My niece turned 20 and wanted to come here for her birthday lunch. Not what I would of picked for a free lunch, BUT I have to say glad she did. In the old pizza hut on the Boulevard and was so cute inside because it still has that pizza hut vibe, which was nostalgic for me. Upon walking in was greeted right away and told we could sit where we wanted too. Probably wasn't seated two minutes when server came over greeting us again and ready to take orders. Which was great but too soon, haha. The menu has a lot of options which needed more time to review. Once we decided on things to order, we started with sharables, which I took as appetizers, then the server told us we can put everything in, which we did. The food comes out quick. My only issue was things came out in pieces. So like I got my main dish before any shareables, then more of my dishes came out before my nieces. They just brought things out as they were done in no particular order. But the food was blazing hot. The portions are huge. We loved everything. The dumplings we tried the chicken and chives as well as the chicken and cabbage. They were plump and tasty. I ordered a green tea and was brought out a big tea pot for 3.00. For the sharables we got scallion pancakes with a dipping sauce, not that I've had tons of scallion pancakes and not an expert but these were probably the best I've had and the dipping sauce was a great pairing. Our other sharable were the fried green beans. These were fried to perfection and again paired with a great sauce. I could of eaten more plates of these!! For our mains, we got the vegetable lo mein, lan zhou spicy beef noodle and crab and pork long bao. The spicy beef noodle bowl was amazing. If you like spice this is your dish. The vegetable lo mein was also delicious. The bao was just okay. Overall, definitely would go back. They filled up fast at lunch time, so I can only imagine at dinner same. read more

Casual dine-in place off a main road. Plenty of parking. Decor inside is cute with dumpling steamers on the walls and used as light fixtures - creative idea! They have many types of dim sum, dumplings, steam buns, and some noodle and rice dishes. We ordered the pork and chive fried dumplings, pork lo mein, and general tsos. Everything had good flavor. The dumplings you could definitely tell were handmade! The general tso is NOT spicy (I wish it was, but the flavor was great so I didn't care). The lo mein was reeeeeeeally great. My husband doesn't even like lo mein but loved this one. 10/10. read more

We were nearby and starving and I saw they had vegetarian options so we stopped in later one evening. I ordered the vegetarian dumplings & vegetarian rice/soup bowl. The dumplings were ok, a little chewy and the filling didn't have much flavor. Next time I would probably skip those. But the rice/soup bowl was outstanding!! So filling! Lots of different veggies and the broth was very tasty. My partner ordered a couple kinds of soup dumplings which he liked, and some bao buns, which he didn't like. We'd definitely stop in again. Just wish the tables were cleaner and there was a bit more room between tables. Felt like we were sitting on top of all the other people there. read more

Once again my son wanted to eat here, the wait staff was very welcoming. It was quiet in there everyone was eating dumplings. We had fried rice that had shrimp and chicken in it, and it was delicious, everything is freshly made to order. We also tried pineapple fried rice, which we didn't like, we also tried pork belly bao, that was great, my only issue with this restaurant is they should have soy sauce available on the table. This restaurant made me realize I don't like dumplings steamed or sautéed but I did give it a try and it seems like everyone else in the restaurant was enjoying them, overall I would go back and try something else. The atmosphere was very enjoyable and the waitress was great read more

I was very excited to try this place after I saw a story posted by Step out Buffalo. Unfortunately, the place didn't live up to my expectations. We started with a shared plate of vegetarian dumplings which were just ok. Nothing stood out and even the chili oil I requested to accompany it was sadly not spicy. My main entree was Dan Dan noodles which was where my biggest disappointment was. I have always Dan Dan noodles where the broth is very thick so it never feels like soupy noodles. The noodles I got here essentially looked and tasted like Ramen. The broth was very watery and there was no sauce at all on the noodles which were extremely bland. I don't think I have ever had worse Dan Dan noodles. The only saving grace in terms of food was our sesame balls that we got to share as dessert. They were perfectly crispy on the outside and the red bean stuffing inside had perfect amount of sweetness. The service was very prompt and polite so five stars there. The ambiance is great too, quaintly decorated with Chinese art. I don't think I'll return on my own accord, but if someone planned a meal there, I would go but definitely stay away from Dan Dan! read more

Loved it! Authentic, fast and kind service. Particularly like their Spicy Beef Noodle soup and their scallion pancakes. Also got their Szechuan wonton and their panfried dumplings, which were good. read more

