Northern Dumpling Kitchen Xìng Lóng Xuān

Most authentic Northern Chinese dish. We always order the soup filled dumpling, best in GTA so far. I am also from northern part of China and this is as close as it get without traveling to China

With my lunch meeting free Tuesday, my colleagues and I were free to venture out for lunch. Unfortunately, I couldn't decide on a new restaurant close by and not too pricy. As a safe choice, we decided on going to Northern Dumpling restaurant at Time Square plaza on Hwy 7. If you couldn't tell, northern parts of China are very popular with dumpling style dishes.  I have been here many times and the experiences have mostly been positive.<br/ <br/ Regarding the food, I think it's pretty good. Safe choices are any of the dumpling style dishes. On this visit, we didn't get the fried shrimps (which you can eat whole). The soup dumplings are amazing and can't find a better place than this for it.

Good stuff!. It's not a pretty restaurant, but the food is tasty and at a fair price. The dumplings are juicy and fresh, and are well balanced between meat and wrapper skin. Some of my other favourite dishes include spicy-salty fried fish and long green beans. If you feel like dessert, be sure to try the fried banana which is the kind that comes with an ice bath to harden the honey syrup coating.

Go with your Asian friend. Local favourite with the Asians on weekends and business suits drop in for a quick lunch weekdays. We paid $40 for 7 adults (and a two year old) to eat for brunch! Definitely have to try the pan fried dumplings and steamed pork and mushroom dumplings. Veggie dishes are garlic-y and pair well with your dumplings and tea. The deep fried green onion pancakes are a favourite.

I only like the dumplings. This is coming from a picky eater. I tried several items on the menu and was disapointed a bit. But for the price cant complain
