Judging food entirely off my SO who ate here with me having only tea. This review will be a bit different from my others in that I asked him to use a rating scale per item, due to mixed reviews below. Crab won ton: 7.5/10 Not best he's had, but solid. Korean BBQ tips: 8/10 Very good with a little room for improvement vs the myriad of other places he's tried over time. BBQ Dumplings: 6 to 7 out of 10 Good but he prefers another style of dumpling, not the dough-heavy ones. read more

This place is so delicious, I am so happy to have found such a delicious dim sum place. Definitely a must try if you like Asian food. I ordered a few different things any everything I ate was delicious! My favorite is the Shu Mai, second the juicy soup dumplings. The staff was delightful, I was greeted when I walked in and was checked on many time to make sure I was happy with everything! The atmosphere was chill, very pleasant and friendly. Good music playing. read more

The worst dim sum ever. The food was not good. As an Asian/Chinese and I'm a foodie. I traveled from North to South Cali for good food; I knew how a good dim sum dish should be. We ordered the roasted duck and the smell was terrible because it was microwaved before it was brought to our table. The restaurant was dirty and the spider webs were at front door and at our table, too. Never come back. read more

The food was pretty good here. I got a tuna roll with eel sauce, and my friend got Steamed buns and gyoza. pretty good but nothing special. The service was a bit weird, It seemed very family dynamic which is fine. It's a bit awkward when you have a angsty teenager who clearly doesn't want to be there "working" the front. I asked for wasabi and they seemed confused that I asked for that??? The vibe of the restaurant was okay. We probably won't be back. read more

2 Stars is being generous. The restaurant was empty at 2 pm on a Saturday maybe this is why. Food was mediocre except the sweet and sour Shrimp (lunch special) that was good! Pork shumai was not good. They had something called the rock shrimp? That was not good it left a bad aftertaste. Worst part was the service. Waiter would disappear, then when we paid, he gave us too much change back, realized it, took it back, then didn't come back with the correct change. When he noticed we were still there, he asked what we needed, we said, "the change!!!" This was a mess. read more

Service was great, inside is fine decor wise and the menu is cool.. Food was okay in the moment, however it made me violently ill. We just got the already cooked dumplings.. shrimp, pork and chicken. That was all I had eaten that day aside from an iced latte which I don't think was the reason for getting sick. I had a horrible stomach ache about a both after that lasted 3 hours and ended in my throwing up.wont be going back because im scared to get sick again. Sad because the staff were really nice :( thinking it was the shrimp or that the pork was undercooked ? read more

Asie Dumpling House - Shrimp dumplings - Dim Sum Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Ordered food here on Uber eats and was underwhelmed and a bit disappointed. The bbq pork bao buns were the best thing out of what I ordered , but it was more of the boa bun than the BBQ pork filling so it was a little dry. the teriyaki chicken was chewy , & a very small portion for $10, the pork dumplings were a bit greasy and lacked flavor, the crab Rangoons had little to no crab inside, and the BBQ pork ribs actually scared me because ive never seen any kind of meat like this... And super fatty pieces / micro bone shards everywhere they were completely inedible. read more

Food was great. Everyone loved it all. Service is a little flat and they automatically added 18% tip on a party if five. Here is what we had for five people. Everything was two orders except where indicated. Cheese wonton Soup dumplings BBQ pork buns (1) Wonton with chili oil (1) Pan fried dumplings pork Shrimp tempura A sushi roll with shrimp tempura This was a perfect amount for our group. Place is clean and location is great. read more

what's up broskis so we came over to this place cuz we just saw it across the street and decided to check it out the place is that retry and the tables are massive (massive?) here are some odd things: the egg in the ramen was blue/grey, and according to jadical it was absolutely horrendous and the water was also a tad blue.. the appetizers were yummy, you can't go wrong with those; dumplings, green beans, and steaming rice were really good. The seafood ramen was very delish except for the egg. also pricing is pretty fair for the most part, and sushi was yummers. One of my only complaints is maybe having the waiter/waitresses wear gloves, cuz when they brought out soup their fingers were touching it also sesame balls are awesomesauce okay slighttt edit cuz the people here aren't the nicest father had gone to use the bathroom and they started forcing him to tip them and they were really mean.. read more

Came here for lunch. Service was good- not hovering, but not absent either. We ordered some dim sum and a rainbow roll. The dishes didn't all come out at once, but at a nice consistent pace so we could enjoy the meal in a relaxing fashion. The quality and taste of the food was good- not great, but not bad either. It hit the spot for me when I was searching for a light lunch to hold me over to dinner time. read more

Would not recommend this place to anyone. Not even my worse enemy. Fish was terrible, rice was hard and service was slow. One of my friend got food poisoning from this place. Should have known to run out the minute we walk it and see no asian people around. Ambiance was nice and quiet because no one would step in to the restaurant. read more

