Dumpling House

The dumplings were pretty juicy and had good flavors, but the skin could’ve been better for my liking. The stir fry flat noodle again great flavor but oily for my liking

If you wanna try really huge range of nice asian dumplings, buns, mandus, pancakes and noodles just come to this Dumpling corner. Cheap, rich & yummy, what do you need else? Take some napkins with you, cause usually they have a shortage of it :) (same as almost any other asian cafes here)

“Dumpling House in Parker: A Diminished Culinary Experience” Dumpling House in Parker presents a dining environment that may not be as inviting as one might hope. The dim lighting and aged ambiance create a somewhat dated atmosphere, lacking the modern appeal that many diners seek in a restaurant setting. Moving on to the food, while Dumpling House offers a range of dumpling varieties, the overall quality falls short of being exceptional. The flavors are decent but not outstanding, leaving diners with a sense of culinary mediocrity. The menu lacks creativity and fails to offer unique or memorable dishes that would set it apart from other similar establishments. In conclusion, Dumpling House in Parker may not be the ideal choice for diners looking for a vibrant, modern atmosphere or exceptional cuisine. While it offers a variety of dumplings, the overall dining experience is marred by the restaurant’s dated appearance and lackluster food offerings.

We tried just about everything. The Singapore noodles were a standout. The dumplings were good but not the greatest. The sesame chicken was also good. Everything slightly on the greasy side. Service was fast and friendly.

Food was great! I've had them before but at the time I wasn't the biggest fan of the pan fried pork buns, but now the filling tastes different to me and I loved it. I wish the bottom was crispier, but it was delicious. All the food was delicious and they gave full containers. Got the pan fried pork buns, combination lo mein, golden garlic beef, black bean chicken, pork with bamboo and bean curd, and stir fried seafood. Definitely worth going back for more!

This was my first time going here. Very authentic Asian Dumplings. It is decent on price, but the amount of food you get for it is amazing! I gave food 5 stars cause it was great! Service was good when they get to you that is, soda is in a can if you get that. Atmosphere was a 3 because the tables were not clean, food still on them no music being played just meh on the place.

Highly recommended the soup dumplings, steamed buns, and stuffed pancakes. Very authentic Chinese dumplings. Service is a bit slow and a few mix-ups, but still well worth it. Just don't waste the experience by ordering typically American style Chinese food like orange chicken.

Best Chinese pancakes. Hands down. Especially the Beef pancakes. All dishes are very tasty & price is too good. Service can be a bit slow when busy but always worth the visit! Can't believe we found this place after 2 yrs in the area. Not a Hidden gem as it is usually very busy. Recommended to come for the lunch special!

I think Dumpling House has changed ownership or just their name to Willow and Pine Dumpling House as of February 2024. We came for dinner, and I haven't been to this location in a few years, but the interior is revamped and looks more modern and inviting than it had before. Their dumplings and bao are still the stars of their menu. We got the boiled pork dumplings and steamed pork bao, both of which were delicious. The pork bao were very fluffy and soft, and while biting into the meat at first seemed somewhat bland, the more bites you took the more flavor seemed to come, and it was tastier the more you ate it. We also had the spicy garlic eggplant and a vegetable lo mein, which they said was vegetarian, not vegan, but we asked them to make the lo mein vegan for our friend to be able to eat and they were accomodating. These two dishes were okay, not amazing. The spicy garlic eggplant came with a small bowl of rice, and it could have been more generous. I do want to mention that the tableware we were given was a random mishmash; one person got a bowl and soup spoon that no one else got, three of us were given disposable chopsticks while one was given the resuable kind, and half the plates we were given were circular and half were oval-shaped. So they maybe need to work on attention to details in this aspect of restauranting! Also, the big menu with pictures was new and did not contain prices, and we had to ask for the prices of the dishes, which they handed to us on a longer paper menu. The dishes were still really good value, in my opinion. The staff were nice and accommodating when we asked questions, and they came by to refill our waters pretty often. Overall, I think we had a pretty good experience, though it could be improved.

As soon as you enter, you know if you are the target audience or not. I was not the target audience for this establishment. The dishes are a bit pricey, the portions small, and look nothing like the pictures they have. Beef roll looked like a skinny burrito. Crispy pork were slivers of meat. Dishes tasted like they came from premade packages. There is more but as mentioned, not the target audience.

Poor service. Our server seemed very agitated to get us water, napkins, and straws. The soup dumplings had a sour aftertaste.. not very good compared to others i've had.

