I ordered several dishes and dumplings with two kinds of fillings, and they were all super delicious! My favorite is the couple's lung slices, it tastes amazing! The dumplings stuffed with mutton are delicious and not surprising!

The female boss has an average service attitude and is very aggressive towards customers and staff. The dumplings are freshly made but the fillings are very salty and the price is relatively expensive.

I been coming here since 1997. This place is phenomenal. You need dumplings here. You get them fried and it's perfection! This place can get extremely busy but it's worth the wait. The service is harsh, they gonna rush you but the food is good. Don't take it personal. My son is a picky eater but he eats everything here.

This is for the Cupertino restaurant, which you can watch them make the dumplings as you eat. The food is probably what Americans would associate with Chinese street food. It is cooked fast in a wok over high heat. We had three orders of dumplings. We ordered them steamed which is more like boiled, but for dumplings its pretty good. You get a serving of 12 dumplings per order. We had pork w/cabbage, pork w/ chives, and chicken w/mushroom & cabbage. All were good. You can get the dumplings pan fried, but this means that after they get steamed, they toss them in a wok with oil to finish them. We just eat them steamed and cut out the oil. Besides the three plates of dumplings, we had three other entrees. A pan fried spinach, shan dong green beans, and baby bok choy. Everything is cooked in a wok with oil so it can be a little oily but it doesn't affect the taste to me. I thought most things were fine. I have tried the vegetarian dumpling before and would avoid it. The meat dumplings are good and the pork dumplings tend to be the juiciest. I would also make the dumplings the main course and use the other main entrees as side dishes. Its a dumpling shop after all. When dining here, you should take in a couple of things. #1 Only one person speaks fluent English and the fluency is really minor. This isn't the place to do special requests. #2 Since they are preparing raw food in the same room as the diners (though behind a plexiglass shield and at the back end), they may not want animals in the store for health reasons, service animals or not. #3 I would avoid dining here at lunch time during the week. The Apple campus is right across the street and probably creates a rush time situation M-F around lunch time.

The restaurant manager clipped his finger nails in front of customers between the front end kitchen/food preparation desk where you knead flour dough and wrapping dumplings and the dinning tables (I don't know how many nail trimmings flew everywhere) , and then right away he went to the front end kitchen/food preparation desk to knead the flour dough without washing his hands first. On and off he coughed loudly without masks on while wrapping the dumplings, and spat to the trash can beside the dinning table in front of customers. Two lady employees kept chatting while wrapping dumplings without masks on. The front end kitchen full of flour dough and dumpling fillings and that was what they did through my entire visit.

Great dumpling place.I got hooked on this place when I lived in the apartments that were right across from it. My mother took me here and I loved it. Tong Dumpling has a very large menu of dumplings as well as a good selection of non dumpling Chinese food. Their fried rice is my favorite I can't stop myself from ordering it at least once a month from DoorDash. Do be warned though, if you order online and order the 50 dumpling packs they are frozen as is standard with these types of restaurants. I also occasionally do door dash and this place is very popular in the Cupertino Village. They make the dumplings right in front of you as well which is very interesting to watch and very fresh as well.

Summary: Family style restaurant, good food, so so atmosphereOrdered pork dumplings, got cup of hot'n'sour soup + boiled peanuts!! The dumplings are a bit salty to my taste otherwise are great. Clean facilities.On negative side they don't care much about your dine in experience - the same front door is used for both customer entrance and moving goods/supplies in/out, running cargo carts between the tables, also I smelled strong tobacco smell. I understand that it's hard to run small business but logistics can be improved
My favorite Shan Dong home style good in bay area. Hand made dumpings are really good.

I ordered frozen dumplings off of ubereats. Typically when I order frozen products, the item is shipped overnight in a styrofoam box and packed with ice packs. I received dumplings from tong that were shipped in an old Home Depot box wrapped in bubble wrap with no method of cooling. I received warm raw meat that had been in transit for three days. Foul beyond belief. Refund was not offered by the restaurant nor ubereats.

My niece took us out to dinner tonight. “She calls me Uncle, ok”Anyway she has been telling me about this place serving traditional Chinese food “Northern” and about one particular dish that Chinese people eat that had eggs and tomatoes.When we walked in I saw a lady hand rolling dumplings and another filling them. During the evening while we ate I noticed that then never stopped making all kinds of fresh dumplings and pancakes etc. etc.I had my “ niece“ order for us as she speaks fluent Chinese “I mean she was born and raised there lol” she ordered us shrimp and chive, mushroom and chicken, and beef dumplings along with the traditional egg and tomato plate.The Dumplings were all super juicy and delicious “my personal favorite was the beef fried dumplings” but the surprise of the night had to be a traditional tomato and egg omelette dish. It had a ton of tomatoes, my first thought was all I’m gonna taste is tomatoes, the crazy thing was it tasted nothing like tomatoes at all! It was so incredibly good. Just that dish in itself is reason enough to come back “not to mention the dumplings and other really good looking food on the menu.Bottom line…. Sometimes it pays to be adventurous.
