These were probably the best dumplings I've ever had. We ordered the pork ones with black vinegar and ginger sauce-so good! The Dumpling Queen is on the patio of Abby's Hwy 40 which is a really fun bar in downtown Reno. Love the patio! read more

Only soup dumplings I've found in town. Hits the spot always. Love the outdoor seating area with the fire pits. And they got a DJ on the weekends that's always a vibe! I always do the 10-10-10 for all three flavors and all the sauces! Takes a minute to cook but the staff is always nice :) read more

Great food and really good flavor First time going and didn't know what I really wanted, the lady taking our order Thursday night took her time with myself and family. The outside seating area was really cute and cozy next to the fireplace. read more

I order only dumplings from this place. This might be a hidden gem in Reno. Prices are very reasonable, service is very fast and the ambiance is okay! If you have a late-night craving for dumplings in Reno, this is the best place! There is another place within UNR that serves the best dumplings, but that place remains closed during the Summer session! read more

I have been wanting to try Dumpling Queen since it opened, I'm so glad we finally made it over! The airstream is so cute, the patio area is friendly and inviting and who doesn't love fire pits! The staff were both super helpful and quick to make quality recommendations. The dumplings were piping hot (as they should be) despite the cold cold weather and of course the XJC dumplings were tasty per usual. We tried the chicken, pork and pork with shrimp dumplings and my favorite was for sure the shrimp and pork, especially with the hot mustard aioli and black garlic ginger sauce. Really, really enjoyed the black sesame and the ginger ice cream that they offer for dessert. Looking forward to coming back in the summer for a chill night on the patio! read more

Very very good dumplings. The soup dumplings are kind of small, like chicken nugget size. But very good! Service was fast and the backyard setting is cute read more

If you know me, you know there's one food that reigns supreme in my heart: xiao long bao. I will literally drive an hour out of my way in the Bay Area to hit up some of my favorite dumpling spots, and when I heard that Reno FINALLY had a place that served them, I just about had a heart attack. It seemed like THE perfect place for my hundredth review! The concept is cute enough- dumplings are prepared out of a little air stream trailer parked Abby's Highway 40 bar (which is also very cute, but I didn't get anything there to review). Plenty of outdoor seating and a large TV playing football, although when I went none of the heating elements were on. You place your order at the trailer and then you wait for about 15 minutes while they steam the dumplings. The good- Pricing is decent- 5 dumplings for $7, 10 for $13. I opted to get two different types of dumplings, the shrimp/pork and the pork dumplings. They also are working on a vegetarian option. Where the meal really shone was the sauces. I got the chili crisp and the black vinegar and both were really good. I also appreciated the volume of sauce that you get. The meh- the dumplings are prepared from frozen dumplings (per their site, a partnership with XCJ Chinese Street Food out of Washington). I'm happy to have ANY dumplings, so I'm not gonna be picky, but compared to a traditional xlb place where they're making them there they're just okay. The bad- Every. single. one of my dumplings ripped because the cook crammed all of the dumplings into one little basket. When the dumplings touch each other the delicate skin rips and all of the soup pours out. I thought it might be me but looking at other people's pictures, it seems like that's just how they serve them here. Major bummer. Will I be back? 100% I will because I'm a (censored) for dumplings and I'll take what I can get. However, I hope that they reconsider how they serve them. Traditional places serve takeout xlb in small flat aluminum cups or spaced out in an appropriately sized takeout container. Maybe they could consider one of these options so we don't lose the soupy goodness? read more

Love this hidden food truck behind Abby's Highway 40 in downtown! Can't really find soup dumplings anywhere else in Reno. Tried the shrimp and pork, chicken, both bao buns the veggie and pork and the scallion noodles! A few sauces offered to make the perfect bite. The patio here is awesome with huge TV and the fire place has plenty of seating as well. Victor was great he made our food and came out to give us recommendations and explain how to properly eat a dumpling! Dumpling queen? He's a Dumpling King!!! read more

About a 12 min walk from the circus circus so we decided to give it a try. Food is nothing special. We believe it to all be bought it frozen and steamed to order. Came here on Saturday around 6:00pm and surprised we and another couple were the only ones there. I'm giving this place a 4* for the ambiance and 3* for the food. read more

I don't know if these are house made XLBs but all I'm going to say is that they taste a lot like the Mila dumplings from Costco. I also saw one of the workers pull the bao buns from a bag. The dan dan noodles resembled more spaghetti bolognese than authentic Dan Dan noodles. I mean at least you get to eat by a fireplace. read more

I love this space, there's so much outdoor space and it's great for a evening out, there's firepits that you can sit around and the ambiance is great. I came to Abby's for one of their movie nights and ordered the student special of 10 dumplings and an Arizona for $11 and then also ordered their noodles. It ended up taking around 30 minutes for my order to come out and probably closer to 45 minutes for my friends. I felt bad because there was only one employee working in the airstream and he had quite the line of people and was clearly getting overwhelmed with the amount of work he had. The food was tasty and I love the dumplings here but I hope they hire more so that way the service time is quicker and the employees get to enjoy their job a bit more. read more

Online ordering system is not very reliable. Dumplings were good but noodles were all clumped together. Not very impressed.

