Dumpling Chinese Food — Restaurant in Hasbrouck Heights

Update 2024:

I've ordered for pick-up here numerous times since first trying this place out, and it's become my go-to in the neighborhood, because it's convenient. Maybe they switched chefs or recipes because I actually like the hot and sour soup now. Sometimes if I have a craving, I'll even just order a quart of it. I have since tried the general tso's chicken (nice and saucy, but there are only 3 tiny pieces of broccoli), beef chow fun (pretty decent noodles for a Chinese takeout place), and fried chicken wings (fried perfectly). So far, I don't think I've had anything that's been terrible. My go-to is still the chicken and garlic sauce, but now I feel more comfortable with trying other menu items.

Tip - they have lunch specials on weekends too!

2023:

Called in an order for pick-up at around 12:15 on a Tuesday. I went with a lunch special - chicken and string beans in garlic sauce with vegetable fried rice. It comes with your choice of soup, egg roll, or a soda. The chicken was good and the sauce was great, but portions are kind of small compared to the portion sizes at a typical Chinese takeout spot. The hot and sour soup I had missed the mark. It wasn’t spicy enough or sour enough. I had to add my own chili flakes and vinegar. However, I do like that they have various mushrooms in it, including enoki mushrooms.

I wouldn’t mind trying another lunch special but next time, maybe I’ll go with the wonton...

I's working in town on this cockamamie film, anywho, the locals told me this was the best Chinese take out. Most of the foods is delicious, however, any time you order a shrimp dish from the combination dinners (those that come with egg roll and fried rice) they substitute the order with baby shrimp! This is an awful move! They'd be better off giving you less of the large shrimp that these small non-deveined, filthy, low quality garbage. If you order the same shrimp without the combo meal, they are large and delicious! Some of their beef is also not good. For instance, if you order Orange Beef, you get these fried 'beef balls', totally not as expected. Dumpling does charge a slightly higher price for their food, so they should be providing the utmost in quality... yet they fall short with the shrimp and beef here. An otherwise 5 star review becomes 3 stars for...

2 stars well I’m putting this is two stars this is about an hour and a half later or at least three hours so must now and my wife is now gotten food poisoning. You can still honor the review below but I’m just not happy about this

4 stars because I am uncertain of how I feel about the food because it’s different. Yes still a developing vegan. Not to mention they weren’t sure of what was in the meat they knew it was vegan but for anyone with allergies I can’t help you I think the chicken is soy though or tofu base. Hard to say the white rice is good the yellow rice is good which is the pork fried rice but the Lomaine lacks some taste and also because I didn’t get any vegetables in it. But very good portion for all. Give this place a shot and they’re very nice and accommodating and...
