    Beef roll
    Jessica D.

    We walked in for dinner around 6 and got a table for 2. Throughout our meal, there was a line out the door and a small crowd of Chinese families- a good sign! We shared the pork XLB, pan fried dumplings, beef roll, and spicy wontons (not pictured). Ordering was easy through QR, food came out quickly, and was very good (some tweaks could have made it great). We'll be back to try more. - pork xiao long bao: soft, soupy, and the perfect balance of savory without feeling too fatty. The skin could have been thinner and did feel a bit gummy at the top. - pan fried dumplings: amazing! Soupy inside and perfectly fried on the outside. - beef rolls: oily, flaky, and delicious. But there was barely any sauce! Please include much more sauce next time. - spicy wontons: way spicier than I expected. My boyfriend loved these. Super soft wontons in chili oil with a touch of nutty sesame. Reminded me a bit of the dandan taste.

    I loved it! The food was delicious and super fresh. I went on a Thursday night and it was surprisingly busy. There was a waitlist for a table and people were coming in to pick up takeout. I can see why this place is so popular. The restaurant itself is small so I would call ahead if you're coming in with a party of more than 4 people. I took off a star because they did forget one of our orders, so we never received it and just had them remove it from the bill. They were busy and there was only one waitress so I can see how that would happen, but they were definitely understaffed.

    When I arrived, there was a party of 3 ahead of me waiting. They handed me the waiting list and so I wrote my name down. We are just standing around waiting for a table although there were a couple open. My assumption was to wait to be seated and not just seat ourselves. I see one lady working tables, serving food to tables. I wait patiently and don't try to get her attention. A few minutes later, a party of 2 walk in. They get the lady's attention and she seats them at a table. I was kind of disappointed that they were seated before me and they didn't bother asking if we were waiting for a table. After that, I cross my name off the waiting list and sit at a table with just 2 seats. The lady sees me and I ask if it's okay. She said it was. At the table there is a QR code you scan for the menu. I order the Pork Xiao Long Bao and the Zha Jiang Noodles on my phone. The dumplings come out pretty quick. Then the noodles come. The Pork Xiao Long Bao was good. It had a lot of juice and it was pretty tasty. I liked the spoon they give you and the two sauces they also give you. Very flavorful. The Zha Jiang Noodles were good as well. The noodles were nice and chewy, elastic. All the ingredients went well together and tasted good together. Overall, the food was good, but can't say the same about service. There was only one person waiting on all the tables.

    QR Code
    Monika C.

    I struggled a bit with this one. Immediately when I walked in I noticed there was a QR code for ordering. I prefer a dedicated server. I am someone who has specific dietary restrictions and needs. You simply cant ask a QR code those things. That was a huge negative for me. The QR Code came around COVID times and never left. We ordered the following: 1. Onion Pancake - 1 start - the flavor was there, but it was dripping grease. Would not get it again. 2. Beef Roll - 1 star - i really wanted to like this one. It was extremely oily (like the other pancake as they were made the same way) and I couldnt enjoy how the outside of the roll was warm/hot and the inside (the meat) was literally cold to the touch. It just tasted really off to me. Would not get again. 3. Shrimp fried Rice - 4 stars - great flavor, fresh, lots of rice. Would get again. 4. Steamed Pork Bun - 4 stars - great flavor, huge and delicious. Would get again. 5. Sautéed Green Bean - 5 stars - excellent flavor! Would get again. The place was super busy with to go orders, more so than in house. But the amounts of oil on the food and the lack of a dedicated server would keep me from coming back, unfortunately. The service was friendly enough, but not enough to bring me back.

