    Romaine Lettuce Salad with sweet and spicy garlic dressing
    Nami N.

    We stopped by Dough Zone Dumplings for lunch--it had been a while since our last visit. There is parking available around the building where the restaurant is located. It was around 1 PM on a Monday, so the restaurant wasn't too crowded, probably because it was a weekday. To use the restroom, you need to ask a staff member for a key--it's located outside to the left at the back. The interior is simple and clean, which makes for a comfortable dining atmosphere. You order by marking the items you want on a paper menu using a pen, which is convenient and easy. We ordered the pork and crab soup dumplings, pan-fried pork and shrimp dumplings, romaine lettuce salad with sweet and spicy garlic dressing, and dan dan noodles. We also chose herbal tea to go with our meal. The pork and crab soup dumplings had great flavor in the broth, though they were a bit small in size. The pan-fried dumplings were crispy and savory--I could easily eat a lot of them! Next time, I'd like to try some other noodles and vegetable dishes.

    lettuce with sesame dressing - how it came to the table
    Jane P.

    I was so disappointed by my last visit at Dough Zone which makes me sad because I used to love coming here. I made a reservation for a large party as we were gathering with many friends, but when we all arrived and got seated, they informed us that they were out of pork xiao long baos! I would be more sympathetic if we were there close to closing but this was at 6:30pm on a Wednesday so that was super disappointing. Since we were a larger party, we decided to order by table and although we ordered around the same time, our tables got our food at very different times. At one point, our table had 75% of our order while our other friend's right next to us had not received any of their food yet. Also, the general portion sizes seem to have shrunk since the last time I visited. When we got our lettuce salad, it was very underwhelming with a majority of the pieces being the crunchier parts near the root and barely any leafy pieces. It also came out super messy like they had tossed it altogether in the bowl they brought it out. The pork wontons also used to be my favorite dish but when they came to the table, they were so small! The actual meat portion for each wonton was so tiny - it felt like the wonton was 30% filling and 70% skin. Our table ended up spending almost $40 per person (4 ppl) but we were still hungry after finishing everything we ordered. That being said, all the servers were very helpful and kind so kudos to them. They did their best to accommodate us and keep our waters filled and I can't fault them for the disappointment over the food. Hoping we just came on an off day because I'm not ready to say goodbye to Dough Zone yet, but we left thinking we should have gone to Supreme Dumpling instead.

    Really solid selection of dumpling dishes, including a very good version of pork soup dumplings (xiao long bao). The three of us came here on a Tuesday holiday for lunch (after checking to make sure they were open). It wasn't too crowded inside and we got seated right away. Water was brought immediately, and one paper menu with pen was given to make our choices (similar to a dim sum place). One thing to notice right away was that everything was under ten dollars (with most under eight), encouraging one to try different things since most are shareable. That's what we did, and most it was quite good. Beef-stew Noodle Soup ($9.95) - on the smaller side but definitely appropriate for the price, with a bit weak beef broth (flavored with star anise and other chinese spices) that was oily. It used small chunks of beef with a lot of gristle around (probably from the shank), which I think is the absolute best cut of beef for this dish). The noodles were OK. Definitely satisfying considering the Seattle winter weather. Pork Xiao Long Bao ($9.25 each) - comes in eights and are the typical (smaller) size. It was expertly handmade, which makes the price very reasonable. Interestingly, the pork and crab version is the same price (which if one frequents DTF knows is unusual). The skin was thin with the top not too thick, the pork sausage inside was flavorful and the soup gelatin was tasty. It's a very good version of XLB, and deserved the two steamer baskets that we got (and devoured) Chinese Crepe ($7.15) - this was a special, with a egg and flour batter wrapping around crispy won-ton chips, covered in a dark house special sauce. It looked interesting (and I love omelets) so worth a taste, but we wouldn't get it again. Pork & Shrimp Potstickers, pan fried ($7.15) - probably my favorite dish this time. Definitely worth the pan fried style, with a beautiful dumpling 'skirt'...beautiful to look at, and enjoyable to eat too. The pork filling is consistently good here. Q-Bao: pan fried pork buns (9.95) - really interesting...combines the dough and breadiness of a chinese bao, with the filling of a potsticker, and then having the bottom pan fried. It was OK. One thing I really like about Dough Zone are the simple accoutrements at the table: soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil...all high quality. For the soup dumplings, little ramekins of ginger are given, but instead of it being sliced, the ginger is crushed, letting it mix even better. My wife really likes it with the XLB, and will ask for it at other places...so far, Dough Zone is the only place that does it like this. Service was OK throughout. It was well staffed, and they weren't very busy so food came out right away hot. They did finally refill the water towards the end of the meal. Paying was at the table and was quick and easy. Founded in 2014 in Bellevue, WA, this is one of two locations in Bellevue (and one of fourteen in WA). There are also three locations in OR, five in NorCal, and four in the Houston, TX area. One of the benefits of having so many locations close together in the Seattle area: can optimize the consistency of the product by prepping much of it in a central place, which reduces costs as well (which I believe is passed down to the customer). There is a lot of competition for this type of cuisine in this area...Dough Zone's continued expansion seems to indicate they are doing things right.

