Absolutely hands down the best dumpling experience Ive had! Tried a few things: potato curry dumpling, shrimp dumpling, sweet & sour dumpling and their classic soup dumpling. Their soup dumpling was so good I wanted to order 3 more bowls! Everything served BOILING HOT and fresh! The table even fought over the meaty delicious green beans! Excellent service, I think in part to their QR ordering system - you're not having to wait for a server to be free to place your order. Everything clean and tidy - can't wait to go again! read more

Dumpling World - Ordering! Cant wait!!! - Chinese Near Me - Everett, Washington

The best soup dumplings and beef noodle soup I've had since I lived in Beijing about 8 years ago. Everything we ordered was exceptional. New favorite spot without a doubt. Great service, great food, will absolutely be back again. Only ask is to have a couple more kid friendly options so I can come here when it's not just a date night. read more

Went to lunch today, quite busy, probably due to school breaks. We just ordered the braised beef noodle which is my husband's favorite. The beef is very tender and the soup base is very flavorful. I always ordered the stir fried green beans and the shrimp & pork spicy dumplings. Love the spice and the garlic flavor. Service is always decent. read more

Fairly new dumpling house in Everett. It's a good thing we arrived when they opened, on Saturday, because it was completely full a half hour later. All the dumplings are made fresh. The menu has a nice variety of dumplings, rice and noodle dishes. Very fresh flavors. The staff was very friendly, but seemed a bit overwhelmed by the crowds They still need to get their organization worked out a bit, but we will definitely be back. read more

I ordered the shrimp and pork fried dumplings. They were delish. I got there just as they opened. The dumplings took a while to come, but they were well worth it. The staff was very caring and made sure i was taken care of. I loved the decor and the friendly feeling of the restaurant. I seen a huge noodle plate come out, that will be the next dish I try. I Feinstein will be back. Great food and great staff. Thank- you. read more

Good variety on the menu. The vegetarian options for dumplings were not that tasty. Loved the garlic beans though! We also ordered fried rice and pretty much a bunch of dumplings ranging from beef to pork. We ordered the spicy wontons too. Overall service was great and fast, you pick from a tablet. We had a group of 6 and they did great helping us celebrate birthday. Would come back again read more

Glad there's a spot near me that fulfills the dumpling craving without driving too far! Their XLB was bigger than I thought. See my attached picture - it is bigger than the soup spoon. I'm used to smaller ones, like from DTF. Flavor was good and fresh. Their chicken fried rice and veggie chow mein were good too. I especially loved their green beans with pork! For this alone, I'd go back :) Portions to pricing seemed fair. Staff were attentive and nice. FYI hot tea was not complementary (like I'm used to in China town), but it was priced fairly at $3.50 for a 16 oz cup. Their iced water was readily in pitchers on your table with fresh lemon infused, which was nice and refreshing! Their restaurant is easy to find, in a corner of a busy intersection. Lots of parking. Clean and bright inside. Beware of 6 person auto gratuity (not unusual, but just FYI - my party was just surprised cuz it was 4 adults and 2 toddlers) Welcome to our community, Dumpling World! read more

We stopped by Dumpling World on a Sunday evening around 5, and found it already full of customers. As one of the few Chinese restaurants in Everett, I really want to see this place thrive, and there's potential here. The food itself was fine. The xiao long bao were larger than the traditional style (not necessarily bad, just good to know when ordering), and the flavors were satisfying overall. No gingers were provided, so by the time I had my 3rd one, it was getting a tad too rich. Service felt disorganized. Our dishes arrived in scattered order: soups first, then dumplings, and vegetables came out last. We tried to cancel our pan-fried dumplings since they were taking so long, but they still brought them out at the very end (which they did comp it and that was nice). We had to ask for water after finishing our first dish, since we were never offered water to begin with. It seemed that they also ran out of a big amount of dumplings by 5:40, and I saw a lot of people removing themselves from the waitlist in disappointment. This place isn't something I'd return to, but I hope they can serve the community well after making changes on the service and speed. read more

