I had previously left a review prior to trying to food. We had the edamame which was very tasty! The dumplings were amazing! They were crispy outside but so juicy inside and the meat mixture that had was very tasty. The prawns were overall okay but probably wouldn't order them again. But overall the food and the services was really good! read more

I wanted to try Mom's Dumplings in Davis since they advertise they are MSG-free. You order online via the QR code the table. Even though this is how you send your order in, they'll pay payment in person. I ordered the Cuttlefish & Pork Dumplings and the Zucchini Egg & Shrimp Dumplings. I personally didn't care for the fishy taste of the Cuttlefish, but I didn't choose this dish for myself. Overall, enjoyed the texture of the wrappers and liked the dumplings. They tasted fresh and healthy. Service was nice/friendly. Not a lot of tables, but one side is just the walkway looking into the kitchen area, so it doesn't feel like you're crammed in. read more

Um... this place serve dumplings. Ones that resemble those that my mom makes. Which are free. Which I don't have to pay for. Which tastes better. And my mom served it with love and sacrifice and dedication. And my house always smelled good and mom's house has that weird cheap table cloth that looks gaudy and familia at the same time. If a restaurant is gonna call itself mom's dumpling, it's literally asking for it. And if I can get sick of eating my own mother's dumplings... I think the real problem is that all they serve are mainly just dumplings. And nothing else. If all they got were dumplings, it's gotta be good. Or have lamb in it. Or have lobster in it. Or even have some weird combo like a pho dumpling. But if it's just regular dumplings, I don't think it will last. What I'd recommend is Costco linglings. Or your friends who knows how to recreate their moms dumplings. Or someone else who can cook for you bc you are too lazy to make your own. Or a good dimsum place that isn't too pretentious or overly expensive. Don't come here. Unless your friends suggest it. If they did, then don't argue. Just swallow and pretend it's as good as your mom's dumplings. PS - the place looks nice and the staff were friendly read more

Very friendly service and food is tasty. Ordering is through QR code. Quick service and able to accommodate vegetarians. read more

This was my first time at Mom's Dumpling. The dumplings were delicious and tasted fresh. I ordered the cuttle fish/pork dumplings and the zucchini/shrimp dumplings. All dumplings were very moist and tasted fresh. The wrapper of the dumpling was light, chewy, and the perfect thickness. Ordering food is accomplished through using your own phone by scanning the QR code on the table. I've been to a few dumpling restaurants in Davis and Mom's Dumpling had the most unique and best tasting dumplings. Service was good as the workers were friendly. read more

I wasn't expecting these dumplings to be THIS GOOD. Got the triple delight which is pork shrimp and chive. You can't taste the chive and it's fantastic. You can tell there's a lot of shrimp, the portion is good for the price, there's the crispy part. I prefer this dumpling spot to the one just across the street because the flavor was PERFECT. Salt was perfect, it was flavorful, and it was still super juicy. Service was super nice and the inside is tiny but cute. read more

WOW FACTOR? Yes. Very attentive and friendly service. I really liked them. NOT HAVE AGAIN: The mackerel dumplings tasted too much like tuna. The pork, mushroom and water chestnut dumplings were just ok, without any crunch from the water chestnuts. Disappointing. Best to share with at least 3 others so you can have a variety of dumplings. read more

Dumplings were the best and freshest I've ever had. Very clean aesthetics, and vibe felt like I was at someone's aunt house for dinner. Service was quick considering dumplings were freshly made. read more

Im rating this pretty critically since its a dumpling restaurant, and I had every dumpling store in davis atleast 5 times each. This place would be a contender to yangkee if it wasnt for the dough. I think the filling is 5 stars, but the dough is a problem. It lacks structure and it isn't kneaded so it falls apart easily. I am hoping this issue can be fixed because it would elevate this place to atleast a 4.5 stars. The base feels more like a cracker than a thin crisp you look for in traditional dumplings. Great filling though, I will look forward to trying this place in the future again. read more

I recently ate here after a post on NextDoor informed me of the new restaurant's existence. With all the chilly fog lately, some dumplings sounded just right. It's open, airy and has plenty of natural light. You order by QR code, and the service is quick. I ordered some hot and sour soup, which was peppery, with sourness not overwhelming the meaty broth. It has plenty of textures too: a dense, almost gelatinous broth (in a good way), with soft tofu and crunchy mushrooms and bamboo. It was wonderful. For the dumplings, I selected the cuttlefish and pork. They were nice and meaty, again with balanced textures. The spices were subtle, and best of all was the explosion of of rich broth when biting in (I hadn't realized they were soup dumplings). The chili oil gave the perfect touch. I will definitely return to try more items read more

