Solid 3.5-4/5. If you're a westerner looking for a place to try Taiwanese Chinese food, this would be a perfect landing spot. If you're ethnic Chinese/Asian looking for true Taiwanese food that'll give you a ratatouille moment, this isn't it. We went on a weekend late night dinner and the place was decently full. We were the only Asians there and the rest of the patrons were Westerners. That should tell you everything you need to know. Ambiance and service was 5/5. Very clean, hip restaurant in a safe part of Seattle. Perfect for a date. More than half of the wait staff was Chinese as were all the kitchen staff from what we could tell, so if you spoke mainly Chinese, you'd be fine and they would be familiar with Taiwanese food. Portion sizes are smaller and pricing matches, respectfully, so you can try different things. I'd say as an adult, you could order a couple plates and you'd be more than full. Food was 3.5-4. Sorry, I can't confidently rate it any higher than a 4. We had to try the beef noodle soup 3.5/5. Broth was good. Vegetables were romaine lettuce which wasn't authentic, but fine. Beef was definitely on the leaner side and definitely tougher (maybe because it was so lean), so maybe this was to cater to western tastes? Noodles were ok... too similar to ramen for our tastes... and that was a comment several of us made, independently. Onion pancake was 3.5/5. Meh, nothing too exciting. Beef sandwich was a dud. 2.5/5. Skip. It was like they took an onion pancake and used it for the roll/skin... pretty oily. Vegetables were just chopped lettuce. No cucumbers or cilantro from my memory, but it's been a few days so maybe I'm not remembering correctly. We also had different xao-long baos (they only had one pork left), cold peanut butter/cucumber noodles, dumplings, spicy cold cucumbers... and they were all 3.5-4ish. Nothing crazy. In the end, again, if you're looking to just get a broad taste of Taiwanese food, this is it. If you're looking to get a genuine taste of Taiwan, this isn't it. read more

Food always on point. Always a crowd pleaser. Purchased for office and all enjoyed soup dumplings, pop stickers and cucumber appetizers was enough for 6 people. read more

We stopped by for dinner before a Summer Concert at Kent Station on Wednesday night. It was not busy. Inside is modern, simple, and spacious. Service is good, our waiter gave some recommendations and refilled our water. My only complain is I added a dish towards the end of the meal, it never came, so I ended up getting it to-go. Food I recommend: +Cucumber salad (4 out of 5 stars) - good knife skills which makes it visually pleasing, but not easy to eat (requires cutting the whole cucumber into smaller pieces). It's sweet, and slightly sour. The chili oil gives it a nice fragrance. +Spicy beef wrapped in green onion pancake (4/5) - there is a good amount of thinly sliced beef, pretty tasty and filling. +Pork and Crab Xiao Long Bao (4 out of 5 stars) - a good amount of soup, has a subtly seafood taste from the crab. +Steamed shrimp and zucchini dumplings (3.5/5) - very mild filling, opposite of fatty, subtle sweetness from the zucchini. Tip: don't bother with the online wait-list, it didn't work for me, and it wasn't necessary on weekdays read more

We came here for lunch before catching a movie nearby. Upon entering the restaurant, it was bright and spacious with plenty of tables. We were given a paper menu to fill out what to order. There is also a QR code menu on the table for pictures of the items. I've been to Dough Zone at numerous locations so I knew what each items were. We decided to order the pork Xiao long bao, pan fried q-baos, pork wontons in chili sauce and their banana naan bread. Overall, each dish came out fast and piping hot. Food is consistent compare to their other locations. I do like having this location conveniently located at Kent Station where you can catch a meal before or after a movie. I will come back to this location when I'm around the area. read more

The service was excellent, friendly and attentive. We got right in and sat for a weekend lunch. It was neat that they were offering a free bottled Coke Cola if you followed them on Instagram. Sadly I felt that the food was mediocre. Every dish/plate/entree was about $7.50 each but you need at least 2 dishes to fill you up for a light/medium meal. We ordered Dan Dan Noodles (not very spicy) 5/10 in flavor. They tasted just like ramen noodles with fish sauce and chili oil. We also ordered Pork Soup Dumplings which were a 6/10. I shouldn't say it but Din Tai Fung is so much better for dumplings. And Pork Wontons in Chili Sauce 7/10. They were slurpy and tasted great but the portion was small. Overall I probably won't be back because there are other restaurants with better tasting dumplings at a similar price. read more

The server was super polite and helped me with ordering. Personally the price is too high here for what you get. I wanted to try so many things but fiscally it's not smart to eat here alone, bring a friend. The soup dumplings burnt my lip but that's my fault for being so hungry and impatient. But yeah, give it time to cool! Don't be like me lol. The music was really nice here, definitely a date worthy spot imo. The only think keeping this from a 4 star review is the high prices. You really dont get much for $23, I left still pretty hungry. read more

Dough Zone Dumpling House - Kent - Soup dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Kent, Washington

We tried Dough Zone for the first time today and we would go again. Chicken Xiou Long Bao- soup dumplings were good, but not as "soup" filled as DTF. Spicy Chicken boiled wontons were good, a bit sweet for my liking. Spicy Chili sauce MaLa noodles were yummy-- recommended. Overall I prefer DTF - but the price at Dough zone is better and that would be a draw for a second visit. read more

