My go to place for home cook taste. Ordered XLB, pan fried Shanghai dumpling, pea sprout, salt and peppered fish and crispy golden tofu. Service is very fast as usual, and at 5:30 we were the only table but there are many take out orders on the table. When we finished that take out table was never empty. I forgot to take pictures of the rest of the food as I was quite hungry.
Affordable and good quality Chinese food in Sunnyvale! This restaurant was tucked away in a small plaza near the main street. The times I have come here, parking hasn't been an issue, but the parking lot does not offer a lot of spots, so that is one thing to keep in mind. At the front of the restaurant, you have open window access of someone making the dumplings fresh, which is nice to know you're getting handmade dumplings! When I first dined here, my friend and I ordered 3 things to share: stir fried green beans, crab xiao long baos, and dan dan noodles. The dish that stood out the most to me were the green beans as I felt like they're the most flavorful stir fried green beans I had recently. The xiao long baos were good and super juicy, however I didn't taste too much of the crab flavor. Dan dan noodles were standard but I liked it came with its own chili sauce that you can also take home! I would say the portion size for the dan dan noodles were HUGE, 3-4 people could've shared that. We were full and even had leftovers for both of us to bring back, all for roughly $20 per person. I would definitely come back to try more of their dumplings and other dishes.
Got the fried chicken bento for lunch and I was impressed by one portion size! There was a huge amount of fried chicken and rice. It lasted me more than 1 meal. I liked the minced pork under the eggs but wish it was less salty/oily. It tasted great with the rice though. The cabbage side was also tasty but a little too oily for me too. All the flavors of the different sides worked well together though. Would be curious to try their dumplings!
Super hole in the wall find! I haven't had handmade dumplings outside of home, so finding this spot was quite surprising. Most of the dumplings I think are handmade. There are some exceptions (like the chocolate XLB) but I thought most of it tasted delicious - if you don't mind the thicker dough used for the dumplings and buns. I thought it added nice texture although that means you get fuller faster. So we definitely over ordered. If there was one thing I wasn't a fan of, it was the green onion egg pancakes rolls :( I think it fell short on texture since the egg and pancake were soft and in turn soggy in the middle. I was looking forward to this the most thinking it was going to share the same consistency as the green onion pancake typically at Chinese establishments but it did not. I also enjoyed the combination chowmein in addition to the various dumplings. Though, the picture showing thin egg noodles on the app was a bit misleading because we received lô mein noodles instead. Nonetheless, I was okay with it because I love thick noodles. The har gao was also one of my favorites! The skin wasn't dry or too thick and didn't fall apart even after cooking. It also reheated very nicely - a lot of the dumplings we got reheated nicely (needless to say we had leftovers to take home) The custard buns were also a bit disappointing. The custard flavor was light but there was too much starch/flour in the filling so it was goopy and smelled gummy. Food was brought out fairly quick after being ordered. There was only one server waiting on all the tables so things didn't necessarily get missed but took a little bit to get to us, which wasn't an issue because he remembered. Would I come back? Yes :) love me some dumplings!
Delicious little hole in the wall dumpling place, serving hot Chinese food in a dimly lit restaurant. :) You know it's a great sign when you see older Chinese aunties in the shop window expertly wrapping hundreds of dumplings. True to its name, the dumpling selection on the menu is expansive and all the dumplings are really good. They also have other things (non-dumpling) on their menu. There were definitely a few standout dishes and a few I thought were just okay. GREAT (would order again) - hot and sour soup - salt pepper chicken wings - salt pepper fried fish - soup dumplings (xiao long bao) - spicy wonton dumplings - stir fry green beans - pretty much any dumpling on the menu, they're freshly made! - egg yolk and boba black sesame balls Just ok (wouldn't get again) - pan fried soup dumplings (shen jian bao) - green onion pancake - chow fun (noodle) I think this is one of my favorite places for soup dumplings now. The soup had great flavor, the filling held up well, the skin was not too thick or thin and didn't break easily. The other standout on the menu were the black sesame balls, filled with hot gooey sweet yolk and boba. They were freshly fried and amazing! They're not on the regular menu and was a special when I came here (May 2025) This truly is a hole in the wall place located in an unassuming plaza, so it was quite dark inside and the seating and bathroom was limited. Come for the food not the ambiance.
