It was our first visit to this restaurant and we took relatives there from Gloucester. We ordered a substantial meal each and I was the only one who could say that I enjoyed he food. My wife was so disappointed she had some of mine. Hers wasVeg Spring Rolls plus a salad. The salad was swimming in vinegar and the rolls were warm. I had rice & bacon hotpot and again it was warm I requested it be geated up and it was. Our relatives both had Chicken Ckow Mein and it was a big meal but cold. We sent it back and they heated it up. The taste was average after that. We also ordered two fries and they were the only hot meal. The drinks were overpriced too. The staff were great and very obliging, but for £82 + it was not worth a second visit.

Me and my wife went there to have our anniversary dinner and the staff at Dumpling Tree made it so special—a bouquet of flowers with drinks. We loved the guster shown. The food was also good with good portion size. Overall we had a wonderful experience and would love to revisit.
