Went during my lunch break and I was not disappointed, honestly 10/10. I was expecting for it to be jammed packed but surprised to only see another group of 3 there.. this place definitely needs more recognition. I had the pork soup dumplings and they were delicious and juicy, also ordered the pork buns (steamed) and they were packed with lots of flavor ! I also ordered the spicy wontons and let me just say that I was very happy, they had a hint of honey that evened out the spice and was the highlight of my meal, ordered the spicy sour cucumbers and it was perfect for that refreshing touch. If you are ever in the Katy area I definitely recommend! read more

Take this review as it is and I'm just writing from my experience here. It's a small, cozy restaurant in a busy plaza. Parking was hard to find but that's not the restaurant's fault. The food was pretty good for the most part. The broth of the soup was flavorful and I liked the homemade noodles from the beef soup my friend and I ordered. In my opinion, I would give the overall flavor of the food 4 stars just because the meat of the dumplings itself wasn't as flavorful as I'd hope. However, the wood ear mushroom salad was phenomenal. The service though, was subpar. I didn't have a good experience because of my food allergy. I'm allergic to crustaceans. The first thing the lady asked was what kind of drink we wanted - my friend asked for warm tea. She proceeded to look at her funny and kind of gave her a bit of an attitude and said "what's warm tea?". My friend meant hot tea and ordered that. It was a weird vibe from her but we thought nothing of it. Then when it was time to order the food, I ordered the pork and mushroom xialongbao and even pointed to it. The lady proceeded to upsell and asked if we wanted to order the pork and crab version instead. I asked my friend if she wanted it and I just won't eat it and she said no. Then, the lady proceeded to say something about ordering pork and shrimp (we didn't understand) but we didn't say anything about it. We didn't confirm anything, we just didn't respond. Not sure if she assumed or what. We just wanted to order the pork and mushroom xialongbao. The one I pointed to. Then the food came out. I noticed the xialongbao had a tiny piece of shrimp at the top. I thought it was a mistake. I opened it up and saw a big piece of shrimp inside next to the pork. I thought, maybe the pork/mushroom xialongbao has shrimp too and thought nothing of it. I decided to eat around the shrimp and the broth itself was tasty. Then I decided to go ahead and ask her if the pork and mushroom xialongbao included shrimp, she said no. I told her -- "oh we ordered pork and mushroom, not shrimp. I'm allergic. I wouldn't order this." And instead of acknowledging the mistake, she says "I confirmed with you and your friend that you ordered the pork & shrimp." I then said "no, we didn't confirm this because I'm allergic". She said "well maybe your friend confirmed it". I looked at her funny because I was the one who placed the order, my friend didn't speak. I was frustrated so I walked back to my table and just decided to eat the rest of my food. The chefs in the back asked her what happened so I guess she told them. She came back to our table and offered a few pork and mushroom xialongbaos but still doubled down on the fact that we confirmed the pork and shrimp one. We didn't want it because at this point I was full and frustrated. This was an honest mistake but it just irked me that she kept on insisting that she didn't make a mistake. I wish she would have owned up to maybe mishearing me or whatever instead of insisting that she was right. I could have easily given this place 5 stars even if there was a mistake made if she was kinder about it. But her attitude was quite off putting and I'm not sure that I'll be back again. read more

This is a gem. I am in love. Here me out, the interior is clean and laid back. Nothing crazy fancy. Just clean tables and seats with a friendly server and cook in the back. Plenty of parking but also there's a lot of businesses in this plaza. Out of Katy Asian Town BUT still in Katy and easily get to, if you have a car. Braised Beef Noodle Soup - it was clean and light yet filling with clean beef flavored soup. How does one describe it? Just get it. The noodles has a nice chew but not too chewy. The flavors, ah... just delicious and my mom approved. DanDan Noodle - more peanut flavor that I would like but overall good. The right textures for the noodles, has ground meat and scallions. Perhaps a few slices of cucumbers on top would make it perfectly refreshing and satisfying. Spicy Wontons - spicy and oily. Overall good but I enjoyed their chicken wonton soup much more (which they accidentally gave to us instead of spicy wontons at first) Chicken wonton soup - delicious. It's light and flavorful with seaweed. Did I mention my mom approved? It's exactly how we make it at home on my mom's side. This was an accident that the cook made the wrong item but that's okay. We compensate by tipping them much more and getting to try this delicious wonton soup like how my grandmother makes it. Pork & Shrimp Xiaolongbao - delicious and full of soup so be careful. My mom is a pro and she still got it all over the place. She was surprised how much soup there was on the inside. The fillings are perfect. Only downside is, the top part is thicker than I would normally like and the bottom kept breaking even though I bit from the top. I consider myself a pro eating them but even I couldn't properly eat it. Just take extra caution. Also, it was the last dish to come out as it takes time. Please consider that. If you need time to order, make sure you place an order on the xiaolongbao the very least and then go through the menu. I was warned by my server so it was okay. If I have to recommend one thing, it would be their wontons. Just perfectly made and delicious. Not crazy expensive but not cheap either. If I had more stomach space, I would have ordered more. We will be back for sure. I already told my girl friends we're coming here for their wontons. Even my mother enjoyed it... my picky Asian mother, the pickiest of them all. She of course has her favorites and least favorite dishes but overall, she enjoyed it and enjoy spending time with me without yelling for spending money by going out when she can make it home type of lecture. You know what I mean? Thank you Dumplingholic House for making my life easier and being a gem. Eat up y'all! read more