2 of us arrived 2:30 on a Sunday, Fathers Day. Place was packed. Used Kiosk sign up to be on wait list. Waited maybe 5 minutes, probably less. waiter guided us to table, offered choice: Hard copy menu or QR code menu. We used QR. Most dishes are about $15 and you definitely get your money's worth. We ordered Green Beans, Pork & Scallion boiled dumplings, Pork & Shrimp Bao, and Shrimp Fried rice. After we placed the order, options were "check out" or "add to order." We added an additional dish, Chicken Chow Mien, just to see how they would deal with an add-on and also to give it a try. We assumed that we could wait to check out until later and that is really what you are supposed to do, so don't check out until the end of the meal. The drinks came immediately, closely followed by the green beans and then every few minutes another dish. The dishes came hot and quickly. The chow mien was my favorite, followed by the pork & scallion dumplings. but really, everything was very good. Our waiter checked in as he flew about the place, but we were good. We ordered 5 dishes and 2 drinks and the bill was $88. We really should have just ordered 2 dishes: the portions are very large. We ended up taking home over 1/2 of every dish including the dumplings, which we will eat over the next couple days. Using our phone to hit "Check Out" brought a waiter with the electronic bill, as well as take-home containers. Paying was quick and easy. It is a fast moving place, but we didn't feel rushed at all. A friendly place. Overall we were very satisfied with taste, portion size, and quick service. Highly recommended. read more

First timers!! Saw such good reviews on social media-had to try it!!! So glad we did!! This place is delicious!! We tried Shimp & Pork Xiao Long Buns, Beef & Onion Dumplings, Pork & Scallion Pot Stickers, and cheese crab puffs. The pot stickers were my favorite, such good texture! Oh I will dream of these!! 10/10 we would come back here again!! We ate too fast to take pictures...next time! read more

When this place first opened up I had my doubts but once I tried it, my thoughts quickly changed. I believe that this is one of the best places in the whole Seattle area for Chinese food. The beef noodle soup is so tender and easy to chew with the noodles being super bouncy the broth not being too overpowering. Even when it was spicy, I could still taste the flavor of the beef. The xiao long bao is delicious with a lot of new options that I haven't seen at other restaurants. The outside skin is so crispy but not dry and the inside is full of that delicious broth and filling. Same goes for the dumplings and wontons. I would especially recommend spicy wontons and the fried rice is delicious too. This place is easily better in food quality to din tai fung and dough zone which are always packed. Furthermore, the food prices don't break the bank with you being able to eat full for a little over $20 compared to dtf will be double the price. read more

I heard about Dumpling World, a small chain with four locations in Texas, from a friend in Houston. I certainly never expected them to open their first non-Texas location in Everett! As soon as I heard about it, I made an appointment to visit the next day for a weekday lunch. When we arrived a bit after noon, we found the place to be very busy but during our time there there was never a wait for seating. While the restaurant is still in the soft opening phase, it seems like they've figured out most of the kinks. Ordering is easily done at each table via QR code. They also have physical menus and are happy to take orders in person. At each table, they provide lemon spa water to drink. The first dish took about 10 minutes to arrive and the last, the shengjian bao (SJB), took around 25 minutes as they batch fry these and then bring out to multiple tables at once. I do have to comment that they have a pretty interesting music selection - synth/techno-ish. At least they play it at a low volume! Pan-Fried Thumb Bun - Shrimp & Pork & Chive, 10pc ($13.95) - This is essentially a modified XLB, fortified to meet the demands of pan frying. The bottoms are lightly golden brown and give a pretty decent crisp. The dough is a bit thicker than the actual XLBs to hold up to being fried. They are still nicely chewy and remain intact with no holes. Dumpling World is pretty generous with the filling, mixing plenty of fragrant chive into the pork meatball and also stuffing in an entire small shrimp in each ball. This is basically an XLB with slightly thicker skin and without any aspic to leak out (although still juicy). Flavorful and delicious. (5/5) Pan-Fried Pork Soup Bun, 4pc ($11.95) - We finally have another proper 混水生煎-style SJB spot around Seattle. Tons of soup, almost two soup spoons worth, reside in each pan fried bun. The soup has a lighter kind of taste, like it's missing some fatty savoriness. I think they rely on mushroom powder to boost the glutamate properties (at least, I taste a bit of mushroominess in the apisc), which results in a broth that isn't quite as tasty as others I've eaten. Still, the ones Dumpling World serves have thin skins, are fried to a good crisp level, being golden brown, and are appropriately sprinkled with scallion and sesame. They seem to be spaced out in the fry pan, rather than the traditional method of being packed together. While not as good as the top tier SJB places near Vancouver, these are perfectly acceptable, especially given that there's only one other spot I've found in the greater Seattle area that serves this type of SJB. (4/5) Spicy Braised Beef Noodle Soup, Mild Spicy ($17.95) - Plenty of tender and fatty chunks of beef float in a mildly spicy noodle soup. The beef is braised to perfection, becoming almost fall apart. The noodles are of the curly variety and are cooked until bouncy. The broth tastes like a bit of tomato mixed with beef and chili oil. At mild, the dish isn't very spicy at all, but it does get in the back of the throat a bit. It's flavorful enough, especially for a place that's more known for dumplings. Two half heads of blanched bok choy complete the dish. (4/5) Pork Xiao Long Bao, 6pc ($13.95) - Although we were stuffed from the above three dishes, we couldn't help but to order this extra dish. At first we were confused - $14 for 6 XLBs? That's awfully expensive... and then the dish came out. These XLBs are huge, easily 3x the volume of a typical soup dumpling, with the amount of soup to match (note: not as big as a tang bao). A ton of savory and salty, aromatic soup in a very thin wrapper. The soup tastes different from from the SJB by virtue of being more savory and salty. Because these are so large and unwieldy, it's actually difficult to eat, necessitating sucking the soup out of the wrapper rather then pouring it into the soup spoon and sipping as I usually prefer. The pleated area on top is on the thicker side, rendering it chewy, but I don't see a way they could thin it out other than by shrinking the bao. They do twist it into a hollow circle to get it as thin as possible. As with the SJB, the pork filling is on the denser side, which is the only real negative to this dish. (5/5) Dumpling World is definitely a great addition to the dumpling scene in the area. I'll be back for more! Bathrooms - Two rooms read more

