Dumpling Era Reviews
Lamb soup noodles were excellent.
Pork and shrimp dumplings were ok.
Tendon cold dish was disappointing (bite into a frozen piece of tendon)
Scallion, egg wrap. Disappointing. wrap was too thick, where's the chives. Egg was fried and over cooked.

Dumpling Era offers a mix of experiences with a menu that features a variety of noodles and handmade dumplings, including soup dumplings, salt and pepper chicken wings, and beef wrapped onion pancake. Customers appreciate the generous portions and tasty options, like XLB, spicy wonton dumplings, scallion pancake, and mapo tofu with noodles. While some find the service grumpy and tables sticky, others praise the quick service and delicious food. The restaurant has a hole-in-the-wall vibe near SFO, known for its loud atmosphere as they make their noodles fresh on-site rather than buying store-bought. Though the interior is industrial and sparse, it makes up for it with flavorful dishes. Customers enjoy authentic dumplings such as the Shanghai soup dumplings, pork potstickers, and shrimp and chive dumplings. The dough is noted for its nice texture, and the dumplings are fresh, even when ordered for takeout. However, some takeout orders can be inconsistent, especially with fried items that may become soggy. The beef roll is popular, though some suggest thinner cucumber slices for easier eating. Overall, Dumpling Era is a good spot for takeout, with quick service and dishes that hit the spot.
