We were looking for a place to eat in Wallingford and saw this one on the Google research. Why not? Always down for a good dumpling and noodle meal right? I didn't have high expectations since the menu isn't as big as the other dumpling noodles places in town so we only ordered 3 items: bok choy mushroom dumplings, pork Napa cabbage dumplings and jajang beef wraps. And OMG, everything was so frickin good. Absolutely 5 Star for the taste. I'd say the taste is quite close to the same food in Beijing, China. We are super impressed and will definitely be back to more on the menu. read more

Dumping the Noodle is a great spot for delicious casual dining for people with various dietary preferences. Upon arriving my boyfriend and I were promptly seated, and provided with both the menu and a sheet to mark what we wanted to order. The staff, although kind were not very attentive as far as taking our order or checking to see if we had any questions or how we liked our food. Each time we wanted to order something we had to try to find someone to help. To my delight, there were so many vegan options to choose from. We ordered a few options to share. Each dish had lots of flavor and tasted fresh. One highlight I also did greatly appreciate was the abundance of vegetables that they use in each dish, which you don't typically get at other places. Overall I would highly recommend checking this restaurant out. I will definitely be returning in the future to try even more of their dishes. read more

I came on a Sunday afternoon. Good service, really liked the music indoors. Very fast take out

Beware... I saw this on TikTok and it was NOT anything like din tai fung or dough zone. I saw pictures and videos of this place and read review. It's so fake please beware. SMELL... the smell in here is overwhelming it's musty and gross. Smells like an old person home. The food.... Tastes like frozen from Trader Joe's at best. Some of it is even worse. Maybe the smell wasn't helping but yikes. The meat was in this tight little ball and slide out of a slimey casing. I ordered the most popular stuff, I was not getting too out there. I agree with some of the other reviews that it tasted old and frozen. I'm shocked by the owners claims of it being made fresh daily. It just cannot be the case with some of what I ordered. The service was not great either. Do yourself a favor and AVOID this. I am not one to rank a small business poorly but I feel customers should know about the issues with this place. This is coming from someone who loves both DTF and dough zone. read more

I came here as a replacement for not being able to get a reservation at din tai fung, and I was pleasantly surprised! I think the highlight of this place is the quality-to-affordability ratio. Ultimately I think I prefer din tai fung in terms of overall food and atmosphere quality, but this place was so much cheaper and almost as good. I also think there is a bit more variety to the menu; I would say it has Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese elements to it. Overall, great place! Would for sure go again. read more

Dumping the Noodle is the homey vibe you always wanted. sen and his team created a wonderful dining experience. The food is super tasty and you will leave wanting more. I always enjoy any of the dumplings and really enjoy any of the Lamen noodles. We are regulars here and love coming every time. read more

A very clean and modern atmosphere for pan fried buns, dumplings, scallion pancake rolls, and noodles. Was pleasantly surprised at how clean and modern this restaurant was. Food was tasty, especially the JaJong Beef Pancake Roll. The pan fried buns were flavorful and the two types of lamen and pork napa dumplings were good as well! The scallion pancake was the only disappointment..they were really dry and underwhelming. Hopefully it was just an off day or bad batch. Will definitely be back to try other items when in the area. read more

We came here around 8pm on a Sunday and there was no wait to be seated! The items we ordered: 1. pork shrimp wontons in chili oil - could order again, wonton wrapper was tougher to chew 2. braised beef lamen - enjoyed this dish - thought the beef and vegetables were good and broth was tasty 3. beef bulgogi dumplings - wrappers again were tough 4. beef onion dumplings - wrappers again were tough When you're seated, you're given menus and a ticket to order items off so it's pretty efficient and you can see your pricing as is. Things came out one by one - we shared everything so it wasn't an issue. My word of advice is if you're hesitant about coming here but still low key want to try it, order one or two dishes to see if you like it before doubling down and over ordering because your eyes are bigger than your stomach! The interior design was cute and they had nice utensils and serving dishes. I would say overall, you can find some places better in the area but if you have a craving - this could help hit the spot. read more

The service was quick and the spicy shrimp wonton was my favorite thing here. Satisfied my cravings for Chinese food in Seattle.

Is this what Chinese food taste like?! Sooo good! We're visiting from Florida and all we have there is Chinese takeout. So the Chili the beef Lamen was sooo good!! Thick, wide noodles with a little chew/doughiness. It wasn't too spicy... just a hint to notice it which was perfect for me. It had a little nutty/peanut butter taste to the juice in it. The dumpling and buns had great flavor! The beef rice noodles were too soft and didn't have the same flavor as the Leman. It was good but I definitely prefer the Lamen over the rice noodles We will definitely come back to this place next time we're in Washington read more

My boyfriend and friends and I all love this place! Such good quality--way cooler than Din Tai Fung. It is always a go to for us :) we've tried most of the menu and love it all read more

Decided to come here based on recommendation from a friend- Good beer, fast service, great food so far!

