SJB are not soupy, dough is too thick, bottom not crispy. Dough Zone has better SJB. Sautéed veggies were solid

Visited for dinner around 7:30pm, loved the food! 1. Sauteed pea shoots in garlic : rating 4.8/5 Everyone in the party enjoyed this dish. Fresh green pea shoots sauteed perfectly in oil and garlic pieces. 2. Shanghai soup dumplings : rating 4.5/5 Had these for the first time ever. Really enjoyed the piping hot soup with pork meat inside the dumpling 3. Vegetarian pot stickers : rating 4.3/5 Good potstickers, enjoyed the veggie filling with pan roasted pot stickers. 4. Spicy pork and chive dumpling : rating 4.8/5 Loved these dumplings, esp the spicy sauce it was served with. Forgot to take a picture before it disappeared from our plate! 5. Chicken fried rice : rating 4/5 Good dish, rice was not sticky, neither was the dish greasy. Good proportion of veggies, egg and chicken with well seasoned rice. Pros: Good food, quick service. Got a 15% off for checking into Yelp. We asked and they also sell frozen dumplings it seems for take away, we hope to try those out later. Cons: Dumplings can be better if the dough layer can be thinner. Average ambience, vegetables for kitchen were stocked in the dining area. We also got a bird feather in one of the water glasses that was served and asked the server to replace it. As the clock struck 8:50pm the staff started hurrying and cleaning the table. By the time it was 9pm they stared at us and at the clock signaling for us to leave. read more

We were in the hunt of the juiciest and most flavorful xlb in south bay area. With the growing asian community here in Bay Area, you will find a lot of dumpling and xlb places that you want to try. Epic Dumpling is located in the heart of Sunnyvale. The place is most likely a hole in the wall kinda place, but this has never been an issue for me since I grew up eating hole in the wall places to hunt down the most tastiest food. I actually expect more from this place. Here's the reason why. What we ordered: 1. Pork and shrimp shiumai. It's was juicy, the shrimp portion outweighs the pork portion which was good. However I felt their skin was a bit too thick. Maybe it will be slightly better if the skin is thinner? Taste wise- I've had better. But they were still good, however, just like any regular shiumai. And a bit bland. 2. Xlb. Yeah. I wish their skin is a bit thinner. Meat portion was just okay. Juice inside kinda of flavorful but not the best I've had. Would I give them a second try? Yes, I would. I was actually more giving them a 3.5 stars rather than 3 flat stars. 3. Fried Tofu. The best appetizer from them. Tofu was so crunchy and the seasoning were just perfect. Not too salty yet not too sweet. The green onion on top adds the perfect crunch. 4. Dandan Noodle. We actually had their veggie dandan noodle with cucumbers. It was okay. The sauce was not too tangy. Noodle was on the perfect mark chewiness. However, I would order this dish again in the future. In conclusion, this place is a perfect place to get lunch or dinner takeouts during weekdays. For future reference I will order: - Shiumai - Fried tofu - Another dish from their noodle. Don't forget to check in on yelp to get ADDITIONAL 15% off your entire bill! read more

The last time i was here it was during the throng if the pandemic and we only picked up but this time, we are dining in. Epic is a Shanghai style dumplings and if you have been to the native city you'd understand the significance of soup dumplings. The number 1 on their dimsum menu is my favorite followed by their marinated pig ear and the spicy beef tendon. You can order using a QR code before you are seated or you can wait to have a friendly server attend to your needs. The staffs are very professional and very helpful if you cant make up your mind on what to eat. read more

Epic Dumpling - Combination Chow Mein - Dim Sum Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

See all

First time eating here. The pan fried dumplings were fantastic, meat was juicy and soup inside was flavorful. Dough wasn't too chewy and all the elements went well together. Pancake was also pretty good, the actual pancake roll was great. Flaky and crunchy but also a bit chewy. Wish the filling was a little better, felt there was too much sauce and meat wasn't very tender. Tried some of my friend's chow mein, some of the best chow mein I've had. Will be getting that next time I'm here. Main reason preventing this from being a 5 star review is that it is a bit expensive to have a truly filling meal. Upwards of $20 for one person to really be full, so not sure how often I will frequent this place. But the food is good and I enjoyed eating here. read more

