Katy’s Dumpling House Restaurant Review:


Part of the menu (not to mention everything in the carry-out cooler) is only written in Chinese. The not-especially-friendly staff doesn’t go out of its way to make things easy on customers either. But those in the know couldn't care less because it’s otherworldly handmade noodles --- not a chat --- that they’re after. While you can get Asian standards like kung pao shrimp and beef with broccoli, don’t bother. Following logic, it’s the items under the “homemade noodle" header --- and the pork dumplings --- you came for. We find particular success with the Szechuan cold noodle, a carb-packed pile of plenty with fiery ground meat and refreshingly cool shards of cucumber. Likewise, the spicy beef noodle soup is a rousing rendition, packed full of those squiggly noodles. But be forewarned: you might be told “that’s too spicy for you” or “no, you won’t like that.” Stand your ground and reap the rewards.
