Okay, it is not big on atmosphere, but the dumplings are first rate and the staff is upbeat and friendly. I love the dumplings but have to restrict myself to no more than once a week. Best cheap eats in Sacramento.

Best dumplings in the Sacramento and surrounding location. The dumplings are tender, bouncy, tasty and savory and Hao Bao house dipping sauce is worth giving the location many visits in it of itself. Their gua bao aka "Chinese taco" is out of this world, the flavors are so rich silky, sweet and savory! The atmosphere is serene, love the sleek and clean minimalistic style. Well done, 100% recommend!

This is quite a busy place. We ordered fried dumplings and those were too oily. I think we should have gone with steamed ones.

The dumplings had thick wrappers, and while the beef and pork chive flavors were ordinary, the portion size justified the price. The savory and spicy chili sauce complemented the dish well, while the sweet sesame sauce added a pleasant contrast.

Even though the dining room is not my favorite part of the experience, I love it. The food is good. The young gentleman who works there alone at dinner time handles the cooking and customer service very well. I have to give an additional star just for him! I'll return and try more on their menu next time.Vegetarian options: They have vegetable dumplings available on the munuParking: Both parking garage and street parking are available nearbyKid-friendliness: The dumplings are so yummy and easy for the kidsWheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is on the ground floor. No problem with a wheelchair.

Hao Bao Dumplings falls short of expectations, and I wouldn't recommend it. The dumplings were disappointing, and were excessively thick and chewy. While the pan-fried option was marginally better than boiled, it was very oily. The Beijing noodles lacked an appealing flavor, and despite being a budget-friendly option, the overall meal lacked authenticity.

The dumplings and hand pulled noodles are delicious. The service was excellent. I gave a 3 stars for Atmosphere is because the restaurant is set up more like a grab and go. Overall we enjoyed our meal.?Parking: Meter Street parking and Paid parking lots. It is downtown so may be hard to find parking.

Amazing food very well priced and great service. 24 dumplings was plenty filling for two people.
Accidentally ordered twice, got a refund for free and kept it. Fried dumplings were on fire. Great server and cooking. I'd come here again if I'd actually live here.

It'd be great if they could drop more than 1 order at a time in the boiling water so I don't have to wait an hour for 1 order of plain boiled dumplings.

Came in on a whim and I’m glad I did! The pan-fried beef dumplings were great! Loves the house sauce and the spicy chili sauce, too. Came out hot and fast with friendly service. And it’s a great deal, very affordable for plenty of food.

Unfortunately, this place wasn’t it. Coming out of the area, missing Asian food like back in my hometown, I was craving good food.Food — I ordered the steamed pork dumplings. The dough was too thick and gummy. The meat was not flavorful and was a similar texture to the dough. It was a mouthful to chew through.I also ordered the Beijing Noodles. The noodles were just as bad as the dough. They were thick, slimy, and gummy. The pork sauce was too chunky and didn’t coat the noodles. So eating the noodles was a nightmare.The only positive is that it’s a lot of food for each serving. Unfortunately, that alongside the taste, I only ate 30% of my food.Service — They forgot a part of my friend’s order. Another one of our friends wasn’t given a spoon for her soup. Trying to ask someone for utensils was unfortunately impossible. They came to the table, dropped off the food without saying anything, then immediately left. Understandably, it was busy, but a simple “enjoy” would alleviate the issue.Atmosphere — Trust me, a sign of a good Asian restaurant is that it looks like a hole in the wall. I took that as a hopeful good sign for this place. But when the food and service is terrible, it flips the meaning of “a whole in a wall” type of atmosphere. It was just adding salt to the wound at this point. The tables were sticky and decor is lackluster.All in all, I wouldn’t recommend this place. I feel awful for my friends for since I wanted to come here. We didn’t have a good experience whatsoever. It wasn’t worth the $30 for my meal.
