Decided to come here on whim when me and my family realized our regular dumpling spot was closed. Dumplings are one of my favorite foods so I'm very particular about my dumplings and I was actually very pleasantly surprised. The dumplings here are fresh, juicy and tasty. You know a dumpling is good when you bite into it and the juices from the steamed filling squirts out. We also ordered the Wonton Soup and it was different from most places make and serve it. Usually wonton soup is basic and only served in clear broth. However, their Wonton Soup had additional ingredients such as baby shrimp, flour boiled dumpling slices, and baby bok choy with pork and shrimp wontons. The place is underrated and is easy to miss because it's located in a small strip plaza. The establishment is nice and clean. Atmosphere is quiet and doesn't seem to get to busy. The price range is also very reasonable and I do plan to come back. read more

Very busy, hard to get a table at dinner. Menu is a little difficult if you don't know the cuisine already. My Chinese friends say its authentic. The service is not friendly but typical for type of cuisine, so neither plus nor minus. Not my usual preference but will come back when in the mood. The style is Northern Chinese and you may have that particular craving. It will satisfy. read more

Love this place! I really do believe that this restaurant deserves more than its current rating. Service is average but this restaurant has solid food at fair and affordable prices, with generous portions. I always come for the pork bone soup, kimchi fried rice, dumplings, and red bean paste cake. Their pork bone soup is possibly the best I've tried despite the fact that it's not entirely a Korean restaurant, they do however offer many Korean dishes in addition to the Chinese menu. But since they specialize in Northern Chinese cuisine, it's not a surprise that there's an overlap in the tastes and similarities between Northern China and Korean cuisine. The pork bones are always tender and the taste is always on point. Portions were more than enough, that I always end up taking home the rest. I pay my visits to Korean restaurants quite often but when it comes to pork bone soup, I will always end up at this place! Kimchi fried rice is delicious as well! read more

We drive out to this place when we feel like having some LEGIT dumplings. We always order the beef roll that comes wrapped in tin foil and the round flat bread. My wife, baby and I are stuffed entry time for 30something dollars. Recommended!! read more

We walked in intending for a quick late dinner but didn't even stay to eat or even takeout. The rudeness of the waiting staff was unacceptable. We walked, was laughed at for some strange reason....only when we move to ask if we could be seated, we were told they were closed at 1030pm so no. To our confusion, we came in at 10:10pm was told they closed 1030pm but the outside was listed as closing at 11pm. If we were told politely, I would take an issue but I left super annoyed as the way we were treated especially when we braved a storm to get there. I will not be coming back! read more

great food but a bit dirty if you ask me. i have been here many times and on my first time i was here i found something disgusting on the floor which i cannot say here. i have not seen the same thing again since that day and i have been back here many times. the service is okay. the food is piping hot. you get a mix of korean and chinese food here. the menu is not very helpful, no pictures. they use english but it's not very helpful in describing the item. everything is good. even the appetizers. this place may be a bit hard to find since it's set inside a smallish plaza off the main road. read more

Would give 0 Stars if possible. Regularly shop at King's Vegetarian in this little plaza and decided one day to try the Dumpling Restaurant next door. We liked the dumplings. They are good quality. We initially thought that we are going to return. Although the place did not look particularly clean in that dirty dishes were not cleared, and service not friendly, we were still going to return until we got the bill. It was simply a piece of paper with a total amount!!! No itemization, no tax, AND it was wrong. Several dollars over what it should have been. We questioned but got no satisfactory answer so we did not feel liking fighting so we just paid what they asked and decided never to go back. If you want dumplings, try New Northern Dumplings on SilverStar. If you are willing to pan fry or boil or steam dumplings yourself, you can get fabulous dumplings in the 4385 plaza. The Store is at the far end of the plaza from the Dumpling Restaurant. You will see three or four staff preparing the dumplings on large tables and it is super clean. The dumplings are really good. We will never never return to this restaurant. read more

