About lao tian dumpling house

Located at 1115 Emerson St, Evanston, IL 60201, lao tian dumpling house operates as a chinese restaurant serving Evanston in Illinois. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.

In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Evanston; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in Illinois are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. The most common schedule is 11 am–9:30 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach lao tian dumpling house at (224) 491-1849; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. More information is available on its website, laotiandumplings.com.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 220 reviews, which is a strong result for a chinese restaurant in Evanston and suggests consistent service.

Fantastic dumplings, really nice staff. Very cozy inside which eating by myself felt not so by myself (a nice feeling). I got the pork and cabbage dumplings and they were a really nice size-individually and as a whole plate for dinner. Looking forward to going back!

Very nice dumplings. It's probably perfectly targeted for university students, the price point is good, and you get a really descent meal. Everything was well executed.

A fun little spot for delicious dumplings! You can order online for carryout, and there’s a kiosk to order inside as well. It’s quite small with only one table and some bar seating, but we still enjoyed sitting to escape the cold and chow on some fresh dumplings. We got the xiao long bao (soup dumplings), shrimp shumai, pork, shrimp, and chive dumplings, and the Szechuan wontons. We chose to get the pork, shrimp, and chive dumplings pan-fried, which is two dollars extra. The xiao long bao were filled with hot, soothing soup, the shumai were the perfect consistency, the pan-fried dumplings were nice and crispy, and the wontons tasted homemade and tossed in sweet, tangy sauce. The prices were fairly reasonable for the 12-piece orders, and we were left very satisfied. I’ll definitely be returning whenever my dumpling craving emerges!

If you love authentic and good northern China dumplings, this is a must go place. I love it and recommend it to everyone. If you order zucchini dumplings, order the fried ones. They crispy at bottom and tender on top and juicy inside. Pork soured cabbage is one of my favorites, they are so good and easy to digest. Try it and you will love it! Btw, not huge restaurant, not a lot of seats. Take out could be a choice but make sure not eat cold

Came to Dumpling House to see what it was about. On the plus side, they have a huge menu with tons of different kinds of dumplings, which is great. I also saw things like Peking Duck and bao, so there's a lot to choose from. Ordering is done on a kiosk, which is fine, but it makes the experience feel a bit impersonal. The place itself is pretty basic. White brick walls, counter seating, and a slushie machine give it a very casual feel. It feels more like a takeout spot where you can also sit down. The food was perfectly fine, but not particularly memorable. It's a reliable option if you need a quick dumpling fix in Evanston, but it didn't blow me away. Good for what it is, but probably not a place I'd go out of my way for.