Really happy this is not too far from Lake Stevens! Great selection of food, dumplings are epic, shrimp fried rice is explosive! Service is fast, QR code order and food is on the table in minutes. Plenty of seating and parking for everyone. Sometimes you will wait and it is worth the wait. Sometimes you will be seated right away. No complaints this will be our go to place for dumplings. Beat Din Tai Fung, hands down. read more

A solid 3.5 stars I'm sure it's new opening chaos and being busier than expected. You list by entering you name and number on a tablet, we assumed we'd get a text. But apparently you need to stay by the door as they called out names. So we got passed over. They did seat us after we pointed it out and were very nice about it. The food took quite a while to come out and to get a server for reorders was a bit hard, there's not a lot of table awareness. Again they just opened so I'm hoping this is just growing pains. We did the soup dumplings, beef noodle soup and a few other dumpling dishes and fried rice. The food was good not spectacular but I'd definitely go again. Nice having a dumpling spot in Everett. read more

Dumpling World - Menu cover - Chinese Near Me - Everett, Washington

Stopped by after an event on a Saturday evening. Small restaurant for the amount of traffic. About a 20 minute wait to get a seat... must register at a kiosk tucked in the corner, possibly behind some customers waiting. Order via cell phone using a QR code. Pretty fast service and everything arrived fresh/ hot. Also the order was pretty well spaced out so not of over crowd the table. Though we didn't order noodles, rice or vegetable dishes, other tables did and the quantity was large. If swing back again, probably not on a weekend evening. read more

My first time setting foot inside a Dumpling World and it went well. I'm still trying to find a noodle joint up north that is as good as Chef King in Seattle was, or to a lesser extent how good Chiang's still is. The Chicken Chow Mein is good. I wish it had been a little hotter. But really good service, VERY clean space. I will be back, big menu left me wanting more! read more

We went to Dumpling World and it was delicious! I highly recommend the chow mein and the soup dumplings!!!! Those things are handmade to order! So they do take a while to come out! Also the green beans are a definite delish part of the meal! The place is pretty small and it took us a while to get seated but the food was worth it! One thing we didn't like was our server at the end was over our shoulders as we were paying and he was too close for comfort. However we would return again for the food! read more

That was delicious and fresh! We are so happy to have an authentic dumpling house in our neighborhood. Everything we ordered was outstanding in taste. The Xiao Long Bao took the longest to come out. I'm glad we saved room because that was excellent. The size was about 2 inches in diameter. Larger than other places with lots of soup! The dough was thin and it melts in your mouth. The servers were very friendly and accommodating. You order using a QR code. The restaurant is clean and modern. We love this new place and can't wait to try their other dumplings! Yum!!! read more

