I like the paintings on the wall but the food is not good. Prices are inexpensive, but both dishes we ordered were too salty. The noodle dish I got had way too many onions and only like a couple noodles. read more

Was looking for a new spot for lunch. Previously went to Luna Pizza next door and observed the dumpling restaurant next door, had to try it. Went inside the restaurant, the place was as huge inside, clean and the staff immediately took our order. I ordered some pork dumpling and they were outstanding! Furthermore I had water and it was filtered water! I ordered a lunch special, which was delicious and very good priced. I will definitely try this spot again, the food on other peoples tables looked amazing. read more

Why 5 stars? Because we tried a lot of things and a couple of them were really memorable. --- --- --- Our family and my brother's family met up together here before taking our kids to a show nearby. We ordered a bunch of stuff and shared everything, which is truly the only way to dine. 5-stars: Mango, Refreshing, Shrimp Dumplings, Taiwain Noodles and the Walnut Shrimp. The latter two might even be 6-star worthy. The Walnut Shrimp was so sweet that it was almost a dessert, more like a funnel cake. Both were big hits at the table. 4-stars: Soup Dumplings, Chicken Fried Rice, Beef & Broccoli with Biang Biang noodles, and General Tso's Chicken. All were enjoyable, but not quite as amazing as the top list. 3-stars: Pan fried dumplings and the taro milk tea. I definitely would not order either of these again. Both were very bland in their own right. But overall, the 5-star items far outweighed a couple of things that were just okay, especially the Taiwan Noodles and Walnut Shrimp. And kudos to our sever, who was great, and dealt with a table with 3 kids and the messes that came with that after we left. My brother offered to help clean up his son's mess, but she insisted on doing so herself. This is a really good spot -- I wish it were closer to us! read more

I ordered the Mongolian Lamb Biang Noodle and the Chili oil dumplings for delivery. I loved the dumplings but wasn't so fond of the lamb Biang noodles. Just needed more flavor. I used some of the flavor from the chili oil dumplings for the Biang noodles and that worked well. I would definitely try this place again and try another dish. Good flavors overall! read more

This was just alright in my opinion. I got the beef noodle soup (not spicy) and the broth was super bland. Maybe if I hadn't gotten it non-spicy it would've been good but it just didn't hit the spot for me. The other stuff was better, especially the garlic cucumber salad. That was definitely my favorite dish! The egg waffle was also really good! read more

Low key ambiance. Staff is very hospitable. Started with a delicious soup dumpling. Mild, but flavorful. The Taiwanese Noodles were tasty with julienned vegetables and small bits of chicken. Loved the eggplant dish prepared with a light soy sauce mix. The walnut beer-battered shrimp was lightly sweetened. Finished off with a chocolate drizzled waffle topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. read more

Came during an off time the other day and saw really good reviews so we were excited to try it out. The service was great and fast, they were super attentive. Even tho we came at a weird time, there were still a number of others eating and it felt like a casual place to go. We were just a little disappointed in our food though. The soup dumplings were really good and they had lots of soup in them. The pan fried báo were good, just a little underwhelming. The chili oil dumplings were our least favorite :( I generally always gravitate towards this item on menus, but these did not seem to have any chili oil on them and they were kind of hard. Like it was either not cooked completely or liek they were cooked a bit ago and left to sit. I'll try to come back and give it another try! read more

Decent Chinese food! Went to trendy dumplings on a whim with my friend and shared a few dishes. We tried the Biang Biang noodles, pork Bao, and the orange beef and were stuffed. - Biang Biang noodles (2.5/5): To be honest, I didn't expect it to be just one very long noodle. The noodle was very chewy and starchy and was kind of hard to eat. Even though it was flat it was on the thicker side and didn't really absorb the sauce, making it not very flavorful. The topping/sauce was really good though. I liked the minced meat and green beans combo and it had a nice amount of heat from the peppers. The meat was salty and juicy and the green beans added a nice crunch. It was very hard to eat with the noodle because it would slip off. I think it would taste so much better being served on rice. - Orange Beef (4.3/5): The orange beef had a very nice crispy exterior and was extremely flavorful. It was sweet but not too artificial like other orange chicken/beef and there were chunks of real oranges which added a refreshing surprise. I really liked this dish and would order it again. I think the only complaint I have is that they only gave us a very small bowl of rice to eat with it. - Pork Bao (4/5): I usually don't like pork Bao because it is too sweet, but this one wasn't very sweet. The boa part was very fluffy and fresh and the meat was chunky, which I enjoyed. I actually really liked this pork Bao. Service/ambiance: The interior was very cute and the service was good. We did come near closing time, but they still seated us and didn't rush us. read more