Stopped in for lunch with my girlfriend. The menu had a good selection of different items including many that were not dumpling related. The prices were reasonable and the food was excellent. The staff was friendly and attentive even with the place being quite busy. read more

Wow, this place sure lives up to its awesome reputation! We were seated right away in a Thursday afternoon. The servers and staff were very pleasant and helpful in choosing great dishes and delivering them in a timely manner with grace and pleasantries... We ordered fried house dumplings and they were the best we've ever had, flavorful and full of juicy ingredients The scallion pancake was crisp on the outside and tender and delicious on the inside... the dipping sauce made it even better We also offered bao soup dumplings that were juicy and delicious! The broth inside these dumplings was so flavorful that I couldn't get enough! The other item ordered was pad thai which was great, loads of tender chicken and saucy peanutty noodles... read more

This is my favorite Chinese in the area. I've had it a few times now and its consistently good which is big to me. They have a small dining area, but I usually do takeout. They have online ordering on their website and are on uber eats. Staff are cool, my food is usually done when it should be. Definitely give this place a try! read more

We really love eating here. Everything we've ever ordered here has been very good and have been back many times.

Let me preface this with that I am originally from Taiwan, the land of the OG "Din Tai Fung" with the best soup dumplings ever. I have also been to Shanghai for soup dumplings so I KNOW authenticity when it comes to Chinese food, especially soup dumplings. TLDR: Get the fried rice (we got the roast pork) and the fried dumplings (we got the pork and chives); don't order the soup dumplings, go down the street to Trader Joe's and get their frozen pork soup dumplings which are not only better but also cheaper! I had high hopes for this place, seeing as how the soup dumpling game is non-existent in Buffalo that I resort to frozen ones from Trader Joe's. Sadly, we will likely not be returning except to maybe pick up some pork fried rice if we happen to be passing by. The pork bao buns were average at best - the flavor was ok but it was really dry, plus the meat to bun ratio was just too much bun. The spicy wontons would have been better if the bowl didn't taste soapy. Soapiness was actually a theme of the day. Our waters tasted soapy, the soup dumplings tasted soapy, and anything that came in a bowl tasted soapy. It's as if they aren't rinsing their dishes completely nor are they drying them, so there's always that hint of dirty soap water in the food. The soup dumplings were the biggest letdown. The inside tasted like dirty soapy water and the dough was too thick and overcooked. The best part of our meal was the pork fried rice. It is perhaps my favorite in all of Buffalo and its suburbs. The pork and chive fried dumplings were decent too - dough wasn't super thick like it is at most places and they had good flavor. Service was average, decor and atmosphere were fine, and cleanliness was acceptable. Prices seemed high, which is the main reason I'm not sure if we'd be giving it a second chance even if they start rinsing and drying their dishes properly. Really disappointed cause I was really hoping I'd have another Chinese restaurant in my weekly rotation. read more

Food was great! Everything was hot! I ordered for pick up and it was busy when I went to get it. The building was an old Pizza Hut before so it's not big but very clean and professional inside. I can't wait to have a chance to get food from here again. read more

Ummm lol this place was cool every thing was good except for the pineapple fried rice which I felt was rather sweet and a bit mushy . The only other thing is that it would have been nice to receive all the entrees in one setting, glad I had a chance to visit . read more

The staff here greets you with a smile, serves you with a smile, and checks you out with a smile and a kind word. That alone makes this place special. The food here is very satisfying. Interesting sauces, From the mild Jasmine tea to the delightful, aggressive hot and sour soup, and everything in between. The scallion pancakes are served with a sweet duck sauce, the pork and crab "soup" dumplings are served with an infused vinegar for dipping, and the House specialty dumplings are served with a traditional hoisin sauce. The menu is extensive enough to keep things interesting and I will surely be back to try their other offerings. A filling dinner for two will run you around $40.they automatically bring your carry out containers and as I said, they provide service with a smile read more

Food were surprisingly good! Passable soup dumplings, nothing like NYC but it does the job. Otherwise their beef noodle soup is delicious as well as their fried snacks like sesame balls and scallion pancake. Another must have is their fried dumplings! read more

Ordered sesame chicken and received sweet and sour chicken (sprinkled with a few sesame seeds). It was very bland. Scallion pancakes were flavorless and super oily. Beef dumplings tasted like they were microwaved. Super disappointed. Will never return. read more

