I can’t believe we paid $60 and did not even get a plate! I really recommend BYOP (bring your own plate)! Way too expensive and the food was mediocre at best. I am sorry but that was $60 which is a lot for a quick light lunch without a plate

found myself in downtown Davis and feeling a bit peckish so looking for a quick bite. There is a ton load of eateries to choose from all within a stone's throw from each other. So many choices. I landed at the Dumpling House. Me and this pls e go back a long way, all the way to when they first opened in 2010.
Not only do they have home made dumplings, they also have other menu items such as Asian: noodles, vegetable dishes, popcorn chicken, green onion pancakes, AND fish n chips with the customary sides. Lots of options. The business was a fish n chips shop before the current owners took ownership in 2010. Cool that they kept those items on the menu.
Even with the varied menu options, for me the main attraction is the dumplings. Pan fried, deep fried, or steamed. Variety of fillings. My fave is the steamed pork n chives. The density and the texture of the filling is spot on. The flavor is good. The green onion pancakes are also a fave of mine.
Orders are taken at the register in the building. Sit anywhere and they'll bring your food to you.There is indoor and outdoor seating. The interior is not particularly large. And the outdoor seating is picnic table style. It's a no frills kinda place.

The Dumpling House is so tasty. I never been here before and just saw it passing by. It’s so cute. We ordered and within 10 minutes our food was already coming out. The serving size is huge! We ordered the fish and chips, Pork and chives pot stickers, general Tso chicken, and Thai tea. It was so much food and we had plenty of left overs. I will be definitely coming back.

Out of all the dumpling shops popping up all over, the Dumpling House still trumps most. Their dumplings are much bigger than most and usually has more piece for a same or cheaper price. The flavors of the dumplings are very good. You can choose steamed, pan fried, deep fried or in broth (extra $2). They also have other items to make it a complete meal such as stir fried vegetable dishes, noodle and rice plates, also fish and chips.
They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Once you place your order, just sit down and they somehow will find you where ever you are sitting. Food comes out pretty fast. They have a water station near where you order your food where you can get your own water. If you are sharing and need plates, you can asked them for cardboard trays. Ambiance is chill. It’s a nice place for a small group to eat good food and chit chat.

The dumplings were really good, fresh, tasty and a big portion too. The atmosphere is more like a fast-food, you eat and leave, but the outside area is very nice.

Super tasty! The Eggplant and Tofu dish was amazing, melt in your mouth perfection. The chicken dumplings was delicious as well, perfect taste for dumplings. The staff is friendly as well and answer any questions you may have.

A former Fish & Chips restaurant that turned into a dumpling restaurant, and for the price, the dumplings can't be best.
Recommend their chicken (which comes with corn) or their pork and chives dumplings ($13 for 12). What makes them unique is that the dumpling skin is a little thicker, so they taste delicious fried.
They still have fish and chips, which is surprisingly good. The fish is lightly battered and less fried than the typical fish and chips, so it tastes a little different, but healthier.
Only downsides is that they serve all the food in takeout containers (even when you're dining in) and their outdoor tables are all plastic picnic tables

I’ve been going here for four years since it reopened from the fire. It’s one of my favorite spots to bring people for reasonably priced food. It’s very good to-go as well. I have noticed the quality slightly decline over the years. But there’s lots of seating and the people are very nice. I always get the pork and vegetable dumplings and some veggie spring rolls.

not sure what's better, the veggie potstickers or the irreplaceable memories I've had here
The dumplings were okay. I remembered them tasting really good, but it was ages ago and before COVID since my last visit. I ordered the pork and chive pan fried dumplings and the flavor was okay. These would probably taste better if deep fried. This visit was just okay for me even though I was hyping myself up for this.

As a local this has always been a great place to go while downtown, it's a specific thing but the dipping sauce is easily the best in the city. And if I could recommend one thing it would be the pork and chive dumplings done as pot stickers.

hello. it’s me. so this resturqnt SUCKED. immediately when we entered the building, the vibes were off. there were barely any decorations on the wall, the furniture was bare, in one of the rooms there were just things scattered. now, we went to this restaurant with the precognition of it being REALLY REALLY good. but it wasn’t. if anybody says that this place was good, don’t trust them. now the food itself. theb service was teriible where it took awhile for it to come it also was just server in some random plastic containers rather than actual plates. there weren’t that many people either but the food was all basic and bad. if you’re looking for chinesse food with red white and blue plastered all over it, go ahead and die from this. i’m leaving.

The restaurant was a bit stuffy. The fish and chips tasted like fish and went the best. They were okay, but not good enough to go back. For half of their menu to sell fish I would expect better sauce than from an individual squeeze packet. They are good about prices. The price point is very reasonable and the portion size was big. I ordered the 3 peices fish and chips

Amazing dumplings. Especially but not limited to the Kimchi dumplings. Steamed or pan fried (my favorite way) or deep fried! So good. And big portions too. My 6th or 7th time here