This is a small restaurant tucked on a side street. I came with my family right when they opened in the afternoon and there were other parties that filed in right after. This place operates by ordering through an online system. We opted for two orders of the Shanghai XLB, the cucumber salad, and pork shrimp and chive dumplings. The dumplings were fantastic and very flavorful. The XLB had a mild flavor and was filled with a good amount of meat. The cucumber salad was refreshing and a nice palate cleanser. There are many bits of raw garlic so if that's not something you enjoy, just pick it off because the salad was great. The service was quick and the prices of the dishes were very reasonable. I believe we ordered a total of 10 dishes and paid $120 before tax. The price per dish averaged ~$12 which is a great deal. I'm definitely come back with my family.
Found a really nice hole in a wall dumpling place! This place was a gem, the employees are so nice and felt very homey/family restaurant. Some dumplings are vegetarian or had no meat and they were very special and very clean tasting. I really enjoyed the different types of dumplings we ordered. The hot and sour soup was also a good appetizer for a group. We ordered garlic veggies and these were so good as usual. This place is relatively inexpensive compared to all the other places in the area and is such a great find. We will definitely be coming back as we heard the beef rolls are great and want to try next time.
REALLLLLY good dim sum. However, the shrimp and chive dumplings tasted like soap. 4 stars because those were horrible, but everything else was beyond 5/5. Wait time was a little long, over the expected time on DoorDash for pickup, but I don't mind, the food makes up for it.
I went with a friend who is vegetarian and the menu has a variety of options. We ordered the chive and egg dumplings, eggplant with basil, and the chocolate xiao long bao. The dough used for the dumplings was chewy and tender. The eggplant dish was flavorful and had a nice garlic and basil flavor. The service was quick and the staff was attentive and friendly. The place had a cozy vibe like a family restaurant.
Came for lunch on the weekend. Epic Dumpling wasn't too packed, and we noticed they service a lot of take-out orders. We got the Dan Dan noodle (8/10), garlic green onion pancake (8/10), and pork and cabbage dumplings (8/10). The noodles tasted homemade, fresh, and chewy. We thought the sauce was okay but needed a little something more. The garlic green onion pancake wasn't too oily, and the garlic was fresh. The dumplings were yummy but a bit small. Overall, very reasonable for the price. Service was friendly and prompt.
I was excited to try this place. The menu looked extensive and a bunch of vegetarian options too. Ambiance is interesting and welcoming with scenes from ancient chinese cooking. We ordered a bunch of dishes. Service was super quick. They were good but I did find most of the dishes had a little too much oil and were on the sweeter side. Vegetarian Fried rice 4/5 - It enjoyed it! String Beans 4/5 - a lil oily and tasted sweet with onions Red bean buns 3/5 - more dough than red bean Vegetarian Tofu - 2/5 - was too sweet!!
Yum! Delicious dumpling spot with a few dim sum options. The restaurant is in a small plaza with plenty of parking. The restaurant is decently sized and service was actually very good! Ordered via phone but everything thing else such as payment was done through our server. We ordered 5 items as since the pricing wasn't that expensive, I assumed portions to be small but I was wrong as portions was good sized. The highlight for me was the marinated beef pancake roll and the salt and pepper pork chop but honestly, everything was super delicious. Overall, I'd definitely be back. A good spot with delicious food and phenomenal pricing. Service was also good and fast!
My brother and I were in the area and was looking for some food. Saw Epic Dumpling on Yelp and decided to give it a try. This was a hidden gem, a little hole in the wall. My brother and I were seated right away and to order, you would scan the QR code. We ordered: - Hot and Sour Soup - Braised Chicken Feet - Shu Mai - Fried Tofu - Popcorn Chicken - Pork & Cabbage dumplings - Molten Lava Bun Everything we ordered was pretty good. Just our hot and sour soup came out not that hot, just a bit warm. But, everything else came out hot and we enjoyed the food. Was it the best dim sum? No, but it was pretty good and no complaints.

