THE BEST DUMPLINGS IN FRESNO. I have been to many Chinese restaurants but this one is definitely my favorite. I had heard about this place on social media and had to try it. We arrived right before they opened up and noticed quite a lot of cars in the parking lot waiting as well, so we knew that this place must have been good. Sure enough as soon as we walked in we were greeted by both the nice hospitality of the staff and the mouth watering smells of all the fresh food. After looking over the menu and the tips from the video that we had seen online. We started our foodie adventure with the plain garlic noodles and paired it with their popcorn chicken. We definitely found out that this restaurant was not a messing around when it came to there Chinese cuisine. The noodles were cooked and dressed perfectly. The popcorn chicken had a lite but satisfying coating of seasoning on them along with them came a sweet chili sauce that enhanced the flavor of the chicken. After that the asked for an order of their cucumber salad, we enjoyed the sweet and salty punch that they had along with the sesame seeds that were on top. We then ordered two types of dumplings, steamed and pan fried. The steamed dumplings had a mix of pork and shrimp, along with a savory soup inside. And the pan fried choice was a pork, with a crispy bottom and soft doughy top. Both options were very delicious and the chili oil that was provided on the table added so much flavor and made them taste amazing. We ended our meal with an order of their sweet "piggy" style dumplings that had a sweet custard filling that hit our sweet tooth craving. Over all we would definitely recommend this place to any family or friends. read more

The service is so good, everyone is very polite and they opened a few minutes earlier than expected. The food is pretty good, I got the beef soup with pork dumplings and the cucumber salad. The first two I'd get again however the cucumbers as delicious as they were I think I had enough since the serving was large. They play music and stay updated. Thank you so much Jingle Boa! read more

Jingle Bao - Cleared plates - Chinese Near Me - Fresno, California

The chocolate dumplings are the best in the city! Everything was flavorful and delicious and speedy service. Would absolutely come again!

Came by for lunch and luckily it wasn't too busy. We were seated quick and the service was great. They had a good amount of tables and I liked that it wasn't too loud inside. We decided to order a few things. I think we got the spicy pork soup dumplings, regular pork soup dumplings, pork dumplings (with no soup?), and the green beans. All the dumplings were really tasty and filling. The star of the show to me were the green beans. I actually don't even really like green beans, or so I thought. These were seasoned really well and cooked perfectly. I haven't stopped thinking about them since. Overall, I'd definitely be back. There are still a bunch of menu items I'm excited to try! read more

Extremely tasty dumplings! Very highly recommended! Great table service! Our garlic broccoli was not cooked as much as I like and they had no problem with bringing out another serving that was cooked more. read more

Ambiance was nice. Wait staff were friendly and sweet. Wait time wasn't too bad. The not so great were their sweets departments: The yakult drinks were not worth it, and were very mediocre. The dessert buns we ordered were the matcha lava buns and it was also disappointing, with no matcha flavor and just regular custard lava. The buns were light green, more pandan colored but flavorless, which begs the question of where is the "matcha?" The various soup dumplings were okay, not very flavorful and the filling meat seemed a little over processed, a little overly mushy. The angus beef truffle fried rice was decent as were the green beans. The spicy pork dumplings were good size and were okay. Flavors are just lacking somehow. All in all, we were not blown away, especially if you've been to Northern or Southern CA where there are plenty of really good XLB/Dumpling restaurants. We may give this place another try in the future. read more

Update: Not liking this place as much. While I appreciate the new menu items, but the taste isn't there. The new rib item didnt match up with its name (in Chinese). Garlic noodle is poor. Please take my updated as a productive thing. The taste/flavor simply not good. read more

I ordered a variety of food to go. The whole reason why I went in here was for the little pig dumplings. My family ate the food so fast they loved everything! Jingle Bao definitely found a new repeat customer. I can't say much about the service because I ordered my food to go, but the restaurant was packed and the line was out the door. I would love to go back to eat there in person to get a better feel of the establishment. From the looks of it every time I drive by it is always busy. read more

Jingle Bao - Dumpling board and D5. Jingle Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Fresno, California

