I always find myself wanting Chinese food on Mondays when my go-to place is closed. I decided to order from Dumpling House for the 2nd time.
Ordered the udon Shanghai, salt & pepper wings, pork fried rice and crab Rangoon.
Food arrived fast and was piping hot.
The Udon Shanghai was once again outstanding. If you are into texture (and flavor), order this. The noodles are delicious and chewy, lots of Smokey flavor, great noodles to meat and veggie ratio.
The spicy salt & pepper wings were extremely well packaged. I appreciated that they ventilated the container so that the wings arrived hot but still really crispy. Great flavor and addictive spice. I don't like spicy food but I really enjoyed the 1 wing I could tolerate.
And I thought the price was fair for the portion, 10 pieces (5 whole wings).
Pork fried rice, not going to lie, I was disappointed and kind of put off when I first opened the container. This is not your stereotypical pork fried rice. The rice was white and I instantly got a whiff of something fishy, which confused me. I thought they sent me the wrong dish, I tried it anyway and discovered that the fishy smell was fish sauce and that the rice was super flavorful and fresh. Lots of garlic flavor. I was surprised I liked it so much, very different from the average pork fried rice.
The crab Rangoon were disappointing, they tasted fine but were tiny and the price is way to high for the portion,
Overall, this place is making good quality, freshly made, flavorful food. It's not going to satisfy that craving for greasy, naughty, American Chinese food (or give you the same bang for your buck) but if you're open to something new, this is it.
