Great Food, But Got Sick Twice
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food was great, earning a high rating. However, I unfortunately got sick twice from eating here on different occasions. I attempted to contact management to inform them about these issues, but they were never available. The service received a rating of 4, and the atmosphere a 3.

Must-Try Pan-Fried Dumplings!
My experience at this restaurant was great! The pan-fried dumplings were a must-try with their unique crust. While other dishes were also good, they felt comparable to what can be found elsewhere. The restaurant was busy, so planning ahead is advised. Enjoy!

Dumpling Home: A Go-To Spot!
My experience at Dumpling Home was fantastic! It's a go-to spot for dumpling lovers. The dumplings were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I appreciated the great variety, which allowed me to try a little bit of everything. The vibe is casual and cozy, making it perfect for a quick, satisfying meal.

Good food, friendly service, a bit crowded
My experience at this restaurant was positive overall. The food quality was good, and I was particularly impressed by the very friendly waitress who had the patience to answer all my questions. While the space was a little crowded, it wasn't an issue once we were seated. The service was excellent, rated 5/5, and the food also received a 5/5.

Perfect Lunch with Exquisite Food
My experience at this restaurant was a perfect lunch. I had the best wings I can ever remember eating; they were so crispy with a delicious glaze. The bao dumplings were exquisite, truly works of art, and sipping that broth was yum! I washed it all down with a Thai tea. The food was rated a 5 out of 5, and the atmosphere was also a 5 out of 5. There was no wait time, and the noise level was moderate.

Delicious Xiao Long Bao!
My experience at this restaurant was quite positive. The xiao long bao were some of the nicest I’ve tried in the city, very fragrant and flavorful. The atmosphere was also rated highly, contributing to a pleasant dining experience. The food quality was excellent, and the overall service was also top-notch.

Disappointing Oily and Bland Food
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing, despite the long-standing praise and queues. While the service was great and the atmosphere was pleasant (rated 5/5), the food was a major letdown. It was excessively oily and surprisingly bland. We tried a variety of vegetarian dishes, including the Vegetable bao, Green onion pancake, Chef eggplant, and Saute jalapeno with dried tofu. Unfortunately, I would never recommend this place and will not be returning.

Food Great, Service Disappointing
We used to be semi-regulars at Dumping Home and genuinely enjoyed their delicious food and friendly service. On our last visit, the food was as terrific as usual, but the service was a huge disappointment. Our server, Tracy, exhibited an "attitude" from the start for reasons unknown. She never checked on us, and, most frustratingly, forgot one of our ordered dishes. Even after being reminded, she continued to ignore us until we sought help from another server to get our order. While I'm typically generous with tips, I felt compelled to leave none to protest such unprofessional behavior in the service industry. It's unfortunate, but we won't be returning and will advise our friends to do the same.

Delicious Dumplings, Worth the Wait!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially with their spicy soup dumplings and crispy fried dumplings. We order them every single time we visit because I simply can’t get enough of them! It’s a good idea to go early to avoid a wait.
