I went to Dumplings and Noodles in Richmond, VA with my son, and we had a little bit of everything -- and let me tell you, everything was AMAZING! The tofu Pad Thai rice noodles were so flavorful and cooked perfectly. The soup dumplings were my absolute favorite -- juicy, delicious, and full of flavor. The fried soft pork bun was a full 10/10: soft, tasty, and beautifully presented. I tried the sesame noodles for the first time; they were served cold, but surprisingly really good! The fried pork dumplings were another hit--my son loved them. And honestly, you can't beat the prices... dumplings for $7 and noodles for $5? Super affordable for such great quality. The place itself is beautiful and peaceful, and the service was quick and super friendly. They even checked in to make sure I was enjoying everything and I absolutely did. Highly recommend! I'll definitely be coming back. read more

The food was amazing!! This was my first time coming and I'm soooo glad we took a chance to come in! I ordered the sweet and sour spicy noodle and fried dumplings ! I never had cold noodles before so I was hesitant but omg!! And then the added apple slices was an interesting touch, we even took some to go! The dumplings were fresh and well seasoned, the sauce they use for both the dumplings and the noodles were a banger!! I don't know exactly what's in the sauce by I would buy it if it was on sell. Honest opinion 10/10!! read more

Dumpling & Noodle Cart - Sesame Noodle, Pan-Fried Pork Dumplings (8 Pieces) - Noodles Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Dumpling & Noodle Cart specializes in just that - dumplings and noodles. You really can't beat the prices and it's a great option for lunch or a quick bite. We've tried half their menu and our favorite are the pan-fried dumplings by far. You get 8 bite-sized dumplings for $7. They're crisp on the outside and juicy inside. The steamed pork bun is tasty but a bit tough on the bottom. The sweet sour spicy cold noodles was a new experience to eat temperature wise and more on the sweet side. The pad thai lacked flavor. read more

I remember when this location was a cart at VCU. The dumpling and steam buns are flavorful while the other noodle and side dishes were okay. It's a sit down restaurant (you order at the front) but has a grab and go vibe. Was really nostalgic for me read more

I got the pork($7) and chicken ($7) dumpling, sesame noodles($5), and sweet sour spicy noodle($5). The food was ready in about 7 minutes. The dumplings were freshly fried and tasted amazing with their house soy and spicy sauce. The fillings were good and seasoned appropriately. Their cold noodles as advertised were indeed very cold my teeth. However once it began to come to room temp it was quite good. I personally preferred the sesame noodles over the sweet chili but both were quite good. I wish there could've been some type of meat with it, but for $5 it was still quite a deal. The inside was really nice and clean. The staff were very nice. Overall I had a good experience here and would come back again.

Was in town for the watermelon festival and needed something quick to eat. Stumbled upon dumpling and noodle and after a quick look over their menu, I knew this was exactly what I needed. First, let's talk prices. This place is CRAZY affordable. I'm talking 5 dollars for an order of noodles. I was honestly shocked when I saw it. I got the sweet sour spicy noodles and keep in mind this is my first time having cold noodles like this. Was. Not. Disappointed. Flavours were banging and the little slices of apple inside were an unexpected, but delicious, surprise. Not as spicy or sour as the name suggests, or at least I didn't find it to be. Regardless, I still demolished my food in like 5 minutes lol. When I'm back in town, I'll def be coming here! read more

Dumpling & Noodle Cart - Sweet Sour Spicy Noodle - Noodles Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

For as popular of a spot as I would expect this place to be, every time I go I feel like I'm in on one of the best kept secrets in all of Richmond. This place scratches the dumpling itch and then some - its menu is so outrageously simple but packs in such a punch. The Double Cooked Pork Belly Spicy is killer, especially when paired with a bite of white rice each forkful, and Sweet Sour Spicy Noodle is a nice change of pace from your standard Asian noodle dish - not just because of the temperature but I just never really saw cilantro and apples working... but... it does...? And of course, the dumplings are the grand finale of it all - delicious and flavor-packed. Wish they were a bit more decipherable between the pork and chicken, but both are great :) Steamed Pork Buns too - so much doughy goodness! read more

