KungFu Dumpling 功夫水饺 黔味馆 — Restaurant in Richmond

I have ordered many dishes from this place through delivery services since they opened during the pandemic time. I have tried pretty much every dumpling and some other dishes here and loved them all, however I always thought it would be even better if I can have them right after they're cooked. Today, I finally had a chance to visit here. There are not that many seats. A table with 2 high stools at the front window and a table with 3 high stools at the inner wall. The two gentlemen working in the kitchen were very polite and welcoming. The open kitchen was clean and well organized. Delivery service people kept coming to pick up their orders ,but there were no other dine in customers. We ordered the boiled dumplings with cabbage, the pan fried dumplings with chive, the deep fried dumplings with shitake mushrooms (extra fee), and Chinese eggplants with sesame paste. The dumplings were definitely better than the delivered ones. Traditional style thick dough was delightfully chewy, every filling was well seasoned with great flavours (especially chives one). With a bit of broth in every single dumpling, it was absolutely worth to visit there in-person. I will probably go there as often as I order online...

Online ordering on your phone is confusing (e.g. why is there no option not to save your credit card info?). I tried to order by phone because of this credit card issue and the person taking the order said that I would save money, and it would be easier for him, if I ordered online from their website. I was happy to do that. I was surprised to see an extra service charge of just over 5% on the order. Presumably this is going to Zomi Eats -their website provider? Maybe I missed it but I sure didn't see that there was going to be an additional service charge. Prices on the website did seem to be cheaper than those listed on the wall in the restaurant but after you add the service charge it's not that different. Not sure why calling in the order is discouraged. Dumplings were super tasty though. Just not thrilled with the...

By chance we happened on this little dumpling shop. There is not much seating, but the shop was clean, bright and quant. We had pan fried dumplings, beef wrap/rolls and green onion cake. The dumplings are definitely the best that I have had in Canada. The dough (slightly thicker like the traditional Taiwanese and Chinese style) consistency of the dumplings was just right, the filling was seasoned well and had a bit of broth when one takes a bite into the dumpling. The beef wrap/roll definitely took me back to the ones I had in Taipei. The green onion cake is made more like the traditional kind, without layers and tastes quite light and delicate. The pricing was extremely affordable as well. We will definitely visit again at every opportunity we get. Thank you for a...
