A1.Cucumber Salad D1.Shanghai Fried Noodles
Veronica J.

The place is cute, they decorated for Halloween. You can see them making dumplings when you walk in. The service was good, there was no wait. We ordered cucumber salad, Shanghai noodles, house beef roll, har gow & pork dumplings. Cucumber salad was just ok the flavor was of the crushed peppers was odd, not spicy tho. Preferred the flavor before I mixed it up. Shanghai noodles were great, very flavorful big noodles lots of chicken. House beef roll was also a delicious surprise. The wrap was so flaky the flavors inside were amazing. Hargow was also delicious, they do it well here. Chopped shrimps, dough isn't to delicate or soggy. Pork dumplings, I was disappointed not very flavorful, tasted like breakfast sausage with the fattiness no added spices that I could taste. All the flavor comes from the ginger soy sauce you get which is very much needed. The dough tasted like flour, some dumpling came popped and some were stuck to the paper and split open as we were getting them. When the soup come out it visibly chunky fat you see. Which was off putting. This place is ok, kinda torn on if I'd come back. I wanted to like it so bad.

Full house Sunday 5pm!

Wow, I would never come to Fresno just to eat until now! This gem of a dumpling spot in a strip mall is pure gold! There are so many buns we didn't know where to starts so we ordered fried, steamed and a dessert to sample the menu. The service was fantastic, and the vibe was buzzing. We got the last table at 5pm to make a total full house. They open at 4:30pm so I would get here at 4:30pm or you may be waiting on a Sunday evening. The fried potstickers were amazing. Incredible texture, tender, ultra moist filling and flavorful. The steamed traditional soup dumplings were Devine. You could pick them up and dip them in the ginger dumpling sauce they provide yet the dumpling was full of delicious soup and filling. For dessert we had the Black and Gold Salted Egg Molton Bun. I have never seen this before anywhere. Have you and where? This is the most incredible dessert bun with a sugary creamy egg filling surrounded by a spongy bun colored with black sesame and a little chocolate. It was amazing! Do not miss ordering this as your final bun. 5 stars and on my Fresno must stop and eat if driving by list.

Braised Beef Noodle Soup
Muriel T.

Ordered the Braised Beef Noodle Soup, and it was excellent! It had the perfect balance of noodles, vegetables, and tender beef, topped with half a hard-boiled egg. There wasn't too much broth, and the soup had great seasoning and was served at the perfect temperature. The Shu Mai was a little on the salty side, but not enough to ruin the dish. The restaurant itself is very well decorated, casual yet classy, clean, and well maintained. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and they were very knowledgeable about the menu. Overall, a great dining experience, and I'd definitely come back!

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.

9/3/26 Round 2 and time for an update!! Conveniently ordering to set up starting on Yelp. I ordered their shrimp dumpling & chicken salad. Paid for it and it was ready right after I left my nail appointment. It's right next door. Arrived, greeted, let worker know & received with good day wishes! Great!! Lunchtime! Omg! LARGE chicken salad!1/2 is plenty! Another meal! It was Fresh, Tasty & DELICIOUS chicken cooked perfectly and GREAT crispy wontons & noodles to top it off!! Shrimp dumplings are Tasty & GREAT! Even better dipped in the sauce that comes with it! Leftovers there too!! Good service & GREAT lunch!! Highly recommended!!

Pork Soup Dumplings
Andrew K.

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!

A11.Hot & Sour Soup
Savanna H.

LOVED THIS PLACE! The staff is incredibly friendly, helpful and funny! We had to wait about 10 minutes for a table and the staff offered us drinks, water, etc. while waiting. The restaurant has a trendy ambiance, I loved all the matching dish ware and cutlery. The food was so fresh, flavorful, and served quickly. Our favorite was definitely the spicy pork soup dumplings! We cannot wait to go back because there was so much more to try. Also, the parking is not great in the shopping center but it is what it is. Can't wait to come back!

Probably best beef pancake roll in Fresno!!! Very crispy and gives enough hoisin sauce. You can taste the hoisin flavor with each bite. The XLB is smaller compared to JingleBao. But they are both very solid. There were TVs inside the restaurant, that showed live sports which is a plus. I also got the chocolate dessert dumpling. That was disappointing. Filling was with dark chocolate, i would of preferred something sweeter Reminds me of Din Tai Fung but Fresno version. Price is fair for the food. Definitely worth checking out.

