Confidence
The domain is 1,615 days old (~4.4 years), which aligns with a mature food-delivery operation rather than a fly-by-night scheme. Our antivirus network and browser blocklists show no malicious flags. The site is actively listed on three major Canadian food-delivery platforms (Uber Eats, DoorDash, SkipTheDishes) with high ratings (9.7 on SkipTheDishes) and positive customer reviews describing the food as 'amazing' and 'truly delicious'. Business registration data confirms the operator is active in Alberta and British Columbia, associated with physical Tender Lovin' Chicken locations that serve the Dumpling Factory menu as a virtual brand. No scam reports, fraud complaints, or negative reviews appear in any search results. The SSL certificate is valid, the hosting IP has zero abuse reports, and the domain registration is transparent (not privacy-protected).

Page Content

The site presents a functional food-ordering interface for a Canadian ghost kitchen specializing in dumplings, spring rolls, and appetizers. Menu items include Wagyu beef dumplings, customizable 'Big Dumps' and 'Little Dumps' with multiple sauce options, and halloumi fries. The page includes social links (10 total) and references to delivery platforms. No login form, countdown timer, or push-notification spam detected.

Infrastructure

Hosted on IP 172.67.167.157 with zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services is valid with 54 days remaining. The domain uses a standard .ca registrar (Rebel.ca Corp.) with transparent WHOIS data. No redirects, homoglyphs, or internationalized domain names detected.

Domain History

Registered 1,615 days ago (~4.4 years), placing it well into the mature-business range. This age is consistent with an established food-delivery brand that has expanded across multiple Canadian provinces and partnered with physical restaurant locations.

Web Reputation

Zero detections across our antivirus network (0/92 engines) and browser blocklists. Independent review aggregators returned no data, but direct searches of food-delivery platforms and social media uncovered three positive customer reviews on Uber Eats, Facebook, and SkipTheDishes. Business registration confirmed active in Canada with trademark filings for 'DUMPLING FACTORY'. No scam reports, complaints, or fraud allegations found in any search.

Risk Factors
2
  • No direct contact email, phone number, or postal address listed on the website — typical for ghost kitchens that operate exclusively through third-party delivery platforms.
  • Page does not appear in global traffic rankings, consistent with a niche food-delivery brand that drives orders through Uber Eats, DoorDash, and SkipTheDishes rather than direct web traffic.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on dumplingfactory.ca and not a lookalike like d-umplingfactory.ca.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.
