I’ve been to this place a couple times and enjoy it! We got the Gong-Bao Chicken over Rice and the Pork and Chive steamed dumpling. The chicken’s sauce was delicious and the veggies and chicken was done well. The dumplings are made fresh to order and were juicy with some nice flavour! I love their chilli sauce.

The prices are reasonable and this place is cash only. The downside is that there is no AC, so it was super hot.

Cool place, you can watch them make the dumplings right in front of you. I ordered the vegetable pam fried dumplings and they were top notch! Nice to see a cash business - atleast we know they will be open even if the internet goes down like it did 2 years ago! Smart business not going cashless!

One of the best dumpling places I’ve been to in Toronto, and I’ve been to many. But, your expectations can’t be high for overall experience.

Agree with other reviews, the only cash option makes it a bit difficult to be accessible to everyone. The restaurant itself is crammed with supplies. But their market scheme of the lady in the window hand making dumplings got me.

I always try the classic pork and chive dumpling every place I go. And I was not disappointed. Took about 10 minutes after ordering to arrive at my table. The “dumpling skirt” fried around the dumplings make for a great crunch and fantastic eating experience. Tasty filling, good chew, and a crispy side. All make for a perfect dumpling.

Give the place a try, definitely worth it.

A great place to get fresh and authentic dumplings, handmade right in the window! Also got these house special noodles and they were amazing. Portions are quiet generous and appropriately priced. This restaurant has a cozy atmosphere for late in the evening. Would highly recommend 🥟

Found this cute family-run restaurant where you can watch the ladies whip out tons of dumplings effortlessly. We got the noodles, hot and sour soup and potstickers. The noodle dish and soup were really good but the potstickers weren’t that great. The skin was a tad too chewy and the filling was quite bland. Service was great though. It’s also cash only but they do have an ATM machine inside of the restaurant.

A Toronto institution for dumplings in China town. The chefs are making the dumplings in the front window right when you enter. Pretty modest set up for the dinning room. The restaurant is cash only (don’t worry they will remind you 5x while seating you), they do have an ATM available. We had the famous pan fried dumplings, we had the chicken. It was really great, perfect textures and big portion size. We also had the beef noodles, pretty good. No complaints. Would like to come back and try more dumplings. I think it was $15 for 12 pan fried.

Our dinner at Dumpling House was just a regular dinner. Nothing overly good or bad.

We got the mix of pork chive, shrimp, and chicken pan fried dumplings, and fried rice.
While the dumplings were good, the rice was pretty subpar.

The server initially seated us in front of the stairs that lead down to washroom, and it smelled very strong of the chemical/washroom smell.
So we asked if we can seat elsewhere and did.
