Happy with my beef noodle soup (the broth was very homemade tasting, not overly salty, definitely no MSG. Beef was a bit tough but still fine. Wish there was more bok choy though) - you must add black vinegar and chili oil for it to taste A+. Shrimp dumplings were quite good IMO. Very nice waitress also. read more

Dumpling King - Beef Noodles - Dim Sum Near Me - Austin, Texas

I suggest eating in! Although this place gives a chain restaurant vibe I have to say, the country music bumping while you eat gives an eclectic Texas feel. Service was good and the young lady was helpful with our questions as it was our first time. We of course ordered the dumplings! My wife the Beef Celery dumplings (steamed) w/ the beef and broccoli plate & I the Lamb Cilantro Dumplings (fried) w/ the black fungus plate. We each agree the dumplings were good yet lacking a little on flavor as well as the fried rice. The beef & broccoli was good and the broccoli was cooked nicely (with that little crunch). I loved my mushrooms! The red onion and the cilantro with a slight bit of heat from the sauce on the cold dish was perfect. Perhaps a little pricey but worth a try. Enjoy read more

I'm a bit conflicted about this place. The food was solid but not great. I'd say my overall experience was enjoyable but not sure readily that I'd recommend this place. I thought the pork and pickled cabbage dumplings were pretty delicious. I wasn't a big fan of the pork and shrimp dumplings (I just don't prefer shrimp in my dumplings). The chive and egg dumplings were delicious but kind of lacking in filling. We had these pan fried and they were a tad on the greasy side. The way these were pan fried were great though. The bottom had a nice crispy crunch. I think the biggest disappointment was the pork belly rice bowl. I think it's a tad overpriced and a little bland. I'm a little tempted to come back to try some other things but I do wish they had some other stuff on the menu that wasn't American Chinese. I would come back to get some of their chili crisp though. Love me some chili crisp. read more

Mix of truly authentic Chinese dishes and classic favorites. The dumplings are to die for. The fried rice is light and delicious. You don't feel like you're eating half of what feels like just oil that makes some fried rice so heavy. This place knows how to cook up a bowl that will leave you wanting more. They stated that they use healthy oils and organic ingredients, I can't verify that, but I can believe it by the taste. The serving staff are sweet, some of the staff are rather light on their English, which isn't a problem at all, you can sit right down at a table and order right off your phone by scanning a QR code. I came in once after running a marathon and boy you can get your fill here, they also gave me a Chinese calendar for free! Usually quiet, spacious, never had trouble finding a seat. read more

I walked in on 4th of July because I a had a strong hankering for some beef noodle soup. There was no signage to seat yourself nor was I greeted to do so. I walked to the window ordered and paid. The restaurant was not too busy yet I still waited 30 minutes for the soup to arrive at my table. The soup was very underwhelming. The noodles were by the best part, cooked super well and you could tell it was fresh. Sadly that's where the positives end. The bowl lacked a proper portion of beef and the broth was just not good. There was also two pieces of steamed broccoli and not the broccoli one would expect in noodle soup. The broth was hazy and tasted like chicken bullion with cilantro and gree onions, I still have that bullion flavor in my mouth as I write this. I'll have to try their dumplings before I say I won't return. But if you are looking for beef noodle soup head over to Chen's because this is not the spot. read more

Dumpling King - Taste of Home Handmade Dumplings Beef Noodle. Very little beef, good noodles, salty broth, and regular 'ol broccoli - Dim Sum Near Me - Austin, Texas

New dumpling spot! Theres not too many in austin so i was excited to try. We got the shrimp and chives, egg and chives and pork dumplings. They were all tasty and steamy when it came out but i feel like there was too little filling inside all of them and they were pretty small. The sauce selection was pretty good though with soy sauce vinegar and chilli oil- and there are plenty of tables with pretty fast service. You can order at the front and they bring your food to your table. read more

I was so disappointed with the braised pork belly I just set it to the side for tomorrow lol I just thought there would be a better serving size ngl. But I'd definitely come back here again and try other dishes read more

I placed an order for pickup, which ended up taking over an hour to receive for whatever reason. I assume they lost my order ticket or gave the order to the wrong person. As I waited, I observed people coming in, placing large orders, and leaving. I didn't receive any apology or explanation. The restaurant wasn't even that busy. It's unfortunate the service is poor because the steamed dumplings I ordered were the best I've had in Austin thus far, although a bit on the pricier side. read more