My family and I definitely overordered because we wanted to try as many dishes as possible, and honestly, it was worth it! Our favorites were the spicy soup dumplings (XLB), spicy wontons, truffle Angus fried rice, popcorn chicken, chow mein, and pan-fried potstickers. The spicy XLB had more heat than I expected, but it was still very enjoyable. They were incredibly flavorful, though the wrappers were quite delicate. A few of them tore easily, causing the soup to spill out, so be extra careful when picking them up. The spicy wontons were also delicious. I wouldn't say they're quite as flavorful as Din Tai Fung's, but they're still some of the better ones you'll find in Fresno. They were generously filled with meat, which I really appreciated. The truffle Angus fried rice was hands down my favorite dish of the entire meal. It was packed with flavor, and the steak was unbelievably tender. If I could only order one thing again, it would be this. The popcorn chicken was another standout. It was perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned with that classic Taiwanese-style spice blend that I love. The chow mein was a great complement to all of our entrées, and the pan-fried potstickers disappeared almost immediately. They were crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. Not everything was a hit, though. The garlic noodles were just okay. They reminded me more of Parmesan pasta than traditional garlic noodles, and I was hoping for a much stronger garlic flavor. Personally, I still prefer the garlic noodles from The Crawfish Guy or Yard House. I didn't try the cucumber salad, but my sister did and gave it a 7/10, saying it was good but nothing particularly memorable. The only dish none of us enjoyed was the scallion pancake beef roll. The beef itself was tender, but the sauce was surprisingly sweet and didn't complement the dish at all. We could barely taste the scallion pancake, and the overall flavor fell flat. Unfortunately, this is one item we wouldn't order again. Overall, we had a great experience. There was a wide variety of dishes to choose from, most of the food was excellent, and everyone left happy (and very full!). We'd definitely come back to try even more of the menu. read more

My boyfriend and friend made a stop in Fresno while driving back from camping. We decided to get some dumplings. We ordered the cucumber salad, spicy wontons, shu mai, and spicy xlb. Customer service was quick and friendly. Food was pretty good and the condiments on the table were tasty as well. This was a pretty good spot. It was a very hot day and we didn't feel like eating a heavy meal. We wanted something not too filling and something a bit refreshing, so this was perfect and hit the spot! read more

This is a cool concept but the food and service was not for me. We even waited for them to work out new employee training and waited a while before trying this place. We had a party of 9 and was told they were able to accommodate us. They took us to our tables that they were putting together and were still dirty. We were standing around our tables as we were waiting for someone to clean it. We ordered family style so we can share the dishes. But the tables were too small or there were just too many empty plates on the table that were not taken off our table before more dishes came out. Two bussers were just standing around instead of clearing our table and we had to ask them to take the empty plates. We even at one point had to take the dirty plates to the dirty dish bucket ourselves. Our server was nice and attentive on refills on our drinks. I wish she paid more attention to the empty dirty dishes. I guess maybe the server and bussers do not share jobs? Food was extremely salty and the dumpling wrappers were pretty thick. My party and I all agreed that we didn't like this place as much and that the other dumpling place in town is way better! read more

On our first check-in, we arrived too close to closing and they were not accepting any more walk-ins. Thankfully on our next visit, weeks later, we arrived in time to be the last party seated. Kind host, server, and staff. Our party of four requested Hot Jasmine Tea, Chicken Eggrolls, Shrimp & Pork Dumplings, Popcorn Chicken, Pork & Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup, Jingle Fried Rice, and Sesame Balls. My favorite part of the meal was my tea and the soup. Seemed a bit pricey, however we plan to visit again in the future. read more

Jingle Bao - Green beans. Chow mein. Spicy wonton. Chicken popcorn. Potstickers. Wings. Garlic broccoli. - Chinese Near Me - Fresno, California

We came here for lunch with a group of three and ordered two lunch specials, which ended up being the perfect amount of food. One combo came with a drink, cucumber salad, an appetizer, and fried rice, while the other substituted soup dumplings for the fried rice. For our appetizers, we chose the scallion pancake and the popcorn chicken. Both were absolutely delicious and came with flavorful dipping sauces that made them even better. The fried rice was basic but tasty, and the soup dumplings were just as delicious. My favorite had to be the piggy custard buns we had for dessert. These were piggy shaped steamed buns filled with a sweet custard. So yummy and so cute of course! The restaurant was pretty big with lots of seating. We were there at lunch on a Wednesday and it wasn't very full. The food came out decently fast as well. Definitely would go here again! read more

