Great food matched with very attentive and friendly service. We've tried a number of dishes and some of the more "Americanized" dishes and they are all amazing. Highly recommend their garlic green beans, so good. Pan Fried Onion Cakes are awesome. And they actually give you chili sauce with your meal! So good!

Tucked away from the noise of the city, Potsticker House feels like a hidden gem. The atmosphere is intimate and serene, dim lighting, warm wooden accents, and the gentle hum of quiet conversation make it the perfect escape after a long, busy day. The service was prompt and unobtrusive, giving us the space to relax and unwind. We started with the Shanghai-style pork soup dumplings, which arrived steaming in a bamboo basket. Each dumpling was delicate and pleated like a small work of art. The moment you bite in, you're rewarded with a burst of hot, savory broth, rich and comforting, like a slow-simmered stock with hints of ginger and scallion. The pork filling inside was tender and well-seasoned, with a perfect balance of salt and umami. We had to pace ourselves, or we would've devoured the whole basket in seconds. Next came the Shanghai-style stir-fried noodles with mushrooms, bok choy, and pork. The noodles had a satisfying chew, coated in a deeply flavorful sauce that clung to each strand. The mushrooms were earthy and juicy, soaking up all the savory goodness, while the bok choy added a fresh, crisp bite that balanced the dish. The slices of pork were thin, tender, and infused with that signature wok-charred aroma. Each dish felt crafted with care, nothing overdone, nothing artificial. Just honest, soulful food. This isn’t your usual takeout-style Chinese spot. Potsticker House feels like being invited to someone’s home for a comforting, homemade meal. I’ll absolutely be back and next time, I’m bringing friends.

Nice place. They started out with, I think, a hot and sour soup. Then I got the house special potsticker and lamb cummin flavor. Wait staff was attentive but not pushy. Great experience.

I've always wanted to come here to find very specific Chinese dishes that I've seen on Instagram but never got a chance to try. They were on point on service for how late we showed up and everything came out the way I had imagined. The jellyfish salad here actually has vinegar in it for the tangy flavor that other places fail at. I would definitely come back to try the rest of the menu.

Authentic northern Chinese food, amazing service, and a nice hassle free parking lot makes this my go-to spot in Bridgeport when I'm craving fresh soy milk with you-tiao for brunch, or a classic pork belly and bean thread noodle casserole!

This Chinese restaurant tastes great. It should be the best Chinese food I have ever eaten in the United States. The price is also very cheap. The service is very warm. I will always come back. Highly recommended.

Walked in looking for a local dinner spot tonight. We ordered the green beans garlic, duck, dumplings and the pancake. Pleasantly surprised! I have a hard time finding good veggie options that taste fresh and flavorful. We live by Chinatown and I think this may be my new go to. Duck was good! Great service.

My friend brought me here for dinner for the first time and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Everything was delicious, I especially loved the dried tofu with chili dish and friend loved the soup dumplings. Service was quick and attentive, empty dishes were removed from our table right away. 10/10 experience would definitely come back again.
