"The Dumpling House" is located along Victory Road, near the school district. The restaurant specializes in shumai, xiaolongbao, steamed dumplings, and hot and sour soup, making it popular among many students. Its signature dish, the thread wrapped shumai, features a filling of juicy meat paired with shrimp and stretchy cheese, which is truly unique.

The storefront has an open-air design with two four-person tables and chairs outside, while the inside has four four-person tables, accommodating around 20 people. The preparation and dining areas are separated, and due to the limited space, there can be a wait during busy dining times.

The menu at Dumpling House includes the following: besides the signature thread wrapped shumai, there are options for boiled dumplings, steamed dumplings, xiaolongbao, soup dumplings, wonton soup, hot and sour soup, and corn chowder to choose from.

Shrimp Soup Dumpling $95
Each order comes with 8 dumplings, which are handmade daily with thin skins and generous fillings. One bite of the juicy dumpling might burn your tongue if you're not careful! The filling combines piping hot meat juice with tender shrimp, making it a xiaolongbao shop worth returning to. I really love the juicy and thin-skinned variety.

Thread Wrapped Shumai $95
Each order comes with 8 dumplings, known for its signature wrap that features cheese. This was my first time trying shumai with cheese that creates a stretchy effect, and it was really cool and interesting. In addition to the meat juice, the added creamy cheese and a hint of corn make it a creative dish.

Hot and Sour Soup (Small) $35
This soup includes egg drop, wood ear mushrooms, shredded pork, tofu, and bamboo shoots, packed with a lot of ingredients in a large bowl. If you order soup noodles, it’s very filling. The broth is tangy with a slight spiciness, making it very appetizing.

My thoughts: Initially drawn by the creative thread wrapped shumai, I personally prefer the shrimp soup dumplings more. The soup is so abundant it can easily burn your tongue, truly the nemesis for my sensitive tongue.
