The service was quick and helpful. Food was delightful and equally fast. You must try the "juicy buns ," it's a Northern China fare, and worth treating your tastebuds to! :D #WONGapproved
Don't miss the soup dumplings , which feature thin skin that's just elastic enough to hold in the juicy, fatty pork meatball and its rush of hot broth.
Delicious soup dumplings ! If you like spicy food , definitely try the Szechuan-style flounder (N15). You won't regret it. Rude and impatient service, but this is not unusual in a Chinatown restaurant .
Featured here is the pork dumplings with crabmeat . The nicest, yummiest xiaolongbao that I have tasted among the few ones I tried in Chinatown. Fish flounder lovers however could skip the dish here.
My favorite place for soup dumplings (mini juicy buns ). Great beef & longhorn peppers , also amazing in a bowl of noodles . Scallion pancake with beef is dope too. Whole fried fish is fantastic also.
Mini juicy buns (these are the soup dumplings ) - go for all pork AND crab !!! Also the trout is killer.
A favorite of the Chinatown scene, this Taiwanese restaurant serves what many consider to be the city 's finest xiao long bao . [Eater 38 Member] Read more
Soup dumplings are just as good as, if not better than Gourmet Dumpling House but without the wait, and you won't get kicked out for staying 5 minutes after you've finished your food
Without question the thing to order is the mini juicy dumplings (xiao long bao ) and the Sichuan Flounder in all is spicy , stewy goodness
You're going to spend a little amount of money for a lot of delicious food you can't finish. So, you take it home and eat it the next day and it's still tasty.
(Best of Boston 2013-DIM SUM) Improper Bostonian says, "Two words: soup dumplings . The uninitiated should direct their immediate attention to the miniature buns , otherwise known as xiao long bao ."
"Best soup dumplings outside of Hong Kong. Great spot with a lot of interesting flavors." - Chef Jamie Bissonnette Read more
Nice juicy dumplings , good roast beef scallion pancake the double cooked pork was not hot at all!
The soup dumplings are soo good! The noodle soups were delicious. Can't wait to go back!
Some of their food is the best (soup dumplings , crab rangoons , lo mein , BEEF WITH SPICY PEPPERS) and some of it kinda sucks (seafood lo mein )
Know what you want, be loud and assertive when you order, keep in mind the staff will try to up sell you more items. Eat your weight in the pork soup dumplings . You won't regret it.
Soup dumplings (juicy buns ), steamed dumplings and crab Rangoon are great!
Excellent "Chinatown" Chinese food . Not authentic nor refined (but also not Panda Express) - just good ol' classic comfort dishes at affordable prices . Wash it down with Tsingtao.
Dumplings , chicken with scallion , soup . All good. Traditional Chinatown communal eating available.
Get soup dumplings here, it's a must! They're known as Xian Long Bao and are amazing. Repeat.
Poem soup dumplings , scallion pancake and boba tea make a great late night dinner with friends.
The mini pork buns appetizer is actually soup dumplings , not bao-style buns . Everyone loved them anyway tho. Good food. Friend loved the pork/spinach/tofu dish.
Soup dumplings are excellent. Order a bunch!
The soup dumplings are the best in Boston. The beef with scallion is also pretty good.
Dumpling Cafe > Gourmet Dumpling Cafe. We tried both and the Dumpling Cafe food is far nicer.
The soup dumplings are good, but can be very doughy. The fish in the Sichuan style flounder is delicious but frankly the broth had no real flavor.
Love the pork and crabmeat dumplings !
Good soupy dumplings , salt and pepper calamari , beef with longhorn peppers 3.5/5
Fast service , cheap and pretty tasty.
Fast and tasty. Great $$. Good food!
For Chinese food that’s a notch above, and a draw for the adventurous. Read the full review at: http://now.tufts.edu/articles/dish-dumpling-cafe
I mostly go for the Taiwanese dishes.

Try the Mini Juicy Dumplings with Pork and Crabmeat - Proper name, very Dee-lush!
Great amazing food. Bad service. Ask for an extra drink to save yourself from waiting 20+ minutes on a drink refill.
Delicious food, esp the pork & chive dumplings . But the service was dismal. Still worth going
Get the pork soup dumplings but also get a rice dish so it can catch the liquid goodness.
if u want authentic chinese food come here.. the watercress with garlic and sauteed fish are delicious!
Juicy dumplings and amazing fried rice
Great food, large portions and reasonable prices.
Go in groups and split the entrees. They're quite large!
Lo mein was amazing, ironically the dumplings were just okay. Open till 2 AM!
Seafood loneliness and the pepper and salt kalamari
Try the Shanghai Baby Bok Choy with Garlic - Simple & delicious!
Take a trip to Taiwan without leaving Boston. Its the second venture of Chef-Owner Pete Wang of Taiwan Cafe and Chef Charlie Chow. Read more
Better google instructions for eating soup dumplings - they are delicious, but can be messy - and dangerous- if handled incorrectly. Scalding soup inside! Read more
Open until 2am! Come here for after party meal. Food is pretty good, service pretty rude, but hey. Its chinatown
Pretty good dim sum !
If the Gourmet Dumpling House is full then this is a great alternative.
Wonton soup and sesame chicken are, mmm, sublime
Buddha's delight is superb for vegetarians! Don't forget their house made hot sauce! - Niki G
Tried pork intestine (tender/chewy) and jellyfish (chilled, strong snap on biting through) for the first time. Normal menu items are all great, extremely fast service - Peter Salem
Excellent food and extremely nice and polite staff. A must visit in Chinatown - Tim Kl
Love this place on a weekday afternoon! Big, comfy, and air conditioned! - Enrico Manalo
Really nice park to visit although quite small in size. It's haunted as well so you might see some friendly spirits! - Hayley Cooper
Love their bubble tea after dim sum. The line can be a little long but the service is quick. - Steph Katrina
