I've been here a few times and every single time the owners are REALLY nice and attentive. The chili wontons are good and the garlic noddles are SO YUMMY. Try the Hong Kong chow mein too! 10/10 recommend. read more

Go to Lin Dumpling now! Their XLB are DELICIOUS, super thin skin with lots of meat. We all thought they were better than Tasty Dumpling. Pork chive dumplings were also very solid, especially with their home made chili sauce. The standout dish was the Sichuan water boiled beef, which they called Spicy Chili Broth. It's authentic and amazing. There were sliced potatoes, Napa cabbage, broccoli, and zucchini inside. Not too salty with great depth of flavor. Others at the restaurant had the fish version which also looked great. But beware, it is SPICY. They've been open one week, and we will definitely be back. They will be our go to dumpling place and we are looking forward to trying their noodle dishes next time. The servers were two young guys, looked like one the son of the chef, and the mom was giving them tips on how to be attentive to customers. Take it easy on them, they're still learning. read more

Love the spot as well as the family owner/operators. Definitely has become one of our to go spots in the neighborhood. The food is very authentic, fresh and tasty! read more

Put a little shrimp into the wonton in the hot chili oil, a little more oil less the chili flakes and make it taste like Hong Kong style flavors, chow fun too salty. Decent price that's all it has going for this tight little place. Nothing Shanghainese nor Hong Kong style. 100% honest review. read more

Stopped by on a visit to East Sac. Great dumplings and customer service- I enjoyed my order.

Great food and great service I'm glad this is close to my house. Garlic noodles are a hit so is the chili oil dumplings,hongkong style noodles and the salt and pepper spareribs. read more

Looking for something quick in the middle of an errand, found this place and so glad I did. Planned on dumpling takeout but everything looked and smelled so good decided to add salt and pepper tofu and broccoli to our order. Had the pork soup dumplings fresh and they were excellent -- and the rest takeout about 30 minutes later -- and even after that amount of time, everything was just delicious. This, and the helpful and efficient staff guarantees we will be back. read more

OMGGGG SO INCREDIBLY YUMMY!!!!! And cooked to perfectio!!!! We are visiting from San Diego and came 3 days ago and couldn't wait to return! The service is insane - so sweet and so kind!!!! And the food blew our socks off!!!! We will be back ASAP!!! read more

Ok, so I've been to this place 3 times now and I still love it. Portions are good and the food is awesome. Service is good too. We went in with a party of 8 and they easily accommodated us. I really hope this place does well. You can see how hard working they are. read more

I tried this new joint that's been open for a month called Lin dumpling coming in the service was absolutely friendly and very nice. The dishes that I had were beef chow mein with thin style noodle that I asked for along with walnut shrimp, sautéed eggplant, sweet-and-sour style, black pepper dumplings, pickled radish, sautéed salt, pepper, spareribs, wonton in chili oil, pork, soup dumplings,and har gow which is a shrimp stuffed dumpling this place was phenomenal. The food are generous portions and if I had to come back here, I'm very pleased to say that the sautéed eggplant sweet-and-sour was the best I've ever had anywhere the pickled radishes surprised me it kind of tastes like a cucumber salad style dish, but it was really good and the pork dumplings were delicious too. I'd come here again and again and again. read more

First time I was really impressed, second time craving more! The food is great and the staff is wonderful as well, friendly and efficient. Both time I got the generals chicken, it was lightly breaded with good hefty chunks of chicken. I also got the chili wontons and the soup dumplings were both soft, fresh and full of flavor. read more

My husband and I checked out this place today and really enjoyed it. We ordered the hot and sour soup (a large bowl for $10.95) and the HK-style chow mein ($12.95) with chicken added ($4 add). Both dishes were excellent, generously portioned, and the service was great. We live nearby and are thrilled to have such a good new spot so close to home. We stopped in around 3 p.m. for a very late lunch and were the only ones there at the time. Looking forward to coming back. read more

Tried this small restaurant and loved it! Huge portions had us taking lots home. We ordered the garlic noodles with beef and will be ordering this again and again. We also ordered the dumplings that are fried on the bottom--yum! We had not seen or tasted these before and they were great. The shell is part crispy and was not like the usual won ton skin. We also ordered the orange chicken and it was all white meat. This is a nice addition to the area and we'll be back. The service was great and they were busy with lots of take out orders as well as sit in customers so I know they are going to be a hit. read more

We had another dumpling restaurant selected, hpw ever they closed 3PM to 4PM so we pivoted and came here and I sure am glad we did. There was 5 of us and we literally ordered half the menu. It was so much food the waiter asked us 3 times if we realized how much food we ordered, we said yes. He went back to the kitchen and they laughed at us. The food came out very quickly and everything we got was good or excellent. I think we had 18 different dishes. All the food was fresh and quality. The service was wonderful as well. My only complaint was it was hot in the restaurant. It's a 2 and a half hour drive for and I will definitely make it again read more

Food was excellent!!! Service was friendly and the restaurant is very clean. Ample parking available in back. Great vibe! Great food!

Real good authentic Chinese spot that was very much needed in east Sacramento. Highly recommended.