Decent food but don't expect to compare it to the more popular Chinese or dim sum spots. We were seated quickly on a Saturday but they were not so busy at that time. They have indoor and patio seating, which was nice to be able to enjoy good weather. One person ordered ramen and he didn't enjoy it. The sushi was pretty solid. The spicy wontons had an odd aftertaste to it. The staff is very nice! read more

When we got there it was completely dead, which we thought it was a good thing! but soon realize why it was dead. My friend order some dish and they change their mind on the order, as well told the server to not cook the order since they was still deciding. When the server came back my friend tried to change their order but the server told them it was already being cooked. This made my friend uncomfortable and not trying to be rude still took the order they did not want. I got the duck ramen and it was only 2 pieces of duck with a lot of bone. Was tasty. So that's why it gets the extra star. (From 0 to 1) Bbq Bao was okay as well, not very filling. But the service wasn't professional since my friend was pressure to still order a dish and pay due for the dish that was already being cooked. (Like why place the order in the kitchen when the customer told you to not do so because they're still deciding?!?) So make sure you already know what you want to order unless you will be pressured to pay for something you may not want! Will not be coming back here :/ read more

Let's just say it's not good dim sum :( I had high hopes due to the 5 star ratings but it was a disappointment. The Cheung fun was thiccck and flavorless. Actually everything was lacking flavor except for the chicken feet. And the egg tart was boiling upon arrival. Unfortunately won't be back :( read more

Awesome family owned spot, they're so sweet! A place we should all support. Thank you!!

I really like the fact that ASIE is trying to put out some Cantonese food on the Santa Barbara map. Perhaps it is the fact that I am Cantonese so I have significantly higher standards for Dim Sum, but this set of dishes is just not up to par. On the bright side, the ambience is really calming and the service is great. While their dim sum is lacking, perhaps their other food is better. Here's my reviews on their Dim Sum: Shrimp Cheung Fun - Unfortunately, this rice noodle dish needs significant improvement. Not only does the frozen cheung fun you can buy taste better but also the noodle is so chewy its like you're trying to engulf a mouthful of chewing gum. The batter needs to be a lot thinner, use less glutinous rice flour, and the soy sauce needs sugar. The shrimp is well seasoned and tender though. Spinach Dumpling - Sorry, but unfortunately this is another rough one. The filling of this dumpling is pure spinach, and the spinach has nothing wrong except the poor seasoning. However, a dumpling with pure spinach does not work because all you have is a mushy bundle of leafage once you squeeze the water out. Additionally, the skin is thick, bland, and wrapped poorly. In addition to some improvement in mastering dumpling wrapping, this dumpling also need some grounding substance for the filling to go with the spinach, among some necessary seasoning adjustments. Bean Curd Roll - The last of my ASIE reviews, and unfortunately, this dish is not good either. The rolls are poorly wrapped, almost hollow, and need significantly more filling, vegetarian or pork-based. The sauce is like a thin soy, but needs to be a thick gravy with more mushroom flavor and less soy. The only saving grace for this dish is the garlic on top, which is an interesting spin to the dish. read more

I am Chinese, I just wanted to try a new Chinese restaurant. Now I finally understand why there aren't any Asians eating in this restaurant. All the meals only looked like real Chinese food, in fact, only looked like Chinese food, I feel that this is not something for human beings to eat. I had dinner there about 20 minutes ago and now my stomach is already starting to ache. I feel like I've got food poisoning. Stay away from this place, trust me. read more

the experience was soo bad. i should have run out of this place after seeing no asian people around. food was absolutely terrible, terrible. how could a normal human being like this place? i am not a picky eater, but even i almost threw up eating the food. the tortillas for the pekín duck was raw, literally raw, the dough of the soup dumplings were tough, not soft at all. the beef chow mein was really oily and felt like plastic. trust me, never step a foot into this place if you dont wanna food poisoning!!! also, when we refused to tip our waitress because the food was atrocious, she just rolled her eyes and threw the plastic to-go bags at our table. wtf?weren't you suppose to say like we apologize we will do better next time? hundred dollars down the drain. read more

This place seems to have an identity crisis. They have such a large menu trying to cover Chinese and Japanese cuisines. I ordered off their dim sum menu, and the food was mediocre. The area doesn't seem to have many options for dim sum so this would suffice, but there's definitely other places you can go for sushi and ramen. read more

