The food is consistent and great. Always get what I order and the staff provides exceptional service. The wait times are short depending when you go (don't come for dinnertime it is packed by six o'clock). The noodles are a mainstay and I recommend the beef shank if you are looking to venture into something new. read more

How would I rate my experience? I have no words. One meal at dough zone had me questioning my entire marriage with my husband Brett. The Dan Dan noodles brought me more happiness than Brett has in our last 5 years. Oh and don't get me started on the fried rice. Or dumplings. I don't know what is going to be more memorable when I'm old: the day I married Brett or my visit to Dough Zone. It's that serious. read more

I went to this dumpling house expecting good dumplings. Spoiler - the dumplings were good. I've been to dough zone a couple of times and ordered various dumplings, and never been disappointed by anything. You really can't go wrong with any of the dumplings here. Xiao long bao are my (and many peoples) favorite, but they're all good. Service is always friendly and fast, and I've never struggled to find a spot to sit by myself or in a small group. Come get your dumpling fix! read more

Food came very quickly Food is all ok but nothing was great or amazing. The dough on the beef pancake felt too doughy. The fried pork bun, the bottom could be fried more. We used to love dough zone but each time we just feel disappointed. For a place that is named "DOUGH zone" I wish the dough part was better. We came because we got the Costco $80 for $100 gift cards and they had an additional (I forgot if it's) $5-10 off. Without the gift card I wouldn't have came... but we used to love dough zone back a few years ago... did food quality go down? Especially the dough part... read more

My co workers and I stopped here for lunch. Friendly staff and we were quickly seated and taken care of. I got the passion fruit green tea and it was delicious! If you like sweet drinks definitely try it. So yummy and refreshing. We got a cucumber salad, chicken dumplings, chicken potstickers and vegetable pot stickers. The food came out quickly and fresh. Such great service! First time trying dough zone and I would come back if I ever find myself in seattle again. read more

Great food, but absolutely unacceptable customer service. This is approximately my third visit to Dough Zone at Renton Landing, and unfortunately, the service continues to disappoint. Today, I ordered several dishes and received only part of my order. For approximately 10 minutes, I watched employees check on surrounding tables while completely ignoring mine. I repeatedly said "excuse me" to get someone's attention, but employees continued walking past. When I finally flagged someone down, they brought another dish and said the rest was coming. Another five minutes went by without a single check-in. I eventually stood up and asked for to-go containers because I was tired of feeling invisible. When I expressed my frustration, the employee explained that my food wasn't ready. That's not the point! A simple acknowledgment or update would have made all the difference. What really bothered me was that when I explained this was a recurring experience, the employee simply responded, "Have a good day." No apology. No concern. No attempt to make things right. I love Dough Zone's food, but nobody should have to feel ignored or unwelcome while paying to dine at a restaurant. At this point, I'd rather order delivery than experience this kind of service again. Very disappointing. read more

This was my first time trying the Dough Zone. The restaurant is nice, and the atmosphere was clean and inviting. The service was good and our server was very friendly. We tried a variety of items. The Green Onion Pancakes were delicious. The Spicy beef sandwich was good as well. We had an order of the Five Spice Beef Shank - for me, the beef was a little tough, but the spices were good. The Chicken wontons were good, but were served cold - I'm not sure if that is normal or not. I would have preferred them hot. We also ordered some noodles which were tasty. We rounded it off with an order of the steamed Broccoli which was really good - crunchy with a hint of spice to it. Overall, I enjoyed most of the meal and I'd try this restaurant again. read more

Xiao Long Bao lovers, this is the spot! If Din Tai Fung is all about clean, consistent flavors, this place has that extra punch of soul and depth. Think of it as a place with more "handmade charm." If you want a nice ambiance and polished service, go to Din Tai Fung. If you're after something more casual, flavorful, and budget-friendly -- come here. The service is just okay (neither great nor bad), and the interior isn't anything special, but the food is really good. Honestly, I think their xiao long bao and cucumber appetizer taste even better than Din Tai Fung's. We usually order the Dan Dan noodles and the shrimp & pork potstickers, but today we tried the steamed version -- juicy and delicious! The Q bao is my husband's favorite. They also serve black bean noodles (jajangmyeon), but that one's a miss for me. There are several Dozone locations around Seattle, and the flavor can vary slightly by branch. read more

Although the food came out very fast. By the end of the day we feel sick from it, don't know if the food was cooked properly (Pan fried wontons & xio long baos) . I've been ordering the same thing from dough zone my whole life never felt ill from it. And the service here was not great even tho it was not busy.. took forever to get a box and the check, our waiter kept walking the other way when we were trying to get her attention after already waiting 20 mins to ask for a box. Would not come back to this location read more

