Northern Dumpling Kitchen 興隆軒

Simple place with great dumplings. Both steamed and pan fried dumplings were really good. The only disappointment was that the chives egg shrimp dumpling barely had any shrimp, so don't get that one.

Pretty good mapo tofu, fish and soup dumplings! Would definitely come back for the Szechuan fish

The waiter is one of those who treats non Chinese speakers friendly and treats Chinese like enemies. Disgusting. For ppl who don't know Chinese, if you see someone treat everyone nicely but their own ppl, I hear they judge those non Chinese speakers' appearance behind, in Chinese. These self-hate ppl really make me sick. I couldn't understand, so I had to crush her with fluent English. It was really disrespected, and there was a 15% tip for this. Some Hong Kong people here have a particularly distorted mentality and really want to avoid lightning.

We love the dumplings at this restaurant! We always get the soup filled dumplings, as well as this plate of pancake and pork pictured below. Forgot to grab pics of the rest (ate too fast), but the sweetest lady works here. We’ve been eating here for over a decade and their food is very consistent and hits the spot every time.

Dumplings 7/10, dishes 6/10 (super small portions), on the expensive side for sure but I guess for that location there’s no choice but to ………

We were a party of four. First table of the morning. Only one other table came in while we were there. They weren’t busy. Ordered a slew of dishes that were meh okay. Lots of loud clinking and clanking putting away cutlery, banging down dishes we ordered on our table. Discovered it was cash only which, luckily, we had. Waited for change and she told us it was for tip. Never going back.

Food tastes good but the server's rudeness will ruin your appetite. She was nice with people from her community only?

Siu long baos were pretty good.the fried cabbage and pork dumplings were super tasty and delish, my family really enjoyed it - only complaint was the dough was very chewy and thick but it wouldn’t stop me from returning for more

Dumplings were good, ordered the soup and the pan fried with noodles and lamb skewers. Prices are fair. Does not take visa, debit and cash only. They give you a pot of tea with your meal. Service was a bit slow even though the restaurant was empty but overall would recommend for dumplings and a quiet night. Casual dining and lowkey.

Food is tasty but the lamb portion is a little less for the price. The owner is pretty friendly and they implement good COVID protocol. Seating is comfortable and not overly crowded.

The food is very good.my friend brought me here to eat northern food. I have never eaten that kind of delicious northern food.

They finally renovated the restaurant, it’s more comfortable and clean environment than before! Service was definitely improved, the owner (?) checked on us consistently to make sure everything goes well and the lady kindly welcomed us to be seated.
-Wonton&HotSauce: average
-Soup Filled Dumplings: average
-Sweet&Sour Pork: average (pork was fresh and tender, but the flour batter was little hard to chew)
-Leek&Pork Dumplings: great highly recommend (well balanced)
-Onion pancakes: average
Overall, the food quality and price was okay!

They have absolutely delicious food here. Every bite is incredibly flavourful! We ordered hot & sour soup, coriander pork, dumplings and eggplant- everything was amazing! The restaurant was very clean and the staff were very helpful. I am definitely going back!

Nasty owner - nasty food.

Been going here for 10 years+ and this place has slowly but surely gone down hill. On multiple ocassions I have found hair in my food and sent it back. Even one time we found crusty old fried bits of what turned out to be fish/seafood in our sauteed green beans.

The tipping point was seeing their kitchen staff emerge from the washroom without washing their hands after having come in from smoking a cigarette.

Nasty.

Have ordered from this restaurant at least 10-15 times. Previously being forced for leaving 15% tip on takeout i decided to help restaurant since food was decent and i know they are going through tough times. Today went in ordered 2 meals and was charged 15.99 when on door and menu listed 13.99. Enquired and was told "price of forks from China went up" Really by $2 a fork? Never ordering from here. Plenty of competition in Markham for Chinese food. Someone takes me for a fool and they think this will fly by. No wonder rrstaurant is empty when other ones are packed. Its a matter of principle. Hope her $2 can pay her future bills! When we went back she gave us $1 back. Really? Want to make it better throw in $2.30 with the tax or free apetiser and i may think about it. I feel insulted. Clearly someone has no class!

Disappointed
Food are getting worse and worse
Wrong order.
Order non spicy noodle, double confirm when ordering. Brought a spicy noodle, different than what I order. Brought back to kitchen, swap the soup and brought it back out. Which still can see the chilly pepper.

Tried restaurant for the first time. Braised beef noodle soup was very salty. Dumplings were very small. Tasted ok.nothing to write home about. Over priced.