This is truly a hidden gem! We love steamed dumplings and they have a huge variety as well. I felt a little adventurous and tried the spicy beef pancake wrap and I'm so glad I did. It was so good, I ate it and forgot to take a picture. We also got an order of pork scallion dumplings and it was so fresh! Absolutely delicious. My husband also got an order of oil-splashed spicy noodles which was so good. We love chili oil. Cute little place and would recommend if you love dumplings. read more

We were visiting from out of state and had a craving for some good dumplings, and this place wasn't too far to drive from home, and had some good reviews, so off we went to try it out. This is a pleasant little clean, simple, and casual Chinese dumpling restaurant in a typical Houston shopping center. Service is very nice, friendly, and down to earth. As usual, dining with our mother means over ordering as much from the menu as possible, much more than an average diner could have reasonably eaten, and just pack the leftovers to go... if there was anything left :).... so, the 4 of us went ahead and ordered the Pork Xiao Long Bao, Braised Beef Noodle Soup, Chicken Bao (panfried), Pork Bao (panfried), Spicy Wonton, Onion Pancake, Sweet & Sour Cucumber, Spicy Noodles, Pork & Shrimp Dumplings (panfried), and the Chicken & Mushroom Dumplings (steamed). The dumplings and baos were all freshly made from scratch...we could see the lady making them behind the screen, and they came out super hot, fresh, and so yummy. The skins were perfect thickness, texture, and the fillings not too salty or sweet. The Spicy Noodles I tried was absolutely delicious, and the sweet and sour cucumber nice and cool, fresh, and crunchy. My only issues were that the dumplings and baos were a bit lacking in their amounts of filling, that they could have been a bit bigger in size, especially for the price being charged.... and we made this known to the nice server lady who acknowledged, appreciated our comments, and promised to convey our comments to the owner. The other issue I had was with the noodles.... they were a bit overcooked and too soft for my personal liking...I would have much preferred if the noodles were firmer. Other than that, all the flavors, freshness of ingredients, and preparation were absolutely spot on delicious! read more

Great place for a variety of dumplings and noodles. The Soup Dumplings (XLB) are our favorite here now. Nice, hot, soupy filling with just the right thickness of wrapper. Pan fried dumplings are also quite good with the usual crisp bottoms... pork and chicken options. Also enjoyed the Spicy Tofu Noodle and Spicy Cucumber cold appetizers. Clean, comfortable environment and friendly service. read more

My friend and I came here on a Thursday night to eat dinner. We had the whole place to ourselves. The table and chairs were stable. There were some spots in the restaurant that could be cleaned up, but maybe they had a rush before we came in . There's free parking out in the front. The staff were nice, but they did almost forgot one of our dishes. We had sweet-and-sour cucumber, which was a little bit spicy, oddly enough . The sauce beef pancake wrap, which had egg and lettuce in it, was good and this was actually my favorite of our dishes that we ordered. The chicken and mushroom dumpling pan fry was good too. I really like all the crispiness. There is a note that if you have something pan fry, it is a dollar extra. The beef and onion buns were decent. I think this would be a good place if you want to get your dumpling fix and you are near by in the area. read more

Back for more of the delicious dumplings and they were great! The Dan Dan noodles are really amazing with just the right balance of flavors. The wonton soup was really good with a nice broth. Popcorn chicken dipped in the chilli sauce is pretty amazing. I think the Dan Dan noodles might just be a go to item for us in the future. This is our hidden gem in Katy. read more

