Fried rice
Sidney P.

This is always a 5 star experience for us. Friendly service and food is fantastic. Much better than Dough Zone, which had become too corporate. Handmade noodles are delicious here. Highly recommend!!

Xiao long bao
Jessilyn C.

I don't like comparing restaurants with other restaurants so I'll stick to talking about the food. I had food delivered so I can't go about the service or ambiance of place. But according to deliverer he waited a while for the food. The pork xiao long bao was dry, hardly any soup. It was more affordable than other places, but not quite as good. So probably not going back. The beef soup with bok choy and handmade noodles arrived hot. Were ok, but the broth was a bit salty, and off pudding in taste. My daughter felt the same about it. The braised beef pancake rolls were good, but a bit soggy. And the deep fried buns were so dry I could barely chew it.

Green Onion Pancakes and Sweet and Sour Cucumber Saladsweet
Wendy K.

Visited for lunch this afternoon with friends was nice to come with more people and try more items. We ordered the Green onion pancake, salt and pepper shrimp, chicken chowmein and spicy eggplant. My friend said the spicy eggplant is her new favorite eggplant dish. I really enjoyed their version of salt and pepper shrimp. Full shell head on so delicious. Lots of garlic. Clean and bright space. Service is always friendly and quick we arrived about 11am and were seated immediately and given hot tea as soon as we sat down. Definitely will be back

Pork XLB
Helene L.

5 stars- I love the fact this place is super casual with home made quality XLB and Tawainese food. Food- 4 stars- homey, yummy! * loved the pig ear salad- flavorful. Not spicy, loved how thinly sliced it was. * Braised beef in onion pancake roll- beef was super tender, flavorful, cut into chunks, cold. The pancake was too oily for me, and hot! Overall enjoyed. * spicy wontons- was fine. Nothing exciting. * sautéed string beans were good- little oily and salty. Flavor was good * braised beef noodle soup had a lot of depth. Beef tender. Hand made noodles were the best! * pork XLB- good flavor, not as much soup, but still good. *golden fried buns- drizzled with condensed milk. Simple, hot and yummy! Ambiance- 3 stars. Service- 4 stars. Server was nice and kids loved all the kid friendly design bowls, utensil and cups. Food came out super fast. Location- Great Wall shopping center where 99Ranch is located. Plenty of parking. On the right side/arm of the mall. Value- very good. Recommend- YES!

Chinese Sausage Chow Mien
Clint W.

What the actual heck, this place is SO good. We stopped in here based on a GPS "on your route" recommendation that my daughter picked. What I found was my mother's food. The regional tastes here are so close to what I grew up eating at home that there has to be a connection. Don't sleep on the tomato egg drop soup, the braised pork belly, or their street cart style fried dumplings and pan fried Mama's pork baos. There are places in Asia where you might wait for an hour to get plates so good. The more common dishes like sweet and sour chicken are actually made the way we do at home, not puffed pastries, but a savory and hearty glazed dish the way it's supposed to be made. The chow mien is simple and flavorful, again, exactly how it is supposed to be. If I didn't know exactly where my mom was right now, I would go back into to kitchen to say hi.

It was stale thick fried batter in super sugary sauce-it's lacking flavor

The fried spicy eggplants looks so good but oh man it was not good! This is based on my order itself today because usually this place is really good Today my rating is 1/5 (hence I rated it 3 stars just because it can be a hit or miss) Spicy fried eggplants: Spice level 0/5 (I'm so confused, there is no spice at all) Taste: 0/5 it tasted like pure candied sugar, not savory no salt Batter: it was like thick fried chicken batter but it was so stale from all the sauce 0/5 Price: $15 for half container portion Overall I would not get this dish again

Stopped by here after a long day of shopping and couldn't have been more satisfied! We were greeted with smiles and seated right away. The overall vibe was very clean and Asian lol. We ordered the xiaolongbao and some type of noodle soup that I forgot lol. They were both very delicious. And they came out quickly. Service was definitely top notch. We were checked up on regularly and the staff there were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely come back again.

Pan fried dumplings
Lucy C.

