If you’re craving an unforgettable culinary adventure, look no further than Doughboy Dumplings—a hidden gem that turns traditional dumpling fare into a festival of exotic flavors. From the moment you step inside, the aroma alone promises a meal that transcends the ordinary.
The menu is a playground for the adventurous palate, offering unexpected combinations and globally inspired twists that somehow feel both daring and deeply comforting. Every dumpling is a tiny, handcrafted masterpiece—flaky, tender, and packed with bold, well-balanced fillings that make each bite a discovery.
But the true revelation? The Spicy Pork Noodle soup. This dish is nothing short of spectacular. The noodles are silky and springy, perfectly absorbing the rich, fiery broth. The pork is deeply savory with a slow-building heat that lingers in the best way—spiced just enough to wake your senses without overpowering the dish. Each mouthful delivers complexity: umami, a hint of sweetness, and a chili kick that dances rather than scorches.
Doughboy Dumplings isn’t just serving food; they’re curating an experience. For anyone seeking bold, exotic tastes and a fresh take on comfort cuisine, this spot is a must-visit. One bowl of those spicy pork noodles, and you’ll be hooked. I can’t wait to go back, I’m already craving for more.

Doughboys is honestly the best little restaurant Phenix city has to offer!
Their banana dumplings are simply to die for.
Everything on their menu is delicious. But their Yipin spicy handmade noodles w/ dumplings is absolutely mouth watering.
Not only is the food great, but the staff is as well. 💗💗💗💗

Excellent food. Fresh and authentic. We got the teriyaki chicken and spicy noodle dumplings dish (with peanut butter). Teriyaki was good and chicken was tasty along with fried rice! Soup was hot and the broth was delicious on its own. Noodles weren’t chewy or overcooked. Dumplings were also cooked just right.
Our waitress was also super nice and loved service throughout the entire experience, would recommend wholeheartedly!
Food was very good but the portions are very small. Unfortunately I will not be ordering again. When I picked up the food she seemed busy which I understand because im sure it's dinner rush but I wasn't greeted. If the portions were bigger I would order again. I ordered shrimp teriyaki, chicken teriyaki, Shui Jiao, large fried rice pan fried dumplings and asian stir beef and broccoli. It was all very flavorful but not filling.

This place is a hidden gem! So good, great service, and a clean establishment.
I’m so glad I read the reviews for this place, it was fantastic. We had dumplings (duh), egg rolls, noodle soup and Mala’s chicken. Everything was great and we ordered some dumplings to go. They’re made fresh and you can tell. I wish I had remembered to get the banana dumplings…next time. We live about 45 minutes away but we’ll be back!

Ordered to go. Doesn't matter what it looks like from the outside. This place inside is super clean and the service was amazing. The cashier recommended the #2 and #4. I ordered both for me and my wife and it was the best dumplings and soup I have had even my wife was skeptical because she has never had a dumpling, she loved it! Truly amazing food. Give it a try! Promise you won't regret.
