I really love this place--the food is usually really good (the crab meat in the soup sometimes tastes different though). The service is not the most prompt, but they're really sweet, friendly people (even if they don't speak English really well). There was one time we ordered a chicken dish that wasn't quite what we were expecting and they replaced it with something else for no extra charge! They really are awesome. It's a great family place that deserves more customers. They have decent music, a tv that's usually playing a movie, a nice family atmosphere, good food and good enough service. Not to mention the really amazing prices and large servings! Definitely a place to visit--too bad it's a overshadowed by being next door to Le Chinois. I'd choose Chinese Dumplings any day!
I was only in Hamilton for a day and I wasn't quite sure where to go for dinner. After settling on this place, I liked the friendly services and I couldn't believe how cheap the menu was! And the food was excellent. The hot & sour soup was the best I've ever had and the shrimp dumplings were very nicely cooked. And the free peanuts, watermelon, and lemon flavoured water were all really nice touches. The next time I'm in Hamilton, I'll definitely go back.
When we arrived at the restuarant, we were seated...
When we arrived at the restuarant, we were seated promptly and given tea, a small plate of peanuts and menus. The menu is huge - the take-out menu I have handy lists 174 items.
We started with hot & sour soup which was quite good, although I found it a bit too mild. The small soup was more than enough for both of us and would probably serve up to four people quite well. Next up were the dumplings. This restuarant has the best dumplings I have ever tasted. Finally we had lamb with oyster sauce. We didn't order any rice to go with our meal and the lamb would have been better over rice. The lamb was good but not outstanding, having a nice combination of textures from the meat, bamboo and water chestnuts.
The service was very good.
We will definitely be coming back to Chinese Dumplings.
