Little Dumpling

I called ahead to order some chicken pad Thai for pick up and in 20 minutes I was at the restaurant and it was ready at the front. It was an easy transaction to pay and leave but the lady wasn’t very friendly and seemed annoyed she had to help a customer. When I got home and began to eat, i found the noodles were spicier than what I ordered (mild) and it had an ok flavor. Too much cabbage and carrots were on top and not nearly enough bean sprouts. I’ve been on a Thai kick lately and this place has been the worst of the bunch.

Service, staff, and atmosphere is very nice. Clean and stylish. We got the Family Meal C which included really great appetizers and a spicy shrimp soup. The entrees were pineapple fried rice, pad Thai, and yellow curry. Everything tasted great, EXCEPT: I came here because I was craving yellow curry specifically. What came to us was not yellow and definitely not curry. It had a pasty, jelly consistency and tasted so very bland. Nowhere even near curry– I asked if they made a different version and was told no, not really. I wanted to give 2 stars for that disappointment but ended up giving 3 because everything else was good. Just stay away from curry.

The people that work there seem really nice but the food just seems super plain Jane. We live nearby and wanted Chinese so though we would try this place for ourselves. I ordered the lemon chicken and it didn’t seem to have a lemon taste at all. Just a yellow glaze over the chicken that didn’t really taste like much at all. We also got the chicken chow mien noodles and again, really bland. They do offer free food when you order over a certain amount. Which was nice. We chose the egg rolls and they were good. The restaurant looked nice and clean inside. To be honest even though this place is not anything to rave about, if you have a a long day and just want something quick and easy I could see us coming back to try something different. But we won’t be regulars.

While being sick and to weak to make dinner I decided to order their delicious food. Unfortunately after an hour and a half wait the wrong order arrived and it cost more then my original order. I called and their excuse was the were busy and the store manager was helping the driver make deliveries. The woman I spoke to through the manager under the bus saying that she messed up and gave us the wrong order. Either way I asked for my money back which they complied and they said we could keep the wrong order.

Perhaps the saddest Thai I’ve had in a while.
Ambiance: B+. Small dining area.
Bathrooms: C-​. Grimy light switches, soap dispensers and floors. Toilet paper on the floor. At least there was paper towels and soap.
Service: B+. Fast and friendly enough. Accommodating.
Food: D+/C-. Panang curry was flavorless — could barely taste the curry. The beef is that over tenderized rubbery stuff they put in any of their beef dishes. The pad thai was sad and tastes like ketchup sauce and rice noodles. There were maybe 5 shrimp in there. The pineapple fried rice was mostly rice and had a few pieces of chicken and egg in it. No other vegetables other than the stray water chestnut. It had more curry flavor than the panang. Salt and pepper wings tasted good.
Value: C.

We have been here 2 times in the past month. Contrary to a lot of reviews, we find it delicious. The fried rice is very good. I love the egg drop soup.
The egg rolls are not my favorite and the chicken wings were very tasty but very very greasy.

Third time visiting. Ordered our usual Wor Wonton soup and 2 egg rolls. Both my wife and I got major food poisoning later that night. Not good.

Omg. The inconsistency. The egg rolls go from stellar to about to turn to crispy to a lava flow of grease running down my arm. Tom kha delivered in a styrofoam container creates tom kha that tastes like styrofoam. The amount of meat in any dish varies tremendously. Oh and the last time I checked they’re closed on Tuesdays. No. Just no. The delivery guy is sometimes lightning fast. Like, it’s weird. It’s not enough to keep me placing orders with them, though.

I live Thai food and tired this place for to go few times but had the same ok experience.
I have tired lot of Thai restaurant in Vegas but this is not the best one. The curry we had was the worst flavor ever.
Pad see noodle was good
Tired this few time since its closet place to my home

Quite a bit for the meh food. I’ve never had egg flower soup that had a gel consistency. Some of the meal was really hot and some just warm.
The service was not very good. She was friendly but it seemed like she was unsure of herself. I did tip but not the percentage I normally would. I left 10% and normally I would leave at least 20.
Won’t be back

I really enjoy all the food here. Everything is always fresh and yummy. The chá thai is my favourite (thai tea) I like that it is not too sweet and has the stronger flavour.
The Honey Walnut Shrimp is nice and sweet– but not over barring. Much better than Lulu’s Hawaiian bbq. I also love to order the crab rangoon and fried wontons. Im not too big on the spring rolls but my brother loves them.
My next favorite thing is the pineapple fried rice, I really like the curry flavor inside. I do remove the cashews though.
Overall, Little Dumpling on Decatur is very tasty. I definitely recommend it to anyone seeking good, fresh, and yummy Chinese food ! :D
I love eating at Little Dumplings: D

good vegetarian meals, my father in law says. I on the other hand have tried the chicken fried rice 3 separate times. today being the 4^th, all 4 times the rice is cooked in burnt oil, it tasted horrible, I have brought it to the attention of the people there, while apologetic it never gets fixed, I am done with this place, never again

Veggie Spring Rolls were mushy on the inside to the point where they had the consistency of a bean burrito. The Spicy Garlic Chicken wasn’t inedible but it wasn’t good. I had a piece of chicken that came with bone and fat attached to it. The Basil and Mint Beef was mainly bell peppers, it came with hardly any beef.
The staff was okay. Attentive but nothing extraordinary. One employee accidentally charged a guy $ 85 on accident while we were here. I’m not sure if the lady that was working was an owner or manager or what but she brought her two kids in that kept walking around at first.
The overall food quality was poor. We won’t be returning.

