★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Anika Hall · Jan 2026

I hate to leave this review but it saddens me to say they changed their recipe. The previous whiting fish was classic — bone-in, flavourful, uniquely West Indian. Now, they’re using cheap fillets that you buy in bulk (probably to save costs) and it shows in the quality. Dumplings are still amazing. But their best seller has gone down the drain. If something isn’t broken, why fix it?? This is heartbreaking and I wasted my money giving this a try. Was not worth the disappointment.

OMG! I've been going to the Dumpling Cove for so long and I was so disappointed yesterday, September 16, 2025 when I stopped to get breakfast. The place was empty. Upon approaching the counter, I noticed that the dumplings were like the size of golf balls so I asked the young man "how dem dumplings so small"? He said asked the chef. I shouted out to the chef and ask the same question. For the entire day I was so mad with myself after ordering the number 4 on the menu board. The saltfish was old, tough and unseasoned. Made me so nauseous. I noticed that the regular staff wasn't there and it's a different chef. Very disappointed 😔 I had to dump the saltfish. Back to the Original Dumpling Shop.

I recently visited Dumpling Cove and ordered a medium curry goat, requesting no vegetables. When I got home and opened the styrofoam container, I was shocked. The portion of curry goat was tiny, a mere scoop of mainly bones, while the plate was overwhelmingly filled with rice. On top of that, the food looked like it had been dumped in the container with no care or attention to plating. It was ridiculous and disappointing. For the price I paid, this was completely unacceptable. The curry goat itself was also underwhelming in flavor and did not meet my expectations. As a local resident wanting to support a neighborhood business, this experience was especially frustrating. It’s disheartening when businesses serving a primarily Black clientele fail to uphold standards that respect their cust

They changed their recipe for the whiting fish, and they now used processed frozen whiting an instead of fresh ones it’s DISGUSTING! DO NOT BUY! Soggy and nasty
