Stopped in with a group for dinner. Counter order and self seating which was nice for a large group. Most of us ended up trying the dumping flight which was so fun and I'd highly recommend. That being said, I don't think there was one flavor that stood out that I'd want a whole order of. I'd go back but probably try out the wontons or some of their other dishes! The service was very friendly! read more

We were in town for a wedding last weekend and had a big group (15 people) and they were all "let's try this taco spot". Well we got there and the line was insane so through the little alley I saw dump city! I said "guys let's get dumplings!!" About half of us went over there and it was the 100% right move! There was one guy in there having a beer. We ordered the lamb dumplings, the elote, a pizza dumpling and the crab Rangoons along with some beers. Service was quickly, friendly, and great! Dumplings came out very quick which was awesome!! The lamb and elote were both good. I think I preferred the lamb. The elote tasted like a burrito it was good but lamb was my favorite. The pizza dumpling fell flat of my expectations. It was literally a bunch of multi cheese in dough. I wish there had been pizza sauce in the dumpling to make it feel more like pizza. The crab Rangoon's were good. The texture and filling seemed different from normal Rangoon's but overall delightful. The highlight of this restaurant to me had to have been the giant gong at the entrance. It had a little sign that told you how to hit it, which I did obviously. Overall, great find and they had merch on the wall. We meant to buy some, but we totally forgot. Wish you could order it online. read more

This place has been a favorite for years but I can't help but notice the drastic changes that have happened the past 2 years. Prices have gotten higher and quality has gotten worse. Multiple occasions have occurred where it seems everything we tried to order was "out" or needed substitutions. Cucumber salad has a good taste but left our mouths numb. Definitely miss the commitment this place used to have for bend customers, some of us have been supporting for a while and now it seems like everyone they serve is an after thought. read more

The food here is pretty unique. My husband and I tried a wide assortment of dishes ranging from dumplings - both steamed and fried, curry, and salad. Everything was flavorful and fresh, but some dishes were a bit over salted. This is the place to be if you want dumplings, as the name implies. read more

We were so excited to try this after seeing it on triple d it's the only place on our trip we came into town from Sun River for, it's a great concept and we wanted to love it but here's where it fell short. We ordered the flight of 9 mini buns some where good some egh we thought they were salty especially the pork wontons I tried my friends crab wontons and all I tasted was cream cheese. The crack chicken was our favorite..and garlic green beans pretty good licked the pickled onions. Worth the drive no, repeat no. Bummer read more

Somehow it seemed fitting that it was snowing during our visit to "Dump City Dumplings." While it may not have been snowing enough to say that it was "dumping" outside, it sure did add to the ambience of our meal. In my estimation, there are likely two schools of thought when it comes to dumplings. I think you've got the "I'm all about the dumplings!" person and the "Ok, I'll try dumplings once" person. If you are of the latter ilk and are still riding the fence on this one, please know that while dumplings are featured here, there are other options available (including Vegan choices). For example, I sampled the Roujiamo Pork Bowl and Cucumber Salad and they were both outstanding. Also know that introducing your little ones to the dumpling experience is easier than you think given the selections featured on their kid's menu. If you do choose to sample their dumplings (and you should!) you have to consider their dessert dumpling (filled with strawberry jam that you then dip in a lovely coconut sauce). While perhaps not for everyone (and I admit to being hesitant at first), it was by far my favorite of the dumplings that I sampled. By the power vested in me, I hereby proclaim 2023 "The Year of the Dumpling!" And that's...Henry's Take. #dumpcity #dumplinglove read more

Please don't get me wrong, I enjoyed everything about Dump City except the dumplings. I guess I was a dumpling novice and was not prepared for the experience but gave it my best shot. YELP Short Answer: YES it is awesome if you are familiar with and enjoy this type of dough-centric food. Location: Parking, well it totally sucks but welcome to the Galveston neighborhood and parking wars. Aside form that, their new fun location with lots to do all around is sure to be a hit for years to come. Sure trendy hot spot at the moment and busy so pick your times. Buildout: Nicely done very youthful music and a good vibe all around. Seating space indoors and out with takeout as a large part of their plan. Menu: Easy and fun, Host is happy to answer menu questions and very enthusiastic about their menu and company. Simple menu but ask, they say 3-5 dumplings will be a meal for one human, I'd say one and some sides. They have beers and ciders as well. Food Prep: Nicely done to eat there or take out. Dumplings are plopped on a dish naked but that is just fine, it's a dumpling shop so you get no frills. Food Quality: Seemed perfectly cook but missing in overall taste, texture, and enjoyment for me. Ordered Special Risotto, Pork and Pad Thai to try them all and it was hard to really get the flavor out of any of them as the ginormous amount of dumpling dough was overwhelming. I felt stuffed after just one but tasted them all. Also ordered cucumber salad and sticky rice both of which were excellent and I would suggest if you're not sure on the whole dumpling experience to just order sides and one dumpling to share. You can always order more if you find it to be your thing. They also have rice bowls which I may try at some point yet they seemed a little expensive so will read up on them. Waitstaff: Does not get much better, everyone was fun and happy to be there. It takes a while to get your food so have a beer and chill and don't be in a hurry. You can order, go buy some pot across the street, shop for furniture, buy a lottery ticket at 7/11 and your food should be about ready. These dumpling are made to order so it takes some time. Value: Yes for sure, fair pricing and if you know your dumplings I am sure it is a great value. OVERALL EXPERIENCE: Excellent but I felt like I needed a stomach expander for the rest of the day, I wound not order a dumpling again but enjoyed myself. read more

