dumpling hour is a happy hour

DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMENDED!!! The staff dropped a heavy roll of plastic on my girlfriend and hit right on the face while walking through. Food is also barely eatable, and the space is so tiny and have safe hazards to do not put shelf in public walking area. It is dangerous for customers and workers. Especially it is on a path to the restroom.

Not sure what hype is all about. Nothing special here. Just another average dumpling place. Service wasn't that good.

I just came back from a trip. Couldn’t wait to order the food to take home. However, it was disappointing. The hot and sour soup was the least tasty hot sour soup I ever had. Only tasted soy source.
The shrimp dumplings had no liquid inside. The takeout bag had no serving utensils.

Delicious dumplings in downtown WC- we are so lucky to have you! Showed up for dinner on a Saturday night. I worried with the line of people waiting but we were seated about 5 mins after putting our names on the list. We were a party of 2. So many dumplings to choose from. We got the ginger & scallion noodles, pan fried pork buns, pork won tons. All were delicious and perfect amount of food for 2 people. The service was incredibly quick and staff were friendly. We will be back!

A busy dumpling house in downtown Walnut Creek. It's not a fancy place and accommodations are tight, but the service is quick and friendly and the dumplings are always on point. I'm a big fan of the juicy pan fried pork buns, the spicy Xiao long bao soup dumplings and the ginger and scallion noodles, but you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu in my opinion. My favorite takeout joint for sure, but eat in is fun too and since the dumplings are still piping hot (and take care when you bite into them!).

Vegetarian options: Some great veggie options but the best dishes are meat-based in my opinion.

Came for brunch, overall a 4.5 out of 5. I ordered the XLB, chili wontons, scallion garlic noodle, and pancake.

I enjoyed the XLB broth, it tasted flavorful while not being overly salty. Felt like the soup inside tasted cleaner than other places I've been to. Chili wontons were good, the texture of the wrappings was smooth but still had a nice chew to it. My taste are skewed as a socal resident who only orders Chinese food when visiting norcal.

Xlb - 5
Wonton - 4
Green onion Pancake - 3.5
Scallion garlic noodles - 4

Handmade dumplings and quick service. What more could you want? It's easy to order from your phone. The fried juicy pork dumpling was my favorite. The cucumber salad was delicious and a sharable portion without being too much food. On a hot day, you can sit in the back of the restaurant away from the windows. On a cool day or evening, it would be very nice to sit outside on the big patio.
Overall the portions were a good size to share among 3 people.

The restaurant is small but the food and service was excellent. Located in the popular downtown area of Walnut Creek but not in the shopping area is where you will find some great Chinese food.
