Mr. Dumpling Express — Restaurant in Hamilton

Went in at 10:00 on a Saturday night (closes at 10:30), was promptly greeted at the counter and ordered one of the dinner for 2 combos displayed on the wall. We had the crab cheese dumplings (4), general tso's chicken, chicken fried rice, and beef and broccoli. The price was ~$25 and we ordered as take-out.

Their dumplings were amazing, they were crunchy and filling, a shame the dinner for 2 only came with 4. General Tso's chicken came with freshly-cooked broccoli and pineapple, sauce for it was yummy as well. The breading for the chicken was kind of slimy, but that might be because of the sauce. The chicken didn't taste bad, but I will admit one of the pieces I ate just felt like connective tissue and was tough to eat, probably should have just spat it out. The beef/broccoli was OK, beef was tender but the dish was half beef half broccoli, not a big variety of vegetables in this dinner combo. Chicken fried rice was alright, quite standard for a Chinese restaurant and the portions were enough to eat a second time.

In the future I just want to buy a bunch of dumplings from them, I have a feeling they might be delicious as just a bunch, though they were pricy (crab and cheese dumplings are 1 dollar each on their menu, believe their pork/chicken ones are 80 cents each?). Great place to...

Literally the most painfully experience I have ever had ordering from Mr. Dumpling. Looking at the menu online to place a order only to be told they don’t have these items. I said but there on your menu. They tell me where and I say online. They then tell me they don’t have a menu online. Which I am looking right at as I order. We proceed to place our order and then when asking for a vegetable dish he is asking me if I want chicken, beef, or shrimp. Buddy, I want vegetables, he says we don’t have that. - facepalm!

Needless to say this place is going right down the toilet, why have a menu posted online if you don’t offer that menu. You have broccoli, you have garlic sauce, but we can’t make you a broccoli with garlic sauce even though it’s on our menu.

I doubt we will be coming back purely based on this...

Mr. Dumpling Dundurn St. Hamilton Excellent chinese food and decent prices. Highly recommend. I had to call back after my meal to let them know how great my food was today. I found out the name of the woman who cooked my food.
