    This place was really good! Went here after a quick yelp search while in SAC and what a good choice this was. Everything we got was so good and reasonably priced. Would go back next time I'm in Sacramento!

    Pork & Cabbage Dumplings
    Judy H.

    Came in on a Sunday around 5pm. There were two other tables with customers. We got a table right away. The order taker was friendly. We ordered xiao long bao, chicken cilantro dumplings, spicy garlic green beans and two Thai teas with crystal boba-different than the traditional boba. They were delicious and a nice large size. The green beans came out quickly and served piping hot. They were perfectly cooked with the perfect amount of spice. The soup dumplings were well made but the soup had mostly leaked out. The chicken cilantro dumplings was the highlight along with the green beans. The service was fast!! The restaurant is small but it was not over crowded today. There is an outside space but today there was a homeless person sitting out there when we arrived so no one was using it. Food and service rates 5 stars but with the homeless person in patio...minus one star : (

    Just found This place.... Fabulous prices! All my faves on the menu! Outside dining. Plates & servings are humongous & full flavored! Recommend this place to muh Asian peeps! Hidden no longer

    BWE and I were out and about looking for a place to eat on a Sunday afternoon. We came upon this place. What a find! I ordered the spicy pork dumplings and the Mongolian beef with chow mein. BWE ordered the chicken and vegetables and chicken and cilantro dumplings (gluten free). NOTE: for those who are gluten free, they offer several gluten free and vegan options. We were both very satisfied with our orders. The spicy pork dumplings were delicious, packing a punch that was not overwhelming. They give you a TON of food. There was no way either of us was going to finish our orders. We both got take home boxes and are looking forward to round two with these dishes. We'll be back.

    I'd give them 3.5 if I could. The food was okay.... we liked the pan fried noodles and I enjoyed the shrimp siu Mai. The pork cabbage dumplings were just okay--kind of soggy and overcooked. We ordered 3 drinks, one with boba, unaware that they only have crystal boba, which none if us like. I'd recommend they call out what kind they have on the menu to avoid confusion. I liked the passion fruit blended ice. Not the oreo cookie blended ice. The place is very small and cute and the service was fast and friendly.

    Great spot to grab lunch! Outdoor seating with shade and quick service. The Honey Walnut Shrimp was super crispy and full of sauce. I liked how many walnuts they included. The dumplings were good too! Definitely want to try their other offerings. I got my food super quickly and was surprised. Would recommend for a quick lunch and caffeine intake.

    Overall: Stellar, unassuming corner Chinese spot with the kind of authentic flavor that quietly humbles you. We went on a whim and walked out wondering why we had not been there sooner. Service was quick. Every dish landed, but the spare rib noodle soup alone makes it worth the drive. This is the kind of place you visit once and then start planning your return Parking: Street parking and surprisingly not difficult to find We had: Spare rib noodle soup (5/5): Maybe it was the rainy weather, maybe it was fate, but this bowl defined the night. On paper it's simple: pork, baby bok choy, noodles, green onions. In reality it is deeply comforting and layered with flavor. The broth had body and warmth without being heavy, the ribs were tender and rich, and the noodles carried everything perfectly. It felt honest and soulful, like the kind of dish that does not try to impress you yet somehow does Garlic eggplant (5/5): A generous portion of silky eggplant cooked just right, paired with jalapeño, bamboo shoots, and mushroom in a sauce that hit that ideal balance of sweet and savory. The texture was spot on, soft but not mushy, and every component actually worked together. It is easy for eggplant to feel flat. This did not Xiao long bao (4/5): Still refining my dumpling standards, but this checked most of the important boxes. The wrapper was thin yet resilient, the broth aromatic and savory, and the filling well seasoned. The integration between soup and filling could have been a little more seamless, but overall it was a strong showing. Not transcendent, but absolutely worth ordering again

    Beautiful artwork on the building and a decent sized patio for Lil Yelper Lucie at Hidden Dumpling Midtown. We were starving and ordered a lot but seriously I always order a lot Lol. The Garlic green beens were fresh and plentiful but had mild flavor. The chicken chow fun was super fresh and light in flavor. The shrimp and pork XLB and shrimp shui mai were good. The best dumplings were the pork shrimp and chive dumplings. These had a perfect mix and strong flavors. Perhaps it's just a different philosophy of cooking here but both of us thought the food was good but lacked punch. Lots of dumpling places in midtown but only Hidden Dumpling House has a dog friendly patio. Lil Lucie gives a Paws Up approval.

