Dumpling Kitchen

Solid cheap Chinese food takeout. Dumplings 9/10- insanely good and I’m super picky. Dripping sauce was really good too. LoMein 6/10- it was fine, could have used a little more flavor or sauce on it Crab Rangoon 3/10 over fried and not doughy enough. Was more cream cheese than crab Couldn’t add notes for extra duck sauce with my takeout order. But they did add a side of duck sauce and dumpling sauce with order.

This is my first time writing a review for a restaurant. Disclaimer: I’ve only ordered takeouts so I cannot comment on the service. But the food here is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Like, seriously just delicious. The dumplings were SO GOOD, and I ordered salt&pepper squid the other day and it was PERFECT. Very tasty. I’m gonna order more for them. The only complaint I have is the ridiculously long food prep time.. Other than that I would order from it every single day.

Convenient late-night Chinese takeout spot with mediocre food. Dumpling Kitchen was one of the first Chinese takeout spots I tried after moving to Boston. Back then, my friends hyped it as their late-night lifesaver, but for me, the dumplings didn’t exactly surprise me. As I explored more of Boston’s late-night Chinese food scene, Dumpling Kitchen quickly dropped off my radar. It’s not the worst option out there, but let’s just say “edible” is doing most of the heavy lifting here. Honestly, some grocery store frozen dumplings might give them a run for their money—and at least those don’t come with the sticker shock of premium prices for thick-skinned dumplings with bland fillings. The classics didn’t do much better. Both the Mongolian Beef and Twice-Cooked Beef skimped on the meat and d

The worst Chinese food I’ve ever eaten. Nothing has flavor. It is so bland and oily. Mongolian beef should be called Mongolian onions and pepper because it had hardly any beef and no taste. Chicken lo mein zero taste. Crab Rangoon zero crab or imitation for that matter. Pork dumplings were terrible. Spent over 100 dollars for food that went in the trash. Save your self the money and taste buds and order somewhere else.

I ordered delivery from Grubhub on Christmas—from what was supposed to be ‘Asia Gourmet’ so I thought I was getting it from a well rated place in Malden instead of the badly rated Dumpling Kitchen in Somerville. Hands down, all the food was disgusting—general Tsaos—tasted like it was tossed in bbq sauce-gross. Pork fried rice didn’t have pork, it had chicken and it was not fried rice. Salt and pepper calamari was soggy and tasteless. Pu Pu platter was a mix of cruddy fried things that tasted all the same (no flavor other than fried) and some nasty spare ribs—fatty with no seasoning. I spent $110 all in on food, delivery and tip and have never felt more hosed. Hopefully we don’t wake up with food poisoning.
