Braised beef noodle was fire Sichuan style wonton was a my girlfriend favorite Pan fried porn bun was fire as well came out fresh and hot careful with this one lol Shrimp and pork soup dumpling Shrimp and pork shumai WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND TO VISIT
Let me start by saying it's freaking hot outside. If it isn't freaking hot outside for you, go ahead and skip to the next paragraph, because the following won't apply to you. We walk in and we are next in line. You use the tablet to put your name and phone number in and than you wait. They let us know that we are next, and that even though they have a small room available, their AC can't keep up with the weather outside, so they aren't using it. Just around the corner from the entrance is a large AC floor unit running. I don't know if the main unit on the roof is out, or it just can't keep up with the 105-ish degree weather outside. I don't know. Anyways while we wait, more and more people start showing up. They let us know that they are waiting for a large table for us, party of 5, to open, so they start seating smaller parties ahead of us. They estimate 20 min wait for us, but it was closer to 30. Meanwhile, the boys and I are sitting in the small room around the corner, while my wife and daughter sit near the door. Slowly I can feel the temperature in the small room creep up as more people come in. My wife tells me later that everytime the door opened, the heat just poured in on her. I start to wonder if the wait is going to be worth it. As it is, I'm already tired and hungry from a very long 3 day weekend. 15 min in, I go to the restroom to splash my face and wet a paper towel so I can wipe my face periodically. After 20 min, more people that have come in after us start getting seated too. Now I'm getting irritated. I say all this to you to say, if it's hot outside and you are determined to eat here, come at a time when it's not so busy. And keep your party to a max of 4. When we finally sat down, we were at a table designed for 8. Felt like a waste. Moving on. In the time we had to wait, plus the drive over, we have already started to narrow down what we want. I'm trusting in my wife at this point because she found the place and was able to research a few of the dishes. It's pretty cool that you get to see the workers preparing the dumplings as you walk in. We order 6 plates-seafood fried rice, Sichuan style wonton, house special beef roll (henceforth known at the burrito), tan tan noodles, deep fried dumplings and classic pork house soup dumplings. Honestly everything is good! The Sichuan wasn't that spicy to me, which I don't mind. The tan tan had a very distinct buffalo wing flavor. Probably the most filling plate was the "burrito." The deep fried dumplings were kind of basic honestly. Good starter for someone afraid to dip their toes in new foods. The classic pork house soup dumplings are something everyone should try if they want to jump in head first while still keeping it safe. My oldest continues to surprise me with his orders, this time the seafood fried rice. Even my picky youngest wanted to try an octopus tentacle. I do think we could have gotten away with ordering only 5 plates. With 6, we were stuffed and took home leftovers. I'm going to skip the AC situation in my rating. At least they tried to remedy the situation. Some things are unavoidable. I did take issue with the music, which I couldn't really hear at the table. While waiting though, I could hear that the music was uncensored. That means a heard every N* word and other curse words while I waited. Given the location, it was a curious choice in music. Overall, come in small groups of 4 or less, eat family style and try a little bit of everything
The fried rice was great! (Not pictured) I'd come back for the pan or steamed dumplings due to freshness. Too much vinegar in the noodles .
Location: Dumpling U Date: July 1st, 2026 Service: Take out Went this to this week to dumpling u. My family and I highly enjoy their dumplings they are delicious every time we go there inside it's usually packed We just prefer to go on the website and place the order via online this way is quicker and they give you a time for pickup. However make sure you look at their hours cuz the hours are they open hours from like 11:00 to 2:30 and then from 4:30 to close. We usually order the chicken pan frying dumplings and the pork pan fried dumplings.
The House Soup Dumplings with Classic Pork were fairly standard and ultimately underwhelming. The dumpling wrappers were too thick and doughy, and they tore apart too easily. The soup broth itself lacked the richness and umami depth that make great soup dumplings memorable. I was also disappointed that no fresh ginger was provided, nor did I see it offered. Traditionally, soup dumplings are enjoyed with fresh ginger and a vinegar-soy sauce mixture, often served on a soup spoon to catch the flavorful broth. That said, the House Special Beef Roll was the standout of the meal. Each roll features a crispy, flaky scallion pancake wrapped around tender five-spice braised beef shank, sweet hoisin sauce, and crisp, refreshing vegetables. The beef was slow-braised until exceptionally tender and infused with warm Chinese five-spice and soy sauce. The combination of savory, sweet, and salty flavors created a satisfying and flavorful bite. Many diners seem to enjoy the soup dumplings more than I did, so your experience may differ. However, I would recommend ordering an additional dish or appetizer if you choose them, as they are not particularly filling on their own. Be aware that the cost can add up quickly. An order of soup dumplings and the beef roll, including tip, came to about $42.
