    It was so yummy. I ordered togo because they were veryyyyy busy, like completely full with a line. Andd bc I'm trying to hit an open shipleys for donut day (donutssss; that was now yesterdayy) But seriously, it's so good. I will be back. Will be adding them to my yay list now Mapo tofu dumplingss delicious and interestingg And am happily surprised by how much I like their szechuan tan tan noodles Maybe bc I like spicy peanut noodle Only ep is ofc again no togo soup dumplings, woe is me. But ik it's probably a quality thing so I get it Also, staff worked very quickly and were nice! ‍ Inside has decent seating, 'is quaint and simple. I like it :3 First time here so idrk how food consistency is, but they're relatively close by so looking foward to getting more dumplings here another day~

    Spicy and sour beef dumplings
    Alex N.

    The dumplings here are fantastic, good variety and bold flavor. I also tried the braised beef noodle, it was reminiscent of a Viet beef stew with more spice. The broth was very flavorful with a nice and fragrant amount of spice. The thumb buns were among my favorite of the dumplings too, crispy, slightly chewy texture with a tasty and balanced filling. I would prefer if the portions were a bit bigger and if they were more generous with the beef toppings. As other reviewers mentioned, the service also has room for improvement. The quality of the dumplings was enough for me to look past the flaws though.

    Hazelnut chocolate Xiao long bao

    Grabbed lunch here with a friend on a Monday and had a great experience! It wasn't busy when we arrived, so we were seated right away. Our server was very kind, attentive and was happy to walk us through the menu. The restaurant itself has a clean, chill vibe, which made it a perfect place for a casual catch-up lunch. We ordered the pork xiao long bao, green beans, and beef noodle soup. The xiao long bao were definitely the highlight! It was incredibly juicy, with very tender pork, and the wrapper was thin and had a great texture. The beef noodle soup was also delicious, with a generous amount of meat, bok choy, and the broth was rich and full of flavor. Small note, the green beans were a bit on the tougher side, but still packed with a delicious garlicky flavor that made them enjoyable overall. For dessert, we tried their newer item: chocolate-filled xiao long bao. These were such a fun surprise! The filling reminded me of Nutella, super chocolatey and sweet, and honestly, the perfect way to end the meal. Overall, everything from the service to the food was on point. Definitely recommend if you're looking for authentic, good quality ciao long bao and a relaxed dining experience!

    Cheese Crab Puff (5)

    I first discovered Dumpling World through their Clear Lake location, and I liked it so much that I had to try the Sugar Land location as well. Even on weekdays, this place is consistently busy. The staff are always very friendly, the food tastes fresh and made to order, and I have never had an unpleasant dining experience here. Whenever I come here, I usually order the Cheese Crab Puffs. While this is a fairly standard appetizer at many restaurants, I genuinely think Dumpling World does them better than most places I have tried. The wrapper is lighter and airier while still staying crispy, and the filling leans slightly sweet, which I personally really enjoy. Of course, I also have to order the Pork Xiao Long Bao. The wrappers are impressively thin, and each dumpling is packed with soup. Another must order is the Pan Fried Pork and Scallion Thumb Buns. They are addictively crispy on the outside and filled with juicy, flavorful pork. On this visit, I also tried the Eggplant and Minced Pork Noodles for the first time, and I would definitely order them again. The pork and eggplant were very flavorful, and the hand pulled noodles were thin and satisfying, though slightly overcooked. The sauce was also a bit oily, but that is fairly common with dishes like this, so it did not bother me much. It is just something to keep in mind. Overall, Dumpling World continues to be one of my favorite casual Chinese spots. Between the consistently fresh food, friendly service, and standout dumplings, this is a place I would gladly keep coming back to.

    Shrimp Paste Dumpling

    Dumpling World offers no-frills dining with just the essentials to enjoy a good dumpling meal. While the staff may not be overly attentive after placing your order due to the daily rush, they generally maintain a friendly and helpful demeanor. If you peek through the small window behind the counter, you'll see the kitchen staff skillfully crafting the dumplings, which I love because I know they're housemade. I appreciate their dedication to offering vegan and pescatarian options. My personal favorites are the steamed Zucchini, Shrimp, & Egg dumplings and the Vegan Sesame Sauce Noodle dish. If you love shrimp, I recommend trying the Shrimp Paste Dumpling. Just know that it's entirely made of shrimp and nothing else in the filling. The service is generally swift, the prices are reasonable, and parking is convenient. I'll definitely return to this place whenever I'm in the area and craving dumplings.