My husband and I were in the area and looking for something interesting to eat. We came across the Dumpling Restaurant and said~Hey, we like dumplings! We aren't that picky about cleanliness! Let's give it a whirl. Stepping into the restaurant the greeting is as described by others. We are impatiently waved to our seats by a grim faced hostess. No problem, we knew to expect this and weren't as put off as we would have been by her total unwillingness to be remotely welcoming. Rude hostess=character! We seat ourselves. The table is grimy and our forearms cling to it unpleasantly as we look at the menu/order sheet slapped down by the hostess. Ok. So cleaning isn't their fortitude here...but as long as the food is great we can look past that, right? We carry on. Based on other's reviews, we choose the pork and sour cabbage dumplings, the lamb dumplings, the Korean pork bone soup, The seafood noodles and the beef with green onions. We too have to wave our hands in the air like demented performance artists to get the waitresses' attention to come and snatch back the order sheet, but that's ok! We've only been waiting about 20 minutes. Mustn't be impatient. Good things come to those who wait. First to arrive is the Korean Pork Bone soup. It arrives in one bowl, with no small bowls available to serve out a portion. Maybe if we wait a few minutes the waitress will come by with the necessary accoutrements. Nope! We make do using little tiny plates of dubious cleanliness left on the table. The soup, though ridiculous to eat in this fashion is very good. The broth is spicy and the pork bones with bits of meat are yummy! We are pleased with ourselves for getting past the obvious issues with cleanliness and surliness. This place is a gem! Then comes the seafood noodles and Beef and Green onions. The noodles taste...of nothing. It's like they are entirely devoid of flavour. These are the noodles described as "revolutionary?" Um, ok. The Beef and Green onions are coated with a thick gluey cornstarch concoction that is most unpleasant. We stare at the food, puzzled. What is this? This is not what we were expecting. When eating in filth we want WOW!!...not meh. The Dumplings come out and the portions are huge (15 per order, which we didn't realize.) We try each...and they are ok but not transcendent and one or two of each is plenty. The table is piled with food and we dejectedly converse about whether we should bother to take home the leftovers. After giving up on getting the waitress to ever return to our table, I go to the bar area and get some take out containers to pack it up and take it home. The bill is a reasonable 33.00 for a lot of food...which normally I would be very excited about! But not today. The next day I take out the dumplings and pan fry them, drizzle with a little mixture of ginger, garlic, sesame oil, chinese vinegar and soy sauce and what and improvement-they are quite good. My husband and I fight a little bit over the last few. We add some sriracha and soy to the noodles and beef dishes and my husband finds them much more palatable now that they taste like anything other than flour and cornstarch. We wanted to love this place and are willing to overlook the basics or cleanliness and friendliness for awesome food but alas! This place failed to win us over. We won't be back, but if you go, do have the Korean Pork Bone soup and bring a container for the leftovers you are sure to have. You can make 'em better the next day! read more

I use yelp all the time to find restaurants but have never posted before. My experience at dumpling restaurant was so bad that I finally signed up to share what happened. First off, entering the restaurant, the manager is at the counter on the phone, and doesn't even look up to acknowledge the guests as they enter. Our server was typical for this type of establishment, so no issue there. We ordered 5 items for our family, 2 of which were actually decent. But 1 item was so off putting that the rest didn't really matter, and here's why. We ordered the pork and pickled Cabbage dumpling and was appalled after just 1 bite. It was foul. It left a garbage taste lingering in our mouths that we couldn't get rid of (imagine the smell of stinky tofu, but in your mouth). We waved down the waitress to let her know and she said that's how pickled Cabbage tastes like and walked away... Really? The many other dumpling houses in scarborough/Markham certainly don't taste like garbage or over fermentation. I'd like to extend an offer to this waitress and the owner to try the 2 other dumpling houses just beside them and tell me that, that's how pickled Cabbage is supposed to taste like. IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO TASTE OR SMELL LIKE GARBAGE! After taking that 1 bite, we just lost our appetites and asked for the bill. When the waitress came to our table to collect our money, she didn't even bother saying anything to us about the 13.5 out of 14 pcs of dumplings left untouched at our table. There are literally 5 dumpling houses within 5 minutes of this property. Do yourself a favour and venture into one of those. read more

