Love bringing family here! There's many options on the menu, and so far all the dishes we've tried are delicious. We always end up ordering a lot of food so we can have leftovers. Staff are friendly and efficient.

The food here is good and very affordable compared to other restaurants. Service was good and fast. Atmosphere was very nice. Dumplings, potstickers, and drunk chicken were 10/10. Eggplant (in pork sauce?) and three pot chicken were good but very oily.All that for $65… in this economy that’s a steal. 10/10 would recommend.

The only thing is it gets really busy and the wait is long.Otherwise the food is great. Love the beef vermicelli soup. Soy sauce based but not oily and good tasting.Beef strip fried rice are my kids go to. We like the boa, both pork and with shrimp.Also got their old skin tender tofu. The only thing I thought so so is their spicy water cooked beef; probably reserve that for si chuan restaurant since this is a Taiwanese restaurant.

I rarely go to this side of the bay area, but since I was already here running errands, I decided to check out the new Costco. This place was fairly close by, and I'm always on the lookout for some good soup dumplings.My favorite place is a specific spot in NY (No, not Joe's Shanghai. But they are pretty good) and I've been scouring the bay area trying to find someplace comparable in flavor and amount of soup at a similarly affordable price. The wrapper of the soup dumplings has the texture of a really good homemade wrapper but it's still delicate and structurally sound. Whereas Dumpling Home in SF is charging x3 the price for a undeniably high quality soup dumpling, I would definitely choose this place over those prices every time.The food also comes out quick, I ordered 8 dishes and the food was already starting to arrive within 10 minutes, albeit the first to arrive was preprepped dishes like the cold spicy tripe and the hot and sour soup, very efficient. Pea sprouts followed shortly after, as well as the salted egg tofu, and the clay pot beef with king oyster mushrooms. The steamed food came last, as expected since steaming takes time, which included the crab and pork soup buns, and the loofah and shrimp. The loofah and shrimp surprisingly has no pork base inside, its just chopped up loofah and shrimp, so its pescatarian friendly, and despite being a big lover of meats, I found it to be surprisingly delicious. The shiu mai is made with a traditional homemade mixture that reminds me of the dumplings/stuffed eggplants and peppers that my grandma used to have us help make.Summary, food is delicious, price is great.TLDR: This place is great, it's affordable, and for the price, you get really good quality and delicious food.

I’ve been eating here ever since it opened. Their food is way better than Din Tai Fung. It’s more reasonable.

Restaurant specializes in dumplings. People are going to want a comparison to din tai fung, so what I'll say is it has a thicker chewier wrapper with a more meaty filling. In my opinion this place has better value.Juicy pork dumplings ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: chewy wrapper with a meaty interior. I wish it was slightly more juicy.Juicy dumplings w/ loofah shrimp ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: shrimp was really tender, and the loofah paired well.Steamed shrimp dumplings ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: thicker wrapper compared to the soup dumplings. Filling has a lot of flavor with herbs like cilantro. I wish the shrimp would shine a bit more.Sautéed cabbages sakura shrimps ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: not too oily and reminds me of home cooking.Sweet Chinese bun condensed milk ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: very similar to the sweet buns at dim sum places.House special taro rice noodle ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: basically a hot pot served in a large clay pot filled with rice noodles and various seafood, including whole squid, fish balls, imitation crab, and taro. I'm not the biggest fan of this kind of rice noodles, so this dish doesn't speak to me, but it has a very authentic taste.

The beef noodle soup is way too salty and the noodle isn't chewy either. But the beef tastes good, very tender. Please avoid the fried loofah with clam. The clam is not fresh.

My son and I had 5 dishes here and finished all of them. Food is very good and the service was quick and unobtrusive.
Clean medium sized establishment. It was busy when my party arrived. There are a few chairs to sit on for waiting parties. You will need to walk all the way up front through the narrow aisle and put your name down on the clipboard in order to get a table. Lucky for us, the wait wasn’t too long. We ordered E10 Sauteed Beef w/ Tomato, D2 Diced Chicken w/ Bell Pepper, and A12 Sliced Stew Beef & (TO-GO) Cucumber Roll w/ Green Onion Pancake. The beef dish was ok. It tasted like beef in a ketchup sauce which I did not fully enjoy. The chicken dish was good. The chicken was cooked perfectly and was not dry. Had a light caramel taste to it and it wasn’t smothered in sauce. I enjoyed this dish. The green onion pancake roll was really good. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of it. I think this place is not great but not bad either. I’m not sure I would come back here only because the menu items did not appeal to me as much. However, it was busy so it seems people love this place. I would recommend to give it a try.

