They exceeded my expectations, for sure. The staff were all very friendly, helpful, and patient, especially with my 3 younger kids. The food was even better than the service. My son said theirs is the best sweet and sour sauce he's ever had, and I can't say he's wrong. The only regret about the dumplings (we tried chicken cabbage and pork leek) was that we didn't order more. If we're ever in the area again, we will definitely make a stop at Dumpling House.

Plus, they have a ton of vegetarian options, which I really appreciate! The service was amazing!! Everyone was so sweet and welcoming, like they actually enjoy being there (and it shows)! The place was spotless, the food came out fast, and every single bite was a win. I already know I’ll be back regularly!!

Seek out the amazing Szechuan and even Uyghar style dishes. We had cumin lamb and northeast braised pork, both of which were incredible. Best in years, even compared to major Chinatowns where we've been around the world. Service lovely. Muncie, you are so lucky to have this place!

This place is a hidden gem in Muncie, far better than any other Chinese or Japanese restaurant in the area. While it might be a bit pricey, the generous portions make it worth it.

The drinks menu is somewhat limited, primarily featuring canned sodas and bottled water. However, they do offer three lovely varieties of hot tea, which are a refreshing change from the typical Lipton served at many buffet-style Chinese places. Most dishes are served family-style, which means you'll get your main courses and sides on large plates, along with a bowl of rice for each person—no side plates here. They also offer hot pot, a fun option for a group of friends looking to try something different that isn’t widely available. Just be sure to give them a day's notice so they can prepare all the necessary ingredients for your outing. Portion sizes are generous; individual meals are available only if you choose a combination option. Otherwise, the other menu items are a la carte, with small portions easily serving two people and larger portions suitable for four. Keep this in mind unless you’re in the mood for leftovers! Everything I tried was fresh and flavorful. The refreshing cucumber salad was so good that I wouldn’t hesitate to order a large portion for a family dinner. The fried tofu was slightly overcooked for my liking, but I personally prefer mine a bit softer, so that’s just a matter of taste rather than a complaint. Regarding their hot and sour soup, while it might not surpass my homemade version, it certainly stands out for its balanced flavors—many places tend to serve bland versions. Overall, Dumpling House has become one of my favorite restaurants in Muncie!
