Ordered the XLB, braised beef noodle soup, and garlic pea sprouts. All of it was flavorful and delicious. The braised beef noodle soup was the star of the show! Already recommended this place to some friends and will definitely be back read more

Tasty but felt a little pricey for what you get imo. Their dumplings are certainly good though. The filling is flavorful and the dumpling skin is tender and chewy. The pork and napa cabbage is a classic (my favorite) and super good. The spicy dumplings came with a delicious sauce that we used for the rest of our food. It paired perfectly. The bbq pork buns were mediocre, I would not recommend them. Felt very gummy. The pan fried soup dumplings were juicy. idk if I would get them again though, since the basic dumplings were so much better in comparison. read more

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! read more

MY Dumpling - Chinese Near Me - San Mateo, California

We got her about 11:45 on Mothers Day and didn't have to wait in line. Everything we ordered was good. Wish they had soy sauce on the end of the table. They give plastic forks which I didn't like so we asked for regular fork; the walnut prawn was not I expected- to much batter: read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

3.5 stars - but let me preface this saying I JUST came back from Asia a few days ago where Asian food is 100000000000% better. The XLB here are legit. You can watch them wrapping them in the window in front. Wrapper was thin on the bottom (though a little thick on top) and full of flavorful soup. Pork potstickers were mediocre. A little chewy and hard to bite through and even though it's panfried, it wasn't crispy. Dan dan mien were basic. Nothing special - good, but not amazing. I enjoyed the honey grapefruit drink. Will be back to try more! read more

My family came in for a Sunday dinner and there was a wait, but it was only about 10 minutes. The service was quick and efficient. We ordered the spicy pork shrimp wontons and it had a bit of a sweeter taste to it and not spicy at all, which was not what I was expecting. The dough of the pan-fried soup dumplings were fluffy and delicious. Also got the eggplant in hot garlic sauce but it was too oiliy for my liking. Overall, the food was decent, and service was good, and it got the job done for wanting Chinese food for dinner without waiting a long time, but it wouldn't be my go-to. read 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' ! read more

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. read more

11/24/24 I came here to get dinner with a coworker one evening. I can't believe I didn't know this, but there is free parking in the caltrain garage on sundays, so that's where I parked. Unfortunately, it does smell like urine the further you go in, but at least it's free right? MY Dumpling is located in downtown San Mateo. And if you park at the caltrain station it's only a couples minutes to walk. Here's what we ordered to share: - Mini pan fried pork buns - Original pork soup dumpling - Dan dan noodle with pork (spicy) Everything tasted great and came out super quick. The soup dumplings were hot and flavorful. The pan fried pork buns were chewy and filled with pork inside. The Dan dan noodles were only mild spicy and I'm glad some veggies were added to the dish . I absolutely love dumplings and this place is at the top of my list. The restaurant itself is very clean, well lit and not too noisy inside. Will definitely need to come back another time for my next dumpling fix. read more

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. read more

081725 I told the BFF that I was craving for dumplings and suggested a place closer to her home but she opted to go in San Mateo instead since there are far more spots we can go afterwards. We made sure to time their opening (11 am) so we could avoid the lines. Turned out - great timing for us. We got seated and we ordered. The portion for the pork dumplings were only 6 - it was good - but would opt for more compared to other spots. The mini pan fried dumplings were delicious though be careful when biting - it spurts no joke. Also liked the chicken and corn dumplings were good. BFF ate the salad - it was too spicy for me. Their Vegetable Fried Rice W/ Egg was good, plenty of veggies and nice big proportion. Employees were not on the friendly side but that might be due to variety of reasons but just FYI. Overall, the place is clean and pricing was reasonable. read more

Nice location that they are in, and really love their crab soup dumplings and some boil dumplings that we have try such as pork with chives dumplings, and chicken corn dumpling, is really delicious. The xiaolongbao have thin skins and are full of flavorful soup, and the filling is fresh and tasty. Each bite is juicy and satisfying. The dumplings are well-made, generously filled, and seasoned just right -- they taste great even without any dipping sauce. Everything is served fresh, The prices are reasonable and the value is excellent. This is definitely a place I would come back to again, and I've recommended it to my friends. Further more, server are friendly and they will keep filling the water even though they are very busy. But anyway, REALLY enjoy having dinner tonight with my family in this place. read more