Dumplingholic House - Wonton Soup - Noodles Near Me - Katy, Texas

Went here for a family dinner, and the fact that my nephew loves dumplings. It is a small restaurant compared to everything else around the plaza. There are only a few tables inside the restaurant. Service overall was great. The waitress was nice and patient with us as we kept ordering multiple rounds of soup dumplings. The food was good. The family loved the soup dumplings and got multiple orders of them for everyone. The Dan Dan noodle had a more peanut sesame taste to it, but I just wish it had a bit more kick to it. The spicy dried tofu was unique; it comes out looking like noodles but has an overall decent flavor. read more

We finally found a good soup dumpling spot!! 10/20 recommend if you are craving them. We had some bomb ones in New York 2 years ago and we have been on the hunt since for something in Katy. The Dan Dan noodles and the beef noodles had so many different flavors it was fantastic. We will definitely be back! It is small and cozy inside and you can even see them making the food. Everything was really clean and came out pretty fast. read more

Xiao Long Bao: these were pretty soupy and well made. I liked their complimentary chili oil quite a bit, and when combined with soy sauce and vinegar it really took the dumplings to the next level! Beef Pancake: VERY filling and crispy. Insane amount of protein in here. This alone was enough to make me full! But I did enjoy it... Dan Dan noodles: this was a skip for me. I did not care for the noodles or the sauce. The noodles tasted overcooked and I would've preferred them to be thicker. The sauce tasted bland and there was not enough peanut flavor. Very disappointing. The store was very clean and the servers were friendly! read more

Stopped by for a late lunch on a Tuesday afternoon and it was fairly quiet with just a few other patrons. Service was pretty quick and very friendly. We tried the soup dumplings, Dan Dan noodles and sauced beef pancake. The Dan Dan noodles also had a smaller portion - good flavor & had a little kick but overall, enjoyable. The "sauced" beef pancake was really good as well. I wasn't expecting egg in the dish but it was a happy surprise. I was confused where the sauced aspect came in as these were not saucy at all. Still really good and would order it again. They almost forgot our soup dumplings and we had to remind them that it was part of the order. They were tasty but quite small! For the size/price, I would have liked to see a couple more included in the order. On a side note, The sauces/condiments come in these cute aesthetic dishes but it's hard to decipher what is what until you pour/taste them. read more

YO!!! Those dumplings were amazing! The spicy pork wontons, pork and cabbage potstickers, and pan-fried pork and onion buns were super flavorful. I loved how the dumpling skins were handmade and not too doughy. This place totally hit the spot for my dumpling cravings since my New York trip. The restaurant was clean, and the staff was sweet and friendly. They even gave us complimentary cucumber appetizers! The hand-pulled spicy noodles had a great texture, but the flavor could use a bit more kick. Overall, still a solid spot for dumplings! 100% would be returning. read more

We tried quite a few items from the menu: onion pancake, spicy wontons, beef and onion bao, spicy noodles, pork + shrimp + scallop dumplings, and pork + cilantro + tobiko dumplings. I'd say the top hits were the onion pancake, beef and onion bao, and the pork + cilantro + tobiko dumplings. All of them were full of flavor. I wasn't familiar with tobiko but apparently it is fish roe. My least favorite item was the pork + shrimp + scallop dumplings, but primarily because the fishy taste was overpowering, so I didn't care for them. Our server was extremely nice. The place wasn't very busy, but it is easy to get to since it's right off of I-10. I would come back and try more--it's a nice addition to the Chinese food scene in Katy. read more

What a nice surprise! Was craving Pho with a friend and it directed us here. Turns out the Vietnamese restaurant closed down and has been replaced by this establishment that recently soft opened. I spoke with one of the managers and she told me that a grand opening is coming soon after they get more accustomed to starting up. She was very friendly and also gave us a free cucumber appetizer. One criterion that I like I use when evaluating Chinese restaurants is if their cuisine reminds me of my mom's cooking or visiting my relatives in China. Man, I was definitely getting both of the vibes eating here. Egg and chive pancake - cooked properly and the outer shell's firmness was just right. It may be hard to mess up this dish, but it's also hard to make it unique. Bonus points for the aesthetic bubbly/spiky presentation on the outside. Pork and shrimp pot stickers - these are some of the best pot stickers I've had. Granted, that doesn't mean too much coming from me since I don't eat them often enough (I'm not the biggest fan of dumplings and their variants. Yeah I know, save your accusations of blasphemy for another day) but the flavors of the pork and shrimp contrasted very well. Since I opted to have it pan-seared, the dish was encircled with some interesting crispy material that tasted like lightly-salted chips. Wish I could comment on the steamed bao but it was my friend's dish and I was already full. What really made this restaurant a winner for me was their chili oil. I don't know what they added in it, but it's unlike any chili oil I've ever tasted. It has a non-spicy aroma that almost reminds me of peanut butter, and it complimented both the pot stickers and the egg/chive pancake. If they keep up this quality of food and service, I can see this restaurant taking off once they get settled in and launch a grand opening. Give this place a try if you're craving authentic Chinese staples! read more

