Food: Authentic but inconsistent

While largely authentic and boasting of freshly handmade meals, the reviews of Sunny Dumpling House are nothing if not a mixed bag. Several reviews point to inconsistency in the flavors, some finding meals overpriced or bland. The food's creativity is acknowledged, though a need for more variety is clearly expressed. However, the large, generous portions and the great value for the quality of food seem to somewhat counterbalance the negatives.

  • Okay Taste

    Some reviews mention average food, balanced by either good or bad service.

  • Low Variety

Vibe: Uninspiring ambience

The ambiance here is certainly nothing to write home about. Situated in an unappealing plaza location, the setting lends no charm to the overall experience. Besides, the space is ill-suited for a peaceful date night due to its crowdedness and high noise levels. The lack of alcohol and relatively plain decor are tasteless condiments added to the bland dish of the ambiance.

  • Bad Aesthetic

    Unpleasant plaza location dampens the appeal of the restaurant setting.

Perks: Mixed service experience

Sure, there's plenty of parking, but the insides of Sunny Dumpling House don't offer Wi-Fi and it's hard to get phone signal. The wheelchair-unfriendly nature of the restaurant, the cramped space and long waits certainly don’t do any favors. That being said, the service is generally okay, if not particularly noteworthy. Most positively, the chefs are ready to adjust a spice level for kids and are considered very accommodating to families.

  • Great for Kids

    Chef adjusted spice level for kids; very accommodating to families.

  • Okay Service

    Service varies; sometimes friendly and efficient, other times not special.

  • Bad for Diets

    Very few vegetarian choices available, though willing to return.
