About Tong Dumpling (San Jose)

Tong Dumpling, located in San Jose, is a restaurant that specializes in northern Chinese cuisine. It is highly regarded in the Bay area for its noodles, dumplings, and buns. A highlight of the menu is the Zha Jiang Mian, or 炸酱面, which has been praised for its authentic taste and handmade noodles with a great bite.

The restaurant offers more than just dumplings and has a full menu of entrees and sides, with some dishes being even more impressive than the dumplings. The Hot & Sour Soup is a generous portion for its price and has a solid flavor. The Green Beans are packed with garlic, but some may find it to be a bit oily. The Beef Chow Fun stands out with its delicious and flavor-packed taste, using cabbage instead of bean sprouts for texture.

The Three Deluxe Dumplings, however, have been described as having a thick and doughy dumpling skin, with an overpowering taste of chives in the filling.

Tong Dumpling is a cozy, family-owned restaurant with friendly staff. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. Despite some dishes needing more seasoning, the restaurant is worth visiting for its authentic Chinese food and great noodles.
