What User doesn't like about Hou Hai Dumpling House:
We had a fabulous meal for 3 of dumplings and side dishes plus beers for around $50. Plenty of choice for vegetarians and dumplings are freshly made. Try the broccoli doused in garlic and fried tofu as accompaniments.The only down side was very slow service. We got in early and were fine but others waited ages to be seated and to order. It pays to be pro-active in this situation and seat yourself, and grab a menu fro... View all feedback. What User likes about Hou Hai Dumpling House:
We live just around the corner from this place and we go once every 2 or 3 weeks. This place reminds us of restaurants in the Hutong area of Beijing where Thomas (the owner) comes from.Try the dumplings ($10) and noodles with eggplant and pork ($10) - enough for 2 people - wine $5 per glass but BYO also!Excellent value - its always great !

We were recommended to houhai dumpling house from our neighboring door and on a Tuesday evening with nothing organized to dinner, it seemed the perfect.

Nothing beautiful, but they make noodle good. and tee. can be hard to find, on the other side of the restaurant strip does not look like a serious dumpling.

Love places like houhai: unpretentious, fresh tasty eating and not much money! dumplings are delicious, but made to home noodles with pork and aubergines.
