Dumpling House (Walnut St)

“Excellent attentive service for less than inspiring food.”

We’ve been coming to this dumpling house for years, but recently the improvement in food quality has been so substantial that I felt compelled to finally write a review. We come here with family, with friends, for celebrations, it’s our go-to spot. The owners are genuinely warm and welcoming, and the service is always great. The location is convenient with easy parking, which is a nice bonus. Now, the food. Absolutely must try the salted dry diced chicken with chili, best in all of New England.

Every few weeks I make it a point to come to this restaurant and eat a nice meal. The service is always on point and ready to assist whenever I need them. (Just raise your hand and they will come over) They serve a wide variety of traditional Chinese dishes ranging from the classic General Gau’s to my favorite offering the Szechuan Spicy Pork Belly. Everytime I go I make it a point to order something new. Thats not hard with their menu that has over 276 options. Below I put photos of my latest order.

I went here hoping for a good vegetarian-friendly meal, especially given the number of tofu options on the menu, but the overall experience was very disappointing. We ordered vegetable lo mein, chili deep-fried soft tofu, and vegetable & mushroom bao buns. The lo mein was mediocre at best, and the tofu added to it felt oddly fried and thrown on top, completely out of place. The standalone chili tofu was decent, but unfortunately the bao buns were terrible — poor texture and flavor, and honestly hard to eat. Shortly after the meal, I felt sick and ended up throwing up. I can’t say exactly what
