    a smaller establishment with some traditional chinese decorations but overall a modern vibe. service was standard. food was good! soup dumplings came out hot and fresh, dough was a bit on the thicker side on the top but i didn't mind it much. the soup itself had great flavor, not too fatty and tasted quite clean imo. the pork was tender and flavored well. wontons had a thin skin which i loved. scallion pancakes were perfectly crispy. we also got the spicy braised beef flank noodles which were insanely good, easily my favorite dish. the beef was so tender, the noodles were cooked perfectly and were the perfect thickness, and the soup was so flavorful. the soup was a bit sweet and heavy with the star anise which i loved, definitely had a complexity of flavor. only comment i have was that i wish a small spoon was provided with the soy vinegar sauce! i had a bit of a hard time pouring sauce on the soup dumplings and i'm not a big fan of dipping the dumplings in the sauce either.

    Overall good dishes. Some were better than others but everything was good. The soup dumpling skins are a little on the thicker side and the filling is a little sweet. The Shanghai stir fry noodles were very yummy. Good pan friend dumplings. The beef rolls were a hit with everyone. Beef noodle was liked by some but not everyone. Green beans were standard. Onion pancake was crispy but oily. Sorry my pics are from after we started eating. Service was excellent and restaurant was clean. I would like to comment that someone was cleaning something in the back around 6:15pm and the smell of disinfectants(maybe pine sol) was really strong and off putting for patrons who are still eating.

    Food was good, price was reasonable. The dumplings are fresh and made to order. If you have a craving for dumplings, this place hit the spot. The Shanghai fried noodles were good. Ambiance was more of a fast food diner type. Service was good. Private parking lot.

    Pretty good dumplings and food all around! Came here for lunch while visiting friends and they had heard about this place. No wait on a Friday afternoon, even though there were random tables with a "reservation" placard on multiple tables.. String beans were nice and crunchy, chow mein was flavorful, and XLBs were good. I suggest coming with a larger group so you can all share everything!

    01.24.2026 - DUMPLING YO - GREENHAVEN AREA SACRAMENTO, CA - came in and was seated. Waited for food for 5 mins - good timing. Place is pretty clean. I bought a bowl of won ton soup and pork shu mai. WON TON SOUP - the broth was delicious. I haven't eaten won ton soup like this but it was delicious. The broth had seaweed, shrimp brine, green onion and chives. It has that Umami flavor that reminds me a little of ramen dishes. PORK SHU MAI - it's made and shaped like a Shu Mai. The taste is flavorful and it does have that traditional Shu Mai flavor. When biting into it, I saw maybe two kernels of corn. Since I came here alone, I only ordered two dishes. It's enough. I'm already full. The waiter was extremely nice. I'll try again with other dishes. I have my eye on the Mapo Tofu.

    In a nutshell; really good dumpling/comfort food establishment to try out. Simple menu with not the biggest variety of choices but what they offer they make really well. No complaints on service. Food didn't take too long either. Few select booths, seats and tables, probably not meant for a huge party size. Overall nice place to consider if you're looking for dumplings or rolls or a select choices of Chinese food.

    Very late to the party as my interest in this place has been piqued since it made Yelp's Top 100 as #3 Chinese restaurant in the country. Finally had a chance to try it a few weeks ago with three of my friends. As a Taiwanese girl, I wanted to order all the standards from the braised pork rice to the beef roll to the beef noodle soup. The quality and consistency across all the dishes we ordered earns this place high marks, even if I have favorite versions of every dish at another place in the Bay Area. My favorites of the night were the green beans, pan fried steamed buns, and the beef roll. Love that restaurants of this caliber are coming to the Pocket area and glad to see that the hard-working owners are doing so well.

    Disclaimer: I always have high expectations for dumplings, noodles, XLB, etc. because I grew up in Taiwan and my family also made these items by hand. Now, that also likely explains my constant craving for these foods like it's water! It's my soul food! We were in Sacramento on a Saturday afternoon and wanted to try a new spot. We walked in around 11AM and were promptly seated, no wait. We had the basics- pork XLB, pork and chives dumplings, fried pork buns, + Shanghai noodles, and braised pork over rice. I call it basics as in the "must haves", by no means basic in taste! Everything was delicious and we even got the frozen dumplings to take home. Consider opening 1 in Folsom? Promise we'll be regulars!