I live right around the corner and seeing social media buzz of this dumpling house got me excited! For its soft opening, Dumpling World impressed with their hand crafted wontons and dumplings. You can tell the dumplings and wontons are made fresh, not frozen as their quality exceeded local and popular chains in the area. For lunch service, our party of 4 ordered the Braised Pork Rib Noodle Soup, Dan Dan Noodles, Shrimp Wontons in Chili, The wonton soup, and the pork and chive steamed dumplings. The quality, portions, and taste alone grants Dumpling World a 5/5 star review. I am very impressed with how delicious and juicy each bite of dumpling or wonton were. Both soups were equally impressive and massively generous in portion size. These 5 dishes were more than enough for 4 adults with leftovers packed. Note: if you are expecting Din Tai Fung service and ambiance, you may be a little let down. Counting over 10 tables seating 4+, this is larger than your typical hole in the wall, but comes with a similar "vibe." Pricing is similar to that of Din Tai Fung, so expect to pay up for high quality dishes. read more

So I finally made it. Every time I've tried to get in it it's been packed with patrons, including some standing outside in a line or a type of queue. It's still in its soft opening phase, which is a good sign for business and for Everett. As I entered, I walked in shortly after 5 pm, and was greeted by a waiter, already carrying a plate of potstickers. As he approached, we both jinxed each other by "table for one" and he gestured first to the open floor but as I eyed behind him, I was able to get the last booth. I'm a single party, most of the time, so it felt nice having it to myself. I didn't notice any menus, but each table seemed to have a QR code printed on it so I promptly pulled out my phone and did a quick download. Now to fast forward just a bit, as more customers came in I noticed they had menus. So you can either ask for one or maybe I didn't see them before. Either way you're not stuck with just the phone QR option. I'm not usually a fan of those because I'd rather the book. And sometimes you have to pay through that as well which is a real turnoff considering I'm right there but Dumpling World seems to cater to both new and old style customers. As I was settling in, I noticed I had accoutrements that were already in place. And a pitcher of water that was patiently waiting to be poured by its first visitor. During my perusal of the menu people were coming in minute after minute. Again this place is still getting packed so be ready. I had already done my research on what I was interested in but I noticed certain items were not on the menu. My first initial thought was that since I came in during dinner time the menu might have been scaled down or had a different offering but after discussing with one of the waitresses towards the end of my meal, Mary or Maria, I was informed that since they are still in their soft opening phase, they are still deciding what to have ready and on the menu. Makes sense but I was really looking forward to trying some unique flavors. Real quick, the passion fruit cucumbers and wood ear mushroom salad were not available yet but eventually they will be. Now for my order. I put everything in at once. I started with the beef fried Chow Mein. I then selected the Shrimp Paste Spicy and Sour dumplings. Third item was the Pan Fried Pork Soup buns. I finished my order with a tropical refreshing tea; mango and a coke. The first dish that arrived in which seemed like magic was the Beef Chow Mein. It was screaming hot, fresh from the kitchen. It was enough to feed four people so I definitely had leftovers and besides I knew I had more food coming so it was a good starter. The noodles were soft yet had great bite an chew. They absorbed the flavors well. The vegetables were nice and still had a little snap and crunch. The beef bites were small and could've been a bit more but helped carry the entirety of the dish with succulence and savory bites throughout. I was pleased but next time I'll try the fried rice option. Still a good dish. Next came the spicy and sour dumplings. A huge bowl of dumplings with a clear yet speckled broth smelling of souryness. It was pungent but in a good way. I usually go for the broth first but I really wanted to try a dumpling so I dove my chopsticks in and grabbed slash stabbed one and dug in. These are definitely handmade. And the shrimp flavor was amazing. Not overwhelming or powerful but subtle and delicious. I could somewhat taste the broth but it kinda just rolled off the skin of the dumpling so I used my spoon next. It was a very mild sour but the spice wasn't there. At least not at first. It took a while for any type of kick to develop but when it did it was mild. I would prefer more of a kick but I think it's perfect for less spicy enthusiasts who might be timid and yet curious to try the dish. I used some of the vinegar and chili oil on the side on a dumpling that I used the small dish for and it was a nice addition of flavor. I went back and forth with the chow mein and sour dumplings before my third and final dish came. The Pan Fried Pork Soup dumplings finally arrived. They were huge. And when I went in to grab one it was so hot it startled me lol. I usually have tempered hands but I wasn't ready. So be careful. And like the title says they had a very crispy bottom but the top still retained its pillowy shape and softness. They were almost too handsome to eat but I didn't come to look so I had at it. I did my little nibble and a started sucking the broth. Delectable. You could give me a bowl of it by itself. Fatty. Savory. Porky. Great flavor. And the meat had a great flavor and texture on its own. The wrapping was incredible. read more

