Dumpling Man

12/19/2007 Posted by jpkmom

We love to go to Dumpling Man to watch the dumplings get assembled. My three year old is fascinated and then of course gobbles them up. We even had them as take out at our sons birthday. They were loved by parents and babies alike. Who would think kids (including babies) would adore dumplings so much. We are always happy with the food and we feel healthy eating them too. Also for some reason a few parents mentioned they had taken kids to chinatown and never had this type of sucess with dumplings. There is something special that everyone loves about Dumpling Man. You must go see for yourself.YUM!

Pros: Watching the dumplings get made and freshness

Cons: none

Small place, cute and friendly. The salads are great, and the dumplings are soooo good. If you want chinese dumpling, asian dumpling, japanese dumpling, or any kind of dumpling... their's are the best... they even have dumplings with tomato sauce. The t-shirts are soo cute. We got matching pins at the end. My dumpling heaven

Pros: the dumplings and the service

Cons: small place... good to get and take with you

The dumplings are amazing and made in front of your eyes, but it does take a bit of time so don't expect FAST food.

I really enjoyed seeing the dumplings prepared. I'm sure the ladies are bored to death, but I didn't know how to make dumplings before my visit. As for the food, I agree wholeheartedly with jcone -- the dumplings, sauce and price were a bit disappointing. If the skin was thin, the sauce had some flavor, and the price was just a little lower, I would be there three times a week. Oh well. I enjoyed my first visit.

Pros: Fun to watch them make the dumplings

Cons: Dumplings not that great

Places like Dumpling Man aren't for those interested in fine food. Nor are they neccessarily for authentic food. Dumpling Man serves roadside dumplings, and they are not too bad. I just ordered the shrimp ones and used a healthy dose of Siracha on the side. Just fine. I'd rate them just fine. It was awkwardly fun watching the ladies pinch future snacks, but found the experience a bit like watching a g rated peep show about savory pastries. I felt guilty and lucky at the same time to be on my side of the glass. The soda was cold, and welcome...and well, they have a bathroom you can use. That is always nice.

Pros: no frills, siracha on the counter, entertaining

Cons: could be cheaper...even, the dumpling sauce is flavorless.

I love this place. Cheap, healthy, fast, great tasting, fun atmosphere. Not the best place to order delivery from, best bet is to just go there! You won't be disappointed. Unique and fun.

Pros: food, fun, inexpensive

Cons: not the best delivery service

We, too, wondered why this place isn't called Dumpling Woman, since the smiling dumpling logo looked more like a she than a he. Never mind, I'm quite happy with the dumplings. As an avid maker of dumplings myself, I appreciate the thin, soft, slippery dumpling skin and the simple and delicious stuffing choices. I would not mind more and creative stuffing choices. I didn't try the cold sides available in the refrigerator but they looked fresh. Ambience is fine if you're ok with the on-the-go, counter-eating experience. Or, on a nice day, why not order half a dozen and enjoy the steaming hot little packets in a nearby park?

Pros: Good dumplings!, Hot, fresh, Friendly staff

Cons: More stuffing choices, would be nice

If you have the hankering for a quick Asian meal and you're in the area, I would say stop by. The dumplings are by and large pretty good -- I sampled a variety of different fillings, both steamed and fried -- but some of the different dumplings have a tendency to taste really similar to each other. Reasonably priced, although I would order more than you think you might need at first glance, as each piece is pretty small.

Pros: Reasonable price, Quick service

dumpling were below average and WAY overpriced. do not understand the hype or why the owner is so mad that someone is copying his logo.

I won't beat around the bush. The Dumplings here are ok. It's a bit more "unique" than traditional dumplings because they add other ingredients like corn into it. Other than that, this place is average. Maybe worth a visit if you have a dumpling craving you need to get rid of. If so, the marco polo, red sauce, and pork dumplings are pretty tasty... I would recommend those. You can also watch the cooks make the dumplings from scratch while you're eating. I wouldn't say this place is inexpensive but if you're really hungry, you're going to need a lot of dumplings to fill you up. The price adds up quickly.

Pros: some tasty dumplings

Cons: small, only dumplings