    Everything about this restaurant is a 10/10. The owner himself is extremely welcoming and will explain any dish on the menu you have questions about. The menu itself has a lot of variety and they also have monthly specials posted. The shanghai noodles are delicious. So much flavor and not too greasy. Probably my favorite noodle I've ever eaten at an Asian restaurant. The soup dumplings were equally just as good. We also tried the special beef buns. Service is fast, but the restaurant is on the smaller side so you may be waiting for a table if you don't go before the lunch or dinner rush. I think I just found my new favorite lunch spot! I can't wait to return to eat more of those noodles!

    Deliciously good! Nice ambience. I really like the beef roll. The cucumbers provide a fresh crisp to the tender beef. It's good to eat by itself.

    There are friendly people here sitting indoors and outdoors, and parking is easy. You could easily get an RV here. We ordered pork and shrimp dumplings, and beef noodle soup. The house made fillings fill the dough and the soup is also very good. The food is Shanghainese and some Taiwanese.

    Mom and pop spot with delicious food, kind staff and clean restaurant. 5/5 Tried this olace, we arrived at 4:20 on a Sunday. Ended up waiting a little bit because they opened for dinner at 4:30 pm. It was a rainy day so I ordered the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup in mild. Had an order of XLB dumpling. Everything was good!

It was lunchtime prime time and I was instantly seated and carts came right over to me, which is so amazing. I love that this place still has carts! When the one item I wanted, wasn't on a cart they specially ordered it for me and brought it out pretty quickly. The decor is still bare bones no real ambience whatsoever. But that's OK because they have carts and that makes it all worthwhile. Now for the sad news.... The Dim Sum is just not that good anymore. I always really enjoyed having the black bean spareribs and these ribs and have a couple black beans in them are just devoid a flavor. There's a little bit of jalapeño flavor, but I would never order these again. The pan fried shrimp and chive dumplings were very stale tasting. The inside was perfect consistency and ratios, but the outside noodle was dried and chewy and just not good. I also got the steam steamed then pan fried pork and vegetable buns, which are normally to die for good here, but oh-my, they were just awful it taste like eating cardboard. The inside was OK but outside was so bad and so stale tasting that I just was left with a bad taste in my mouth. Don't think I'll be returning anytime soon, which is really sad.

Even though I no longer live in Sacramento, I still make a point to stop by whenever I'm in town to pick up some of our longtime favorites. My must-haves are the pineapple baos, char siu baos, BBQ pork baos, shu mai, and egg tarts. Everything is consistently good and keeps me coming back after all these years. This is definitely more of a pick-up-and-go spot than somewhere you come to sit and eat. The bakery is clean, and the staff is always friendly, efficient, and keeps things moving. Prices have gotten a little high, but for me, the quality and nostalgia are still worth it. It can get very busy, with the line sometimes stretching outside, and popular items do sell out. I usually try to go earlier in the day or call ahead and place an order for pickup. After all these years, ABC Bakery is still one of my favorite Sacramento stops and a place that holds a lot of great memories for me and my family.

It's a delightful choice with variety of dim sum to choose from. We ordered: Veggie eggrolls Shrimp rice rolls Har gow Beancurd skin rolls Chinese broccoli with garlic sauce Sesame balls Salt and pepper tofu Fried shrimp balls We thought that we might have ordered too much but it turned out it's just the right amount because all the dishes were nicely done and we didn't want to leave anything not eaten. The bean curd rolls were packed with vegetables and meat. We enjoyed the shrimp dishes because the shrimps were very fresh. The salt and pepper tofu was a surprised hit. We just kept on eating it. The fried dishes were our favorites because they were not oily. Chinese broccoli was decent.

The shumai was cooked to order, so it took a little time, but it was absolutely worth the wait -- amazing. The bean curd rolls were packed with vegetables and had a really fresh, delicate wrapper. The beef rice rolls were also excellent, with plenty of beef and a fresh wrapper that wasn't soggy or tough at all -- you could tell it was made fresh. The egg drop soup really hit the spot, and the combination fried rice was fantastic too. The space itself is pretty unassuming, but the food was fresh and delicious, and the ladies working there were incredibly kind and welcoming. They were also very accommodating to my two toddler sons, which we really appreciated. They left such a positive impression on our whole family and honestly made us feel even better about the town as a whole. So glad we happened to stop here. We'll definitely be back!

This is a great spot for a large family gathering or celebration. The food was delicious, and the space was well-suited for hosting big groups.
