Chen's Dumpling House

Don't go here. If you do, it might take me a few minutes longer to get my sweet, sweet dumpling love. Seriously, I don't know what kind of crazy-entitled people comment here, but this is one of the best hole in the wall authentic Chinese dumpling specialists I've ever encountered. The soup dumplings were amazing, the pork and chive dumplings are incredible. The shrimp shumai were light and delicious. The barbecue pork bao were tangy-sweet. The online ordering system is fast and simple, and I recommend it since there are only four tables in this tiny restaurant and there was even folks standing in line for take-out. Order ahead, and you'll want to park on Gilman and enter the back door since there's no parking on State street.

The food here is to die for. I've ordered the Beijing Noodles with Mild Spicy, the crabmeat and pork soup dumplings, and the pork dumplings. They are so good. Every meal I get here is better than the last. The serving sizes are incredible. The meat melts on your tongue. I love this place so much! Please eat here. It's incredible.

I usually love this restaurants roasted duck soup. I ordered on Uber eats and when it arrived I barely got any duck meat. It was more duck bone then anything else. It almost looked like someone’s leftovers. But that’s not even the worst part. When I called them to tell them about this whoever I spoke to claimed I was wrong as if he was the one looking at the soup. Usually a good place to eat but poor food quality with even worse service.