Maybe I ordered the wrong things but the food was just okay. Salt and pepper fish was dry and a little overbattered. Not sure if I got lava bun or egg custard bun but it was more like egg jelly. Very thick and not a lot of filling. Salted egg yolk fried chicken was pretty good but not $1.5 per wing good. read more
Yummy, but a little pricey! After comparing three dumpling options we decided on Epic. We ordered a shrimp/chive dumpling, the veggie dumplings, a scallion/garlic pancake, and chive and egg pancake. Everything came out as it was ready and was hot and fresh. They have a window where you can watch the little ladies making the fresh dumplings when you drive up. Some people have commented on the thick dumpling wraps but my mom and I enjoyed them. Mom is tough to please and she really liked them. The scallion/garlic rolled pancake was chewy and delicious. The chive and egg pancake pocket was also fresh and tasty. The inside of this place is small but most people came for takeout here so we only saw 8-9 other people the whole time we were there. Parking can be a challenge here as there are a few businesses but food is ready fast so you can count on that! read more
Hidden off a main road Epic Dumpling proves to be a formidable hole in the wall experience featuring handmade fresh dumplings and Chinese cuisine. The parking situation can be tricky here as the main lot is low capacity for the number of businesses there are. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a friendly server who guided me to a table right away. Ordering is easy to do here through their QR mobile ordering system. We tried their XLBs which were steaming hot with a juicy umami broth and light doughy wrap. Their beef pancakes were okay but next time I would opt for their marinated version. The basil chicken was very saucy in a good way with plenty of basil mixed in. The shanghai pan fried dumplings somehow did not look pan fried at all but irregardless were tasty with a juicy filling. This place is family style with large portions all at an excellent value proposition. Prepare to share and indulge with friends and family. Dimsum looks to be served all day here which is a plus! Their tea is amazing by the way with it being light, aromatic and mildly sweet. read more
A large group of us ordered to-go and everything was really good. We tried the pan fried soup dumplings (pictured in my lap because I ate them in the car), the regular soup dumplings, the chili oil dumplings, the pot stickers, and several others. All of them were very tasty. I even ate them cold later that night and the next morning (sober, mind you) and they were still really good. I will say that the pan-fried soup dumplings didn't have any liquid in them whatsoever, but I'm not sure if they were supposed to? Anyways, very good. read more

