Great for groupsOutdoor seating

Growing up in Northern China, dumplings have always been the most special food for our family reunion. Apart from being tasty, what really makes them special is that their preparation involves all the family and the harmony and joy created among our family members: grandma makes the filling, uncle makes the dough, auntie makes the wrapper, mom makes the perfect dumplings, dad makes the most ugly ones and children simply get messy with flour in laughters. Now having children of our own, we started United Dumplings, hoping to pass along our fond childhood memories of happy family reunions to our children through our interpretation of dumplings. During the process of creating our menu, we kept grandma’s handed-down recipes but also incorporated the flavors we brought along with our life adventures. We hope you will enjoy them! Sincerely, Sandy and Julia

What diners say

“When I’m craving authentic Chinese food, I come here and get the Sichuan dumplings in red oil and pea shoots with garlic; it never disappoints. The Sichuan dumplings are packed with flavor without being too spicy and the pea shoots are consistently tender, garlicky and juicy. Other dishes that also hit the spot are the Sichuan Dan Dan noodles and five spice tofu. The only dish I didn’t like was the beef noodle soup — the beef was tougher than I prefer and the ratio of noodles felt too high.”

“We were in the neighborhood and found them had good reviews. Their Xiao Long Bao were excellent both the steamed version and the pan fried version. Also had chicken dumpling buymt wished I had tried the pork dumplings instead. Mushroom tempura is not bad.”

“We had takeout from United Dumplings and loved it! We tried the shrimp, pork, vegetable, and chicken mushroom truffle dumplings , all were delicious and full of flavor. Definitely a spot we’d come back to on our next visit!”

“The curry chicken rice was amazing. 8.9/10. The garlic broccoli was equally as good. The pot stickers are a big yes. The bao was okay. I'm not a fan but a lot of bread or sweet good. But all in all is a solid place to eat.”

“Im a sucker for good dumplings and years of living in HK set the bar higher than what united dumplings served up. I only tried four of their dishes, the grandma pork dumplings, the Sichuan wonton, the sui mai and their har goa. So the grandma pork by texture is not bad but served up with just a bit of soy sauce. This dumpling needs some good chilli oil and some chives or thin sliced green onion to bring out the flavor. I d ask for the chilly oil but even the chilly oil lacked flavor and spice. The Sichuan wontons weren't bad but lacked the spice level. Sichuan is well known for spicy dishes ... What happened here? The sui mai and har gao were insane by size but size doesn't make up for flavor. Good old saying, less is more. The atmosphere of this place is cold and rather sterile, it could use either some colors or dim the lights a bit. Make it warm and inviting and enhance the flavors...”