Great location, patio tables, local bevvies on tap. Great smells, tasty grub. The bao dough just didn't rise properly and the bites were super doughy. Filling was tasty, but lacked freshness. We grew up in the SF/Oakland bay, 7 years on Maui, and never had such heavy dough. Just didn't seem properly fluffed. read more

Dumplings are a must try. Love the fresh dipping sauces and their expanded menu has some tasty side dishes to share such as tofu, crispy chicken. Guy Fieri autographed pictures celebrating his visit at Dump City recognizing this small quaint restaurant with friendly service is a must try when in Bend. Love visiting their food truck up on Mt Bachelor during the winter season as well. read more

After seeing this restaurant on Diners, Drive ins & Dives, I had it on my list to visit next time I was in Bend. My friends and I decided we would check it out for lunch and we were not disappointed. The three dumplings I ordered were flavorful and soft, my favorite was the Chinese pork. The sweet chili cilantro garlic sauce was the perfect mix of sweet and spicy. We even loved the ooey gooey jem dessert dumpling! I loved the large selection of beer on draft and also thought it was cool that they have their dumplings on display in a fridge for easy take home. read more

These dumplings are the most delicious, satisfying dough balls full of goodness that I have ever had. They have 3 main flavors but the most popular are definitely the cheese & the pad Thai. The pad Thai is full of the rice noodles, veggies, soft tofu and a yummy peanut sauce. It is every vegan/vegetarian's dream! Dipped in the coconut lime sauce adds another element of flavor similar to squeezing lime on the traditional dish. They're hot, soft, gooey, affordable and a perfect little snack for any occasion! The staff is so chill and one guy hooked it up with a bonus dumping!!! The music is bumping and the vibes are all there. I've been visiting town this week and already had dumplings on 2 different occasions...munch n music and out downtown after partying. At one point I came back for another back to back because I just couldn't get enough. If you haven't had dump city dumplings, you haven't had dumplings! read more

Hospitable. Chill vibe. Food was decent. Dumplings are more like boa buns, and unfortunately I was looking forward to good old fashioned dumplings with a soft slightly chewy outer layer. Sweet and sour popcorn chicken was different, and good. Root beer was good. We probably wouldn't go back though just over our preferences. read more

Colorful, chill vibe. Love the outdoor seating. The dumplings were very tasty. The teriyaki bowl had fresh ingredients. Cucumber salad could have been fresher. Don't let that stop you from coming in and enjoying the various dumplings they have to offer. Don't forget to bus your tables before you go. The cashier was sweet and chill. Love the local vibe, seating and plant life at this establishment. read more

I want to specifically thank the crew that worked at the BMW MOA National Rally. The dumplings were always top notch. And a special thanks to the suggestions from staff, they helped us get the perfect wedding spot at Smith Rock State Park! Talk about a total package, they know all the good spots! This place is going to be a must for all of future travels in the area! read more

I didn't get pictures of all our food :( Overall it was fresh, good, & unique. We really like the nachos and stemmed mushroom wontons. My son liked the pizza dumplings, but was hoping they'd be stuffed with pepperonis :) too. It's a fun lil place! read more

From the moment you step in, the place exudes a casual, friendly energy. It's part eatery, part fun discovery--in the best way. With cart-style service and a colorful interior, it's the kind of spot that makes every meal feel like an experience! read more

The service was great, food came out quick, presentation was excellent, and the decor inside is super cute. However, the portions were small and flavor was lacking. The pizza dumpling had no sauce inside and was just cheese. The wonton nachos were overly salty and barely had any chicken. We liked the buffalo wontons, but they were very small. I also thought the pork dumplings were lacking flavor. I really wanted to like this place. read more

The parking lot sneaks up on you so start slowing as you approach otherwise you'll miss it. The food was not as spectacular as Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives led you to believe on its show. Oddly one of the first Triple D locations we've visited that wasn't up to the hype. The dumplings were very doughy; if you're into that, go for it. read more

We stopped by here based the reviews and it didn't disappoint! Reasonably priced, delicious and unique dumplings that really hit the spot on a rainy day. We only had two Pad Thai ($3/each) and two The Forager (a special with mushrooms, toasted walnuts, goat cheese, and arugula) ($4/each) dumplings as a mid-afternoon snack to go. The guy behind the counter said not to forget their special house-made sauces and I'm so glad he did! I grabbed some coconut peanut butter sauce, a hot sauce, and an italian-style sauce, and they really made the dumplings over-the-top yummy. Other items look delish, like their mango sticky rice, so I hope to get back here someday! read more

