    XLB 10/10 very flavorful and well done Pork shu mai - big proportions but could be tastier Fried rice - good and well done as is every chinese restaurant I most especially liked their sesame balls, it was hot and crispy. Service was fast and waitresses were quick, too quick almost as to rush you. But overall place is great and the interiors are quite modern. One less star because I feel like their food had quite too much MSG, felt quite dizzy leaving and a bit pricyZ

    Very good spot for dumplings! Service was great and the food came out very fast! Spicy pork shrimp wontons (5/5) - SO GOOD! The spicy sauce has the perfect flavor, kind of like din tai fung but better. It's not too spicy, slightly sweet. Compliments the wonton very well. Smacked organic cucumber salad (4/5) - refreshing cucumber salad. Marinade is on the lighter side, but still pretty good Dumpling with pork and napa cabbage (4/5) - Skin is a bit thick in our opinion, but the filling is very tasty and juicy. Original pork soup dumplings (5/5) - very good soup dumplings! The dumpling skin is perfect, thin yet still sturdy enough to be picked up. It's soupy (soup is slightly on the thicker side) and flavorful. And they're a decent size. Mini fried sesame balls (4/5) - these are definitely mini and don't look like the images on their online ordering menu. Still good sesame balls though! Crispy exterior and sweet red bean filling. We are definitely coming back to try their other dishes in the future!

    My husband and I love dumplings, so we decided to stop by for dinner at 8pm on a Saturday evening. We didn't have to wait too long before we were seated in the back. The place was pretty packed inside and seemed a bit chaotic. We ordered and waited about 15 min or so before we got our food. We ordered the pan fried soup dumpling, mini pan fried pork bun, and braised beef noodle soup. Everything was above expectation, especially the dumplings because they were nice and crispy. I would probably skip the noodle soup next time since there wasn't anything special about it. I feel like the food here is authentic based on the quality and the taste. This spot will be on my list to come back again if I'm ever craving dumplings since good restaurants are hard to come by nowadays. It's also located in downtown with lots of restaurants nearby.

    Great spot to drop by with 2-4 friends and share plates! The food was delicious and service was prompt and very friendly. Portions were fair for the current bay area economy. The soup dumplings were delicious, though over $2 each per pc was a bit more than expected, i.e. I thought there'd be more than 6 pc at 14.95. But if you are visiting "My Dumpling," definitely order dumplings! Just be careful, let them cool a few mins upon arrival; don't eat them immediately and burn your tongue with the hot soup inside. 4.5 overall, rounding up.

    Soup dumplings restaurants seem to be popping everywhere in the Bay Area like grass weeds in my back yard so I was naturally skeptical of how good it can be when this restaurant opened recently. I was pleasantly surprised. The place is nicely decorated, clean, and modern. Not only is there a clean restroom but it was actually heated! Not something you find at many Chinese restaurants:) Now on to the food. The original soup dumplings has one of the most broths of any dumplings I've tried. I counted almost 2 soup spoons of soup. The skin was thin. The dumplings were moist, tender and flavorful. The vinegar dipping sauce was solid though I wish there were more ginger. On the downside, one order comes with only six dumplings while other restaurants typically offer more. The crispy dumplings were nicely pan fried with a very crispy bottom. The dumpling was a bit more "doughy" than others I've tried but nevertheless good. Not as much "soup" in the crispy dumpling though. Also tried the spicy wontons which were solid but not hugely memorable. It wasn't too spicy at all but did have a good "mala" taste. They offer a long menu of other items as well including rice and noodles dishes, and I would definitely stop by next time to try them.

    I had this place on my list for a while and finally got to try it. It did not disappoint! We were a party of 4 and arrived at 7pm on a Saturday night. There was a 15 minute wait and it was almost exactly 15 minutes later that we were seated. It is fairly small inside, but clean and open. The servers were prompt and efficient. They worked as a team, you don't have one dedicated server. We ordered mostly stir fry entrees. The only dim sum we had was mini pork fried buns-they are delicious! I want to come back and try more of their dumplings. We ordered chicken fried rice, beef chow mein, salt and pepper fish, kung bao chicken, and sweet and sour chicken. Everything was fresh and tasty. When we tried to name our favorite dish no one could pick just one thing. It was all very good. The food service came out one dish at a time. We ordered the mini pork buns first, but they came out second to last. We will definitely be back for more!

    Exactly what you'd expect! I love any restaurant that's giving Din Tai Fung and this one hits! Big fan of the garlic string beans and also the pan fried SJB - the bottoms were very very crisp and the inside was super soupy. Service was fast, and the food came out in a reasonable time even though this place was poppin' !

