    Chicken Xiao Long Bao (8) 鸡肉小笼包
    Tania C.

    I heard about this place when scrolling DoorDash one day, however, I decided to visit it in person. The decor is cute, modern Asian and sleek. We came here after lunch rush around 3pm and ordered a bunch of food that were part of their favorites and must try's.There were a bunch of items that were out of stock and we were disappointed we weren't able to try it. We ordered the Dan Dan Noodles, Chicken Crispy Gyoza, Egg Fried Rice, Chicken Xia Long Bao, and Pork Xia Long Bao, and the Beef Pancake Roll. I am not a big pork eater so I was thoroughly happy they had Chicken Xia Long Bao. The chicken XLB were steamed to perfection with a wonderful broth. I honestly couldn't tell I was eating a non-pork XLB. The Dan Dan Noodles are one of the dishes they are known for. We were excited to try these as a bunch of places that we eat don't have this offering. We were rather disappointed because the noodles, on the printed menu, shows meat in it, however when we got it, there was no meat in the dish. The flavor was ok, I think the absence of the meat lended to the lack in flavor we were expecting. The beef pancake roll was stuffed with beef and provided a nice crunchy, flaky pancake against your palate. It was seasoned perfectly. It is quite a large roll and can be shared. Overall, besides the lack of some items in the menu and the lack of meat on the Dan Dan Noodles, I would recommend trying this place.

    I've been to a few other Dough Zone locations but this was my first time at this one. My boyfriend and I had a great experience. Our server was so great. He was very friendly and checked up on us every now and then to make sure we were okay. The space is a decent size. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The food came out pretty quick too. The food was just as good as the other ones we've been too. We were a little sad that the chicken soup dumplings were out of stock since we couldn't eat the other ones due to our personal dietary restrictions. Either way, the food that we did get was still great!

    Holy shrinkflation Batman! Their dumplings are very deflated. Mostly wrapper and a bit of filling. Hopefully this is just a one time mistake and not where they're headed.

    Try this with my son the other day because he was in the mood for soup dumplings. We really enjoyed the crab pork dumpling the most, but we did try the chicken and the pork only. Tried the potstickers which were pretty good. The wonton soup was ok, always tough to beat pay pau's. Service was friendly, the place was very busy. Did not have to wait too long for only two people but anything above that might take a little bit longer on the weekend. Would definitely come back and bring more of the family.

    The food was excellent and dishes came out quick. But I had to knockoff two star because the toilet had brown-buildup under the rim and looked like it wasn't cleaned properly in months. And how they handled a customer service mishap. I had lunch with my family and we asked for a refill on our tea from who we later learned was a trainee. When our server returned from their break they explained that the trainee was unaware that tea was charged per pot and indicated that it would be added to our bill. I feel that they passed the cost of a training mishap onto the customer for an item that cost the restaurant cents. With that said, it was off-putting to charge us after it was delivered for something that was trivial. The explanation after-the-fact was inadequate and made the entire dining experience very awkward since most other restaurants would have comped the second tea in that situation. It gives the perception that they were cheap and penny-pinching. Especially since it was a training breakdown. My recent experience was disappointing solely because of how they handled their mistake. And I would have overlooked the restroom had it not been for how they handled it.

    Would give 4.5 stars if possible. Great very reasonably priced options, most under $10 each which is amazing. The Dan Dan noodles were fantastic with a nice numbing spice. XLB were nice and hot and lots of soup inside which was awesome. Dough is a little thicker than DTF but they were really good. Great scallions pancakes which are flakey and very crispy which is key! Enjoyed the beef scallion pancake roll. Easy to use app for ordering in store too. Love it!

