Best Dumplings
“My husband and I went mid-afternoon and ordered 4 small orders of steamed dumplings: veggie, kimchi, shrimp and broccoli, and leek.”

“Give this little place a try just keep in mind it sits on a one way street.”

These dumplings did not disappoint!
I work in Englewood so I was quick to check it out on Yelp as an option for lunch take-out. A bunch of my coworkers got together and had quite the spread once everyone ordered. Not one person was dissatisfied. They differ from your standard Chinese and Japanese take-out locations' overly-doughy, minimally filled dumplings. They are light, whether steamed or fried, and have a generous amount of the chosen protein. The ginger chili cause is also a really good combination of sweetness and spice.
We didn't try anything of the sushi or other items on the menu, but based on the dumplings, I would venture to say they are equally delicious.
I wouldn't call them "Best Dumplings" but I guess "Pretty Good Dumplings" as a store name wouldn't be as impressive.
We didn't encounter any problems with service. The women who served us were very polite. Since we ate there, they even stopped by to ask how the food was.
We had beef and leek dumplings (fried) and the seafood soondubu. The dumplings were good, but not the best I've ever had. The soondubu was on the bland side in terms of flavor. There were other Korean items on the menu that we didn't try. If I ever crave dumplings in Englewood I would come back to try some of their other flavors.
Place is really best for takeout. Don't forget to pick up your free slushie – a mix of mango, pineapple, honey, and banana! Yum!
This is a nice little hidden gem! altho they are called best dumplings and have mostly dumplings they do have california rolls and i believe a veggie roll. They also have other types of soups, noodle dishes and other basic korean dishes.
The shrimp dumplings i got were pretty frickin good. for $8 i got 12, steamed lil nuggets of delish-ish-ness. However, they were small. I was hoping they would be a bit bigger, and have more filling but the flavour was good. as i opened the lid to them i got SMACKED in the face with a shrimp smell.
I was not impressed with the ginger sauce, I've had better from my local chinese place. It was a nice switch up from some lame soy sauce tho. I wish it were a little thicker also…hmm story of my life.
Overall, id deff come back here. I wanna try the veggie dumplings and the california combo.
$75 cent cans of soda, god damn i feel like I'm in the 90s.
PS theres only two tables, one right by the door with like 3 seats and another by the register. The asian ladies were sitting at that one so i had to sit by the door and be cold a little. Also, the plus is …if you're a big fan..you can take home these little nuggets, $14 to $18 big bag of them to take home…
"Best"…. not exactly. The dumplings are okay. I was not impressed that they didn't have pork, but we decided to try three kinds: beef, chicken and leek. The dumplings are closer to gyoza than Chinese dumplings – I'm not sure what's typical in Korean cuisine. That said, they were all bland. I've had better dumplings in many different places.
The free slushi was a nice touch – killer if you love intense sugar – but I doubt I'll be back.
I work at a restaurant nearby and wanted something simple and cheap for lunch. After reading the reviews I decided to try Best Dumplings out and ordered their fried veggie dumplings for pickup.
I was not disappointed. The dough was delicate, not overly greasy and came with a nice hearty filling. Not only that, the ginger sauce was excellent. Tangy, slightly spicy with a hint of sweetness. My pet peeve is running out of sauce halfway through a meal, but thankfully they were generous and provided 2 large packets. I enjoyed the sauce so much that I would consider buying a bottle of it. For only $8 including tax I got about a dozen yummy dumplings with bangin sauce and I was full til dinnertime.
This is definitely more of a pickup/delivery place. The inside isn't much to look at and there's only two small tables available. But don't let that stop you! They offer free delivery with a $15 minimum. Or you could stop in for a pickup like I did, but be aware there's only like 1 spot available that isn't handicapped so you may have to park on the street.
Dumplings! Gyozas! Potstickers! Whatever you wanna call em, this place is worth trying out.
Just get the fried dumplings with their special sauce.
We accidentally ordered over 100 of these before because they didn't have something else we wanted on the menu. Office orders from them quite a bit and we're usually not disappointed. I've never been inside the place.
Very small dumpling place in neighborhood. I saw one table in the corner to seat and eat, but it's more like pick up and delivery place. They also have Korean menus as well other than dumplings. Fried beef dumplings, steamed shrimp dumplings are my favorite among their dumpling menu. I pick up few bags of frozen dumplings for home at times, they are $14-16 per bag (2.5lbs). And also they have their own dipping sauce( $2.50 per bottle).
Even though I like dumplings but doesn't make me to come here often because service isn't consistent, it doesn't matter you speak same language or not. Please don't expect warm welcome or nice service when you go there. Just look at the menu, order and go. Doesn't have flexibility or trying to accommodate customers for their orders. Just whatever written on the menu, no change or add on. Honestly many times I felt local supermarket cashers are friendly then them.
Their dumplings are good, maybe above the average. But not the best I've ever had. It's 3.5 stars for me.
I have experiences both with ordering from delivery and picking up. Ordering from delivery is kind-of a hit or miss BUT the food quality is way better than the standard quality of delivery. Just don't expect to figure out their exact delivery days/schedules anytime soon unless you're ordering exactly at noon.
Picking up from the location directly is probably a wiser choice. If you eat in the store, (not meant for ambience) they might give you a side of kimchi, daikon or whatever side they choose for free. Plus, the sauce that they give when you eat in the restaurant is way better than the one you get from delivery!
The prices are really reasonable, ranging around $5-6, depending on the flavor. My favorite dumplings are actually the veggie dumplings! I wasn't as impressed by the beef or kimchi ones, even though I usually dig both those things. Maybe that's because I get my dumplings steamed though. I did notice that the beef dumplings were slightly tastier fried, but I still prefer the steamed veggie dumplings.
So yeah, if I didn't make it clear enough….
1) Phone in and then pick-up your orders.
2) Get the sauce from in-store rather than the delivery sauce.
3) Make sure to try the veggie dumplings
*optional* buy a big frozen bag of dumplings for home: I forget the exact price but they're around $15 a bag.
