Dumplings were really really good! Especially the soup dumplings. We tried the Dan Dan noodles and I didn't quite like it because of the spice that was used.

Dingo and I were hankering for some Dim Sum and found the Dough Zone Dumpling House...Best choice we've made in a long time. We ate to our hearts' content. The staff was great and very helpful.

Dough Zone is a great budget-friendly Chinese restaurant. While some of the dishes may not look perfectly traditional in terms of presentation, the taste is fantastic and authentic. We ordered the juicy xiaolongbao, well-filled chive pockets, minced chicken noodles, and wontons—all for around $40. Definitely worth it for the price and quality!

Occasionally the servers would deliver the wrong food. However the overall experience is good. If you don’t want to wait in line and pay a boat load of money to Din Tai Fung, then this is the place to be instead.

I came here with low expectations since I’ve been to a few other DZ locations before. I would say this one is consistent with the other locations. For SSJ, it’s a decent spot for XLB but I’ve just come to the conclusion that it’s not in my top 5 for good dumplings. While there was a good amount of soup in each XLB, both the soup and meat filling lacked flavor for all of the different ones we ordered. The spicy wontons were good but nothing to write home about. The portions were also average and came out in a timely manner. Service was quick and efficient. Sorry to say it wouldn’t be a first choice for me to return since there are other restaurants I would prefer to go for XLB.

Parking: Plenty of parking available as it is in the large Almaden Ranch Shopping Center.

On a glance of the appearance, the soup dumplings look normal and appealing, but biting into it releases its disappointment in taste and texture. Same goes with the beef pancakes, chewing meat and ok taste. The lettuce salad looks less appetizing but turns out good, slight spicy taste gives a good kick. Then came the pan fried pork buns, the base is hard but crispy, all I can say is I had better in many other places (not Dough zone). Will likely not come back to any store in the near future.
