House of Dumplings Reviews
Definition of hole in the wall hidden gem. I've tried this place a few times now and they never disappoint. The pork and corn dumplings and pork, shrimp,and chive dumplings are my go to. The salt and pepper fried tofu is a must have; crispy on the outside and soft inside - doesn't get soggy! Last but not least, the green beans. Super addicting and goes great with any main dish. ( warning, might be better than the main dish) The owner and workers are super nice and friendly and the great value for quality of food. They even sell the dumplings and buns in bulk if you want to bring it home for a rainy day. A must try 10/10.
Mom and pop little dumpling restaurant. Only a few tables. They had a steady stream of take out and doordash orders. We ordered soup dumplings, pork and green bean dumplings, and lamb and vegetable dumpling. Soup dumplings were juicy but could have used a little more flavor. I think it would have been better if the green beans were chopped up instead of mixed with the pork. Lamb and vegetable dumpling as you would expect.
This is where I get my orders of frozen dumplings to enjoy at home. Having a stash in the freezer is an absolute must! Yum! The restaurant is small, and the tables fill up quickly, but the service is very relaxed and authentic. No pretenses - just delicious dumplings at a great price.
Haven't been able to come for a while and man, still delicious little nuggets of joy! Love these dumplings and the multilayer green onion pancake. Even my girls (7&9) loved the multilayer green onion pancake and the chicken and corn dumplings. They ate the whole dozen of them between them and a piece of the pancake each. I ordered the 3 flavor dumplings (pork shrimp and chives) and my mom got the fish and chives. The service was fine, though with only one person working the front she was super busy. We are patient though and got everything we ordered and ate while we were there at one of the 5 small tables. Ambiance isn't amazing because it's so small and a little cramped but the dumplings are definitely worth it. The multilayer pancake is delicious and crispy as well. I wish we lived closer but sadly I live in Knoxville so I can only come when I visit family. If you love dumplings, you need to visit the House of Dumplings. They sell frozen dumplings you can cook at home too.
Great food and great service. Small family run spot with good food for a good price. One of those local gems next to a liquor store and dog park across the street. Love this place and will keep coming for the dumplings