    Chocolate hazelnut dumplings (nutella inside)
    Marie P.

    Came here on a weekday afternoon and was quickly seated! The waitress was so kind to us and kept warning us that all of the food was hot and to be careful. The pork xiao long bao was DELICIOUS; possibly one of my favorites I've ever had! There is a generous amount of soup in there with amazing flavor and unlike many other XLB, it doesn't taste mushy and the broth is very clear. I would come back and just order a bunch of this! We also ordered the beef noodle soup which was just ok to me, the beef had a lot of fatty pieces and less meat and the soul could've haf more flavor. We also ordered the stir-fried green beans with minced pork which was also just ok; the beans were a little on the hard side and we felt that it needed to be cooked longer. For dessert, we saw their specials menu at the counter had chocolate hazelnut dumplings, so we ordered them at the end so it was fresh and hot. It came with 6 dumplings with nutella filling. They were delicious but the amount of nutella definitely starts to hit you after awhile and you have a big mouthful of nutella (not complaining though). These were best when they first brought it out, so definitely wait to order these until the end. Will definitely be coming back for their xiao long bao!!

    Pan fried pork soup buns
    Tyler W.

    Best dumplings west of the beltway. Do get the soup dumplings, do get the pan fried thumb buns, and absolutely get the pan fried soup buns. Service is above average, food is memorable and/or fantasy inducing, bring a jacket ... it can be cold inside.

    Dumplings make the world go round. A friend told me about this place and I did not realize I was passing it by every time I went to Sugarland on Sunday with my dad. Went in for a solo lunch and ordered way too much. The interior is very clean and organized with booths on the edge and tables in the middle. There was a steady in and out of customers and lots of pick up orders. Ordered: braised pork pot stickers, Szechuan Tan Tan noodles, shrimp and pork spicy wontons, pork xiao long bao, and to go - pork and scallion pot stickers, shrimp chow mein. No regrets. Braised pork pot stickers (3.5/5) - juicy and nice, didn't feel like it should be in dumpling format to me Szechuan Tan Tan noodles after mix (3.5/5) - flavorful, good portion of noodles and meat and spice, not the usual taste of Tan Tan noodles but still good Shrimp and pork spicy wontons (4/5) - delicious, filling was colorful and full, chewy, bouncy Pork xiao long bao (4/5) - more soup than most XLB, it was nice, warm, juicy - think I should have gotten the pork and shrimp (will try those next) Pork and scallion pot stickers (4.5/5) - very flavorful, fried perfectly, delicious (I ordered these late in the meal so ended up taking them to go - gave 2 to friend so order is 6) Shrimp chow mein (3.8/5) - nice big shrimps, good amount of shrimps (under noodles) - next time trying the fried rice, noticed a lot of people ordering for dine in I gave all of the leftovers from the dine in to the friend that suggested along with 2 potstickers from the to go orders. Def will return. Food was delicious and staff is very friendly.

    Xiao Long Bao
    Rachel W.

    Dumpling World has been a family favorite since they opened! We love their xiao long bao, green beans, and their pai gu has the potential to be really good! Last time I had their pai gu it was very average, but this time it was sooo good, I was stunned. It was sweet and super tender. The XLB is super solid, though I feel like they changed the skin recently, and I prefer the previous dumpling skin. What I love about this place is its accessibility - all the staff can speak chinese (it's usually their default even) and so lots of chinese people feel comfortable here. They're able to talk in chinese the entire time and it gives the place an authentic feel; however, the staff can also speak english, so non-chinese speakers don't feel completely lost. I think it's what contributes to Dumpling World's success - they're able to cater to multiple people and language isn't a limiting factor. Service is friendly! Plenty of parking in the area.

