Serves meat, vegan options available. Chinese restaurant with vegan steamed buns, various tofu options, and other vegan dishes or dishes that can be made vegan upon request. Open Mon-Sun 11:00am-10:00pm.
I ordered general gao's tofu and basil eggplant and both were good, but the basil eggplant was stand-out great! The tofu had a crispy outer shell and soft inside, though it wasn't spongy.
Best Chinese food I've had in the Boston area, I'm moving away and this will be the restaurant I'll miss the most. I love everything I've gotten here, especially General Gao's Tofu. Great for take out and eating in although they do have live lobsters in tanks which is upsetting.
Came here last night and got the vegetable buns with mushrooms and the sautéed bean curd sheet with bamboo shoot and black mushrooms. Everything was so flavorful and delicious! The order of buns came with four buns the size of my fist, and between that and the bean curd dish it was enough food that I took half my meal home. I wished their menu explicitly labeled which items were vegan, but the staff were happy to answer my questions. I can’t wait to come back! I’m going to want those mushroom buns all winter 😋
This place is always packed for a reason. I had gotten the pepper tofu as kind of an add on thinking it wouldn’t be as good as the dumpling, but it blew it out of the water. The tofu was crunchy and spiced so well . It didn’t really hold up in terms of texture the next day but I’ll absolutely order again. Also the dumpling itself was fluffy and super filling. You could order either item on its own, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. Must visit if you’re in the area!

Wonderful & authentic Chinese food - Edit
A staple of my college experience - Dumpling House is reliably delicious and authentic, and it's easy to order vegan!
