I think this place has closed, sadly. For the past three weeks, I have called multiple times with no answer. I have also visited this place a few times during their normal opening hours and they weren't open. This was one of my favorite places for handmade noodles. They make the noodles to order so you can choose from thin, regular, wide, or extra wide noodles. I would always order the wide noodles and order it plain (so it was just the noodles) and use my own sauce at home to eat it with. Their dumplings were pretty good also. You can order boiled or pan fried dumplings. They also sold bags of frozen dumplings.

Good handmade fresh noodles and dumplings. ? Didn't look extremely clean though.

Their homemade dumplings make us feel home. Kids love them. Soup noodles are delicious and very authentic. I bought couple bags of their frozen dumplings too so I can cook them at home.

Great beef noodle soup, like so good I drank leftover broth the next morning for breakfast. Their tomato egg noodle (vegetarian) is amazing as well. The portions are quite big too, can be shared with plenty to spare. During the pandemic, they're getting less traffic so the noodles didn't taste super fresh which is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5 - but definitely still was QQ enough to satisfy my hand-pulled noodles craving.

Mom and pop style small shop that has tasty authentic Chinese dumplings. Their dumplings are quite large and filling. I loved their shrimp and chives and pork and chives dumplings, as well as their spicy cold potatoe salad (my favorite) as it was just enough flavor and spices. Left me feeling extremely full. Prices are extremely reasonable and quantity is a lot done what you pay. Service is to the point and no frills as you would expect for such a style of shop.

I'm on a mission to finish all the restaurants in this plaza so I decided to come to Mom Dumplings to help check that box off my list. I wanted to get the dumplings, after all its in the name, but after seeing it was $1 for 1, I opted to try something else.- Tomato and Egg Chow Mein - This was actually a pretty good dish because of the amount of eggs and the texture of the noodles. I think its pretty great that the make all the noodles in-house.- Maotai Beef Noodles - Solid bowl of beef noodle soup. Tastes a lot like the Taiwanese one if you are familiar with that flavor.Overall, a solid place to eat at. I do think that the dishes are unnecessarily on the pricier side and for that, I will not come back, but the they do have a pretty good flavor.

Don't really get the high rating. Ordered pork and shrimp pan fried dumplings to go and noticed none of the staff is wearing a face mask - not the one cooking or the one taking my order and payment. Ordered food, came back and tried to pay. I took out my credit card and the lady asks me for cash but there is no cash only sign in sight. I showed her that I'm a dollar or so short and she asks me for my Venmo. Uhh no. It really shouldn't be that hard for me to pay you she then walked closer to me to take my card WITHOUT a mask or any protective gear. Yea not coming back. Why come back for dumplings were just ok served by people not taking any precautions and trying to pressure me to pay cash?

Very messy and disorganized looking. Staff were quite impolite. Food was good though.

We went Mom Dumpling last night. We ordered spare ribs noodle and fried eggs with tomatoes. Asked a bowl of rice with tomatoes. The rice is cold, cold cold. Not even warm. What kinds of restaurant served cold rice? The spare ribs noodle was not like the menu picture. The environment was not clean. The server has dirty hands which she just making dumplings. Ripped off. Won't go back ag

The fact that this is across the street from where I live is DANGEROUS! Moms dumplings is sooooo delicious, I could eat it everyday! I believe they even make their own noodles which are thick and rich. Everything we had was delicious! There's not a day that goes by and I'm not craving moms dumplings!
Delicious, freshly prepared dumplings. Easy to pay with card, cash, or Venmo.

Holy-hole-in-the-wall! To be honest, walking in, I wasn't expecting much. I was expecting decent dumplings, but I got so much more. THE. DUMPLINGS. ARE. DELICIOUS. I think my friend thought I might be off my mark with this suggestion, but she took the first bite into the pan fried pork and scallion dumpling... and man. The look on her face just told me I was going to love burning the roof of my mouth for these dumplings. She was right. Worth it. The dumplings were juicy and flavorful. We also ordered the chicken and mushrooms dumplings and those were great too! I don't even like mushrooms! I'll pick them out of my pasta if I see them! But I ate these in like two bites. Highly recommended and remember that an order is 12 dumplings. Do share. We also ordered the cold chicken appetizer and cold chicken noodles. We were pretty stuffed from the dumplings so my review for these two items will have to be revisited at a later time.

Mom and pop about 5 tables, dumplings are decent

Definitely is an authentic hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurant hidden within a relatively large shopping center (that is not as crazy as the one on Barber Lane). Upon arrival, the female "host/server" commanded us to "SIT DOWN," doled out leather spiral-bound menus (that were slightly greasy but has great pictures!), and asked "TEA OR WATER?" After my friend and I ordered in ABC-Mandarin, the female server softened up a bit, warning us that certain dishes were hot and to be careful, refilled tea without asking, and asked if we liked the dishes alright. Husband, friend, and I ordered lamb+chive dumplings, shrimp+egg+chive dumplings (we opted for boiled as opposed to pan-fried but you get to choose), husband got 8-treasure porridge (hearty but kind of tasteless), I got Lanzhou Malan noodle soup (broth is excellent with the star anise flavoring coming through; meat was a little dry, and friend got Maotai beef noodle soup (very rich broth with soy sauce flavor). All the noodles were pulled by hand and made fresh before our eyes. The lamb dumplings were a bit too oily although still quite tasty, and the shrimp dumplings was very fresh. I believe it's cash only. I'll definitely come back.

I rarely venture into this plaza but was glad we stopped by. It's an inconspicuous small diner that uses cheap plastic plates and bowls, yet the dumplings and beef noodle soup were shockingly good. -Pork with sour cabbage dumpling ($12.95 for 12): easily one of the better boiled dumplings in the bay area. Skin was thinner than average which I liked, but robust enough to hold all the juices and fillings without any leaks. The texture was doughy and QQ, indicating proper cooking duration and that the dough was recently kneaded. Even without the dipping sauce the fillings had good flavors: sour, salty and slightly sweet. The dipping sauce though made it even better. -Beef stew noodle soup ($11.95): noodle again very QQ, we saw a lady in the back hand pulling the strands. You can select different noodle widths: regular, medium or broad. The beef (mixture of meat more than brisket) was very tender and served in smaller slivers which made it easier to eat. We are not fans of large chewy pieces of tendons or briskets, it's not a problem here. The soup was absolutely marvelous. It had the good comforting beef flavor along with a touch of pepper, perhaps black pepper? It was not overly salty or oily, def not MSG-esque like some generic Pho or ramen shops. We drank most of the soup but did not feel thirsty, even several hours later. -cold boiled chicken ($6.99): small appetizer and was just ok, we recently had excellent white-cut chicken from Rooster and Rice, this version paled in comparison. Talk about hidden dragons and crouching tigers, the Bay area is full of pleasant surprises. We were fortunate to have stumbled upon another hidden gem.
