Rarely get to this area but we stopped in because we were hungry and we love dumplings! The inside is very clean and pleasant. Each unused table has a long stemmed flower atop the table which might be an indication that the table has been cleaned and ready for the next patron-it's a pretty touch. There are cool screen like wrought iron structures with wood cutouts separating the two dining rooms resulting in a cool aesthetic. We started with the boneless spare ribs which were very tasty-very tender and sliced thinly making it very easy to eat. They had a slight sweetness to them -very delicious. We had the pork and chive dumplings and the mixed soup dumplings. Love them all!! Thanks to a previous reviewer who suggested putting the dumpling on the soup spoon, poking holes in the top to allow the steam to escape and then pouring the sauces on top. When biting into the dumpling the soup pours onto the spoon. Such a great tip! The mixed soup dumplings came with a pork, a shrimp & pork, a crabmeat & pork, pork & truffle, chicken and beef. They were all amazing-particularly liked the pork and truffle since the truffle was not overpowering. The chicken broth and the dumpling tasted like chicken soup on a spoon! They all are so cute also! We also got the pork buns to complete our meal and they were also amazing! Sometimes pork buns are dry and doughy to me, but these were perfect! Our server was super friendly and explained menu items with detail. An enjoyable lunch and look forward to going back when we return!

This is dumpling HEAVEN! Me and my boyfriend are always searching for authentic tasting dumplings in MA and finally stumbled upon this place. The pan seared pork and chive dumplings are irresistibly crispy, savory, soft and topped with the slightly sweet dipping sauce to make the most succulent bite. We also got pork soup dumplings, sautéed flat noodles with beef, and dry sautéed string beans. Each dish was absolutely DELECTABLE and so gourmet tasting. Our waitresses each time were extremely kind and attentive the entire meal. The area is super clean and such a nice looking interior as well. I will always return here when i'm in the area for these dumplings.

We greatly enjoyed our lunch here. U Dumpling says they offer authentic Northern and Southern Chinese cuisine and specialize in gourmet dumplings. From my perspective they offer a more contemporary version of Chinese food, bordering on fusion, and I agree completely that they have some awesome dumplings. The space has a clean and contemporary feel, and offers reasonable space between their tables. Our waitress was prompt, polite and professional, cheerfully answering our questions and offering suggestions. We ordered: * Pan Fried Pork & Chive Dumpling $10.95 * Pork & Mushroom Sui Mai $11.95 * Mixed Soup Dumpling: $14.95 * Chicken Fried Rice: $13.95 What's up with these Pan-Fried Pork & Chive Dumplings? Is there a hint of cinnamon in these? Six of these arrived, they were perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. Are these the best dumplings I've ever had? Possibly so, but certainly one of the best. On to the Pork & Mushroom Sui Mai which was also perfectly cooked and delicious. I plan to order both dumplings on my next visit. The Chicken Fried Rice was excellent, the chicken was tender, and the rice had a lighter and cleaner flavor than I've found in many other restaurants. This was a great dish and quite large resulting in a tasty takeaway. I was a little less enamored with Mixed Soup Dumplings, so I guess we'd call this mixed results. I did enjoy the pork and beef dumplings, but thought the shrimp was fishy tasting and the truffle was much too strong. Overall, 4.5 stars rounded up to 5-stars because of the delicious dumpling appetizers. We will return!

We stopped here for lunch on Sunday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. The soup dumplings were our favorite. We also ordered the scallion pancake, sticky rice with chicken, and the rice roll with xo sauce. This was enough food for two people. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. She always made sure we were taken care of. I would come back again.

Was here on a Saturday night with a group of seven and had no advance reservation. We called before going and were told that there would be space. After a bit of a wait, we were seated at a table. Between the seven of us, we ordered two chicken soup dumplings, dry pot chicken, general gau's chicken, sweet & sour chicken, orange chicken, deep fried shrimp & chive dumplings, a scorpion bowl, and the sparerib in black bean sauce. The food came out as it was ready. As the name of the place suggests, the dumplings were good. The portions are large and some of the dishes were more fried than expected.

I really liked this place! Quick and attentive service, solid dumplings. I only docked a star because we ordered the flat noodles with beef(not pictured) and they were a bit of a disappointment: I think they forgot to put any sauce on them. But for a place known for their dumplings, the dumplings certainly delivered.

Westbound, hungry, and driving through an unusually slow traffic, it was only a matter of time before my itching fingers and fiendishly famished stomach determined the next course of action. Swerved off the next exit, pulled up a list of nearby restaurants, rerouted, and floored it. Fudge it. Hungry. Don't care. Hungry. Just drive like another M@$$hole and get this nonsense over with. U Dumpling House had immediately caught my attention. I couldn't recall where I had read about it but it was positive. Now that it's just a few minutes away from where I was, why the heck not? Dimsum and soup dumplings? Can't go wrong right? Then again, I don't ever remember anyone this hungry complain about anything in the moment until *way* after the meal... So I rapidly ordered away like it was my last meal before I met my maker. Stuck to the usual choices to see their take on classic dim sum dishes. Best part? Food didn't take long at all to trickle in straight from the kitchen (no dim sum cart here, as expected). While the preparation was slightly different from what I've been accustomed to for the last few decades, I found their style both pleasant and tasty. At least, most of it was...and I would have given them 5 stars easily if it wasn't for a few missteps that I can't let slide. Dry Sautéed String Beans. As good as your version is...the word "dry" means a particular technique that does not involve blanching the beans. I expected something but received something else. That one step has a different texture and matters to those who know this dish well. Moreover, I expected the soup dumplings, which you are famous for, to stand out. I can't say it did and that's me being nice. Anyways, I definitely recommend anyone in the immediate area craving Chinese food or dim sum to at least try them out once. You may end up being one of those several regulars there that day that obviously frequent this place.
