Friendly and quick service. I love that they have dimsum at night. The pork and shrimp sumai and soup dumplings were tasty. Bok choy and wonton soup were also good. The proportions are good and good value for the price. Restaurant is pretty spacious and clean.

Fast and good service, the food was really good we all enjoyed it and pricing was not bad

Visited with my family after this place was highly recommended by a friend, who claimed it was just as good as Din Tai Fung--if not better. Unfortunately, I have to disagree. When we arrived, we put our name down and immediately asked about the wait time. We were told it would be about an hour, which surprised us, but we were okay with it since half of our party was still on the way. We decided to go next door for a drink while waiting. Not even 20 minutes later, I went back to check on our table and found out our name had already been called. We quickly finished our drinks and rushed back, only to wait an additional 20 minutes just to be seated. During that time, we tried getting someone's attention multiple times, but no one acknowledged us. Once seated, I attempted to speak with our waiter, but there was a significant language barrier, which made it very difficult to ask questions or clarify anything. We placed our order, and I will say the food came out very quickly, which was appreciated since we were starving. As for the food--it was okay. Not bad, but definitely not comparable to Din Tai Fung. To make matters worse, a couple of items arrived that we never ordered. We tried to let the waiter know, but we were completely ignored and ended up being charged for them anyway. At the end of the meal, we asked for boxes and were ready to leave, but then the final frustration happened: while clearing the table, the waiter accidentally dropped chili oil on my white shoes. That was extremely upsetting and really sealed the experience for me. Will I come back? Probably not.

We are so happy to have such a great dumpling house nearby vs having to drive to LA all the time. The quality and flavors were so good in every dish we tried and so authentic. Nothing we didn't like. plenty of options to try from. The space is big and can accommodate many so there was no wait. Our servers were so friendly and attentive. You can see them rolling out fresh dumplings as you sit and eat. I hope the quality lasts and they stay open. A great addition to Moorpark.

Such an unlikely type of restaurant in this neck of the woods and literally tucked in a small corner of an outdoor shopping area, which is why on a Saturday at just past 5:00 p.m., I was absolutely shocked to see the Dumpling Shack was completely packed with people... and stayed that way the entire time we were there. They don't take reservations, and we figured it'd be empty at that time. WRONG. It's surprisingly spacious inside, which helped for us to get seated right away. It was our first time there, and we didn't know what to order... or how much for three people (and nobody to ask), so we took our chances and ordered the following... Spring rolls (3 pieces) Onion pancake (approx. 8 small triangle pieces) Pork Xiao Long Bao (8 pieces) Shrimp Fried Rice Chicken with broccoli in sauce Pan-fried pork and shrimp dumplings (8 pieces) Okay, so I happen to know and love Din Tai Fung, so yes, that is my bar for comparison. Admittedly, I don't love all dishes there, but what I love, I use as a bar for comparison. How could I not? That would include their famous Pork Xiao Long Bao ("PXLB"), and nobody but nobody has matched theirs yet. Sorry, but the PXLB at Dumpling Shack doesn't have much in the way of pork or broth flavor, AND the dough is way too thick and gummy. Probably my least favorite dish here, truth be told. What I did love at Dumpling Shack were the pan-fried shrimp and pork dumplings. The dumpling itself was packed with flavor... of course, it was fried, and the dipping sauce was delicious. Why couldn't that sauce have been served with the PXLB... would've helped immeasurably. The shrimp fried rice was tasty, but it needed a bit of help in the flavor dept. I added a bit of soy sauce, and it improved, but I don't know. It was just missing something, and I'm not sure what. The vegetable spring rolls were served immediately upon frying and quite good. The onion pancake, on the other hand, that other Yelpers had raved about, was a miss for me. It just fried wonton... no pancake, and as far as the onion, it was altogether missing, but for about 3-4 microscopic pieces of green onion. I'm not kidding on the microscopic part, or how many. I honestly don't know what that was, but a pancake made of onions, it wasn't. Terrible to pass that off like that. The chicken broccoli dish was prepared decently as in chicken was tender and the broccoli was soft enough but still with a slight crunch, and while flavorful with some kind of brown sauce, it just wasn't with any "wow" factor... just a boring brown sauce with no special flavor. It did, however, pair nicely with the fried rice. The service was fast, but it was in reverse. We got our appetizers LAST. We got the fried rice first, then the PXLB and chicken broccoli. Then the pan-fried dumplings, and then our appetizers. The other strange thing is that they didn't want to be asked questions. They only appeared to take the order from you, bring drinks and food, and that was it. NO questions to be asked... I tried. I had menu questions, and I definitely wanted help with making up that little sauce mixture for the PXLB. None of that happened, but they brought our food fast. I think the young men working there are told to just grab our orders and go... no time for talking or answering questions. Who knows. I should add that all the food we had was quite enough for our party of 3 with some leftovers in the fried rice and chicken broccoli. I know I complained of most things, but believe it or not, I liked this place enough that we will return, and I believe I now know how to work with this kind of operation. I will order some different items because they have food items we didn't even explore... just too many to choose from in one sitting, and some we will order again, but make some alterations. The one dish we will get again for sure will be the pan-fried shrimp and pork dumplings. Five stars in my book on that dish. Everything else is up for grabs... but we will return for sure.

