Dumpling House

Please keep in mind, I rate restaurants based on expectations. Obviously a Michelin star restaurant will have higher expectations than McDonalds. With that being said, Dumpling House was great for a lower end Chinese Cuisine. The dumplings were excellent! I would say the dumplings really stood out. Wonton soup was great. General Tso’s Chicken was dry and the chicken was chewy. The fried rice was good too. It was great for what it was. The waiter let us bring in pizza from the place next door for my kids since they don’t eat Chinese. Decently priced, great service, I was happy with our experience here!

The service is slow but the food is really nice! You can do takeouts or there’s a small seating arrangement, nothing fancy but id nice and comfortable. I loved the spring rolls, Chef special dumplings and the House special fried rice! I also tried wontons in chilli sauce and recommend trying spicy chicken if you like spicy food!

Great spot for incredible, fresh, homemade dumplings and authentic Chinese food. Food doesn't all come out at the same time because it is literally being made fresh in the kitchen by grandma. Loved the dumplings and the cold sesame noodles, amazing flavor. The atmosphere still looks like a "take-out" area in the dining room, which is not so bad, but I feel like the quality of the food would pair well with a little fancier, nicely lit dining area. Overall, the food is worth dining in for and the service was above and beyond.

The best Chinese (Szechuan) restaurant I’ve found in Connecticut and is up there with places I’ve been all over the US and Europe. They have a very authentic menu as well as Americanized favorites. The staff is always very friendly. You can tell they use fresh ingredients as everything I’ve had there has been amazing. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but don’t let that fool you. Come in, order, and eat and enjoy. You won’t be let down. Update from 17 May 2023 I can’t stress enough how amazing this place is. We’ve become regulars and have tried a wide array of their dishes and they’re all equally exceptional. The owner is one of the nicest people you could meet as well and you can tell she takes pride in what she does and truly enjoys it. I would rate this restaurant 6 out of 5 stars if I could. It really is at the top of my list for restaurants in CT. It’s as unassuming and unpretentious as it can be and delivers 100% time and time again. This place is a gem.

We visited Dumpling House with high expectations and were not disappointed. The restaurant serves authentic Chinese food that is plated very appetizingly. The extensive menu offers a wide range of Chinese dishes, each prepared with distinct care, avoiding a cookie-cutter approach. The self-made buns were clearly crafted with a tasteful touch, as were the self-made dumplings, delicate and flavorful. The Tangerine Beef was a standout, vibrant and delicious, as was their Sichuan Ma-Po Tofu. The latter had an authentic Sichuan spiciness that is hard to come by. Their Walnut Shrimp was both visually appealing and incredibly tasty. Despite the restaurant's unassuming exterior and fairly plain interior, it’s the outstanding food that truly makes this place shine. It’s a reminder that appearances can be deceiving—inside those modest walls is a world of extraordinary flavors. Overall, just very good food; we were thoroughly satisfied with our experience.