    Dumpling 85 is located right down the street from Costco down here in San Ramon. It's located in a shopping center that, which at the time, was a soon to be open Tous Les Jour at the other end of the shopping center. The location is nicely done, has some good seating out in front of the restaurant and when you get in it looks like most of the other modern dumpling places, so it's a nice sit down spot for your dumpling needs. The menus are also right on the tables through a QR code, but if you need a physical menu they do offer those too. It's a typical modern dumplings place, so the menu will be about the same as the others. I won't comment too much on that since it's pretty much cookie cutter at this point. Price wise, it's a bit expensive, but for this area it's not too bad. About on part as other similar cuisines. Service here was good enough, but they were pretty slow when we were here that day with our pan fried buns, and we were the only other table there still waiting on food so that wasn't great. Now, let's get right down to the food. One of the first things we tried at our table was the beef noodle soup. I have to say, this was not a very good beef noodle soup at all. The beef wasn't very tender and kind of stringy, and didn't quite have the right texture or even flavored properly. The soup stock tasted like nothing. For a beef noodle soup, it's way too bland. While the portions of this was comparable, the entire dish was just not what I had hoped for. Noodles was okay, Q enough, but the rest of everything kinda ruined it. Next up, let's talk about the pan fried buns. Honestly, some of the worst sheng jian baos I've ever had. It was completely dry inside, and not even the meat had juices coming out of it. I feel as if the meat they used for their baos are very lean meat, which is a terrible idea considering that the fats and juices that come out during the cooking process is what makes it so good. The meat was tough, chewy, and didn't have any juices coming out of it whatsoever. The outside was fine, but this certainly feels more like it had something to do with their actual ingredient than the cooking method itself. Lastly, I do want to talk about the beef roll here, which ironically for an appetizer, was the highlight of the day. They do their beef rolls here very differently than most places, as the outer roll is really more like an actual full fluffy onion pancake wrapped around the contents on the inside, so when you eat it it's very crispy and had a lot of good onion pancakey texture to it. The contents inside, while not super traditional, all went well together. The beef was good with the lettuce that was put inside. It also had some of the other basic stuff inside that you would usually find in a beef roll. The sauce they used is the same as the peking duck sauce for those familiar, so if you enjoy that, you'll like this beef roll. Overall, Dumpling 85 was a disappointment for sure. While the decor was nicely down, in a quieter area away from the crazy Costconess around the corner, and the portions actually wasn't bad, the food quality here for some of the stuff just wasn't good. Even though the beef roll here shined above all else, it's not a good sign for a bao place when your bao is not any good, at least with the pan fried one. Maybe I can try the soup bao if I ever go back, but I'm not all that confident it will be that much better since it's appears an ingredients issue. If you really want bao in the area, this isn't the worst option around perhaps, but suffers from sub-par quality in what should be their premier dishes.

    1. Fresh Cucumber Salad
    Sonia W.

    We always order to go. Came to this place after work and hubby suddenly wanted for xiao long bao. Ordered our usual from their menu, food quality has been keeping up. Fresh cucumber salad: cucumber is fresh, sauce was well balanced, not too sour or too much of the garlic Beef roll: My favorite of all time, the pan fried wrap has a special fragrance and you can tell it is freshly made. Suggest to finish right away for it won't taste good overnight. Pork, shrimp and chive steamed dumplings: Recommended by the owner. Never thought of order steamed dumplings cuz I normally don't quite like the texture when it is steamed. Surprisingly it tastes awesome! From the steamed wrap to the filling, everything made just right. I enjoyed this dish so much! Pork xiao long bao: Quality is good, but dine in tastes a lot better while it's still hot.

    One of the few places in the area serving good XLBs and authentic chinese noodle soups. This place has QR code menus where you can order online at the table. You can also ask a server to put in the order for you or give recommendations, be patient with their English if you don't know any Chinese, otherwise order in Chinese. This place can get pretty busy at times, but they also have a few tables outside for outdoor patio seating. The only draw back here is that the pig ear isn't always super consistent, BUT sometimes it's really good.

    Wonton noodle soup
    Mille C.

