The mother and daughter are both nice and very welcoming. The oxtail soup had tender pieces. Wonder if we can add more meat for an extra charge. The wonton soup was good. The soupy, crispy bottom buns were my favorite! ALWAYS eat them right away!!! Burned my mouth a couple of times, but I didn't want the soup to soak into the bun bottom and make it soggy. read more

We came on a Sunday right when they opened - clean and nice restaurant located in the heart of Sugarland. This plaza has been existent since I could remember but this restaurant is new. They have a scan and order system through phone or you can have the waiter take your order. We were greeted, sat, and given water immediately - ordered through the website. Food came within 15-20 minutes! Delicious!!! Pan Fried Bao's are a must try - crisp at the bottom and soft and juicy, with soup on the inside! The xiao long bao's were also really good - soup & the filling was proportional. The beef rolls were ok - have had better. I am comparing to dough zone & steam dumpling. read more

When I sat down at the place, I overheard someone in the neighboring table tell their friend " this place is even better than Dumpling World". I have not been to Dumpling World, so I can't directly compare, but the xiaolong bao here were certainly made to perfection. It was served to the table steaming hot, and each one was juicy and flavorful. The skin was thin and mighty as it held the weight of the juice and meat as I moved the xiaolong between plates and lightly poked it with my chopsticks. Aside from the xiaolong, I ordered a beef roll, which contained good portions of meat in a nice chewy wrap but would've been better with a crispier outside. I also admired the hand made noodles that were served to the neighboring table and look forward to trying it the next time I'm back. From conversations with the restaurant staff, I learned that their food is 陕西 (Shanxi) inspired, and their region in China is known for great noodles and dumplings. It appears to be a family owned restaurant, and I love the small space that they've transformed to deliver authentic Shanxi cuisine. If you, like me, appreciate family owned restaurant and love supporting local businesses, I'd highly recommend you give this place a visit as well. Pro tip: if you would like to enjoy the delectable dumplings at home, this place also sells freshly made frozen dumplings that can be steamed or cooked at home for a lazy meal. read more

The staff were super friendly and took great care of us! I recommend getting the xlb and the beef rolls, those both were solid options- the soup was savory and comforting inside the xiao long bao & the beef rolls were stuffed with beef. We got a couple more items and all were pretty solid. Definitely a great and authentic spot for dumplings in sugar land! read more

Li's Potstickers is a relatively new addition to this area that gives mom and pop vibes. I guess XLB is trending right now because everyone's serving them. Service was relatively quick and the food was yummy. My only gripe was that the bowl of oxtail radish soup hardly had any oxtail in it and was small(er), in my opinion, for the price! The chicken cutlet with cabbage was SO good! read more

Wow I am impressed! This is a new restaurant in Sugar Land and there serve authentic Northern Chinese restaurant. They have a wide variety of options to choose from. All the items are hand made including the noodles. It's has an amazing texture you can only get from hand making the food. It reminds me of grand mother cooking. I order green onion pancake, dumplings, steam dumplings, beef noodle soup, soupy pancakes fried pork buns, and traditional chili oil noodles. The soup buns were amazing. It wasn't too oily and it was filled with soup and is perfect. Everything is amazing but we reordered the traditional chili noodles cause it was amazing. The restaurant is a very cute mom and pop shop. The service was great and it was very quick. We scan the qr code on the table and then order the food. The staff are nice and friendly. Definitely will return and introduce my friends to come here. read more

I stopped by here on my visit back to houston this weekend for lunch and was once again extremely impressed by the dumplings and buns. I had eaten here a few months back and was always meaning to review it, but after having another amazing experience, I made sure to review it as soon as I got home. My grandma and I ordered the soupy pan fried pork buns, pork and cabbage snowflake pot stickers, steamed pork and shrimp dumplings, and pork soup dumplings. Soupy pan fried pork buns (5+/5): This is by far my favorite item they have here. It comes with 6 buns total, each the size of a tennis ball. The bun is super soft and not too thick, just thick enough to hold the pork filling and broth without tearing. The base is really crispy and pan fried perfectly, adding a very nice texture to the buns. The meat filling is juicy and seasoned well without tasting oily, like a perfect home-made dumpling filling. Many times when I eat dumplings/buns elsewhere the filling tends to be a bit blander, but that is not the case here. Lastly, there is a ton of broth inside the buns, similar to a large bun version of a soup dumpling. Stellar item and must get. Pork and chinese cabbage snowflake pot stickers (5/5): The best pot sticker in Houston. There is a ton of crispy batter that remains light and crispy throughout the meal. At the same time, the dumplings themselves burst with juice on each bite. It's amazing how juicy every dumpling/bun is here, I have no clue how they even make the regular steamed dumplings/pot stickers that moist. The pork filling is meaty and the chinese cabbage slightly crunchy. Lastly, they got the skin thickness right on both this and the steamed dumpling, just thick enough to hold the juice without breaking. Steamed pork and shrimp dumplings (4.5/5): A great dumpling as well, this is your classic steamed dumpling with pork and shrimp filling. Apart from being steamed instead of pan fried with a crispy batter, these dumplings have all the great qualities of the snowflake pot stickers. They have ideal skin thickness, tender yet bouncy filling with great pork and shrimp flavor, and a good amount of juiciness as well. Pork soup dumplings (4/5): Like the other items, the pork soup dumpling has a great flavorful filling and a solid amount of soup inside. I had soup dumpling twice at taipei including DTF and although the skin was thicker than DTF, it definitely was better than the place I waited in line for 45 minutes for. The skin may have been slightly thicker but everything else about it was excellent and as expected, no tears in any of the dumplings. Overall, I have no idea why when I went for lunch there was only one other table eating. With food of this quality, I would have expected the place to be filled to the brim. Service was solid, and the pricing is great with each item being about $12-13 tops. I will definitely come again when back in town. A definite 5/5. read more

