Three steps to happiness: 1.) Choose your base - (Pink) Rice, salad, or noodles 2.) Choose your dumplings - Pork, veggie, chicken, or shrimp 3.) Choose your sauce - Kewpie, yuzu soy sauce, or Sriracha Sitting pretty in the historic Roosevelt Row district is the Instagram-worthy Lovesack Dumpling. It's a cute dumpling stand where five dumplings will cost you $12 with the option of paying $3 more to get an addition of five dumplings. You can mix your base, dumplings, and sauce. I recommend the fragrant pink rice with some pork dumplings and all three sauces. The shrimp dumplings are pale and lacked flavor, so I'd pass on shrimp if I were to come again. The meat to wrapper ratio also isn't the best. The food is served at room temperature, so if you're expecting some hot comfort food, this won't be for you. There's very limited outdoor seating, so expect to take your to-go box home. It's a great Instagrammable place. While decent, I would not be in a rush to come back. It's not a place I'd tell people that they had to try while in Roosevelt Row, but hey, support local! read more

Really, this is a 5 in concept but a 3.5 star overall. I love a great dumpling. On a recent trip abroad I broke my number one travel rule - never eat at the same place twice. But we'd stumbled upon a dumpling (gyoza) shop. I immediately said I need one of these near work. I'd eat dumplings 2-3 times a week! So back to Lovebite...the packaging is magic. Very cute. Your pack of chopsticks forms the handle for your little box of Lovebite. I got pork dumplings over noodles with the yuzu soy dipping sauce. The sauce was awesome! The dumplings were flavorful and five was the exact right number to serve with the noodles. They could kick it up to another level if they made the dumplings in-house. I think these were standard food-service pre-made. I'd have generously given four or five stars if they were house made. The noodles were a great texture and had some seasoning and flavor. They just lacked something. Maybe onion flavor? If they cooked the noodle with more green or white onion and maybe a little togarashi for some spicy notes, they'd really hit a home run. I'll be back, Lovebite! Love the concept. Hope to try more combos in the near future. read more

I have been meaning to try this place for a long time, and I was so happy I finally got to it. This place is perfect! The location makes it for a great stop at the end of your night in downtown phx. I got the veggie dumplings with half rice and half noodles. It was delicious! The sauces that came on top were great and everything was flavorful. One think I will say is I wish the food was a little hotter, although because we ate it outside right away that wasn't a huge issue. The ladies helping us on Saturday night were so friendly and amazing. I very much recommend this place! read more

Stopped by for a late lunch on Friday and there was a party of three ahead of us. We heard the employee explain to them how the process worked so when it was our turn we knew how to order. It's very easy and there is literally just three steps when picking what you want. I ordered half noodles / half rice and I got three pork and 2 chicken dumplings with soy sauce and siracha. My sister had the half rice / half noodles as well and she got one veggie, two pork, and two chicken with all three sauces (soy, kewpie, and siracha). We also bought a Poppi drink and our total was about $38 - with a tip. We sat down outside as they had a few tables with an umbrella set up. The tables were dirty and had not been cleaned so we did our best to wipe ours off. It was time for the best part - time to eat. I opened my cute little box and quickly noticed that the dumplings were mixed together so I had no idea which was which. Both the pork and chicken looked and tasted the same.... and they tasted really good!!! The inside mixture was great as it was very flavorful and not dry. My sisters veggie dumpling was also delicious and the inside mixture was really good. The dumplings were unfortunately not hot though and they were barely lukewarm. This also went for the rice and noodles. Nothing was hot and my food got cold really quick.... The employee was very nice and friendly and she had a very approachable vibe. Overall, this place is super cute and I enjoyed the colors, logos, and atmosphere. Prices are reasonable for the area and the service was great but just wish the food would've been hot. read more

I appreciate what they are trying to do here. A group and their family coming together to create a food location that is affordable, healthy, and filling. The concept is thoughtful and as a new business, they are clearly soaring. A party of 6 came to this location and have found that the line can go crazy long! This must be the help from social media, news, and word-of-mouth. The line was moving pretty slow and hopefully something to address in the future. The staff were very friendly during our interactions and they were apologetic of the wait. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners and the parents who were enjoyable to conversation with. Because of the long wait we even got free drinks! A nice gesture and very appreciative. The food was a bit of a letdown. They were out of noodles and only had rice and salad leftover. The rice was a mixture of overcooked and undercooked rice, but also tasted bland. It is infused with coconut milk, lemongrass, and dragonfruit but we did not taste any of that. I wish they gave more dumplings with every order because the ratio is not enough with the base. The dumplings tasted good, but you can tell it is not made in-house and frozen. This is a great concept, and the price is affordable. A lot of areas for improvement and with the right changes I can see this growing even more. read more