So excited to have a dumpling spot up north! Dumpling world just opened up 5 days ago so I had to go check it out! The food was absolutely amazing. Their soup dumplings are massive and filled with so much hot flavorful soup. I already want to go back to have the sesame noodles, as that was my personal favorite from our meal! The wontons were amazing as well. The staff were so attentive and quick, especially for just opening! Overall a great place to go to when you are craving dumplings but don't want to drive to Seattle for DTF. I will definitely be back several times! read more

I can on a Friday night and the place was packed. There's an iPad in the corner to check in and my turn came up pretty quickly even though there were lots of parties waiting. The restaurant itself is definitely more of a hole in the wall type of place, nothing showy. The food was so good and authentic! The green beans were so garlicky and well seasoned, and I loved the dry eggplant noodle dish as well! All the dumplings were awesome and I got ones with shrimp mostly and there are whole shrimp in each dumpling and it was SO good! The best item I had was the pan fried pork soup dumpling - I've never had anything like it! Also the service was so nice, our order of soup dumplings came out looking a little deflated the first time and I didn't mind or say anything but our server saw and insisted that it was overcooked and said he would get us another portion of them! So we ended up with double the amount of soup dumplings that we ordered and it was all delicious! read more

Theres not enough dumpling places around here. This place was pretty popular. We had to wait a few minutes for a table. It was worth the wait! The only problem we ran into was the table was not big enough for everything we ordered. We had four of us and we ordered 8 different things so we could try more entrees. Everything was so good! The xiao long baked was the biggest I've seen! The order system was different. Everything is ordered on your phone by scanning a qr code. Anyone can add to the group order from their own phone. We will definitely be back here again sometime. read more

Overall a solid dining experience. The pan-fried pork buns were well executed with a crisp bottom and good balance of flavor. The fried rice was also well made, not greasy and properly seasoned.

Everything ran smoothly, and I would consider returning in the future. read more

We visited Dumpling World over the weekend for lunch. There is usually a wait time. We had to wait around 10 minutes, which was not bad. The place was full and you will need to place your order from your phone. The online menu was helpful however the portion size looks smaller in the pictures (which was good, but plan accordingly). We ordered 4 different dumplings: Steamed, with soup, pan fried and the colorful dumplings. All the dumplings were fantastic. We loved the soup dumplings the most. The soup in the dumplings was not too hot (unlike other restaurants), making it easier to consume and taste. We also orded the mixed Chow Mein noodles (pork, shrimp, chicken) with eggs and the Ube Boba Milk tea. The noodles was one of the best we have had in recent times. The highlight of the noodles was that the sauces and flavor were well absorbed by the noodles, making it flavorful. The boba tea was great with not much sugar, which is great. The ambiance is not too loud and very good for families. Overall a great dumpling place in Everett area. We will definitely visit again. read more

I sat down and ordered right away. The restaurant was empty at first. I waited 25 minutes for a bowl of noodles and fried rice, while people who sat down after me already received their food. I asked Vivian why my order was taking so long, and her response was just, "Oh... oh." I then asked another staff member, and he said the noodles took a long time to cook . When I asked for a water refill, Vivian didn't look happy. There was no apology at all. I'm pretty sure my food was given to a different table, because when I asked about it again, my food came out in less than 5 minutes. Not a great experience overall. The dumplings were alright. read more