Excellent soup dumplings with plenty of flavorful broth and a delicate wrapper. The pan-fried dumplings were crispy and juicy, and the Shanghai noodles were delicious. The unicorn bao buns were a fun surprise for the kids. Friendly service, reasonable prices, and authentic flavors. Definitely one of the better dumpling spots in the area. We'll be back!
I was really hoping to like this spot but the food wasn't great. We did 2 orders of the soup dumplings. One regular and the other spicy. It had a weird taste to it and we actually didn't finish it, basically took a whole order home which I've never gone to a dim sum spot and had to pack the soup dumplings home before. We usually finish it at the restaurant. The green beans were my favorite but I wouldn't go back just for that. Somehow everything else was either lacking flavor or just tasted off. We did end up packing a lot of it to go and have other people try it. Service was lovely though. Very friendly, attentive and quick.
The food was delicious! The ambiance was chill and not too loud. The service was so quick. Our waitress, Jocelyn, was super duper sweet which is always a plus for me! I definitely recommend and would definitely come back'
On this day, I wanted to try Dumpling U. I got there at a good time as it was Happy hour 4ish-5ishpm? I sat for a while. It was a pretty hip happening kind of place. Sean Kingston was playing in the restaurant, people there are all good looking folks and hip, a little different than the Asian restaurants I'm use to. I had the Spicy Braised Beef noodles soup. It was ok. Very little broth almost none, there was no spice at all. The beef was pretty good and easy to eat. The House Beef Roll was pretty darn good! It was light yet filling, good flavor. It something I would definitely try again. I did ask for hot sauce and sweet chil, I only received one of each for about almost$50 worth of food and drinks. My server Devin was cool. As much as I'd like to return to have a drink here, I don't know if I would..
Small little restaurant with so much flavor! The food was a 10/10--absolutely delicious, with generous portions and very reasonable prices. Service was 9/10. The only reason it wasn't perfect was that we wished our waitress had checked on us a little more often for drink refills. It was a warm day, and we definitely could have used more cold water. Overall, a great experience, and we'd happily come back!
We have been wanting to try Dumpling U ever since they opened recently and were honestly impressed with how quick and satisfying the whole experience was. All of our food came out within about 5 minutes of ordering, which was impressive given how much we had ordered. We ordered a mix of dishes to try a little bit of everything. The House Special Beef Roll was a standout, crispy with a really nice beef-forward flavor that made it super satisfying and how I remember it tasting growing up. The classic Pork Soup Dumplings were decent, though the wrapper was a bit on the thicker side, and I felt like the pork filling could've used a little more seasoning to really enhance the flavor. The Pan-Fried Pork Buns were great, and I appreciated the heads-up from the staff that they come out piping hot and can squirt juice if you bite in too fast (they weren't kidding). Even better, they held up surprisingly well when reheated the next day. We also got the Dry Fried String Beans, which were super fragrant and flavorful, though just slightly on the salty side. The Honey Walnut Shrimp had huge pieces of shrimp with an extra crunchy coating, definitely a must order. And of course, can't go wrong with a side of white rice to have as a base for all our dishes. Overall, a great spot with fast service and a good variety of dishes. I'd definitely come back again and would recommend to anyone wanting to have authentic Chinese food.
Walked in and felt like I was in the Bay Area--simple modern interior, clean and bright. Loved being able to watch the dumplings get made by hand. Food was really good--best soup dumplings I've found in Fresno. Favorite dish was the spicy wontons. The scallion pancakes were very thin and crispy. I liked how they used udon noodles for the garlic noodle dish although I felt like the dish needed some veggies. Great looking menu with many things to go back and try. Service was friendly and easy going and extremely fast. Great if you are in a hurry but still want to sit down. Paid the bill at the counter and had to wait awhile for people placing to go orders. Plan accordingly.
I've heard great things about Dumpling U and finally had a chance to try it! I ordered the garlic noodles with chicken, and they were delicious. This was definitely my favorite dish. The chicken was made with breast meat, which is exactly how I prefer it. We also tried the chicken pan fried dumplings. They were just okay, but I did enjoy how crispy they were. I also ordered the hand-fried pork buns. Unfortunately, those were a bit disappointing. While they were very juicy when you bit into them, I felt they lacked flavor. I'm glad I tried them, but I probably wouldn't order them again. That being said, I definitely want to come back and try some of their other dumplings. The garlic noodles are a must order and were easily the highlight of the meal. The staff was also very friendly and helpful, which made for a great experience. If you're in the area, I'd recommend giving Dumpling U a try!

