My friend and I were craving some Chinese comfort food so we came to this place. We have been here many times over the years and the review here applies to all our visits to this place. Although the strip mall is rather small, parking has never been an issue. The price point is reasonable and it is affordable. Based on the food and price point we knew this place isn't fancy. We never have to wait long for a table. The service is good and the staff's attitude is warm and welcoming. The quality of soup dumplings is consistently good over the years and we order it every time, despite the fact that its menu is quite extensive. After two rounds of soup dumplings, our tummies are at least half full so we order some fried fish, noodles and string beans. We always feel very satisfied coming here and we'll go back soon! read more

It was a super simple spot for a quick sit down lunch of the vegan dumplings, Shanghai Crab Meat & Pork Soup Dumplings, and spring rolls. The favorite was the crab and pork dumplings. Spring rolls were perfectly crisp and flavorful but not so much the vegan dumplings, but they had soy sauce, vinegar, and a hot sauce on our table and that helped heighten the vegan dumplings. You order from a QR code at the table and when paying you just tell the link you're ready to pay and the server brought over the tablet to pay. Ambiance is pretty basic strip mall store front appeal, they have parking in the lot and also along the street. Service is fast too! read more

The food is extremely well cooked and mild flavored. Highly recommend the chicken dumplings, the bok choy (this was the best bok choy I have eaten), mapo tofu and spring rolls. The shrimp and pork shu mai was not up to the mark and was on the hard side. The server/manager needs to show up with a smile instead of the constant disgruntled look on her face. read more

My favorite lunch spot. The food is piping hot and tastes fresh. I usually order to go and never have to wait long for my food.

Food was good, I did come a bit late and they were more than kind to serve us. The dumplings and potstickers have the same vegetarian filling - I felt that I liked the crispy texture of the potstickers more and would go for those again. The spicy eggplant was quite yummy, the sauce was a tad sour but would get again! I also opted for Dan Dan noodles, they were interesting! I did really like them and felt that they were refreshing - but also that they were different to other Dan Dan noodles I've had in the past. I'm beginning to think I've never had the OG taste The place is super casual, service is quick and you order through your phone. I would come back to get my dim sum and dumpling fix but it wasn't extravagant - it was good and I do miss it! I believe you could get consistency here. read more

Solid dumpling spot. V mom & pop feel--a decent amount of seating. Service was quick and efficient. Friendly staff. The dining area isn't big so it gets crowded if the restaurant is busy. There's a private parking lot. FOOD -Green Onion Pancake -Shanghai Soup Dumplings (crab & pork meat) -Xi An Cold Noodle -Spicy Beef Tendon -Lamb Dumplings Plentiful portion for all of the dishes ordered. I'd say a good bang for your buck. Everything tasted OKAY. Some dishes tasted better than others. Not anything amazing. read more

Hole in the wall. Found this place thru Yelp and been wanting to try a local business for dumplings. We were craving some authentic dim sum style food. We came for dinner and it wasn't crowded at all. Small place. Parking is a challenge tho. Anyway, got seated right away. Decided to order some of the dumplings, Mongolian beef and string beans. Oh and some spicy wontons. Forgot to take pics of them: Mongolian beef was a bit salty, but manageable. I loved the dumplings! Super tasty and filling. Would come back here to try the rest of the food, but overall it's good here. Support your local business! read more

My friend introduced me to this local dumpling shop, and we visited together. The restaurant space was small but offered quite a few options. We ordered dumplings with two different fillings: one with lamb and the other with pork and chives. Their pork shrimp wonton with chili oil was very flavorful. I also really enjoyed their beef pancake roll; the pancake was crunchy, and the beef was tender. The salt & pepper tofu was crispy and well-seasoned -- a very comforting meal! Their price was reasonable too~ read more

Solid, no frills, affordable. This is a hole-in-the-wall dumpling shop but surprisingly still has plenty of seating and good service. The food comes out pretty fast and hot! I really like their beef noodle soup. It's good and consistent. They are slightly cheaper than nearby Top Dumpling. read more

Online ordering and timing of the pick up was quick Chicken chow mein has more flavor than the chicken fried rice The fried rice had a good amount of egg and chicken in every bite a thought to have seasoning packets to increase the flavor of the fried rice a little bland The chicken chow mein had a good flavor The cooking oil tasted fresh and not over abundant read more

I've been here a few times when I was craving takeout. Can't speak for their sit down service. Solid dumplings and good appetizers, really good Mongolian beef! Not the biggest portions but I guess that's just today's economy. They're a solid option if you're craving good takeout in the area. read more

Friendly staff, food came out fast, pretty decent pricing in today's economy, and delicious.