I have taken some of my friends and family here a few times that I thought its about time I leave a review. When you arrive, you either enter your name in for a waitlist if its busy or if they have availability they will seat you right away even if your whole party is not there yet. They will give you a menu to order off of and you can order as many quantities as you need. They also give you as much time as you need so no rush. Once done, they give you to-go boxes if needed but they dont usually rush us to leave unless they are getting busy and need seats. Overall, its decent for dumplings. Noodles are fine, dumplings are fine, drinks are fine, and the staff gives you your food at reasonable times. read more

Once again the dumplings were amazing . Also the cucumbers . The service was not so great . Had to ask for water and check

Dough Zone has been a staple local dumpling chain in the Seattle area similar to another popular international dumpling chain - but from what I've seen Dough Zone has been a more affordable option with similar quality. I've visited Dough Zone at many different locations and can confidently say that they've all been very consistent in their quality of food and their environment is all familiar. The Renton location isn't too different from the others, I do like that it's in an area filled with other activities and shopping, so this Dough Zone makes it convenient to grab a bite after being around in the area for a while. The Xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) are tasty and filled with warm soup. I prefer the pork and beef options over the other fillings. The pan-fried dumplings are good, the crispy outside gives for a satisfying bite. The flavour isn't anything special though. I thought the noodles were okay but my partner liked them. Always a solid place to eat, will come back again. read more

I absolutely recommend dough zone! Dough Zone is incredible! They have great vegetarian options as well! Dough zone has a relaxed, yet modern vibe. It is a bit noisy in there, especially on Saturday nights. The staff were very kind and very efficient. They provided quick and professional service. The food was great. We had delicious noodles, veggie pot stickers, and veggie steamed dumplings! They were all fresh and yummy and filled with flavor. I highly recommend dough zone, and if you are vegetarian, yes, they have a lot of vegetarian options! read more

I would like to give Xiner her flowers because she was nice, and actually spoke to us? Once we were seated no one spoke to us. No one greeted us and asked how we were doing. When my table asked for hot water there was no "can I get you anything else?" Not even and "ok". The hot water came in plastic cups? Idk about you but in my life time plastic and hot things don't really go together. I looked across the table and the table next to us got a cup that you would expect for hot water and a kennel. When we were done ordering we put it at the end, a few people walked by us and we actually waived someone down and handed it to a lady walking by - didn't review the order with us, just took it and left. Overall just feeling super disrespected. The staff also left a tray on the limited table and we took as many photos as we can, as documented as staff would come by and drop off food around the tray, and when there was no more space they started putting the food on the tray. When things finally started filling up we flagged someone down to grab the tray, we asked "can you take the tray"and he reached for the bamboo steamer, "oh and the tray" his response "yeah I know" and walked away. Why was everything a chore? Just so you know, the serving tray does not get washed as regularly as dishes. The food tastes like how the franchise intended. But when you walk away from a place where you're feeling like you never want to come back - how the food taste doesn't matter at that point. I've been to the dough zone in Bellevue and the experience is truely night and day. This group needs customer service training. read more

I had visited a Dough Zone in downtown Seattle a couple years ago and enjoyed it. A group of us ladies came out to this location for lunch. I like that their menu is available on line. You check off the items you want on a paper left at the table, a staff member comes and confirms your choices with you and brings your drinks order. As the name states, there is a lot of dough involved in your meal. Fried and boiled dumplings abound. So many options. The menu is pretty large and we all chose a couple of items. Food arrives as it is ready so the dishes, brought by food runners, rotated throughout our meal. First, we started with beverages. I went with a pot of hot jasmine tea. It was light and floral with a lovely scent and mild taste. Others in the group went with cold beverages, of which there are a several. The cold beverages arrived in lidded plastic cups with a straw. I did not try the soup dumplings but one of the ladies was able to let the rest of us know to not just bite into the hot dumpling or you would scald your mouth! Make a small hole with your teeth and gently sip the broth out before you take a big bite to get at the meaty center. Pro tip ya'll. Don't burn your mouth. The spicy beef bun was so good! I could definitely eat a couple of these. The fried vegetable pot stickers are a bit greasy and definitely benefited by dipping into one of the sauces available on the table. I'm glad the menu has vegetable offerings. The chive pancakes are crispy, also a bit greasy and tasty. Chop sticks are on the table, no forks. We didn't ask for a fork and some of us were having a very entertaining time practicing our chop stick skillz. The restaurant is clean as are the restroom at the back. The dining room is bright and sunny. Staff were all pleasant. We ordered plenty of dishes (more than mentioned here) and left quite satisfied. This is a good lunch stop as it's right near The Landing shopping area and we walked off lunch with a fun afternoon of shopping. read more

