Chineses Dumpling House

Since it’s CNY (Chinese New Year) eve and Chinese eat dumplings on that day.
8 of us picked this place, order many food and finshed all order, each share $ 15 cost. Below are my input:
1. service — accommodating, but not cozy
2. only steamed dumplings, not the traditional kind (boiled)
3. dumplings —
shell is OK, not much fillings — so, if you like only the dough, they are OK.
size — neither as Bernie C. described as huge nor same look as photos in Unilocal
4. could improve their fried dumpling.
5. Hot and sour soup and hot and sour soup noodle are OK, not your typical soup thou.
6. Spicy eggplant no meat — good
7. spicy clear noodle — delicious — sesame paste on top not attractive thou.

Apparently this place is a Northern Mainland Chinese eatery, different from the typical Cantonese restaurants out there in that they mainly focus on having a lot of meat, and not much vegetables on their meat dishes and dumplings. The dumplings are made in restaurant patrons’ eye view. There are fifteen dumplings per order ranging from 5 dollars to 8 dollars. The lamb dumplings were really delicious. They have a lot of meat dishes spiced with cumin. They have interesting soups and hot pot. During this occasion, I tried the herbal chicken stew which was really good. Also tried a tofu dumpling which was interesting. This is a great place to go when you have a group so that you can sample many dishes at one time.
If you love trying new things and love Chinese food, then check this place out.
Note: The food took a long time to come out, we ordered about fourteen dishes, but the restaurant forgot to provide two dishes, a fish dish and a pork dish. When asked if they were coming, they stated that there were no outstanding orders. Perhaps this is really a 3.5, as they forgot orders. This wouldn’t deter me from coming back though because I really like the variety of their menu.

I had the baked squid dish, and my wife had the cabbage and pork soup. They were both excellent. I looked around to see what people were eating, and their dishes look fresh, clean, and tasty. We will be back for more for sure. Serving staff was helpful and prompt especially considering it was a Chinese restaurant.
========================================
Went there again, and the food was mediocre;basically what this means is your experience will be based on what you order.
Disappointing dumpling for sure — Bibigo dumplings I bought at Costco, or dumplings sold at T&T market taste better than these. I went with 12 people, and some of the people I went with are from mainland China, and they agreed that dumplings at this place are mediocre at best.

We’ve been here a couple of time and it’s been a place that we go back now and again. The major highlight of the place is their affordable dumplings… especially love their seafood dumplings. The rest are good but pretty forgettable. The menu is extensive but gets boring quite fast. The meat dishes are a bit pricier than typical Chinese, but it’s a nice addition to the meal. The dumplings are good when they are hot but can be a bit edits to east once it cools, the skin gets tough and the texture becomes doughy. I personally like eating the dumplings with a sauce thus ask for sugar, soy sauce and add vinegar and hot chilli or satay oil. Bön appetite. Overall, I would recommend anyone woth a budget (for dumplings) or for those that wanna try northern Chinese region food.

I asked a server if they make Shanghai Soup Dumplings, and his response was «no, we only do dumplings» … All the food there was just ok. We are not going back there.

Our family of 5 went to the Dumpling House on December 31^st 2015. We barely had anything to eat that day so we were all pretty hungry so we ordered 5 dishes there. We ordered a fried fish dish, dumplings, beef noodles, assortment of veggies with mushrooms dish. Little did we know it was the WORST experience our family has ever had with any restaurant by far.
(Considering my family goes out to eat 1 – 2 every week and we’ve gone to A LOT of restaurants). All 5 members of my family came down with fever which led to stomach aches and vomiting for the entire night… The food they served at Dumpling House is NOT fresh hence why all 5 of us laid in bed the whole night and could not enjoy the new years countdown. To add on, the service there was mediocre, waitress never came to our table to check up on our food or us.
We WILL never go to the Dumpling House again. They do not serve fresh food and the prices are no better than other Chinese restaurants we’ve been to. Go at your own risk.

I really like coming here. I’m a big fan of steamed dumplings and I love the generous portions for the meal that you get. The service isn’t entirely the best buy I expect that for the kind of restaurant that it is and the price that you pay.
I love the fact that they have a wide variety of steamed dumplings to try. Each serving has 15 dumplings and range from $ 9 – 15. They could seek to improve on their fried dumpling selection.
They also have delicious appetizers and mains. We tried the Singapore style noodles and it was spicy enough but not too spicy. My favourite was their fish skewer appetizer. The fish was gigantic and it was almost like a full meal! It was seasoned well and was something different to try that I had never seen before.
Dumplings are standard but they are generous with the fillings and steamed perfectly — not too soggy or sticky. Mmm dumplings!