Been looking for a place like this since moving to Santa Clara from SF...this place is THE place to go for dumplings. Juicy deliciousness in every bite and they deserve some recognition. Bring a date here for dumplings and you won't get dumped. read more

Awesome hidden gem of a restaurant! Everything we had was delicious. We had plenty of food leftover as well which means I can still savor some of it tomorrow. If you like paying for quality food and not hype or atmosphere, this place is for you. read more
I guess I tried the wrong things. 2 orders of xlb dumpling were dried out on top and hard on top. The dried mushroom and pork dumpling was really doughy and watery like boiling too long. The green onion pancake with egg was more egg than green onion and again dough was really thick. Plenty of parking in the lot and friendly service. read more

The food was great at epic dumpling! We ordered on the app quickly and were brought a variety of dishes. This is a great casual dim sum experience for a large group. There was only two of us so ordering lots of different options was great to try the spot but we had a good amount of leftovers. The price is justified for the large portions they serve. The hot sauce at the table was amazing. They packed some to go for me homemade dumpling and the beef chow mein were the favorites! We will visit epic dumpling again. read more
We came here on 12/12/20 around 1:45pm to pick up our takeout order. Their dimpling menu had a lot of variety and it looked like there was something for everybody. We ordered the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup, Pork Dumplings with Napa Cabbage, Xiao Long Bao, and Beef Dumplings with Carrots. There was nobody when we came so it was pretty quick to pick up our food. The Spicy Beef Noodle Soup was spicy but good overall. The Pork Dumplings with Napa Cabbage was good, the Xiao Long Bao was delicious, and the Beef Dumplings with Carrots was not bad. We were full after finishing everything and it was a very filling meal. Overall, the dumplings were good here and would recommend checking them out if you want some dumplings. read more

COVID-19 DELIVERY After having horrific dim sum from another "hot and new restaurant" a block away, I was hesitant about trying another new Chinese restaurant in the area. That restaurant shall remain nameless but the food was bad. So bad, it would make Uncle Roger dry heave, bust out his feather duster, and chase the chefs with it. If you grew up in a Chinese household, you know what I'm talking about! What sold me was Epic Dumpling's 15% off check-in deal for takeout! Except I ended up ordering delivery before checking out of a hotel so apologies to the restaurant (no discount for delivery). If you work/live nearby def take advantage of their check-in deal for takeout! No indoor or outdoor dining. Epic Dumpling serves a mix of Northern Chinese, Taiwanese, Shanghainese, and Americanized Chinese cuisine, plus Cantonese Dim Sum. I wasn't sure how the food would turn out since they don't focus on one region but I was pleasantly surprised that it was good. I believe they're related to Dumpling Garden (Mountain View). I ordered via DoorDash and my food was delivered within 45 minutes of Epic Dumpling confirming my order. Despite the dasher getting lost and my order arriving 20 minutes late (1.7 miles away), the food was still warm. I appreciated that everything was neatly packed with condiments (black vinegar and housemade chili sauce) and the plastic bag was double knotted. Sealed utensils and chopsticks were provided. Prices on DoorDash are the same as the restaurant; no upcharges. F O O D * Marinated Pig Ears ($8.99) Solid, the pig ears were fresh and crunchy with a sweet soy marinade and crisp julienned scallions. * Sheng Jian Bao: Pan-fried Soup Dumplings (6 pc - $7.99) No squirting action but the SJBs were big and fluffy soft with a moist pork filling. The golden brown bottoms were still crispy despite delivery. Enjoy these with these the black vinegar. * Taiwanese Pork Chop Bento Box ($11.99) --Pork Chop: Good portion of pan-fried pork chops. It was tender and flavorful, though too salty for me. --Tea Egg: Decent, the soy marinade didn't penetrate the egg enough though. --Bed of steamed rice with stewed pork: Comforting and delicious with the pickled mustard greens for a bit of tang. --Steamed Cabbage & Carrots: Tender with a bite. Overall, pretty solid and aside from the pork chops being salty; it's almost comparable to Old Town Shanghai's Pork Chop Rice. * Braised Chicken Feet ($7.99) Good flavor but the chicken feet wasn't braised long enough. Missing that meltingly soft skin and cartilage. Also, $2/foot seems a bit steep. * Siu Mai (8 pc - $8.99) A tad dense but decent. * Har Gow (8 pc - $7.99) Not a fan of the thin, translucent seashell-like wrapper but the shrimp filling was good with firm, crunchy shrimp. Their housemade chili sauce is really good. They only provided two small containers so do ask for more if you like your food with heat. Overall, Epic Dumpling is a pretty good new Chinese restaurant but your experience may vary depending on what you pick (dim sum items were the lowlight). With the 15% check-in promo, you have little to lose. If you're in the Mountain View, Sunnyvale, or Cupertino area, give this new small business a try! read more

