Dough Zone Dumpling House

Can't go wrong with dough zone. Always good! Get the dan dan!

Food is bland and greasy. There was no soy or dipping sauce included with the dumplings!

This is my second time here and it was still good. I just wished they had spicer sauces. That would have elevated the experience. The food came out really fast and everything was made right where you can see the chefs.

Yes!! Very similar to Taiwan. Everything was amazing tonight. The kids said they wish they could eat this every day.

Cramped table experience, pushy staff, waited 2 hours for food. Was okay food but it was so slow to get to us. They forgot to give us part of the order for an additional 30 minutes. Said they would comp it, still got charged. Never again.

Finally a location in Federal Way! Now we don't have to head to Seattle or Bellevue for good dumplings. Good service and tasty food. The Dan Dan Noodles were especially good, almost as good as what you would get in Chengdu. You can definitely taste the Sichuan peppercorns. We will definitely return!

Yummy new Chinese crepe and beef pie 😜 got the usual pan fried wonton, spicy cucumber, cold noodle was refreshing, spicy dumplings

Made to order dumplings, noodles, wonton. Quick and friendly service.

I was disappointed by this promising place. I ordered the green onion pancakes and the pan fried pork buns. The pancakes were fine but got old as the only food while I waited and waited. The server did not tell me that the buns take 20-30 minutes to come out, and it isn't mentioned in the menu. I had limited time that evening so it messed me up for my other activities. I would have ordered something else if I had known. And then they were not even good to eat. I have no idea why other people love them. They were thin walled pockets with a small, dense blob of meat rattling around inside, and some broth that pours out when you bite into it. So I'd take a bite of dough, try to sop up some broth or sauce but it doesn't soak into the fried dough, and then take a bite of the meat blob. Not enjoyable at all.

The decor is pleasantly light and modern. But when the staff moved the tables and chairs, they made horrible screeching sounds from dragging on the floor. Overall the servers did not seem happy to be there.

Perhaps their other food is better but the menu didn't have much I wanted to try due to spiciness or meat options. I was surprised. Apparently this place has a very narrow range of clientele which is fine if you happen to match.

Pretty good and lives up to the name. Very doughy food. Excellent dipping sauces as well.

My sister and I went here last weekend for lunch. The staff here are super friendly and have a very positive attitude. We were greeted and seated immediately even though it was a little busy. Our waitress was great and very helpful in letting us know which dishes were popular and recommending things to try. The staff were also very quick to clear our dirty/empty dishes so we always had a clean table. The environment was nice and the music was great, really set the tone for a nice and relaxing lunch. Absolutely loved everything and I will definitely be returning!

To dine in is the best option to eat fresh. I visited for the first time here in Federal Way, I have been to the Settle one too. The only down side is that if you’re ordering the beef soup online everything is separated and it seems that the amount you get when delivered is a lot less and less hot. When I ordered online the noodles were cold and the stew lukewarm warm, the packaging has to improve. The best option is to eat in the restaurant.

Today we dined here with a large party, 20 people, more than half of which were first timers... We called ahead and they were very accommodating. We arrived 10min early and our table was already set and ready, the staff seated us immediately after they filled all the water, and right away brought out tea while we sorted our orders. We ordered 39 dishes...and with service mastery the dishes were brought out and placed strategically for sharing, every single item from the soups to the dumplings came promptly at a great pace. Every time a plate was emptied it was immediately removed, our tea and waters refilled when needed, napkins and extra dishes provided again when needed and ALL without request. I'm the type to get a head of things in anticipation of delayed service, especially for groups, and I never got the chance, they were really that good, on par with the best service I've ever received at any level of restaurant... Besides the fantastic service, the food was all perfectly cooked and beautifully prepared, every single item literally in its best form and flavor! The Beef Noodle Stew, the Cold Noodles, the Soup Dumplings, the Fried Wantons, Wantons in Chile Oil and the Green Onion Pancake were the standouts, and the Banana Nan for dessert was fantastic...all for under 500$ including tip. I decided to write this review because 5 hours later we are finding ourselves still talking about our experience! Bravos Dough Zone, thank you so much for the meals and we will definitely be coming back for more!

Food lacks flavor… Dan Dan noodles taste like straight oil, pan fried pork buns were burnt on the bottom very disappointing experience.

If I could give 0 stars, I would! Without hesitation. The service is terrible and the staff couldn’t even communicate their errors. We waited for 30 mins after we ordered food, we watched everyone who was seated after us receive their food. Overheard the kitchen stuff had messed up tickets but no one could communicate. As soon as we left, they cleared our table within seconds. No one apologized for the terrible service. Do not go here
