The food was fast, clean, and very flavourful. We will be back soon. The restaurant would probably benefit from some ambient music as it was silent when I was there.

I visited this place 3 times. The first time when it first opened years ago. The second time last year and the third not too long ago .But my last visits are my favorite visits ? ?.I love the sweet corn dumplings. I love the cucumbers salad. The sauce that is in the cucumber Salad I use as a dipping sauce for my dumplings.The green onion pancake, though? Can I get three orders of that, please? Lol super simple yet very delicious.I tried their soup for the first time.The beef noodle I love the broth, flavorful but not salty at all. Just right.The service is always attentive and kind.I am looking forward to trying the chicken soup and more dumplings for my next visit ?

I go to New Dumpling every single weekend without fail, and I look forward to my meal there throughout the entire week.Dumplings could not be fresher and more delicious. Service is kind and efficient. Decor is restrained and relaxing. This is the perfect quick lunch spot and one of my favourite restaurants in the Bay.Order the chive pockets and shrimp/chive dumplings.

Fresh, simple and delicious. Nothing fancy here, just pure flavor. The wonton soup was a revwlation. Sat at a tiny table near the kitchen and could watch them hand rolling dumplings with freshly made dough.

My loved one and I share a passion for dumplings, often exploring different spots for our dumpling fix. This place stands out with its extensive variety of dumpling choices, offering a diverse range of flavors to satisfy any craving. While I'm not a huge dumpling enthusiast myself, I found them quite tasty. The only minor quibble is that the dumpling skin is a bit thick for my liking, but my loved one absolutely adores it. It's a reminder that people have different tastes, and despite my preference for thinner skin, the overall experience is still a delightful one. If you're a dumpling lover, this place is definitely worth checking out for its flavorful assortment!

Love the vegetarian ones here. They have a special spicy sauce I always ask for and it makes the order perfection. I like the scallion pancakes too.

Very solid. I decided to try this because it's a little off the beaten path for me, and it's featured in the Michelin Guide as a Bib Gourmand restaurant. I ordered the vegetable dumplings, and the zucchini and shrimp dumplings. I also ordered the peanut and celery salad. The dumplings were piping hot, with a perfect thickness, and perfectly cooked meat & vegetables. The celery salad arrived, warm, and was unexpectedly good. I'd love to come back here with a bigger group and try some of it more unique dumplings like egg and tomato. My only complaint is that the minimum order size for dumplings is 14, so I ended up taking home a lot of leftovers. I'll be back though!

I recently had the pleasure of trying the restaurant new dumplings, and I must say, they were nothing short of extraordinary. These dumplings have quickly become a standout addition to their menu, and I can't stop raving about them.First and foremost, the dumplings were a testament to the art of culinary craftsmanship. Their delicate, hand-rolled wrappers were thin, yet sturdy enough to hold the flavorful filling within. It was evident that these dumplings were crafted with care and expertise, a true labor of love.The filling itself was a revelation. Each bite was a burst of delightful flavors and textures. The blend of savory ingredients, from tender meat or vegetables to aromatic herbs and spices, was an exquisite amalgamation of tastes that delighted the palate. It was a harmonious balance, and I could taste the freshness of each ingredient in every bite.What truly sets these new dumplings apart is their innovative approach to flavors. The restaurant's culinary team has taken classic dumpling recipes and elevated them to new heights with unique and unexpected combinations. The fusion of traditional and contemporary elements resulted in a mouthwatering experience that was both comforting and exciting.

Our go-to place for takeout dumplings (for frozen dumplings it's Shan Dong in Oakland Chinatown). These dumplings are satisfying, light, and delicious. Our favorites are the pork, shrimp and chives and the pork and green pepper. Each order comes with about 10 dumplings. They have a limited menu outside of the dumplings, such as appetizers and side dishes.

The beef noodle soup hit all five taste centers. I will get beef noodle soup every time I come back. Chicken and corn dumplings were awesome too. Thanks for the great meal!

Came here for a spontaneous lunch. The reviews were solid so decided to check it out.I got the shrimp + pork chives dumplings and it comes with 14 pieces to the order. I thought the portion was solid and the dumpling skins were just the right amount of chewy. Plain and simple, not too heavy. Near perfect dumplings.The service was also super quick!

I found out this place was Michelin Bib Gourmand and wanted to try it out since I live so close by! For the prices, I think you get a generous amount of food, especially for the dumplings. The service was also very quick for a weekday lunchtime. My favorites were the green chive with pork and shrimp dumplings ($12.99) -- they had flavorful filling and a nice thickness in the wrapper. The chive pockets ($7.99) were slightly oily, but still tasty. I would probably pass on the beef noodle soup ($14.99) next time because it was oily and lacking in flavor. The beef also felt like it had more bone than meat. I would definitely come back for the dumplings and other sides though!