Finally got to try Dumpling Shack and was so thrilled I did! I just ordered a few classics and I will definitely be going back to order more off the menu sometimes soon. The Jumbo Shrimp & Pork Shumai really were outstanding, the chunks of shrimp were generous and the pork inside was juicy. I also really enjoyed the pan fried pork dumplings, egg custard buns, and BBQ pork buns as well. I ordered pickup online and was greeted immediately when I walked in the door, they retrieved my order quickly, and bagged it up nicely to go. The restaurant was quite busy around lunchtime, had lots of little tables, was brightly lit from all the windows, and looked really clean inside. It's part of a big shopping center so there is tons of available parking nearby.

I want to love this place....but I have mix feeling about this restaurant. First of all great to have some diversity in town! And amazing that we now have a dumpling place in the area. So why do I have mix feelings: for the price, I thought the quantity was small. The sticky rice was six dollars for a small amount, see picture. This is a just an example of price per size. Soup dumplings seemed deflated: lacked soup. On the positive note you don't have to run to Rosemead. Save gas. The food quality is ok. The best thing was the standard shrimp dumpling. The shrimp was good and the size of the dumpling was pretty good. Unfortunately not everything tasted as good: the pork bun flavor was off. The spicy wonton sauce was oh too salty. I've had this item at a lot of other places and the flavor was not salty but more spicy. As for service: service was good. Water filling was excellent. Ambiance: the restaurant seemed to be very clean and orderly. Despite my pluses and minuses, I would probably try this place again.

Great service, it's often found in Chinese joint and of course we don't expect it either. But this place do well, besides welcoming atmosphere plus crowded joint mostly. Food wise is pretty good, their dumpling skin improves from the first time we tried them that's why I wait a while before trying them back, it's pretty thin skin with flavorful meats. Siomay also not bad at all if not better than most dim sum place we ate. Give them a try their potstickers, and siomay at least. Of must have so far is their onion pancake don't forget, crispy and well try em.

SO HAPPY!! Their food is almost just as good as the food in Chinatown and right next to the freeway! Tip#1: When you walk in, write your name and # of people in your party on the notebook by the door, and wait to be called. We went at 6p and waited for about 20 minutes before our table for 5 was ready. The place was packed and loud. SERVICE is good and QUICK. They were also great about refilling our water and taking empty dishes away. We ordered a variety of dumplings, including har gow and siu mai. Everything tasted amazing and fresh!! My fave dishes = FRIED PORK CHOPS (moist, seasoned perfectly, lightly battered and served sliced- perfect for sharing and easy to eat) , and the BEEF STIR FRIED UDON NOODLES! They were so soft and pillowy and the sweet salty flavor had me wanting more even though I was full. The CHILI OIL is also another hit in my book and complimented every dish,giving it the extra kick of spice I love. My only disappointments were the steamed pork steam buns :(. They weren't as good as they looked. They could use a lot of more filling and sauce. I also didn't see any hot mustard, which I would've love to have had to dip our food into. Nonetheless their food is FLAVORFUL and FILLING. Another fave: CHEESE HONEYDEW SMOOTHIE- super tasty, yet lightly sweet and creamy! Overall I was impressed and will be back for more!

We stopped in to check out this newer restaurant and try some dumplings. We ordered a few different things to try.. Started with a Cheese Mango Smoothie. This was really delicious! Not sure what "cheese" is used, since we've never had a cheese smoothie, but it tasted like a usual mango smoothie, really good. The BBQ Pork Buns were nice. The bun itself seemed fresh, pretty thick and doughy. The BBQ pork didn't leave any lasting impression. Next, the Pork Xio Long Bao (pork soup dumplings) were nice as well. The broth inside was flavorful and these made a tasty bite. Finally, we had the Chicken Stir Fried Udon. This was my favorite dish. Full of flavor, a decent amount of chicken and the thick Udon noodles were perfect. The service was attentive and quick, even during the bust weekend lunch hour that we visited. We were greeted the moment we walked in the door, ordered by circling what we wanted on the menu and the food came out pretty quickly. The vibe is pretty modern, an open kitchen to the dining area, modern ceiling accents and bright lighting. Overall, a good experience here!

Ventura County NEEDED this and Moorpark finally delivered! DUMPLING SHACK where have you been all of my life?! Dim sum has been missing from the food scene here in the 805, and this new spot is absolutely hitting every single mark. From the juicy dumplings, to the pork fried rice, classic noodle dishes, and their huge assortment of boba teas, everything tastes authentic and comforting, like a true taste of home that I had been missing all of these years in the 805. Even on a weekday lunch, the place was packed, but the kitchen kept things moving fast and every table left looking just as satisfied as I was. The service is on point...super attentive without ever feeling rushed. Huge shoutout to server Michael who made me feel so welcome and took such good care of me. The service was warm and everyone eager to serve. Every dish that I ordered I would definitely buy again. The food was all super flavorful, hot/made to order and had classic feel good flavors. If I had to recommend something to start go with their giant shrimp and pork shumai. Always a favorite of mine and here theirs were so so good. I also thought the pork chop fried rice was lovely. The pork was heavily spiced and juicy, with the fried rice being mild yet flavorful. They have the good old-school chili oil here, and I definitely doused all of my food in it. If you've been craving dim sum in Ventura County, THIS is the spot. Run, don't walk.
