I am sad… there used to be a location in Kendall Sq. I used to get the veggie dumplings and frozen packages all the time. On uber eats there’s this buy 1 get 1 free deal for the buns. I was excited since I haven’t gotten their stuff since 2022-2023 I am not sure what changed. It was like I went to the store and baked them or microwaved them? They were definitely not steamed or had the texture of a steamed bun. It definitely was like untoasted bread. No rise. What happened to the vegetable buns I swear they used to be green and had more than cabbage and carrots? Sad to say it was an expensive and disappointing take-out night. 9/10 would not recommend unless you’re in a bind and you can’t go to a store to buy frozen ones. Would of preferred to received them frozen, I would of been able to actually steam them. ☹️ I gave 5 for atmosphere because at least I was at home. I gave an overall 1 for effort.

This place is really good. The dumplings are a great size and seared nicely, I wish the dough was a bit thinner. The noodles are a great portion and seasoned/spiced well. The buns are full and soft. The scallion pancakes are good but super thin: good if you’re into that. The spring rolls are flavored well and the insides are cut and cooked nicely but they are a bit too oily. The brussels are delightful. I look forward to going back.

I’ve heard so many good things about this place, so I was a bit disappointed. The food was just okay. The service was super fast, though!
I got veggie dumplings pan fried. The filling was good. It had good texture and taste. Sadly there was a lot more oil that I expected. I do expect some oil with pan fried dumplings, but this was a ton.

The food is okay if you are looking for something like the Chinese version of KFC or McDonald’s. The Dan Dan Mien is good. But others were just okay. The skin of dumpling was too chewy. The bun was not warm enough. The environment is modern and clean. Hope the food would be better.

Portions were small and the only good tasting thing was the pork buns which were actually really good. The Dan Dan noodles just weren’t it…tasted like a weird, very aggressive, expired peanut flavor. Not Dan Dan noodles at all. Ended up not even eating it. But the staff was nice and online ordering was good.

I wasn’t blown away by this place, but it is solid and likely worth checking out some of the other things on the menu. I got the veggie dumplings with sauce. I would’ve liked the dumplings to be more crispy, but the sauce was very flavorful. Nice, clean, bright decor. I think worth another try down the road for something different on the menu.

I love dumpling daughter! After walking by this location a few times I am glad we finally tried it. They have a good selection of vegan options and the food is very tasty! The prices were good too! The only thing I didn’t like was the buns, they were just a little too bready for my taste. I love that they add golden raisins to the fried rice.

Best dumplings I’ve ever had. Delicious through and through. My friend and I were talking, and I had to stop talking because the food was too good. I didn’t want to be distracted.
They sell a cookbook with all their recipes, and the day we were there, they were hosting a dumpling-making class.

Recently tried the Dumpling Daughter in Brookline for lunch. The service and staff were very kind and helpful, but the food was only good. Dumpling Daughter is more like Chinese fast food then authentic Chinese food. It wasn’t bad, it was average and good for a quick lunch. The location was bright and clean and had ample tables.

The customer service was amazing, but the pork and chive dumplings I got were extremely soggy and the meat tasted sour. The only good part of the dumplings was the soy sauce. I also got a wrap which was pretty good. The dumplings could have been much better if they were fried and the food was fresher tasting.