I have been to multiple Dough Zone locations but haven't got a chance to review this location yet. When we walked in, the restaurant is bright and spacious, with plenty of table seatings. Came here around lunch time and it wasn't busy. The host greeted and seated us immediately. Like most restaurants, you have to scan the QR code for the menu. We ordered the usual soup dumplings and Q-bao buns. They also offered jianbing with crisps, which was new on the menu so we have to try that. Overall, the foods were all delicious and consistent with most of the other locations. I really liked the jianbing since it was soft on the outside and crispy in the inside with some heat added from the sauce. For desserts, we decided to order the banana naan bread which was a nice end to our meal. The naan bread was lightly stuffed with bananas, perfectly eaten with whipped cream. We will order this again when we come back! Imo I like dough zone for the variety of dishes that DTF doesn't have. Not to mention, there's plenty of parking nearby. Really nice to have this location at the Landing! read more

It's been about a year since we came here. Right off the bat, I noticed a few changes - they removed a-choy from their menu and added more desserts. Boo- their A-choy was so good. Crunchy and nutty and healthy.. also they have a kiosk to put your name on the waiting list. We went here later in the day and didn't have to wait long. read more

The Dough Zone looked like it was a happening place. It is located in the Landing. If you are a cheap SOB, this is the place that you are dreaming of. They seem to be a chain with most of their locations in Washington and a few locations in Northern California serving up Shanghainese food (dumplings and noodles). I got a couple of beef stew noodle soups for takeout. The beef stew noodle soup came with an ample amount of noodles and a couple pieces of beef. The beef was tender. The soup was okay. I've had better, but, I'm not complaining since it was less than $10. My wife also had a bowl, and she liked it. We also got an order of their green onion pancake. They pancake was nice and savory. It was good. It was a good spot. We liked them for their food and their price. read more

So, its sunny and you want something Chinese, but not a full course meal. You want something light, yet filling. "Ah ha" you say. You choose Dough Zone. Yes. It is a chain. Yes. It is a little pricey. However, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't get down with your chopstick when coming here. It's a modern take on a dumpling house, and the inside decor is very modern. However, you're here for the dumplings... and the noodles.... and the other treats they offer. For me and my friends we are very eclectic eaters. So, what better way to pick EVERYTHING from the menu. We start with a crunchy Kale Salad with the sesame dressing, and then the Yin Bin Szechuan noodle soup arrives (much slurping occurs). Next arrives our Five Spice shaved beef shank, which didn't last more than 7 minutes. After THAT the main attractions appear! We ordered the Pork Won-Ton dumplings along with your obligatory order of steamed Xiao Long Bao soup dumplings. To say we talked, drank and enjoyed ourselves was a given. However the food the casual mood of the restaurant helped set the stage for our very positive conversations. Be advised, the restaurant reopened quickly after the 2023 fire that affected the complex. But it hasn't changed how the restaurant makes you feel! Relaxed and ready to eat! Get some dumplings in the Renton Landing today! read more

This location is my second favorite to the International District location. But is still good, it's very tasty and clean environment. There's been maybe twice it tasted just a little different than usual but not enough to not come back. I always suggest getting on the wait list ahead of time especially in peak times. It can get pretty busy. But if you have to wait it's worth it. I do wish there were more bathrooms. One stall for both "genders" can get backed up in that big location. read more

Dough Zone Dumpling House - Renton - Dough Zone make us smile! Soy sauce and onion noodles. - Chinese Near Me - Renton, Washington

Lousy customer service and pretty bland food, save yourself the time and trouble. We ordered a variety of dumplings, some buns, tea, a beef sandwich, and cucumber salad. A good variety of items to try out. The tea was basically a pot of hot water with a hint of chrysanthemum. I have had chrysanthemum tea at other establishments and it is always delicious, but here there was no flavour. The cucumber salad was the star of the table. Each bite was slightly sweet and very crisp. Our dumplings were served in baskets stacked on top of each other, they were not labeled, and when the server dropped them off he spoke so quickly and quietly, and walked away. We had to bite into each one to know what they were. Each one was so so, all were lacking in any spice or flavour. The pork buns were another highlight. The bun itself was light and airy, with the pork crackling with a savoury taste. The service was awful. Once our order was taken we were on our own for the most part. I got up and refilled our water glasses from nearby water pitchers. This place is pretty underwhelming. read more

The food isn't as delicious as DTF but it definitely has it own charm! The pan fried items were a bit hit with our kids and same goes for the dan dan noodles. Service is always super quick and friendly. We always get seated right away and parking is easy....making this a go to spot for lunch or dinner when we're in the area. Ambience - typical upper Asian restaurant vibe. Pretty clean and good place to bring guests who are new to Asian food scene. Price was fair but wish the noodle dishes were a bit larger. We recommend the pan friend items and the noodles. The spicy wontons were ok but nothing special. Flavors for all items have been consistent, which is a plus. Not too sweet, salty, or spicy with any dish. Would come back and it's great for large groups read more
