    We got our food to go so I can't speak on the service as much But the staff were nice and we were given our food promptly And everything was SOLID! Delicious authentic Chinese soup dumplings! The fried finger dumplings were super expensive and small in amount which I wish was cheaper but overall this is a great spot! I'm looking forward to eating here again next time I'm in the San Antonio area.

    Our waiter Alejandro did an amazing job explaining the menu going through it and letting us know about all the hot items on the menu. The food was so delicious. The string beans were definitely the top item but you can't go wrong with all the options. The restaurant is ADA accessible my electric wheelchair was able to got underneath the table and it was good to see another wheelchair user there as well. The ambience is definitely busy but you can't really tell once you're at your table plus they do a great job at cleaning out the tables and filling them in making the wait time go by faster.

    Shrimp dumplings (not good)

    I will give this place a 3 stars review. I order the green beans they were good. The pork siu mai was terrible, the same for the shrimp dumplings, they were over cook. I ordered the lo main had a weird taste. The service was great. The place looked ok, it is not that big compared with to the people who want to eat at that place. I will not go back.

    Very pleasant experience visiting LD to try out their soup dumplings - we ended up ordering a lot more than we anticipated, but it was all excellent. Parking is exceptionally easy as there's a large lot off the I-10 frontage road. I also liked the anime-style vibe - I think our waitress was meant to be an anime-style maid, which was very cool. We arrived at the opening mid-week so there was no wait but it filled up quickly! The blue crab and pork soup dumplings were divine; probably the best I've had out here in Texas. Kudos to whoever balanced out the seafood and pork flavors, it was superb. We also tried their BBQ pork buns and their exceptionally cute 'Piggy Red Bean buns', which were almost too adorable to eat. Almost! Also of note were two of the appetizers, the 'Fried Dough Stick' and the Chicken wings. The former is like a churro without the sugar, and is tasty. However the wings were superb, with a wonderfully crispy coating. Definitely returning to try more of the menu! This place scores a 5 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either.

    I've stopped by Luscious Dumplings a few times now and have thoroughly enjoyed it every time. They use Yelp check in, which I highly recommend on weekday evenings after 6 and after 3 pm on weekends. Otherwise it's not a long wait. Service has been on and off each time I've gone; I was informed by management that the weekday 5-6 pm time frame is when the AM shift leaves and the PM team comes in. I totally understand this, but we were still unattended to for about 15 minutes which is a while. The food is great! So far we've had the yuzu chicken soup dumplings (my obligatory order), cabbage and chicken pan fried dumplings (really good), blue crab and pork soup dumplings (super good!), and the pork and cabbage buns (it comes in an order of 3 and they are huge!). Some of the appetizers we had were chicken skewers, also huge and delicious, and sesame broccoli. It's such a simple dish - steamed broccoli cooled in ice water and served with sesame dressing, but it was so addicting! I will say I do not recommend the pork wonton soup - it is very bland and i had to add salt to it to taste anything. The ambiance is interesting - there are several TVs all showing different TV shows and anime and a projection screen to watch sports. They do have a happy hour but the information is inconsistent on the menus. As far as I know, it goes on till 5 pm. Highly recommend checking this restaurant out; we'll be back for more

    I wanted to love this place, but I felt like their food was lacking some flavor. When I visited, it was pretty busy but I was seated in no time. My friend and I wanted to try a wide variety, so we ordered the stir fried beef ho fun, blue crab and pork soup dumplings, cabbage pork and shrimp fried dumplings, and the stewed angus beef noodles. The beef ho fun was our favorite, it was perfectly seasoned and better than the other ho funs/chow funs we've tried in San Antonio. The soup dumplings were just okay. The meat to filling ratio was good, but the broth needed more flavor and lacked depth. The fried dumplings were also okay, but the meat could've been seasoned more and the dumplings were not crispy. The angus beef noodles were pretty good, but the broth also lacked some depth and felt like it was missing something. The noodles and beef in it were great though! I love all the TVs in the restaurant that were playing different things. I'd definitely come back for their fried noodle dishes and to try their rice dishes!

    The most amazing Chinese food in San Antonio with such a great variety. The food came out so fast yet steaming hot and fresh. As far as decor and ambience, I absolutely love the kawaii and modern vibe. All the food is flavorful and very authentic. Shout out to Jayce for incredible service and the staff for making our experience one to remember.