Great place to come if you want a nice, cheap meal! The only reason I took one star off is because the quality of the food varies depending on how busy the place is. On a quiet weekday afternoon, the pot stickers I ordered were hot and perfectly crispy at the bottom. On a busy weekend, the bottoms were pretty sad and soggy. However, despite these criticisms the potstickers are my favourite and are super juicy! Be careful of hot juices spilling out your first bite. Everything I've had here has been tasty, and everything is so inexpensive (an odd thing is that one time I ordered a bibimbap and they placed the veggies at the bottom of the stone pot and it ended up burning, I'm not sure if this was just a one time mistake, or if they just don't know how to make bibimbap in a hot stone bowl). The interior is not the nicest, and the service is not spectacular but that's to be expected from a typical Chinese restaurant. No complaints here! Will definitely be coming back. read more

I ate the chive and shrimp dumplings at the "Dumpling Restaurant". The dumplings were very good and I will go back to try their other dishes. The restaurant serves Korean/Chinese food and the owners are Korean Chinese. The service was great and the restaurant was quite clean. read more

So bad. Food: Ordered dumplings, one chicken fried noodle and one seafood fried noodle along with fried garlic ginger shrimp. Dumplings weren't bad. Shrimps were nice, but could have had more flavour. It was a bit annoying knowing the shrimps are de-veined. Noodles were SWIMMING in oil. Washrooms: Went to go wash hands after having an overly oily meal and the washroom was disgustingly dirty, no soap, dim lighting and no proper ventilation. Overall bad experience. To top it off, they do NOT accept debit/credit so you must show up with cash in advance. I unfortunately did not know this in advance and had to run across the street to wtihdraw cash. read more

Only the dumplings (both pan fried and steamed) at this hole in the wall were good. All the other dishes (fried noodles, ja ja mein, fried eggplant, sweet and sour pork, beef with onion, and string beans with minced pork) we tried were bland and super greasy. Feel gross after eating at this joint. Service is ok but place feels dirty. read more

My theory with dumpling joints is that the more north of Toronto you go, the larger the portions and the cheaper the bill. Rings very true with this restaurant, tucked away in a tiny suburban plaza. The decor is the standard, if you could call it decor. But you can't go for the decor or atmosphere; it's the dumplings, of course. They're big, juicy, and I can't even finish them in one sitting. They also offer other food like noodles and so forth. The red been pancakes are also not bad. read more

I always over order here cuz theres so much option and the foods amazing! Try the dumplings it takes awhiel cuz its hand made. The beef rolls are good too. Bean curd in sesame chili oil yumm read more

The dishes showed that everything was cooked after we ordered them...everything was very hot and delicious so the short 10-minute wait was well worth it. The pork potstickers had a very crispy, golden brown side. The pork filling was not excessively fatty and there was a lot of it! It was flavourful even without the ginger, although i did add my favourite vinegar just for my liking. We also ordered the steamed pork and bok choy dumplings. I rarely eat it but I might start ordering more of it. The wrapping was chewy and the perfect thickness. I think the filling was similar to that of the potstickers. Lastly, we had the red cooked beef noodle soup. It is one of my favourite dishes to order anywhere that has it! The flavour is very unlike the Taiwanese style, and tastes more Chinese. I still thought it was yummy though. It had chewy, thick noodles (that we suspect was homemade), large non-fatty chunks of meat, and a few bok choy. Oh, I ordered the pork bone soup before, and it was not my favourite. It tasted nothing like the Korean ones I usually have, which was kind of expected. It had a lot of meat and potatoes, but the flavour was again, more Chinese. The most important thing is that this restaurant is very affordable! All the dishes are large in portion and a few dollars less compared to in other restaurants. The ambience is very simple, but the tables are spaced out, quiet and it became cleaner over the years. My family loves coming back for lunch or an afternoon break during the weekend. read more

Ordered pork dumplings and fried noodles with beef on a Saturday night. Wait was about 15 minutes. Both menu items were good!

