Dumpling House

Nice spot along a row of restaurants near the Belcourt Theatre.
Fast, casual dining.
We tried the Spicy Pork, Chicken & Coriander and Curry Beef & Onion dumplings.
The Curry Beef were the most flavorful of the three.
The Chicken & Coriander was a bit bland.
Cooking options include pan fried, steamed or boiled.
I am partial to fried or steamed.
Service was timely and outdoor seating was nice, but beware, the tables outside are VERY sticky.
The Asian Pickled Cucumbers were a nice side to add as well.

Located right near the Belcourt Theater, The Dumpling House was a fantastic find. Having never been there before we needed a little guidance.
I inquired about what’s good.
I was asked if I liked spicy, with an enthusiastic YES, I was recommended the peanut butter pork dumplings and I added an order of the hot and sour soup.
My wife, does not, she order 1/2 chicken and coriander and 1/2 pork. In short everything was f’n amazing.
So good.
The amount of spice was perfect.
The hot and sour soup was so flavorful.
The milk tea was also a delight. Everything was prepared so well.
If I had to give the place one strike was the fact that the tables were sticky and dirty from spilled soy sauce. They were very busy, so I just cleaned it off myself.
Other than that, the staff was very nice and just lovely. We will certainly be back again.
This place is the real deal.

Dumpling House had raving reviews, so of course we had to drop in while in Nashville.
We went about twenty minutes before they closed on a Saturday night.
We came in and checked out the menu, it was a bit confusing.
It said some things were out of stock but the person at the register said for us to ignore the menu because it wasn't accurate, so we were back to being confused and had to ask questions. We ordered Peanut Butter Shrimp Dumplings, Peanut Butter Pork Dumplings, A Half/Half (12pc) Curry Beef and Onion Dumplings & Veggie Dumplings (Pan Fried).
The woman making the dumpling was a bit snappy when the lady who took our order asked if the Half/Half could be put in separate containers because I am a pescatarian.
She snipped at the cashier, "don't do that again".
That didn't really sit well with us because it didn't seem like the most challenging task but more importantly, there was a kinder way for her to communicate that to the cashier, and ultimately us since we were within ear shot and I'm pretty sure she knew that.
But hey, it was late, they were about to close and maybe that was the rule.
Either way, a kinder/clearer line of communication would've been appreciated and gone a long way.
But nonetheless the dumplings were amazing. Peanut Butter Shrimp Dumplings (10/10) - The peanut butter sauce was nothing short of amazing.
The dumplings were steamed to perfection and and flavorful. Peanut Butter Pork Dumplings (10/10) - They truly were identical to the Shrimp Dumlings, See above. Curry Beef & Onion Dumplings (10/10) - The curry beef was savory and juicy.
The flavors were very robust.
It can be described as a party in your mouth. Veggie Dumplings (Pan Fried) (10/10) - These were a different texture than the other because they were the only pan fried ones and I simply loved them just the same.
They also had nice crunch throughout with the veggies.They didn't come with the peanut sauce but the sauce was so good I used it to coat these ones too.