100/10, no notes. This was our second time here and everything was packed with flavor. Service is 1000/10. The servers are so friendly and funny, especially the main girl, not sure of her name. The food also comes out really quickly, which is awesome.

Pan fried pork buns
Gina F.

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!

Tan Tan noodles on the left, deep fried pork dumplings and seafood fried rice on the right
Tomas A.

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

Fried rice, pork soup dumplings and one pop stickers left.

Wanted to give this place a shot because it's close to my new work place and really enjoy it!…read more It's attached to the Tea Shop, which you have to walk through first to get to the restaurant. You'll then have to wait to be seated at the register. I think this set-up is kind of awkward but hey, at least they have cute sidewalk seating. There are plenty of tables and long benches to sit at and the restaurant itself feels clean and well-lit! The staff are super helpful also. Tried the House Special Beef Pho and it was pretty tasty! You do have the option to order your dish with regular thin noodles, flat noodles, or egg noodles. The broth is basil-y and the flavor has great depth. They have a self-serve station for condiments where you can grab some chili oil, jalapeños, bean sprouts, and lime. My favorite thing about this restaurant is that I don't feel too bloated after eating here (compared to other pho restaurants). Been enjoying this restaurant and eating here at least once a week!

It's been a minute since I've been back here... I heard they remodeled? But idk what changed lmao I…read moreguess it's been that long since my last visit (it hasn't been a full year yet, fyi). My memory is shot. I don't want to be handing out 5 stars so easily but I think they deserve it. The restaurant is very clean, and I love the little Asian lanterns they have, all different, above each table. Plenty of seating. When we got there (a little after 5), there was only one other table occupied... by the time we left (6:30), every table was nearly taken. Our waitress, as well as the other on the floor, were both very welcoming and friendly. They handled the service remarkably as a team. The fact that they were a packed house and still were very attentive with us, checking how we're doing, checking on our water refills... these are the little things I appreciate most (and, of course, good food). I got the Pho with the Fatty Brisket, my friend got just the Steak Pho. They have a bar against the wall with all garnishes you may need to grab what you'd like. This is pretty smart... It saves them from waste. Instead of giving people items they may not use-- they would just grab what they'd like themselves. My friend grabbed her goodies, I prefer mine as is. To me, if your broth is good and doesn't require me to flavor it... I'll eat it just like that (unless I feel like adding spice). I've only ever been to a few other Pho places where I had to season up the broth myself...definite no no for them. All my friends who have gone out to eat Pho with me know I eat it just how I get it. Pho from my Mama is a different story though... I put the works (not because it's not flavorful) but, it's just different. Moving on... They also have a Teazona in their establishment. I've tried a few different drinks in the past but came to regularly deciding on the Tiramisu Milk Tea (no flan for me, light boba). Make sure to shake it well. You can also let them know your preference on the level of sweetness. We both got this tonight and it nearly tipped me over on the full scale. Couldn't finish it. Everything was really good though. Pho was the perfect choice for this weird, gloomy weather we've been having. The price is a bit up there but that seems to be the norm everywhere nowadays. But-- for the portion, the quality, and the service? Worth it.

The food came neatly packaged with everything in separate containers which I really appreciated. Let me start with the wonton appetizer. WOW! The flavor of those wontons are what dreams are made of. I'll go back just to get more of those for sure. As for the noodles, I chose the beef noodle soup with the wide noodles and it was also reallllllly good! The broth was the best part actually. The beef was tender, but could have been more flavorful. The noodles were chewy and good. My husband got the Q noodle soup and honestly it wasn't much different from the regular beef noodle soup. Overall, a very decently priced meal bursting with incredible flavor. Would definitely recommend.

We were literally sweating as we were eating. The table ordered a variety of noodle soups and also a lo mein style noodle. All of it was decent-- not super rich but also not lacking flavor. I was disappointed at how rough the chunks of beef were, especially since the beef in noodle soup is supposed to be tendonous and fall apart. As for the service, all the employees were very nice. You can tell this is a family owned and operated restaurant. Unfortunately, we did have to remind our waiter for water and utensils. I would come back and take out, or dine in on a cooler day.