Great experience at Dough Zone in Kent Station. The dumplings were fresh, juicy, and full of flavor. Everything came out quickly and tasted great. The service was especially excellent -- the staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything went smoothly even during busy hours. The restaurant was clean and well organized. Definitely one of the best spots for dumplings in the area. I will be coming back again! read more

I didn't know what to expect here, but it is pretty good! The place was busy, but we were seated quickly. They gave us plenty of time to look over the menu. Since this was my first time here, I sampled a few things. I chose the green onion pancakes, beef sandwich, and Dan Dan noodles. The noodles were my favorite, although I didn't feel they were spicy at all. My second favorite was the green onion pancakes. Actually, everyone that had some ended up liking them. The beef sandwich was good, but was a little bit tough, chewy, and fatty for me. I also tried my partner's gyoza and wontons. Whatever the sauce or broth was that came with the wontons was amazing. No pics this time, I was famished! read more

From the time we walked in, we were greeted and sat down without much weight. This was the first time I had been to the restaurant. The kind waitress gave me some recommendations and I chosen them.

The staff was courteous and I plan to go again. read more

Food was decent. Service was friendly but slow. I don't enjoy having to constantly ask for things rather than the server being quick to see what's needed. Wasn't super busy or anything. Today they did not have any rice dishes on menu yet. Also no veggie dishes. Hopefully they'll have ready in a few weeks. read more

Humpty Dumplings! This place serves up small dishes of all types of dumplings. It's like a Dim Sum of various dumpling dishes and served noodle dishes. Once you start you can't stop the flow of plates and steam baskets. read more

All of the food here is BUSSIN. You can't go here and not get soup dumplings, steamed buns, and Dan Dan noodles. The server was very friendly and good at making room on our table for the ridiculous amount of food my wife and two friends ordered. You cannot go wrong here. Try it for yourself. read more

Yum! Delicious food and very kind and helpful service. It was a fun adventure and we will definitely be back. It was warm and inviting inside. The previous restaurant in that location was always freezing lol. No booths, only beer and sake, but definitely try them out. We went between lunch and dinner, so it wasn't as busy. Thank you Dough Zone for a great afternoon! read more

Xiao Long Baos are decent, nowhere near Din Tai Fungs level....Service was not good at all....after the food was brought out no one came to check on me to see if I needed anything. Even after I was done with my meal I sat for another 10 minutes and no one came up. Finally had to get up and walk up and ask for a Togo container....i normally tip 20-25% at every place I eat but the service was so bad I had to give them 0% today...I paid for the food because that's what I got..:didn't tip because the service was not there... read more

Food was good and made fresh. Service on the other hand seems to be lacking in both common sense & attentiveness. Wife & daughter ordered hot water being chilly from the weather. Server proceeded to bring regular plastic beverage cups and pour the hot water in them, which instantly made the cups extremely hot to the touch. At which point we requested tea cups or a mug. Also on the service side, our server spent the bulk of her time on her phone rather than being attentive at her work. Having to wave frenetically or loudly saying "excuse me" wore thin pretty quickly. And lastly, when you order the cold noodle dish with sesame sauce, and it comes out hot, might have to have a chat with the staff about paying attention. Overall service could be better, but food was good. read more

We enjoyed the Dough Zone near South Center Mall, in the Target parking lot. Food was fast, pretty good, and reasonably priced.

I love this place!!! I come here all the time and the employees are always so sweet! and I always get the beef stew noodle and it's sooo delicious read more

Pretty terrible experience overall. A lot of the dumplings seemed old and dried out, which was really disappointing. The noodles were probably the best thing we had, but even those seemed like it was just Top Ramen. They forgot part of our order, then we were told the kitchen was closing and were brought our check, yet they still tried to bring out part of our order while we were trying to checking out. The whole experience felt very rushed. read more

We were really sad to see Trapper's close after so many years in Kent Station. However, we were excited to see that Dough Zone was taking its place. We've been to plenty of other locations around Washington and in Portland. This restaurant is a great place to get your dumpling fix. Especially in the Kent area where the dumpling scene is lacking. Is it as good as Din Tai? Many will argue no. But take into consideration cost and value. Dough Zone might not be as higher end as Din Tai, but it reflects in its pricing. We appreciate how quick the service is. It's a nice spot to run in before a movie or a bite to eat afterwards. The restaurant is clean and spacious. read more

Decided to try takeout for dough zone after a nail appointment in Kent station. Was hoping for quick service however my order took over 20 minutes. In my opinion too long for takeout. If you're in a hurry I don't recommend ordering take out but perhaps if you're not in a rush it wouldn't be a problem for dine in. read more

Food is full of flavor and service top notch. Highly recommend. Love the varieties. Something for everyone.

I liked it! I heard that it was like din tai fung and it was very similar. The prices were a bit cheaper but you got less food. I am really glad that I had already gone to din tai before because they didn't explain how to order using the sheet or how to eat the soup dumplings. They also didn't come around to the table often but the food was delicious. Very clean bathroom. read more

I love Dough Zone. My husband and I regularly have driven from Tacoma to Renton to get Dough Zone or grab it when we are in the city. We were excited to see a Kent location as I work nearby. We went in and added our names to the waitlist. With a 35-45 minute wait, we walked around. After over an hour our place on the list never changed. No one ahead of us got sat. There were just empty tables and staff standing around. I was annoyed because it was cold and I was hungry. So we went to Mama Stortini's and had a great meal. Just follow up with the wait list! Why else would there be an electronic waitlist?!?! I guess we will go to other locations. read more