    I've been wanting to try Dough Zone for a while, so when I found myself in the neighborhood recently I decided to get takeout for a late lunch/early dinner. I used to love dumplings, but haven't enjoyed them at the last few dim sum places I've tried. I was hopeful Dough Zone's would be good. I went to their website to order online and was redirected to DoorDash. I ordered Pork Xiao Long Bao, which are dumplings filled with pork, broth, and seasoning; Pan-fried Pork Buns; and a romaine salad with sesame dressing. The DoorDash app alerted me when my food was ready, which only took 10 or 15 minutes. When I went inside to pick it up, I was surprised to see how busy the restaurant was at 3:30pm in the afternoon. One of the waiters told me to go look for my food on the DoorDash shelf near the back of the restaurant. I thought that was a little odd and wondered if he thought I was a delivery driver picking up an order. I found my food without any issues. Unfortunately, I didn't like any of the items I ordered. The sesame dressing was so spicy that I couldn't eat the salad. As for the dumplings, I can't say why I didn't care for them other than personal preference. There was nothing wrong with them, they just weren't for me.

    Was craving dumplings tonight and decided to try Dough Zone for take out tonight after it was recommended by a friend. I used the mobile ordering on their website and found it to be easy and user friendly. The order was ready right on time when it said it would be and pick up was seamless. I found the food to be tasty, but it fell a bit short when compared to other exceptional dumpling places in town. However, the prices are far more affordable, no giant crowds, and the food still really satisfied my craving so it was worth it! The chicken fried rice (3/5) was probably my least favorite thing I ordered. It was missing the traditional taste of a a fried rice for me and was underwhelming. I would pass on this next time. Chicken XLB soup dumplings (4/5), delicious broth, perfect amount of chewy texture and flavor. Hit the mark but didn't surpass it. Lastly, the Dan Dan noodles (5/5) were very good! Perfect texture that you would want them to be with a lot of flavor and the classic "numbing" feeling from the peppercorn.

    We beat the Friday dinner rush which was nice! The person who greeted us was very cheerful the entire time so I really appreciated his presence. Cute Christmas decor too! My only gripe is that my favorite dish has reduced in quantity :( Food: - pork xiao long bao: 5/5 delicious, can't go wrong with a classic - pork wonton in chili sauce: 1/5 my favorite dish but it barely had any meat :( mostly ate wonton wrapper which I do love me my carbs but the portion was off for sure - beef stewed noodles: 2/5 delicious noodles, like I said I love carbs, but only four small pieces of beef... - fried pork buns: 5/5 delicious, if you don't liked smelling fried oils maybe skip this but I don't care I like a good crunch on the bottom (forgot to take a pic because it took a while to come out which is fine) - meat pies: 3/5 I was too full to finish my share, but it was decent, again more carb than meat but flavor was alright

    Pretty full house when i came by myself on a Sunday afternoon around 3pm after a golf lesson. The service was very good even as a single diner. I've been to the one in Cupertino which is a little bigger. U can order thru scan or paper, i like paper. Ordered the pork xiao long bao , cucmbers, and dan dan noodles. They give hot water. I enjoyed all my dishes. The dumplings look a lil powdery but their are yummy with soup inside. Cucumbers taste fresh and no overly marinated. Noodles were nice as well. Had a nice dining experience and would recommend!

    High Tail Shrimp & Pork Steamed Dumplings (6)  翘尾鲜虾蒸饺
    James P.

    We've walked by this place a bunch of times but never thought to try it out. We were craving some xiao long bao's but didn't want to drive to valley fair and/or wait a long time to go eat at Din Tai Fung so we decided to give this place a try.. I am so glad we found this place because it is simply awesome! Slightly smaller space with ample seating. They have a simple menu which resembles going to a traditional dim sum restaurant - a small paper which you can check off individual items you want. Although it isn't a complete dim sum menu, it definitely has enough. We decided to order the pork xiao long bao, high tail shrimp and pork steam dumplings, sesame cold noodles and steamed broccoli. The pork xiao long bao checked off all the boxes - flavorful soup, wrap stayed in tact, and the pork was delicious, good texture and not overcooked. Goes perfectly with the minced ginger and vinegar. My favorite was the sesame cold noodles. The noodles were al dente, had a perfect chew, the sauce was perfectly balanced and all the toppings added to the texture of each bite. The portion was not overly big but the lower price point matched it. The steamed broccoli was good, although I wish they had broccolini but it was good to have a break between all the saltiness. Lastly, wasn't overly impressed with the high tail shrimp dumplings, shrimp was slightly over cooked. The service was prompt and friendly and they also had some cool lunch specials too. I came here again last night for dinner and also had a great experience so it's 2/2 for me. Another important thing to mention is that this place is very affordable and has good value for the money you spend. I recommend checking this place out for lunch or dinner!

