The name is misleading as they serve more dim sum style/soup dumplings rather than pan-fried dumplings. Their food is good, but slightly pricey. My favorite dish/dessert is their jiuniang, which has high protein and high portions. Their soup dumplings were also rather good. The only downside is their stir-fry dishes which were a little too salty. Their menu is quite comprehensive with plenty of options, the staff are responsive, and the ambiance inside is quite nice with a homey feel.

Stumbled upon Dumpling Kitchen while I was in the area. Two of us ordered: kurobuta pork soup dumpling 8 pcs $11.95 beef roll pancakes $7.95 dry braised string beans 13.80 steamed shrimp and pork shumai $11.95 Could definitely go without the shumai. Everything else was decent. Put your name down if there is a line. It was a bit unorganized to get a seat and ordering took some time.

This is a hidden gem on Durant Ave. The restaurant looks like it's a family-run place that's good for a chill dining-out experience (there's a wait for the food but it's worth it). If you're looking for authentic spicy cuisine from North China, this is a good place to start. There's plenty of space for families and large groups. The restaurant is on the second floor and you'll need to take the stairs past the Korean restaurant. It's not a difficult climb but it also means the place is not wheelchair-friendly. Payment accepted via cash or Venmo.

The food was Amazing!!! Sure it had slightly dim lighting and an interesting atmosphere, but if you want good food, at a good price, being cooked right behind you right after you order, this is the place to go. Service was fast, the chef and assumed owner was nice!

very yummy, especially for the price! the staff were really nice, too, and kept checking in on us.

Not sure why they serve takeout plastic plate when dining in. The noodle is simple and rough lack of ingredients and only a few pieces of beef. worth $5 and charge $17. If you do business like that no one is gonna come in

Below-Average Food, Nice Proprietors I feel bad giving a two-star rating as the shop proprietors are quite nice. The food, on the other hand, is quite sad. Ordered the half Hainan Chicken and Tomato Beef Chow Mein. Chicken is really bland. It's pretty much boiled chicken with condiments over it. Noodles are overcooked, lifeless, and soggy. Hope they'll do better on future.

The food is ok. The portion is big at least for me but the food is just average. The service is not so well
