Get the mushroom buns!!! - Edit
These mushroom buns were so good I had to stop and think—“I should post this on happycow so other vegans can enjoy what I’m enjoying.” The mapo tofu was good/ok but not my style (I feel like every restaurant has veryyy different mapo tofu; I guess it’s like a each place has their own family recipe situation? Or it varies so much by culinary region?) and this one was drier and also quite spicy (rather than sweet). We also got the veg flat noodles which were so good and tasted so nostalgic even to my white friend haha.

Insanely Good!! - Edit
I had the fried soft tofu and the eggplant in spicy sauce. Both were amazing!! This is my favorite local Chinese restaurant.

Delicious Basil Eggplant - Edit
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.

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!

Amazing food! - Edit
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.

Delicious vegan options - Edit
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 😋

Best Tofu I’ve Had - Edit
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!