Invited here for dinner after a long trip from SoCal. Friends have raved about this place and glad we were able to get some good food. Lots of choices for a complete meal: Cucumber salad, Kimchee beef dumpling, shrimp and pork Xiao long bao and a chocolate xiao long bao for dessert. Service is quick and efficient especially for a packed restaurant with all the table full of hungry people. The dining area was somewhat crowded when we arrived but we were seated promptly. Open table seating with no booths. We'll be back to sample more items on the menu Arrive early to find a seat and enjoy your meal here. read more

My daughter and I love dumplings so we like to try all the same items to make a good and fair comparison. We finally got to Jingle Bao after all the hype, hearing that it was the best in town. We went on a Friday evening and there was only a short wait considering the restaurant was packed. There is a little ipad/tablet near the front counter that you enter your name and phone number for the waitlist. I didn't see clear signage for this so I would have missed it if the patron who entered before us didn't sign in first. When we were called to the counter when our table was ready, we were seated and handed menus of which we quickly scanned and got our order situated. Once our server came to the table, we ordered a few things and she went on her way. I guess was expecting a little more from her regarding the way the place works like the sauces and all that because that's what I've experienced at other dumpling places. Regardless, our food came out quickly, however one dish at a time: Strawberry Smoothie with Boba: good, my daughter liked it a lot Cucumber Salad: A bit bland. It was drenched in chili oil sauce but that didn't provide much flavor. 2x Pork Xiao Long Bao: these were good but they didn't stand out. Spicy Wonton: same as the pork XLB... good but not overwhelmed. Chocolate Xiao Long Bao: too much chocolate for me but kids thought it was ok. Steamed Buns (dessert): bland without sauce but even with sauce, not a stand-out item My takeaway from this first visit: - The music was a little loud making it hard to hold a conversation. The open layout made it harder with trying to talk over everyone else in the restaurant. - The service was ok. - I won't write the place off but it's not something I'd run back for. read more

Okay jingle bao.. I've only been here about 6 times, it's time for the review. I'm gonna excuse the service cause honestly the times I've gone the service has not been good. So we'll review the food lol. These are easily the best soup dumplings in Fresno and better than din tai fung. They are big and hold up well and have plenty of flavor. The spicy wontons are also very flavorful and a good amount for the price. The chocolate dumplings are a hit and if you're craving something sweet this is a good choice. Don't get the wonton soup with noodles it's bland. Get the wonton soup by itself and it has so much more flavor. The seaweed salad is also not your typical one, I wouldn't get this again. The place was clean when it first opened, but seems to look a lil dingy now. But honestly the food is always good so we keep coming back! Overall just a yes! 10/10 check it out. read more

Jingle Bao - B1. Pan Fried Juicy Pork Bun (6pcs) A1. Pork Xiao Long Bao - Chinese Near Me - Fresno, California

Service was very fast! Vast menu selection. Large dining room with quick turnover. Taiwanese scallion pancakes were flaky, thin and delicious. Would order again. The soup dumplings were good. Soupy and tasty, and came out quickly. The shrimp and pork one was more flavorful than the pork one. Popcorn chicken is cumin heavy and not too salty. I liked it but skip if you don't like cumin or lightly salted food; may need to as your own salt. String beans were well cooked and tasty; not spicy. Cucumber salad also decent. Truffle fried rice was greasy and tasted butter heavy. Delicious but definitely not healthy. Haha. Good amount of tenderly cooked beef in it. Didn't really taste truffle flavor even though there was a piece of truffle on top. read more

Jingle Bao - Spicy wonton - Chinese Near Me - Fresno, California

The staff is friendly and seats you. There is plenty of seating and a ton of food and drink options to satisfy everyone. The decor is nice and more of a modern style compared to the older dim sum restaurants around. The seating is wide open so if it were packed I think it would be pretty loud. The spicy wonton was the group's favorite even though you can see a wonton under all that greenery. The dim sum was very good as well and I really liked the cucumber salad it was refreshing especially for the Fresno heat. I will be returning to try a few other items. read more