This restaurant recently moved from the ghost kitchen location (PrepATX) to the Chinatown center. They have homemade dumplings with a variety of fillings, braised pork and beef dishes, some rice/noodle dishes. I actually really enjoyed their sauce bar, which includes their homemade chili oil. This can be purchased in bulk as well. The dumplings were pretty average, didn't disappoint but also they were only offering boiled ones at the time of my visit (6/8/22). Lots of parking since it's in the Chinatown center and low noise level. Our party of 7 arrived around 6:30pm on a weekday and it was not busy, but the place was actually packed by the time we left. read more

I loved the dumplings here at ToHHD. I had the offering of Shrimp Dumplings and Beef Celery Dumplings. The Shrimp Dumplings were filled with South American wild fresh shrimp, organic eggs and farm raised leeks. The Beef Celery Dumplings were filled with organic beef head meat and organic celery. I personally loved the Shrimp dumplings over the Beef Celery Dumplings. However, both had that nostalgic texture that comes from fresh handmade pasta that the handmade dumpling wrappers delivered. One could tell that labor of love that is put into these offerings if you have ever made fresh pasta from its basic ingredients. To top it all off, the Secret Chili Oil condiment that they make was an incredible pairing. It was spicy but it delivered flavor enhancement instead of shear heat. For me, this was what help make the Beef Celery Dumplings more inviting. They also offer a fresh Garlic Paste sauce was a little strong for my liking that others may find appealing. I will be returning to explore the menu of their other offerings. read more

this is a new location with sit in dining! I heard previously it was a to go place only. located in the chinatown plaza, there's lots of parking. we were told it was a 40 minute wait for our food which was fine! we heard really good reviews and wanted to try it out. they rang our buzzer as each dish was ready however our friends have waited for 1.5 hours and haven't received their food yet. everyone else at our table already received their order. apparently they mistakenly crossed off our friends' receipt that they received their food already and must have gave it to someone else. we keep asking every 15 min as we see people who just arrived getting their food. at this point, our friends aren't even hungry anymore. we finally got our order after 2 hours. they were nice enough to give us some extra food but not sure if it's because people left from waiting too long. a better system needs to be put in place. we won't be coming back until it happens. the dumplings are great but not worth the wait. read more

Dumpling King - Pot pork. Get it!! - Dim Sum Near Me - Austin, Texas

I went here on a rather rainy night to try some dumplings and noodles. We ordered the dumplings with pork and leek inside as well as some stir fried noodles (similar to lo-mien). Everything just tasted okay but seemed to be lacking the flavor that i'm used to with homemade dumplings. Maybe my expectations are too high but this place is just okay and not a favorite. When it comes to Austin's dumpling scene I think that Lin's, Qi's, and places like Chens noodles still rank higher in my top tier of places to get dumplings. read more

Dumpling King - Dim Sum Near Me - Austin, Texas

Mom and I came in tonight ready to stuff ourselves with delicious dumplings and pork belly-- however, that was not the case. They sold out of the pork belly dish. I settled for the beef noodle soup. We also ordered pork, shrimp & chive steamed dumplings and the pork & picked cabbage steamed dumplings with the savory plum drink. The drink and noodles came out quick enough but $10.99 for a bowl of hard noodles and 5 thin slices of beef... not worth it. Now, on to the dumplings. They did say it would take about 15 minutes for the steamed option. It ended up taking 30 for one to come out and nearly 40 minutes for the other. Please keep in mind it was not that busy when we came in (7:30pm on a Thursday), so I can only imagine how long it would take if they were busy. The dumplings were disappointing. Flavors were bland and the dumpling skins were hard and chewy. Uneven in size (see pic below). 40 minutes for these: not worth. Other things to note: it is a self service restaurant; you can see them fold dumplings which is cool, but they weren't wearing gloves; they don't accept AMEX. I believe they did just recently open so that's why I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1- I will give them another try in the future. read more

Food was great. Lamb dumplings were excellent. Would love a vegetarian dumpling option. Also, would suggest full sized napkins.