Very delicious and a great spot! I have been meaning to try for a while and I am so glad I did. I love the mix and match concept which allows to try a little bit of everything. The dumplings, rice, noodles, and sauces are flavorful, simple, yet unique. Quick service too! read more

This place is so cute and you can tell the owners had such a vision when opening it. I love the outdoor tables you can sit at however I do see that being a challenge in the summer. The service was quick and the team working was extremely friendly and efficient. The food was not impressive. The price point is amazing but the quality is not there in my opinion. The rice and noodles were bland and the dumplings maybe a little notch above the ones you'd get in the freezer section. Maybe it was an off day I just was not impressed overall. read more

If LoveBite wasn't such an already great name, I might suggest they change their name to "Damn Good Dumplings" because let me tell you, these were some damn good dumplings. The texture and flavors were perfect. The dumplings were beautiful. The pink rice was such a fun touch. The sauce and spice an amazing compliment to the already great flavors. True to their name, I loved every bite. Also, the branding and box truly deserve some love. That packaging and presentation was top tier. So happy to have found this place. It's one of those spots you want to share with people because you know they'll love it. I will definitely be filling my mouth with more of these lovely little bites in the near future! read more

Lovebite Dumplings - Chicken dumplings with Sriracha and kewpie. - Dim Sum Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Cool branding and very friendly, personable staff. Theres only some outdoor seating as this is more aimed as a to-go concept. It's located on the historic Roosevelt Row so be mindful of (paid) parking. The interior is aesthetic. It's small, inviting ,and straightforward. You get to start with a base of veggies, dragon fruit infused noodles, and coconut purple/pink rice. Next you choose 5 dumplings from pork, shrimp, chicken, and veggie. Then finish off with sriracha, kewpie Mayo, and yuzu soy. When I ordered noodles with pork and shrimp dumplings I think they were okay. Flavor is so-so and I decided I was unable to continue finishing the noodles. Realistically I believe these are marketed more for "Western palates" as they aren't authentic. But that doesn't necessarily mean they're not good. There could be an improvement in flavor, texture, and overall culture lol Just expect the obvious. I went during their soft opening so I understand they are still working and developing. Love their branding and their friendly employees! read more

I'm mad at myself for not trying this place sooner. The kewpie sauce is actually to die for. I got all pork dumplings and they were very yummy. You can do a half and half base so I got half greens and half noodles which was perfect. I want to try the pink rice next time. Staff was very kind and seating is limited but it's more a grab and go place anyways. Will be back for sure!! read more

Lovesack (ñame subject to change as the jerks at Lovesac think it's too close to their name and suing) Dumplings was incredible. Quick service. The dumplings tasted great. There's no seating inside, as it's a quick grab and go spot, but they had some seating setup outside. We loved it. Saw it on Instagram so decided to try. Met the owners parents outside. Very nice people, and got the story of the name situation! Too crazy. Hopefully they come up with a new name and stick around for the foreseeable future because their food is too good! read more

Lovebite Dumplings - Half noodles half greens with 2 chicken 2 pork 1 shrimp dumpling and all three sauces! - Dim Sum Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Came on a Monday at noon after the soft opening and luckily there was no line! I opted to try all the dumpling flavors plus an extra chicken. For the base- I chose rice. I was a little disappointed that they ran out of noodles being that it was only noon. I was recommended the yuzu sauce for the rice so I went with that with a little sriracha The amount of rice is super generous and I would have loved a little more flavoring to the dumplings- perhaps more sauce on the dumplings or extra sauce on the side Customer service was excellent and they have a great variety of drink options! Would love to come back and try the dumplings with noodles read more

The food is absolutely amazing and I love the pink rice!!! I have always had an amazing experience here and even better food.

In general, I like the overall concept and simplicity! You choose your base, what types of dumplings you want, and then finally your choice of dipping sauces. The noodles and rice are infused with dragon fruit, which gives them an interesting a unique pink color, however, I didn't taste any hint of dragon fruit so it might just be for coloring purposes? Unfortunately, I found the noodles to lack any flavor at all, but the dumplings were decent. The food was served at room temperature, so I wish the food was hotter since it tasted like the noodles and dumplings had been sitting for a while now. Again, I like the overall concept and packaging but was a bit disappointed by the overall flavors (or lack there of). read more