Epic Dumpling - Shanghai Pan Fried Soup Dumpling - Dim Sum Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Great spot for a traditional Chinese meal of dumplings and noodles! This is a no-frills restaurant that does the classics well. I tried the soup dumplings, pan fried dumplings, and dan dan noodles. I was very impressed by the noodles, which were very fresh, flavorful, and came with a ton of pork and cucumber. The pan fried dumplings were also a hit, with a fluffy and chewy steamed exterior, crispy bottom, and juicy filling. They have a fairly extensive menu and I would be curious to try more dishes. read more

Dim sum and dumplings epically bad! Tasteless fare. Noodles were meh! Veggies in noodles were ok. Skip it! read more

I really like this spot !! The food comes out super fast and everything I've tired has been delicious!

Digitally stumbled up on this place after exercising nearby and hungry. XLB is one of my daughter's faves so we gave it a go. It was very hot day, and they don't have AC (although the dine in still managed to be full), so we opted to take out. We tried the pan fried XLB and the Dan Dan noodles. While waiting, my daughter loved watching the lady wrap the dumplings (perfectly I might add). She only took a break to offer my daughter some candy! The order was ready almost exactly per their 15 minute estimate. The dan dan was really good! I got a meal and a half out of it. The sauce, which included a peanut slightly spicy sauce, and a much spicier sauce, were really good. It might be a tad overly sweet to some but for me it was good. The XLB were large. The soup inside had gotten absorbed into the peel so unfortunately there wasn't much of that. But my daughter liked everything else about it. The place was very hopping on a friday night and I noticed as people were leaving, they complimented the owner saying the food was really good. Soo, we'll be back! read more

Epic dumpling provides an average Shanghai Dim Sum experience for a good price. The XLBs are not exactly traditionally sized. Too large, skin too thick. This would be okay if there was a good amount of flavour but the meat and soup tasted a bit bland. At 7 dollars though, it's not bad for a cheap eat. The pan fried bun were quite disappointing. Overwhelmingly lacking on the soup side, and the bottom was soft and soggy. More dough than anything here. At 10 dollars for 6 of these, it is approaching unreasonably priced for the value here. The walnut shrimp were dry, and only had a hint of the sweet flavour that one expects from walnut shrimp. Honestly, the walnuts were the best part. The two noodle dishes were okay, but nothing special. We didn't get to try the other dumplings, but based off the XLB alone, Epic dumpling may be a decent choice if you want a cheap soup dumpling option without having to steam it yourself. Other than that, I recommend looking harder for something more appetizing. read more

Got the XLB and crab XLB. The fillings were bland and over salted at the same time. The shu mai was okay but the frozen ones from any Chinese supermarket tasted better imo. Portion size was decent but I wish it was less. Service was quick though. I read good reviews about the chow mein and other dishes. Perhaps I ordered the wrong items. Anyway, I wouldn't go back because what I had was not up to my standards. read more

Had i wrote this review based on my first visit it would be a solid 5 stars. I came back here specificially for the Golden fried chicken wings. Which is fried chicken tossed in salted egg yolk sauce. It wasn't on the menu in the restaurant but it's on the togo menu on the webiste. Our server, he got it to us. Though this time it wasn't smooth and coated well it was lacking the umami and salt that i was hoping for. The other dishes did very well. We had the fried pork chop over rice and the fried chicken over rice. both are delicious. Until my next visit to see which experience was a fluke. read more

