    Ube Milk Tea (Cold) 紫薯奶茶 (冷)
    Kim K.

    Had a lovely meal here! I started with the ube milk tea with rainbow jelly. It was very sweet but delicious. We got a variety of steamed buns and they were all piping hot and fresh. The service was pretty slow and we were never checked on, but overall still had a good meal.

    From the outside and interior, this place feels sleek and modern which gave me high expectations that the food would match the vibe. Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to that. The soup dumplings barely had any soup in them. While one of my friends enjoyed the pork bun, I found it pretty average compared to others I've had elsewhere. My friend actually placed a to go order for another pork bun, which was supposed to take about 15 minutes but it was completely forgotten until we asked about it 30 minutes later. Overall, I really wanted to like this spot because of its aesthetics, but if you're looking for some solid dim sum, I'd recommend trying somewhere else.

    Ambience is nice; convenient location on harbor steps wiyh great lighting. Service is polite. My companion recommended the egg fried rice and scallion pancakes. While the rice was flavorful, the portion was small (barely a cup and a half of rice), and lukewarm. For $6.50, you expect better. The pancake was crispy, but too oily. The dumplings were terrible. The pan fried version had a great crisp on the bottom, but the top part (where the dough is crimped) was less than al dente. Meaning, it wasn't cooked all the way through. Same for the steamed version: soggy bottom, partially cooked at the seam. What was truly disappointing was the filling: flavorless, mass produced meat pellets. I wanted to like this olace but the food was so disappointing.

    This place is almost like DTF's chiller, more down to earth cousin. We went for a late lunch and got the chicken XLB, pork XLB, shrimp and pork potstickers, pork buns, banana crepe and a Thai iced tea. Everything was okay, but nothing really blew me away. The soup dumpings were my favorite, though the craftsmanship of them was a little off. My partner really enjoyed the pork buns. The banana dessert was downright nasty and oily and I wish we'd not gotten it. The service leaves a lot to be desired. I wouldn't say anyone was rude, the servers were just really inattentive and blasé and the restaurant wasn't even extremely busy. It took forever for refills and we had to flag someone down to ask for the little bowls to make our dipping sauce, which I kind feel like should be a no brainer at a dumpling restaurant. One of the moments that bothered me the most was when we asked what types of seafood the seafood sauce that comes with the broccoli is made of because my partner has a crab allergy. The server said "Let me check," and walks away. Of course, we're thinking she's going to come back with a verbal answer, instead she returns with a small bowl of the sauce and gives it to my partner to taste? We reiterate that my partner has a shellfish allergy and she's like "It has crab and shrimp, yeah don't eat that." Cool. We verbally order the broccoli without the sauce, and go so far as to cross it out on the paper menu slip...It still arrives to us with the sauce on the plate and some of it is spilled on the broccoli near it. I'd come here again if I needed a quick dumpling fix, but I probably wouldn't rush back.

    Came here out of convenience since Pike Place was closed, and honestly wasn't very impressed. The aesthetic of the place and food looks good but I felt that the food itself was just decent. We ordered the sesame romaine lettuce salad (one friend doesnt like cucumbers, and another doest like kale), pan fried potstickers, chili wontons, xlb, dan dan noodles, and beef stew noodle soup. Maybe because I've tried other places that specialize in these dishes, I felt like the dishes were quite bland and lacked flavor. I was a bit disappointed by the noodles as it just seemed like ramen noodles for both the dan dan and beef stew. I was expecting the noodles to taste more fresh but it was a little soggy. If I'm being honest the salad was my favorite. The lettuce tasted fresh and the sesame dressing paired well with each crunchy bite. What really made us scratch our heads was that we had been seated at a (5 seat) table, but 15 mins later one of the servers asked us to sit at a smaller table (4 seats) because there happened to be a party of 5 that just came in. We wouldnt have minded if this was at the beginning, but we had already been seated with water, ordered, and started snacking. Maybe this day was a bad day, but me and my friends would not come back again.

