About Dumpling Cafe

Dumpling Cafe is a Chinese restaurant situated at 695 Washington St in Boston, MA. Based on customer reviews, experiences at this establishment appear to vary significantly.

One patron described their meal as the best Chinese food they had ever had, praising the seasoning and highlighting the crispy General Tso's chicken and the "unreal" soup dumplings. They also commended the waitress for being a sweetheart, expressing regret at living far from the location.

In stark contrast, another reviewer had an extremely negative experience, stating it was the worst Chinese food they had ever encountered. They found the seafood fried rice to be tasteless with minimal and cheap seafood, and the pork dish to be mostly fat with very little meat. This reviewer also described the service as terrible and the prices as outrageous for the quality of food, recommending that others avoid the restaurant.

This was my second time here and it’s the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. All of the food was good and well seasoned. I’ve never had crispy general Taos chicken it’s usually soggy everywhere I go but these were so good. Soup dumplings are unreal and our waitress was a sweetheart. I wish I didn’t live so far

Do yourself a big favour! Don’t enter this place if you like good food! I’ve never had such terrible Chinese food my whole life! The seafood fried rice was tasteless, and I found three little chewy shrimp and some cheap frozen calamari. The main course pork should have been called “main course, no meat, lots of fat only!” Service was like the food, terrible and the prices outrageous for the garbage food! I came to this place because I was hungry, and all the other places were packed. But I truly don’t understand why these terrible, so-called restaurants, with crappy food and service, always seem to survive! I wish I could give 0 stars because they don’t deserve more than that! And really, I’m not here to put restaurants to the ground, and if you read my other posts, it’s almost all 5-star ratings and great reviews. This dirty and terrible place should be avoided at all costs unless you want to torture yourself!

We ordered the weekday lunch specials. 3 dishes for $35. Sole fish with vegetables, pork with bitter melons, and drunken chicken. Very delicious! Service is not that good but food is good. Will go back to try pot stickers, soup dumplings, and other dishes.

The menus on the window made it seem like a fun delicious restaurant to eat at. I was wrong. The whole place smelled funny, the carpet had weird stains everywhere, the tables were sticky and not balanced. Our waitress looked so mad and upset that we showed up to eat. She was eating when we walked in and laughing at her phone. She give us mean looks anytime we asked for something. She never came to check on us until we called the bus boy over to get the check. The mug my mom was given, had lipstick stains all over the rim. When she asked for replacement, the waitress had this annoyed looked on her face. The food was good, but everything else was terrible. I don't recommend.

Exactly what you'd expect from a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown: no frills, acceptable service, and good food. The four of us split the pork soup dumplings, beef with peppers, pan fried noodles, and Shanghai bok choy. This amount was plenty of food and each dish hit the spot. Service was efficient and our waters were always filled. Would definitely come back for some tasty food!