    Extremely crowded parking as there are many restaurants and grocery stores in the area. Got seated quickly and ordered the cucumber appetizer, pork xiao long bao, beef noodle soup, beef green onion pancake. All the food was delicious but service as a bit slow. Very clean and well lit restaurant with many tables for seating.

    Pand fried Vegetable pot stickers
    Poojitha a.

    We ordered pan-fried vegetable pot stickers, vegetarian spicy (Ma La) noodles, and ube milk tea. Everything was good. The dumplings were delicious, probably the best part of the meal. The noodles were also very tasty. It was my first time trying ube milk tea, which has a sweet potato flavor. I liked it, but I think it might not be for everyone. I would definitely visit again for the dumplings and to try some other items on the menu. Service was also good.Order arrived approximately in 15 min. Ordering was hassle-free; you just had to check off your selections on a menu copy. Here are the prices for the items we ordered: - Pan-fried vegetable pot stickers: $7.15 - Vegetarian spicy (Ma La) noodles: $7.75 - Ube milk tea: $5.95 Spend per person is around $10-$20. Free parking is available, which is convenient.

    Family favorite dumpling place! They even have a Yelp waitlist which helps to understand the wait time. Friendly staff and lots of parking (though the parking has become a challenge with new restaurants and groceries nearby!) we have tried almost everything that fits our palate! here are some of our favorites! 1. Xiao Long Bao - Of course! these soup dumplings are at the top of our list. We order the chicken soup dumplings which creates a taste explosion of warm soup & ground chicken as you put the entire dumpling in your mouth. House favorite! 2. Chicken & Vegetable wontons in Chilli sauce - another house favorite. these soft dumplings swimming in a chilli sauce is delicious. 3. Chicken & Vegetable wontons in chicken broth - this is like a mild pho with chicken wontons. love the flavored chicken broth. 4. Yi Bin Noodles - These noodles with Umami flavor are soft and tasty. 5. Dan Dan Noodles - the numbing noodles. one of a kind, your entire mouth feels little numb after having these noodles. strangely, you keep eating more as its really flavorful and delicious. and the below are something that i tried but would not go back for these! 1. Onion Pancake - its a crispy pancake with green onion, scallions and fluffy! 2. Jianbing Guo Zi - This is something new & limited to certain locations including this one. It was different texture & taste. Its egg & a flour batter mix which gives it a unique crispy and omelet texture. 3. Chicken pot stickers - these are pan fried dumplings. These are little dry to my liking. 4. Chicken & Vegetable wontons with hot & sour sauce - the only difference is the hot & sour sauce is very spicy to my taste and prefer the chilli sauce. 5. Spicy Ma La Noodle - like the Yi Bin better than this. this has an extreme spice level to my liking!

