Bold Dumpling

The Bold Dumpling and several other eateries are located in an eatery called The Block. We had originally gone there from a former experience with some Thai food which is no longer there. We thought dumplings sounded good for some eats. We ordered the pork and shrimp soup dumplings and chicken dumplings. They make your order fresh and give you a pager to use when your food is done. The food was done quickly. The pork dumplings come out in a small bamboo steamer. They were hot and juicy. The other dumplings were fried perfectly and the chicken inside was tasty. While hip in feel, It's very noisy in there. Conversation is difficult to have inside. In retrospect we would have liked dumplings with rice and something else. Shared parking.

Parking was easy, Since it's a huge parking lot. And we came at dinner time around 5.Food was great. Is it fancy Asian food? No, is it great Chinese/taiwan street food quality that tastes great? YES. Got the soup dumplings and the whole family rated them 7/10, and the kids are picky lol. Got the family platter and we took half the box home after 5 of us (including two teen age boys) ate that as our dinner.Also, super polite and friendly.

Second time getting their steak hibachi and both times were really good! The service I feel is a little on the slower side and it can be hard to find a place to sit down & eat. Definitely recommend for take out.

My go to is the pork soup dumplings! Perfect for cold nights and boy was it a chilly night. You can order online or place an order in person. It does get packed so I would recommend going during "off" hours. There is plenty of parking and plenty of sitting area as well. .

Sigh. It's never a good sign when you pick it because it's the last place open. They gave us our soup dumplings eat in even though we said carry out. They were oversteamed or something...all of them had no soup in them. Then the soup was leaking out of the bottom of the bamboo steamer. We waited 30 minutes... they gave my partner the dumplings first. Then we waited longer... and instead of giving him the other part of his order (some steak bowl) they tried to give him dumplings again. Then the cashier was hesitant to give a refund when we didn't want to wait another however long for them to make the dish that they were supposed to have been making. Management trying to make more money by staying open late but not staffing appropriately. Two people to take orders from literally everyone walking in, and one person in the back making everything. It's not right.

We sampled the shrimp and pork soup dumplings and were blown away by how fresh and delicious they were. We can't wait to try their other offerings next time. Just a heads-up, if you're in a rush, this might not be the place for you--they make everything fresh, so it takes a bit of time. But trust me, the wait is absolutely worth it!

Bold Dumplings is one of the many restaurants located at The Block - an Asian Food Hall. We were pretty hungry and wanted to sample a few things on the menu so we decided to order the Family Platter. Well, the name didn't lie - this meal is DEFINITELY for a family! The platter is probably enough food for 3-4 adults to be satisfied, with generous portion sizes and enough of each item that everyone can sample everything from the platter. Overall, the food was good, but we weren't expecting everything to be fried. Besides that, I would say Bold Dumplings is worth checking out and if you're coming with a big party then try the Family Platter.

The bold dumpling is inside the block of annandale. Love love their bao's! The pork is crispy and the sauce was perfect. The bao was soft and the meat fits perfectly. Great portion. Each portion comes with 3 baos and it works great as an apetizer! The service was quick! Not typically crowded until late night.

Would give this a 3.5 or 3.75 if I could. Went here yesterday around 7:15p. For a Sunday it was normal busy for The Block. Greeted promptly, and took about 15 minutes to be ready after ordering. They give you a buzzer so you know when to go back to the counter. I just ordered the 8 piece vegetarian dumplings for $12.99. I wish the menu had more details rather than just saying "vegetarian dumplings, 8 pc, steamed" to include details around the components of the filling - if the wrapping wasn't green I would have thought Jayne these were chicken dumplings bc I think there was tofu and the texture almost gave off ground chicken. I was expecting some veggies with a tiny bit of crunch after steaming like carrots or something maybe, but I believe it was tofu and cabbage. Nonetheless, the dumplings came out hot with a dipping sauce and were delicious and comforting. Besides the vegetable dumplings, vegetable and shrimp tempura, and vegetable egg rolls, there aren't alot of vegetarian or pescatarian options, and I only eat halal (which this place is not) , so I wouldn't go out of my way to try this again, BUT would come back if I was in the area looking for dumplings.

Meh to good. The location is awkward; it's part of a busy food court, with lots of tall chairs and group tables. It reminded me of a smaller version of a mall food court, which doesn't exactly conjure memories of fine dining.I ordered the dumpling combo; 3 beef, 3 chicken, 3 deep fried kimchi. The meal was ok but mostly forgettable. Not much else to say for a quick trip.