Epic Dumpling is located in Sunnyvale. I noticed this place on Yelp and decided to check it out. It is located on a strip mall just off El Camino Real. There was a line of people outside to order or pickup. After a little wait, I was able to place an order. The staff were friendly and engaging as I placed my order. I also asked about how long they had been opened (a few days) and if there were plans on indoor dining (not any time soon). They have a Soft Opening 10% discount, and if you check in with Yelp you get a 15% discount. As I waited, a few more orders (I think from GrubHub) came and went. While waiting, you could see dumplings being made through the front window. Soon my order was ready. The food was good. I will need to visit again to sample more of their menu. read more
Neighbors were hyping up this place in nextdoor so I knew I had to go check it out. I love me some yummy xlb. I ordered through the app and arrived 5 minutes later. They told me to come back in 10 minutes since the food wasn't ready. So I walked over to Felipes and picked up some groceries. I came back, checked in on Yelp and got 15% off my order. We were going to eat the food in the car but decided it would be too messy and quickly drove home. We immediately devoured the following: Xlb: 5/5 we got 3 orders but might get 4 since the kids kept asking for more. The skin was thin and there was a good amount of soup. The meat was flavorful. I think it's the best in the area! Chow fun: 4/5 super oily but tasty Marinated Beef pancake roll: 4/5 a little on the sweet side, had a nice crunch, overall it was good. Pig ear: 3/5 it was sliced pretty thick, I prefer thinned slices Shrimp and chives dumplings: 3/5 I ordered this because other helpers said it was fantastic. Hummm I beg to differ. The pieces of shrimp were good but this dumpling is about 90% chives! Unless you are a chives lover, I would skip this. Pork dumplings: 5/5 really good. Can't wait to come back! Guys this is the real deal! read more

We went back a second time because we enjoyed what we had ordered the first time. However, on the second visit, the food wasn't that good. The kicker for this visit was that the Dan Dan Fresh Noodles was listed as being spicy, but it wasn't at all! There was no spiciness to the dish! They gave some sauce on the side, but it was the peanut sauce, so where is the spiciness like it says on the menu!? Definitely not a traditional style Dan Dan Mien. Also, the Cucumber Salad with Black Fungus, wasn't that good either, not the traditional kind either. Not the diced cucumber like other places. The Spicy Beef Tendon, they didn't even marinated it, they just pour some sauce over it. So, it's not marinated like other places. Oh, and this time the Beef Pancake Roll was over done, you can see the over-fried burnt markings. The Xian Jian Bao was still pretty good though. I guess it was only a matter of time before we see the real way the restaurant cooks it's food. Bonus points though for being a FiveStars business and for the 15% off for checking in on Yelp! This visit certainly left us to be desired. I guess the only read more
Stumbled upon this random place and it's a good find! Ordered a bunch of stuff to get a feel for the place. Everything is small in size which is reflected in the price, so don't go in thinking you're getting a steal for the prices you see. Sweet Golden Bun - very delicious, highly recommend, nice and crunchy Egg Yolk Steamed Bun - outer bun is very soft and fresh, inside is ok at best Hedgehog Shaped Red Bean Bun - very cute and tastes good too Vegetarian Dumplings - not bad but I've had better, but major issue was 2 meat ones got mixed into my vegetarian ones (see pictures) so I have to take a star off Overall will go back but will be weary of meat items getting mixed into vegetarian ones read more