Love this place! We came on a Monday evening and were the only ones in the restaurant, but everything was delicious: ordered xiao long bao, beef noodle soup, pork noodle soup, and the cucumber salad. You order off of the QR menu and everything came out quickly. Service was good too they refilled my water quickly and answered my questions about the food. The hand pulled noodles were delicious! Restaurant was clean too, will def be back! read more

Li's Potstickers is a new dumpling restaurant that replaces Fen. They are currently in their soft opening phase. I had difficulty looking for the restaurant as their restaurant sign has not been put up yet. The restaurant is located beside Coco's by the way. The restaurant is small and clean. I love the clean decor and the colors in the restaurant. I came for the pork xiao long bao so of course I had to try that. The wrapper to filling ratio for the xiao long bao was good. The wrapper was thin too, and there was a good amount of soup in each xiao long bao. However the xiao long bao lacked in flavor and depth in the soup. Ginger wasn't served with the xiao long bao which was unusual. I also had the pork and shrimp snow flake pot stickers. Same as the xiao long bao, the filling in the pot stickers lacked flavor. The pot stickers were also swimming in oil when served to me. That didn't look appetizing. I had the hot noodles with sesame paste which had no meat in it. It was ok. The color of the noodles looked very different from the poster's. I ended my meal with sweet sesame balls. They had red bean filling in them, my favorite. They tasted frozen store bought instead of homemade. Overall I am disappointed with the food flavor. read more

I'm blown away. Sugar Land is becoming a gold mine for excellent dumplings. Li's is finger lickin', ass kickin', potstickin' goodness. From their snowflake potstickers to their noodle dishes, every dish I've tried has been 5 stars. My favorite dishes so far are the sliced beef appetizer (thinly sliced cold beef in Szechuan sauce), snowflake potstickers (perfectly executed with the crispiest "skirt"), and the minced pork noodles (closest thing to my favorite noodles from the dearly departed Xiong's). The only thing I haven't loved from there is their beef noodle soup, which I found a bit salty. Honestly, the soup would have been great if a little less salty, and I loved the top tier to-go package it's served in. At this point, Li's Potstickers is hazardous to my waistline. I could eat there several times a week... er... actually I have. Since discovering Li's, I've prepared my husband for the impending future as I transform from a midsized wife to part-time sumo wrestler, all with the help of Li's Potstickers. read more

So good! My parents really enjoyed this place and wanted to keep ordering. Love this family run establishment. Would definitely be back!

Enjoyed our meal here! Would definitely come back. All of our items were good: - pork soup dumpling/xiao long bao - pork pan fried bun (has some juice inside) - snowflake pan fried dumpling - beef noodle soup read more

I stopped by on a Saturday for lunch and there was no wait and a few customers dining in. I got their snowflake dumplings which was very good and their fried bao was also very flavorful. The pork intestine wasn't bad either. It's a mom and pop place and it did not disappoint. They always came by to check on us and refilled our water. It's a great place to eat at if you crave dumplings!! read more

out of all the dumpling houses in sugar land, this is undoubtedly my favorite. im gonna preface by saying that i dont even like dumplings, potstickers, buns, etc., but lo and behold, i devoured everything we ordered. the xiao long baos were SOO incredibly tender, the skin having just the right amount of thickness, the broth packed with umami. their potstickers were amazing too, crispy but not oily, the filling just as juicy and flavorful. however, what blew me away were the pan fried buns AHHHH. the dough on the top was so fluffy like cloud bread! the generous pork filling was once again so soft and juicy, and there was a considerable amount of soup in the bun. then you get to the bottom of the bun, which is so perfectly crispy. you get the fluffy top, the savory filling, and the crunchy bottom all in one heavenly bite! its truly impressive how they manage to balance everything, but i thoroughly enjoyed this meal and never thought i would love this kind of cuisine so much. read more