I was on a quest for soup dumplings/xiao long bao and I came across this Epic dumpling. Did I find THE soup dumpling?!?! I ordered several items, the pork XLB, the hot and spicy pork dry noodles, the beef pancake roll and spicy wontons. XLBs- they were okay. I was slightly expecting an umami bomb gushing in my mouth but it was kind of underwhelming. There was soup, but it didn't quite live up to what I had built it up to be in my head. Hot and spicy pork dry noodles- these were also okay. It wasn't as spicy as I hoped it would be, there were chunks or pork and veggies mixed in with the sauce which I loved, but the sauce itself was slightly too salty. BUT, the noodles were super al dente. Beef pancake roll- this item was decent. The pancake was nice and crispy, the beef was really tender and had a slightly sweet taste to it. The cucumbers come up the rear and adds an refreshing and crunch factor to the overall roll. Spicy wontons- my favorite thing here. It had a mala(numbing) spice to it and the wontons themselves were extremely flavorful. Skin had a really good texture and was able to soak up all the spicy sauce/oil that was cooked with it. All in all, decent spot if you want spicy wontons! read more

YUMMY. I'm always on the hunt for some good dumps and noodles. This place was delicious. It was awesome to see that they were making the dumplings there. Next time I come to South Bay, I may need to get some of the frozen ones. For two people, we ordered A LOT. I think the sad thing is we ate all of it. Ever last piece. If that's not a testament to how good this is, not sure what is. - beef pancake: YAS it was flavorful, perfectly chewy on the outside. The meat was also so incredibly tender. - soup dumplings: I didn't take a picture but these were quite good. They had a moderate amount of soup in them. Pretty tasty. - pan fried dumpling: these were good. Just don't bite into them the second you get them. It WILL burn your mouth lol. - shrimp and pork spicy wontons: I was hoping it would have a more strong chili oil taste like the wontons from din tai fung. This is the only item I may not get again. Conflicted though because the wontons were quite good. read more

Went a few weeks ago. The wait staff was great; friendly and came around regularly. However the food was just average at best. Ordered the XLB, Pan Fried Dumplings, pork and Cabbage Dumplings, Taiwanese Braised Pork Fresh Noodle and Saute Pea Shoots with Garlic. The best dish out of all of them were the pea shoots which is kind of sad given it's a dumpling place and we tried all the dumpling varieties. The dumplings were just very doughy and bland, especially the XLB, which is sad since I wanted to like the place. The fresh noodle dish, the noodles themselves were cooked well (enough chew and bite) but again the braised pork and rest of the ingredients fell flat, had to add a ton of the pickled mustard greens to taste anything I may go back to try them again in hopes that it's better, but as of right now probably won't and wouldn't recommend read more

Very fast service. No frills restaurant. The XLB dumplings were delicious. Skin was thick but the inside was tasty.

So good! My family really loves this spot for to-go orders. We ordered: Crab XLB - 4.5/5 - great soup dumplings, the crab is different, but overall great flavor Pork XLB - 5/5 - really good, and a classic Beef Pancake Roll - 5/5 - honestly one of the best I've ever had! I personally don't like cilantro, and this one has cucumbers and no cilantro so that was fantastic Handmade Dumplings, Pork with Chive and Pork with Green Beans - 4.5/5 - dumpling skins are rather thick, but good flavor in the filling Wonton Soup - 3/5 - wontons are good, soup quality was alright Green Onion Pancake - 4/5 - A classic, good but slightly dough-y, might have been because we got takeout. TLDR: Definitely give this place a try, and fairly affordable! Get the XLB and the garlic pea sprouts read more

The dumplings, steamed fried pan buns and XLB's were delicious as well as the eggplant noodles. The only thing I didn't like which they didn't recommend was the cold cucumbers. Everything else was delicious! You see 3 ladies making dumplings fresh in the window. I would just order what they recommend. They were all super tasty! 10% off if you pay cash. read more

I've ordered from Epic Dumpling almost every week for the last few months but have been holding off writing a review because I never managed to take a picture. Epic Dumpling has been our go to place for takeout whenever I've had a long day at work and don't have the strength to cook anything. Things we really like from Epic Dumpling: 1. Dan Dan Noodle!! Truly Epic. 2. Ha Gao 3. Mapo Tofu with Pork!! Great for leftovers the following day. Oh the Mala taste.... amazing 4. Green Beans 5. Black Bean Fish 6. Tofu noodle and cilantro 7. Popcorn Noodle We'll be moving out of state soon and my husband and I keep saying how we want to take this place with us. read more

