Hi Trendy Dumpling

We got the:Shrimp dumpling Shu Mai Dragon fruit Refresh Gold Yolk Shrimp Biang Biang Noodles Our favorites from the bunch were the Gold Yolk Shrimp and Biang Biang Noodles!!

We visited Hi Trendy Dumpling on a beautiful Saturday during lunch time. The restaurant is easy to find in the shopping area and offers plenty of parking. When you walk in you are greeted with a beautiful space that sets the rice tone for the experience.The waitstaff is very friendly and welcoming. They all work together to ensure that your experience is great.We skipped breakfast knowing we were going to want to sample as many items as possible. Here is what we enjoyed:- Soup Bao- Pan fried bao- Chili Oil Dumplings- Steam chicken dumpling- Dan dan noodle- Walnut shrimp

Stay away from Mongolian beef lunch boxBoth my wife and got sick from this vile concoction of meat and juice3 days out and still nauseated!!!

These are some reliably great dumplings near the heights. The rest of the spots we would typically go for soup dumplings are either in Chinatown or Midtown, either way a bit tougher to get to. The pork bao are solid. Singapore noodles were spicy, but a little dry. The meat in the noodles was cooked very well, though.This is kind of a small location, so around dinner time there can be a 10-20 minute wait.

So, it was alright. Outside is kinda ominous, inside is nice enough. I came to enjoy a solo lunch and was a few min shy of the lunch menu- chef was gracious enough to honor the menu for me anyway. I ordered the Szechuan shrimp (historically not my fav but my server recommended) and a size of biang biang noods bc they look so good in every pic. Maybe it was bc i came at menu change, but everything was satisfactory, not next level. Veggies were fresh and plentiful in the shrimp serving. Noods were maybe bland? It was my first time having them, so maybe that's right. Green beans were yum but a little cool in temp. I'd come back for another visit. Two word review: lunch spot.

This Asian restaurant is located at The Heights ( Yale st), location is very easy to access and there is plenty of parking.From outside looks like any other restaurant at a shopping center, but once you open the door they have a cute decoration for the Lunar Year. Restaurant is clean and roomy.I like they have pictures on the menu to help if you are not familiar with these type of food (like me) and also they have instructions on how to eat a special soup they have, I think that is great.Prices are affordable and the amount of food is generous.We got two servers, the guy, a mature man was short and direct to the point, English a little broken but still able to communicate, the girl was very nice and attentive and her English was easier to understand.There was a lot of Asian people eating here, that is a great indicator for the author the food.We ordered the pan fríen bao with pork meat, very very delicious, a must if you go.We also ordered pineapple combination fried rice and it was beautifully served on a pineapple! We also got Biang Biang noodles, so delicious.And you have to try their refreshers, we got Mango and also Lychee, both were so good! Overall this is a great place to come and eat !

Ok I know a lot of my reviews have high starts, I like to eat at good restaurants in the area. The chili oil dumplings here are a must have, that chili oil is everything here. When ever we come we just get appetizers and have yet to order a whole plate lol. The soup dumplings are also fantastic, pro tip order them and the chili oil dumplings, put the chili oil on the soup dumplings, fire. Wash it down with a lychee or mango refresher or one of their many flavorful teas, you won't leave disappointed. Staff is friendly and attentive, the little old lady is the sweetest and my favorite.

Checked out this place on a Friday right when they opened. Wasn't too crowded and service was extremely kind and quick. We had a baby with us, and they were super sweet to her and accommodating . We ordered the soup dumplings, the chili oil dumplings, egg plant in garlic sauce and Hunan beef.Soup Dumplings, Chili Oil Dumplings and Egg Plant were 5/5. I wasn't a fan of the hunan beef and really just picked at the broccoli. Definitely check it out, pricing was good and service was great. Not too loud and nice for a lunch date!

Hi trendy dumpling is a great filler for "I want some soup dumplings and I don't need a ton of variety". It can take awhile to get seated but once you're there the food comes pretty fast. There isn't a ton of variety on the menu and I would say most dishes as a 3-4 star out of 5.Chili oil dumplings - they're ok, but I'm a bigger fan of Mala.Soup Dumplings - reliable and good, the dipping sauce is pretty great.Entrees - I'm a bit picky so I tend to find one place that I love their general tso and another place where the sesame chicken is great. Nothing has particularly stuck out at Hi Trendy yet, but I keep going back so that at least says there is enough good to give them repeat business.

I was amazed and disappointed in this place: amazed by how incongruent the reviews and food were against the actual experiences and disappointed by the poor quality of the food and horrible service. My first impression of how bad the place would be came almost immediately after being seated and being handed dirty menus. After ordering, I looked around and noticed a glass window into the kitchen, through which I noticed a guy pouring frozen dumplings into plastic bins. I was shook. I wondered how a place with "dumpling" in its name could fathom using frozen dumplings. I got up. I walked closer. I noticed an entire freezer filled with frozen dumplings and boxes labeled things like, "chicken dumplings," which were clearly purchased from somewhere else. The dumplings tasted frozen and poorly prepared. We ordered three orders of dumplings or various flavors, general tso's chicken, and their combination fried rice. All of it was trash. I feel confidently the positive ratings must have been purchased, because the food was totally incongruent with the food and service. The dumplings tasted like they were mass produced and frozen, which they were, which might have been the most authentic part of the experience. The general tso's chicken tasted like they were 80% bread and 20% chicken. The sauce was odd and not at all like any general tso's sauce I have ever had. The rice was unremarkable and the old edible part of our meal. Finally, all of the plates had cracks on them. I'd recommend you stay away from this place.