TLDR: Some slight shortcomings have this place on the border of true greatness. Worth trying for sure, but with a few minor tweaks, this place could blow up as the go to spot in Sugar Land for what they offer. Visit: Weekday (lunch) Order: Potstickers- 7.8/10 They absolutely nailed the crispy edges and presentation. However the filling bordered on bland and dry. With a little extra fat or better blending of the meat, this could easily be a 9+. Soup Dumplings- 7.2/10 The dumpling wrappers themselves were pleasantly thin and the soup was flavorful. However, the filling was below standard as it had a weirdly grainy, off putting dry texture. With a few changes, this too could be rated much higher. Came in for lunch and was one of two tables at the time. Service started off cold/robotic, but by the end was a bit more welcoming. After ordering the meal, I was given a complimentary lemonade (that should have been a little sweeter IMO) and some pickled veggies. When the dishes arrive, I would say that it got the job done, but could have been better if the details were focused on. In particular, the potstickers had perfectly executed crispy edges, but the filling was rather bland and on the dry side. In addition, the soup dumpling had a nice thin wrapper and satisfying amount of soup, but was offset by the tough/grainy filling that was very much underwhelming. read more

I came here for the first time with my mother-in-law and husband after I saw that Fen was no longer there. The restaurant reuses the same interior as Fen, including many of the same interior posters as Fen with the Fen logo. The service was pretty good. The restaurant now features full table service, while previous management required customers to order at a kiosk or online via the Chowbus system. The waitress came by frequently to refill water, as well. The biggest downside was the lack of physical menus. Given that Sugar Land has an older Asian community of retirees, solely relying on the QR-code based menu was frustrating for my mother-in-law, and the Chowbus platform for the menu isn't particularly user friendly (excruciatingly small lettering when looking at the digital menu). Some of the original menu items have been retained from Fen, although they're using different (and better recipes) than the previous owners. Additionally, the menu has been substantially expanded to focus heavily on soup dumplings, boiled dumplings, and potstickers, as well as common Taiwanese appetizers such as beef wraps and green onion pancakes. Overall, I was pretty satisfied with the food. We ordered a dry pork noodle dish, xiao long bao, potstickers, beef wraps, and green onion pancakes. The green onion pancakes were fairly typical and weren't particularly flaky or fresh-feeling. The noodle dish was substantially better than when the restaurant was Fen, although it wasn't really my cup of tea. However, the xiao long bao and potstickers were incredibly flavorful and juicy without being overpowering or MSG-packed. I also enjoyed the beef wrap, although it would have benefited from some picked mustard greens and more of the lettuce stem for extra crunch. Overall, I would still probably come back. We all enjoyed the food and felt the portion sizes were reasonable for the price. read more

Just a quick review on the food, we got the pork xiao long bao, pork Chinese cabbage snow flake pot stickers and the fried pork intestine. The pot stickers are a little small but the xiao long bao were stellar. The fried pork intestine was stellar too, similar to a crispy Peking duck's skin if you know what that tastes like! Would recommend and would come again. (Bonus points from me, they played a Daniel Caesar playlist, one of my favorite artists.) read more

This place was so incredible! The noodles are hand made and have a bouncy and chewy texture and the meat in the noodles were so tender.

Food is always fresh, hot, and delicious. Service is prompt. Would recommend to support this small business.

Wanted to stop by and try this place out as it is fairly new. We came on a friday evening. The food is tasty and this place has potential but it's very understaffed.. Unfortunately, not everyone had as much patience as us and ended up leaving shortly after they sat down. It is quite a small space, humble decor. Smashed cucumbers were standard but definitely needed more seasoning. We also got the beef roll that's not pictured, savory and weet, overall very balanced flavor. Dumplings were seasoned well, juicy, and wrapper was thin. The noodles was my personal favorite, aromatic and nice chew factor. We would come back but maybe in a few months when they get more help both in the kitchen and up front. read more

Li’s Potstickers - Dry chili noodles, smashed cucumbers, steam and pan fried snowflake dumplings - Noodles Near Me - Sugar Land, Texas

New potstickers restaurant in town! Definitely worth a try! The service and environment were excellent. The decoration is authentically Chinese, with red paint and food posters creating a vibrant atmosphere. Must try: 1. Snowflake Potstickers These come with three kinds of meat fillings to choose from. Pick your favorite; they're all amazing. The crispy flakes add a next-level taste, and you can tell the meat filling is very fresh with green chives. 2. Soupy Pan-Fried Pork Bun Be careful when you bite into it; there's a lot of delicious soup inside, not greasy type. The bun is crispy at the bottom and soft on top, handmade every day in the kitchen! Recommending sprinkle some green onions on the top! 3. Noodles We ordered the beef noodles and the sesame noodles, and they took me right back to China! The sesame noodles taste just like those in Wuhan, China (the owner is from Wuhan). The portions might be a bit small for some who are really hungry, but the flavors are outstanding. You can ask for extra spice if you like it hot. Overall : 9/10 read more