Let's start with positive, food and boba was so yummy. It came out very quick and price was not bad. The negative and really it's not that bad just some FYI.

So bad. The food feels like it's frozen or something. Way too greasy. I eat mad dumplings and noodles. The dumplings here were fine. But the pan fried noodles were clearly like frozen or something. read more

To be crystal clear: this place is NOT Trendy Dumpling. We asked point blank if it was the same company, and were told they share the same boss. Let me tell you--if that's true, then somebody went completely rogue, because the recipes here don't even come close. The food was sloppy, rushed, and downright disappointing. And the service? Absolutely unacceptable. Our server acted as though answering basic menu questions was beneath her. When the food finally came, it was so underwhelming that we just wanted to pay for what we touched and leave. Despite her nasty attitude, my boyfriend and I still said "thank you" and "have a good day" when leaving. She ignored us both times and stormed off like we were bothering her by simply existing. I don't care how good a place's reputation is supposed to be--if the food is bad AND the service is this disgusting, it's not worth a dime. Save yourself the regret and RUN. read more

Not my cup of tea. In the Kung pao chicken, the chicken did not seem like very good quality. The sauce was overpoweringly seasoned and too sweet for me. The chili oil dumplings are good but could use more sauce and flavor. Their wrapping is too thick for my liking. The shu mai are pretty good. The soup dumplings were my favorite thing flavor wise, but four out of six of them split before being delivered to me, which defeated the purpose of ordering soup dumplings. They need to figure out a better delivery mechanism for their soup dumplings. Wanna Bao puts them in little cups to keep them from splitting on delivery orders, which is something I think this place should try. read more

We stopped for dinner after the gym one evening. The food was good with great portions. The service was fine, minimal interruptions yet attentive enough. We can sit inside for a laid back date night or take it to go. I'm sure I'll go back because it's good and convenient. read more

The shu mai was just "ok." The vegetable dumplings were amazing. Whatever chili oil they put them in is so flavorful and had the perfect about of spice. The lo mein was on the blander side even though I asked for a little more spice but the portion size was great. The egg rolls were little but very standard with regards to flavor. If we come back we will stick to dumplings as that was the best thing we ate. read more

Interesting name but the food is the real star here. Our trio arrived moments before the lunch rush but a full dining room didn't cause any delays in service and our food was quickly brought to the table. We started with an array of appetizers; shrimp balls, beef pancakes, pan fried bao and the always needed egg rolls. The shrimp balls are outstanding, beautifully presented but chock full of shrimp and taste. Pan fried bao were delicious, so much so that I almost missed out entirely on the photo op, you instead get a picture of the pork interior. The beef pancakes were different and packed with cubes of beef. We were so full from apps, we almost decided to forgo the mains but leftovers rule. The orange beef was crispy and a little over sauced but that speaks to my preference and I'm sure if I asked it would be accommodated. The fried rice was large and flavorful. This a bright, sunny dining room with close proximity to shopping. It's enticing! read more

The combo fried rice was solid! I wasn't super impressed with the dumplings, but loved the cooked bao beef. This feels more like a fast grab and go. The service was great. You order at the counter, but they continuously check in on you and clear the table as you eat. No loud music, so a great place to catch up with a friend. read more