    Dumpling World has been on my radar for awhile. There's one east and west of me about the same distance. I was in the Sugar Land area and made it a point to check it out. This location is located in an older strip center with plenty of parking. The restaurant is pretty small inside and the tables are super close to each other. When I arrived around 2pm on a Sunday, the place was pretty packed. I came here to take food to a friend's house nearby and was going to order when I got to the restaurant. The staff was friendly and helpful and had no problem with us sitting at a table while we waited for our food. The one thing I was looking forward to some soup dumplings because of the cold weather but you can only get these dining in. It was a major let down but understandable as they want to serve that product at it's best. It essentially falls apart if you wait to long to eat it. I ended up ordering a little variety of dumplings to really get a feel of the place. Off the appetizer menu, I ordered a couple of orders of fried chicken wings. It only comes in an order of 4 which I thought was a bit small for the price. That being said, the wings were really good. It would have been nice with some sort of sauce but ate well without it. For dumplings we tried a few different categories. Under the boiled dumpling category, I ordered the shrimp, pork and chive dumpling. The filling was really nice and was full of flavor. I typically like pan fried dumplings more, but their dough is has a nice bite to it without being too chewy or soggy. Under the pan fried category, I ordered the pan fried thumb bun with pork and scallion. These were better than the boiled and very flavorful. My favorite dish was of the pot sticker variety. I got the beef and onion pot stickers. These were so good. The beef seemed to be braised beef and was packed with flavor. With all their dumplings, they did not skimp on the fillings either. This was a very solid place and closer than heading to Chinatown. I will definitely be returning here to get my dumpling fix.

    Soda was added to the bottom so I didn't see when paying. It was not visible until I paid and asked for a receipt.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while and glad I finally did. Service and food were mediocre. I also got charged for a soda that I did not order.. The braised beef noodle soup was lukewarm. It was semi chilly in Houston, so a hot bowl would have been ideal. The skin on the dumplings were thick and dried/hard to chew. The minced pork eggplant noodles were delicious though. They added a soda at the bottom of our bill and that is so shady to make more money. Edit: They fixed their mistake! Thank for doing that, I appreciate it.

    Szechuan Tan Tan Noodle (Has Peanut)(Spicy) Spicy
    Kevin C.

    One of our favorite spots for great soup dumplings on a cold day. Came right before week day rush hour around noon. We got sat immediately, but shortly afterwards there was a long line of people waiting at the door. Smaller restaurant so not good for large parties. But they do take out orders as well. Simple inner decor but efficient. The water pitcher is delivered to the table and has sliced lemons inside which is a great touch. We got 4 dishes that we have tried before and knew we liked. Pork xao long bao 4.5/5 the soup inside could be a bit hotter in temperature. And the soup ladles could be a little bigger to slurp the soup but the flavor and size were great. Pork and scallion dumpling in spicy sour sauce 5/5 amazing flavor with the right amount of spice. The sauce would go great over a bed of rice. The dumplings are a great size. Stir fried string green beans with minced pork 4.5/5 scant amount of minced pork compared to the same dish at other restaurants. Not too heavy on the garlic and no ginger. But plenty of green beans and tastes great. Szechuan tan tan noodles 5/5 so much noodles! We have before and after mixing pictures. Appropriate amount of sauce for thorough mixing and bold peanut flavor. We love coming here for lunch and will certainly be back to try other dishes!!

    Eggplant & Minced Pork Noodle wet
    Tan N.

    Move aside din tai fund. Dumpling world is the next best. Super thick and flavorful dumplings good service and good prices. The biggest downside is the extremely small dining area. So if you have a big party get there early or try to make a reservation. The curry dumplings are my favorite following but the soup and the pan fried bottoms. The eggplant pork noodles are super flavorful but beware. Heft noodles and you will get full! Do try their green beans!

The restaurant is located inside Jusgo grocery store. The seating is quite limited so I wouldn't recommend it for large parties. And it's pretty mom and pop, so if that's your jam, go for it. Chairs are mismatched, drinking water is somewhat self-service in small cafeteria-style plastic cups, and tables are small. Like I said - mom and pop, and that's not a bad thing. It's just not exactly a place where you would have a nice business meeting. Service was ok - nothing to note. You pay at the cashier which is like 2 feet from where you ate. Yes, it's a small space. Overall - I love this place and will keep coming back.

When you pickup your food, the sit down area is dark, and there isn't much of a waiting area. It looks to be run by two folks, the cook and the cashier. It is probably best to order over the app, as the one cashier is busy packing the food in the fancy packaging and dealing with the money transactions. Since it is only two people, it can be slow to get your food when it is busy. I waited an additional 20 mins from the projected time it was suppose to be done. As for the food, the miso ramen was packed in this fancy box. The box contained the soup separated from the noodles with a few side dishes. I believe this is the only vegi ramen they offer. It is nothing special. The broth is basically miso soup with soy sauce. (2 out of 5) The cold sesame noodles was better. It had more flavor.

