Loved these dumplings! I appreciate that they were so convenient to make on a weeknight....added them to ramen and they were delightful. We're eating primarily vegetarian right now but I would try the ginger chicken next time. A hit in our house, for sure.

We tried the Livin’ on the Vedge Dumplings as they are vegan and fits our lifestyle. I thought these were very good. A tad to spicy for hubby but I really enjoyed them. I followed the directions to boil them but 2 of them all the stuffing came out in the pot which was a bummer but overall I really thought they were tasty and would buy them again

I absolutely love these dumplings! I made chicken and dumpling meal and my family loved them, too, and want more! My kids want me to buy them weekly!

I loved that they had a vegetarian option because I feel like most frozen dumpling brands don't. These were tasty but kind of simple - mostly cabbage, mushrooms and bok choy. The bag is kind of small and only gives about three servings. I would buy these again for weeknights when you are too tired to cook.

I enjoyed the veggie dumplings overall but had a hard time getting them cooked to the correct texture - I tried frying on the stove and they got too crispy and then I tried the air fryer and they weren't crispy enough! Overall the flavor was there though.