So, it was alright. Outside is kinda ominous, inside is nice enough. I came to enjoy a solo lunch and was a few min shy of the lunch menu- chef was gracious enough to honor the menu for me anyway. I ordered the Szechuan shrimp (historically not my fav but my server recommended) and a size of biang biang noods bc they look so good in every pic. Maybe it was bc i came at menu change, but everything was satisfactory, not next level. Veggies were fresh and plentiful in the shrimp serving. Noods were maybe bland? It was my first time having them, so maybe that's right. Green beans were yum but a little cool in temp. I'd come back for another visit. Two word review: lunch spot. read more

These are some reliably great dumplings near the heights. The rest of the spots we would typically go for soup dumplings are either in Chinatown or Midtown, either way a bit tougher to get to. The pork bao are solid. Singapore noodles were spicy, but a little dry. The meat in the noodles was cooked very well, though. This is kind of a small location, so around dinner time there can be a 10-20 minute wait. read more

Clean, attentive staff and solid food. Stopped by on a Tuesday at 5:15pm. Was seated right away and the restaurant was about 50% full the entire time I was there. I started with the soup dumplings and chili dumplings. Soup dumplings were a 8.5/10. Great broth and flavorful. The dipping sauce was gingery and good! The chili dumplings were a 3/10 in terms of spice. Very mild. Overall they were a 7/10. Two of the dumplings were 100% dough with no filling. I wish they were spicier. Order beef fried rice and the baing baing noodles. Free rice was unreal and I'd order every time. Flavorful, hot and just yum yum. The noodles were good but I can't eat cilantro and they were topped and there was cilantro mixed in the entire dish. Good value and good food! read more

It's ok but I've had better dumplings. I actually preferred their other dishes instead.

Pretty decent spot. Small cozy feel. The servers are semi attentive but very nice. Really enjoyed their lunch bento boxes (not pictured) green beans were fire. Mapo tofu was solid. Salt and pepper fish was really good. Kinda disappointed in the XLB which is one of the reasons why I came here. The flavor just wasn't that great. read more

There is not enough words to express how AMAZING this place is. A great atmosphere, perfect prices, friendly staff, great vibes, super clean, everything hit on all cylinders. I walked in and it was full, as soon as a table left two waiters tag teamed cleaning the table (clearing plates and thoroughly wiping down) as another waiter ushered us to it. Throughout the meal multiple waiters checked on us and took our orders. Their communication was on par as we never had a waiter never know what was going on with us. Simply amazing and ideal for the date night we were looking for! Food was also 10/10. The soup dumplings were perfect, it was nearly impossible to not order another order of the pan fried dumplings, and don't even get me started on the pineapple fried rice, DROOL. We finished the night with chocolate soup dumplings which were not too sweet which was a nice fusion. You can bring your own alcohol, but it's a $10 corking fee. They also have alcohol you can order as well! They offered very fair pricing for their drinks. If you're looking for a place to grub without breaking the bank, this is the place to go! read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch with mom and really enjoyed it ! Good and quick service, not overly spicy , great tea! Parking: It's in a shopping center so there's plenty of parking. We did have a hard time finding it/entering the parking lot from the way we came but that was just us probably. Atmosphere: It's somehow both cozy/small and spacious at the same time, also exactly what you'd expect but still somehow modern and fresh. There's booths, tables, and a high table with tall bar stool seating as well. I loved the art on the wall too. Service: Everyone we interacted with was great! Our server also offered to box up our food for us at the table which was great (I always spill when I do it on my own so this was super appreciated!) Drinks: The milk tea with Boba was absolute perfection! Plus the cup was HUGE! My mom got a hot ginger tea which she loved- perfect for a chilly day but refreshing too Food: We got 2 dumpling dishes, the pork soup, and the maps tofu. All of it was fresh and delicious! I was a bit nervous as I find things super spicy all the time, but everything was manageable with a slight kick. It was a bit silly that all the food came out randomly and quickly. We loved that it was quick, but it all came out super close to each other. 1 appetizer then 1 entree then a 2nd appetizer then the last entree. It worked out fine since we were sharing everything but it was silly for us. Overall it was a great experience. Will be back ! read more

