Delicious and authentic food! I had the chicken dumplings and vegetarian noodles. That’s some awesome sauce! (Definitely couldn’t finish, and I’m very happy to have leftovers!)

Food is usually worth the wait but you have to check your order down to the ingredients--the wait is never as short as they say online, and they often mess up orders, so I always check ours before I leave. But we keep going back because their dumplings and sandwiches are so incredibly good.
Update 11 Jul 2025- They messed up order again for what the 5th, 6th time and we can't even get it fixed without going back since no one speaks English well enough to fix it. How infuriating. My husband picked up order instead of me so he didn't check it close enough and they gave us vegetarian noodles instead of the ones with the pork. When we went back, spoke with owner and not the guy who answered the phone. She was very apologetic and acknowledged the order was incorrect and did make it right. She also mentioned she knows she has to do something to eliminate this issue but is still figuring it out. All I can say is food is excellent but carefully check the order down to the sauces you get.
Overall rating due to these repeated issues went from 4 to 1 and then 3 stars. We will still go because food is excellent, but we will be even more diligent checking orders in the future.

Don't get me wrong, I love the food at Sister Liu's especially the pork burgers and dumplings, which I order on repeat. My problem is that my order is sometimes made wrong and I don't get what I paid for. Yesterday I ordered two spicy pork buns for an extra charge. I got one spicy and one regular. Once I paid for dumpling sauce and didn't get it and once I made an online order that didn't go through and I had to order at the shop. I was charged twice for the whole order, but fortunately they refunded the second charge. All I'm saying is double check your order before you leave.

My favvvee dumplings. I get the chicken ones and the shrimp ones. I love the chili soy sauce they give too. Two to share between two people is a perfect amount.

I wish there was a way to rate restaurants as a Doordash driver within the app picking up orders. This place doesn't allow you inside to pickup or place an order. Their instructions say to text them once arrived but I waited and no response for several minutes. So I called and once I mentioned I was picking up for Doordash, they hung up on me.
2 people were waiting in their car in the parking lot and placing their order online ad instructed on virtually every possible doorway and windows of this place. An employee literally came out with their food into the cold and then ushered them out of the car and unlocked another part of the building and let then inside. Bizarre. And rude. Please go anywhere else.

I ordered the spicy pork dumplings and they were delicious. The price was good for the amount of food you get too. I only wish there were some indoor seating options.

Fantastic dumplings and vegan options too! My husband loves to have dumplings for lunch so I buy frozen bags here. There are a couple parking spots and a few outdoor picnic tables to eat at.
Dietary restrictions: Plenty of vegan options
Parking: At least two spots right in front of the building

The food was good and had a good flavor. The service was good but you have to order from a kiosk. It is kind of hard to find and there is minimal parking. It is not wheelchair accessible. The parking lot is gravel and the sidewalk is busted up. There are only two picnic tables to eat at. It's really for take out and delivery.
