A true Asian gem right in Norwalk that you would normally only find in flushing Queens or while traveling in Asia. We scored a table nice and early on a chilly Sunday afternoon and didn't really know what to expect. My Wife & I have been fortunate enough to have traveled to China & Japan eating our way as we navigated into the Hokkaido district of Japan to snowboard. We ordered quite a few dishes for starters we tried the Dan Dan noodles, while not the typical super spicy burn your taste buds off these noodles were so delicious & flavorful apparently these noodles are made w sesame seeds as the owners are considerate of those w peanut allergies they were scrumptious. We also had the spring rolls with chili dipping sauce they were super tasty and perfectly cooked. The pork dumplings with szechuan chili sauce were not super spicy they were delicious, fresh and tasty. I had the Tonkotsu Ramen which really brought me back to the Ramen I've eaten so much of while on various trips to snowboard in the northern region of Japan it was soooo good. My Wife had the braised beef fan. It was basically beef in a perfectly made, brown gravy with potatoes, rice and vegetables. We couldn't finish it so we took some home just like every thing else it was delicious. We absolutely had to try the fried buns for desert and we were glad we did it was so good, the little buns were Puffy, hot and soft to bite into with the perfect dipping sauce that wasn't too sweet. They were like little tasty hot edible pillows made with love. Do yourself a favor and go try this place out the owners were so sweet to us they were attentive, polite and you could really tell they cared about the customer we talked about food, whisky, and travel. We know they'll be days where it's gonna be hard to get a table because everything is so amazing and more importantly the owners truly rock and really deserve success.

These are the dumplings you are looking for. Unable to decide which dumplings to choose I asked if it would be possible to try them all and they graciously agreed to bring us two of each. Delicious, and I request that dumpling sample flights wind up on the next menu revision. Beef and celery and the pork dumplings were my favorite. Also the Takoyaki, octopus ball, were creamy, crispy and full of cephalopod. Next I tried the Dan Dan noodles, I enjoyed their spiciness but they were just a bit too hot for my companion. Pork ramen was rich with firm noodles and just the right amount of extras (egg, nori, bamboo, pork). We ended the meal with fried buns with sweet dipping sauce. Good Hope Dumpling is exactly the kind of neighborhood restaurant Norwalk needs more of.

Very nice and cozy place with friendly staff. Food quality has been very good. Still we have the following suggestions: 1- Base broth for the ramen can be a bit more thicker 2- Add a bit more garlic (and black garlic) to the ramens (can be asked in case some people don't want it), but in our opinion the more garlic the better:) 3- Provide an option to people in case they are willing to pay more and have "pasture raised" meats/chicken/egg in their servings Again, these are all suggestions, and you are already pretty good:)

Was watching one piece. And OTama started giving dumplings away. Naturally needed now dumplings for lunch. We ended here. And instead of asking for a plate of dumplings each we decided to ask for several and share . Everything g was delicious. By the end ordered some sesame balls, and I was expecting a different flavor. Really happy surprise new flavor to my list. Kid had fried noodles and loooved them The decoration is really cute. The place is family friendly and nice. And the food delicious

We have been coming here for a few years, it is our absolute favorite place for Ramen! So tasty!!!! We love dining-in because of the wonderful attention we get. Nikki, the owner, is so nice and sweet! We love having conversations with her and we look forward to having them. We highly recommend their food! Ramen is my top favorite, but my boyfriend has tried many of their other dishes and always compliments how delicious they are. Parking is super easy, never have had trouble finding a spot.

Orient cannot taste better! A hidden paradise of the must exquisite food with the power to bring the far East right in front of your lips. Added to this, the hostess will make you feel just like home. Cozy, sophisticated, and yet quite traditional. This place brings you love and nourishment at the same time. I dare to say no place in China Town that I know can beat Good Hope, and if you don't believe me, try it and proof me wrong. Please come and enjoy all these wonders as I do!