I have passed by their restaurant many times, but it never occurred to me to go in until one day I was surprised to see them ranked in the top 100 ramen places nationally on Yelp! With less than 300 reviews, I was skeptical at first but was intrigued to give it a try, and I'm so glad that I did! I visited on a Friday afternoon right before New Year's and was greeted warmly by the staff inside. As I was indecisive on what to order in the ramen section, I asked the staff for suggestions. She was kind to walk me through the menu without rushing to get an order, and she mentioned that their most popular item is actually the beef noodles. That was all I needed to make a decision to try the beef noodles. While waiting for the food, I chatted with the staff and learned that the restaurant opened right before the pandemic then shifted their model to take-out only as the pandemic begin. Since then, they've tried to make use of their restaurant space to return to dine-in but it has been difficult to find reliable workers. In the interest of keeping the quality consistent and customers happy, they've decided to make sacrifices to keep the business model as is for take-out only instead of scaling up with additional staff, which is such a shame given the rent in the area is not cheap and they have such a beautiful space! When you hear "take-out only", I know what you're thinking, BUT I promise you this is the best takeout food you will ever have! The packaging is very well-designed to keep the flavors and ingredients at its finest! As I mentioned, I ordered the beef noodles, and typically noodle dishes are not ideal for takeout, but Asia Blue separates the soup from the noodles so that the noodles are not soggy, and even after half hour, the soup stayed warm and flavorful. The noodles also came paired with many mini side dishes as palate cleansers, which were a nice surprise. From my conversation with the staff, I've also learned that this is one of the rare places that truly make their broth fresh from premium ingredients! You can be sure that it's MSG free and packed with healthy nutrients, and that's a quality that you can taste. I highly recommend this place for your next ramen adventure, and I certainly will be returning again very soon to try the other menu items. :)

At first, my boyfriend and I didn't expect much, but everything that we ordered turned out to be amazing :) Our favorites was the bulgogi wrap, shrimp and mushroom skewers, candied potatoes, and the bingsu! Definitely will be back :)

    I came here the day after Thanksgiving and wanted to give it a try with my family. The place was…read morecompletely empty and only one server was working. I get it - it's right after the holidays so staffing could be short. The server we had wasn't exactly enthusiastic, just did the bare minimum. Dishes piled up and we weren't asked about refills. You'd figure because there was only 1 group that the service would be attentive, but nope! The food that we ordered from the kitchen were all super fresh and delicious. My favorites were the bulgogi gimbap, eggroll (tiny rolled egg omelette), and chicken wings! They come out super hot - loved them all. The hot buffet bar was not filled at all, some were even just empty. I found it disappointing that we didn't get to try a lot of their items. The hot buffet bar was really scarce, I mean, just fried dumplings and fries but they were refilled really slow and some never had refills. The boba bar was empty and never filled. The DIY ramen station was closed off. I tipped only because I felt like I had to, but the service was abysmal. I would come back but maybe for lunch instead of dinner. Hopefully service improves.

The staff looked very presentable and were attentive, yet also gave us space to look over the menu and eat. Speaking of the menu, I really enjoyed checking items off of a paper menu, it felt very old-school. I was there with my parents, and we decided to get a couple entrees to split family-style. We got ban ban noodles, yibin noodles, pork and crab dumplings, a breadier kind of dumpling which I think had pork in it, a scallion pancake, a beef pancake roll, and chrysanthemum tea. All were delicious, no complaints. My favorites were definitely the bready meat dumpling, it just melted in your mouth, and the yibin noodles. I also really enjoyed the chrysanthemum tea; they delivered a big pot and several cups, and there was enough in the pot to fill each of our cups three or four times. The prices of all were not too bad, too. I will definitely be back, hopefully soon. Just a really comfortable place with great food and good service.

I think the large window plus summer sun made for a greenhouse effect. There are many vegetarian options but I thought the overall flavor for the food was just average. Service was also slow and we had to call wait staff ourselves to ask for the check, water, etc. -Dan Dan noodle - because of the peppercorn leaves a tingling taste on your tongue similar to mapo tofu -Vegetarian spicy ma la noodle - also left a similar tingling taste. Although it was rated as a spicy dish I thought spice level was on the mild end. -Vegetarian dumplings - flavor was just average for this as well. It tasted a little bland to me -Sweet and sour cucumbers - overall liked the flavors although it is a very strong sweet and sour flavor. The cucumbers were cut into a unique shape.