This place was cute. It had great sized tables but the one we were seated at was pretty dirty including underneath. The staff wasn't super friendly. Although it was a sit in and eat type of place it seemed more like a fast food place because they were really quick to serve us and have us leave. The food was lacking flavor for the Dumplings and fried gyoza. The chicken was very sweet and had a good crunch to it. If you're in a hurry, this is a great place to go to I just would recommend the staff to do a better job of cleaning and then seating you. read more

We came in and there was no line but there was one table left that was for disabled in front of the restaurant. It was a very hot day and the sun was shining directly on that one table. We were seated at the table for 1 minute and since nobody else was waiting for a table, I asked the server with glasses if we could switch to the table next to us ( they were about to leave), she just completely ignored me and said " huh?" with an annoyed face and tone and walked away. ( She does speak English and Chinese , so do I) After that , I actually wanted to leave but other restaurants had long lines . It was very hot inside since there was no air conditioning and she completely ignored me. After about 5 minutes , another customer came in and she gave him that table. When we were just about to leave, another server asked if we wanted the table inside near the window, So we moved. The older server was very kind. The best dish we ordered was the Shanghai soup dumplings. They tasted delicious. Everything else was just okay. Garlic string beans were just average 5/10 Popcorn chicken was a bit dry 6/10 Dumplings with corn and chicken 7/10 Mini pan fried dumpling 7/10 ( not much flavor) Soup dumplings 10/10 read more

We ordered haw gao, sui Mai, and soup dumplings. The soup dumplings were good and the sui Mai was okay. They weren't very flavorful. The haw gao was strange and not what I'm used to. The shape and size was all weird and it was more like a real dumpling shape instead of a ball shape. It threw me off a little bit and also didn't have much flavor. All in all, I was disappointed and wouldn't go back. read more

MY Dumpling - Soup dumplings - Chinese Near Me - San Mateo, California

We were so busy eating that we forgot to take pictures. We walked by and saw the picture of the pan fried mini soup dumplings and were so interested. Glad we stopped as these are delicious and the kids devoured them. We always like our favorite places and have not been good about trying other dumpling restaurants but we are definitely returning for these mini soup dumplings. Their pan fried pork buns were delicious and will definitely be ordering the salt and pepper fish and tofu and noodles again! It gets crowded but we went early around 11 for lunch and there were still a couple of tables open. read more

Small place but fast turn over, the inside is bright. 1pm on Sunday, the restaurant was full but we didn't have to wait too long. Waiting area we can see working making dumplings. Order with QR code, food comes fast. Service also very fast maybe we sit very close to the kitchen, I felt like they are waiting for me to finish my last dumpling then change out the bun down original xlb, that's my favor. Meat was soft flavored well, everyone of the xlb had soup in it. Dough a little thicker then I thought but has favor. I wish there's more ginger in the vinegar plate and they r thinner. Pan fried pork bun, bottom is crispy. It's hit & miss not each one has soup and the dough was super thick, even its thick when your pick up the bun, you can see the soup already came out very sad. Cucumbers, it's just missing something, not sour enough, not spicy enough and maybe a little too big of each piece. Maybe smack it more so the sauce will get to it. Part of it is felt like I'm just eating a cucumber without taste. read more

My friend took me here for a very belated treat and it didn't it disappoint! We actually got there at 11:30 but didn't see a line so we thought we had time to shop around first. We can back around 12:15 and the line was out the door! Luckily the wait was only about 10 mins as we got a sit inside. My friend recommended the mini pan fried dumplings, xlb and the bean paste with noodles (jijiang mein). It was all amazing!! The xlb was packed with juice and I mean packed that it took two spoons to finish it. The skin was thin, which is how I liked it ! The pan fried dumplings had the perfect crisp and when it came to the noodles it was packed with flavors! They also have dumplings that were premade on their freezer section. So if you want to take some to go , you can make it at home. I would definitely come back! read more