Epic Dumpling - Sorry for the messy picture but we always forget to take a picture before we start our meal - Dim Sum Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

I've never had food that tasted this awful. We ordered three dishes for takeout, and found it to be so bad that we just threw all of it after a couple of bites. The potstickers had a really thick and dry wrapper with minimal stuffing. The kung pao was nasty and had so much oil, that eating it made me really sick. The string beans again was floating in oil and tasted awful. Never again. read more

Food was super good! Ugh, didnt take any pics, but everything we tried was so good. Will def come back!

I ordered Epic Dumpling online for dinner - bonus that they have 10% off over $30+ orders. I ended up ordering the shrimp dumplings, shu mai, salt and pepper fish, walnut shrimp, bbq pork bun, and chicken feet. We received a call a few minutes after ordering to inform us they didn't have chicken feet tonight, so we asked for it to be removed from the order. The food overall was okay! My favorite was the shrimp dumplings with large pieces of shrimp inside. The shu mai was fairly standard. The walnut shrimp was okay, but I did appreciate the sauce being packed on the side as the shrimp didn't get soggy on the ride home. The salt and pepper fish was not my favorite - it was very batter-heavy with little fish inside and tasted overdone. My friends said the pork buns were good! It is nearby, so I would like to try some of their other dumplings or menu items! read more

This place is awesome. My parents and wife are vegetarians - so it's hard to find a dumpling place with good vegetarian dumplings. This place has great vegetarian options - vegetarian dumplings, spring rolls and chowmein and all are perfect. We have also tried pork dumplings, soup dumplings, popcorn chicken and everything has hit the spot. It's now become our favorite place to get dumplings and good Chinese food overall. Give it a try and you'd love it read more

I've been here a few times and had always enjoyed their dumplings until my recent visit. Customer service was lacking and the lady cleaning up took my plate, without even asking if I was done or still working on it...and I was still working on it. Ambiance was nothing fancy since it seems like they're more of a takeout restaurant anyway. The thing that really disappointed me was their soup dumplings. It seems like the quality has gone down a lot. The soup dumplings during my recent visit, had little to no soup in it. Most was really dry and not plump at all. I also didn't see their Cantonese shrimp dumplings on the menu so not sure if they permanently took that item out. I did enjoy their sesame red bean ball. It was crunchy and just the right amount of red bean. I also ordered the chili oil wontons and that was pretty good. Definitely on the spicier side compared to Din Tai Fung. read more

The dumplings here aren't bad! The XLB filling is mushier than I like, but there was definitely soup inside. It squirted all over my steering wheel when I took a bite which was hilarious. XLB overall was okay, I wasn't too crazy about it. The Har Gow was well made. The wrap had that classic qq that I look for in a good har gow. The shrimp filling was very good as well. I'll order this again! The Sichuan Wontons also lived up to my expectations. The sauce had good hints of Sichuan peppercorns. I'd reorder this as well! I wasn't a huge fan of the beef rolls. It was really bland and had no flavor. The meat was really tender, but the dish lacked any of the classic flavors like cinnamon, coriander, or star anise. I would not order this again. read more

So good, we ate here twice in one week! We ordered way too much food on our first visit, but immediately went back after we were done with our leftovers, so we could share this place with our family. Takeout is super convenient, as you can order through Yelp. My favorites were the green onion pancake with egg and the Taiwanese popcorn chicken. The green onion pancake was crispy and I loved the sweet plum sauce paired with the savory egg. The popcorn chicken was extremely flavorful and well marinated. Their steamed pork bun is fresh and delicious and we also enjoyed the shumai, chili wontons, and xlb. We will definitely be returning again soon! read more