Found this gem while on a walk and knew we had to try it. Cute lil place with window seating and a 2nd floor for more seating. Small menu but likely for a reason. Sometimes smaller menus mean the food is gonna be really good - and this is definitely the case here. The pork buns were warm, fluffy and comforting. The twice cooked pork belly was truly delicious - the medium spice level was perfect amount of kick. However we absolutely loved the crispy pork dumpling - juicy on the inside, flavorful, and crisp exterior comes with their dumpling sauce and side of chili crisp if you ask. So good we took two bites and decided we had to get one more order. Price of dumplings was $6 for 7-8 dumplings. The pork belly was the most expensive dish about $15. Can confidently say we will be back to crush more dumplings! read more

The pork pan fried dumplings is the dish to get here, hands down. The chicken bun and noodle dishes I tried were fine as well, but the dumplings were the stand out for me. Other than the first floor, there is also some seating upstairs. Staff were friendly and my order was accurate. read more

Dumpling & Noodle Cart - Noodles Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Dumpling & Noodle Cart offers a simple, straightforward menu of dumplings, cold noodles, and steamed buns. We have wanted to check this place for a while, so we were excited to try it while we were in the area. You order and pay at the cashier, and wait until your order is called; we ordered: +Pan Fried Chicken Dumplings - this came with 7 pieces; filled with chicken, cabbage, and ginger, it's already placed on top of a house soy sauce and spicy sauce; the sauce was just a bit too sweet for us, as it tasted hoisin-like and sugary; we didn't taste any of the 'spicy sauce', and wished there was an option to make our own sauce (soy sauce and chili oil); the skins on the dumplings were a little thicker and doughy, but the filling was juicy and had a pretty good flavor +Sesame Noodles - cold wheat noodles topped with a peanut-sesame sauce, sliced English cucumbers, and roasted sesame seeds; we wished the sauce was more savory and nutty, as it was more sweet; the noodles were cooked well, and it was served cold Staff here are friendly and kind, and this place was busy when we went; there were a handful of seating inside, which also included addition seating upstairs. Street parking is available in the area. +sauces for dumplings automatically dressed & provided +friendly and kind service +street parking is available read more

Just go ahead and try one of everything on the menu...trust me. Everything is made fresh and to perfection. Their sizes are small which is perfect for a snack or light lunch...or order multiple things since their prices aren't bad and their food is amazing. read more

This is such a great spot! The menu is short but full of amazing selections. We ordered a variety of things to try -- pad thai, a veggie bun, and the fried veggie dumplings -- and everything was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Service was quick and easy, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and craving great dumplings and more! read more

Pretty great deal for some authentic northern style handmade Chinese dumplings doused in a thick soy sauce that is slightly sweet. Highly recommend!! read more

Super delicious food! The pork belly was not dry at all. It was bouncy and juicy and spicy + came with generous portion of white rice. There was this smokey wok flavor to them too. Cold sesame noodles were chilled and had a sweet nutty sauce. Delicious. Chicken dumplings were juicy and deep fried. You can tell they make them in house. Food came out really fast as well. Overall would come again :) read more

Was in the area and decided to stop somewhere for a quick bite. Going off of a yelp recommendation we decided to try Dumpling & Noodle cart. Located closer to the center of the city, street parking is the only thing available and can be a bit of hassle depending on the time of day. Inside you'll find a quaint little restaurant with a counter right at front for you to order at. Menu options are limited so finding what you want won't be much of a challenge. I had the pan fried chicken dumplings, the pork bao bun, and the sesame noodles. The food came out very quick (hence the quick bite suggestion) and was very delicious. Staff was very friendly and courteous. My only complaint was that the sesame noodle left me a little lacking but other than that the food was delicious and I'd be more than happy to go back and try other options. read more

