Dumpling Daughter - Weston

If you're in search of genuine Chinese cuisine, this is not the place. I tried their pork bun and it was extremely dry, crumbling in my hands. It lacked filling and didn't taste anything like the Chinese food I grew up eating. I ordered two buns and couldn't even finish one.

When you visit this restaurant, just stick to the dumplings and don't bother with anything else. Despite the name "Dumpling Daughter," I wanted to sample a variety of dishes but ended up disappointed with everything except for the noodles. The other dishes were either too salty or didn't have the flavors I was expecting. However, I did enjoy the pork and kale dumplings and would definitely order them again if I find myself back in the area.

We order from here at least once in the month and have always received good food. fair prices and fast service also!

The pork and chive dumplings were a bit doughy compared to the meat ratio (sizing was also inconsistent). The cucumber salad was more on the pickled side and not crispy/crunchy like fresh cucumbers. Coco's roll up were pretty good. There was a good crunch on the scallion pancake and beef was nice and tender, however could of definitely used some fresh scallions.

If you appreciate real asian food you would not disgrace the food as bad as this place. Just judging by the picture I had low expectations, but I gave it a try because of the good ratings. Maybe I just ordered the wrong things, but I came after work on a Friday night. I at least expect the food to be fresh. I ordered the pork leek dumplings which they must have been rationing the filling and had little to no flavor. Apart from the soy sauce on the side. The crab rangoons looked like they were sitting under a heat lamp for 6+ hours. And tasted like it too. Also the filling tasted way too strong of salty crab. The spicy wonton dish had only a bit of spice and unusually sweet instead. Not at all what I expected. The cold cucumber side dish which is supposed to be a sour spicy flavor was instead a mix of light spice and mild pickle juice. I am not trying to be racist, but the ramen was mediocre with chasu that tasted like pork buns and egg that tasted like marinated tea eggs. The noodles were over cooked and the soup was some mixture of other chinese broths. It felt like a chinese mixed noodle monstrosity. Overall I rated each dish out of 10 and came out to a whopping 9/50. Unfortunately I will have to round up to a 1 star review, but this place has to have one of the most inflated ratings that I have ever seen. We need more real reviews please.