Great noodles. Cool site to eat and play board games in, service was fast and sat down quickly

My friends and I visited the store on Saturday around 2pm and the restaurant was still quite busy even past lunch time. The restaurant doesn't have a big menu but it gives enough variety We ordered a lot appetizers to share, seasoned fried chicken, Bulgogi Dumpling, Tofu Pancake Roll, Beef Pancake Roll and spicy beef dry noodle. One of the fried chicken piece was not fully cooked and it was still raw. Friendly reminder to every customer- if you get a big piece, please make sure it's fully cooked before you start eating. I let the waitress know and she apologized and refunded us. Despite the undercooked chicken accident, everything else was great. The bulgogi dumplings were juicy and delicious, and the beef pancake roll was crispy! Reasonable price and all the food surprisingly filled all of us up! read more

Every dish is always amazing. Some dishes come out immediately and others can be forgotten, but it's always worked out!

Good food, got the pork rib and soup dumplings and some sweet buns. Overall very cute, but expensive for the small portions

Ordered Takeout on Yelp Food: -Shiitake Vegan Buns ($9.75, 4 pieces) - Not large, more dumpling sized, but well made and tasty dipped in the sauces -Beef Pancake Roll ($9.75) - Not large, more veggies than I expected, and the beef was VERY lean (great if you like it that way but I do prefer more fatty meat). Was pretty mildly flavored (recommend adding Hoisin if you have it at home) but loved how it wasn't greasy as beef pancake rolls can sometimes be -Braised Beef Lamen ($11.95) - My friend ordered this, she said the noodles were delicious but the beef was not as soft as usual. The sauce is delightfully spicy and flavorful and I loved the amount of dark green Chinese Spinach as well. Everything was packaged super well! Overall solid spot for my favorite Asian snacks and love that they have vegan options :) read more

Great service and good food! The pork shrimp wontons with spicy sauce were my favorite!

We've been here a few times! It's great, especially for vegetarians & vegans who want plenty of options. A couple of the drinks are really interesting too. Okay ambiance too! read more

When my partner and I went vegetarian a few years ago, one of the few things we missed were dumplings. This restaurant had a number of vegan options and we were especially impressed by vegan wontons in spicy sauce, organic vegan dumpling, and steamed shiitake vegan buns. Although not a dumpling, we tried the kale salad with sesame dressing and it was so good we ordered another bowl so we didn't have to share. I would also like to call out the service because while the restaurant was getting pretty busy, the food came out quickly and the staff kept an eye on our drinks and checked in on us. The restaurant also paid attention to their design with creative lighting and decorative wall coverings. read more

Great food and fast service! Enjoyed the noodles and green onion pancakes. Would come back again

Lovely local noodle spot. Nice variety and tasty food. Not fancy, more of a joint than an establishment, which is just fine when that's what you want. read more

Great atmosphere, comfortable seating and spacious tables. The mix drink were phenomenal, really freshening and tasty. The noodles, buns, wontons were good, but nothing out of the ordinary. Good quality and the portions seem smaller. Service was ok. Overall a good place to try if you are near by but not necessarily something you will go out of your way to try. read more

Food was amazing and the vibes were great. Level of spiciness was enough, not too spicy but at the same time good flavor. Came fast even though we ordered a lot of food. Definitely would come again read more

Dumpling The Noodle - Beef noodle, pork bun - Noodles Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The dumplings are super tasty to the point that we stopped eating dumplings anywhere else in Seattle :) , also the staff is very friendly . Highly recommended !! read more

We used to love this place. Eating their spicy and sour beef lamen was like being transported to another time and place. So incredibly good! Their dumplings were interesting, not legit. But still fun to order and eat. Then something happened a year or so ago and their soup base completely changed. Now it tastes like Americanized beef noodle soup like the rest of their Americanized dumplings. It reminds of me of Americanized Chinese food from the 90s but updated for 2020+. I was telling the waiter the soup is not sour and he said why don't you add in some vinegar. Dude if I could do that I would be eating at home. Anyway perhaps if I feel like wasting 20 bucks I'll try it again but not sure I can tolerate the disappointment. read more

