Dumpling Kitchen (Mattapan)

Decent food, but seriously questionable hygiene. I was looking for a late-night takeout spot and ended up here since I’d had good experiences at their Somerville location last year. Ordered the salt and pepper chicken and a pork fried rice, expecting something similar. But this was one of the most disappointing Chinese takeouts I’ve had in a while. The salt and pepper chicken started off fine. Generous portions, good seasoning, and tender meat. But halfway through, I bit into a thin piece of bent metal wire. Not from the box handle, just a random metal shard mixed in with the food. It was about the size of a staple and could’ve gone really wrong if swallowed. The fried rice wasn’t any better. It tasted like it had been sitting out for some time. Lukewarm, dry, and under-oiled, with bare

I had an order over $70 and the combo plate with rice, chicken & broccoli and boneless ribs had ve re y little chicken! I'm pissed. This makes absolutely no sense.

UPDATE: I have since ordered three more times, and every time the food quality is better than OK, but my order is always wrong- the most common denominator being the fried rice. No big deal for me I guess but a big oversight for anybody who has food allergies. Ordered for two a combo dinner of house fried rice, chicken wings, chicken fingers, and boneless spareribs. Received what was more like white rice with only shrimp (no beef, chicken, ham or pork), so that was a bit of a bummer. But no big complaints about the chicken, and I will say the spare ribs were really good. I'm about 2 miles away but the food showed up within 20 minutes and was hot and fresh.

I tried Chinese food in dozen of states and I have to say this is in the top 10 worst Chinese food I ever ate. Ordered pork fried rice and I got chicken. I tried it and the rice was super dry and hard like it been left out for days and refried multiple times. The chicken you can barely taste or see since it’s like a tiny string. The chicken finger was dry and tasteless, the crab Rangoon just cream cheese with no flavor, the chicken teriyaki was just plain tasteless. The worst part is the hot and sour soup is just water with starch and chili to make it spicy, this is the worst soup I ever tried and I wouldn’t even consider it a soup since it’s like spicy water.

This is the worst food ever overpriced and disgusting. The fried rice is super hard bland. The chicken is bland. The fried shrimp that comes with the poo poo platter is bland. Everything is just horrible. The worst $42 I’ve ever spent in my life. And customer service was horrible and they like sneak up on you with prices especially for them not to deliver
