Contribute Feedback What Peter Powell likes about Dinesty Dumpling House:
It's been years (pre COVID) since we last visited the Richmond location. Came on a whim for dinner at 8pm on a Sunday. Note last call is 8:30pm! It's still a solid choice for good dumplings, noodles and other dishes. The beef roll was perfectly done and flakey. We found the rice cakes and pork chops to be a bit too saucy and needed a bit more fire to bring the flavour. We shared an ancient boil chili fish which was b... View all feedback.
What E Lau doesn't like about Dinesty Dumpling House:
2 major problems.Went for the Wednesday special to be told it was sold out. Yet I was still able to order the beef noodle by itself. As good PR, should Dinesty not offered substitute dumplings?Worst yet, I got major food poisoning. Went to Dinesty at about 7:30. By 1:30am, severe stomach cramps. Paying for a XLB that tasted rotten as I bit into it. Ugh.
After a week travel in US and even had a chance to try one Michelin Star Din Tai Fung which is well known of its soup dumpling (Xiao Long Bao), I found out Dynasty is by far better. I spent about USD130 for 4 in DTF Seattle while I only spent around CAD 70. It is a very good value
Food was really good had abit of everything and nothing disappointed. The dumplings was honestly amazing.
Excellent restaurant. I recommend the xiaolongbao, the shanghai style noodles and the camphor tea smoked duck. Absolutely delicious. Service is fast and no frills. Restaurant is clean and spacious.
Update after several years later....Drunken chicken: extremely watered down and barely any hua diao. Chicken was dry and bland.Xlb, pork was not fresh and had a lot of pepper to cover the stinky pork flavor.Onion pancake rolled in beef, the beef was good but pancake was so oily and the sauce wasn't the right sauce so flavor isn't traditional.Red Bean pancake and red oil dumpling were the only things that I would try again. The dumping itself was good but the sauce wasn't too interesting. The red Bean paste was good.Was really worried about the place being too hot so we went early. Glad we did as it will probably be very hot if it was crowded. The restaurant beside this has very good AC and it's. Hotpot place so definitely not an issue with the building. it's extremely stuffy and hot in the restaurant. Feel a bit faint from dining here... Lol... Food was good I think? but I couldn't really tell when it's like a sauna...
The food was good, but the portions were quite small for the price.