My partner and I were super excited to see a new dumpling spot has opened up that replaced the old location of Old Town Sushi. Inside the restaurant, it's pretty modern so it's aesthetically pleasing inside. Don't let that fool you though! I will say, I left the restaurant feeling unsatisfied and still wanted to eat which is not the best feeling... What we ordered: Original pork XLB: this was probably one of my favorite dish out of everything we had! The meat was super flavorful and it was juicy with soup. My only complaint is the dough/wrapper was a bit too thick for my taste. Panfried soup dumpling: probably the worst item on the menu that we tasted.... I'm not sure if they kneaded their dough too much but it was tough chewing into it and the meat wasn't as flavorful as the XLB. Salt&Pepper Fish: this was maybe the second worst item we tried.... The fish was tender but the breading on the fish tasted stale and had no seasoning. Beef Chowfun: it's really hard to mess up this dish but it was good! Probably my second favorite dish from everything we ordered. Overall experience: It was hard to flag down a waiter to take our order and we were sitting in the back of the restaurant next to the cashier. The food came out quick but the quality wasn't as expected. Not sure if I would try this place again as I feel there are better spots. Hoping they would improve on their dough as they make all their dumplings in house and sells them in frozen bags as well! read more

A small space but the bright interiors and large windows make the place feel a little less cramped. We were seated quickly and food came very quickly as well. We ordered: - pork, shrimp, and water chestnut XLB: skin was pretty good and good amount of soup inside. The water chestnut inside the meat mix was a nice contrast! - pan fried pork buns: good crispy bottoms and piping hot soup inside. The overall dough quality didn't seem quite as fresh but overall good. - garlic sautéed snow peas: very refreshing and good! Will add to our San Mateo rotation read more

*LOCATION* This small restaurant is in downtown San Mateo, surrounded by many other restaurants and shops. There is lots of street parking and parking garages nearby but don't forget to double check if you need to pay! *WAIT TIME* Hubby and I visited on a holiday Monday ~5:30pm. Since it was an early dinner, there were only a few tables filled inside. We were seated promptly. *FOOD* -Braised beef soup noodle: noodles weren't very chewy and beef was a lil tough, toppings weren't the traditional ones I was used to -Garlic string beans: most of the bean were small pieces, not sure if they were intentionally cut into halves or broken during cooking -Pan fried soup dumplings: inside filling was decent, not a lot of soup though, outer skin wasn't very chewy and not as "pan fried" crunchy/crispy as other places *SERVICE* Our waiter was quick to bring out our waters and take our order. Our food took a loooong time to come out even though there weren't that many tables. *AMBIENCE* The interior felt like a "nicer" asian restaurant since it was so bright and airy. I liked that there was a big window near the front door where you can see them making the fresh dumplings. read more

The food here was great, we got all of our food in a good timing matter. My friend and I love the place, it's super up to date and clean. The wait wasn't too long for a Friday night we waited about 10 minutes and we got the chance to watch them make the dumplings super cool! When we sat down we were greater and left with menus. We noticed we had to order with the QR code given at each table. Great we like that. We got all of our food with minimal checking in. When the place was getting ready to close, we were asked to close out early so they can close the register we were the last ones to sit and eat. They closed us out and I asked if we can use two cards they asked for one, great. When we paid, they walked away and we continued to finish our food. Not even 2 minutes goes by the lady comes back and tells us "the total does not include a tip" we said "yes we know" she continued to repeat herself again. We wanted to leave her a cash tip, but after we were done eating. Because of this comment she made me feel very uncomfortable after saying that and the two servers were hovering over us and over each other talking about us not leaving a tip. When leaving, they jumped up from where they were sitting and ran right over the table we were sitting at. With the comment she had made we would've left more but we did end up leaving $2 even though we felt it wasn't deserved. If I do go back it will be for take out and not dining in. read more