There were four of us and we all enjoyed it very much! Every thing was cooked perfect and served hot ( except side of broccoli was cold but I find that often in Chinese restaurants with Steamers) We started with fried house dumplings, golden browned nice size . Crab ragout were crispy, creamy and tasty! I got chicken fried rice , the chicken was moist, tender and delicious with a buttery smoothness! The wife got the sesame chicken, it too was awesome! Good size portions, Friendly quick service, we all loved it and will return! read more

Another old Pizza Hut converted over into a great place for dumplings and other delicacies. Fried green beans, scallion pancake, spring rolls and the pork belly buns all proved to be delicious hot and served fast appetizers. Then I had the Singapore vermicelli, a plentiful portion, enough for two meals, delicious and well seasoned. Service is quick and friendly. Will definitely be back. read more

Dumplings are full of flavor with nice amount of filling. We also tried crab Renton, sesame chicken, scallion pancakes, chicken fried rice and beef with vegetables.

After coming a few times since it opened, we still absolutely love this place! 100 percent best place for soup dumplings in the area we've ever had. The service is quick, the vibe is casual, and the prices are really affordable. The pork soup dumplings are our favorite. But the crab and pork are also delicious. We've also all enjoyed the pork belly buns, gyoza dumplings, Rangoons, green bean fries, and the wonton soup. We will never stop coming here! read more

We ordered togo for my grandmother's birthday and it was all just okay. We ordered a bunch of food to try a little bit of everything and nothing really WOWed us. Everything felt very Americanized which is fine but not what we were hoping for. Here's what we ordered with a short review per item Chicken Pad Thai - 2/5 Chicken Bao - 3/5 Pork Bao - 3/5 Fried Calamari - 4/5 Shumai - 4/5 Chicken OG Peanut Noodle - 2/5 (there was noodles with zero sauce at the bottom of the bowl) Orange Chicken - 3/5 - VERY orangey, almost too much Beef Brisket - 1/5 (I personally did not have any but those at the table who did had nothing good to say) I will say, I would honestly give this place another try but strictly stick to bao and dumplings. read more

Decided to have lunch at OG Dumpling House. The "Soup Dumplings" were highly recommended so I had to try them. They were good but a little hard to eat unless you put them in your mouth whole. They have soup broth packaged inside the dumpling. Good concept and flavorful but challenging. I will still order them again. The rest of the dishes we ordered were good and similar to other restaurants. Stop in and judge for yourself. read more

Stopped in for dinner with 4 other people the other day. I've been wanting to try the latest business in the location. The place is clean and well lit, bustling and inviting but more casual than anything. We tried a number of things including the pork/chive and chicken/cabbage dumplings, both good. The pork belly bao was very good. The red bean and egg custard bao was also delicious. I would have been very happy but both fried items, the scallion pancake and the sesame balls were very greasy. The dipping sauces were delicious but I never had such a greasy pancake before and the sesame balls were almost under fried and mushy greasy. I wanted to love it here but was disappointed. read more

I'm loving how many Asian restaurants are around this area. This is our first time here at OG and this is as close to authentic dim sum/ Flushing, Queens food as you can get around this area. Sure I had better authentic food, but this hit the spot! We had the crab & pork soup steamed buns, beef tendon noodle soup, Thai fried rice, shrimp dumplings, and red bean buns for dessert. Our least favorite was the Thai fried rice...the pineapple was a little too overpowering for our taste and the rice were slightly too overcooked. The shrimp dumplings' wrapping were over steamed so a bit too sticky. Everything else is right on, so happy to find this place! My kids ate great and the order came out fast. We'll be back!! read more

OG Dumpling House is a new restaurant located in Tonawanda, NY, focusing primarily on dumplings. The interior is quite small, but the food and seating moves fast. The service is excellent and the staff is constantly checking in on you. In this style restaurant, this is important as you may order only a few things at a time. We've had take out from here several times, and finally ate inside yesterday. We ordered the Xiao Long Bao, BBQ Pork Bao, Red Bean Bao, Pork Belly Buns, and Dan Dan Noodle. Everything was phenomenal! The Bao's are extremely pillow-like and offer a nice amount of filling. The Xiao Long Bao are so tasty. The filling is comforting. The Pork Belly Buns, in my opinion, is probably the best item on the menu. The sauce that the pork belly is in is just amazing. Finally, Dan Dan Noodle is just wow - I think this will be my new sick food. It's actually not that spicy, but it's enough to clear your sinuses. The broth is phenomenal. Unfortunately, I was so hungry that I only took a photo of the Dan Dan Noodle - sorry! Overall, I really think OG Dumpling House is a fantastic new add to the Buffalo food scene and well worth a try! This is already one of my regular restaurants. read more