I went to try this Chinese Dumpling House hidden inside a mini mall on West Parker Road, Plano TX. I ordered Mongolian Beef from their lunch menu with white rice, hot and sour soup and egg roll included. The beef were thinly sliced and sautéed in onions and hosein sauce. It's delicious . Serving Staff is friendly and helpful. The place is not fully lighted, kind a dark during lunchtime. But area is clean and well decorated. I will try handmade buns next time.

Happy I found a place I like in Plano. The Lo Mein was flavorful and very garlicky (might not be everyone's cup of tea), but a tad salty. The dumplings were amazing! The dough wasn't too thick, the filling was delicious and juicing, and the pan fried crust was perfectly done. Service was fast and friendly and parking was easy to come by.

First and last time! I walked in to pick up a to go order, and stood at the register by the entrance for a solid 3 minutes in front of 2 employees. They finally said to go to the back of the restaurant to pick up my order. I was asked "what I needed" as o said I'm here to pick up my order. I told him my name and he said what's your order number. I walked back out to the car to get my phone. I have them the order number he hands me my food. The whole exchange was weird and rude. The food sucked. The spicy pork was swimming in a pool of oil, the fried rice noodles with beef tasted like plastic, the orange chicken was chewy, and the egg rolls tasted off. I didn't even bother calling, as I didn't want to hear any excuses.

This place executes quite well what they advertise in their name. Atmosphere wise this place is pretty separate and bland. Service is direct and to the point. Luckily, there English was decent enough that were both understood each other. Steamed buns here are pretty good. Great dough that has a pronounced yeast taste and smell as they probably make their own. Fish dumplings are something I rarely see but they are pretty good here. Not amazing like when taught truffle or pork fat are used but still tasty none the less. Custard buns sucked. They didn't have much filling and fell flat in flavor. Possibly the worst custard bun I've had. Scallion pancakes were even better than what you get at jeng chi! Maximum crispiness with plenty of oily goodness in each bite.

I was so excited to try this place out because I saw it on this article for best place for dumplings but honestly I was so disappointed. I got house dumplings and shrimp pork dumplings very different types of dumplings but the inside wasn't so different to me...they tasted the same. The lo mein was okay...and the general tso was good. Everyone is very nice and welcoming but wasn't worth the hour drive. Maybe I went on an off day....

We have been coming here for years. And I mean like 5 years and I felt it necessary to come back and update my review after our last visit a few days ago. We will start with my beef noodle soup that I always get. The meat was nice and tender like always. The soup however, was nothing but a over salted beef broth. I am used to this being a very flavorful broth that bursts in your mouth with every single bite. Not the case anymore. I did read that there might be a new owner or cook and maybe that explains why the dish was changed. Secondly, my fiancé always gets the same chicken and noodle dish and it's always so much food that we have to take some home. The portion was much smaller this time. Lastly, we came in around 8:30. Restaurant closes at 9:30. Boy howdy if we didn't feel like they wanted us to get the heck out of there. Our server was nice but in a major hurry for us to leave. She didn't even have to say it. We could feel it. Cleaning our table and around it while we were still there. The second our plates are empty, they are gone. The whole rush of the "hurry up and order, eat and get out" feeling was super real. I do not like that. We would have left by 9:30 without any of the rushing around us. I do appreciate that we are still able to bring our own wine in to enjoy with our meal. I just feel that every customer, from the first to the last, should be treated as if they are wanted in the establishment. It costs a lot of money to treat yourself these days by going out to eat.

Had a wonderful meal at Dumpling House. The staff was very kind and the food was great! The place is authentic, no frills, and portion sizes were generous. Parking is easy, and adjacent to the restaurant right out right.

I met up yet again with some girlfriends after work. The Dumpling House has a wide variety of different types of dumplings. We each ordered from the menu to share so I can't remember exactly each item ordered however it was all delicious, fresh and tasty...see pictures! Note: They do not have alcohol that you can order however you can BYOB

Food is excellent. Delicious, fresh me made and dare I say made with love?! It how it tastes. Quick and easy. Do yourself a favor just try it!

I thought the food here was lovely! One of the fewer more authentic Chinese food spots I've had in this metroplex so far. We tried their House Specialty Buns, seaweed & egg soup, pork dumplings, and soup dumplings. Prices for each were very reasonable as were the portion sizes. Soup was warm and hearty, buns were light and juicy, and dumplings were oh so savory. Definitely go for the House Specialty buns here! A great place to share a meal with others. Would gladly come back! PROS: - plentiful menu options and variety - great prices - plentiful seating inside - buns, dumplings were so well made and delicious CONS: - none! :)

Food, service and restaurant was a great experience as a date with my husband for Father's Day. We ordered steamed dumplings with beef, Curry Chicken Fried Rice, Egg Rolls. We plan to return and try fried dumplings instead of steamed.