Oh how I've missed Dumpling Village since I moved away from Toronto. Love their celery steamed dumplings, eggplant with fish flavour, and cold noodles!! The eggplant makes me come back time and time again and the prices are great too! The Korean pork bone soup is also superb! A few things that bring the rating down to 4 stars: the service is terrible and the atmosphere gives the impression that things aren't so clean. Still love this place and visit it every time I'm back! read more

Like any typical chinese place, this restaurant has a lack of service. Waitresses can be slow and may make a few mistakes with your order but food here is decent for the cheap price; especially so if you love dumplings! I ordered some dumplings, the egg and chives pancakes and a pan fried pork & eggplant dish to share with another person. We ended up having so much food that there was leftovers and we were stuffed full when leaving. It was totally worth going home with chive breath. read more

The hot and sour soup is really good! Great dumplings with great price!

Fantastic dumplings. Lots of food for the price. We'll definitely be back!

Amazing dumplings . Thin chewy dough and juicy filling. All made to order that is fresh and hot!! You can get 14 dumplings for cheap as $4.99. I love the hot and sour soup too. not too spicy and not too sour. read more

Pretty good, the waitress kept hinting at a tip from the beginning to the end of the meal, which was pretty annoying. But the food is spot on, probably will come back. read more

Two of us walked in at 9:40 on a Sunday. They close at 11. The waitress looks up from her cell phone, unimpressed, and asks: "seriously?". Confused, we ask if they're still open. She says yes and we grab a seat. We were still trying to decide if we wanted to put that rude comment behind us and just order when she dropped and broke a bowl. Took that as a sign. We said goodnight, and left to go search for food and competent service elsewhere. read more

Well I searching for a dumpling place and this place had some awesome vegetable dumpling. Truly enjoyed it !!

Great value for their dumplings. Dumplings are tasty and juicy. I also like the onion pancake beef roll. Service is below average because no one can speak proper English (so be prepared to point at menu items or bring a friend who speaks chinese). Next time I'm going to try the pork bone soup. read more

Excellent value for the food. Unique North Korean style of food. Dumplings all made to order for dirt cheap. Great hidden gem. My go to dumping place read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now because of the glorious reviews on yelp. We got here at 9:30 pm. The parking lot was dark and empty, and there was only one table about to leave as we entered the store. I guess it didn't help that it was raining that night. Anyhow, I was surprised at how dead this place was as the sign on the door said it closes at 11pm. Just to make sure, we asked what time they closed to plan ahead when to leave accordingly and they told us 10:30 pm. I remember coming here when it was a Chinese restaurant back then and it was pretty lively especially at night. So the inside of the restaurant, the tables, floors and dishes were honestly kind of dirty. The tea came along with the order sheet to fill out but it came wet covered in the tea the server spilled. I took a look at the prices and they are honestly not all that cheap like what the other reviewers claimed, considering I've tried other places for about the same price and overall experience was much better. We ordered a steam pork and chives dumpling (14pcs) $5.99, fried onion pancake $2.99, beef noodle soup $6.99, and we wanted to try the Korean pork bone soup $7.99. The food came in decent time one after another. The beef noodle soup came in a pretty large bowl (could feed 2) but noodles had a very mild chlorine taste and soup was too merky for my liking, not to mention that there were only 5 small pieces of beef on top. Along came the Korean pork bone soup, and I must say I was pretty disappointed as I had pretty high hopes for this one. The price is the same as authentic Korean restaurants, so it wasn't cheap for something that was so flavourless, and presentation was just awful. Not to mention, we didn't get any Korean side dishes. The soup was not flavourful, the bean sprouts were literally all over the place making the dish super messy and the pork bones were not marinated through as it didn't have a strong spicy taste. Yes, they give you a lot of pieces of meat but it was just a huge mess, very hard to eat, and not authentic whatsoever. The dumplings came after and I hoped it was better but it did not taste good either. The meat had a very weird (rough) texture with a strange flavour. The onion pancake was probably the better of the dishes considering the price and the quantity. The overall food quality, taste and experience was very disappointing to me. We managed to finish everything super fast as we were the only customers there and took whatever was left with us. And the moment we left the store, the owners closed all the lights and didn't even clean our table - probably left it for clean up tomorrow. Although we weren't like rushed or anything, don't expect any sort of customer service here. I don't suggest coming here for their Korean pork bone soup AT ALL either because it does not taste authentic as the owners are mandarin. Neither should you really come here for dinner because the workers just want to leave and close their store - which I think they should change their business hours. All in all, we have no plans to come back to this place as there are far better dumpling and Korean restaurants in close proximity. read more