Fresh dumplings that are generally better than Steamies, but I liked some of their non-dumpling dishes more including their slurpable beef soup (we want to try the spicy version next time). The wheat noodles were super fresh and the clear broth was very flavorful without being oily. The sweet and sour pork chops (forgot the name, but it's a chef recommended dish) had a nice vinegary punch and were crunchy on the first bite and tender in the middle. The dumplings were hit or miss. On the whole, they are more elegantly made with a thinner wrapper. The lamb cilantro was my favorite. The xiao long bao were too large with little liquid. The pork cabbage dumpling has a mealy texture. I think the cabbage was ground too much and should have been chopped larger and not minced. On the whole, this is a better dumpling shop than Steamies. The wrappers are freshly made and the ground meat is not as dense and silkier than the dumplings at Steamies. It is not Din Tai Fung, but a B+ attempt. The non-dumpling dishes seemed to be better for us. I would definitely come back to try some of the other dishes. read more

The good news: we found a new restaurant to enjoy in Chinatown. The bad news is the other place we enjoyed closed due to the lingering effects of COVID. This new establishment is in the same center. It's clean, the food is fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced. I love that they do not use disposable silverware and chopsticks- though the chopsticks are plastic, they are reusable as are the drinking cups. The staff was friendly and prompt. My guy knows his way around Asian cuisine, and gave it a "thumbs up" too. Walk around after your meal and check out the shops and the market in this strip center. It makes for an enjoyable date. read more

The place is rather obscure to find initially as you have to drive through unmarked gates but if you use google maps it does take you to the right place. Just look for the green building that says Prep at the end. It is part of a shared kitchen in which you can wait inside the green building to pick up your order. There are dining tables both inside and outside the building so you can take your pick. Since it is a shared kitchen, there are also other restaurants in the same shared kitchen area that you can order from and try out if you want. So far, I have tried the following dishes: pork shrimp and chive dumplings pork pickled cabbaged dumplings beef celery dumplings lamb cilantro dumplings pork feet in secret sauce pork ear cold noodles with chicken shreds beef noodles True to the restaurant's name, the dumplings are the primary staples and what I would recommend as well (and maybe the pork feet in secret sauce). Out of the dumplings I have tried so far, I liked the beef celery and lamp cilantro dumplings the most. Looking forward to coming back and trying the other dumplings when I get a chance. read more

Strange service at a walk up window. People were nice enough but didn't seem like they had any experience with dine-in restaurants. More like eating bbq at a picnic table. Ordering may be a better way to go. Definitely not a place for dinner. Only a handful of flimsy cocktail napkins are provided with plastic reusable chopsticks. Hot tea was served in a beer glass?? No customary cups for tea. Food was fresh, served in the steamer bamboo baskets they were cooked in. If you move the stack to get to items below the top basket, they drip all over the table. The tea bags were a strange floral herbal flavor. Xiao long bao (soup dumplings) were flavorful and good sized, but the dough is a little too thick. I prefer Julie's or Lin's soup dumplings. Hot and sour soup was good. However, there are too many other dining options to ever come back. Dining room gives a fast food vibe without paper-wrapped sandwiches or styrofoam containers. Still, this is not the place for me. read more

The food was good but I like being given the option of adding my own tip amount. We had to scan a code at the table to order and a tip was automatically added. I would have actually added my own, greater tip onto the total. The fact that they were presumptuous and sneaky enough to add their own tip, simply means we will NOT be returning and did not leave as much as we would have normally left. Poor form. Very poor form. The dumplings were okay and my husbands fried rice was nice. read more

Taste of Home has great dumplings and is definitely worth the visit. We pass by Taste of Home frequently enough when we visit First Chinese, Bambu, and Pho Saigon and we decided to pay our first visit and we were not disappointed. The seating, ambiance, and service are appointed as you should expect from an authentic Asian restaurant. We took yelpers' advice and generally stuck with the dumplings. We had the fried lamb dumplings, xiao long bao, steamed shrimp dumplings, cold black mushrooms, and beef noodle soup. All of the dishes were enjoyable and I rank them in the order listed. The dumplings were flavorful and juicy and did not skimp on filling. The cold mushrooms were accented well by the red onions. If there was one thing that I would have preferred differently, it would be that the beef noodle soup would have had a more flavorful broth. We had a great experience and will be back. read more

