Dumpling Galaxy

Oh wow. This is really good. I was looking for soup dumplings. Cause Joe's Shanghai is closed after the pandemic. But one of my friends recommends this place. I'm so happy to find finally a good place. Fresh and tasty. I will come back for sure.

Food at Dumpling Galaxy doesn't disappoint but it's slow or lack of table service makes it hard to give it more stars. Not saying they are not good servers, they just move at the speed of slow. So if you're in a rush, this is not the place to go. For a nice sit down dining experience and you're not in a rush - then fine...sit and enjoy. Known for their soup dumplings and pan fried dumplings - all are good. Soup dumplings have a nice broth but the dough was a bit thicker than I would've liked. They do come in different flavors - presentation is pretty but I honestly didn't notice a taste difference from the usual flour ones. Still a fun thought - dough made of spinach, beets, or carrots just to name a few. Good comfortable seating - hidden gem inside the mall. Still a great value and meal option for snacking or family style dining.

An amazing variety of dumplings, both traditional style, and some varieties I’ve never seen. The vegetarian dumplings were the best in my opinion! Also tried the lamb with squash, soup dumplings, pork scallion, and money bags. The service was the only down side, it was a bit slow.

11.11.17 - I was surprised by how good this place was because I thought it would be overhyped. The staff is very nice, english speaking, and patient. We ordered the spicy beef, shrimp and green squash, pan fried pork egg chive dumplings, and the pumpkin black sesame dumplings. All were very good and relatively affordable. I would recommend this place over Tian Jin and few other dumplings spots. On a side note, I was mesmerized for a while by the video highlighting mainland rural eating culture of noodles, chinese tamales, and rice roll dishes. I would definitely go back to try their other dumpling creations and non-dumpling main dishes.

I must say I was quite impressed for my first visit. I want sure exactly what to expect from a restaurant inside a mall. The decor is cute, the area clean and bright. They have booths along the wall and tables along the front. It was a little strange that there wasn't anyone by the front desk to welcome people. We stood awkwardly for a few minutes waiting for someone to acknowledge us. Once we were seated though it was all good. The menu is extensive. Some of the dishes were on the expensive end for mall food. And there was about twenty different types of dumplings. We ordered lamb dumplings, pork with chives, soup dumplings, the house special fried rice and scallion pancakes. The fried rice was very good but the scallion pancakes were just okay. I found them a bit of too doughy. The dumplings were delicious. So tasty that it didn't really need any dipping sauces. The prices for the dumplings were very reasonable at around $7 per plate. I definitely will come back to try some more of other types of dumplings.