I've never been so happy with a last minute food decision. Shoutout to restaurants that stay open on holidays, especially for families like mine that don't have enough space at home to stay inside for holiday gatherings. Appreciate the quick service and warm hospitality from beginning to end. We were seated right away and the staff frequently checked in on us throughout our meal. Everything was SO GOOD - make sure you order a good mix of vegetable, spicy & savory, and sweet dishes to keep your tummy well-rounded. A few of my favorites include: chili oil dumplings, Biang Biang noodles (kind of similar flavors as chili oil dumplings), Tofu & Fish, green beans, and the Walnut & Shrimp (had a very good sweet & savory mix). I would say the portions are not as gigantic as some of your typical Szechuan places near Chinatown, but still very reasonable overall. We ordered about 7 items split among 5 of us, spent about $100 and left very full and satisfied. read more

I was amazed and disappointed in this place: amazed by how incongruent the reviews and food were against the actual experiences and disappointed by the poor quality of the food and horrible service. My first impression of how bad the place would be came almost immediately after being seated and being handed dirty menus. After ordering, I looked around and noticed a glass window into the kitchen, through which I noticed a guy pouring frozen dumplings into plastic bins. I was shook. I wondered how a place with "dumpling" in its name could fathom using frozen dumplings. I got up. I walked closer. I noticed an entire freezer filled with frozen dumplings and boxes labeled things like, "chicken dumplings," which were clearly purchased from somewhere else. The dumplings tasted frozen and poorly prepared. We ordered three orders of dumplings or various flavors, general tso's chicken, and their combination fried rice. All of it was trash. I feel confidently the positive ratings must have been purchased, because the food was totally incongruent with the food and service. The dumplings tasted like they were mass produced and frozen, which they were, which might have been the most authentic part of the experience. The general tso's chicken tasted like they were 80% bread and 20% chicken. The sauce was odd and not at all like any general tso's sauce I have ever had. The rice was unremarkable and the old edible part of our meal. Finally, all of the plates had cracks on them. I'd recommend you stay away from this place. read more

Stumbled upon this place by accident. I have to say we were all pleasantly surprised. The place is cute with murals on the wall. Nice bench tables. We walked in and were seated right away. We ordered the soup dumplings which were soupy and tasty, what a surprise. We also ordered the pan fried dumplings, they were also tasty and nice and crispy. Our third dish was the beef noodles with broccoli. The noodles I'm told are hand pulled noodles. The dish was very tasty, my bf who is picky even said he was surprisingly pleased. So glad We happened upon this place. Service was good, staff were friendly. Cost was comparable to other places outside of Chinatown like huynh. Around 8 plus for the dumplings and 17 for the noodle dish so we paid Around 40 plus to feed the 3 of us. I would definitely recommend this place and I will definitely come back to try other dishes! read more

This Asian restaurant is located at The Heights ( Yale st), location is very easy to access and there is plenty of parking. From outside looks like any other restaurant at a shopping center, but once you open the door they have a cute decoration for the Lunar Year. Restaurant is clean and roomy. I like they have pictures on the menu to help if you are not familiar with these type of food (like me) and also they have instructions on how to eat a special soup they have, I think that is great. Prices are affordable and the amount of food is generous. We got two servers, the guy, a mature man was short and direct to the point, English a little broken but still able to communicate, the girl was very nice and attentive and her English was easier to understand. There was a lot of Asian people eating here, that is a great indicator for the author the food. We ordered the pan fríen bao with pork meat, very very delicious, a must if you go. We also ordered pineapple combination fried rice and it was beautifully served on a pineapple! We also got Biang Biang noodles, so delicious. And you have to try their refreshers, we got Mango and also Lychee, both were so good! Overall this is a great place to come and eat ! read more

The food came out super fast! The service was thorough and nice. I got the pan fried dumpling and beef flat noodle 10/10 recommend!!!

I cannot praise this place enough. Every thing here is so delicious. They make their noodles In house. The dumplings are like nothing you have ever had before. We ordered about 6 dishes and had to have a couple Togo boxes. At the end of the meal we ordered the chocolate soup dumplings. This was melted chocolate inside a dumpling. It was crazy good. I cannot wait to come back here and order other items. read more