I believe this was my first time trying a soup dumpling and wow what an explosion of flavor! This was last year but they are amazing and service is sweet and quick! The place is great because it's located right behind a bar and the environment of it is just magical! read more

The place is out of the way but has plenty of parking. The outdoor seating is great with two fire pits large screen TV and plenty of tables and chairs. The food is just ok. Ordered the XLB and when I took a bite I expected it to be super hot but it wasn't. The way it came it came in paper containers made it hard to pickup without popping them. We tried both the noodles dishes and they were just ok too. For the price we paid I would not come again. read more

Food was just ok no where near worth the hour long wait, 30 minutes longer then the estimate wait so I had to stand and wait in the snow for them to finish heating up the pre-prepped food. Wasn't clear this was just a small food truck behind a bar. Parking lot said for bar patrons only or you'd be towed but it was really for dumpling queen too because they are affiliated. read more

Good but most of the dumplings had holes and was dripping.. also, location is really sketchy. Wish they can relocate.

The cutest little airstream serving up delicious treats. Nestled in the back of Abby's 40 l. It's has a wonderful outdoor seating area. Or you can sit inside the Air Conditioned bar. I am a noodle queen so when I saw the dumpling queen offering noodles I had to stop by. I ordered the Dan Dan Spicy Noodles. Perfect cooked noodles topped with spicy pork, peanuts and scallions. I'll definitely be back to try the vegan garlic version. read more

Dumpling Queen - Dan Dan Noodles paired with a non alcoholic garden party from Abby's 40 - Food Trucks Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This restaurant is out of a trailer next to a bar. The dumplings were decent. One of the sauces we ordered was not included. The chicken dumplings had much less flavor than the pork ones. I had never tried the bbq veggie buns before. They have a very interesting texture to them and the flavor of the filling was great. I ordered 15 chicken and 5 pork dumplings and 2 orders of the buns. It was not enough food for the 3 of us who ate, which was myself and my two kids. Keep that in mind, especially if getting the food to go. Service was okay. read more

What an awesome little hidden gem. Located in the patio of Abby's Highway 40 Bar, it's an airstream truck that makes soup dumplings to order. We ordered 10 pork soup dumplings and a bbq pork bun. We were told 15 minute wait, so we headed inside the bar and ordered some drinks. We were here around 9pm, they had 2 fire places going, music, and a hockey game on a projection screen, we grabbed a table and waited for some of the best dumplings Reno has to offer. The chili garlic oil was amazing! We also had their black vinegar ginger soy sauce was pretty good too. I will definitely come back and order more dumplings. read more

Patio seating? Check! Delicious food? Check! The dumplings are handmade, and you can taste that.. They are so good. I have never had such delicious food from a food truck. I crave these. the Dan Dan noodles are amazing. I typically don't do spicy foods.. these are spicy but in such a great way! The patio seating is fantastic and can't be beat! read more

Such a cool spot! I had heard about Dumpling Queen on instagram and it has been on my list of places to try. They have a gravel parking lot in the back with plenty of places to park. We came on a Saturday evening and the ambience is such a vibe! They had March Madness games being projected on a TV screen, string lights lit, and the fire pits going. The large fire pit might be the biggest one I've ever seen. Not only was it aesthetically pleasing, but it also gives off quite a bit of heat to keep you warm on cooler nights. There is a bar next door that shares this patio, so you can go in to get a drink and bring it outside to enjoy with your food. I am in grad school so was able to get their student deal which is 10 dumplings + Arizona iced tea for $10! I got the pork/shrimp dumplings with soy sauce and chili crisp sauce. The wait wasn't too long, we enjoyed sitting out by the fire and watching the game in the meantime. The dumplings were delicious! The dumplings themselves were not too thick or thin, they did not fall apart while eating them. Plenty of filling on the inside. It would've been useful to have a soup spoon in addition to the chopsticks since I was eating each one in 2 bites and did not want to lose too much of the soup from the inside. The chili crisp sauce was amazing! I used it for every dumpling. My husband tried the chicken dumplings and thought the pork/sausage ones were better. I wish they had more side options available, the only things on the menu besides dumplings were spicy peanuts plus some desserts. 10 dumplings were not enough to fill me for an entire dinner for the night (my husband and I are both over 6ft tall and had been skiing all day, we might need more food than the average person!). I'm sure they might expand their menu eventually, but some type of side to go with the dumplings would be nice to make it feel like a fuller meal! I would come here again in the warmer months for an appetizer or late night snack and to hang on their patio, but probably would go elsewhere if looking for a full meal. read more

