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.

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.