If you're familiar with a Charlottesville spot with the same concept, then you'll be in good company. The staff were already helpful offering to help us carry our stroller in because only entrance is up quite a few stairs, but we managed fine. Menu is limited to what the name is, dumplings and noodles (with a few extra items). I really enjoyed the pan-fried dumplings here. It's flavorful, pan fried perfectly and great amount of their tasty sauce. The sesame noodles were missing something. Either some salt and/or sweetness. But the noodles were cooked nicely, just the their version of the peanut sauce flavor wasn't my favorite. Will come again for a quick bite and to try some of their other options. read more

Finally tried the dumplings here. They were very reasonably priced and ready pretty quickly. They weren't incredibly flavorful but I did enjoy the dipping sauce. If you're just looking for a quick bite without breaking the bank, these will do but don't expect anything life changing. read more

I love this casual, cozy, and yummy shop! They have a limited menu so they've perfected each recipe. My partner and I came here for an afternoon date and were amazed that our bill came to only about $15 for three items. We got two steamed pork buns and the pan-fried pork dumplings. I like when my pork buns are sweeter, this was was still good though. We adored the dumplings! The sauce was absolutely incredible (I kept trying to eat it even after the dumplings were gone). It was rich with a sweet and sour tang. We ordered and picked up the food at the front. The cashier was kind. Our food came out pretty quickly. The space is gorgeous. They have a lot of seating available and a great amount of natural lighting. There is a single gender neutral bathroom in the back. I'm excited to come back to try the other dumplings and the noodle dishes. This is a great spot for takeout or dining in. read more

My favorite place to get some dumplings, every time I go to carry town I need to stop here!

Richmond finally has a dumpling storefront similar to Marco and Luca, a campus favorite in areas like Charlottesville and Blacksburg #iykyk Dumpling and Noodle Cart started as a food truck on VCU campus and opened in Carytown right next to Les Crepes. This spot is a favorite for a low-cost, good quality meal. Everything on the menu is $6 and under from the pan fried dumplings, cold noodles, steamed buns, and hot soup! My favorites are the dumplings (get a double order) and the sesame cold noodles (mix the peanut sauce and the dumpling sauce together! ) These menu items bring a sense of nostalgia. Traveling to different campuses via carpool, exploring an area I've never been to, eating at dumpling places like this because of how affordable it is, making fun memories with people I just met, seeing hometown friends in their new habitats lol. They were also great pit stops on road trips heading west If you need a quick lunch option, maybe mid-day merienda, a survival meal, hot soup on a cold day, or just to fulfill cravings, this is a good place to go!

Thursday I stopped by because I wanted something quick. This hit the spot. It's very simple, as its name would imply with a limited menu. Most items are pre-made (both of the items I got were) which meant they were fast and cheap. If you're looking for something cheap and easy this is the place to go. You're not going to be wowed, nor should you expect to be. I would go again if I were in the same position. Between the two items I had, I preferred the veggie bun over the noodles. read more

This is my comfort food. When I need something I can down when I'm feeling down, this is it. The fried pork dumplings is so good!

My family and I stopped in on a whim while in the area. Not having been there before, we opted for family style and ordered several things. The pork belly is uh-may-zing!!!!! It comes with rice and we all just wanted to enjoy it as it was. Flavorful and tender, this is a must. The steamed buns were very good. Pillowey soft without being mushy, as they can occasionally be. Totally worth trying. The dumplings were delightful. Not a single one was left when we were done. An order can easily be a good snack for one. We tried both chicken and shrimp pad thai, and both were good. The proteins were well cooked and thus tender vs being dried out. The servings are slightly hefty, so we wound up with some left over and it was just a good heated up later in the evening. I wish we had this place in our area. read more

Quick service and great food! I opted to dine in. They have seating upstairs and downstairs. The inside is not overly decorated which is fine bc the dumplings and noodles are so good. I had the pork dumplings which were perfectly crispy. The sauce was definitely a highlight! I also got the sweet sour noodles. So good! Its was perfect for a hot day. It's a cold noodle dish with a few thin apple slices. Amazing! read more

