Dumpling Daughter

I ordered here on Uber Eats and was able to try a bunch of different things because there were a ton of deals! Overall I was satisfied by their dumplings- the meat was fairly seasoned and with a decent bun to meat ratio. The rangoons were delightfully crispy and the pancakes were chewy. My only complaint is that the scallion noodles were quite sweet and I wished they were saltier, but that's just a personal preference! I will definitely order again

3.3 stars is accurate. In fact, I'd just give it 3 stars. First of all, everything was too salty. From the Beijing noodles to the pan fried dumplings. The only thing not salty was the chicken noodle soup. The counter service was friendly. The food was served fast. Definitely fast casual style. The inside tables typically seat 2-4 people, with one table accommodating a larger maybe 5-7 people group. Many delivery drivers come pick up orders here.The inside is pretty spacious. They have free water. Not sure if this would be preferred choice for future visits.

A few things I did not know. This is a review for the South Boston restaurant..It is primarily takeout with a counter space with 3 chairs to eat your food.It is the same dumplings that are Dumpling Daughter brand in the frozen food section of your grocery store. It's a limited offering on the menu but I checked it out before arriving. Came today first time. Vegetarian dumpling was a disappointment, doughy and lacking flavor. Noodle dish with 3.00 extra for vegetables was good. It was much better as a leftover later at home at room temperature. The flavors came out. Spring roll just ok, lacking flavor more oily than expected. The beef bun was reportedly good. Splitting the noodle dish and a beverage it came out to 35.00 for 2. Was enough food. Not sure I would go back. As the dumplings I saw in their kitchen were premade frozen. Service was fast at the counter and 15 min. Wait for the food. 2 workers too many. Not sure they know the condiments.No ambiance here it's take out.With many other dumpling restaurants to try I'll pass on coming back. I can find Dimpling Daughter in the grocery store, why bother?

Great dumpling place that makes for a good appetizer/snack place or you can just go full on dumplings as your main course.ATMOSPHERE/ARCHITECTURE: 8/10Cute little shop inside that is a casual laid back place that is good for a small group to come and hang out.SERVICE: 10/10I'll comment on their delivery primarily since I have had a really outstanding experience with delivery with them. Everything was packaged neatly in little takeout containers and not only that, but they were nicely labelled as well. I cannot count the number of times I have ordered from other dumpling places and just gotten a sack of dumplings all mixed together. A surprise in each bite I guess. But not here! Bravo!FOOD: 9/10I thought overall, the food was quite good. I'll highlight a few dishes.BBQ Pork Bun - 10/10 - One of the best pork buns that I have had. Most of the time, the wrapping of the bun is dry and kind of flaky, but here, it was steamed perfectly and the bun was moist, and not only that, but the internal filling was delicious.Pork & Cabbage / Pork & Chive Dumplings - 8/10 - Flavorful and as advertised. These were good and what one would expect from a dumpling place. It's not set apart from anywhere else, but that does not make them bad either.Chinese Eggplant & Garlic - 7/10 - One of my favorite traditional Chinese dishes. The flavor was there for this with just the right amount of heat. It was just a bit too oily, which I know it is typically oily, but this was on the heavier side for sure.VALUE: 8/10Decent.PROBABILITY OF RETURN: 9/10TO EAT OR NOT TO EAT: Eat.OVERALL: 9/10

Food is mediocre. Tried their scallion lo mein, scallion pancake and beef/onion bun and the best part of everything was the dough of the bun. The noodles did t have much flavor. I personally prefer scallion pancakes with more scallions in them and the ones here were mostly dough. The filling to dough ratio of the bun was pretty good. The service was quick otherwise and there was plenty of seating when I went which was nice.

They have street parking, and I came in during lunch hour. First entering the restaurant, it looked nice, with a lot of articles hang on the walls about the owners, how successful the restaurant is and how they started the business. It is self severed, where you order, pay upfront and clean up by yourself. The cashier was super nice and friendly. We ordered - pan fried pork dumplings: tasted likes the one I can bought at any Trader Joe's. Definitely not $9 quality. You will need to ask for chili oil on the side if you want spicy. -Dan Dan mien: the noodle didn't cover evenly with the toppings. I tried to mix it as well as possible. But the noodle was too oily, yet not absorbed the meat topping. It just feel like they are two separate components got throw together as a dish. -Salmons rice bowl: this was just sad. The rice under neath the salmon topping was cold and hot at the same time. Some spots cold, some spots hot. It presented the rice was microwaved and not in a thorough way. Again, the flavor was not there. The salmon was too blain. With the same amount of money, I can go to the Chinatown and get the freshly made dumplings instead of the store-bought flavors one.

The food here is great, butthe service here gave me pause yesterday afternoon. The young woman at the counter was so easily confused. I asked for soy sauce and she seemed to have no idea what I was talking about. It's a Chinese restaurant! Soy sauce!! Then, since the soy sauce wasn't salty , I asked for some salt. Once again, she was completely flustered and had no idea what I was talking about. Somebody very kindly poured me a little cup of what I later realized was sugar.They were very nice and apologetic about it amd offered me a refund. I told them it was okay because the dumplings really hadn't been that bad with sugar on them. But really, you should not have someone at the front counter who cannot handle simple, normal requests like that.

It's a casual place with a few tables and self-service water. The menu isn't very large and overall on the cheaper side than other places. I ended up getting the organic tofu bowl, and it was just okay. Nothing too special and slightly salty and spicy. For this bowl, I paid a little under $14, which seems expensive for what it really is. Not sure I'll be going back, but if you need something quick, you can check this place out.

Ordered the chicken dumplings pan seared.... No taste, like cardboard, small size, minimal filling, tasted previous frozen ... Trader Joes frozen dumplings next store over better taste and value ... 8.20 with tax Biden Shrink flation of size of dumplings not worth the grief ... listened to workers talking loud in Spanish non stop while waiting... ambiance was that of a Spanish flea market haggling and left me with headache vs. soothing Chinese music...or silence

My partner and I got the farm raised chicken cutlet Taiwanese buns, pan-seared pork & napa cabbage dumplings, pan-seared vegetable dumplings in spicy chili peppercorn sauce, and dan dan mien noodles -TASTE: 4/5 - really enjoyed the well-seasoned chicken cutlet, paired w tonkatsu sauce and pickled radish. For me, the pork & cabbage dumplings were more tasty and satisfying than the veggie dumplings. Wish the noodles were spicier, but enjoyed the creamy tasteTEXTURE: 4/5 - the soft, pillowy buns, fried chicken cutlet, and crisp pickled radish were great in the buns. The mustard greens were a nice touch to the minced pork in the noodles PRICE: 4/5 - total came out to $44SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - good portions for lunchSERVICE: 4/5 - walked in at noon on a Monday and only a few tables were occupied. Ordered at the counter, and our food started coming out 10min later ATMOSPHERE: 5/5 - vibrant and airy space w lots of neat elements: photos of the family's previous restaurant, Dumpling Daughter merch, a ChopValue bin to recycle used chopsticks, and a variety of seating options to accommodate group sizePARKING: 4/5 - got lucky w a metered street spot right in front of Dumping Daughter on Beacon St
