Review of Hidden Dumpling House

I was so excited to have chinese food again! I called in to ask about preparation practices but wasn't able to get clear info because of a language barrier and it being loud/ busy. If you are going to call to vet them I recommend calling at off hours when they will be less busy. I decided to take the risk and order anyway based off good reviews here. I'm really glad I did because the food was amazing! My takeout order came with little stickers that said "gluten allergen" taped to the boxes which made me feel reassured and I didn't feel any symptoms after eating it. I got the pineapple seafood fried rice, shrimp rice noodles, hot and sour soup and egg flower soup. Everything was good, the hot and sour soup was the best!

I will say they don't have many veggie protein options and the tofu might not be safe because of the shared fryer. Also, the pineapple seafood fried rice comes with both shrimp and chicken. I don't normally eat chicken but didn't realize since it wasn't listed on the gf menu, it's listed on the regular menu though. Not a big deal for me but might be for someone else.

EDIT: Visited again for the third time and they updated the main menu which is now marked for gluten free options, you still need to double check as some of the stuff might be made in the shared fryer. I was excited to find that the mapo tofu is an option as it is not fried so I got that and it was so good! I did also get the chicken cilantro gf dumplings which weren't listed on the menu but I saw them on fb. I thought they were decent and though the flavor wasn't my favorite I would get them again since gf dumplings are a rare find. I hope they make a veggie one at some point!