First time ever coming here. This location keeps changing and never tried any before this. A lot of my friend recommended it so I thought I give it a try. We went on a Saturday evening for dinner and it was a full house but we didn't have to wait for long. The place is small. The menu is online, scan the QR code for the menu. We knew what we wanted to try. We ordered the Lanzhou Spicy Beef Noodle, Pork Belly Buns, and pork soup dumplings. The food came out pretty quickly, especially the noodles. The noodles are a little too soft for my liking but the soup itself was good. Maybe it was just that day but will def go back and try the noodles again. The pork belly buns was okay for me but worth the try. I know the soup dumplings but it tasted a little too sweet for me and there was not enough soup in the dumplings. Will go back and try items on the menu again with my husband. read more

Last night was the fourth time I've been here. I ordered two scallion pancakes to share with the table, along with an order of chicken with broccoli. I also had green tea because I was a bit tired. The food was amazing, as usual. I tried crab rangoons and their pot stickers too. In the past, I've had their sweet and shout chicken and their tofu meal too. The amount of rice they give you tend to vary, based on what you order. When I had the tofu dish, I had a lot more rice than my niece, who had ordered a different meal. Not much for ambiance but their lights are cool. It looks like the containers that the dumplings come out in. The service was good. They had a lot of people on. Waters were brought to the table, when I got there. I had to ask for more water, when I was ready for more. I'm assuming the waitress would've asked if we wanted more but she was incredibly busy. The food is amazing here and I'll definitely be back!!! read more

Few establishments deserve a true 5 stars. OG Dumpling House is one of those. Expect to wait a little bit as the restaurant is small, but well worth the wait. A cozy, casual, fast paced spot, the food is hot and fresh. Servers are continuously bustling dishes to tables. The dumplings are packed with flavor with great dipping sauces. The calimari is tempura fried, different than other restaurants. The pork belly buns are a game changer and my personal favorite. I expect another glowing review when I taste the other dishes. It's hard to choose! read more

Was excited to try this place. Inside is cute and clean. Staff is nice and attentive but there tables are a bit tight for the amount of traffic moving through. The pork bao buns were delicious and the Rangoons reminiscent of PF Changs. I will say I did not like my pork soup dumplings they had a weird taste and look on the inside that isn't consistent with soup dumplings I've had before which I was shocked by because I've heard such great things about them. I hope to return and try them again! read more

If you like being ignored and paying a gratuity for extremely poor/nonexistent service, this is gonna be your favorite place. We walked in about 8:30 (after dinner rush) and the place was about half full. Most people were already eating or leaving. The young lady behind the counter looked up and snapped menus towards us gesturing towards the dining room "sit anywhere " was our greeting. Then waved us towards the dining room with an exaggerated swoosh of her hand. We should have just left but we were hungry. Our server quickly came by and stood in front of us looking down at his order screen and said " you ready to order?" I said this was our first visit and we'd like to order drinks and look at the menu. Still looking down at his screen he asked what we wanted and left. He returned with drinks and the only thing he said to us was " you ready to order now". Followed by "You want anything else?" After Each and Every dish we ordered. We ordered nine dishes. Let that sink in. It was like a Carol Burnett skit. Only not funny. The food came out quite quickly and was from wow this is really good, to wow this tastes really bad (especially the Shumai) and the steamed dumplings that we had ordered fried. No check back to see if we needed anything. We did. There isn't anything on the tables. No soy sauce, no S&P, and we want all of that and some chilies or similar. It was not to be. The entire staff was dragging around, heads down, not a bit of energy or 1 smile to anyone for anything we could see. Not even with each other the entire time we were there. Nothing but negative waves Moriarity. He finally came by after we had stacked most of our empty plates at the end of the table. But didn't say a word and was leaving when I had to stop him and ask for refills. The next thing I know he drops off the refills followed by the young lady running the floor who drops off the check. No one asked if we wanted anything else. So we just paid and left. Never thanked, not a smile a nod etc. Maybe if you pickup or door dash this place it would be ok. But I can't recommend dining in. read more

They have the best crab Rangoons in buffalo stg. I also enjoyed the soup dumplings and beef fried dumplings

The place was really hopping the evening we stopped for a bite to eat. Although there were many people waiting, the service is quick so you won't be waiting long. Also, you can sign in to the wait list of the Yelp app and get in line before you arrive at the restaurant. Once you get seated and place your order, the food is very quick to arrive and very tasty. You'll see that the service crew is working hard to tip them well! read more