DD is a family owned restaurant in a small strip mall. It's a no frills place that you go to for the food and not the decor or service. Recommend: - XLB which come six to an order, the skins are not too thick while also not breaking when you pick them up at the top with a chopstick, sufficient soup with a decent portion of meat and taste - Beef Noodle Soup with Pickled Vegetables with plenty of beef, noodles and contrasting pickled vegetables (collard greens?). The pickled greens has a tanginess that complements the saltiness of the meat and soup. - Marinated Beef Rolls which did not require a dipping sauce like other places. The beef was tender and marinated while the exterior roll was crispy. - Lamb and Napa Cabbage Dumplings which were tasty and not gamey. Overall, a good place for affordable, quick and tasty eats. read more

This is my go to Chinese eatery in Sunnyvale. I usually get a noodle, veggie, and dumpling plate. All dumplings that I've tried are amazing and fresh here. The bok choy is my favorite to get here, the cucumber salad is delicious too! Dan Dan noodles are a must, unless I'm feeling something soupy. The potstickers were also pretty good. This restaurant has my favorite hot sauce. Tangy and a good spice level. We always get seated right away, sometimes it can get busy but there's always available seating quickly. The servers are quick and very attentive to their customers. Definitely love coming here for a quick meal. The restaurant cleanliness is what you'd expect when you go to a Chinese place that's cheap and delicious. This whole meal costed 46.70$ for four plates. With a Yelp check in discount of 10%. Dumpling depot is a must try! read more

Lots of dumpling options here. We tried the soup dumping, pork and chives dumpling, fried stuffed pancakes with chives and eggs, beef noodle soup and shrimp and pork dumpling in chili sauce. Pork and chives dumpling are great. The texture of the dough is just right and the filling is juicy. Would recommend this one. Soup dumpling - I'm on the fence. I think it's good but the dough is really soft here which is surprising compared to the other dumplings. Beef noodle soup - it's good but I've had better. Noodles are on the softer side if you like that. Lots of beef and a giant portion if you do order though. Last two items I would skip. Presentation looks nice but I felt the flavor was lacking. I would put your money into this boiled dumplings instead! Those are addicting. Check in for 10%. Pay in cash for 5% off. read more

This is a great hole-in-the-wall spot! Good dumplings and noodles for a fantastic price in the area. We came for a quick lunch and ordered the marinated beef roll, xiao long bao, lamb and napa dumplings and beef stew and tendon noodle soup to share between 2 people. We loved the beef roll which came with nice slices of marinated beef and pickled cucumbers giving it a great crunch. Even better the pancake was perfectly crispy and it felt substantial (comes with 4 pieces) without being too heavy. The lamb and napa dumplings were also great with a nice juice lamb center. We also did see people come in to order frozen dumplings to bring home. The portion sizes are large and everything would be good for sharing including the beef noodle soup. Definitely will come back for a simple lunch. Our meal came under $50 for the amount of food, we were definitely full. read more

It's quick, doesn't break the bank, and is filling. I came by with a group of 4 for lunch on a Saturday and didn't find it too busy which was a relief. We ended up ordering a few dishes such as the Xiao Long Bao, Scallion pancake, Dan Dan noodles, and string beans. We enjoyed everything but were surprised with how the Dan Dan noodles came out, maybe I have limited experience with DD noodles but the noodles were thicker, and the dish was more "saucey" than expected. Definitely different from what I have had before but not bad. One disappointment was how they had chili oil but it didn't have any of the chili seeds/flakes in it that bring texture/flavor to it. Additionally, it wasn't spicy. I'm not sure if I would come back considering the plethora of similar restaurants in the area. read more

I've had take-out a few times from this restaurant and the dumplings are really good. They also stand up to being reheated over the next few days. Not sure if it is my favorite but in this area, I think you get what you pay for in terms of the take-out pricing and quality. read more

Their food is fresh and good. Variety is refreshing. The staff is super friendly. Would definitely go again and try different items.

