Mama Dumpling is described as fresh, handmade dumplings cooked to order in view of customers, with a cozy, intimate feel and friendly service. Diners praise the variety and flavors, especially the lamb and coriander dumplings, the pan fried version often preferred to steamed, and the shrimp won ton and hot and sour soups. Portions are generous, making leftovers common, and the dumplings are made to order with the kitchen visible to diners. Some reviews note issues like wait times during busy periods and occasional undercooked dumplings, and a few mention that the prices can be a bit high. There are mentions of food safety concerns in a couple of reviews, including one report of food poisoning and another stomach upset tied to peanut butter dumplings. Frozen take home dumplings are a popular option for convenience.
Friendly staff & fast service. The shrimp & lamp dumplings were the table favourites. Didn't love the mushroom & vermicelli dumplings as they weren't soupy.
Food used to be decent but deteriorated quite drastically recently. Spring rolls were not crispy enough & tasted like the oil used wasn't hot enough. The steamed dumplings were all glued together & no way we could get one out without breaking the dumpling wrapper, thus losing all the soup inside. Honestly, I can easily get a pack of frozen dumplings from an Asian grocery store & taste much better & cost far less. Also, we can see quite a lot of dust & spider webs on the decorative lightbulbs & steamers on the walls, makes one wonder how much effort the owner took to maintain the store.
C'est super mal propre. La vaisselle est mal lavée & une tonne de poussière & les table non laver. Le service est horrible, la serveuse reste assis derrière le comptoir quand il a des table à laver & des gens à servire.

We ordered SHRIMP dumplings. What we received was some sort of ball of various ingredients including cabbage & who knows what else. Some of the pieces tasted pork-y instead of fishy. Also the peanut sauce had to be ordered separately. After ten minutes the dumplings had hardened up to be become hand-to-chewy. Don't bother. Go For dim sum elsewhere.
Went here for dinner. I ordered peanut butter dumplings & spring rolls. There was hardly any peanut butter on the dumplings & the dumplings fall apart as you are trying to eat them & the meat inside comes out so you have basically wet pasta & tiny pieces of meat. The spring rolls weren't fried properly. They were mushy instead of having a crispy outside. Also they were not the same size.
3% kitchen appreciation fee added to the check. Fine enough it would be a 3.5 if I could give that rating. Standard quality for the area, decent but nothing spectacular. Sesame balls were my favorite part of the meal.

Ils n'ont pas de goûts mais la pâte est bonne. Les assaisonnements son inexistants... On a pris ceux au porc & au boeuf & honnêtement pour le peux qu'on goûte ils goûtent la même chose ou presque. Nos wonton même chose ils sont meilleurs avec la sauce soya sinon boff Je vais donner le bénéfice du doute qu'on as eu une mauvaise batch mais bon
2 weeks ago we ordered for pick up. Ordering no issue, they said 20 minutes, no issue. Got to the restaurant & the order was not ready,again, seriously not an issue. So we waited 5 minutes for the order that was just prepared got home & everything was cold. We live literally 7 minutes (with lights) from the restaurant. To spend the amount of money was fine, but to have to put everything in the microwave, including the pan fried dumplings that were just cooked was unacceptable. I understand bad nights & having to wait, but to get cold good not cool. After warming up the dumplings food was good & tasty. Tried calling but got disconnected 3 times.