    This place is great! Very similar in dishes as Din Tai Fung but at better prices. It's one of very few soup dumpling spots in town so it has a long wait. We waited for over an hour but luckily we had a lot to catch up on. They also play music videos and tv shows around the room. I noticed an episode of Pokemon and even Sailor Moon! This place has a great menu selection! We ordered all the soup dumplings possible and a few other crowd pleasers: spicy wontons, garlic green beans and the black lava buns. Spicy wontons only came with 4 since it was on the app menu. It came out within 5 mins of ordering. It came in a deep bowl of sauce, that we could drink, it was so good! Not too spicy. We saved it to use as chili oil with our dumplings later. The garlicky green beans were so addicting! It was great to have a vegetable with all the rich flavors. Though it can be salty with all the sauces. I didn't take a picture of my Lychee green tea with crystal pearls, but it was great. Just like ordering from a boba shop! Once seated our food came out quickly. Our spicy dumpling app came out within 5 mins of ordering. Everything else came in the next 10. All the food was delicious and flavorful. The green beans are addicting. The soup dumplings are nice and plump and come with the authentic dressings like vinegar and pickled ginger. I like the crab one the least, because the crab flavor is minimal. It's basically like eating the pork one, but just slightly more expensive. (Not as much of an up-charge as DTF) The Yuzu chicken soup dumpling was our favorite because the yuzu citrus added a brightness that cut the fatty richness of the pork dumplings. All great to try though! For "dessert" we ordered the black lava buns which has a melty salted egg custard. I love the flavor of salted egg and there was some sweetness from the bun. It came out piping hot and was so satisfying! We were so full though and could only eat one each. But i'd get this over the sweet pig ones! Our server Vanessa was great, you could tell she enjoys working there. We were so full by the end of it and wanted to try more. So we'll be back!

    Yummy spot. Every dish is stellar. Service is great and i highly recommend the green beans, soup dumplings and eggplant noodles with some binsu for dessert. Spot has great parking and cute vibe. Blind box capybaras and dumpling themed merchandise available. Cutesy.

    R2. Stewed Pork Belly and Rice
    Leia Q.

    Absolutely amazing spot! We went a little crazy but it was all worth it. It was a rainy day so their soup dumplings were perfect. The stewed pork belly was also good, and the meat was very tender. We also enjoyed their pan fried dumplings and shumai. We also did their blind box boba and our daughter loved their little capybara surprise toy. We capped our meal with the incredible Mango Bingsu. Everything we had was great and had large servings. It was also very busy when we went but all our items got served very quickly, and they were very accommodating towards our kids. It felt so cozy and warm to contrast the rainy weather outside. Additionally, the convenience of being able to join the waitlist via Yelp! was a great bonus. We're definitely coming back and maybe trying out their fun drinks next time!

    This place is amazing! The service is quick and friendly; happy to help answer any questions about the menu you might have. The ambiance is a little loud because of the smaller size but still manageable for a good night out. The food is amazing! Everything we had tasted fresh and the filling on the buns and dumplings was very generous.

    Always delicious! I've been back here numerous times and I always enjoy it. The service is pretty fast and it's always a good vibe.

    Erika R.

    The food here is always delicious!.. I love the atmosphere, the service and the food. I have been here twice and both experiences were very good. There are many options for appetizers, dishes with rice or noodles and dumplings and potstickers. Service asks about dietary restrictions or preferences which I appreciate since I don't consume pork or beef. They have many options for vegetarian meals. I also like the chili oil and all the condiments that have on the table. Will continue to go to this restaurant in the future.

We tried some new-to-us dishes recently and generally found them to be very good. Orange Chicken was not overly battered, big chunks of white chicken meat, not too saucy and just a hint of spice. Real orange peel, too, which makes all the difference! We also ordered the Spicy Combination with beef, chicken, and shrimp. Carrots, peppers, bamboo in the dish provided a bit of veggie balance. Not our most favorite, but still very good. As per usual, we started with steamed dumplings and crab puffs; DH added a cup of egg drop soup- this place serves his favorite egg drop soup. Everything was delicious. I always ask for chili oil for that extra added kick! I do wish that the dishes labeled "spicy" were actually spicy. They really aren't spicy at all. Don't let the little pepper symbol deter you. Always clean, always prompt, always good!

Most meals are excellent with a I miss now and then, but overall, I would never complain about that.

The lunch specials came with soup and egg roll, and fried rice. DH ordered his litmus test dish for American style Chinese- General Tso chicken. The portion was generous. The sauce was tasty. The chicken pieces tasted like your average frozen nuggets tossed in sauce. It's that familiar "seasoning" to the chicken and coating- iykyk. Not bad at all, just not the best. He enjoyed his egg drop soup. I opted for Hunan Beef. The sauce was thicker than I prefer, with an almost gelatinous consistency. The hot and sour soup was nice, a little more sour than hot. We both thought the fried rice that came with lunch was a little bland. Maybe the entree version is better? Each special was under $10, and it's definitely a great value.