Small little hole in the wall but has a solid selection of dumplings each of which is well made with a medium thick skin and juicy filling that squirts ever so slightly when bit into. This place was overall good but I would say the dishes aside from the dumplings were above average just nothing to write home about My friend and I ordered the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup, Pork & Chives Dumplings, Pork & Cabbage Dumplings and Cold Spicy Pork Ears. All of which were solid items, the only main complaint was the beef for the beef noodle soup was really chewy and needed to be slow cooked for longer I would come back for the dumplings as expected in the brand name but everything else would be a secondary consideration with the cold spicy pork ears being a close second because it was thinly sliced and well made overall read more

The pork dumplings here are so delicious and juicy. Each one is packed with so much flavor. Highly Recommend

I picked up a couple things to go. The pork and chive dumplings were solid. I meant to order beef stew and tendon noodle soup but I got only tendon. That was most likely my fault because I wasn't clear over the phone. It was nice having a bunch of tendon chunks anyways. The broth had a good amount of flavor while not feeling heavy or rich. I'm wasn't sure if they have a spicy version of the soup with tendon so I added some chili into the soup myself. read more

Keep in mind the hours because they do close in between lunch and dinner. Came for lunch and the food was okay. I ordered the combination fried rice, beef stew noodle soup, pork and chive dumplings and the soup dumplings (XLB). The pork and chive dumpling was probably the best, given the name of this place. There were several inedible meat pieces in the beef noodle soup, there was hard rice in our fried rice, and not a lot of soup in the soup dumpling. I feel like they used few days old rice. Disappointing in taste. Really tiny hole in the wall place. Maybe I should've ordered other items from the menu that sounded promising because the food I ordered today was average. Nothing special. read more

My daughther randomly chose Dumpling Depot. We enjoyed the delicious dumplings and noodles. I will definitely be a returning customer.

Fast service, fresh hot food. We got spring onion pancakes, 7-8 types of dumplings, potstickers, pork and green beans, combination fried rice and everything came out super fast and was delicious. This place is no non sense, order food, get delicious food, you eat and walk out place. If you want ambience and the staff asking you every 5 min how you are doing- go have come to the wrong place! read more

The food was good, however the lady working at the restaurant demanded a tip even though we ordered online and had no service. Especially telling me asking "no tip, why" and demanded a cash tip afterwards. I suggest ordering to go preventing a similar incident occurring. read more

Scrumptious deliciousness. I ordered the soup dumplings and the Won-ton soup I will definitely be ordering again.

Some things to know about dumpling depot are that it is not open before 5 PM and that there are very few places to sit, but if you were in the mood for taking home some delicious dumplings or noodles after jiu-jitsu or tae kwon do, you've come to the right spot read more

I don't know what to rate these folks, but do you see how much food they give you with such little sauce. This is a common occurrence. Notice I say common, because the taste of the food keeps us going back. If you ask for more, they give you just one "extra" sauce container. Imma give them a 3 because you can't really enjoy it like you like with such little sauce. read more

Fantastic. Great choice for carnivores and vegetarians and vegans. The highlights of our visit were the Green Chive Dumpling with Egg, the Green Onion Pancake, the Vegetable Chow Mein. The "vegetarian" Dumpling was also good, as was the Vegetarian Potsticker and the vegetarian Spring Roll.

Average-looking restaurant with average food and service. Good for a nearby quick bite, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. The dumplings and xiao long baos were good flavor and wrapping was perfectly cooked - not too soft or hard. Spicy beef tendon soup definitely had a kick. It was a little too heavy, the broth was not great. It's also a self-order restaurant - you scan a QR code and order what you want. Servers were attentive enough when we needed something, which I don't mind at all. If you're looking for a quick bite and don't mind service quality, this is a nice spot. read more

Delicious dumplings served in a no grilled environment. This hidden gem is tucked away in a small strip mall in Sunnyvale. The decor is very basic and the location is small. There was one server covering the whole location on a Friday lunch time around 12:20pm. However, we will able to get our food relatively quickly. We tried serval things but the classic pork/chive was the best! Soup dumplings were also very flavorful and cooked perfectly. Pricing is very reasonable as the 4 of us ate a lot of food for $70! read more