    A wonderful experience with good service and great food! We had a group of 3 and came here on a weekday around 7pm with pretty much no wait! Lots of parking in the lot available and this location is in a little mall plaza area. We were seated right away. They give you a paper and pencil where you can mark what you want to order. We got the cucumber, beef pancake, sesame noodle dish, xiao long bao, pork steamed dumpling, pan fried dumpling. Everything was delicious. For me, the cucumber, soup dumpking, and pan-fried dumplings were the highlights of my meal. I didn't really like the beef pancake but my husband did. Overall, a great spot!

    It was our first time coming to this Dough Zone location tonight, we've been to the one on Main St. in Downton Bellevue before. We decided to come to this location because the parking's better since it's located in a shopping center. We ordered the spicy beef sandwich, pork soup dumplings, chicken and vegetable wontons with chili sauce, pork wontons with chili sauce, romaine lettuce with sweet spicy garlic dressing, sweet and sour cucumber, dan dan noodles, onion soy sauce noodles, and finally the banana naan bread for dessert. The food was very tasty and had great flavor, we enjoyed it all but wished it was hotter. All of our hot dishes were warm at best and not hot which was unfortunate. The vegetables were nice and crispy and fresh though. The banana naan bread is absolutely delicious too and the perfect end to a meal. The service was just alright and below average. Nothing special at all and could be a lot better. The staff pretty much only came by to give us our food and didn't see much of them besides then and when we paid. The ambiance is okay here. Definitely a casual spot, I like the location in Downtown Bellevue way more. The floors were pretty dirty with crumbs and scraps of food. Didn't seem like the busser wiped down/cleaned tables enough too. We unfortunately probably won't be back to this Dough Zone. Wish our experience was better than it was tonight.

    Xiao Long Bao (Pork)
    Emmaly N.

    The service was good, we were seated immediately and the food came out pretty fast. We ordered xiao long bao, pan fried buns, cucumber salad, tan tan noodles, and spicy wontons. The xiao long bao was good, it had a nice flavor to it. The pan fried buns were kind of hard on the outside, the inside was good though. The cucumber salad was average, the sauce wasnt as spicy or flavorful as we expected. The spicy wonton order was smaller than we expected, and it needed more chili oil. Overall, the food was okay. Supreme dumplings has bigger portions and better flavor if you want to try out these dishes!

    Lizzy L.

    Absolutely obsessed with Dough Zone. They have the best Dan Dan noodles I've ever had and it pairs super well with the Mango Green Tea! The textures for the noodles are delightful and I love the soup dumplings and potstickers. The cucumbers are super refreshing and light and you also can't go wrong with the beef pancake roll! Service can be a bit slow but they are super friendly. Ambiance is nice and bright with a cozy feeling. Highly recommend coming here if you want great food at great prices?

    We stumbled across this store based on reviews but also got a recommendation to it from a stranger on the street Food/Taste/Flavor: 5/5 - so GOOD!!! We've been in areas without good Asian food in a while so not only did it satisfy our cravings, it was just so delicious overall Pork Xiao Long Bao was juicy and had such a nice texture for the bao. Little delicious bites of soupyness with a side of vinegar and ginger to clean your palate for the next bite Pork & Shrimp Pot Stickers had a really nice fry with crispy bottoms. The dumpling itself was okay but the outside texture was wonderful Marinated Pig Ear was one of the more finely sliced version of the dish we've seen but we really enjoy the texture and love that the pieces were marinated all the way through rather than just the flavoring on the outside. Slight kick but the SO added even more chili oil to get to his liking Noodle with Minced Pork has such good flavoring and the noodles were cooked perfectly to have a nice bite without being overly chewy Beef-Stew Noodles has the flavoring and smell even without the soup. The noodles were cooked well also and the beef was so tender it practically melts in your mouth. It was the perfect portion size to complement the other dishes Ambience: 5/5 - crowded parking lot so may have to drive around to find a spot. Open windows so we can imagine a lot of natural lighting during the day. Simple design with lots of space between tables. Very bright lighting Service: 5/5 - we arrived around 8:15 PM with a closing time of 9 but they were still willing to seat and serve us. Service was quick but still friendly and we didn't feel rushed at all during the meal... but we also inhaled the food :3 Value for price: 5/5 - great and speedy service, and absolutely delicious food. Expect to get 2-3 dishes per person and it's great to have a slightly bigger group so you get to try a bit of everything

