    Sesame Chicken Combo Dinner special
    Emily Q.

    Overall a pretty solid American Chinese food location. I've ordered from New number one a few times and each has been consistent and satisfying. Although I'm not super thrilled with the use of styrofoam containers the amount you get in each is larger than most other places. I ordered a sesame chicken dinner special and was able to get 3 meals out of just the one order. The order also comes with a choice of an appetizer which is just a nice bonus. You can order over the phone however if you order using the online service you can get a 10% discount which is really nice as the food is already very reasonably priced at $8 per dinner special. The location is not currently allowing anyone inside so if you pick up you must call and they will deliver for curbside pickup. The owners and staff are very nice and have always been very accommodating even prior to covid.

    4a. Chicken on a Stick (my favorite thing)

    The most bland and flavorless Chinese food I've ever had, and I've eaten Chinese food in Finland.

    My friends and I were very sick the day after eating here. I definitely would not recommend it.

    OG Dumpling House is a fun place to share a variety of dumplings and other Asian appetizers and…read moredishes. While visiting on a cool night, the Dan Dan Noodles sounded really appealing to me, and they did not disappoint! The bowl was a large portion with a good amount of noodles and tender, juicy ground pork. The broth was hot and spicy, but also flavorful...the heat was not too overpowering for me. I was very happy with my meal, but also happy to taste some other items we got to share. Edamame always seems like a good way to start a meal...these were overly salted for my liking. The scallion pancake was okay...a little small with just four thin pieces. More successful were the namesake dumplings. I really liked their versions of Xaio Long Bao - both the original pork and shrimp varieties contained delicious broth and fillings. We also shared the pork and chive dumplings, beef dumplings, and pork and corn dumplings...and we would order all of them again! The orange chicken was also an enjoyable dish to share, and good way to add some variety to the plethora of dumplings. I'm sure they get a lot of young customers from RIT and UofR, and the music catered more to this audience - it was a bit loud for my preference. But, service was very good and it is a fun casual environment to enjoy some good, reasonably priced chow with friends!

    My boyfriend mentioned in recent conversation that he'd never had soup dumplings before... so we…read moreopted to stop here one day when we were out and about running errands. Now, when I was going to RIT (back in the day), I remember this being a Might Taco... but I'm quite delighted to see it as an OG Dumpling House location too! (Though it's probably a good thing that it wasn't a dumpling house when I was in college, because those freshman 15 would have been aaaaaaaaaall because of the soup dumplings.) You can order takeout or sit in the restaurant. Our getting offered a table when we first got there was a bit discombobulated, but we were asked after a few minutes if we wanted to sit or takeout and we confirmed we wanted to eat in the restaurant. After another minute or two, we were given our table. Because of the time waiting for our table, we had already decided on what we wanted to eat and drink... so we were able to order pretty quickly. We ordered the xiao long bao, of course, as well as steamed pork bao, and then fried green beans, fried calamari, and shumai to share. The items came out quickly enough... but as we were making our way through the plates, I was a bit surprised that our server wasn't also taking away plates that we'd finished. In most dim sum-type restaurants I've visited, it's common for the server to take finished plates away throughout the service to ensure you have room on the table for anything else that might be coming out. Since the tables in this location are perhaps a bit on the smaller side, we soon found ourselves running out of enough space to really spread out the plates to share. The soup dumplings are good... though they perhaps didn't have broth that was quite as flavorful as I'd been hoping for. I'm glad we visited, as OG Dumpling House has been on my list to try for quite a while. Now that the craving is appeased though, I'll be happy to try another one of Rochester's Chinese or dim sum-style restaurant locations.