Obsessed. Every time I hear of someone going to North Dallas (regardless of reason) I recommend this place while aggressively insisting they bring me home lots of steam buns. The actual restaurant is unassuming and staff is helpful. Driving 45 minutes across the metroplex for these cherished buns was worth every ounce of stained tshirt and steering wheel! The mini-trek was a birthday well spent and well fed!

We came here on Sunday night. It was still early so there was no wait. We've been to the one in Frisco, but first time here at Plano location. There are good amount of seatings inside and family friendly ambiance. We had beef noodle soup, stir fry noodles, fried rice and beef wraps. Everything was so great and I feel like it's a lot better than the Frisco location. It's also less crowded!

Went for dinner when it opened. Not impressed with food at all. Service was okay even though we were the only ones in there and few take out people.

Delicious soup dumplings and signature boiled dumplings and beef noodle soup with bok choy. Love the green beans dish and everyone ate everything! Friendly service and fast!

Bad service lunch time only one server, The waiters were completely incapable of serving guests' needs. There are no prices written on the photo of the menu either.

Update: gave them another chance and the last few times, the food has been quite good. My kiddos love their fried rice and scallion pancake. Had the fish in wine sauce and lettuce cups today too and both were tasty. Fast and friendly service is consistent.

Went for lunch today and the food tasted Americanized and just ok. Service was good and they were nice, but not my cup of tea so to speak.

The food is great and the dumplings are among the tastiest we've had in the area. I only order for take-out now though. The two times we ate in restaurant it took a while to place our orders and then another long time to get our food. And when our food arrived it came one by one. I don't recommend going if you have a time constraint or be prepared to place your orders as soon as you sit down.

Food is not good. Service isn't good either. I'd be okay with bad service as long as the food is good, sadly that wasn't the case here. The beef roll didn't seem fresh. The wontons weren't as flavorful. The sweet and sour pork had a funky aftertaste. The dandan noodles had good flavor, and the only dish I actually enjoyed, but sadly gave me food poisoning. Will never come back!

The service is okay, but not super customer oriented. More so, after a minute of being seated, they were already asking for my order. Once I asked for more time to look at the menu, they gave me 15 minutes.. Then they never checked on me until the bill arrived. The food came out fast. I would like a little more seasoning in the dumplings though. I got soup dumplings, cabbage bun, pork dumplings fried. scallion pancakes, and lo mein. The noodles definitely were super oily. It was super hot in the restaurant too. It didn't feel like they had any air conditioning. I was sweating inside, and I was in there for 45 minutes.

One of my favorite dumpling spots in dfw. The pork buns are huge and delicious. Soup dumplings are always hot and juicy. Service was extremely quick and even though many people in the restaurant it was quiet.

I can't believe I have not written a review for Dumpling House! Been eating here for years and they consistently have amazing dumplings, Chinese dishes, and appetizers. If you're going to eat here, you must get some dumplings! They have soup dumplings here and I have to say when the steaming basket comes out, it's only a matter of a few minutes before they are all gone! We always get green onion pancake - the kids' favorite and boy are they crunchy and always come out piping hot! We've ordered other dishes like beef flat noodle, beef and broccoli, bok choy with mushroom, eggplant garlic sauce, string bean with pork, just to name a few. I can't remember all the dishes we've ever ordered. If you request they will not add msg to the dishes, they are so flavorful on their own!

Delicious, authentic, Chinese food. The wait staff when I went was just a little old lady but she was so sweet and even made me a custom dumpling dipping sauce. Homemade chili oil and black vinegar available, which should always be supplied at Chinese restaurants in my opinion. Soft & fluffy bao, and very large portions. They put peas in the egg drop soup, my favorite

So our servers provided great service and we enjoyed most of the food. We got the Pork dumplings, lettuce wraps and spicy fish. Everything was great except the spicy fish soup was just average to me ... it could have had more flavor. We will be back again and provide update to this. Think we may have roiled in on an off day.

Today is 4/28/2023 I started this review on 1/19/2018 and never posted it. Great Dumplings. I think it is a more traditional Chinees place, not the normal stuff you would see. Wow, we love it here and we have visited more times than I can count since the first review.

Really good food. Kind service and not crazy busy. Reasonably priced and basically a no brainer. We're from out of town and so glad we came across the place. Dumplings and noodles were fresh and tasty.

