    Quaint spot along the street. Service was fast. Dumpling came out hot and delish. Oh, the broccoli is divine, too.

    We finally were able to check this place out as it was a nice day to go out. They have front patio and back patio seating. We also realized they had a small parking section in their driveway (after we found street parking). We ordered an assortment of items to share - sweet n sour pork ribs, wanza noodle, black Truffle pork dumplings, beef dumplings, and pork cabbage dumplings. The wanza noodles were good and had plenty of flavor. The Truffle dumplings were good as you can taste the hint of Truffle in them. I did like their pan-fried option for the dumplings, which we got for the beef ones. They had a good exterior texture, whole the inside was still juicy and not dried. Overall, worth checking out.

    Matcha latte with oat milk--so good!

    Amazing dumplings! I stopped in for dinner and tried the lobster mac & cheese dumplings and the mochi with chocolate for dessert--both were absolutely delicious. The lobster dumplings come with a creamy white cheese dipping sauce that's rich, flavorful, and pairs perfectly. The dumplings practically melt in your mouth--freshly cooked and full of flavor. The service was personal and warm. Tonight it was a one-man operation, and yet everything came out hot, fast, and flawlessly prepared. Big bonus: they have a small parking lot--a rare find in NW Portland! The seating is cute and cozy, with several outdoor tables perfect for a relaxed evening. A real gem tucked into the neighborhood--I'll definitely be back!

    I came here a couple of times a week ago only to find the establishment to be closed both days during their regular operating hours. Guess they closed due to running out of dumplings. I finally gave them a third try today, and they were actually open. The attendant told me they will be closed every Monday to prep for the week to mitigate any future closures. I ended up joining their month membership to take advantage of the half off price on dumplings. And, ordered the traditional beef, and chive, egg and shrimp dumpling. With the membership, I also get one free drink a month, so I ordered a matcha latte with my membership. My first impression on the quality of food is pretty good so far. Both types of dumplings tasted fresh and clean. The sauces that came with the dumplings paired well with the dumplings. I am excited to try the other types of dumplings. I would have given this place a 5 star review for the quality and service. The loss of 1 star is due to the closure that occurred and the lack of clear communication.

    Dodo Dumpling was great! Decently sized menu, large and easy to read. Service was quick and kind, the space is well thought out and clean. Dumplings are tasty, and lemonade wasn't too sweet! I'll be back to try more!

    Chive egg shrimp dumplings. The ratio of the dumplings vs the sauce container shows how little they are.

    Way over priced. The restaurant is super cute even though the seatings are very limited. We ordered the cabbage pork and the chive shrimp steamed dumplings. The first impression seeing the food- they were appetizers and definitely not a single-order meal. The dumplings were tiny and definitely could use more stuffing. The flavor wise I was happy with the chive ones, they were fragrant and on point. Not so much for the cabbage ones, the texture was saggy and lack of the crunch you'd get from the traditional cabbage pork dumplings. We actually went to a second restaurant after eating the starters here.

    my rating is closer to a 3.5, this new dumpling spot in nw portland is in a cute location! the inside is smaller, seats maybe 10-15 people. during my visit, i ordered to-go on the phone. when i got there, i had to wait a bit longer because they were busier that night. dumplings were great! cucumber salad was a nice palette cleanser, could have added a bit more taste. noodles were cooked well, but the taste/texture was not my cup of tea. if the noodles were put in the chili sauce it might have worked more for us. lemonade was tasty. cannot wait to see this restaurant improve as time goes by. will go back for dumplings for sure.

    Pork cabbage dumplings that are pan-fried for that crispy bottoms.

    Cute little spot for dumplings. My tip is to always ask to pan-fry your dumplings instead of the traditional steamed versions, because this way you always get that perfectly crispy bottoms. The menu is a bit fusion, with some fillings you wouldn't expect for Chinese dumplings such as lobster mac and cheese and kim chi chicken. It's definitely a small spot, so as it gets popular at peak times, it can be a bit tricky maneuvering the line to order, which is squeezed in the enclosed veranda with the bar counter seating. (There are a couple of tables inside the "house" and a few tables in the front yard with heat lamps.) I think the pricing can turn off some people because it is on the high-end, but the dumplings shape and juiciness is legit. I had the traditional pork cabbage dumpling and it had great flavor. Another time I had the chicken curry dumplings, which are chicken dumplings served with a side curry dipping sauce. It was tasty. I ventured to try the miso mushroom veggie dumpling and I think that was my least favorite, had a bit of an off taste to me but vegetarians will probably appreciate it. The service is super friendly and helpful in this casual self-service dumpling spot.

    I came here for lunch, and when I arrived I was the only customer, but when I left it was getting busy. It's seems like it gets more foot traffic for dinner. I got the egg/shrimp/veg dumplings, the cucumber salad, and the matcha latte. Of all the items, the matcha latte was my favorite, and not because the other items weren't good; but because the latte was amazing! The dumplings were made fresh, and the cucumber salad also seemed to be made fresh as well. Staff checked on me when I was served, and when I was done. I appreciated the attentive customer service. They have a covered porch area which I imagine will be really nice when it gets cold. They also have an outdoor patio which is cute and surrounded my trees that provide shade. Some things to note about this business; you can choose between having your dumplings steamed or fried. I had mine steamed and they were great. You can also choose from several different kinds of dairy free milk for beverages, making this place a good option for vegans as well as vegetarians. They had soy, oat, and almond milk. They also seem to offer some kind of subscription service, which may be worth checking out for folks who want to eat here regularly. My only points of feedback are; it would be really nice if there was a place to park bicycles nearby. Also, it seemed like there was enough demand for dine-in to justify reusable dishware. I would recommend providing options other than takeout containers for dine in guests. The lack of dishware, however, seems understandable for such a young business. Overall, great service, yummy food, and a cute and quiet ambiance. I recommend it!

    Dumplings to go....i ate a few before taking the photo

    Amazing dumplings and super friendly and accommodating staff. I agree with others that it's a little expensive but they are very delicious and worth every penny....so treat yourself to some of their dumplings and enjoy the meal.