Dumpling The Noodle - This is the Chili the Garlic Tofu Lamen (vegan). Addicting! - Noodles Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Yeah, this place lived up to the hype. I first learned of it on IG when the TwoSeattleGirls posted a reel about how amazing it is, plus affordable, and I'd have to agree. I also liked the backstory of an electrical engineering UDUB student who missed the flavors of his hometown in Beijing. Very enticing. I'm glad we gave it a shot on the Lunar New Year; we'll be back because the vibes were so chill here. I was surprised by how low-key this place is with the various articles and lines out the door for this place. This is a must-try in the city for dumplings and those hand-pulled chewy lamen noodles. If I lived in the area, I'd probably get takeout most nights from this place; glad I'm all the way in Belltown :) If you eat in house, try to get on the waitlist asap; otherwise, you'll be waiting a while. We had multiple dumplings, the JaJang Beef Pancake Roll to start, and the Chili the Beef Lamen. We ended up devouring the lamen; it was so chewy, the meat melted like butter, and the sauce was top-notch, not spicy at all, IMO. We dipped the pancake in the sauce and ate it that way; the pancake was surprisingly so filling on its own so just be aware of that! The dumplings: Bok Choy Mushroom - was the freaking best! I cannot recommend these enough; not only were they so interesting looking since they're green, but the flavor was this herbally taste that was surprising and enjoyable at the same time Beef Bulgogi - eh, I'd pass on these, but glad we at least gave them a try. The flavor was artificial and almost tasted like a sweet perfume. I was NOT feeling it. Pork chives shrimp - was BOMB. Wow, the flavor really came through on these, I could hardly taste the shrimp, but the two types of meat together created this burst of flavor. It was so good! read more

Really good dumplings, noodles and other Chinese items, but small portions given the prices. Plenty of vegan options and tasty food, but you'll pay a hefty price to leave full here. We stopped in for dinner, seeing as they had lots of vegan options. You order dim sum style, in that you check off items on a sheet that you want. We ordered: -Vegan wonton with spicy sauce ($9.95 tax) - this dish came with 7 vegan wontons drenched in their house chili oil. Very tasty, nicely textured, though too oily. Bad value at $10 for 7 pieces. 4/5 -JaJang Tofu Pancake Roll ($9.95 plus tax; vegan) - this dish was like an Asian wrap, like a classic Northern potato roll. The wrap came with fried pastry coated with hoi sin sauce, stuffed with firm tofu and various veggies. Very oily, fried, but damn delicious. 4.5/5 -Kale in Sesame Dressing ($6.55 plus tax; vegan) - fresh bunch of kale coated in a nice sesame sauce, sort of like a Chinese version of goma-ae but with raw, unwilted kale. Very tasty. 4.5/5 -Bok choy mushroom dumpling ($9.95 plus tax; vegan) - very tasty, well-textured dumplings, but not great value at $10 for 7 pieces. -Organic vegan dumpling ($9.95 plus tax) - the better of the two dumpling dishes, but also not great value at $10 for 7 pieces. - Chili the veggie lamen ($14.75 plus tax; vegan) - the noodle character here was almost like instant noodles, but coated in a tasty spicy sesame sauce, with a few greens and minimal tofu. Tasty stuff, but a fairly small portion given the price tag. All in all, very tasty food, especially the dumplings. Not good value, as our bill came to over $65 before tip, and over $75 after. Recommended if you don't care about a good value meal. read more

Absolutely fantastic. Literally everything we ordered was scrumptious. Take your pick of sweet and sour cucumbers, sichuan dry fried string beans, green onion pancake, bulgogi beef dumplings, beef onion dumplings, pork onion buns, or chili beef lamen. Great for a small or larger group. Service was great and attentive. read more

Went to dumpling the Noodle for the first time over the weekend and safe to say I'll be back! We showed up without a reservation around 6:15 on a Saturday night so had to wait a little over 30 minutes but that's to be expected and now I know to make a reservation. Now on to the important stuff, food! We ordered: Pork dumplings- 5/5, flavorful, not too thick of a wrappe Scallion pancakes-3/5, lacked a bit of flavor but still yummy Garlic tofu lumen noodles- 5/5, hand pulled noodles in such a yummy sauce. These were great the next day as well Vegan buns-4/5, I'm not a vegetarian or mushroom person but these were yummy! Crispy Chicken wontons - 3/5, probably wouldn't order again. They were fine but didn't stand out Staff was friendly but it's not a restaurant where you chat with the staff much and we did have to flag them down for the check after a little bit. Overall great place and a good more affordable dumpling option. For 2 people it was around $55 with some leftovers for the next day read more

We went for restaurant week and tried the vegan explorer which came with dumplings, wontons, noodles, wraps, cucumber salad, and green beans. All of the food was very good with the chili the tofu lamen being my favorite since the noodles were very thick and fresh tasting. The food came very promptly and the servers were very helpful. We had tons of leftovers and they reheated very well for lunch the next day. read more

The good here was pretty good! The Peking duck was delicious, the dumplings were juicy, and the honey sunflower shrimp was probably the best I've had in Seattle! It was so warm and crunchy and sweet and savory, the perfect blend. The lamen noodles were nice and chewy! The green beans were alright though. We were able to easily make a reservation, service and food came out fast. Ambiance is casual/nice, nice for a weeknight or weekend dinner. read more