Lovebite Dumplings - Shrimp & Pork Dumplings (with a noodle base) - Dim Sum Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Friend hyped this place up. I dont know if its because I am Asian who grew up eating lot of Asian food, but these dumplings are cheap gyozas you can buy at H Mart or any asian market in a frozen section while their noodles look like cheap yakisoba where you can buy from costco in the frozen section. To pay $14 for 6 small gyozas, dyed rice, and cheap microwaved yakisoba noodles, not worth it. This is equivalent to if other country were to market American food and go heat up some dino nuggets or totino pizza rolls and put some condiments over it along with microwaved mash potatoes. Their whole business seems to prioritize promoting the business solely based on being woman-owned rather than promoting business through quality of food. I do not care if a business is owned by a man, woman, alien, etc. I do not care if the business is locally owned or out of state transplant owning a business. All I care about is quality of food. And it was extremely below my expectations. I would not recommend this place. read more

I ordered the build your own box and got a variety of veggie, chicken and shrimp. The veggie and chicken were my favorite! We ordered takeout but noticed the food wasn't as warm as we hoped it would be. Not a problem after putting it in the microwave! The service is fast and friendly. Parking can be tricky but once you get into the lot there's plenty of space! read more

Saw this place on social media and my friend and I decided to stop by. The inside is quite small and there isn't any seating except for a table outside. But the person who helped us was extremely nice and explained everything to us. I got both the rice and noodles with 2 chicken and 3 shrimp dumplings. The rice was good. The noodles had a sesame, savory, taste to them! The chicken dumplings were so so good, but the shrimp really had a nice soft flavor which I enjoyed. I topped mine with the kewpie and sriracha, not too spicy but very flavorful. My friend was able to order the sauces on the side which we appreciated. We brought our meals that were packaged in the cutest box to a nearby bar and enjoyed the meal there! Will most definitely be back! read more

The food was good for the price. The rice was good, the dumplings tasted like they were the frozen kind from Costco but weren't bad and the noodles were a little mushy when we went. Nonetheless it was only $12 per box so we weren't expecting anything too fancy! Would come back if we needed something quick and we were in the area but probably wouldn't go out of our way. read more

Lovebite Dumplings - Noodles with pork dumplings - Dim Sum Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I like the concept, and love dumplings. Sadly, this is one that is better in theory than practice. The dumplings didn't taste fresh and the bottom of my box leaked. There really isn't room to sit, so it is more of a to go spot, and more of an appetizer feel. I thought the green base was good, and the staff was friendly, but the quality of the dumplings feels close to what I can get from Costco for less. read more

This place is a cutie little dumpling spot! We chose rice as the base (it's just white rice that's colored) and we got 10 dumplings. We got a combination of pork, chicken, and shrimp and got the yuzu soy sauce that comes on the side with crunchy onions on top. The dumplings, rice, and sauce were all really good just couldn't tell the difference between any of the dumplings. Would come back though! read more

I was really excited when I saw this place was opening. Great concept but the food sadly didn't live up to the hype. The dumplings tasted store bought and I could not distinguish between the different fillings and the sauce didn't add much. The rice was hard but the purple color was a fun twist. Service was quick but one of the employees kept pulling at the front of her hair which was off putting. read more

Fast, quick, and aesthetic eats. I actually appreciate the concept and I don't mind that it's not necessarily authentic. Service was excellent as well. That being said, dumplings over more carbs is slightly overwhelming, especially with the little dumplings to base ratio. The pink dragonfruit rice has crazy potential - never tried anything like it. But it tasted too sweet for my taste for a savory element (reminded me of Thai mango sticky rice.. which is great as dessert!). Flavor bombs are great when use in the correct context. If they can fine tune the rice to make it an "essence," i think it'd pair much more nicely with the dumplings. They're definitely onto something here!! read more

Love! Such a cool aesthetic inside and out. Love their branding, packaging, and decor as well as the food! They keep the process simple - Choose a base of noodles, rice, or greens. Then choose your dumplings (you get 5) I tried both the chicken and pork. Pork dumplings were fantastic! Also the kewpie mayo is the best sauce for any of your choices! Great service here everyone was so friendly and happy to be working even with a line out the door. They will do very well no doubt. Note: This is super instagramable and tasty food but it is not traditional. Not a bad thing at all but someone expecting what they know would probably have an issue with that. I on the other hand am obsessed and will definitely be coming back! read more

I wanted to like this place but unfortunately it was disappointing. The shrimp dumplings were white instead and the ratio to carb(base) and dumplings were off. The packaging was super cute but the actual quality of the food could be better. It'd also help maybe to pan fry it and include sauces on the side. Maybe an additional veggie in the box or something may help too read more