Epic Dumpling - Dim Sum Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Why aren't all Chinese places open for indoor dining yet. We ended up here because the three other places we tried to eat at were all takeout only. But hey we're glad we ended up here because service was excellent and the menu was wow. Love the extensive veggie options that including noodle soups, fried rices, fried noodles and three different kinds of veg dumpling. We loved both the zucchini egg and the chive egg dumplings. The veg jajang ( do you know hard hard it is to bid veg jajang???) sauce was meh but noodles were yum. The curry veg fried rice was yum. Smashed cucumber solid. Onion pancake thin and crispy. My husband had the bean curd and pork, was just like my grandma use to make it. We ended up buying some frozen dumping for home. A bit expensive but hey it's handmade. Will definitely be coming back here again. read more

SO SO SO happy to have found this place!!! so many vegetarian options.! We were yelping for a new place with veggie options and epic dumpling showed up. We ordered a green onion pancake with eggs, a mushroom and bokchoy dumpling, Mapo tofu and a vegetable fried rice. We loved everything! I had been missing mapo tofu for a while .. I cannot wait to try some other vegetarian things. We did a take out. Wait time was not much.. 20mins. The price range is good and big portions! I was missing the garlic chili oil that most restaurants carry. May be i should ask for it next time :) read more

They were pretty busy with take out orders around that time, so place your order early to avoid a longer wait. I decided to try a variety of different dumpling items: Pork Dumpling w/Chive (12pcs/$9.99), Shanghai Pan Fried Soup Dumpling (6/$7.99), Golden Taro Ball (6/$6.99), Marinated Beef Pancake Roll ($8.99), XLB Shanghai Soup Dumpling (6/$6.99) [https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=pr3u_87gsYIawB61cv1DmQ&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=0_sQhqCauX2cEwCIFtH8Hg&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg]. The beef pancake roll was my favorite out of all the dishes, and I liked how crispy and flavorful the pancake part was. Their pan fried soup dumplings were solid, but the fried bottom could have been crispier. The pork dumplings were solid, but I would skip the xlb unless you are seriously craving them. The skin was a little too thick, and the filling needed more flavor. The golden taro balls were unique, and very crispy on the outside. They were a little dense, but had really good taro flavor and weren't too sweet- definitely worth trying once! Epic Dumpling has an epic menu, and have a lot of different items to choose from outside of dumplings. I definitely want to come back to try their noodle dishes, bento boxes, and other dumplings! Parking was easy to find since this plaza has plenty of spots. read more

I almost want to keep this place a secret because it's that good! We have lots of dumpling choices in the area, especially Sunnyvale but Epic Dumpling is so much more. It doesn't look like much from The outside, located in a strip mall. But there's plenty of seating inside. Clean and organized, you order either through the app or with a server. Dumplings are so fresh you can watch them be made. Their main dishes are incredible. Every fish taste different and it goes without saying. The dumplings are so good! read more

Epic Dumpling - Dim Sum Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Consistently delicious. Dine in decor is very casual but don't be fooled - the noodles are five star.

Yummy, Northern Chinese/Beijing style food & dim sum. Their dumplings (水饺) were yummy, as were the noodles and other food we ordered. Reasonable prices and quick service, can't go wrong with this place. I went with my mom, and this place is Beijing-born/China-raised mom approved!! Slightly disappointed with the soup dumplings/xiaolongbao because they seemed a little deflated/not soupy enough, but otherwise the food was lovely! The restaurant is pretty simple and no frills, but they've updated the wall decorations since some of the pictures from reviews I've seen here on Yelp. It looks nice inside! read more

As the name suggests, this place excels in their dim sum. If I came back, I wouldn't order so many entrees and I would order more dim sum. Food Mapo Tofu - it was my first time trying the dish. I wasn't a fan but that's most likely because I don't appreciate mala. I'm not going to rate this as I don't know if this was good or bad Xiao long bao - I enjoyed it! I wish we got more. 8/10 Epic chicken - 6.5/10 Didn't have high expectations for this dish but it was pretty good. Beef chow mein - 7/10 Nothing special here but it was tasty. Noodles were better than the meat. Shanghai Pan Fried Soup Dumpling - 7/10 I enjoyed this but preferred the XLB. Their dough to meat ratio wasn't quite what I wanted but the texture, filling, and soup was good. read more