I first came here about a month ago and we ordered the Thai dinner set menu to go. It had a variety of items and we all liked it.
I thought I would try it again, so yesterday my family and I went to dine in. I ordered the yellow curry. I should have known better when the server said «just to let you know it’s American style». Not knowing what that actually meant, I figured I would try it. Big mistake. It wasn’t anything like curry. They didn’t even use coconut milk. It was just some chicken in some kind of gooey green sauce. It wasn’t horrible, but not what I wanted. Actually I think this was their version of green curry and I ordered the yellow. Who knows maybe the yellow is better?
Sadly, I didn’t settle right later in the evening and I had to drink chamomile tea to calm my stomach. I won’t go back.

I truly do not take giving 1 star reviews lightly. I know it can make or break a business and owning a restaurant in these times must be a struggle with competition. You would think that would make Little Dumpling try extra hard.
All that being considered carefully, this was the worst Chinese food I’ve had. Ever. It was so bad that I am not even willing to give them a second chance.
The Gen Tso chicken — had the texture of precooked, frozen, deep fried, re-​deep fried and then deep fried, again. It wouldn’t break down after chewing it & chewing it. Dry, flavorless, with goopy syrup at the bottom. I could have soaked it in water and it would have kept its dry texture.
People who have raved about this dish from here have never had good Gen Tso.
BBQ Pork fried rice — Tasteless. No bbq flavor except they may have dripped some liquid smoke into it. Plus, very greasy.
Chicken Fried rice — Weird Chemical aroma and tasteless. Plus, very greasy.
House special dumplings — These were fairly tasty, I have to say, but again very greasy.
Egg rolls — these were inedible. Shiny pools of dripping greasy oil. No exaggeration. Almost soggy.
Corn soup — Slimy with about 5 kernels of corn through the pint. Tasted like gelatin.
Just terrible. $ 45 with the tip. Arrived on time.

I’ve come here a few times, and their food is very good, the portions are big. They serve Boba, and they give you a good amount of boba balls :) Only thing is that sometimes they take a while (a long while sometimes) for takeout-​but still very good

I am a Pad Thai fiend.
Thankfully this place has some pretty good chicken Pad Thai for a decent price that satisfies my cravings.
The lunch special comes with a couple of sides but if you’re doing take out unfortunately you have to pay extra for soup.
Their portions are big and taste is totally there. I’d recommend getting a 5 – 6 on the spice scale. It’s a happy medium where the heat doesn’t overpower the taste.
Little Dumpling definitely does the trick!

Whenever I think of Little Dumpling, I automatically think of Jimmy Fallon’s Thank You Notes. «Thank you dumplings for tasting better than you sound» Lol!
All jokes aside, I don’t get the bad reviews here. I really like this place. The food is good and so is the service. I’ve dined in a few times, cute little restaurant and very clean, no complaints. But mostly I like to use the delivery service. You can pay online, even include the tip so when the food comes to your door all you have to do is grab your food and say thanks! :) I’ll be honest, they do take a while to deliver but I’m sure 30 minutes seems like an eternity when you’re starving.
Everything I’ve tried so far has been good, but the General Tso’s chicken is my absolute favorite. Get two orders so you can have left overs the next day. Nothing better than leftover Chinese food. Ummm.

We have been ordering to go for a couple of years. The last 2 times they have had problems. Yesterday we ordered 4 dishes, egg foo young and Moo Shu Chicken.
When we got the order home and opened the Moo Shu, we thought something was wrong and finally figured out that it did not include any cabbage. As we eat we discovered the Egg Foo Young was burned. Because we generally like this place, I called to let the owner know of the problem in the kitchen. She was very impolite and in effect called me a liar about the cabbage. She did offer to refund the cost of the egg foo young, but I was so upset over her attitude I declined. We will now look for another Chinese restaurant with a better attitude and customer service.

Eh chicken chomein was good. Needed more chicken in it.
Salt and pepper shrimp was bland and soggy so I was not impressed. There’s an easy way to vent the styrofoam box so customers don’t end up with certain soggy foods.
We had it delivered and it came quickly. The driver was nice enough. We ordered off the eat24 where you prepay but the driver had us sign a copy. #first
Didn’t get any silverware but we survived.
Overall we’d try them again. Maybe order the dumplings.
