This place is cool, creative takes on dumplings, tom yum xiao long bao and mapo tofu dumplings were really good and fun, crab XLB also good, cool stuff you won’t necessarily find elsewhere!

I had the seafood dumplings—they were delicious! Their chrysanthemum tea and scallion pancakes were great, too!

Worst “grandmas pork” dumplings I’ve ever had. Pork tasted raw and had an awful flavor. You can tell the dough isn’t made in house either. Would not recommend at all

We tried around a dozen dishes and enjoyed them all. Highly recommend the green beans, scallion pancake and beef noodle. Legimitate tastes of Taiwan!

Ordered takeout — went with the pork, cabbage, and onion dumplings. They traveled surprisingly well; still soft and juicy when I got home. The flavor was solid — savory filling with a nice balance between pork and cabbage — though nothing that completely blew me away.
Overall, a dependable dumpling spot if you’re craving something comforting and straightforward. Nothing fancy or over-the-top, but it definitely hits the spot. I’d order again, especially for a quick and easy meal.

We were in town visiting from Atlanta and since we saw this place mentioned on a YouTuber’s page that we follow, we decided to visit. Unfortunately, we were disappointed that we went out of our way to eat here:( We didn’t like the coldness of the employees demeanor. They were very stoic, very, to-the-point and not welcoming at all. We run businesses in Atlanta and were just appalled at how apathetic the one woman was who was yelling out at everyone as they entered. The waitress basically yells out as you enter- asking how many people, then tells you to take a seat and scan the code to view the menu. All hands off. The digital menu viewing was fine- they just lack basic customer service principles and that is at the heart of all successful businesses. So I did not enjoy my experience here. The food was lackluster as well. Water served from tap- no ice. Just BLAH. Everything was BLAH. Decor. Blah. Bathrooms- untidy and needed to be cleaned. BLAH. We were not thanked once we paid the check- she just took the money and turned around and walked off! The audacity! No thank you, no kindness or attempt to show gratitude to the customer- horrible attitude. They were just slightly rude and the vibe was just not good. We Would not recommend or return. I had the shrimp fried rice and the shrimp was undercooked and the rice was just plain- just BLAH. 2 stars is reaching. Wasted an afternoon finding this place. There are much better Asian restaurants in the area and over near Japan Town. Whoever owns this place needs to really put these employees through some serious customer service training in order to teach them the value of connecting with customers and creating community. That really goes a long way.

We order Mongolian beef and noodles beef. Both are way too salty. Poorly prepared. We didn’t enjoy the food. Dumplings so so given the name Dumpling Union is a shame.

The food came out very fast, it was good. I did find a hair in my green beans which made me not finish my last few bites. The cucumbers were disappointing so maybe skip those. I will say the restaurant itself needs a good cleaning. The walls are filthy and dusty, and the vents are packed shut with dirt/lint.