The best meal I had while in Austin. We got 3 types of dumplings and spicy beef noodle soup. Cuttlefish, beef and celery, and shrimp steamed dumplings. Loved the sauce bar with soy sauce, vinegar, garlic paste, and chili oil. The dumplings were good, but even better with my soy sauce/garlic/chili oil. The spicy beef noodle soup was so good. Spicy and flavorful. The meat was so tender. The noodles were perfect and even better dipped in my sauce. read more

So hear me out, the best thing about taste of home is the pork shrimp chive dumplings pan fried. For the longest time I would always get them at prep ATX and when they opened their brick and mortar I was really happy. I ordered their pan fried dumplings, steamed egg and chive, and some boiled dumplings. I also got their pig feet and beef noodle soup. The beef noodle soup was bland beyond belief and needed chili oil . The dumplings were great. The negative about this spot is they chose to only do boiled dumplings for the longest time since they were short staffed. Now they finally have pan fried dumplings and I will be returning! read more

Dumplings for lunch are a no brained after a long weekend. I ordered the Beef Noodle Soup and Shrimp Pork and Chives Dumpling. The beef noodle soup had a delicious broth that I added some chili oil.

It's good for what it's is, and it's dumpling. I can here when they were a ghost kitchen and the food was great back then. Now I can back with a group again for their brick and mortar store. In general I think the shrimp pork and chives dumpling was really good. So as the lamb dumpling and cuttlefish dumpling. The others are hit and miss. The pig feet was great when they were a ghost kitchen but now, its no where as good. Overall good dumplings but don't expect other fish to be as good. read more

**Please take note! Taste of Home is going to have a new location on Lamar soon, but if you're picking up from the location off of Anderson/183, it's a bit tough figuring out where to go the first time. Drive straight in, all the way to the back, take a left at the top, and keep going through the gated area. It doesn't seem like you're really supposed to at first glance, but once you do, you'll see the ghost kitchen location ahead on the right. Ok, so first off, Taste of Home has some seriously nice takeout-ware. I've never seen packaging like this before--even the chopsticks were a nice, heavy bamboo set instead of the usual flimsy takeout chopsticks. Why am I mentioning this? I really think it speaks to the level of quality and pride the owners take in what they're making. Taste of Home currently operates in a ghost kitchen, so every order is served as takeout, although there is a common area inside with some tables set up for all the restaurants operating there. I ordered the pine nut shredded potatoes and the cold noodles with shredded chicken. I wish I'd taken into account how similar the seasoning usually is with both of these dishes (it was almost identical in this case) but they were both still delicious! They both had prickly ash oil, which is that Sichuan spice (it's sometimes in peppercorn form) that makes your mouth tingly and sometimes numb. I loooove that stuff, so that was awesome. In my experience, there seem to be two main versions of both dishes. Version one has some vinegar and sugar in the sauce with the prickly ash oil, and honestly, that's my favorite version. Version two is more about sesame oil and prickly ash, also mixed with peanut sauce for the cold noodles. I was a bit sad that they serve version two because I love the slightly sweet and tart taste of version one, but this was the best of any version two I've had. The noodles (which were super yummy) are served separately from the veggies and chicken, and the sauce is in a little container inside so that nothing gets soggy while you drive home. The portions were nice too! I'm really looking forward to trying out more items. It's very clear that the owners love food and care a lot about what they put out. read more

This restaurant replaced TC Noodle House, so my family had to come try out the new place! Walking in, the place looks really nice and clean. Similar to HMart, you order first, receive a beeper, and find yourself a table to sit at. There is self serve sauces which were garlic sauce, chili oil, soy sauce, and red vinegar. There is a big window so you can see the chefs HAND MAKING the dumplings! However, when going up to order, almost all items my family chose to order were out and they only had the "boil" option available. So, we ended up ordering whatever dumplings they had available. The dumplings were just okay, but out of all of them, the pork shrimp & chive dumplings were the best. We ordered pork ears and they weren't heated all the way because the sauce was still sticking to the meat like jello. Unfortunately, we will most likely not return. However, I did see a lot of people enjoying their noodle bowls, so might give that a try! read more
