplings and the line for....another place is too long. Please stop by and patronize this place. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

One of my go-to Chinese food spots is the Dumpling House. It not only tastes delicious but, more importantly, it is very clean compared to other places that may be legitimate but lack cleanliness. Their house special beef noodle soup is a perfect 10/10. The noodles are freshly made, chewy, and soft, while the soup is cooked with bones for a long time, resulting in a rich flavor. They are very generous with the meat portion, and the beef is juicy and flavorful--I love it! I have also tried their juicy dumplings and cold pork with garlic, and both are exceptional, earning a 10/10 rating. The portions are generous, and the flavors are fresh. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the ongoing inflation. Service is super polites indoor is very clean. Don't forget to check-in to get a free pancake, which is crispy and packed with flavor.

First time here and definitely not my last. I came here at 6pm on a Monday with a larger group, and the restaurant was practically empty. We were seated immediately, and they do accommodate for bigger groups (maybe 10 max). Around 6:30, the place started getting busy. The two ladies working were very nice and attentive. I checked in on Yelp for a free green onion pancake that was delicious! As for the rest of the dishes we ordered, everything we got was fantastic. The prices were very affordable considering the amount of food you get. The sautéed string beans and eggplant with garlic were addicting to eat. The cucumber salad was refreshing on a hot summer day! The juicy pork dumplings (xlb) were good, but there wasn't a whole lot of soup in them. We also ordered the pan fried dumplings and spicy wontons which were delicious. The house noodles and fried thin rice noodles were tasty. Everything here was a hit and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Great job Dumpling House!

Great food and good service! The quality of the food is amazing and one of the best dumpling places in Arcadia! Personally, I think it's better than Din Tai Fung.

Dumpling House is a small neighborhood Chinese restaurant that serves the staple comfort foods covering various regions of China. They have many dumpling options, from fried to steamed, XLBs, and pan fried buns. Want to be clear. We do not come here for the service, but for the food. It's very difficult to get the attention of the servers, and when you do, be ready to order. They do not care for small talk nor give you eye contact. The food: 1. Cucumber with garlic - smashed cucumbers with a mala oil. Not too spicy, not too numbing. 2. Pan fried pork dumplings - one of their signature dishes. Their dumplings are decent sized and very juicy. Nicely browned on the bottom, but could be a little more crispy. Skin is a little thicker, which is what I like, but those who prefer skin like Bafang dumplings may find this too thick. 3. Green onion pancake - very very thin, not the best. 4. House special beef noodle soup - the soup flavor is on point, beef brisket is tender. Noodles are fresh and al dente. Served with white radish and garlic in the soup, super flavorful. 5. Pork spareribs with garlic - deep fried and tossed with fried garlic and green onion. Delicious with white rice. The food is solid, not fancy, but great for everyday eats.

My favorite dumpling place! We come for lunch and although it is small, the environment is cozy. Food is always hot and tasty. Even when we try new things everything is always flavorful. Service could is okay, but I also appreciate when servers aren't checking on us every 20 minutes. Overall 10/10

The dumplings are very delicious and you can't go wrong with most of their entrées. The service can be a little slow at times and to request water multiple times can be a little annoying.

Feeling like home made dumplings, I love the lamp fried dumplings. It tasted so special, and it's hard to find

unbelievable! I came here for what I always ordered- shrimp fried rice. because of a stupid glitch in their menu, they gave me beef fried rice instead! l caught the mistake as soon as I got to my, and went right back in to exchange it. they refused. Apparently, as seems to be the case with many Chinese food establishments, "the customer is always wrong". never again! these people do not deserve your business!

Always great to come here with family. Inexpensive! Food comes out fast and fresh every time.

Dumpling was delicious , and my son ate more than ever . The beef noodle soup ( beef ) was tender yum ! We will be back !

Great food every time! Love the dumplings, beef noodle soup and green onion pancake. Customer service is also superb! Will always return.

I had great service and food was really good!! Thank you!! This is actually my second time coming here.

They must have changed ownership. This place used to be my family's go-to dumpling spot. The portion and quality of the food has declined greatly. The spicy wonton used to be coated in spicy sauce and sprinkled on top with peanut bits... now, no more peanut bits and the spicy sauce is very minimal; not enough to coat each wonton. Sadly, we will bot be coming back. Maybe once in a while for their house-made pancake (to-go).
