With my lunch meeting free Tuesday, my colleagues and I were free to venture out for lunch. Unfortunately, I couldn't decide on a new restaurant close by and not too pricy. As a safe choice, we decided on going to Northern Dumpling restaurant at Time Square plaza on Hwy 7. If you couldn't tell, northern parts of China are very popular with dumpling style dishes.  I have been here many times and the experiences have mostly been positive.

Regarding the food, I think it's pretty good. Safe choices are any of the dumpling style dishes. On this visit, we didn't get the fried shrimps (which you can eat whole). The soup dumplings are amazing and can't find a better place than this for it.

Food: 4.5/5

Price: $4 and up depending on the dishes

Service: 4/5 - fast service, can finish lunch within 1 hour