It's a small place, but the staff are very accommodating. We came in with a group of 9 and they had no problem setting up a table for us. The food was absolutely delicious, and it came out quickly. Considering we ordered one of everything it was impressive how fast we received the food. Also we came on Valentine's day so it was great that they weren't crowded. read more

Lovely owners/staff, generous portions of great dumplings and noodles. A wonderful addition to the neighborhood!

I lived in China for 7 years, and I've been craving food like this since I got back to the States. Everything is handmade-- the noodles, the pickled radish, everything the chili sauce! We got wonton noodle soup, and the wonton filling was soooo meaty and tasty. Soup dumplings were fresh with delicious savory broth. Lastly, we split a shrimp fried rice. The portions were SO generous, that this will also be next day's lunch. We will for sure return and try more things on the menu!!!!!!!! read more

So happy this place opened! Ordered out twice already and both times the food was absolutely delicious!! The soup dumplings are so flavorful and cooked perfectly! I've been on the hunt for good salt and pepper spareribs and these hit all my boxes! Great spice on them and never overcooked :) Thank you guys so much! read more

Super authentic, fresh, hot and delicious. Made to order. Took a while but was well worth the wait. We'll be back!!

The first l time I came here I was very amazed by how the chef cooks right in front of you!! You can truly tell the amount of love and passion the chef had! Their food is fresh and hot! And everything is made to order I knew right away I was returning customer. The cherry on top is how excellent their customer service is. Seriously so hospitable ! I just visit my second recently. And their food is amazing. I wish more people can come here so they can continue to provide such delicious food . Please support local businesses ! read more

The food is top-notch. Service is very fast and efficient. It's very hole in the wall, but whoever is behind the stove knows what they're doing. read more

The fish is clearly pre-made, tasted stale. Worst was hygiene: steamers had mold, and I saw dropped dumplings picked up from the floor and served. Unacceptable and unsafe. read more

I've passed this restaurant many times thinking "another dumpling place". I was reluctant to try it until I read the menu on Yelp. I now have a new appreciation for dumpling houses, especially family owned businesses. They are the evolution of Chinese restaurants for Gen Z. Dumplings are sort of a Chinese fast food. I went here and saw teenagers at a table sharing photos of their food on social media. I tried the beef chow fun to go. It was authentic and tasty, and a generous portion. Perhaps enough to feed two adults and a child. Service was good as they are a husband & wife team. The cook handed me my order with a smile. Nice touch. This use to be a Subway so ambiance is just OK. Everything is cooked fresh, not warmed.. Millenials can join the Gen Z's add this place to their easy take out dinner. I'll still go to typical Asian restaurants, but this location being minutes from home will sure to be a favorite for quick and easy food. read more

No sign on establishment. Server, cook did not speak English. Food was very bad. Not authentic dumpling or chow fun. We would never go back. read more

Customer service was 11/10 - they were super attentive and food came out fresh to order. Ordered the dry beef chow fun, salt and pepper ribs, and wonton noodle soup - the portions were huge and everything tasted really good! It was super empty when we came during soft opening so we waited about 5 minutes for everything to come out. Will be coming back :) read more

A great addition to the neighborhood. Seating is available but limited. Everything is so fresh and flavorful. I hit it twice in one week. Nice family owned. read more

We ordered the HK chow mein, soup dumplings, salt & pepper tofu and sautéd eggplant. Everything was fresh and delicious!

Best General Chicken I've ever had!! Good food All the way Around!! They got what you've been looking for!

First time going. Wonderful dumplings of many types. But get the pickled radish which are homemade and amazing. Gravy chow fun was perfectly seasoned with good beef, soft and tender. Process are very reasonable and portions are large. Really friendly husband and wife owners. I am Chinese and have been to all parts of China and Taiwan. This place is on par! Try it! read more

So worth the drive. We sampled most of the dumplings. Amazing. Soup dumplings definitely worth the experience. Hot and sour and wonton soups were great as well. We will be back. read more

The dumplings are amazing, the soup is really good. My mom loved the eggplant dish. The servings are big.

Delicious food! What a find! The portions are huge. We ordered the pork soup dumplings, black pepper beef dumplings, bbq pork fried rice and general Tso's chicken. The chicken was the best we've ever had. All were good - beef dumplings were our least favorite but still good. Very friendly people. read more

A friend and I ate here for the first time today, for lunch, after seeing the signs announcing its opening for some weeks. We were both glad we did. We ordered the beef brisket noodle and honey walnut shrimp and thought both were excellent. The owners are friendly and accommodating; the pleasant premises are larger than seems possible from the outside. A very welcome addition to the neighborhood! read more

I had the shrimp ball soup with noodles very good. We ordered 2 different types of dumplings sorry I cannot recall which ones but both very good. My wife ordered the garlic shrimp with noodles. Very very good. Best noodles I have ever had. Yumm. And the pork bow. All in all the food was very good and fresh. The service was quick with a smile. A few things of note the floor under a lot of the tables could be swept. Crumbs and food under tables are never a great site when eating. Other than that we will definitely be coming back to try some different items. read more

Outstanding hot and sour soup & soup dumplings & har gow. High quality deliciousness. WOW! We will def be back.