    3.25 stars on the strength of the yummy beef roll. Best version of this dish I've found. Would return just for this Didn't enjoy the rest of the meal. The noods and the skins of both the wonton and dumplings were too thick and doughy for my taste. Kinda reminded me of the homemade version of the frozen wontons at Safeway. Taste is subjective tho. Got to try different things on the menu to find what works for each individual. Yelp helps but only as a guide because again, different people have different preferences. But the beef roll was a perfect blend of contrasting textures and flavors. Pancake is pan fried but didn't taste greasy. It was crispy on the outside, chewy inside. Each bite was salty and tender, sweet from the hoisin and vegetal from the fresh greens. Only thing lacking was the beef. In the past that roll was packed with multiple layers of sliced meat, today it was only 1 slice thick.

    Great casual spot for dumplings in San Ramon. We ordered the cucumber salad which never misses. The xiao long bao was great - hot soup with very clean taste. The pan fried dumplings were also great, and also very hot. Overall, I really enjoyed everything I got and will be coming back to try other dishes. The service was fast and it's awesome to see them making the dumplings in the back.

    XLB, fried dumpling and beef stew noodle
    Sylvia K.

    Came here on a Saturday around1:40pm. There were lots of ppl inside but plenty of table outside. We dined outside since it was a nice day. We got the pan fried dumplings. It was actually deep fried on the bottom! I'm not supposed to have fired food for my stomach problem so I could only eat the top part and the inside. Usually, this buns is pan fried and not deep fried. Wish I knew. The XLB was ok. Did not wow me. The ones we had in Fremont recently were better. The beef stew noodle was ok. The beef brisket was not tender. Soup had mild spicy taste. So again not good for my stomach. Most likely won't be back .

    Chive pocket - pretty good. Menu mentions shrimp in the dish name but no shrimp to be found
    Jess N.

    Dishes we ordered, from my most to least favorite: 1. Xiao long bao - skin was thin and soup was flavorful. Loved that they had the xiao long bao spoons too! 2. Sheng jian bao - not the best I've had, but it was done well! There was a lot of soup inside and it didn't seep into the buns. 3. Chive pockets - the menu said it had shrimp but couldn't taste or see any. Taste wise, pretty average and could have been a bit crispier. 4. Beef rolls - not enough beef, too much lettuce and cilantro. They also put a lot of sauce, and it was too salty for my taste. Ordering was done through a QR code, very convenient for us as we didn't have to flag the server down. Food came out relatively fast. Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way to come back but I'd come again if I'm in the area.

As an appetizer, the pig's ear with five spice was my favorite. They also give you a small tray of peanuts if you dine-in. The restaurant itself is quite small but the tables are spaced out enough where you don't feel like you're right next to the other parties. The service is consistently sharp, and there is a genuine sense of gratitude for your business every time you walk through the door, even when I'm just picking up a to-go order. I definitely want to try more of their Shanghai Dim Sum the next time I stop by.

    Food: Verified by our coworker from Shanghai: AUTHENTIC. The flavors are really great! Especially…read moretheir pot! You get so many things, including glass noodles, vegetables, seafood and meat; and the broth! Best taste ever. Their steam rice is really good as well and definitely be mindful with their portion haha. Ambiance: clean and comfortable! Service: can't describe how welcoming and attentive the staff were. We're offered good recommendations and service. Personally, I spoke mandarin and bringing someone who can speak mandarin does make a difference!

    A fairly authentic little Shanghai-style restaurant. The decor is simple but clean and spacious…read more The staff are all very friendly. Mushroom with Gluten Noodle - 4/5 The mushroom and gluten were well prepared, though the flavor was a bit on the mild side. The noodles were the thin type, probably just standard packaged noodles. Shanghai Style Fried Prawns - 3/5 There are two options: one with regular prawns, and one with river shrimp. We chose the river shrimp. The overall flavor was much milder than the authentic version--it lacked sweetness, and the dish didn't have the rich red and glossy look it usually should. Bean Curd with Vegetables - 5/5 This dish was a pleasant surprise, capturing the taste of spring--very light and refreshing. Lightly drizzled with sesame oil and chilled for a while, every bite felt fresh and cleansing, with a lingering aroma. Shanghai Veggie and Pork Rice Cake - 5/5 Highly recommended. The rice cakes were stir-fried to a perfect soft and chewy texture. The combination of vegetables and shredded pork brought out a deliciously savory flavor.