We used to go to Mama Chef off Stevens Creek a while aho and they closed so a void was left until now. We decided to guve this place a try after seeing the reviews. This place combines chinese and taiwanes in the best way. FOOD: DanDan Noodles 6/10 and I rate them low only kuz we didn't like the sauce personally and we wish they had the Minced Noodles other places have. Braised Beef Noodles Soup 10/10 the broth was soo tasty and the meat tender. Basil Eggplant 11/10 probably best weve ever had, it was caramelized and tender. Pork Chop Bento 7/10 the actual pork portion was very big and flavor was okay. Shrimp and pork siu mai 10/10 very tasty. Five Spice Marinated Combination 6/10 flavor was okay. Shanghai Pan Fried Soup Dumplings 5/10 too much dough to beef ratio. Marinated Beef Pancake Roll 10/10 beef was flavorful and pancake nice and crispy. All portions were shareable for sure. Service: the waitress was very nice and friendly. The food came out pretty fast. Place was nice and clean Overall this place will probably become our new favorite and would definitely recommend. read more
The fact that Epic Dumpling can survive off the main drag "El Camino" is a testament in itself. This obscure cousin of DTF also has a see-through glass window where you can witness workers wrapping dumplings of all kinds. Since good dumpling houses generally specialize in Northern Chinese cuisine, we just had to get an assortment of wheat-based delicacies. What really stood out for me were the Shanghai pan-fried soup dumplings, marinated beef pancake roll, beef pancake, and Shanghai pork soup dumplings - aka XLB. The place isn't very big but I noticed many to-go orders. I can see Epic Dumpling being a neighborhood favorite. Too bad there isn't one closer to where I live. read more
Yummy, cute dumpling restaurant in a small unassuming plaza off of El Camino. Handmade tasty dumplings and wontons! We ordered: Green Onion Pancakes - nice and crispy, the togo box was left open a little to vent it to prevent it from becoming soggy Sichuan Chili Oil Wontons - Flavorful and just spicy enough. This was my favorite! Shanghai Pan fried Dumplings - Moist on the inside, crispy on the bottom. If you want spicy sauce, ask for it on the side. They included chopsticks with our order. Great 15% off deal right now :) Give this place a try! read more

I stopped by Epic Dumpling today and noticed a few things. The lady in the back did not wear a mask and saw one of them sneeze over, making dumplings when waiting for my order. I told them I am allergic to shellfish, and the woman who took my order reassured me there isn't any seafood. Guess what, I brought the chive pancake, and there were baby shrimps; luckily, I did not eat them. AND I found a piece of hair inside one of the BBQ BUN!! How is this place attracting so many customers when it is filthy? This is going to be the last time I will come back here; what a waste of time and money. read more

A solid authentic Chinese restaurant serving a variety of dishes including dim sum. Check the signs posted by the front counter for any discounts too. The food lost their crispiness during my return trip home, but was still scrumptious. ----- Shanghai Pan Fried Soup Dumpling (上海煎包): comes with six ($9.99). The dough was chewy and the pork filling was good. Since I didn't eat them immediately, there wasn't as much soup inside. ----- Pineapple Shrimp (菠萝虾) ($13.99). An adequate portion of shrimp that was cooked nicely with a sweet and tangy taste. It had pieces of bell pepper and onion too. ----- Green Chives Pancakes (韭菜盒子): comes with two ($7.99). I liked this one the most as the green chives were so flavorful. ----- The business was open for dine-in with limited seating capacity across three wide tables. Nobody was dining in when I stopped by to order take-out, instead plenty of people had stopped by to pick up to-go orders. As such, there as a bit of wait before I received my order. read more

The service at Epic Dumplings is good- kind, pleasant, fast... the menu is extensive for a 'dumplings' place...dumplings here are sub-par. The pot stickers and dumplings are EXTREMELY dough-y. The dishes and dumplings are all way too salty... and the fried tofu was seasoned with something like old bay barbecue powder??? The Bok Choy dish was good, and they made it with ginger for me as i asked; the pan fried soup style dumplings were good. The ambience feels run-down. read more

The website only shows they sell frozen dumplings. Do they sell frozen xiao long bao? If so, how much a bag and how many pieces?
Does the 15% off for take out order more than $30 apply to their frozen product as well?
No - the frozen dumplings are also cash only.
Is this place owned by the same owner in Dumpling Depot?
What kind of hot sauce do you serve with the dumplings?
I'm pretty sure it's a homemade habanero hot sauce.