This place is great!! I can't believe there were this many people on the day before Thanksgiving lunch, but here we are. Was able to get seated immediately and was very happy with the customer service as they were extremely attentive for our table.We ordered this for 4 people which definitely was too much and brought a lot of leftovers home. Honestly this could have comfortably fed 10 people.- Juicy Pork Dumplings - Honestly probably one of the best XLB I ate in Fremont because the wrapper is so thin. I will say that because of that, the soup easily leaks out so make sure to carefully pick it up when you do order this dish.- Juicy Dumplings w/ Loofah Shrimp - Didn't ever imagine that I would say this, but I liked this dumpling more than XLB. I really appreciate how much soup there is in each dumpling and also the fact that you can taste each individual loofah and shrimp. It all went so well together in a very thin wrapper.- Sakura Shrimp Fried Rice - Not better than Din Tai Fung, but definitely up there. Loved the oily-ness of the rice which went well with the very distinct flavors of the sakura shrimp. Also I loved that we ordered this as it contrasted well with the rice noodle soup.- House Special Taro Squid Rice Noodle Soup - This is probably one of the most worth it things I have seen in a while. Essentially this a giant pot of rice noodle soup with taro, squid, mushroom, and a bunch of other meat/seafood meatballs inside. The best part of this dish is that you could get unlimited refill of the rich soup base which I could just happily drink alone. Also the portion sizes are insane, it could comfortably feed 5 people at least, it was overflowing with so many ingredients. I loved the addition of taro to this dish as it added another texture and the vegetable soaked up all the delicious broth which I really enjoyed.- Spicy Eggplant & Pork Intestines Pot - If you order this dish would recommend to eat it with rice because there's a lot of flavor. At first I thought they would have the smaller kind of intestines but they actually served up the large intestine which was tasty and fatty. I wish there were slightly more eggplant in this pot.I really got spoiled with this meal. Definitely would order the House Special Taro Squid Rice Noodle Soup as well as the Dumpling with Loofah Shrimp. Will be coming back to try more of their other dishes and with the portion sizes, it really makes it so affordable!

Came here with coworkers and had a wonderful experience! We got a variety of soups, noodles, and other dishes. My favorite things were definitely the sour beef soup and the shrimp and loofah squash XLB. The soup had homemade meatballs in it that were so soft tender and flavorful. Between the pork xlb and shrimp I'd say you have to try the shrimp. I haven't found it anywhere else and the fillings were so sweet.I love the sour beef soup. The flavor was great and I love their homemade meatballs.

Food here was great! We came on a late night so we got service pretty fast. Our favorite was the Mabinogion Tofu - it wasn't really spicy which I personally liked and was very saucy and hearty. The portions are big and are shareable with at least two people. It was a good meal and had leftover to take home!

To me this place is almost like Din Tai Fung, but it's less crowded, more available, and cheaper. I've heard people praising Din Tai Fung over Full House Dumpling for the better presentation and flavors but Full House Dumpling is just way available when you're looking for legit dine-in options for Xiaolongbao. This is very important to us because when you are craving for Xiaolongbao, you want that XLB FAST, HOT, and FRESH without having to wait in line for 2 hours or to take out.The followings are our regular orders (copied from the menu on Google Maps):1.Juicy Pork Dumplings (6Pcs) 小笼汤包(6pcs)2. Juicy Pork Dumplings With Crab Meat (6Pcs) 蟹粉汤包(6pcs)3.Juicy Dumplings With Loofah Shrimp (6Pcs) 虾仁丝瓜汤包(6pcs)4. Boneless Drunk Chicken 松满醉鸡5. Napa Cabbage, Glass Noodles & Meat Ball Soup 白菜粉丝丸子汤6. Salted Egg & Yolk With Tofu 金沙豆腐7. Stir Fry Pea Shoots With Garlic 蒜炒豆苗