    Whew, I was so excited for dough zone because we have no equivalent where I live. Overall, the food was okay but the service leaves a lot to be desired. The bao, pancake, potstickers were excellent. The broccoli was very undercooked (raw) and the cucumber was underpickled by a lot. The ma la noodles and fried rice were okay. Getting any additional refills or napkins was really hard. The team would hear your request then come back about 5-10 minutes later to actually fulfill it. This is challenging with young families when you're trying to contain the mess your child is making. All in all, I would come by myself to specific items. It didn't work well for us that evening.

    Large restaurant and maybe because of the time/day there were not many customers. Boba - too sweet, no real tea flavor 1.5/5 Soup dumplings - decent amount of soup inside. a little messy when presented.. skin a bit thick too and not super yummy. 3/5 cucumbers - not seasoned enough or pickled enough. basically just nicely cut cucumbers. 1/5 Fried dumplings - more oily than anything. not too good. 1.5/5

    Pork Boiled Wontons in Chili Sauce (6)  红油猪肉小馄饨
    Czarina G.

    Was at downtown seattle & my sister goes to Dough Zone franchise a lot. Food is delicious, portions are small, it's more of an individual meal sized compared to other dumpling houses where it's served family style. We all ordered the beef stew noodle soup, the broth is flavorful and balanced with the tender beef. Comes with two pieces of lettuce, pieces of beef, noodles, and green onions for garnish. My sister ordered us the sweet and sour cucumber....blew my mind. It was so crunchy, had the perfect tang, and is cut in a specific way that is a continuous log which I enjoyed. I also ordered the pork boiled wontons in chili sauce, it comes with 6 pieces and is pretty small compared to the wrapper to meat ratio. Besides that everything came hot and was delicious. I ordered the passion fruit tea and the rest of my family shared the jasmine tea which comes in a coffee pot ensuring that it stays warm. We were seated pretty fast considering how busy it was, you scan a QR code in the entrance and they call you afterwards. Plenty of seats and tables. Service was good but no one checked up on us throughout our whole meal until we finished eating.

    Got garlic noodles and scallion pancakes when I stopped my for lunch while in Seattle. The food was pretty good and affordable! I'd definitely go again and recommend if you're looking for a quick eat with protein while in Downtown

    I love this spot for its prime location near Pike Place and Post Alley. It's close to the action but without the chaos. The space is roomy, and unlike some of the other locations, you're usually not stuck in a long line. The food is reliably excellent and true to the brand. My personal weakness is the sweet-and-sour cucumber. It's so addictive you'll swear they sprinkle magic on it. Potstickers are always a safe bet, and the pork and shrimp dumplings never disappoint. Pair it with their cold sake, especially the Nigori, and you've got yourself a perfect combo. If there's one thing holding this place back, it's the service. Initial orders come out fine, but once you've got your food and drink, it's like you've entered witness protection (good luck getting noticed again.) A little more attentiveness would take this location from "solid choice" to "standout favorite."

    Pan fried pork buns , sweet-and-sour cucumber & chicken and vegetable wontons in chicken soup
    Alana M.

    I ordered two of the must haves pan fried pork buns, and sweet-and-sour cucumber. The sweet-and-sour cucumber was okay but the pork buns I felt were underwhelming. I liked the chicken and vegetable wontons in chicken soup. Friendly staff Update: my coworker also went to Dough Zone and she really liked the sweet and sour cucumber.

    Another great meal! Just Corina and I this time although we ordered like Randy was with us so we have leftovers lol. We ordered the green onion pancake, the Chinese crepe, Pork & Crab Meat Xiao Long Bao, pan fried pork buns, chicken potstickers, broccoli with seafood sauce and romaine lettuce salad with sesame dressing. Everything was delicious and so full of flavor. Hopefully the leftovers will be good reheated! Excellent service - the people working here are so friendly.

    Ordered an array of food here on Door Dash delivery! The scallion pancakes and pork xiao long bao were great, but the fried rice, fried pork bun, and beef pancake roll were either a bit undercooked (fried rice, pork bun) or salty (beef). The pork and shrimp potstickers were as expected. The food was overall made quickly and as ordered. A solid spot overall!