This was my first visit, the tab for two people (no booze) was $100 with a tip so it wasn't an inexpensive visit. We tried the spicy beef noodle soup, the garlic green beans, the spicy peanut noodles? dish, the big pork soup dumplings and the appetizer that has cream cheese and crab. I expected I would be taking some things home. The spicy beef soup was very pretty, but it very much lacked flavor in my opinion and the same is true for the beef in the soup. I ended up not even bothering to use the remaining amount as a leftover. It just wasn't good enough for that. I kept wondering if I took it home and reheated it what I could add to it to give it some flavor. My husband liked the peanut noodle dish, it was pretty good. My opinion was it was lacking in flavor. The pork soup dumplings were very, very good, I would order those again . The garlic green beans were also good. The crab and cheese wonton appetizer was very, very good. In the beginning, we were asked if we would like tea and I wrongly assumed that the tea would be complementary as it is in many Chinese restaurants. We both said yes, we would like tea and what we got was a very large to go cup of water with one teabag in it . It was extremely weak because I think the cup size was between 12 and 16 ounces and one teabag just doesn't cut it and the worst part is each paper cup was $3.50! Live and learn... I did see a lot of fried rice being ordered and that looked very good. I would be willing to try that and I thought the noodles were very good. I loved the texture of it. They were chewy and thick and they tasted homemade. I would definitely consider trying a chow mein/noodle dish next time. We ate there the day after Christmas and arrived at 11 AM and there was no crowd at all. By the time we left, there was a big crowd. It might be a matter of just dialing in the dishes that you do like, I know which ones now I would not order again. The noodles tasted delicious though they seemed homemade and were nice and chewy and thick . And not that this is a huge deal but usually at a Chinese restaurant you get a fortune cookie with your bill and they don't do that there so I was a little sad about that lol. read more

Pretty nice to have a decent dumpling place in Everett to go to when I'm not wanting to drive far. Most of the items were delicious! Noodles were flavorful but overcooked (though they were kind enough to take it off bill), dumplings well balanced and juicy, food not too salty or oily like most Asian places. The soup dumplings were too big and dense, I like mine to be one biters, or at least stay on my soup spoon, but these were hard to eat. Perhaps it's because they are new, but there was a staff that hardly spoke English and does not know how to handle their seemingly easy ordering system, she took forever to get our order while I watched another staff handle 3 tables, it was frustrating, especially when she got our order wrong after spending so long going back and fourth asking another staff, I almost wanted to take the iPad away from her and do it myself. Would definitely suggest they organize their employees better, allocate her to other tasks until she can get better with English and technology. The tables were wet and didn't seem thoroughly cleaned, but place seemed clean as a whole. Will come back once hype dies down and the restaurant settles in read more

NOT-recommended for party of 5 or more!!!! The food was good. The service is fast and friendly. The ambience is okay and nothing to brag about. The only thing that needs improvement is how small the tables are. If you have 5 plus people with the struggle to place all the orders on the table is real. That is why I gave it a 4 stars. read more

Our first (and probably only) trip to Dumpling World was a mixed experience. There was a lot of people in line ahead of us which is a good sign. We waited about 25-30 mins to be seated on a Sunday night at around 6:00. First things first, the food was very tasty and had excellent flavors. They serve the dishes in the same manor as DTF - that is, one at a time, as they are made. This would be fine if they were all made at relatively the same time. However, ours were not. We started our order at 6:45 and ordered everything at once. We ordered 4 dishes. We got our first dish at about 6:55. Our last dish came to us at about 7:35. So about 50 mins for 4 dishes to be served. That's approximately 12 mins in between each dish, but realistically there was at least one wait in between dishes that was 20 mins or more. Not sure what was going on with the kitchen....apparently they were busy. But this is just too long for me to wait in between being served. First dish was the chow mein which was hot in some spots of the dish and cold in others. Very strange. Almost like some elements of the dish were already cooked and then added back to the wok but not properly heated through. The flavor was really good, but the varying temperatures and amount of oil in the dish were big turnoffs. The soup dumplings (pan fried and XLB) were very hard to eat and handle with the chopsticks. Dumpling wrapper is a little too thick and the pan fried ones were just hard to eat. Both had excellent soup broth but the difficulty in consuming them was a big turnoff. Bottom line: Great flavor, poor execution. read more

I think this is one of the best dumplings places in the Seattle area. The XLB took me a bit by surprise: initially I thought the price was steep for 6, but the sizse is huge. They're very juicy and thin skinned. But my favorite is the oan fried pork buns (4). They're extremely juicy and flavorful. The dough is just right, not too thick and not too thin.

While the meat pieces are nice and plenty, I thought the broth was lacking a bit of depth and richness. read more
