Nine Dumplings — Restaurant in Vancouver

This place is hidden within the city square shopping centre food court. I was looking for vegan options and got their purple skin dumplings. The shop is quite automated where you order from a machine and then someone brings your food out. I originally wasn’t sure if 6 dumplings were worth $10 and still think it’s a bit pricey, but they are quite hearty and a good amount of filling packed within them. You dip them into black vinegar and it balances out the saltiness. The style of dumpling is thicker skinned, making it more chewy but that’s just a note based on your preferences.

I wouldn’t go out of my way to come back, but if I’m in the area, I’d definitely try their other non-vegan dumplings and dishes. One thing I do like about this place is that they have a handful of vegan options and they do them well. So if you’re vegan, definitely come check...

Tried Nine Dumplings on a whim while shopping at the City Square mall and was so delighted by the quality food, the excellent service, and the fantastic array of options!

The food was excellent, but there was a bit of confusion when ordering. I had to self-order, and I thought I just had to wait. I waited several minutes and there was no indication that my order was being processed. I rang the gong, and a staff member appeared out of nowhere. He started to prepare my order, but he has no visibility on the counter when he's in the kitchen.

I had the vegan Dan Dan noodles, and he offered me a free Dixie cup of a sweet beverage. It was nice, but the noodles were the star of the show, especially with the greens and peanuts. I took a moment to read his dumpling menu, and was certainly intrigued.

I ate in a noisy food court that had a lot of spilled food around the trash station, so 3/5 is the...