Had JB twice more in restaurant (ALWAYS OUTSTANDING), but this time I'm here to talk about their TAKE OUT. It's phenomenal! They actually label all the dishes so you know which is which. The quality was still really good still too. The only thing missing were sauces. This time, also tried their garlic spinach, garlic green beans, fried squid balls, jajang noodles, and the angus beef truffle rice. Everything is DELISH!!! Had way too much food & ate much in separate meals & they all reheated well. Fried rice in frying pan w/cold meat put back in after was perfect. Noodles cold were grrrreat! Hot veg were so tasty! Can never get enough of their bok choy. It's special! So the lesson we learn here is JB is one of the best things to ever happen to this town!!! read more

Came here twice. Overall a 3.5 rating. First time on Mother's Day and super busy was 4 stars. Second time on a Friday night and wasn't too busy, 3 stars. This place took over Boston Market that closed not too long ago so you can see it as you get off the 41 freeway on Bullard. Depending on the day, food can be pretty good or just okay. The cost can range from $80-150 with tip depending on how much you order. Things we ordered so far: - Jingle Bao Fried Rice (very close to the traditional yung chow fried rice) 5/5 - Pork Xiao Long Bao 3.5/5 - Har Kow 5/5 - Chocolate Xiao Long Bao 5/5 - Chasui Bao 1/5 - Piggy Custard Bun 3.5/5 - Stir Fried Green Beans (perfectly cooked and flavored well) 5/5 - Beef Scallion 4/5 - Pan Fried Juicy Pork Bun 3.5/5 - Red Bean Paste Bun 4/5 Pros: plenty of seating, decent portions, decent prices, food came out fairly quick, water jugs provided with cups at tables, friendly staff, you can watch cooks/chefs work as there's a big window you can see through the kitchen area. Cons: FCFS (no reservations as of now), more attentive service as things have been forgotten along the way, bathrooms could be cleaned a bit more often. All in all, we got our fix here and not sure we'll be back anytime soon. The atmosphere can be loud but it's typical for any restaurant. Doesn't hurt to try if you're in the area! read more

Food is top notch! Reminds me of Din Tai Fung 鼎泰豐 , but cheaper. Ordered Pork Xiao Long Bao, Truffle Angus Beef Fried Rice, Pan Fried Juicy Pork Bun, and Chocolate Xiao Long Bao for dessert. Came out to around $65 without tip. Would definitely recommend the truffle angus beef fried rice, wish had more truffles though. Flavor was amazing regardless. CAUTION be careful when eating the pan fried juicy pork bun, squirts out when biting into it haha. Everything was great tasting. Pricing is worth it in my opinion for the quality of food you're getting. Service is busy, but fast. Went around peak dinner hours on a Friday. Ambiance is clean and a lot of space. Would recommend 100% and willing to try different items on the menu on my future visits. read more

This is probably my third time here and it has consistently been delicious. The service and ambiance are nice but the food is what keeps me coming back. All of the Xio Long Baos are good, spicy wontons are a must. Green beans and chow mein are easy and safe choices for those who are just trying this place out for the first time. Favorite desert has to be the golden buns it was so good! Definitely try this place if you've been curious. It gets busy so try to beat the dinner and lunch rush if possible. read more

I liked this place. New and bright with young theme for dim sum long bau type thing. Pretty expensive for what it is though. I like it but not more than imperial garden. I know they are different region mandarin etc but I just don't feel as comfortable in the new school hipster vibe than i do with the plastic covered pad chairs and lazy Susan's and mean waitresses. I think they only had plastic cups too, and when you charging more than everyone else for the same food, you can't do dishes? Where's all this plastic go afterwards? read more

Great to have a xiao long bao place in Fresno now! They have dumplings, fried rice, noodles. Lots of options to choose from. They also started having lunch specials on the weekdays. The xiao long baos, scallion pancake, beef noodle soup, Shanghai noodles and fried rice were all good. Cucumber salad was good sized portion and the sesame balls were fresh. Restaurant is decent sized and open with lots of tables. Staff are friendly but service is kind of hit or miss. During two of our visits, items were missing from our order and the server didn't realize. We had to flag them down and ask. A dish from another table was also brought to our table. read more

Solid spot for some dumplings. Nothing too crazy, but definitely like the soup dumplings. Service was fine. Parking was a little difficult because I believe they share parking lot with some other businesses, but overall definitely worth a shot if you're in the mood for some dumplings. read more