Great food, quick service and nice ambience. Ordered chicken and mushroom dumplings and pork and chive mushrooms on another visit Will definitely be ordering again. read more

My son loved this! I was not a fan. I just like wonton soup & pot stickers tho. Super nice staff, clean environment, quick service. It is small inside. A bit pricier than I expected. We ordered the wonton soup not knowing it had a ton of seaweed in the broth snd that overwhelmed the flavor. We weren't expecting that and didn't finish The spicy wontons were not spicy. They were seasoned but not spicy hot. Had a weird oily taste & texture. We did however really enjoy the pork & chive wontons pan-fried. Good flavor, closer to what we make at home. But again, we like ours more like pot stockers not soft and moist but a lil more firm. They do charge $1 extra for pan-fried. We also tried the jasmine and pineapple green teas. Jasmine was very floral and overwhelming, we didn't finish it but the pineapple was awesome! They are served cold fyi My son was happy. He's obsessed right now. He said he would come back. He wanted to try the dumplings but we had already spent $45 so I told him next time read more

Watching from afar, the chef prepared the dumplings with such precision, it's clear the food is made with skill and pride.

Tried this place for the first time today and it was really good. Right around the corner so traffic was not an issue. The establishment was really clean, neat and welcoming. The service was very friendly and prompt. The beef pancake was absolutely delicious, I never had anything like it before. The dan dan noddles were cooked perfectly and not overly spicy. My only issue were the XLB, although very good, they were too small. Frankly they should have at least 8 for the size to match the price. Overall the food was really good and it's nice to know this place is close by. read more

Everything was super yummy! Served HOT HOT! We got the egg rolls, super crispy! Wish they served with the lettuce to wrap, but that's ok. Got the Bao Pork buns, good but wish the meat was shredded pork with a sauce in it. But still good and HOT. Got the spicy chili noodles, fabulous! Got two kinds of dumplings, good. The beef n chive were the best. Wish they had more options for dumplings ... but all was good! The service was good too ... she was running around doing everything!

It has not been long since they open and they already took off an item that was very good, because it was more work to make it. Hearing this I don't have trust that they try to make the best food possible. My son took me here since he loved it the first time. Don't know if they already work on improving the profits, but the meat in the xialong Bao was too little , The beef chive dumplings did not taste well and the pork bao was dry inside I normally would see that the food would have deserved 3 stars, but early adjustments on Menu or grading down the ingredients does not sit right with me. Make money by cooking the best food and not by saving with the ingredients. read more

I really enjoyed their wontons, braised pork and Xiao Long Bao (Soup Dumplings). I would recommend the braised pork as it is by far the best I had for the price point. The most important note is that their water tastes refreshing. 10/10 Shrimp Dumplings would come again. read more

Many folks may be hesitant to try anything new in this center. The center is a bit tired and has seen what seems like a never-ending series of entrances and departures of restaurants that "seemed like a good idea" at the time. Candidly, I'm in that mode. Nevertheless, we decided to give Dumplingholic a try. The restaurant is exceptionally clean. Bordering on sterile? Not quite. We were greeted promptly and we sat down to peruse the menu. We chose a wide variety of dishes. Soup dumplings, pan-fried dumplings, spicy noodles... And hot tea to wash it all down. How was it? Pretty dang good! There were a variety of condiments to add to our order and we had a really good meal. The only issue? When we first ordered... We were told that one of our choices was not available. We dove back in to the menu and then our unavailable item was now available. Will definitely be back! read more

I visited for lunch today for the first time. Our waitress was very helpful in answering a few questions we had. We ordered the Beef Pancake to share and it was very tasty. I've never had one before and I will definitely order it again. The flavor and texture (a little crunch) were perfect. I ordered the pan fried pork and shrimp dumplings. These had much more shrimp than I was expecting & they were so good! My friend ordered the pork, shrimp & scallop dumplings and she said they were also really good-scallop in every bite. There are 10 in a serving and both of us didn't think there was any way we would eat all 10 - we were wrong! The prices are also very reasonable. Great dumpling house!! read more
