⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Dumpling Lady truly exceeded all expectations! From the moment I took my first bite of the chicken and shrimp handmade dumplings with chili oil, I knew I was in for a treat.
Each dumpling was bursting with flavor and filled with a delectable combination of chicken and shrimp that tasted incredibly fresh.What truly set these dumplings apart was the chili oil - it added the perfect amount of spice and depth to every bite.
It was evident that the ingredients used were of the highest quality, making each mouthful a delightful experience.The attention to detail and the care put into crafting these dumplings was unmistakable.
From the perfectly pleated wrappers to the flavorful filling, every aspect was expertly executed.Whether you're a dumpling enthusiast or simply looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, I cannot recommend The Dumpling Lady enough.
Trust me, you won't be disappointed!


Amazing in every way! I’m so glad this was the place I decided to try in Optimist Hall.
The chicken and shrimp dumplings were extremely good.
The spicy noodles were VERY spicy, but still great.
This place is popular too and for good reason.
There was a line wrapped around, but we still got our food rather quickly.


Some of the Best Noodles & Food I've had ever! Just enough meat to noodles & heat ratio & the beef 🤤 it was so tender & seasoned to perfection (not just covered in juice).
The variety of dumplings & noodle choices are out of this world.
Can't say anything but greatness about this location.
There's a reason it's one of the busiest locations here make sure to check them out & order a few of everything you can't go wrong 10/10 ☺️