Crispy and very delicious. I also recommended this dish to a family member and he went to try the same thing on his way to pick up someone from the airport. It's about a 13 minute drive to SeaTac from Mama Dough's so if you need a place to eat on the way to the airport I highly recommend mama dough! Get the crispy pan fried dumplings! Just look at how good that looks

Sauteed String Beans with Garlic
Tatiana W.

Great dumplings and selection of bigger plates. The service was so fast, and we got to see the staff make dim sum behind the counter. Service was fast and it was clean and bright inside. I loved the garlic string beans!

Spicy Braised Beef Noodle Soup
Kana S.

We ordered braised beef pancake roll, braised beef spicy oil noodles, and pork Xiao Long Bao. They were all great and enough for 2 people. My favorite was braised beef pancake rolls. The tangy sauce complemented the rolls very well.

Frozen pork wonton
Esther F.

Food: 3/5 - Got 2 pork wonton noodle soup bowls - Good noodles and chicken broth - Very small wontons with maybe 1/2 teaspoon of meat filling. - Got 1 order pork wontons in spicy Sichuan sauce. Very tasty, but again, very small wontons. - Got a $20 bag of 50 frozen wontons just for convenience to make at home. With such small wontons, you only get 1/2 a freezer gallon bag full. Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 3/5 - Modernized, but basic and serviceable

B1. Pork Wonton in Spicy Sichuan Sauce and C8. Beef Pancake
Han H.

Super friendly staff, immediately greets you as you come in the door. Attentive too! The space is small but wasn't too crowded on a Saturday at 1pm. Food was good, comparable to Din Tai Fung (and better than Dough Zone imo). My mom didn't like the taste of the meat though. Really like the texture of their eggplant and beef pancake roll.

Pork Dumplings
Wennie H.

Maybe I needed to take a break from this place to really appreciate it thoroughly? Either way I'm so glad I made the decision to come here for a late lunch. Ordered the potato salad, beef pancake roll, chicken pancake roll and red spilled oil noodles. Potato salad had great crunchy texture and the perfect punch of vinegar. Pancake rolls were delicious, super oily and crispy- the meat in both was good but I preferred the chicken...however! The sauce on the beef was so yummy, the touch of sweetness. The noodles were delicious, spicy, tons of garlic and had great chew. Service was good and quick.

I see some people saying they order to go, but I CANNOT get them to answer their phone. Any tips or tricks?

Call blocked

I am disabled-how FAR in to the mall is it to get to Mama's Dough? Great pain when I walk.. usually can only go about 20 steps before I must sit down. Is this restaurant "do- able" for me? (esp. if someone dropped me off in front?) What entrance?

I would say it’s 2-3 restaurants in so right about your limit of steps. I always get my food to go and it’s amazing. Perhaps order on the phone and have someone run in to pick up for you? You won’t be disappointed. I hope this helps.

Sans Woks did some things very well and other not as good, but as long as you stuck with the items you like, it was an overall solid spot. New owners took over about 18 months ago and I was excited, they claimed to keep the old recipes, while adding more items to the menu. On my first visit the portion was generous and the flavor was OK. The Hot and Sour was not the same, but I liked the Orange Chicken more. However, as I returned, portions got smaller, flavor got weaker and the chef ignored my requests for more heat and more seasoning. The last couple visits the food was flat out terrible and I now refuse to return. Unless they make significant changes, I don't see them remaining open. It's a slap in the face to the name, if you are not going to honor the original restaurant, CHANGE YOUR NAME.

Off of central in Kent closer to s 277th street. There was only one young person in the place with us. Two guys working the place. The owner who catered to us, and the cook. Not sure why I never heard of this place. Owner said they have been open for 3 years now. The food came out fast. We actually ordered too much we had it for three more meals at home. I think overall the food was good. Like I was telling the owner I normally drive to Canada to get Chinese food, or San Fran for dim sum. I'm pretty hard to please. But since I like to support local, I'll bring my friends here another time for lunch. The decor was minimal but nice. From the outside it looked like it was closed, and like it was a home or doctors office. It's right next to a bikini barista. So we missed it the first time. It's a brick building. The tea was really good. The perfect amount of Chinese leaves, and it was nice and hot for a cold blistery day even if it's almost spring.