We really liked this small restaurant. Dumplings were fresh, service was prompt and helpful. You scan a QR code to order-very easy to do it. Food came quickly. We ordered spicy cucumbers, edamame, tofu with cilantro-these were all cold dishes. Also ordered black pepper beef dumplings, pork and chives dumplings and mixed vegetables dumplings. Our only request would be to mention somewhere that the pan fried mixed vegetables dumplings contain egg in the lacy fried pancake thing. Or have an option of having steamed mixed vegetables dumplings. Food was fresh and came very quickly to the table. We definitely recommend it. read more

This is the place to go if you like dumplings. All their dumplings are made from scratch, and ALL of them are fantastic. I went here yesterday with my mom, and we never go out to eat (maybe twice a month max) and since we tried this place, Mom's Dumplings has consistently earned its spot as one of the restaurants out of 2 max we go to each month. I don't think I could think more highly of their dumplings then I already do, they really are just fantastic! read more

My kids said the food was reminded them of NaiNai and YeYe's house. That says a lot. Easy experience, can order from QR or wait staff. Food came out super fast! They don't have XLB if you're wondering. We had the Japanese spinach, shredded potatoes, beef, shrimp & pork chives dumplings. Everything was great, tasted fresh and non processed. It really did feel like eating at my in-laws. My mandarin husband approves. Small cafe feel ambience. read more

went here when it just opened, we were the only people in here and ordered just these dumplings. it took about 45min to an hour for it to come out. they said a machine broke, yet were still serving food to the other customers... it felt like they treated customers who spoke chinese better than those who didn't... read more

Really yummy but some stuff was very spicy like the noodles. All the dumplings were fresh and tasty.

The food tastes incredibly authentic, and you can really tell they focus on using fresh ingredients and natural flavors instead of overpowering everything with seasoning. Every dish feels balanced and flavorful without being too heavy or artificial. I also appreciate that they don't use MSG, which makes the food taste cleaner and more genuine overall. Definitely a place I'd come back to for quality and authentic flavor. read more

Limited menu, terrible service. Very underwhelming. Dumpling fillings had odd texture and didn't taste good.

I am 1/4 Jiaodong blood and I 1000% recommend this place. (My grandma from Jiaodong peninsula.) Highly recommend the mackerel dumplings and zucchini shrimp and egg. They are authentic and tasty! The seafood dumplings tastes exactly like what my grandma would feed me. In short it tastes like home. How many seafood dumplings have you seen? Not quite often I suppose. Exactly! Because it is unique specials around Shandong province in China! I have been revisiting this place at least 5 times already since I found out they are here in the past 2 months. Great snacks like Garlic Crispy tofu. Service here is beyond expectation! Answered a lot of my requests! Constantly have newbies to try and they are ALL great! read more

Excellent dumplings! Service was fast and friendly. Only complaint is, I wish they offered hot tea.

Excellent home made food! Excellent quality! Exceptional service! Feels like going home :)

We really enjoyed delicious freshly made dumplings and noodle. Our server was great and owner's son was friendly.

Great family feel to the restaurant, food was tasty and fairly priced. Will definitely come back again

Husband and I went here. We had dumplings; pan fried dumplings, chicken wings, and mix veggies. We liked all the food here. The pan fried dumplings had a nice crispy bottom. Mix veggies was nice cool and refreshing. Everything was warm. The service was nice, refilled our waters a bunch of times. They had people make dumplings behind a glass wall. Overall positive experience. Will definitely come back. read more

Delicious! It's great to have an authentic handmade dumpling restaurant in downtown Davis! We had the pork and Chinese chives boiled dumplings, the black pepper beef boiled dumplings (boiled dumplings are the most common way of eating them in northern China, birthplace of the Chinese dumpling), beef potstickers, spinach and fried tofu. The tofu was fine but not my favorite, the spinach was simple with a nice toasted sesame sauce, and all the dumplings were so delicious! Slightly chewy dough and tasty fillings. We will be back! read more

Dumplings were literally bursting with so much juice!! Very delicious. We ordered the chicken wings, pork and chive dumplings and the triple delight pan fried dumplings. Everything was so good we devoured it immediately. Great and quick service. Will come here again if I'm craving dumplings. Next time I want to try the xiao long bao but they were sold out. read more

I've visited Mom's Dumpling twice, once for takeout (shrimp trio dumplings) and again to dine in (mixed vegetable pan-fried dumplings, boiled pork & corn dumplings, and spicy cucumber salad). Service was very friendly and quick both visits, and the dumplings were the best I've had in Davis. The cucumber salad ended up being an unexpected star at the table as well! They're still finalizing their menu so ordering was a little confusing, but the servers are very helpful and have brought out samples of new side dishes and drinks for me to try out, which has more than made up for it. This is a great addition to the Davis food scene and I really hope it succeeds. See you again soon, Mom's! read more

Friendly staff. Easy to get a table. Food was so-so. I few people in my party thought it smelled bad in the restaurant.

The food was delicious--authentic dumplings that brought me right back to China. If you're looking for truly good dumplings, this place is worth a visit." read more
