Dumpling Bowl & Bubblicity Tea Shop

Located in the heart of the Chinatown, I really liked the service of the restaurant, the dumplings were very delicious, very good presentation, the place was small but cozy, it was worth visiting the place. The girl who serves is super friendly and has very nice music.

The dumplings were good. I think I would have preferred the dumplings fried, so I plan to try that next time! The soups looked super yummy and I will have to stop by again to try those as well!

I wouldn't recommend this restaurant. The food didn't meet our expectations. The service was friendly and fast.

We ordered the pork combo. 25 dumplings, 5 each of 5 different pork dumplings. When they came to the table they were served in a pile. No way to know which dumpling is which.

The dumplings didn't really have much flavor. They were fresh and hot but I wouldn't come back for more.

I would recommend not to go to this restaurant. The enviroment is dirty. We got Ottawa in July. When we was eating there, there was a fly dancing there. We ate some dumplings there. Both my husband and my son started diarrhoea the next day. My husband ate too much of one type of dumplings. He was sick seriously. He had fever and bad diarrhoea for 4 days. I bet the restaurant didn't serve fresh meat to us. They ruined the travel experience we had in Ottawa.

The food was absolutely DELICIOUS! I will definitely be back! Dine in, take out, whichever I feel.

Kid friendly location with kind staff. Great bubble tea and beef noodle was a good size for the two kids to share.

Incredibly small restaurant and it seems like it’s catered for more take out. There isn’t much special or unique about the food, I feel like you can make more quality and tastier dumplings at home or bought frozen.

It’s also very disappointing that you can’t mix dumplings, instead you have to buy 15 at a time. The in-house sauce advertised in the menu is just soy sauce and black vinegar placed at every table.

Amazing little hole in the wall for authentic dumplings and the like!
Will definitely be returning.

The price is very expensive, the quantity is very small, the dumplings are too small, and more importantly, the dumplings are frozen and overcooked. The taste is not good. Too bad, really, I strongly don't recommend going. 3 people spent nearly 70 Canadian dollars, not full. A family of 3.

I love their pork and chive dumplings. I think they are some of the best I have ever had. However, they could do better on other things like the almost flavorless broth in the wonton soup. Maybe also using less single use paper products and having a spruced up atmosphere. Still, if you are going for dumplings these are some of the city's best. Recently returned and wonton soup is still very bland but pork and chive dumplings are still great!

Friendly service. Really tasty Pan-Fried wontons. The pearls in the bubble tea were really good too. A lot of places have hard boba but it was nice and soft here! Would recommend for a quick meal/snack

We loved the vegetable dumplings! The black fungus in the filling was a nice touch. The dumplings were tender and flavorful.

Best dumplings in the city. Juicy, flavorful and fresh. It's not worth going anywhere else!
I also hope they return their banana sherbert their peach bubble tea. It has been a few years since they had this but it was the best way to top off my meal! I hope they reconsider!

Wow. The lockdowns hit this place hard.
This was me and my husband's usual haunt for our regular date nights before the pandemic hit, and now it's so sad.
The dumplings used to be tender, and now they're quite hard. I used to get the Shanghai wonton soup, but it's not available; they made an "exception, " and made it for me. The Shanghai dumplings were pretty good but the previous delicious rich broth seemed as if it was the boiled dumpling water with a whisper of a chicken broth. Broke my heart.
We dined in. Everything was also served on paper plates and Styrofoam cups and bowls. Truly a travesty to its once former modest but good quality past.
Price did not reflect the quality and service we received.
(Although, the waitress was efficient.)

I hope it bounces back

Their “pork wontons in spicy sauce” are delicious! I’ve ordered them twice in the past 3 days. Great taste and 16 pieces is so filling.

Things have changed since I have been there before the pandemic. The dumpling fillings were packed like a little marble so they were hard balls. The boiled dumpling skins were fine but our fried dumplings came ourlt looking like they were stir-fried as most of them were broken with their skins torn. Most unfortunate. I wish I had taken photos. I hope it turns around because it was good 3 years ago.