    Our fave dumpling spot they are all so yummy! From the noodles to The dumplings & cucumbers. Ambience is cozy & welcoming. Service by Catalina & Diego is ALWAYS the best! So welcoming & friendly! Great great service! a must try ! One of our faves in San Jose!

    Average option for fast-casual Chinese food. Recommend their noodles over dumplings Food Quality Dumplings & Potstickers: Taste like reheated frozen food rather than fresh. Dumpling skin on the dry side, doesn't compare to Din Tai Fung quality Noodles: Actually better than the dumplings Banana Crepe: Very greasy, skip this one What we tried: - Pork Xiao Long Bao - Pork & Shimp Potstickers - Yibin Noodles - Beef Stew Noodles - Pork Wontons in Chili Sauce - Banana Crepe Service Experience Very friendly and cheerful servers Value for Money On the pricey side given the less authentic food Best for quick weekday dinner when you don't want to cook Cleanliness Clean and well-maintained Family-friendly environment

    I'd give this place 3.7 stars but rounding up…read more We had a variety of dim sum dishes and they were mostly very good, though not exceptional. The decor and ambiance is nice - very spacious and elegant. You can join the waitlist from Yelp - always a plus. Highlights: the har gow were plump with large pieces of shrimp and minimal filler. The dumpling skin was on the thicker side (I don't mind it but my wife likes thinner skins.) Maybe that was needed because of how big these were - really packed with shrimp. The mango pudding was delicious and reminded us of childhood, and the shrimp noodle roll was great. Lowlight: I was less happy with the xiaolongbao - there are so many good options for these in the South Bay that this meager interpretation was frankly bordering on blasphemy. I would not order those again. The steamed char siu bao were far better but still could've used more pork in the filling and were slightly soggy and over steamed. We also had the beef chow fun which was excellent with smoky wok hei flavor. Overall a good place for dim sum but avoid the xiaolongbao.

    Fine dining, Chinese style…read more The exterior of the building is unassuming, you would not guess the beauty and atmosphere and experience that awaits you on the inside! This is our family's new celebration restaurant. You know, the place you go to when out of town guests come and you want to treat them. The place you go to to celebrate a birthday or special occasion. The first time we came was for dim sum, which was soo good! I like that they still do carts and you get to experience the steam that tells you it's fresh. The interior design is beautiful, refined elegances, with marble flooring, chandeliers above, bright lighting, big screens where appropriate, numerous private rooms and details even in the bathrooms. It is a banqueting venue with ample space for weddings and large events. Our family particularly love their large round tables that can accommodate up to 12, as sometimes it's hard to eat all together at 1 table. When we were there for Chinese New Year celebration, they had a special menu with different selections to choose from. There was also a large party going on, where they were able to partition off the main space for privacy. Also there was a Tesla test driving promotion out front. Definitely good business to partner with other services like that, knowing their clientele. Overall, highly recommend this beautiful restaurant. Of course, it is on the high end of dining experiences, but for special occasions, I think it's worth it.

We knew to go early, since they don't take reservations and we often see lines outside. We arrived at 10:30am and the front manager said if we can be done my 12:30, that they had a table for us. Party of 12, since we got there early, we agreed. The side room had the biggest round table for us. They ask you what kind of tea you want, we like chrysanthemum tea. You order the items on the paper menu and it comes to your table. So we got going on the orders and TBH, we must be hungry, because we did a lot of orders (we had plenty of left overs). Tried some favorites and a few new items that we thought were unique to their restaurant. My dad has to order crispy noodle and chow fun, and we also ordered chicken fried rice. The service was prompt and attentive, with enough servers to take care of the side room. Since it was the "sun room", the sun was shining through the windows and it was bright. Review from my parents: it was just meh, they prefer the other place near our house. I think the food is good, but probably won't come back again with a big group of us, since they don't have many big round tables. And personally, I prefer the whole experience of the ladies coming around with their carts. Perhaps their dinner menu is also worth trying. Bonus for us is that we can literally walk to this restaurant. Parking could be an issue if you come later.