I would give this place a 0 if I could. First off, the cup I was served with lemonade was DIRTY, as seen in the picture below, and was clearly unwashed. There were also a cart of dirty dishes out in the open. I was so excited for the soup dumplings, but when we got them, they were just not good. They were slimy, hard to chew, and not tasty. The volcano roll and pan fried chicken dumplings were also bad. The cherry on top was that we heard so much gagging and coughing in the kitchen. The place was just so unhygienic, and we couldn't believe that it passed health inspection. Not even the food could make up for the dirtiness. We just took the check, paid and left. read more

Place was ok, my boyfriend and I would never choose to come back here. We were in downtown SB for the day and I had been craving dumplings for a while. We saw this place was literally all about dumplings, so we went. Upon walking in, the ambiance was definitely... interesting. My utensils weren't clean and the water was kind of funky. Anyways, we ordered chili wontons, duck ramen, miso soup, and an order of beef dumplings. Nothing stood out and the food that was served was not what we expected. For started, the chili "wontons" were not even wontons. Instead they were fat dumplings with a mysterious filling and numbing chili oil. Beef wontons were small and slippery, not the best flavor. The soups were definitely the winners of this meal. Miso soup was good and my boyfriend liked his duck ramen enough. We have had better for sure. The best thing about this restaurant was definitely the service. The workers were really nice and attentive. They came around many times to ask if we need refills, check in on us, and even give us some chili oil. It makes me sad to give such a low review but the food just wasn't cutting it. If the menu and items served up were better, a better review would be produced. read more

This place looked promising as it offers dim sum all day. I happened to walked by last month when I was in town and noticed it. Fast forward to last night. Happened to Be in town again and made a pit stop on state street for dinner. Sunday night and long weekend, the area was pretty busy but not overly run. Getting a table was easy. We sat ourselves and waited fir the waiter. Just like all the restaurants now, scanners are the new norm. They still brought out a menu, smaller one. Think it was more of the happy hour. Speaking of happy hour, there was offered for drinks and ramen. Drinks was like buy one get one fifty percent off and ramen was buy one get one thirty percent off. I rarely leave a low star rating but some just doesn't seem up to par. First off, location wise is great. Right in the heart of Santa Barbara on state street. Which means, it's a big tourist trap. Also caters to a good amount of college kids. Like I mentioned earlier, they served dim sum all day so I had to give it a try. Food, was just ok. Seemed basically frozen and then warmed up. The ramen was a another issue. I understand some people like their noodles al dente but even sitting in the broth, it did not seem to soften up at all. The other dishes was just ok. Food wise, nothing really to rave about . Service was good though. Good atmosphere with the outdoor dining. Heat lamps are offered. There's plenty of people watching while dining as well as live music. Also, when the bill came, happy hour price for ramen wasn't taken off. Had to Let them know. read more

This is the first genuinely authentic dumpling house I've ever been to, and I will be back again very soon. After grabbing lunch at a place nearby I saw this dumpling house and decided to order to go. I ordered the Shrimp Dumplings for myself and some Juicy Soup Dumplings for my partner, and some mango mochi ice cream for my sister. To no surprise at all, we were all very happy with what we ordered and our only regret was not dining it to enjoy the full experience. The sushi is about that standard price as anywhere else, but the dumplings were very cheap in my opinion but incredibly light, filled with flavor, and savory. The service was really quick and kind. And the interior of the restaurant was very clean and aesthetically pleasing. I thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance, and I will come back to enjoy some more of their options. PS: I think people review this place too harshly, this isn't a Michelin star restaurant, this is a INCREDIBLY reasonably priced authentic asian food! And this place is a gem that is under appreciated by the community it is in. read more

Food: Hot pot was done well but lacked veggie options and the 'real menu' was hand written on a paper that listed the limited options they had available that day. Service: Poor, Our server was either very new or completely oblivious to checking on drinks and cleaning plates of the table. Probably didn't help that I could see management on their phones in the back yelling at this kid struggling. Ambience: Cold. read more

We arrived here around 3pm. State street is closed for a few blocks and restaurants have patios set up in the street. Lots of tables and umbrellas for most of the businesses We were looking for a snack and decided on dumplings. We walked up and we were seated quickly. Water and menus were brought out immediately. I decided to order a sake. They have happy hour so it's but one get one free, on the sake. We ordered a pork dumpling, pork Shu Mai and shrimp dumplings, Har Gow. The dumplings are served in little bamboo steamers. The pork was really good and had nice flavor. The shrimp dumplings were even better. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, the dumpling had almost like a soup texture inside. The shrimp were not overcooked, I wish we stayed for more of a meal but what we had was great and I'm sure we will return when we get back in the area. read more

It saddens me to see so many reviews by people expecting 5 star restaurant experiences at a decent reasonably priced place I have eaten at many dim sum and sushi restaurants and found the food here to be even a little above average.

Ordered some sushi & chicken & beef dumplings. We've definitely had better sushi but this isn't a sushi place, it's a dumpling place.
