Got Dumplings

"A small popular place. 6 fresh fried dumplings isn't quite a meal but was a good snack."

"Stopped by to grab lunch after hiking in Shenandoah NP. It was almost empty when we walked it but filled up quickly behind us. There are half a dozen 2-top and 4-top tables, but I get the impression that most people order as takeaway. I got a dumpling+side combo, my husband got spicy ramen, and we both got cold bubble tea. Everything was absolutely delicious! The prices did feel a little high. $5/ea for the bubble teas, and $10+ for the mains. The location in a university footprint almost definitely influences pricing. Oh well."

"I'm in Charlottesville for the weekend, looking for a good Chinese or dumpling spot. Lo and behold, I find Got Dumplings on Yelp. I got delivery and ordered the pork dumplings as well as their cookies and cream (oreo) boba. Big fan of the dumplings! I can see why many UVA students go here for their dumpling fix. There was an ample amount of filling, which was well seasoned and very tasty as well. The wrapper is thin, which creates a nice opportunity for you to taste the meat. The dough is high quality and there are even little crispy bits, too. I loved the dipping sauce they served this with. It was a bit sweet, but went very well with the dumplings. Reasonable price for the portion (although it's probably not enough for a meal to most). Their boba was okay, but nothing really special. I wanted to have a bit of creaminess to this drink, but it's wasn't that creamy. It wasn't very flavorful in general. The boba pearls tasted fine, and they do give you a large container (although there is also quite a bit of ice and it's pretty expensive). All in all, I'd probably pass on the boba. Definitely check this place out if you have a dumpling craving, though."
