Dumplings are the must. Yet to try their other stuff. My 1 chicken dumpling order took 25 mins but it was a busy lunch hour so I guess that was the reason.
Tip: Serve with a smile on your face
No idea what were the items ordered since my parents took the wheel for this one. I just sat and ate, teehee. Their restaurant space is small but they made it work with marble tables and Chinese style chairs… The walkway area was really tight though. Tea was offered and there were several type of sauces to fit your taste – vinegar, soya sauce and even chili oil!
First off the homemade dumplings are great. Who doesn't love homemade dumplings?
Also they have other stuff on the menu that's a fave such as the braised eggplant, the Chinese pancakes with meat, little pork strips and too many more to mention.
Plus it's cheap!! A must place to go for sure.
When choosing a quick stop for lunch on weekends, half of the time I opt to re-visit an old favourite and the rest of the time I like to try some place new. Before heading out, The Hubby and I talk about what we’re craving that day and a quick Google search will narrow down our selection. This was how we ended up at Chinese Dumpling House one Saturday after running errands nearby.
tried this location after eating at the newer location on Creditview. The place is rather cramped- maybe if the took out a couple of tables. I had hot and sour soup and fried pork dumplings. The soup portion was huge and the soup was good but not great. I have had better elsewhere. I prefer the fried dumplings over the steamed ones which seem a little bland. The vinegar that they serve is rather inferior and I'd prefer the red wine vinegar instead. Service was fast and efficient but not overly friendly- perhaps the language barrier?
I found this place on Urban Spoon a year or so ago and I admit the place isn't anything special to look at and it is cramped BUT THE FOOD IS AMAZING. The prices are very reasonable and the service is fast and efficient. (they don't speak English but they understand what I am ordering)
I usually have the Kung Pao Chicken or Beef fried Noodle (both extra spicy) pan fried pork and chive dumplings and sometimes the sweet and sour crispy fried pork which is really good too.
Keep in mind they only take cash and it is worth the drive to Markham from Mississauga.
Best dumplings in town. It's in a strip mall but it's loads better than fancier places and banquet halls in Markham.
Excellent. This place makes great dumpling and wonton soup. I have never seen so much effort and creative effort goes into a under $19 wonton soup. Seaweed and tiny shrimp add to the soup base. Wow!
That's more like it. Looking for a place to eat after a conference in town we popped in here late one evening. Turned out the dumpling chef was about to close down for the night, so when we indicated to the waitress that we were indeed there to try the dumplings she kicked into gear - ran to check that we still had time to order, ran back with an english translation template of the dumpling menu, did her best to overcome the language barrier to help us decide what to order, then was literally hopping up and down - anxious to get our order in before the chef packed it in for the night. Now that's service. Then she came back to help us order from the rest of the menu.
The food was good but the dumplings.....outstanding! We ordered two varieties that come in the traditional bamboo steamer. I could have sat there eating those dumplings all night they were that good. And we had a blast there as well. Looking forward to going back.
Very good value. Had someone with me that understood chinese, this was probably helpful when we chose our meals. Also we were a better of when it came to tasting different things
Tried the veggie and mushroom dumplings and my son had chicken dumplings.Very tasty didn’t feel thirsty after so no msg . The service was friendly and the food came fast.
Wait time was kinda long for the food but the dumplings were worth the wait, reminded me of eating homemade dumpling. The minced meat noodles was very surprising as the texture of the noodles was chewy and had a nice bite to it. But let me stress this point,
CASH CASH CASH
Very homey and 1000% recommend it to you guys
Been coming here for over 10 yrs. I rarely get their dumplings, their main dishes are my favourite. Crispy chicken (get 2 orders trust me), great scallion pancake and then their vegetarian dishes are incredible. After 10 yrs it tastes the same. Incredible
Okay so I've eaten here since I was a kid and it's been the same woman making the dumplings all these years. This is straight up the best dumpling place I've ever been to and I don't trust dumplings from any other place. Their pan fried pork dumplings, and pork dumplings with chinese celery - can't go wrong with these.
Other good dishes: green onion pancakes (super unique), meatball hot pot (direct translation from chinese is "lion head meatball"), sweet and sour crispy pork (different from your normal sweet and sour pork, they're like slices instead of balls of pork with a different batter), hot and sour soup, and pan fried beef shank in pancakes.
The dumplings here are the best! The lamb is my favourite. It's always made fresh and the flavours are good. The spicy hot pot is popular here so decided to try it and I also enjoyed it. The meat wrap is also really good but it's a simple dish but made well. Definitely a good restaurant although service could be friendlier.
Fresh homemade dumplings. Lots of choices. We had pan fried pork and leek dumplings, steamed chicken dumplings and onion pancake. Delicious
Update August 2020: Thought I would revisit given that the restaurant made it through C19. Oddly, the dumplings this time around were more dry than I find ideal and the soup okay. The green onion pancake was enjoyable though.

Check this place out for authentic Chinese dumplings, soups and other good stuff.
Been here a few times and the price is fair for the quality and quantity. Easy to drive to with plenty of free parking in the lot. Order from the paper menu by checking off what you want. Not a high style place but in China the restaurants that specialize in dumplings will have an open view of the dumplings being made and you get a bit of that here to add to your dining experience.
Definitely get an order of dumplings because that is really what this place is all about.
Payment is only by cash or debit card.
Enjoy!