Met a friend here for dinner as we'd never tried authentic dumplings before. We were very excited and hungry. The place was mildly busy and we were seated relatively quickly. Sadly, the service after this did not match the quality of the food and we've decided it was bad enough that we won't be coming back. We either felt neglected and as though we had to constantly flag someone down for service OR we felt rushed and hurried out the door. It took well over 20 min to get a simple glass of water in the middle of our meal. The waitress seemed perturbed every time we flagged her down and she wasn't friendly and warm as you'd expect/want a server to be. This was very off-putting for our first time. Near the end of the meal, we ordered additional food to-go. The check was dropped and my friend immediately paid with a credit card. We sat there a little longer to finish our drinks and to continue to talk. The female server seemed to rush us out the door and it was nowhere near closing time! We had not finished signing the credit card receipt or leaving a tip but the woman hastily cleared our table along with the payment. A few minutes later we were questioned by a gentleman as to why we didn't leave a tip!! Excuse me?!?! Who does that?!?! Had the server not whisked away the payment and exercised a little more patience, a tip would have eventually appeared when we were done. I wish the service had been better because the food was good. And with the amount of food industry competition this area and surrounding areas have... poor service will quickly drive patrons to other places. Unprofessional. Poor communication among the staff. And the employees could use some training in what excellent customer service should look like. Customer service is everything in this industry and one bad experience leaves a lasting impression.

I've been here a few times, mostly take out but tried to dine in with a friend. I normally only order dumplings but decided to try something new and ordered the General Tso dish, which was flavorless. My friend got a noodle dish and was less than impressed. Service was non-existent during our visit. I waited several months and decided to try again but sticking with takeout. Ordered Mongolian beef, beef pancakes, pork and chive dumplings and a green bean dish. The gentleman at the front seemed annoyed that I was there to pick up my order as if I interrupted him, although he was just standing at the counter--hardly said a word and zero effort in being welcoming to a patron. Let's get to the food. Dumplings--UNDERCOOKED-RAW pork. I had to microwave them when I got home to finish cooking them! These are normally my favorite so very unhappy that they're a specialty and yet come out raw--like, what?! They are packed full of flavor and one of the only reasons I've visited the establishment, but this was disappointing. Beef pancake, delicious and juicy. Would order again Mongolian beef, bland and very small portion for the price Green bean dish, it was ok but could have used additional seasoning. Tasted pretty plain to me and underwhelming. Egg rolls, insert vomit emoji here. Stuffed FULL of cabbage and NO seasoning what so ever. Probably the worst egg roll I've ever had. The filling was lacking in all shapes and forms--they were so greasy it got all over everything else in my bag. Extremely bland. Net net, I'll probably be back. But I will stick to what I know and will be prepared to finish cooking my food if I have to.

Food tasted good but our plates had too many vegetables and little meat. Not great but even worse when the rice was also small in portion. Plates are too expensive to be so stingy on rice. Find another place to eat.

The dumplings are delicious! We also ordered the beef pancakes and some combination fried rice and everything was great! Be careful as you eat the beef pancake though as it has the tendency to shoot juices when taking the first bite. Our server warned us of this and I still managed to get it on me somehow. Lesson learned. As for our service, we had the sweetest lady serving us. She was amazing from start to finish, explaining the menu, making recommendations and overall just staying very attentive to all tables. We had a great dinner and will definitely be back!

I've returned several times since the new management took over, and I must say the new team consistently delivers high-quality food. It's become one of my go-to spots for comforting Asian cuisine. The food is authentic and flavorful, cooked to a high standard. The servers are attentive and friendly. The staff is well-trained and can handle any situation. On one occasion, a child was playing with the lazy susan and spun it so fast that a soy sauce jar on top was flung off and shattered. The staff quickly ensured the child wasn't injured and promptly cleaned up the mess. They even apologized to the customers for the experience, even though it clearly wasn't the restaurant's fault. Their empathy in such situations is commendable. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy a great Asian food experience with their family.

I have come to this location for about 2 yrs. Today, I experienced nothing but anger after having a nice dinner with my family. After putting our food in take out boxes and my partner paying. We normally leave a cash tip even if we pay with a card. As we are walking out, a lady comes chasing after us telling us we didn't tip. Mind you, I opened the first set of doors, and my 2yr old is trying to open the second door to get out. She's showing my husband no see 80 no tip. The tip is under the check. So I moved the check and saw we paid with a card $20 tip under, and she just said sorry and walked away. I wanted to snatch that tip so fast that's so disrespectful because the whole restaurant then looks at us like we are dining and dashing or whatever the case. I'm super disappointed

We were a little worried when we were waiting for 10 minutes and no one approached us. But as we got seated, the service was quick and the food came out hot and ready for us to dig in. Favorite dishes in order: Beef pancake, pork and cabbage fried dumpling, beef and onion bun, and then the soup dumpling. All the fried dishes had an amazing crust to it. All the food items were moist and juicy on the inside--which we all appreciated. All were nicely seasoned. We needed a spicy kick to it so we drizzled each bite with the chili oil that they had on the table. For me, I personally enjoyed the beef items more than the pork ones, but my fiancé enjoyed the pork more.

