The worst Chinese food I have ever ordered in my life. The kung pao chicken was so salty I couldn’t taste anything but salt, the pieces of chicken were fatty and had skin attached, the crab Rangoon had what tasted like Philadelphia cream cheese and that’s all inside, dumplings were meh, the frozen ones from Trader Joe’s are better, house fried rice was disgusting. Good luck everyone!

Love this place and drive here almost weekly from a half hour away. While I cannot attest to their soup dumplings, I can say that their shanghai noodles and shrimp dumplings are amazing. The shrimp dumplings are some of the best I’ve ever tasted and have quality ingredients. Food comes hot and is served quickly. The wonton soup is okay; the actual wontons are amazing but the broth is akin to dirty dishwater. I can live with it though. Its a bit pricey but to me the food is worth it!

Edamame is good and we often get a few. The fried rice is terrible while the general tso’s tofu is acceptable.

Highly recommended! The food is nice, and the price is reasonable. The service is amazing, def. go above beyond. I ran into the store late, and they tried their best to make it. After a tiring day, it’s really nice to have a place like this to go to for a nice meal.

The food barely passed the ability of being edible. Crab rangoon was cheap flavorless dough with no crab, just cream cheese. Sesame chicken was so crispy but I could barely taste any chicken inside. It was like gristle and I even had to pick out bones from the meat. The sauce was alright. The only thing saving the whole meal were the dumplings. You would hope that with the title, they would at least try to do that right. I’m pretty sure the only reason this place stays open is because they deliver to hungry drunk people late at night. Otherwise it’s not worth your time.

Over the decades, as Yummy Hut & then Dumpling Kitchen, this was a solid, cheap, convenient choice. Then a few years ago they forgot how to cook. Mala Beef was so salty my teeth buzzed. Figured that was just a one off mistake, and tried again a few months later. Same thing. So we didn’t order there again for 2 years. I gave them another chance. This time, the 2nd worst Chinese food of my life.

Crab Rangoon, scallion pancakes, and general Taos was delicious. Orange chicken was just okay. It’s such a bonus they stay open so late so I’ll definitely be returning for late night grub. They get the orders out super quick and they staff is friendly. Really can’t go wrong

The food was not good. Everything was hot and the service was OK. The quality of the ingredients and the preparation lack effort. We ordered several of the most popular items from the menu. The teriyaki chicken was OK. Didn’t care to eat much of anything else. Dirty dishwater vibes.

After reading so many negative reviews I felt compelled to highlight my positive experience. I ordered Mala spicy beef and spicy chicken wings. Both were set to mild spicy. Both items were spot on. The exact taste and spice I was craving. Beef was cooked well and enough meat with a combination of onions and peppers.