One of my favorite places for pork bone soups, dumplings and pan cake with chives and eggs. Don't order anything else. Utensils can be dirty. Service can be slow. Don't expect friendly staff there. You get what you pay for !!! read more

A bit of an under-rated restaurant if you ask me! I go here because this place offers cheap, filling and good dumplings around the Agincourt area :) I've tried their chicken dumplings both steamed and pan fried, and the Korean pancakes and pork pot stickers too. All of the items were a generous serving size for an affordable price. A tad bit on the oilier side for the pancakes and pork pot sticker, but still good nonetheless. Definitely recommended for folks who are looking for a budget-friendly meal! read more

Best dumplings ever! You get about 15 for $7.00. they're so delicious, fresh and handmade - The pork, chive and shrimp are my favourite. The kimchi fried rice is so good also, it's the right amount of spice without being overpowering. There are onions and pork in this rice, and it's not too dry either. I've also had the green onion pancake and it's truly one of the best ones I've had! There are times where I've ordered this dish from other restaurants but it has a weird after taste - almost of old oil - this place though makes a great pancake that was perfectly crispy on the outside and was infused with that great green onion flavour. Such a fan of the dumpling restaurant!! read more

Very inexpensive and the food is good. Home made noddles are outstanding, you can definitely taste the difference. $35 for 5 dishes and you will get two meals out of it. read more

This place gives me reasons to hate it, but the fact is that the food is cheap, and the food is good, so I will be coming back. I'm writing this review after my second time here. My sister got a teacup that was outright dirty. It was brown and there were chunks of stuff inside. No apology, we had it exchanged. We ordered about 8 items, and one of the orders never came. We asked them twice if everything came, and both times they said yes, but there was an item we specifically ordered that never came. We waited several more minutes, and they brought it out to us. Although the food here is cheap, nobody wants to pay for food they never got. This place has a lot of room for improvement, but the food is good and affordable. read more

It's run by Sino-Korean from China (Harbin?). The owner speaks very fluent Mandarin and Korean. Most of the "Korean" dishes have hint of Chinese to it. The "wonton soup" is similar to Korean (dduk-guk) but with the Chinese dumplings. I liked it. And their (cold noodle soup) is fairly good. Actually it's awesome. I never had anything like it before. It's similar to ChosunOk but different. Can't quite place the taste but I am addicted it now. We usually order the fresh noodle (kinda like jjolmyun - ). (It costs $1 more, but woth it.) As for the dumplings, they are fairly good. Washroom is in the basement: not recommended. :( for the value, it's prob best bang for the buck. Nicely served dumplings in large bamboo steam trays. They remind me of Korean run dumpling places in Harbin or near North Korean border. Seafood soup was ok. Ja-jang-myun () like dish was ok, but a bit too greasy for me. Mostly I like their vegetable dishes... Not your usual Korean Resturant in the GTA. If you're expecting Korean Restaurant, try others... but if you want some interesting Sino-Korean Fusion taste, this is the ONLY place I know in Toronto. read more
