All dumplings , all the time. Can be a belly-filling one-trick pony, but they know what they're doing and they do it really well ! Ask for sauces to round out the flavour excursion
Do not know what the people are complaiing about-for me B9 were the best dumplings I have ever tried. Loved the shabby place and the ladies makig dumings before our very eyes.
My favorite items here are the Pork and Dill dumplings and the Green Onion pancake . The food is delicious and affordable . A definite must try. You will love it.
You get your fortune on the order sheet which also has citations for it being the best Chinese restaurant in Toronto. I was surprised by the alcohol selection: it was very western.
I9 gave a variety of sides (3). The tofu noodles had a different texture from usual & was cut with green pepper & tomato . The peanuts were too firm & there was seaweed too. All 3 were not good.
The dumplings here are so good it should be called Heaven's dumplings . The staff and cooks were so friendly - great great place.
F2 Da Lu noodles (pork ) was similar to Southern Chinese lor mee but with a thinner sauce. It had the same noodles even. The portion was huge & the soup was pretty tasty.
Authentic soup buns and pan fried dumplings ! Love being able to watch them make the dumplings if you sit in the back of the restaurant .
Can’t say enough good things about this place, it’s really all good. Pork and dill dumplings stand out.
Damn good dumplings and buns . But like, oh damn, those dumplings . I eat a lot of dumplings , and these are really good ????????
A little over-hyped, but I'll tell you what I loved: the lamb shumai . VERY yummy. Also the dumpling soup (now $2, not $1).
Great dumplings , nice atmosphere and service. It feels like everything in the menu tastes amazing.
Get any of the broiled dumplings ! The lamb dumplings are a great choice as well . Bring cash.
The spring onion pancake was delicious. All the dumplings are on form. Also recommend the steamed dessert dumplings .
Be warned the dumplings are so good you can eat yourself into pain here! You have to try the green onion pancake
You can see the chefs making the dumplings and that is very cool. As for the food it was so-so. The lamb shumai was surprising and neat, while the bbq pork buns were dry and low on flavor.
Try their Pork & Chives steamed dumplings , and make sure you order lots.
Beef and onion roll , melon shrimp and pork pan fried, pork and green onion steamed. Best thing on Spadina aside from the ruler; Kings noodle house
Juicy pork dumplings - yum! You can also order frozen ones to take home with you
I've never seen lamb shumai in other dumpling spots....try it, it was tasty
Take frugality to the next level with a large bowl of Northern-style wonton soup for $3.50. And try the tomato-egg soup and zhajiang mian (Chinese spaghetti ) for an undiluted hit of the old country .
Green onion pancake was dope! In addition, the pork and chive steamed dumplings were tasty!
Really good pork and dill dumplings !
Love the fried dumplings , but my favourite taste is the pork and dill (only boiled).
Great food and great prices! Service was perfect
Fantastic dumplings .. Incredible prices, definitely a must try I'd you are in the area and looking for yummy comfort foods
Great selection of dumplings . And all of them taste incredible!????
Melon tofu and the shrimp , are favourites of our family. And the sesame balls .
C1 pan fried dumplings with pork & bak choi was ok. Nothing to shout about, restaurant name notwithstanding. D5 potato pancake was decent: like rosti but denser.
The vegetarian dumplings were great. Full of taste and very filling!
Pork buns , chicken dumplings .. This place is dumpling heaven.
Amazing dumplings ! I especially love the pan-fried & the pancakes .
Quoting my friend who grew up consuming 20 dumplings a day since a toddler, "if u want d best authentic chinese dumplings around chinatown area, go to Dumpling house near dundas instead." my take? Mot
Ok, I admit that I am rather picky about dumplings . The skin of dumplings is what matters! And at Mother's Dumplings, the skin is just not right! My expectations were high, thus my disappointment!
Toronto's BEST kept secret. just north of the main area of chinatown. the best dumplings in town . nothing special. just simple homemade chinese food !
Pork & dill dumplings are the best. Can order boiled or pan-fried.
The juicy dumplings are great and the wonton soup is my fave.
The best place to get dumplings in the downtown core!
I had the beanpaste noodles and spring onion pancake and thought it was just mediocre. :/ Noodles were a little overcooked,pancakes were not flaky and crispy . Should've tried the dumplings instead.
So yummy and has really great prices! One person can eat enough to be full for about $10.
Wow. Dumpling heaven. Bring friends and order lots!
The pork and dill dumplings are exceptional
LOVE this place. Best handmade dumplings at an outlandish price!
Amazing food and good vibrations with the 'lucky cookie '
I hate to say it but #motherdumpling better than the #dumpling house .
This is actually the best place in Toronto to have dumplings .
Yummy spicy dumplings but according to my Asian friends, this place is over priced.
No doubt on being best dumpling place in town !
Eat in and then buy them fresh or frozen to bring home! Always a stop for me when passing through china town :)
we mostly liked green onion and eggs (and noodles inside) pancakes . dumplings are average
Definitely the steamed boiled pork and chive dumplings are awesome! For first time visitors, try the pan fried version for a twist. And of course, hot and sour soup! Delicious! - Carol Fung
Fast but good! The juicy dumplings are great for a quick meal to go. Try the pork ones. - Masato Yamashita
The beans with shrimp is amazing. Highly recommend the banana dessert. Worth the wait! - Shanta Nathwani
Pretty proprietress and awesome napoleon butter cake. Heavenly matched with cheap and resaonable prices - Alittlefatlamb
The Urban Eatery food court is amazing; a whole lower level with a variety of options. Had some great Mediterranean food ???????????? - Ilissa Gilmore