Went to Dump City Dumplings for a snack because we have seen the triple D episodes several times and just had to try. We ordered one of each of the classic dumplings. The Thai was very good and went very well with the peanut sauce. The Pork dumpling was my favorite and enjoyed with the chili sauce, finally the Pizza dumpling was great by itself loaded with cheese. They also have a lot of other options on the menu and off the menu, special for the day was a lamb mint dumplings and I really wished I had gone for lunch instead of snack. read more

BAO BUNS, not dumplings. Maybe it was my lack of research, but I just assumed with the name "dumpling", it would be more like Chinese dim sum. Definitely just bao buns with different fillings. Such a cool concept, even with flavors and combinations, but really poor execution. The fillings were all bland. Dipping sauces and pork bowl were the best things we got. They also offered a pineapple sticky rice dish that was pretty good. So disappointed since this place was on DDD! read more

First time eating here. Very friendly service. We ordered the teriyaki chicken, cheeseburger dumpling special, pork dumpling and pad Thai dumpling. We tried the 3 sauces with the peanut sauce being our favorite. Everything was very tasty. Definitely going back. read more

So I had the chance to try these dumplings at the amphitheater during a concert. I wanted to try a variety, so I ordered a cheese, Chinese pork and pad Thai bun. The dough is soft and chewier than I'm used to which is fine but I didn't care for the fillings. The cheese one is ok but just cheese inside and kinda spills out if you don't hold it carefully. The pork def isn't the Chinese bbq pork many are used to, nor is it the pork/cabbage variety. I'm not sure if it's a little strong in five spice. Now onto the pad Thai bun, I found it to be a bit mushy but has pad Thai like flavors. I think I'd rather just order pad Thai somewhere so the noodles aren't overdone. I can't remember the dipping sauces I chose. I think if you're looking for a quick snack or small lunch, feel free to drop by but I just didn't care for the flavors I chose. Don't be looking for authentic as it's a fun take on buns. The dough is different too. read more

Where do I even start? First things first let's talk about customer service. The staff were dressed like a bunch of skaters (marijuana users) which is always a bad sign. How can I trust somebody who is high on marijuana with my food? That's beside the point, they were very nice to me and my boyfriend. Secondly, the food was VERY pricy, I mean VERY pricy, and I don't use that word lightly. They are charging an arm and a leg for some doughy balls with cheese, which aren't expensive to make. Trust me, I know, I own a restaurant, I get how this works. Anyway, food was exceptional, if we're talking dumplings in Bend, this is your spot. I'd like to finish this off by talking about the location. It is located on Galveston on the west side, this is a nice part of town but I did notice a couple transients loitering nearby. This isn't a big deal but it's something I feel I needed to note. Over all, Dump City Dumplings is a delightful place and I will not be going back. Thanks for ready my yelp review.

I wasn't as good as I had hoped. It was a bit chaotic, the food was a bit bland, and was a bit overpriced.

The food is DELICIOUS. I love the grilled chicken plate. Kids loved the cheese Dumplings. Very clean.

I honestly don't get the hype about this place. I was really excited to try it, but I don't think I'll be back. I tried the pad Thai dumplings and the pork dumplings. The pork had good flavor but just a lot of dry meat and dry dough. The pad Thai was extremely dry, and when I tried to get some of the coconut sauce to liven it up, the sauce bottle squirted all over my plate, my sleeve, and across the room. They were tough to eat and even tougher to swallow. read more

First experience with Dumplings, big disappointment. They were warm at best & very very doughy. gave mine to my daughter who said yes way under cooked. The pizza dumpling was only a piece of cheese inside, not much flavor. Atmosphere was an older building, dark small and we froze inside. It was a later lunch so I think employees didn't take too much stock into customer service. read more

Definitely not traditional dumplings! I placed an online order for some of the Chinese style pork dumplings. I was really just craving dumplings so I didn't try anything else. They were ready pretty quickly and the cashier was super nice and directed me towards the sauce station where I was surprised to find ranch, a watery sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and another 1 or 2 that seemed strange to have with this type of food but I can't remember what they were. I went for the sweet chili and the soy and headed out. I was shocked when I opened the container and saw the HUGE dumplings inside! I should have looked through the Yelp photos before ordering so that's on me, but they were the most massive dumplings I've ever seen and they look like they were maybe grilled or baked? They didn't seem steamed to me, which is how dumplings are usually made. The dough is thin and dry and reminded me of pizza dough. I really wasn't fond of either sauce. Now, if I had wanted Chinese pork pizza bites, I would have been very happy but that wasn't the case. I also don't think "dim sum" should be a tagged descriptor because honestly nothing on the menu is dim sum. read more