I've been eating here since it was a food truck on VCU campus. The food is spectacular! They're the best dumplings I've ever tasted and the homemade soy sauce is mouth-watering. I've even ordered catering from them for a birthday party and the owner threw in some free dumplings. They're so sweet and caring! I can't recommend this place enough. 10/10 all across the board! read more

I have been visiting this place since they opened. They started with a small menu that was both smart and impressive. Over the past year, I have stopped in multiple times to check in on the place and have continued to be impressed. I love good food and an innovative business model. Seeking a new menu item added every few months or so is good news! This means they are doing a great job of taking it slow and building based on customer curiosity. The place is lovely and can be found in Carytown. I love to bring friends here after walking around or for a semi-late snack before going out for the night. This is a fun place for a pit stop! The place is always clean, and there is some additional upstairs seating. Let's make this small business a big deal. read more

So wholesome and favorable!!! I will definitely be returning prices are awesome also.

Good place to get dumplings! Its located in Cary town so its a good place to stop by and get dumplings while shopping around the area. I love how it's pan fried all around giving it a good crisp. The sauce is not on the side it's at the bottom so if you don't like that request it on the side in the beginning. The service is amazing food came out so quick & it's a cute small place. I'd come again! read more

Dumpling & Noodle Cart - Pan-Fried Pork Dumplings - Noodles Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

The menu is super simple with literally dumplings, noodles and some bao. I appreciate the simplicity and they do what they are good at. The food is cheap and yummy. Honestly, I think what makes this place unique is the sauce that's on the dumplings and baos. The sauce is like a sweet and salty thick brown sauce (maybe soy sauce and either some type of plum/oyster sauce.) The baos are served with a similar sauce but with the sweet and spicy chili pepper sauce on top of it too. The baos and dumplings aren't anything out the ordinary but the sauces make it extra yummy and different. You can also tell the dumplings are def homemade with from scratch instead of a store bought dumpling wrap. A few bar stool seatings by the window and a little bit of a wait for the actual food. Overall, I would def come back since it's unique, cheap and it's supporting local of course! read more

I love a good dumpling so I was thrilled when this place opened. It's a very cute location in Carytown sparsely laid out with tables. The menu is very simple with only a few items but everything is very affordable. The employees were very friendly. I got the pork fried dumplings. They made them fresh to order and they were amazing. They were hot and tasty and I loved the thick, sweet sauce they were served with. I have purchased food before from the cart on VCU campus and I can say that the pork bao buns and the noodles are also delectable. Definitely check this place out. It's worth it! read more

Never disappoints! The pork dumplings are and the sauce - so good!! Same concept as Marco & Lucas in cville, IYKYK

Awesome dumplings. The staff didn't really say much but the food came out quickly. Not much seating but thankfully it wasn't busy when I was there. Inside was clean read more

Wanted to like this place after reading all the reviews, but after visiting here, was disappointed! To start with, it was a cold day, and I don't think they bothered to turn the heat on. As was noted, a limited menu which we were anticipating. However, bao were marginally filed and dumplings were mediocre at best. I was hoping for a dumpling house treat and found white bread versions. For the price (almost $40 for 2 dumplings 2 bao and 1 lackluster soup) I was disappointed and still hungry. For the same price we were filled and very satisfied elsewhere the previous day. Won't return. read more

Ambiance was freezing cold so neither of us took our coats off. We climbed upstairs but that wasn't much better but after making the hike we settled there. Not sure what all the stars are about but to us we paid $3 extra yesterday and got so much more food. This felt like we had apps. Tiny food but we ate it and felt like we were gypped of a satisfying meal. Please provide heat for your customers and please don't make us bus our own trays because that's tacky especially for what we have paid for your food. read more

Such a solid spot! I've been here a few times now and each time have been greeted by the nicest staff, ordering is smooth and service very quick considering everything is made to order. The dumplings are freshly cooked and very crispy with a light sauce, the buns are light and steamy, the cold noodles are so fresh and flavorful! They do have a handful of tables and some high top seating in the front window to watch the sites of Carytown. Highly recommend, definitely a family-run local favorite! read more