This place was a little hard to find.. but then we saw the signs to park in the rear. The girl there was super friendly and helpful with our orders. We tried the 5 piece classic pork dumpling and the 5 piece chicken. Both were good...the pork were probably better than the chicken. The broth (soup) in the soup dumplings were good in both. The broth in the chicken dumplings reminded me of the flavor of won ton soup. There is so many dumplings available in other cities but considering that we dont have many choices available here... they were good. The only thing was the size of them... they were pretty small. If you look at the pics the sauce container is bigger than the dumplings. read more

Location wise, this place is not in the best part of town, but what they have done with the place is really nice! Beautiful outdoor patio seating area with fire pits, a screen, and string lights. In terms of food, the temperature of the food was off. Lukewarm rather than hot. The dumplings too also didn't seem handmade and reminded me of Trader Joe's soup dumplings. Services fast friendly, wait was about 40-50 minutes. For the price, not sure I would get again. read more

In town working for the week in Tahoe. My daughter wanted dumplings so found this place and took the drive. I am so glad we did. The dumplings are cooked to perfection and quite tasty. So much so that I had to pick up another 10 when I completed my initial order. Nice calm setting to chill and enjoy the great weather. The gents working were very hospitable and quick to get our food out. 10 out of 10 for me. Run don't walk if you want some good grub!! read more

Delicious dumplings in a unique, vibrant location. I tried both the chicken and the pork soup dumplings, excellent! Enjoyed inside Abby's with a dark beer and two recommended sauces - mustard and a vinegar blend. Seasoned and served perfectly, could have been a bit hotter (I like my food steaming!) Highly recommend and definitely will be back regularly for more. My new dumpling go-to in Reno! read more

The dumplings were amazing. I live sitting by the fire pit and waiting for them to be done having a little bit of sake. Service was great!

Dumplings were tasty, but not as hot as they claimed to be. Ours came out slightly more than lukewarm which took away from the flavor honestly. They also only had chili oil and hot mustard available. I was disappointed at first but when I mixed together it was actually bomb. The chili oil is not spicy at all, which I'm sure would disappoint some folks but it was perfect for me. Overall, probably really good when you're drunk lol. But not the best when sober. Atmosphere was nice though, hanging lights and plenty of seating around bonfires outside. read more

I really wish this place was better :( The online ordering wasn't working so I called and the woman I spoke to hated her life. She decided to take this out on me. So not a great first experience to begin with. The dumplings are only OK. They are not handmade and not worth the price (seriously not worth it) BUT if you are bar hopping in that area then the other reviews are right! These would be great for a snack after a few drinks. Do NOT recommend just eating here for dinner though. read more

Great back area to Abby's. NBA playoff games going on back there which was a fun vibe with the fire pits (until the afternoon rain hit). A tiny bit more $ than I would like to spend, but I love dumplings. read more

Very good dumplings. Love the outside atmosphere with the fire pits. I always see the same owner working and love supporting her business.

I think I've discovered the perfect bar food. This place has a very small menu currently but what they offer is absolutely delicious! If you want to place an order on a cold day and head back inside of Abby's to get warm, have no fear! They have a buzzer system so you can grab your order! If you love hanging out in dive bars listening to mostly old-school music and enjoying a warm soup dumpling... Abby's & Dumpling Queen is the place to be. read more

Noodles were good but incredibly small portion, takes up maybe 1/4 of the box it's served in. The dumplings were not hot inside and the meat was very soft, seemed raw. Cashier and "chef" were unable to tell me if the meat is raw before they are steamed, just "we get them frozen and our new steamer might not be working." Ultimately I was not able to confirm if I had consumed raw meat and it seems like they may not even have a food thermometer to check if their frozen foods are heated through to food safe temperature. Having worked at a small restaurant, I'm shocked they are allowed to operate. It's clear that the two employees taking money and heating the food are not aware of safe food handling practices. Fingers crossed I don't end up with food poisoning tonight For what it's worth, $8.05 to be exact, I was refunded for the dumplings but the entire order was very disappointing. Too bad because I really wanted to believe the other reviews and was hoping to leave a good review for a small business. read more

The location and the ambiance were great! In the other hand the service wasn't anything special. The two people working the night we went were short with us and rude at times. When it came to the food our total was $70+ and it was all mediocre at best. The noodles weren't anything special, the XLB was just okay, we tried a recommended beer which was good, and the ice cream had freezer burn. Maybe I'll go back during the day but for now the service and quality of food was not worth it! read more
