Dump Day! – Dumpling House Restaurant (Temple City)

2009 October 21

Next on the Sister’s tour of San Gabriel Valley is… Dumpling House Restaurant (Temple City) (nice website).  Dumpling House Restaurant serves authentic northern style Corten Chinese food. Northern style Chinese cuisine is known for its noodles and dumplings.  This is because the cold climate of the north is much more suitable for wheat while rice flourishes in the warm southern climate.

Wow, we loved the big comfortable room and the large menu selection.  We were excited to find a place we could bring the dumpling-phobic members of our family; there’s something for everyone here.  But the big bonus was… BEER AND WINE!  (Next girls night out, yeah)

The food?  Great.  I can comfortably recommend this spot.  We’ll definitely be back and try some more of the non-dumpling options.  UPDATE – On our second visit with the kids we must say we were a bit disappointed overall the food seemed a bit greasy so I must amend this by say it can be spotty.

Green Onion Pancake-  Soo good I forgot to snap it before we dove in.  I think this is my favorite GOP; crispy, flakey, chewy!

Mandarin Style Beef Chow Mein- Lovely; not oily or over sauced, great balance of light and hearty.  This made me want to try some of their other options.  Can’t wait to bring my noodle obsessed daughter.