I was going to try Chilli Chicken House tonight (since it has such good reviews) but could not get in and takeout will be a 45min wait. :(
Finally, I walked around the plaza and stumbled upon this place. It looks decent from the outside so I went in. Menu is extensive so I ordered takeout and they said 15min! Done! 4 stars not 3
My order:
Jelly fish + cucumber — mediocre, but large portion, jelly fish is very crunchy (Isn’t it suppose to be blanched in hot water, then marinated and not completely raw? I’m more use to eating the traditional style i.e. cooked, seasoned, elastic texture.)
King mushroom + veggies — good
Spicy beef tendon — good, never seen this before
Spicy eggplant — good, no meat (love it)
Sweet & sour fish — good, fish pieces could be larger
Plain rice — standard, fresh
I actually liked this place. I didn’t dine in but it was pretty roomy with lots of seating. Food was good, not too salty, not loaded with MSG, not too spicy, just flavoured for your average palate, and large portions. Service was prompt, courteous, and efficient. Price was fair value. You see a lot of different cultures dining in as a family, which is a good sign.
I will return to try other stuff on their menu and perhaps dine in.

Had dinner here last night. Few tables seated but certainly not crowded. Probably more people around/​after 7pm. I think value is pretty good. Ex: If I was by myself, I can order a hot pot with noddle, shrimp and few other items for $ 10. Would be more than enough. Didn’t get a chance to take pictures or note what we ordered, but all items was pretty good. We did not order any traditional dumplings this time though. Wanted to try other items. To be honest, for anything related/​similar to traditional dumplings, I’d prefer homemade everytime. Would certainly go back.

First thought when arriving: Darn it, there’s a line up… Sunday dinner rush. To stay or not to stay…
Second thought when I stepped inside: Whoa, 100% Chinese crowd (including the lineup) and the main language was a mash up of mandarin/​cantonese. They can’t all be wrong about the food… And they weren’t.
The dumplings seemed to be the most obvious choice for any first timer and it’s exactly what I chose. Apparently, the lamb or seafood ones are the most popular. There was a dedicated dumpling station with 2 full time dumpling chefs, so you can see the magic in the making.
Food: (take out)
— Hot and sour soup: not bad, not great. I’d say that it’s around the middle of the pack. Could use some more «hot» and more «sour», but had a good amount of ingredients inside.
— Pork and Leek dumplings: Obviously freshly steamed but surprisingly, they travelled well too. When I opened the box 25mins later, I didn’t see one giant dumpling. I think they were delicious because when I looked down, there were no more left!
The skin had a nice consistency, chewy but not gummy. The insides were well seasoned… so very tasty. My only comment is that it was served with simple soy sauce and (I think) plain siracha chili sauce (you know… the green bottle top kind)…it was a good flavor profile but perhaps they could have stepped up with an original sauce.
All said and done, it was a cheap and cheerful, simple meal :)
Cash/​debit only, so don’t forget or you’ll be sorry!

After hearing so many good things about this restaurant in Markham, I happened to drive by found out they opened a new location here. After a long day of sightseeing in Niagara Falls, I was so looking forward to this meal. I ordered the pickled cabbage and leek pork dumplings. All I have to say, disappointment. The restaurant should be Northeastern Chinese style where pickled cabbage is an essential dish for every family. The dish tasted nothing like home. Instead of natural sour, the taste came from vinegar. There was way too much garlic in the dish too. Leek dumplings had way too much pork and there was barely any leek taste. I truly hope the Markham one is better. :(

My second time going was yesterday and it was equally as good as the first time. It’s busy but we didn’t have to wait long for the steaming hot food.
First order:
Pork and leeks dumplings
Beef and fried pancake wraps
lamb and oyster hot pot
Second Order:
Pork and cabbage dumplings
beef and fried pancake wrap
spicy lamp hotpot
friend pork dumplings
All the food was hot, tasty and good portion sizes. The beef pancakes came with 6 pieces of pancake the first time and 4 large ones the 2^nd time… would have preferred the consistency since there were 6 of us the 2^nd time X_​x
The dumplings had a lot of filling and they had the hot sauce and vinegar on the table for dipping. Don’t be over zealous like my friend was and burn your tongue!
The 2 hot pots were jam packed full of meat but i feel like they are missing some flavor, maybe because I’m used to my dipping sauce for chinese hot pot.
The menu is huge and I’m excited to go back and try some more rare dishes!
Service has been good both times and there seems to be more than enough servers. Where else can you get a huge meal for less than $ 9 after tax and tips!

Summary: slow service, food tasted burnt, floor napkin back on table, however very clean restaurant
Slow service: ordered at 6:15pm, by 7:00pm, we had received 1 dish
Food tasted burnt: I think they hadn’t changed their oil in awhile because 2 of our dishes that were deep fried (shrimps and short ribs) had a burnt taste to every bite
Floor napkin: A waiter dropped my dad’s napkin onto the floor. Instead of offering him a new one, he put it right back in front of him.
Clean: For a low-​end Chinese restaurant, it’s very clean. The washrooms are a lot more upgraded than the restaurant that was previously in this location.