    Out of the three options we got the shrimp dumplings were the best unfortunately everything else was just OK and the last item came out too late. We were already full at that point but when we reminded the waiter they said no it's coming please wait. Their menu items are very expensive, but I will say this is a very clean and renovated restaurant

    Dinner combo: General Tso Chicken chicken, chow mein, fried rice, and veggie egg roll
    Anissa R.

    My long lost Hidden Dumpling House! I've lived walking distance from HDH for over a year now and had only been once before. I thought it was average. BUT TONIGHT, I ordered a takeout dinner combo (General Tso's chicken with chow mein, fried rice, and an egg roll) and that combo hit the spot!!! The food was fresh, hot, and delicious. Mild spice for the chicken but nice and crispy yet saucy. This spot is just your local, classic Chinese restaurant with all the dumplings and staples you could ask for. I'll be back for sure! Ps. The portion was massive and totally splitable. Also, as others have mentioned, it's tight quarters but my takeout was perfectly yummy.

    Hi-ya! So my friends and I came here for dinner and it was a great find. There isn't much else around, as the name kind of suggests a nice hidden find. The service was good, dumplings were good--and very hot. The soups were tasty, but what I found my delicious was the veggie greens, so well seasoned and the fried rice. We all had a few beer and a lot of food out on the patio. It's was a good clear night, and food came fast. TBH we were probably a little louder than necessary, but the staff was super nice. The bathrooms btw were super clean and had these really funny pictures inside.

    The most adorable dumpling house serving some of the best dumplings that i ever had! The vibe in there was everything, very warm and welcoming. The decor is amazing and is filled with corgis in the most random spots! I really enjoyed the open kitchen concept. The limited seating added to the cozy charm. The wait wasn't long and our food came out quickly. So many options on the menu it was hard to decide. I already have some other dishes in mind that i would like to try the next time i visit! Most of these dishes come in family style so perfect for sharing. The portions were so big that even after sharing we still had leftovers and somehow the food tasted even better the second day!!!! Spots like this really make my heart and belly happy! As for what i ordered: - Chicken and cilantro dumplings 10/10 especially with their chilly oil - cashew chicken 10/10 so tender and flavorful

    We had our dog, and the accomodated with outside seating, which is much appreciated. Our server was very sweet and attentive, and even our dog liked her! (my dog is very shy, so i'm shocked she warmed up to someone!) We got garlic noodles, spicy garlic green beans, and the deep fried spicy wontons. Everything hit the spot, so much flavor, and the portions are so generous. I'm a huge green bean fan, and I couldn't finish only because there was so much! The wontons were good, i liked their crunch paired with the spicy chili oil. But my favorites were the garlic noodles. The way they make it is my favorite way to have it. Also tried their wintermelon tea and it was refreshing and sweet! I loved it. It's so cute here, perfect spot to have dumplings and chinese food. Shoutout to our server, Danni, for being great!

They have pickled mustard greens, pickled long beans, bamboo shoots, roasted soy bean, roasted peanuts, scallions, cilantro, and hot sauces. - A1 Guilin Rice Noodle: the noodle was very soft (but a bit too soft for me). The meat pieces were tender and good. The crackling pork pieces were super crispy and gave a nice texture to the dish. - A10 Braised Pork Dry Tossed Noodle: the curly noodle was firmer type than A1 and had a bit of chew (which was similar to instant noodle) and I prefer this. The braised pork was flavorful and delicious! - B11 Preserved Duck Egg with Tofu: the tofu was soft and was a good combo with the preserved duck egg. The egg itself didn't have very strong taste so it was very pleasant. The spicy sauce was mild for me but the overall dish was good. - C1 Old Gui Lin Boba Milk Tea (less sugar): good and milky.

It was super tough! I did enjoy the flavor of the soups though. It seemed like the broth was high fat content. I really liked the self-serve condiment bar. This was one of the highlights for me. I'll be a returning customer.

The drunken noodle plate was so BIG, then compared to the yum woonsen and khao soo those were soo small. I wanna say their stir fried dishes r big portions and everything else is small ig. Flavor of yum woonsen was pretty good, i usually like the sauce, two shrimps. Drunken noodle not bad, noodles r cut rly big lol and bit mushy decent flavor. Overall wouldnt come back, would rather go to saivaree (sister restaurant) which gives better portions and i believe their pricing is cheaper/same.
