    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.

    Food was good and serving size was enough to share between 2-3 people per serving. Lots of variety to choose from on the menu. Recommend for a light lunch for small to medium size group.

    Local Washington dim sum without disappointment. Everything was great and amazing. Do not pass on the soup dumplings, cucumber salad, or anything else. Everything on the menu is good, ono grindz.

    Pork Xiao Long Bao

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Normal hot water cup that the table next to us got
    Lillian S.

    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.

    Quickly seated despite a very busy lunch. Spacious and clean dining area. The QBao seemed slightly smaller than the ones we get in the Issaquah location. Mala noodle wasn't spicy enough. We always love the cucumber salad but definitely a bit pricey. Street and parking garage available.

    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.

    Spicy wontons with chili sauce

    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!

    I heard the vegan dumpling option is no longer vegan because they added chicken powder. Is it true?

    Yes, they now claim they are only vegetarian. Not sure how ground up chicken is vegetarian. But vegetarians never made sense to me

    Hello I was wondering what do the frozen soup dumplings look like and how long would I have to steam them at home if I were to buy them?

    The frozen dumplings come as little frozen dumplings, I'm not quite sure what you're asking. They look like little compact balls. They come with cooking instructions. Pretty much you put them on the steamer on something that won't stick (sometimes… Read more

    When are they open? I've been here numerous times over the past couple of days and have always managed to be there when they are closed. It doesn't help that they aren't taking any calls either.....

But they lose 3 stars from me because they use some kind of industrial strength cleaning chemical to wipe down the tables. Hard to enjoy your meal when all you can smell is the same chemical they use to mop the floors at QFC and in my apartment building. Seriously terrible chemical smell while you eat. If they are using a spray bottle to clean at the next table, you'll get a cloud of harsh cleaning chemical up your nostrils while you eat. I've had to rinse off and wiped down my own table with a napkin dampened with tea or water in order to enjoy my meal. When I mentioned this to staff, they were dismissive and haven't changed a thing in over a year when I first brought it to their attention. They should only be using something like quat sanitizer, that doesn't smell, to clean the tables. NOT something that is used for floors or bathrooms. and on a side note: if you decide to mop underneath another table while people are dining next to it, please say "excuse me" or just wait. Instead of almost hitting people in the head with a mop handle without saying a word. Also not great for a dining experience. I have worked in restaurants and F&B management. I know something about these things. You shouldn't use anything on a table for diners that you wouldn't use on a food preparation surface. How many times has a dumpling got away from you and bounced around on the table and you snag it and consume it, because you assume the table isn't being cleaned with floor cleaner? If you agree with me, please say something to the staff, and maybe they'll eventually listen. This is a real shame. The food quality is quite good. Probably best dim sum in South King County. I might just do take-out from now on. There are other high quality Chinese and Asian dining options, that's the bright side of living in this area. But if I'm doing takeout, I might as well just go to Dim Sum House on Beacon Hill (much more reasonable prices and good quality).

    Overall: 8.5/10…read more Food: 8/10 I got the #5 Creamy Broth which was a creamy chicken broth topped with juicy pork chashu and a flavorful seasoned egg topped with free self serve tempura flakes, green onion, and ginger. I asked for a spice ball for the soup on the side. The soup was rich and creamy as the name suggested. The pork chashu was average at best. It lacked flavor and color. The noodles were thick and al dente and absorbed the broth very well. I would not recommend mixing the tempura flakes into the broth as it makes them soggy and they no longer have the crunchy texture to contrast the noodles. For tempura I got a steamed egg tempura, shrimp tempura, and potato tempura. The egg tempura definitely reined supreme. Would heavily recommend a tempura sauce which they happened to run out with today. The vegetable tempuras were all bland. Would not recommend. If you do get the tempuras, eat them before the main dish so the richness of the main dish doesn't ruin the delicate flavor of the tempura. Atmosphere: 9/10 Tables were cleaned and bussed regularly. There were plenty of tables where we didn't really have to wait after getting our food. The tables were kinda close to each other and the restaurant was packed on a Saturday night at 7 pm. It was very loud and we could not hear the music in the background and had to speak up when talking to each other. Service: 9/10 Self service similar to chipotle where you order at the counter and they make it in front of you and all the individual components of each dish are premade. Unlike chipotle, once they give you the main dish in a tray, there is a self serve Tempura bar where you pay by piece.

The last place I went to had clouds of fruit flies, the floor was sticky and the table looked like a science experiment (the Pho was good though, but ewww).

I needed to be in Renton along 4th Ave and since I don't get to eat good Pho much anymore, I saw that Happy Autumn was along the route I'd be driving. My first impression. The food handling rating is EXCELLENT and the restaurant looked clean. The staff was delightful, professional, full of smiles, and had my order ready for pick-up right on time.
