The Dumpling Company

We saw they do Asian dessert and since they also offer yum cha, we met here for lunch to see how they are. We were very happy with their fried squid, we agreed that this was probably the best dish from all we had ordered, the prawn and chive dumpling had a lot of filling and the turnip cake was not too bad. We were all quite disappointed with their beef tendon because albeit it was very tender and very well cooked, the flavoring was not very good and unlike any others we have ever tried, we could not even finish this dish and it's at the bottom of our list. The prawn rice roll had a very alarming presentation, we were all joking that we thought the prawns would be inside the rolls, but the flavour was quite nice, although the skin was on the thick side, but the texture was good and we were happy enough about this. Then we tried the sticky rice in lotus wrap and it was very sour in some parts, originally I thought it was off, but then I realized that it was just way too much vinegar and lots and lots of ginger, I would rate this very low as well. Then came the dessert that we were hoping to get and when it arrived, unfortunately the tofu had gone off and was sour, we went to tell the chef about this and they said okay, we did not realize until much later that they had just decided to remove this from our bill and were not going to replace this, so we never really got to eat this dessert properly, we did eat the pearls however, because they were not off, and they were very nice and chewy, such a pity.

Nice foo and service . There is usually a long line so was pleasantly surprised to be able to walk in and order straight away. If planning to visit don't count on my experience prepare to wait a bit

Spicy Hot pot was great. The address and better foods. The owner Jane is always the best.

Excellent food. We particularly liked the boba and dessert options. Dumplings were a bit ugly to look at but tasted amazing, with a great filling to dough ratio. Chili oil and soy sauce as well. Green tea was wonderful and not too hot or cold. Nothing to complain about with the food. But it was very loud and crowded, the music was playing so loud you could hardly hold a conversation without shouting and the floor was sticky. Our order got mixed up and we were (politely) kicked out early to seat new customers. For some it would add to the experience, but be warned it will be very busy and loud. Would recommend reservations, particularly for busy times.

Soo yummy. We were desperate for a meal at 9pm after getting off a plane. Great food, friendly service even if you have to negotiate non English speakers. I would definitely come back. We were not offered alternative cutlery and got the water ourselves. A few minor service isssues.