    This is my go-to spot for friend gatherings for dim sum, mainly because my best friend love their…read moreblack sesame egg custard buns. Ironically, I'm not a fan of them myself--they're a bit too eggy for my taste. When it comes to dim sum quality and service, I honestly prefer Koi Palace. The food quality there is more consistent, and the service is much more phenomenal. The only things this place really has over Koi Palace are the lower prices and those black sesame custard buns my friend loves! I've been here at least a dozen times, and the food can be hit or miss. Sometimes dishes come out cold, like they've been sitting out for a while instead of being served fresh and hot. That said, there are a few items we always order that are consistently good when brought out fresh like salted crispy pork chops, siu mai, shrimp rolls, and fried calamari. Be prepared for a wait on weekends since it gets crowded. If you're coming with a large group, it's best to arrive before noon. The restaurant is located next to a hotel, and finding the restroom can be confusing since it's inside the hotel. Service is also pretty minimal--they seem understaffed, and I almost always have to flag someone down just to get basics like soy sauce, chili, and water. I don't understand why they don't just have the sauce on the table for guest to dip, but I get that they're saving $ on controlling the cost down. On my most recent visit, the experience really went downhill. Our table had food but no soy sauce, chilli nor water, and when I flagged a waiter multiple times, he got visibly annoyed and irritated. It was frustrating--we shouldn't have to chase someone down repeatedly for basic condiments. Being met with attitude for that honestly left a bad impression. That experience alone makes me reconsider coming back. Good food at a good price is one thing, but poor service--especially to that extent--can really ruin the overall experience.

The table that we were seated at has 7 seats -- I looked at the other tables that were empty and they also had 7 seats -- meaning that at any point when a table for 6 or 7 was available, we, party of 6, could have been seated but she chose not to seat us and have us wait. Once we were seated, everything moved rather quickly. We were given a menu to order -- we ordered and within 10-15 minutes, everything was brought out to us. No wait time for the food, it was very fast. The food was decent but nothing memorable. Overpriced dim sum, overpriced food. As much I love Chinese food, I don't see myself coming back to this location because the wait times are crazy even if you come early. And second, the two women at the front counter are very rude, provided very poor customer service. Very annoyed and disappointing experience, wouldn't recommend to anyone.

    We hadn't had dim sum in a long time, so after a car meet, we were really craving it and found this…read moreplace near Ohlone College. We ordered some of our usual dim sum favorites, including shiu mai, har gow, chicken feet, steamed pork ribs in black bean sauce, and the shrimp spring rolls. Everything tasted really good, and the portions were generous! Even though they don't have a huge selection, they do have most of the classic dim sum dishes I like, so I had no complaints. The flavors were spot on, even without soy sauce, and I didn't feel thirsty after the meal at all, which is already a good sign. I was a bit disappointed with the har gow wrapper because it was a bit too floury. The shrimp spring rolls were fried so much that the shape completely changed, and I couldn't recognize them at first. Overall, we paid around $38ish for two people, which was a really good value for the portion sizes. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I noticed that a lot of people were ordering takeout as well. Highly recommended!

    We came here for dinner on a Sunday night at 5:30pm. My first time here. There is a huge Jumbotron…read moreon my wall. This place can seat like 400+ people in one room. It is huge! The 9 of us had the prefix $688 menu. There was a lot of food. Many other people had the same dinner. The food was fresh and piping hot. I liked the combination fried rice. It was loaded and had some crunchy tidbits on top. They was also a steak dish that came with shrimp that was delicious. It was also nice to be able to shop after dinner as there is a TJ Maxx Home goods right next door.

They also have the carts that go around that you can directly pick from after ordering your original order off of the paper. The food comes out pretty fast, even though they're super busy. Har Gow is my favorite so those were pretty good, the wrapper was not too thick 4/5, same with the siu mai. The beef chow fun was pretty greasy but that's pretty typical with this dish, the color was pretty nice on the noodles too 4/5. They offer Jasmine hot tea or chrysanthemum hot tea, and water when requested. Again pretty typical Dim Sum experience, nothing too extravagant or out of the ordinary, and a bit pricey. I would go here again with my family, probably not first choice though