A triumph itself in Renton, Triumph Valley has boasted versatility throughout the years since it's…read moreopening. From ramen, to hot pot, large parties and of course a traditional menu. But for those in the know, Triumph Valley is really known for their dim sum menu! Off the beaten path, you have to take State Highway 167, as its just south of the large IKEA store. But definitely a culinary landmark if you are a constant diner of Chinese cuisine, and dim sum afficianado. There are only three dim sum, or dumpling lunch providers in or around the City of Renton (technically two). This is one of them, and if you are not early, it can get really crowded, especially on weekends. But the staff bravely soldiers-on with their dilligent service. The restaurant's ambiance takes advantage of its interior with strategic lighting in their dining hall. Very utilitarian, while trying to ensure a little bit of style. They also modernize the experience with electronic waiting and ordering system on portable touch screens. It actually helps the service. No paper. As for me, my focus is on the dim sum. All of my favorites are there. And, as diner of one, it was hard not to want to order everything. So, I ordered the "basics" of a dim sum lunch. One order of Shiu Mai, one order of Har Gow, and one order steamed BBQ Pork. It was pretty much all you need along with an order of tea, as well as a Diet Coke to wash it all down. There were other traditional dim sum selections, but I knew my tummy (and wallet) wouldn't absorb it all - as much as I would have liked. Steamed beancurd sheets, beef meatballs, steamed sticky rice in banana leaves... chicken feet, it was all there. The best way is to make a plan, and invite lots of freinds to make sure you can try EVERYTHING! Yes, there are other menu items, like I said, but for Dim Sum dining in Renton, this is the place!!!! See you at Triumph Valley.

It's inside Great Wall Mall, so even with the big parking lot, it stays busy because of Ranch 99. The restaurant has about 6-7 round tables -- perfect for family gatherings. We ordered Orange Beef, General Tso's Chicken, Beef Chow Fun, Special Chow Mein, Chicken with Salted Fish Fried Rice, and the Eight Jewels Hot Pot with Tofu. Everything tasted really good, but my favorite was the Orange Beef -- super crispy even with the sauce and really flavorful. Solid food, good portions, and a convenient location.

For this visit, I came in a group of 5 to celebrate Mother's Day a day early. Even with that, we had to put our name down on a waitlist, and even wait longer than usual since we did not make a reservation ahead of time through the phone. We did eventually get seated about an hour later and got a big table with the rotating glass in the middle for our family-style eating. For it being really busy and people coming in and out everywhere inside, food came out even faster! I swear it took like 15 or so minutes for all the dishes we got to arrive, and they are huge portions. - Lemon chicken: I always ask for the sauce on the side for this one. This is the only place I know of that uses chicken breast for the meat and not chicken thighs like most other Chinese restaurants do. Chicken tempura is crispy and chicken itself is juicy and really hot. Lemon sauce came on a bigger-than-expected bowl. - Mustard green and sliced pork soup: we asked for this one without the salty egg. Essentially a very clean soup with tofu, veggies, egg whites and small pieces of sliced pork. - Lotus root with fresh squid and peanut: lotus roots were a little crunchy, pretty nice dish overall with the peanuts putting their nutty mark throughout the ingredients. - Salt and pepper sole fillet: very salty but to the point where you don't need any sort of sauce. Came in very piping hot. - Ong cai/water spinach: pretty standard for most Chinese restaurants. Clean and a needed veggie among all the fried and salty dishes we got. - Singaporean style noodles: one of my favorites to get. Curry taste is prevalent, and was maybe a little too spicy for my parents to eat. - Razor clams: not a fan of these but I didn't taste any sand grains when I had a bite, so this was cleaned very well. - Lamb pot: lamb was a little touch to chew, and the fried tofu skins carried a lot more flavor for some reason. This was a humongous meal and we were all very satisfied! From other visits we were considering getting their slow cooked herb soup for this visit but it would be $16 per person so we did pass on it. That being said, dishes here are priced reasonably, and portions are really huge. Highly recommend here for a great meal for large parties!
