The Dumpling Lady — Restaurant in Charlotte

I love coming to this place and trying new things on the menu. Today I had the chicken shiitake noodles and I believe my favorite part was the shiitake mushrooms. They absorb so much flavor from the broth for a minute I wasn’t even eating noodles I was just picking around Eating the mushrooms. What made me come in today was those garlic green beans!! I don’t care if you don’t eat vegetables, you will love these! Also got the scallion pancakes personally couldn’t figure out which one tasted better dipping them in the chili sauce or letting them absorb some of my broth from my noodles. Either way they were both amazing and you can’t come to The Dumpling Lady without of course getting some dumplings so I got the shrimp and chicken.

Just in case, if you was wondering, I ate every last bit and can’t wait to come back for more!!!!

For my heat lovers, get the spicy beef noodles for my vegetarians who loves spice ask about the burning noodles !! These are my favorite dishes. I couldn’t call myself a foodie though if I don’t explore her menu.

Overall this is...

Tiny shop with only a few tables. Gentleman who took our order at the counter was friendly and helpful running through what was popular.

Food came out quick, maybe a 5 minute wait. We shared a dozen pork and chive dumplings and I had the pork belly rice bowl.

This may have been the best rice bowl over ever had, it was absolutely amazing. My wife had the cumin beef noodles which was also tasty, but as the name implies very cumin forward. I prefer cumin as a supplemental seasoning, not the primary flavor driver, so I didn’t like her dish as much as my own.

The dumplings were quite tasty as well, and being as it’s what they are known for that makes perfect sense.

Overall a must visit if you’re going to be in charlottes south end for any...

First time trying this place and would highly recommend. I did a pick up order and within 15 minutes my order was ready. This location doesn’t have much parking around but the food makes up for that. I ordered the fried pork buns, the chili chicken noodle lunch combo with sweet pork belly dumplings and a cane cola. The fried pork buns were light, flavorful and soft with each bite. The sweet pork belly dumplings were by far my favorite, it was sweet tangy and the pork was so juicy. If you like spicy you will love the chili chicken noodles. It was packed with delicious spice and the heat was a medium at best. Highly recommend this place for fresh, handmade dumplings and mouthwatering...
