Chen’s Dumpling House 505 State Street, Madison, WI 53703

"The food here is pretty darn good. If I had to consider the fact that this place is in Madison/WI, I'd give it a 5/5. But objectively speaking, it's above average. If you live here, it's probably one of the best you can get here."

"Chen’s Dumpling House had the best dumplings I’ve ever tried. They are mouthwatering good and were still great as leftovers."

"Just about everything was perfect. The hand pulled noodles were thick and filling. The price was amazingly cheap for the quality of food. They have a sauce bar with legitimately spicy peppers. The highlight was pork chive dumplings. Some of the juiciest I've had with handmade wrappers. I could go there just for that. The atmosphere was reminiscent of a street vendor, but with plenty of table space on the second floor. The pictures don't do the taro buns' color justice, they are a pretty purple. The Xiao long bao were good, but not usual soup dumplings. They were yeasted buns instead of dumplings with the meat in a small amount of stew gravy instead. I will have to go back to try everything else!"

"This was my first time dining at this restaurant. Since it was counter service and self-service for picking up the food, I chose not to leave a tip. There was no internet available in the restaurant, and from where we were seated, we couldn't see the notice with the Wi-Fi login details. So, I asked a staff member about it when I went to pick up my food. In response, he just pointed at the notice and gave me a disdainful look. This attitude was really off-putting and made me quite angry. Regardless of how the food tasted, I won't be returning. If you visit this place, you might want to consider leaving a tip, or you could end up on the receiving end of an unwelcome glare. He ruined my day!"
