This is a Chinese restaurant where Asians are seated in a hidden corner, and every single white man is seated at a 4-seater window seat! It was really unpleasant.

Absolutely amazing. Great prices, delicious food! The xiao long bao was amazing and I would eat here every day if I could. Their vegetarian spicy noodles were perfect spice level and the broth was so satisfying.

Outstanding combination of food and service in a modern setting. Try everything. Dumplings and onion pancakes are super tasty. Very good service and prices. Hopefully they come to Tacoma and Gig Harbor.

Having been to previous dough zones, we were expecting a similarly delicious experience at this location. Unfortunately, this location lacked on flavor, service, and had a long wait time for receiving our dishes. Not sure if they were under staffed or too busy, but the time between seating and getting our first dish (which was a cold dish and shouldn't have taken long to prepare) was longer than the wait for a seat. Additionally, we never received one of our dishes at all. Of the 3 dishes we did receive two hot ones were over-cooked (burnt bottoms of the wontons and buns). We would not return :(

That was a great place and our young kids loved the food. Polite staff, great presentation and venue. Only got 4 star because our first soup dumplings were forgotten for 45 min.

Dietary restrictions: Very friendly for dairy allergen. Only avoided the banana naan.

Kid-friendliness: Kids enjoyed the food and family friendly

I frequently go with my parents to the Dough Zone up by Paramount, and have never had any complaints. The service there is always prompt and attentive, the food is always hot when served. I don't know why this location is different- maybe because it just opened.

We've been twice, and both times it was impossible to get a server's attention. This last time, there were no sauce dishes on ANY of the tables that we could see, and there were no servers in sight at all. I had to just get up and go grab sauce dishes myself from the servers' prep area.

The soup dumplings came out lukewarm, without even any steam coming off them. Like they'd been pre-cooked and left sitting until someone ordered some. The insides were still gelatinous, not soupy, and it was disgusting.

We also ordered the fried dumplings- these are some of our favorites, we love the crackly webbing on the bottom. It always comes with the webbing at the Paramount location. But this visit, ALL of the webbing was broken off the fried dumplings before serving. We ordered two helpings- both had the crackly webbing removed. These were also lukewarm.

We also ordered several of the vegetable appetizers and they all had barely any dressing or sauce.

We'll continue to patronize the 6th Avenue location but this location is a major disappointment.

We came across this place randomly during our evening walk a couple of days ago. It was a cozy restaurant with a simple menu.

We had the pork Xiao long bao, Q Bao, noodles and kale with garlic sauce. Wait time was reasonable. Food was great especially the Xiao Long Bao dish which was piping hot on arrival. We had a great time there and my son loved the kale with garlic sauce.

We will definitely return for more!

Plain no flavor wonton. Rude staff, cold dining area. Was not offered any sauces, had no one return besides for bill. Strange place.

Really great service and the food was, as always, delicious. First time at this location but I've liked all 3 I've been to so far. Got Dan Dan noodles, green onion pancakes, boiled pork dumplings and the Thai milk tea. Superb.

I don’t know why this is so well rated. Dumplings weren’t tasty, kale salad at a buffet is done better. Waiters are just doing bare minimum. But yes, it is cheap

Overall taste: 2/5

Siu long Bao: it's decent. Skin is thin, soup is alright. 6.5/10

Onion pancake: not edible it was so oily. Basically was eating oil. We could not eat it 1/10

This place was amazing. We tried pretty much half of the menu and there was nothing that I wouldn't order again. Even the kids, who are normally picky as all get out, ate until they were stuffed. Service and atmosphere were great as well.
