Uncle Dumpling

I was really excited to try out this new dumpling place but got kinda disappointed. The scallions pancake came out from frozen and tasted thin with super oily skin. The wonton noodles soup came in big portions, soup was the only thing that’s delicious, fried pork bun was a little but on the raw side, wouldn’t recommend this place for dumplings 🥟

I think this may be our new favorite dumpling restaurant. The pork soup dumplings and stir fried garlic pork green beans are a must try. The chilli wonton was also great. Service is quick and friendly.

****Update****

On my second visit, this past Tuesday night, the restaurant was very understaffed. Michele seemed rushed (but in her defense, she was the only server, which is unfair to her and the customers during peak time). We ended up getting our own containers and bag from the cashier. I tried the peach cloud this time, and it was not blended correctly (I am comparing to the mango cloud from a previous visit) as the drink was not smooth but rather chunky-ish. The Beef Noodle Soup has a high level of white pepper that is off-putting and a distraction from the main components of the noodle soup. We held the pork on the green beans, but 'pickles' were added. This was also quite unfortunate because those also take away from the sauce and green beans. (Last visit, they were soggy little, but this time was awesome)

First timer! Food was delicious... servicing was AWESOME!!! There were two servers on the floor plus another floater... NO pictures of food because I ate EVERYTHING!!! Scallion pancakes and dumplings were wonderful

We ordered pork xlb, truffle xlb and fried rice. All of the food we ordered are good. They are flavorful and delicious. The chili oil, ginger and dumpling sauce pairs well. Fried rice has many seafood in it. The only problem with xia long bao(xlb) is that it tears before you can lift it off so the soup spills, and about half of them spilled. The place is quite small and we came on a weekday right when they open. By the time we left, it was almost pack. I would suggest to either reserve on weekends or join the waitlist in yelp. fyi their food and menu reminds me so much of Din Tai fung.

Really good service and the dumplings were great. The flavor was very good. The garlic broccoli was good but not as garlicky as you would think. We are definitely going back to try other dumplings. We had the spicy pork soup dumplings and the pork and vegetables steamed dumplings. We also tried the summer lychee fruit tea and the strawberry cloud smoothie, and both were very good.
