I decided to take my boyfriend here for his birthday because of his love for Chinese food/dumplings. I am so glad I did, we both loved it and talked about it multiple times before coming back for our 2 year anniversary this last weekend. I honestly can’t remember all the dishes we had but every single one of them was good. We had bao buns, a beef soup of some sort, wontons, etc. For drinks we’ve gotten the passion fruit iced tea twice now and we both struggle to not gulp it down immediately. The oolong tea was not my favorite personally, I feel like it didn’t have a lot of flavor although my boyfriend liked it. This last time we got the jasmine tea and I loved it, it was light and aromatic, all around amazing. Finally, the service was incredibly fast even though we came at a busy time. Suffice to say I have found a new favorite restaurant!

This place has hot and sour noodles! ! This is enough to give it five stars, it’s so cool

Best restaurant in Issaquah! Food is amazing. Most importantly, they don’t close at 8pm like other restaurants in the area. They continue to serve dinner at normal dinner hours. So good!

The Xiao Long Bao were great tasting although a couple lost their juice. The pot stickers were tender and flavorful. The onion cake tasted like the oil used was a bit bitter. The Dan Dan noodle was good with a Szechuan pepper taste, but lacking in enough peanut sauce. Overall, fresh good tasting dumplings.

It's a great place for family style food. I love the iced teas as
Food was decent, we got the pork bun, soup dumplings and wontons with chili sauce and the best was the wontons mainly from the sauce that was on it. The rest I felt lacked flavor and tasted the same. The bathrooms were pretty clean which I liked being someone who does not like public bathrooms. The service was not good, they didn’t say a single word to us, and never came to check in on us. The place is pretty clean and I would come back if someone wanted to come, but won’t come out of my way to come here specifically. The food is a little pricey for the portion that you get. All in all, an okay dumpling place.

This is my fav place for soup dumplings and honestly most other things. Their soup dumplings and q-bao are just the most amazing! They have changed a few items and I don't like them that much, not sure why they changed-like the green beans now on the minced pork noodles take away from the rest of the dish. Service is quick and good. Highly recommended!

Dough Zone has been one of my favorite restaurants in Issaquah. However, I was very disappointed today. I went there with my family for a delicious dinner, but the Xiaolongbao, which was advertised as 8 pieces, only came with 6 pieces. Additionally, the minced pork topping on my favorite dish, the minced pork noodle, was only half of what it used to be, and I could barely taste the flavor.I do understand that this happened due to inflation but as a customer who loved the restaurant. Declining food quality is very disappointed.

I used to be a big fan of this location. But my visit yesterday changed the impression. TLDR; food quality is on a decline.The prices have increased - which is expected due to the inflation in last couple of years. The quality of food has declined significantly in the duration.The salad sauce has increasing artificial taste to it. The romaine used in the salad was visibly not on the fresher side.Single portion sized noodles are still tasty and flavorful. Hoping that they are not using a lot of artificial flavoring in them. The ginger on the side plate was crushed /paste which doesn’t give the confidence about its freshness.Although the xiao long bao and steam dumplings were decent, the chicken wonton soup completely spoilt the experience. The wonton soup had a very strong sour taste which almost makes you throw up. It took some time to regain the joyful mood after the worst tasting wonton soup.Sad to see a favorite place going down like this.

The dan dan noodles was really salty. Too much vinegar in the chili wontons. XLB and the fried wontons with chili were okay.