    The food was tasty. The environment is ok. People are nice. But the way of ordering is different. You circle the items on the menu and the waiter will pick them up. If you want to order anything after, you tell the server. Confusing

    Spicy beef sandwich
    Devin D.

    We went yesterday, and we were very disappointed with the food, service, and ambiance. We have gone to the Dough Zone in downtown Bellevue and had a great time. However, this one is not up to the same quality. We got the spicy beef sandwich, Chicken & Vegetables wontons, pork soup dumplings, sweet and sour cucumber, romaine lettuce with sweet & spicy garlic dressings, onion soy noodles, Dan Dan noodles, pork wontons with chili sauce, and banana naan bread. The food was delicious and flavorful but could have been warmer. The service was not great. They were slow and didn't check in on us during our whole meal. Our waters needed to be filled, and when we asked for help, the workers seemed annoyed. The ambiance is really dirty at this place; the table and seats were sticky. The bathroom was very gross and not taken care of, and everything looked outdated in the restaurant. Overall, this Dough Zone does not live up to others and needs significant changes. I would not go back to this location.

    Shanghai House has been on my to-try list for quite some time, as Chinese restaurants on Eastside…read moreare usually pretty solid - I grew up eating Shanghai food, so I was excited to stop by and see how it is done in the greater Bellevue area. We went on a Wednesday around 6:30pm and had no wait to get seated. The restaurant has parking that is shared with many other vendors along a line, and I can definitely foresee parking becoming a issue during busy hours as there aren't a ton of parking spots - just to note during peak business hours. We were the only diners during our visit, so service was focused entire on us - I personally felt that the service could have been better as the waitress made us feel a bit rushed when ordering. The ambiance is casual dine in, with Chinese inspired decor. The lighting was a little bit off as it was pretty dim with a fluorescent color - unfortunately felt a bit like they were at closing time with the ambiance vibes. We ordered three dishes, which I'll review down below: Lions Head Meatballs ($25): I've had lion's head meatballs at another Chinese establishment on Eastside, and these are decent meatballs in comparison for very slightly cheaper. Tender and nice light flavor, it is nice that they are supplemented with bok choy as they are quite hearty. Salted Egg and Shrimp Tofu ($20): I think this was my favorite dish out of the three. Better quantity and the salted egg gives a nice creamy and subtle savory flavor, and goes nicely with rice. Tofu is cooked well, and there is a small scattering of shrimp throughout the plate. Shanghai Style Braised Kaofu ($15): A cold Shanghai kaofu is a classic dish that I've tried many times, and I think a restaurant should serve if they are Shanghainese. The kaofu has nice flavor - not too sweet and not too salty with a pleasing spongey texture. I only wished that the quantity was bigger for $15 - the spoon for scale really gives the impression of how large the plate was, and underneath the initial layer of kaofu you see in the picture, there unfortunately wasn't any more, just other components like bamboo shoots and woodear. Though most of the dishes had good flavor, the pricing was steep considering the amount of food you get for the price you pay. I left still feeling a bit hungry as Shanghai dishes are usually lighter and don't fill you up as much. Though there aren't too many other Shanghai restaurants to compare to on Eastside, I'll probably put Shanghai House at like a 3.5/5 in all things considered.

    Only Shanghai restaurant in Seattle area. Have many very shanghai dishes. But they moved to this…read moremuch smaller place, so that it seems the options of dishes are less than before. I recommend to dine in, the dishes take-out is not as good as fresh cooked. Some dishes are pricey. But this is the only Shanghai restaurant, so we have no choice. Free Parking. Service is good. this restaurant has been remodeled so it's better than soft-opening.