    Exceptional Chinese restaurant that serves fresh and delicious dumplings (of course), but also xiaolongbao and other dim sum dishes. Best dish is definitely their marinated beef rolls, but their dandan noodles are also really good. The one dish we had to send back was the osmanthus rice wine sesame ball dessert soup, since the glutinous sesame balls were undercooked, and the staff were kind enough to remove it from the bill. Food is prepared quickly and I cannot stress how fresh the ingredients taste with good flavors. Besides the beautiful interior and well-decorated tableware, the staff are very friendly and kind, happily making concessions and ensuring everyone has a good experience.

    Simple and enjoyable but nothing crazy outstanding. The restaurant feels like a fast food spot in China - that's a good thing. Pretty authentic. Crowded and lively. The place is clean and feel new. The fried rice 8/10 good but portion small Chow mien 7/810 bit oily Dumplings 7/10 it's ok Soup dumplings 6/10 dough as undercook

    3.5 star review. Decent dumpling/chinese restaurant in downtown San Mateo. More than halfway through our meal, we noticed that there was a sticker that was still on the red bell pepper skin...I didn't feel like making a big deal out of it and we had finished 75% of that dish already so we just left the rest of the bell papers. I did point it out to our server at the end just so the kitchen is aware of it going forward. The staff was apologetic and gave us two yogurt drinks on our way out which was nice I guess. In terms of the rest of the food, it was ot bad. Chow mein was pretty standard. I asked for less oily but it was still a bit oily. Mini pan fried buns were juicy and crispy on the outside. The sweet and sour chicken was also crispy.

    We've ordered from My Dumpling many times, and the food is always excellent and consistently delicious--whether dining in or getting takeout. The kids absolutely love the mini pan-fried pork dumplings and the pork soup dumplings. The mini pan-fried dumplings arrive hot and perfectly crispy every time. The pork soup dumplings have beautifully thin skins, just as they should, and they're generous with the accompanying vinegar sauce, which really enhances the flavor. The garden pea shoots are prepared with just the right amount of garlic and maintain a wonderful crunch. Even my kids--who usually avoid green vegetables--enjoy this dish here. My personal favorite dessert is the taro buns. I truly look forward to them every visit--they're perfectly balanced with just the right level of sweetness for my palate. The service here is incredible. That staff are kind, attentive and helpful. The restaurant itself is nice, clean and well lit. Tonight, they were especially kind and gifted my kids some squishy toys for Chinese New Year. I highly recommend My Dumpling!

I came with a friend and got seated immediately. In terms of service, there wasn't too much interaction with the staff since you order via QR code, but they will come over and put your receipt on the surface of the table and check off your items as they bring them out. Initially, my friend and I thought they grilled the skewers on the plate at the table; however, it comes pre-cooked and grilled, and the plate itself is there to keep your food warm. I looked under, and it's "powered" by a bunch of tea candles. Between both of us, we ordered some skewers of enoki mushrooms (which was my favorite, super tender and flavorful), some beef skewers, a beef skewer with lychee (super unique), beef tongue (a bit tough for my liking), and chicken skin (extremely crispy, somewhat hard to pull off the skewer). I want to call out again the beef with lychee since this was an item I do not see often. It was interesting because the beef was seasoned well and when combined with the lychee, it added a refreshing note; however, the lychee's textural profile was similar to fatty beef, which personally threw me off a bit as someone who tends not to like fatty cuts (if you are a fan though, you'll like this). Overall, this spot is an okay place to check out if you're in the area. Parking in this area of San Mateo is limited, but the restaurant itself has a lot of tables, so it can be good for bigger parties.

Curry Beef Stew I've never had Curry beef stew before, prefer chicken, curry, but for some odd reason, I decided to order this dish. It was underwhelming and I won't order it again. The Curry sauce itself was OK but the big long pieces of beef were somewhat gross, lots of fat. They added plenty of slices to onions and a few pieces of green pepper and Julienned carrots, but that's about it for being called a stew. So I learned my lesson by not sticking to my usual order, and won't order wonton soup or curry beef stew again.

I recently went back since I was in the area. The food is just as I remembered. The sauce is slightly overdone but the noodles are good enough. They did offer slightly more variety than I'd expect from this kind of restaurants. I think it's alright but probably not worth paying for parking in San Mateo for this. What I mean is that if you happen to be in the area then it's fine to dine here but probably not worth coming here just for the restaurants as there are alternatives outside of San Mateo where you don't have pay for parking. However the reason I gave 4 stars is that they give you enough meat on the noodle to make it slightly better deal even though everything in the Bay Area is overpriced. The service is really efficient and friendly enough. The restaurant is small and long) do I wouldn't suggest larger parties.
