So good! I came here yesterday and my wife and I came back today! Highly recommend the peanut butter pork dumplings. The sauce is so amazing I ended up dipping all of my other dumplings in it. Rest of the order was the pan fried pork & chive dumplings. Also incredible. As for drinks - there are a lot of them. I ordered a Watermelon Code the first day. It's good, but I didn't think it was worth $6. It does taste fresh and refreshing though. The giant hunk of watermelon took up most of the cup so I ran out fast. Another weird thing is their cup lids, I found them about as fun as paper straws. Second day I got a lychee mint lemonade. I'd go with that (or any of the lemonades/sodas - they make all of them with all of the flavors listed) over the watermelon code. Water is only available in a bottle for $1. Not a bad price, but I prefer dirty sink water with ice. I'll be back and will work my way through all of the dumplings (and most of the drinks). Nashville sorely needed a place that made this high quality of dumplings!!

Really great dumpling joint. Good variety, though the subtlety of the flavors in the dumplings get a bit lost in presentation (if that makes sense), as well as the accompaniments.Inside is a bit spartan; some decoration and reflective of the task at hand, but not the focused lack of aesthetic that other 'sanitized to the point of "stark"' popular dumpling domiciles I've been. Contrast this with the patio and the sunroom that can't be accessed from the main dining room, and it's an interesting setup. So the food, as the question begs:The novel rift that got crossed, for me, was that the fried dumplings came scraped off the flattop with the batter tying them all together. Meaty but loose inside, crispy crunchy base, and chewy dumpling outers put the texture contrast at the forefront. The sauce for the pizza dumplings was a bit overpowering, but still remarkably good. The peanut butter dumplings were sensational. I don't know if it's bastardized Thai, but don't skip on these, no matter your aversion to peanuts (save that if anaphylaxis and death, but they've got meds for that now, right?). Don't get me wrong here, I found the meal exceptional. Some fine tuning would have found my socks rolling up and down.Single best thing I had: the Asian pickled cucumbers. Savory, slightly sweet, umami abound; a delicate crunch of the cucumbers- I'm not sure if they're all that healthy, but I didn't care. Let me make a point here: I swear allegiance to meat. Meat is where cooking occurs- art and science all in one. Baking? Science and protocol. Cold dishes (salads)? Merely slicing and serving. The application of heat to protein (and this probably applies to the starch realm of dumplings) is where the epicureans get separated from the mailed meal kit mavens takes place. You cook meat well, and we're bigger friends that you probably bargained for. That detour aside, when I say the best thing I had had nothing to do with muscle or sinew, that's a BFD to me.Oh, and order more than remotely necessary. They make for fantastic leftovers, hot or cold. The purveyors know this all too well, as to go boxes are made readily available, self-serve.

Dumpling House is the perfect addition to Hillsboro Village. Their dumplings are legit, and this is coming from a second generation Chinese-American immigrant whose mother makes some delectable homemamde jiaozi and baozi. These are slightly small in my opinion, but the flavors are on point and the chew of the dumpling skin is perfection. These will cost you a pretty penny if you eat as many dumplings as I do, but if you have a craving, it's worth it. Plus, they also serve up some impressive boba teas and soups on the side. I personally love their pork and chive dumplings, but you can't go wrong with ordering. Their curry beef and onion reminds me of a curry dumpling from a chain I used to get habitually in Taiwan and HK. Honestly, you can't go wrong in any of your orders.There's mostly street parking here, so time your visit accordingly. If you don't mind a slight walk, you can always find a free spot near the park a few blocks away.

Clean location, the food was amazing I would have loved to eat at this location was very centrally located to downtown and the service was outstanding for a take out order. Definitely give them a try if you're in the area!

These were really great and authentic dumplings! I tried the pork. The crispy lace on the bottom of the dumplings was perfect. I tried the pork dumplings with peanut butter sauce which is also fantastic. You simply order at the cashier and then they'll bring it out to you. Parking costs money on Belcourt but parking by Fannie Mae dees park should be fine. The dumplings themselves are also a little expensive, but worth it. Will definitely return!

Brought my Lil' Dumplin back to the Dumpling House for more tasty treats. Fun bubble tea and fresh dumplings. The hot and sour soup is fabulous as well. Great fun place.

I came on a Saturday night. It was very busy. The line was long. There weren't any tables. Our friends got there first so they already had a table. We sat in the extended room and it was freezing in there. Our food took an hour too. A bit frustrating.I got the lychee mint drink. I was so excited cus I thought the drinks were soda and lemonade mixed together like how they do it in Asia but it's not. It's either or. But the girl said they could do both for me. It didn't taste like lemonade, just soda. There also wasn't much of a mint flavor present. It was fine tho. We got the peanut butter dumplings, pork wonton soup, pan fried spicy pork, pan fried curry chicken, and pan fried pork and shrimp. My favorite was the peanut butter dumplings. It sounds weird and I thought the peanut butter taste would be too overwhelming and thick but it was actually really tasty. Aside from the hour wait, I have no complaints.

My date was very happy with the food. I liked the pan seared spicy pork dumplings and cucumber salad. The cashier was patient and nice. Our food came out within ten minutes. The strawberry lemonade was great.

Dumpling House had raving reviews, so of course we had to drop in while in Nashville. We went about twenty minutes before they closed on a Saturday night. We came in and checked out the menu, it was a bit confusing. It said some things were out of stock but the person at the register said for us to ignore the menu because it wasn't accurate, so we were back to being confused and had to ask questions.We ordered Peanut Butter Shrimp Dumplings, Peanut Butter Pork Dumplings, A Half/Half (12pc) Curry Beef and Onion Dumplings & Veggie Dumplings (Pan Fried). The woman making the dumpling was a bit snappy when the lady who took our order asked if the Half/Half could be put in separate containers because I am a pescatarian. She snipped at the cashier, "don't do that again". That didn't really sit well with us because it didn't seem like the most challenging task but more importantly, there was a kinder way for her to communicate that to the cashier, and ultimately us since we were within ear shot and I'm pretty sure she knew that. But hey, it was late, they were about to close and maybe that was the rule. Either way, a kinder/clearer line of communication would've been appreciated and gone a long way. But nonetheless the dumplings were amazing.Peanut Butter Shrimp Dumplings (10/10) - The peanut butter sauce was nothing short of amazing. The dumplings were steamed to perfection and and flavorful.Peanut Butter Pork Dumplings (10/10) - They truly were identical to the Shrimp Dumlings, See above.Curry Beef & Onion Dumplings (10/10) - The curry beef was savory and juicy. The flavors were very robust. It can be described as a party in your mouth.Veggie Dumplings (Pan Fried) (10/10) - These were a different texture than the other because they were the only pan fried ones and I simply loved them just the same. They also had nice crunch throughout with the veggies.They didn't come with the peanut sauce but the sauce was so good I used it to coat these ones too.

I finally got to try the dumpling house. It's been on my list! First of all, it's adorable, and there is plenty of outdoor seating. There was a wait for a table available, and when we got seated, the table wasn't very clean. I had the tiramisu boba, which was delicious and not too sweet, and I loved that the boba wasn't overcooked. The food was flavor my friends, and I shared and ordered different once. We had a chicken curry, spicy pork and veggie dumplings. All of the dumplings are flavorful really good. The soup dumpling was nice flavor broth. There are plenty of fillings and nice sizes. I my only complaint was its in a high price. Be mindful when you order and the pre filled tip amount can add up. Also there was no option to change the tip amount or customize it. My only complaint was that the table was dirty. I'm glad I tried it!