Amazing food and outstanding service! This is our second time dining here, and Joslyn has been incredibly welcoming each time. She provides excellent service and always makes us feel at home. My favorite dishes are the spicy pork dumplings, Shanghai fried noodles, and the cucumber salad. Everything is delicious, and we can't wait to come back! read more

Hi Vivi,…
4.7/5 stars. This place really blew me away! I came during lunch with my coworkers and we ordered several dishes and shared. All the food came out relatively quickly and was hot n fresh. Every single item was delicious. I could tell the food was homemade and it wasn't loaded with msg or salt. It was perfectly seasoned. My favorite were the noodles and chowmein and the deep fried dumplings. This is a great place for a group or family because of the dim sum options and huge portion sizes. The only feedback I could think of is expanding the menu with more protein options. The menu mainly consist of dumplings, chowmein and fried rice. In the future I'd like to see more meat dishes. Other than that, everything they did was offer was great. I would 100% come back here and have already recommended this place to friends and family! read more

We went back during 'opening day'' to dine in. This is what we ordered; Honey Walnut Shrimp- very tasty! Wonton Soup- Pork wontons in a small amount of pork broth. I prefer chicken broth with LOTS of vegetables. This bowl had one or two pieces of seaweed in it. . . Eh. Har Gow; - Very good. The thinnest noodle I have seen YET for Har Gow! It had 'pin-tuck pleats' of noodle on top! (HOW do they DO that)?! Shrimp Fried rice- Delicious! Has a nice smoky (wok hei) flavor to it! Taro ice cream- Also delicious! I like their decor, dishes, blue and white condiment trays, staff and side room seating. But the combination of HYPER techno/rap music that was loudly playing, WRECKED THE ENVIRONMENT! I was looking at weary customers coming in from working all day, and small families just trying to have a peaceful meal. It's hard to have a conversation and relax when intrusive music is pounding your head. . . My question always is; is this music for the staff in the back? Or the customers in front? Next time will be takeout. read more

Finally tried Dumpling U --everything from the spicy pork soup dumplings to the honey walnut shrimp was good. We also ordered the string beans, Shanghai chow mein, pork shrimp soup dumplings, char shiu bao, and crab rangoon (yes... we went all in ). Loved how you can watch them make the dumplings fresh right in front of you, and the staff + space made it such a nice, cozy night. The flavors leaned more on the subtle side rather than bold or overpowering, but I'd definitely come back to explore more of the menu. Overall, it was a good experience. The place was probably a little over half packed when we came in, but service was speedy and friendly. It's a great spot to go with friends, family, date or solo. read more

I really wanted to like Dumpling U. With all the hype, I guess I had pretty high expectations. We went on a Saturday evening and were seated quickly. Our server was very friendly and helpful. We ordered two baskets of the pork soup dumplings, cucumber salad, chicken fried rice, sichuan won tons then ordered the strawberry crepe cake, strawberry mochi ice cream, and custard buns for dessert. Pork Soup Dumplings: 7/10, they were good but not the best. The flavor seemed off, I don't know how to describe it. Cucumber Salad: 3/10, the cucumber had an odd texture and tasted like watermelon rind. The sauce and spice level were nice. Chicken Fried Rice: 6/10, it seemed oily and had an odd aftertaste. Sichuan Style Wontons: 8/10, I liked these the most but they still had an odd flavor, same as the soup dumplings. All of the desserts were good. Crepe Cake: 8/10, very light. Tasted like strawberry ice cream. Strawberry Mochi Ice Cream: This came on a plate with two mochis cut in half. I didn't have any but my son said they were yummy. Custard Buns: 9/10, these caught us off guard because they are custard but tasted like coconut. I do recommend these because they are fun for the kiddos. By the time we were finished up eating, the place was pretty packed and got a bit warm and loud. I might give them another try in a few months to see if anything has changed with the Yelp feedback. read more

