The Original Dumpling Shop

The food is just ok for me. I ordered the whiting with fried dumplings and plantains. The fish was a bit bland. The dumplings and plantains were ok. Annmarie, the cashier, was amazing!!! She offered a warm greeting with a great smile. She's courteous, attentive, professional and has a great disposition. She consistently offered a high level of service to all customers

I love the food here. It's my family’s favorite fish & dumpling spot. But the wait time on my recent experience was terrible. I'm leaving this review with hopes that management will see it make the needed changes. Sundays will be busier please staff accordingly. Sending with love. If you aren’t in a rush, eat here the food is amazing but if time and quickness of service is a concern you may want to look elsewhere. My estimated time for pick up was 10:57 and it’s 11:32 at the time of writing this and I’m still waiting.

The Original Dumpling Shop is an absolute gem! I had the pleasure of performing there with my Prolific Poet colleagues, and the atmosphere was incredible, warm, welcoming, and full of creative energy. It’s the perfect space for community, culture, and the arts to thrive. The food was just as amazing as the vibe. I had the fish stew with rice and peas, and it was absolutely delicious, rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The special sorrel drink was also so refreshing and truly a standout! Great food, beautiful ambiance, and a space that genuinely supports artists, I’ll definitely be back.

Food tastes great. However, the new white boxes they are using to serve food in are absolute garbage. The boxes leak and get saturated by the gravy inside of it sooo badly that even the napkins that were in the bag got wet too. I guess they are trying to find the cheapest option to serve food in that’s y they stopped serving in the plastic containers but this is horrible. By the time I got to my destination which was 15 minutes from the store, the box was just seeping fluid. Nov 26, 2025

I usually stop by this place to get fried dumplings and whitings with plantains. The dumplings are not bad. It's just a little greasy for me. The plantains are also greasy, and sometimes a little burn. They only give you like 3-4 tiny pieces of plantains (they dont cut them like the realize size). The whitings are not bad either. They are usually nice and fresh. It could take a little more salt, but I know they probably don't want to add anymore due to people having hypertension. The escovitch seasoning(onion, pepper, and carrots) is actually really good. To get extra, you have to pay 15 cents. Which I don't mind. But I just don't see the extra on the plate. The servers are polite but move a little too slow in serving the food. I do enjoy their chicken soup. It has pumpkin and all the other ground provision in it. It's really rich and delicious. Overall, it's not bad. I will keep going back.