I have ordered take out twice from this location. The first time was OK, but unfortunately the second not so much. Ordered take out Pork and Shrimp Hand Made Dumpling. Photo shows what I found when tried to eat. Some things can be overlooked however RAW Pork isn't one of them. I did return and was refunded for the Dumplings. Obviously won't be returning to this place.

Great authentic food. We got two types of dumplings and a few dishes. The dumplings are perfect. The veggie was slightly on the salty side but tasty nevertheless. Highly recommended

Good lunch here. A little light in quantity. Prices a tad high, for not getting full. Dumplings were tasty, came out fairly quick. Hot, with fresh ingredients. Counter service for ordering. Helpful, friendly staff. Dining area was in need of clean up. The table I sat at was so sticky I had to move. Food was 3 1/2 stars. I would go again.

We went this past weekend and were extremely disappointed. The service was horrible, we ordered the beef tendon, never arrived. Each time the server walked by she didn't say anything. Towards the end of our dinner, I asked where our food was & she mentioned the cooks are very busy, yet there were only a couple of customers in the restaurant and we could get the food to go. We declined and she reluctantly took it off our check. Dumplings were cold as was the meat inside. Not served as expected. Also, restrooms were unkept and had a stench that hit you as you walked towards the restroom. Overall we won't be returning.

The food here is genuinely delicious. You cannot go wrong with any of the dumplings, and the entrees are top tier as well. Based on food alone, this competes for the best place to eat in the metroplex. That sounds like I'm exaggerating but I'm not. It really is that good. If you live in the area you have to try this place and their shrimp and pork dumplings steamed or fried.

After reading the most recent Yelp ratings, I made the decision to visit this establishment, and am I glad I did. I've probably been to a lot of Chinese restaurants, but I'm looking forward to ordering from this one again. The majority of dishes come with a good amount of veggies, both in terms of quantity and quality, and the food is quite fresh. There are plenty of Chinese restaurants around if you're in the market. I gave the waiting time four out of five stars. Although there are delays and certain orders that were delivered fast, everything is reasonable. If you intend to visit, arrive early because this location is highly busy.

I love this place and the lunch specials are fantastic with lots of options to choose from. Lunch specials come with soup and an egg roll. The orange beef is crispy and tangy. I've also gotten the green onion pancake and combo low mein and both are wonderful. My favorite thing, hands down, Is the beef and onion dumplings - steamed! That's where the soup is (it's not a soup dumpling but it kinda is, too). Best dumplings in DfW period. Service is great and quick, and the restaurant is clean.

Family-owned restaurant that serves a wide variety of delicious Chinese foods such as handmade buns, dumplings, pancakes, and more. Choose from a big selection of different fried rice and noodle entrees with the option to add seafood, chicken, beef, and/or pork. The food always comes out fresh and hot, be careful not to burn your tongue! There are also a variety of soups to pick from, perfect for a cold day. During COVID, masks are required and social distancing is enforced with every other table being restricted from seating during dine-in hours.

Great noodle soup and dumplings! Fresh and healthy family friendly. Highly recommend!

This was our first time there and we were pleasantly surprised. The server was attentive (though she was the only server). The food was good and I'm anxious to try some other items on their menu.

Despite some of the recent negative reviews, my husband and I tried this restaurant. We are so glad we did. We got dumplings and fried rice. It was all very delicious. Server was attentive and nice, the team was quick to refill drinks and accommodate requests. Yes, it's not fancy or posh but I prefer "hole in the wall" places that serve authentic, good food over that anyway. Will be returning to this mom & pop!!

This is a very reliable place for those that love Chinese doughy stuff with decent quality fillings (bao zi, jiao zi). They only do steamed or pan-fried versions though; no shui jiao for example, but you can buy their uncooked jiao zi for DIY at home. I gave 3 stars because of the high price they charge (easily $25 per person) for what's mostly considered snack or pastry items. It's good and homey food, but not extraordinary.

Get the Beef pancakes! It's juicy and so satisfying. Everytime I go to restaurants, I always ask what their best dish is. Not what they sell, but what their niche! It's BEEF pancakes. Also, their shrimp and pork dumplings OR any of their handmade dumplings! I always get the string beans with beef or chicken or pork. Depending on what type of mood I'm in. String beans hit different when it's cooked on the wok.