I remember the days when you'd see them sitting at the corner table, hand-folding wontons right in front of you. They've gotten so busy now that they do it in the back, and if you don't time your visit right, be prepared to wait in a long line. This is my absolute go-to combo on a chilly day, and honestly, the best hangover cure: Wonton Noodle Soup, Cod Fish Congee, Chinese Broccoli, and Chinese Donuts (Youtiao).You cannot skip the donuts--they are a must! My personal ritual is adding a splash of pink vinegar and chili paste into the congee, dipping the donut in, and taking a huge bite. It's pure comfort that warms you up from the inside out and instantly heals a tired soul. My husband prefers the beef wonton noodle soup because it's rich and hearty, but I love the classic, clean flavor of the plain wonton soup with its seafood-based broth. A quick heads-up: The service is typical for an authentic, bustling Chinese restaurant--don't expect fancy fine-dining treatment, but the staff is genuinely friendly and efficient. Also, **it's CASH ONLY**, so come prepared! Among the handful of restaurants I've stayed loyal to for 20+ years, this spot holds a very special place in my heart. Highly recommended!

My girlfriend and I stopped in before a flight, which in hindsight was a mistake. We ordered around 12:30 PM (niku beef udon, garlic pork udon, and chicken karaage), and it took nearly an hour to receive everything. The karaage came out first after about 40 minutes, then one udon about 10 minutes later, and the final dish close to an hour after ordering. Because of this, we weren't able to eat together unless one of us let our food go cold. On top of that, the restaurant itself was uncomfortably cold, which made the long wait feel even worse. It also seemed like many other tables were experiencing similar issues--orders coming out at different times or missing entirely, with customers having to repeatedly follow up. What stood out most was the lack of communication. There was no acknowledgment of the delays, no check-ins, and no apology--not when the food was dropped off, and not even when we left. Given that we had to pay upfront and the price point was $20+ per bowl, it made the experience feel even more disappointing. While the portions were decent and the noodles seemed handmade, the food itself didn't feel particularly special to justify the wait or cost. I truly hope this feedback is helpful. With better timing, communication, and overall service, I think the experience could be much better.

The sayap ayam pedas was a huge portion for just 2 people, but we couldn't stop eating. The combination of soy sauce and fish sauce was not overpowering at all and the chicken itself was so juicy. The chicken curry in the nasi lemak was delicious with the coconut rice. Along with the anchovies, egg, peanuts, and sambal, it was a choose-your-own-adventure kind of bite. The kaya toast was the perfectly sweet dish to balance out all the flavors. I especially loved dipping it in the poached egg for a satisfyingly runny bite.

This place is a true gem, serving satisfying, delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere at an affordable price. The restaurant looks small from the front, but space is used efficiently and they manage to fit quite a bit of seating into not that large of a dining room. Tables are mostly four tops, quite spacious at that, and surrounded by sturdy wooden chairs. I came for dinner on a Friday evening and there were a few other tables at any given time. Service was quick and our water never ran empty. We had the wontons in hot oil, topped with peanuts, I had the beef chow fun, and my dinner buddy had the pork with hot sauce noodles. The wontons are very very good, stuffed with flavorful pork and swimming in a sauce that sits in that perfect spot at the intersection of hot and sour. The peanuts and scallions add a delightful crunch. Their beef chow fun satisfies every bit of childhood nostalgia I have for this dish, with lots of wok hei, bouncy noodles, and the most tender of beef. I think my favorite beef chow fun in the city still lives at A+ Hong Kong Kitchen, but this is a close second. The portion here is also huge. I am a human vacuum and I actually brought leftovers home, which is rare for me. The pork with hot sauce noodles is seemingly a fusion of zha jiang mian and dan dan noodles. My friend really enjoyed it and actually finished the whole thing, which is saying something given that she doesn't usually eat that much.

When we went in, it was pretty empty. We were immediately sat, and ordered. The hot jasmine tea quickly followed.

I quickly surrendered as he does stab people...see above...he parried my fork and stabbed the last piece before quickly finishing the move. Our mains came out shortly after we finished the calamari.

The wife scoffed at the idea that there's such a thing as too much chili oil and ate some of his soup. This was after she dug into her hot pot. I did get a chance to sample the delicate pork pieces and the flavorful rice. The slightly crispy rice at the bottom of the pot were so delicious. I had the Singapore style fried noodles. Really tasty. The noodles had so many flavors from the vegetables to the meats (shrimp, chicken meat & egg, and pork) and the sauce.