We had originally went to dumpling u but the wait was too long ( about 45 min), so we drove to jingle bao. The wait at jingle bao was about 20 min. This restaurant has not been remodeled very much from what it was before. I don't know what restaurant it was before. They seat and bring you water right away. The menu selection isnt huge but everything is made fresh !! They have xiao long bao, spicy dumpling, fried rice, and some sides. We got the fried spinach, xiao long bao, spicy red oil dumpling, and wagyu fried rice. Total was about $80. The wagyu fried rice was super delicious!!! The beef was very soft and the fried rice was so yummy. The xiao long bao was also really good, plenty of hot soup in each XLB. I also really enjoyed the pan fried spinach. The restaurant was really crowded and it was nice to see everyone enjoying the food. I would definitely come here again!! Service was friendly and food came out very fast. read more

I was super excited to try this place after seeing it all over social media. We arrived right at 11 am opening and the restaurant quickly filled up. The space is open and bright and offers table seating. On each table there water cups and water, as well as, soy sauce, chili oil and dumpling sauce. Our server was very attentive and prompt so no complaints there. We ordered the Uncle Fried Rice. It was okay, just a little soggy for my preference but it was a generous portion. The stir fry green beans were the best part of our visit. They were so flavorful! The spicy wontons were decent. I didn't care for the sauce but the wontons themselves were good. The har gow were so bad! Almost inedible. My sister described them as just being mush. And I could not get over the overpowering fishy taste. They were not good at all. I don't know that I could justify returning for the price. read more

I've been wanting to try Jingle Bao since before it even opened and finally made it in after they took over the old Boston Market spot. First off, props to whoever designed their logo, it was a clever way to work with the old signage and it looks super cute! We got there around 7pm on a Saturday, and it seemed like everyone in Fresno had the same idea. I signed in at the kiosk and we were 20 groups deep on the waitlist. After about an hour, we were seated, though they did have a sign up saying takeout orders only since they close at 9pm (this was about 7:30ish). Despite the craziness, the staff really impressed me. They were hustling to keep up with all the tables and to-go orders, but they stayed attentive and made sure we didn't go without anything. The food came out quickly, and we never felt ignored, which was a huge plus considering how packed they were. For the food, we ordered a mix of dishes, starting with the stir-fried green beans, although very delicious, they were a bit greasy. Everyone seemed to enjoy them though and even wished we'd ordered a second serving. The fried golden buns with condensed milk were something I didn't try because I was too full by the time they came out, but the rest of the table seemed to enjoy those also. The pork xiao long bao (both regular and spicy) were *chef's kiss*. They were fresh, hot and the wrapper to filling ratio was spot on. The seasoning was perfect, I'd definitely order these again. The spicy wontons, which the staff recommended, were flavorful and spicy, exactly what I was hoping for. I would love to try the wonton soup next time, but the wontons were so good I didn't mind. The pan fried juicy pork buns were another surprise. I didn't expect to like them as much as I did, but they were delicious. Just be careful when you bite into them, they live up to the "juicy" name, so they're pretty hot. The scallion pancakes were a standout too, crispy and flaky just the way I like them and I would definitely order those again. As for the garlic noodles, they weren't my favorite. They were a bit greasy and lacked flavor, so I'd probably rate them a 3/5, but with so many other great dishes, it didn't take away from the meal. Finally, the har gow came out last and they were fresh and hot, just like the rest of the dumplings. Overall, I'm definitely planning to return to Jingle Bao, though I'll aim for a less crowded time since the wait was pretty long. Despite the wait, the staff's service was excellent and they really made the experience enjoyable. Looking forward to trying more next time! read more

I went back to Jingle Bao to try something different, and I'm still feeling a little middle-of-the-road about it. This time I ordered the beer noodle soup. I'm personally a fan of thin, bouncy, slurpable noodles that the broth really clings to. These were thicker noodles than I prefer. The broth also is oddly sweet, and I was hoping for something more savory with a little spice and depth. The green beans are still a standout for me, consistently flavorful and well cooked. The chicken dumplings were tasty, but the wonton wrapper felt a bit thick, which took away from that delicate bite I love in a good dumpling. There are still a couple things on the menu I want to try, so I'm not giving up just yet. Maybe the third visit will be the one that fully wins me over. read more