Finally a dumpling-​specific place in Mississauga! This is the same franchise as the one in uptown, so I’m excited it has finally made its way here.
PROS:
— Good homemade dumplings to satisfy that fix
— Prices and portions are OK
— Noodle dishes were good
CONS:
— Slowww for food to come, this could be a hit or miss though
— Ordered the green onion pancake… didn’t have enough green onion for me, though I did like the right amount of crispiness
— Fried dumplings were a bit on a soggier side (sad face)
Consensus: Don’t expect the best dumplings ever (I’ve definitely tried a few better ones in Scarborough area), but they are good enough to satisfy your cravings if you are not in a rush for time. Will be back to try other options!

3 – 3.5*
Cheap (ish), as cheerful as Chinese waitstaff can be, with decent food. Again, not the best dumplings that I’ve ever had, but then again, how can you possible go wrong with dumplings? I’ve never had terrible ones and dunno how you can screw that up!
I can also vouch that dumplings were handmade as opposed to picked up from the freezer section of T&T, down the road.
Portions were quite generous. Steamed dumplings were cheaper than pan fried. Pan fried are $ 1/​dumpling, but also larger. You can easily feed 3 people for ~$ 20, no problem! I would not be opposed to going back.
P. S. What’s up with the name… seriously?

So for those with traditional Asian parents, they probably won’t like this place because your mom will think she can do better lol. However, putting everything into perspective, it’s pretty good.
Likes:
–Dumplings are cheap and delicious. You get 15 for 5.99 and they are huge. Some are slightly more expensive (e.g. lamb is 7.99).
–They have 20 or so different kinds of dumplings.
–Big menu with 100+ items
Dislikes:
–Dumplings are only prepared by one person so it takes around 15 – 20 minutes to arrive.
–Their other non-​dumpling dishes are fairly small for a Chinese restaurant
–No XLB (soup dumplings)
Verdict: overall, I still like this place and I think it’s a great place for those who want traditional Chinese dumplings, great choice. If you would rather have anything but dumplings, there are better choices in Mississauga. #Dumpling love

Chineses dumpling house, Chineses not Chinese, is an authentic Chinese restaurant. We have the cabbage with vermicelli, shredder pork and shrimp with veggies. The food was a little greasy but tasted really good.
I went with a friend who has spent many years in China and this was the first place he was able to find that had food that reminded him of the food he had in China. There are a lot of other Asian cuisines near by so if they are really busy you can try one of the other ones.

It is good to have something new in Mississauga, so we will have more competitions.
We ordered 2 kinds of dumpling, steam and pan fried. Both of their dumplings were pretty good, and they were very juicy inside.
We also ordered spicy pig ear, but it turned out to be very tasteless and not spicy at all.
The spicy beef tendon was the best dish so far for the night. It was spicy, and very tasty. It just make my mouth watery even thinking of it again.
We also had some of their noodle soup and pork wonton, and I have to say its pretty good as well.
The bad part about this restaurant were:
1. Maybe they are new or maybe business is pretty good. We had to change 2 of the dishes because they told us they don’t have it.
2. Half of our dishes we ordered were kind of tasteless, maybe they wanted to be on the healthy side but I had many China style food before and this restaurant was the tasteless one I found. We ordered around 10 dishes, and 4 of the dishes were pretty bland.
3. The tea that they gave us are «watery». You guys know how tea has this tanned color in them but their tea was like clear boiled water with few tea leafs inside. I looked inside the tea pot but there was no tea leafs inside. I assumed the tea came out from a central machine and they didn’t change the old tea leafs to a new one and used that batch all day long. Also, the «watery tea» was warm and not hot.
Price was alright. I might go back but probably will just eat their dumplings…

This is newly opened in the sauga hood — with two other locations in Thornhill and Markham. We decided to visit it for Father’s Day. It quickly filled up for the Sunday lunch-​hour rush, but the place is spacious and clean. Single room bathrooms are large and tidy (a bonus in my books for small Chinese places).
We ordered the beef & onion pancake, chicken and mushroom dumplings, fried dumplings, and chicken fried noodles. The service is a bit slow (two people serving all the tables), but they have someone making fresh dumplings or pulling fresh noodles to distract you from your hunger.
The pan-​fried dumplings were the rockstar of the meal. The noodles ranked second due to their freshness and texture. The beef and onion pancake surprisingly was DIY, but it allowed us to see how much meat they gave you. One thing I was sad about was the XLBs. That don’t exist here. Why?!.
Otherwise, the place is pretty decent, and already is pretty popular (a line out the door waiting for tables). I’ll be back to try a few other things later. Hopefully some XLBs will magically appear on their menu.
Note: cash only!

Yes is it called Chineses and not Chinese.
Love the price of the steamed dumplings. 6 bucks for 15 dumplings. Wow.
It is a chain store. I wish they had more selection for sauces and not just vinegar.
I will definitely be back.