Dumplings seem to be the new hot food in Fresno! We drove by this place for a couple of weeks before finally stopping by. The inside is pretty small, but nicely decorated. We came by on a weekday around 6pm and were seated immediately as a party of 4. The place filled up quickly and it was a full house by 7pm. Our server was nice and attentive. The menu was a good size with a variety of items. We decided to order the Shanghai noodles, green beans, sichuan spicy wontons, pork soup dumplings, spicy pork dumplings, and braised beef noodle soup. Everything looked great, but unfortunately, nothing stood out. It all just tasted okay. The biggest disappointments were the Shanghai noodles and the soup dumplings. The noodles were completely bland and the soup dumplings may or may not have been undercooked. The pork was pretty pink and turned us off. The best item for me was the sichuan spicy wontons. They had decent flavor and were cooked well. Overall, I'm not sure we'd be back. They did still have signs up that they were in a soft opening phase so I may come back for another go to see if they've sorted everything out. read more
Damn food network! Watching a chef make a dumpling dish and had to explore Yelp! Fellow Yelpers highly recommended this place so decided to check it out! Good sized crowd, but we were seated right away. Pricing seemed high, but were talked out of getting so much by the manager. All of our food was outstanding and they give a military discount! read more

So so good! Lunch date with my husband and decided to try it out after seeing the positive reviews and seeing it always busy. Well worth the visit and the service was attentive, quick and never felt we couldn't get help if we needed it. We ate family style and left very content with our meal. We loved the string beans and Shanghai noodle the most. Everything was fresh, hot and came out fairly fast for how busy the restaurant was. Definitely in our top places to eat in Fresno when we are in the river park area. Great experience overall and will definitely be recommending to friends and family. read more

Thank you so much, Stephanie! We’re so happy you and your husband had…
Dumpling U is the new hotness! My husband and I came around 630 on Saturday and the restaurant was packed! We had to wait about 45 minutes before seated. Pro-tip for the future is to join the wait-list on Yelp ahead of time. Dumpling U is a small chain and we're so thrilled to have another noodle and dumpling option in Fresno. For just the 2 of us, we ordered seafood Shanghai noodle, chili wontons, and crab/pork xiao long bao. Everything was really tasty, with my favorite being the Shanghai noodle. Part of it is nostalgia for me-- that fat noodle well-flavored with that perfect soy sauce color and fresh seafood (bay scallops, shrimp, and squid). The chili wontons were a close second, filled with pork and shrimp and drenched in chili oil. The XLB was a bit lacking in crab flavor and also has a thicker wrapping than usual. If you let sit for too long (like 10-15 minutes), the wrapper dries out a bit. Stellar food! Tasty and can't wait to come back! read more

I was really excited to try Dumpling U and was not disappointed. My favorite dish of the meal was easily the beef roll. It was amazing. The meat inside was so tender and the veggies added the perfect balance of freshness. The noodles were thick and flavorful. The soup dumplings were also very good and fun to eat. The place is really busy so it does take a while to get seated and get your order taken. The place itself looks very clean and calm. read more

Ambiance & service were fine. ORDER: Soup Dumplings (good, nicely soupy. $15 for 8) Char siu bao (ok, but not special. $11 for 3, pricey) Golden Shrimp Balls (very tasty & crispy. $13 for 3 a bit pricey) Pork shu mai (flat out bland, tough, & disappointing. $9 for 4, pricey) Scallion pancake (good, but basic & small. $9, pricey) Garlic Bok Choy (average. $14, pricey) Pan fried dumplings (good. $14 for 8) Pan fried pork buns (didn't eat yet, took home. Arrived really late. $15 for 6) $107 later (before tip) & I wasn't impressed & felt like my money was better spent at their competitor, Jingle Bao. JB is a slight bit cheaper (almost negligible) but quality, flavors & ambiance were better. Their garlic bok choy was more garlicky ($1 cheaper), soup dumplings were just a bit better, scallion pancake was the same ($1 cheaper), etc. This was definitely fine, but the value isn't there. Jingle Bao will get my business again. read more

