I've had the same dishes at other restaurants in Chinatown and throughout the city that weren't slicked with oil. My comments don't come from a health standpoint, it's more of a note that I found the food to be overly greasy on my visit.The Small Boston Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11068604673389902901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134825154408998925.post-32906874164566411672012-03-15T10:22:34.730-04:002012-03-15T10:22:34.730-04:00In a way, calling cheap, hole in the wall dumpling...In a way, calling cheap, hole in the wall dumplings and the like greasy seems a bit obvious. I mean, I frequent places like this not to eat kale and miso braised steamed dumplings or something like that with the cultivated aura of health/flavor/quality. It's kind of like if you go to Roxy's Grilled Cheese truck and say the food was great (it is) but it was too greasy. You might be looking in the wrong places, I mean. But I guess to each their own?Lindseyhttp://madebyfrances.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134825154408998925.post-50900567043026610432012-03-14T17:29:17.696-04:002012-03-14T17:29:17.696-04:00I have been going to the dumpling house religiousl...I have been going to the dumpling house religiously since 2005. This is one of the few Boston restaurants that I crave for any time or day of the week. <br /><br />I have always had superb service and great food at this restaurant. All of the food is freshly made and promptly served. I have never experienced the greasiness of the dishes the author describes here. I frequently order the mini juicy dumplings which have never come out greasy. I noticed the other dumplings in the pictures seemed to be fried which would explain the greasiness.<br /><br />One of my favorite dishes here is the sauteed spinach which is cooked perfectly with a clean and crisp taste. I also enjoy the veggie fried rice which is another traditionally greasy dish but I have never experienced the overwhelming effect the author describes in the article.<br /><br />I would not limit this to a restaurant to soak up alcohol after bar hopping in Downtown Boston. They have a huge menu with great tasting food. I'm going to go tonight.Dumplovernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134825154408998925.post-55955194394894536422012-03-14T16:02:02.157-04:002012-03-14T16:02:02.157-04:00there's only one dish worth waiting for at Go...there's only one dish worth waiting for at Gouremt dumpling house and that's the Sichuan Fish slice soup.