It is a little on the salty side, though. They also have a few vegetarian options, and my lunch buddy had the vegetarian 99 noodle with fried tofu and really enjoyed it.

Highly recommend!

    Noodle Nine delivers a genuinely authentic dining experience that feels like stepping into a slice…read moreof everyday Asia rather than a polished, commercialized version of it. From the moment you walk in, the cultural atmosphere stands out--many of the patrons are Asian, and on my visit, a few were even dressed in traditional garments, which added a vibrant, lived-in feel to the space. It's the kind of detail you can't manufacture, and it speaks volumes about the restaurant's credibility within the community. The interior itself is fairly average--nothing particularly modern or upscale--but it doesn't detract from the experience. If anything, it keeps the focus where it belongs: on the food. Service was a bit of a mixed bag. There were only two servers handling the floor, and they were clearly stretched thin. Ordering is done digitally, which helps streamline things, but you can still feel the strain during peak times. That said, the food started arriving quickly--our tofu noodle dish came out almost immediately, while the beef dish lagged behind a bit. Presentation leans traditional in a charming way. The plates and chopsticks have that classic, no-frills aesthetic that complements the overall vibe of the restaurant. Now, let's talk about the food. First, a word of caution: spice levels here are no joke. If you're sensitive to heat, you'll want to dial it down. But if you can handle it, the flavors are absolutely worth it--rich, bold, and deeply satisfying. The tofu was exceptionally soft, almost silky, and clearly freshly prepared. The noodles matched that texture perfectly--tender, well-cooked, and comforting. Pricing is another strong point. For the quality and portion sizes, it's very reasonable, making it an easy spot to revisit without hesitation. Overall, Nine Noodles is a great pick if you're looking for authentic flavors, a culturally immersive atmosphere, and solid value. It's not about fancy decor or polished service--it's about good, honest food. I'd definitely come back.

    This is closer to a 3.5 than a 4, a decent experience…read more I came here a couple weeks ago for lunch and have been curious about the place since it was in the same area as Zhangliang malatang and had a good amount of people inside. The space is small and a little narrow, so seating can be pretty limited. My parents and I were lucky enough to grab the last table, and we ordered 4 items: the dry noodle with scallion oil and braised pork chop, the secret dumplings, large wonton, and salty soy milk (dumplings and wonton aren't pictured). I was most curious and most disappointed by the scallion noodle and pork chop. The portion size seemed too small to justify its price point, and I felt the pork chop tasted dry. The noodles however, had a great flavor, so if I were to try the place again, I'd only go for the scallion oil noodles. The dumplings were amazing. They were a little pricey but worth the cost, and worth the restaurant name. The dumplings were larger than most dumpling places I've been to, and the meat and soup inside were super flavorful. The wontons were also good, though it can't beat the pan fried dumplings. The salty soy milk was a very unique experience- it was thicker, rich and flavorful than other salty soy milk soups that I'm used to. It almost has an umami, seafood-ish taste to it. Though I'm not a big fan of soy milk, I enjoyed this dish more than expected! After our meal, we got to choose some magnets to take home, which was a creative and sweet gift. For the overall price point, I don't think I'd be coming here regularly for a meal. I may drop by for choice items like the pan fried dumplings!

    This is the definition of a no frills place. Don't expect much in the way of vibes or service, but…read morethe food is very flavorful and the wontons are juicy and you can see them hand wrapping them in the front of the restaurant. We got a combo with their pan fried dumplings, wonton soup, and a tea egg (which was SO good), and then a plate of the pan fried wontons which were my favorite. We would both recommend the pan fried wontons way over the pan fried dumplings. There is plenty of parking and you just have to walk in and order with a QR code and then pay at the front when you're done. I didn't try their noodles as they seemed a bit expensive. I would return for the tea egg and wontons!