Had no problem getting a table during lunchtime on a Friday. They have a good amount of seating. But I'm sure it gets busy during dinner, especially this being a "newer" dim sum spot. Ordered the green beans, which had good flavor but a bit salty. The wontons came with a lot of chili oil, which I enjoyed. However, there was a mountain of cilantro with green onions and garlic. I felt bad because my friend doesn't eat cilantro so she could barely eat it. If only we knew that having been written on the menu, we probably would've asked to remove it The Shanghai noodles were good. I liked their thickness as well as the sliced vegetables with it. The pork that came with it was a bit overcooked. The pork XLBs were fine. I was more thrown off by the sweet soy sauce & vinegar we were supposed to dip it in. First off, they only gave us one of those sauces, and we had to ask for another one as there were two of us eating. Secondly, the sauce was sweet, which is very unusual for a XLB dipping sauce. Not sure if they were trying to be different but that caught us off guard. Lastly, we ended with the chocolate and mochi XLB, which tasted exactly like Din Tai Fung's, so we were definitely pleased with that. The staff were really nice. May have asked if we were doing OK 4 more times than was necessary, but I just liked to be left alone eating lol. I'd come again and mix the order up for sure. read more

This place honestly surprised me considering it's been popping all over my TikTok! We ordered the Cheese Wontons, Garlic Broccoli, Pork XLB, Beef Roll, Sichuan Wonton, and Cha Siu Fried Rice. This was definitely enough food for a party of 4! I personally loved the Pork XLBs. I felt like the Sichuan Wontons could be spicier and maybe adding a Mala kick to it would make me want it more. Beef Roll is pretty good but more in the drier side so maybe a bit more sauce would be better. The cha siu fried rice and cheese wontons were pretty good. I grew up eating these so not much really stood out. The garlic broccoli took me by surprise! We got it as a fiber dish but I really love how umami it was plus the texture of the broccoli was soft yet crunchy. Overall, pretty good! I would personally just get the XLBs but would love to try other items next time! read more

Finally got to try this cute little dumpling spot. Service was great from the moment we walked in and the staff checked on us several times throughout our meal. Food came out quickly even though the restaurant was busy. We tried the fried rice, noodles, spicy dumplings, soup dumplings, pan fried dumplings, bok choy, and beef rolls. The beef rolls were definitely our favorite item. Unfortunately, most of the food lacked flavor for us. The noodles were overly chewy and the garlic bok choy tasted more like thickened sauce with chunks of garlic added in rather than a well developed garlic flavor. Overall, the atmosphere and service were great, but the food was a bit underwhelming if you are used to more traditional and flavorful dumplings. I would also like to add that my friend did enjoy her food however she does like things that are not so spiced. read more
Came to Dumplings U during their soft opening at little after 11am and had a great experience. There were already about 8 tables seated, and even though I started entering my info at the kiosk, the front greeter was able to seat me right away which was great! Water was brought out as soon as I was seated. I ordered the chrysanthemum tea as well since it was a bit chilly out. It was perfect. On the table were the condiments, vintager, soy sauce and chili oil for your use if you wanted any of that. For food, I started with the scallion pancakes, super crispy and flavorful. I will definitely be ordering these again. I also got the classic pork soup dumplings, garlic bok choy, and spicy wontons. Everything was delicious, and the filling to wrapper ratio on both the dumplings and wontons was perfect. There were so many other dishes I wanted to try, but I knew I wouldn't finish everything which just means I'll definitely be back for more. The space is clean and spacious, which I really appreciated. There's good distance between tables and it didn't feel overcrowded at all. As I started getting my food, the restaurant definitely began picking up, but everything continued to flow smoothly. Tables were bussed in a timely manner and everyone was very helpful and attentive. Great food, great service and a comfortable space. Stop by if you're looking for great dumplings! read more
