The steam pork and chive dumpling and pan fried pork and leek dumpling are really good. The braised beef noodle soup is a good taste one. Plus nice staff (even though I cannot speak Chinese) is a bonus

I was so busy eating that I couldn't take photos of half the food and some of these are taken with a few bites in. First of all, they don't come all at once. They just trickle in one after the other with a term in between. The crispy pork was really nice so as the shrimp and leek dumplings. They were made fresh in house. We ordered about 6 dishes and the price seemed relatively reasonable. Would visit again to try a few other menus.

Food is always delicious at Chinese Dumpling House. Food comes out quickly, the dining area seats about 30 people, wait staff is nice although they don't speak the best English. I never let this become a problem, they've never gotten my order wrong. I used to go here 1-2 times per week, when I lived closer to Markham. Even now, 7 years later, the quality is the same. Definitely recommend!!! Cash or debit only, no credit cards.

If you're looking for some really tasty Northern Chinese cuisine, this place is a hidden gem! From the outside it looks very unassuming and inside is also runned down...but the food is delicious! I am in love with the cold potato dish, sweet, sour and garlicky! I am so glad to have found this place...everything I have tried so far has been delicious. The noodle dish is the original version that Koreans took inspiration from to make jajangmyun. The noodle texture was amazing but the flavors were just very salty. The dumplings were pretty decent but not amazing. The beef and the pastry was amazing! I totally recommend.

The restaurant itself does not look like anything special inside but they have great food and dumplings. The service is not great and the people there don’t really speak any English, so trying to ask them anything about the menu is basically impossible. Luckily the food is good enough to make me overlook the so-so service.

Fresh dumplings made on the spot! It’s a very casual restaurant, and they’ve been there for many years, so don’t expect anything fancy! Their food consistently taste good every time we visit, service is quick & prices are very fair. We also love their veggie dishes too! Highly recommend if you’re looking for some fresh authentic dumplings!

Fantastic northeastern food! The peanut sauce cold noodle dish was so refreshing and had just the right amount of saltiness with a pinch of sweet, and the dumplings had a great thickness and consistency with a rich meaty inside with fresh greens inside. Everything was done very well, and the server was very friendly, adding to the experience. Next time I'm in Toronto, I will be back.
