Robin told us about this down-low dumpling spot way the hell out in Scarborough, he said it was incredible so naturally we hopped in the rides and missioned it out to Midland and Finch for some tasty Shanghai Cuisine. Google maps messed us up and we wound up at a factory first but finally reached our destination. I love soup dumplings and this place repped, we got rounds of dumplings, all kinds but that was just the tip of the iceberg. We ordered jumbo meatballs in a hot pot, followed by green beans with spicy pork, prawns and chillis, a whole crispy roasted chicken, jellyfish salad fried rice served in a seasoned bucket and for desert we got these deep fried candy apple pieces, my mind was officially blown. We all chipped in $20 each, you could probably eat here for less but we ordered a lot of food. We just had to get takeout, I was eating that shit the next day with some sauteed pea shoots. Gotta go back soon!!! This place is worth the mission but if you live in North-East Scarborough, you're lucky. Check their website for more info. www.dumplingking.ca

ME WANT DUMPLINGS!
we just repped this place last week. next time try the sweet and sour crispy eggplant, it's so good
I am affraid of the joint on Spadina.
This place looks hot though!
I don't mind Dumpling King, but Mother's Dumplings still holds the top spot for me. You cannot deny their shrimp, pork, egg & chives bundles of total joy.
Thanks the the tips Rob - Laura & I checked this out last night after a successful craigslist run.
The fave for sure were the pork & pickled cabbage dumplings - a complete flavour delight. A close second were the green beans with spicy pork. Shrimp/egg/chive dumplings were also a hit.
I was rather disappointed with the pan fried super-spicy shrimp (I found them bland & tough), but otherwise I totally approve & will head out there again.
Also awesome - the restaurant next door is called "Hot Party".
So. Damn. Hot.
Dear god...I went on Friday and mashed the rice w/pork & cabbage...some dumplings...deep fried spicy eggplant (as recommended by Clarence (was pretty amazing) and finished with the deep fried candy apple pieces (which I have never seen...heard of...or tried anywhere before...
Needless to say we'll hit it up again for sure...good find!
Oh wow!
I love this place, I'm so glad you guys blogged about it.
Have you tried the Fish in water or whatever? It's amazingly spicy.<3
