    The soup dumplings are tasty. 滷肉飯 was great as well, really liked it. The panned fried dumplings were too salty for my taste and I don’t recommend the dish with 大腸 because it didn’t taste fresh. Overall will revisit for the soup dumplings!

    Tried the beef noodle soup , soup dumplings and fried dumplings. All of them were great! I wish I could get smaller portions of the soup dumplings and fried dumplings so I could have a mix of them if I come alone. I’ll definitely return! On my third visit, I brought a friend and we tried the pork and crab soup dumpling. You can't miss at this place!

    The vibes at this spot are on point. The food here is authentic and delicious. We got so much food. The portion sizes are big. The dumplings are big. Everything was big including the taste! The aunties were in the back hand making the dumplings!! I love that it's somewhat close. Worth driving the 30 mins to get these tasty treats. I absolutely love that I don't have to go all the way to Boston for great dumplings! ♥️

    Absolutely recommend! Beautiful location close to a City Hall - you are like somewhere in Europe! Fish & pork dumplings were very delicious and the portion was generous so when I asked for a box it was especially pleasant to get a sauce in a box so that I could enjoy my leftovers at home. Sesame balls for dessert- I just could not stop myself eating those!

    Life is Short. F….it up! Family, Flavor,Friends We started out with the scallion pancakes which light and perfectly fried. Next was the mini beef skewers. Then came the handmade dumplings. We got the special which was call treasurer dumplings, this was a good sampling of each flavor all very good. Next was the braised beef noodle soup. Very flavorful unique soup and beef and very tender melts in the mouth beef. We got the soup dumplings made to order. This place make the the dumplings dough the correct way- meaning even when it cools down they don’t break. The soup in the dumplings had a clean flavor. The next item was the braised pork belly and egg rice bowl. So simple, so basic, so good, with the first bite it transports you back to your childhood - real authentic homemade dinner.

    Great selection of dumplings. Everything was fresh and loaded with flavor. They were the LARGEST dumplings I've ever seen! I love that they had a menu item that allowed me to get one of each dumpling so I could try them all. I'd definitely go back when I'm craving dumplings @amp_eats (instagram and Facebook)

    Cute restaurant! My girlfriend had been wanting to try soup dumplings, and that's what brought us here. She got the pork soup dumplings and loved them. I got the general tso's chicken over rice and it was delicious. Overall, it was a great meal with great service, and we're in agreement that we will come back again. :) There is street parking or a parking lot across the street, so it is also easy to access. Note there is a step up into the building.

    I must say that this is an absolutely great Chinese restaurant! The flavour is quite authentic, not like most those Chinese food restaurants that offer American style Chinese food, the foods here are so good! I highly recommend it if you refer Chinese flavour food!

    Been seeing this place for a while, but never stopped by; yesterday I decided to stop. Very unique dumpling, and delicious soup dumpling, from what I understand this is a north East China dumpling more specifically from Qingdao or region. You probably know their famous tsingtao beer. The dumpling itself though it tasted delicious, the shell might have expanded when cooked, so if you are not careful when you bite, the meat inside will fall off. I mean you can just put right back inside, and again absolutely delicious. The pics have the dumplings flipped over sorry.

    The dumplings are very good, the wonton soup is superb unlike any wonton soup you've had. My one criticism is that the portion sizes are too big, eight dumplings per order instead of the expected four and the wonton soup was a huge bowl, a meal in itself. I would suggest sharing the soup and limiting yourself to one order of dumplings per person. Had the soup dumplings, shumai, and the pan fried dumplings. Didn't care for the pan fried dumplings, they were just Peking ravs. The soup dumplings are great as are the shumai.

    Pot sticker is a must!! Fresh, crispy, juicy, authentic, and delicious! Their wonton soup is also very good! The food tastes the same like the one I had in China. Staffs are very friendly! Highly recommend!

    Having lived in China for 6 months, I'm very familiar with dim sum / dumplings from my time there. The pork and crab soup dumplings (xiaolongbao) were the best I have found in the US. The flavor and texture were perfection. The pot stickers were also fantastic, particularly the pork and kimchi. I live about a 40 minute drive, but after this experience I'll be looking for excuses to come back to Lowell.

    This place lives up to the reputation. Every dish I had was fantastic: Pork Soup dumplings? Great. Beef and cabbage? Excellent Chicken and corn? Good. Veggie fried rice? Very good. Everything tastes fresh and made with care. The service is good, and I highly recommend it.

    Just the perfect food for a cold winter day. We had the pork and crab soup dumplings, the cuddlefish and pork pan fried dumplings, the beef and cabbage pan fried dumplings, and the wonton soup. Everything was delicious. The pan fried dumplings were the best I've had and have this amazing crispy sheeting. And if you've never tried soup dumplings before, they are such a treat, you should definitely give them a try. Highly recommend this place!

    I order dumplings every Thursday for lunch. Let's say that they know it's me when I call :) Pork soup dumplings are the best! All other pan fried dumplings are amazing. If you like fish, the fish dumplings are a must! You can't find those anywhere. Spicy stir fry is another must try. Overall best dumplings in Lowell.

    My family and I enjoyed going to this restaurant. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The food is excellent. All the dumplings are tasty. The shrimp over rice is flavorful. It’s by far my daughter’s favorite dish. While the restaurant is small for a big family, they have been able to accommodate our party of six. Excellent place for dumplings.

  • 5/5 Kristine P. 9 months ago on Google
    Strongly suggested! You feel like you've landed in Europe with your stunning new digs so near to the City Hall. When I asked for a takeout box, I was pleasantly surprised to find a sauce in there as well, so I could eat the leftover fish and pork dumplings in the comfort of my own home. For dessert, I could not resist the sesame balls.

    Everything was amazing, fast service, & friendly staff. We tried Cuttle Fish Pork Dumplings, vegetable dumplings, mild Beef Hot Pot, & Shrimp vegetable Stir-fry Noodles.

    We visited on a Saturday afternoon and it was a wonderful way to spend the day. We got egg rolls, General Tso's chicken, and pork soup dumplings. The food exceeded our expectations and service was fast and friendly. We sat on the patio and the view was just beautiful. Definitely be visiting again soon!

    Very cute little dumpling place. Soup dumplings are A+. Nice atmosphere, outdoor seating. Fairly accessible, handicap parking out front, flat paved surface to the outdoor seating area. Just a step up to enter. Doors kept open on nice days. Staff are good about keeping their masks on.

    The food at Tasty Dumpling is authentic and delicious ! The dumplings are so tasty and the dough not too thick. The noodles are wonderful. The decor and outdoor patio very nice for dining. My only wish is that they would come to Salem, MA and open a restaurant here !
