MY Dumpling - Chinese Near Me - San Mateo, California

Hands down the BEST soup dumplings in town! If you're a fan of soup dumplings, look no further--this place is a game-changer. From the moment you bite into the delicate dumpling skin, you're met with a burst of savory, flavorful broth that's perfectly balanced.

The service is friendly and fast, and the ambiance is casual yet comfortable. Whether you're a soup dumpling aficionado or a newbie, this spot is an absolute must-try. I honestly can't recommend it enough! Pro tip: Definitely order the soup dumplings as soon as you sit down--they're that good. read more

My family is from Taiwan. I took my mother there for lunch. She said that the food is authentic, delicious, and reminded her of a restaurant in Taipei (ambiance). The server was busy but amazingly attentive! We ordered the soup dumplings, pan fried bao, and a bunch of veggie dishes. We will be back! read more

Wtf! Why is this place so good?? Was randomly in the area and wanted some xiao long bao. Saw this place popped up and I never heard of it so we decided to try it. Hands down, one of the best XLB/dimpling place in the Bay Area. Better than my previous favorite which is Bings or din dings in Fremont. Their XLB had plenty of soup and never broke or leaked. Pan fried dumping was fluffy, crispy, and juicy. Green onion pancake was so crispy. Decor was simple and bright. Staff was friendly. Food was bomb! Absolutely will come again. read more

Another place for dumplings and noodles in downtown San Mateo. If Ox 9 has a long wait for a table check out My Dumpling. They have their version of hand pulled noodles and other foods here like dumplings. The price is reasonable. Got the braised beef noodles and it was delicious. The noodles were chewy. The beef was very tender. The broth was very flavorful and rich. Not recommend to get the spicy beef noodles. That was definitely spicy with Sichuan pepper. I think it was slight over kill as you can't taste the broth anymore. The dumplings skins were thin. You can also buy their dumplings to cook at home if you like. Plenty of tables and not a long wait. Food comes out pretty quick read more

MY Dumpling - Chinese Near Me - San Mateo, California

During my first visit to Kajiken on the first of November, 2024, waiting in line outside, MY Dumpling caught my attention. I walked in, checked out their menu, and immediately knew that I had to try this place out. Exactly two months later, we (Mom, the kids, and me) made it here, for New Year's, 2025 dinner. Venue: 4 stars. Located in downtown San Mateo on B Street, MY Dumpling does not have a parking lot, but there are plenty of spaces in the neighbouring streets as well as garages in walking distance. We easily found parking just about two blocks away. We arrived shortly after 5:15 PM to the small restaurant (Maximum occupancy must be around 80 persons) with many available tables, so were seated almost immediately at the table of our choice. The venue was brightly lit and tidy. Even the single restroom was fairly clean. Food: 4.75 stars. Below are the items that we ordered, most of which were enjoyed by everyone in our party. Original Pork Soup Dumpling (6) ($12.95) - We started off with two orders of these xiao long bao to share between four people. They were a hit with us, so we ended up ordering two more lots of six pieces each. Garlic Pea Shoots ($18.95) - These greens tasted fresh and perfectly seasoned. Beef Chow Fun ($13.95) - This chewy noodle dish was very nice. Even the boys liked it...and they very rarely eat Asian noodles. General Tso's Chicken ($13.95) - DELISH! The fried pieces of chicken had a great crunch and were packed with flavour. The addition of broccoli florets were a nice touch. Another favourite, we ordered an additional plate of this. Pork & Shrimp Wonton Soup Noodle ($15.95) - MY Dumpling's version of wonton soup gives generous amounts of dumplings and veggies. This was a nice, flavourful bowl that we shared. With a good balance of meat and vegetables, this soup could be served as a complete meal for one. Pan Fried Soup Dumpling (6) ($13.95) - Although there was broth inside, these seemed more like mini pork buns. This was the unpopular dish of the night, especially for Mom, Cielo, and me. Crispy Eggplant ($13.95) - Yummy! Probably THE BEST Chinese eggplant dish in the Bay Area. YAY! Free hot tea is served here!! The total for our bill before tip came out to be $186.81 for twelve dishes and complimentary hot tea which I found to be reasonable. Service: 3 stars. Placing orders at the table is via QR Code, so service is down to a waiter or waitress just serving food and drink to you. Call me old fashioned, but I prefer the traditional way of placing orders with a person whom you can ask questions and/or make specifications on your dishes. We also had to flag someone down to ask for our teapot to be topped off with hot water when we wanted more tea - they did not automatically do so when we opened the lid to signal for more hot water. By the time we were leaving the restaurant, the dining room was packed. We had a great first impression of MY Dumpling. We will definitely return - I have got my eye on the Orange Chicken and Sweet Soy Milk for my next visit! read more

First of all, the store is very clean and bright which makes people comfortable. Also their plates are nice too. We ordered 3 dishes. The beef chow fun is ok, nothing to be picky about but just a bit oily. The string beans are a little old but they use lots of onions and Chinese pickles in it which makes it different than the regular ones. What i like the most is the pork xiaolong bao. It contains a lot of juice inside and the meat is fresh! Highly recommend it. read more

Grabbed a quick lunch with DS at this new spot--well, new to us. A friend recommended it, and we weren't super hungry, so we just tried two things: the pan-fried soup dumplings and the pork & shrimp with water chestnuts soup dumplings. Both were piping hot, flavorful, and not greasy at all. Really enjoyed it! Can't wait to come back with a bigger group to try more. 5/5, highly recommend. read more

We popped in here for lunch on a Friday afternoon and were seated right away. We're giving complimentary tea but you can ask for water. We ordered the original soup dumplings, beef chow fun, chili oil pig ear, egg yolk bun, and the molten lave buns! Everything is priced pretty decently for a dumpling/dim sum establishment. The soup dumplings were delicious! The soup and meat were both flavorful. The beef chow fun was also delicious but quite oily. The chili oil pig ear was a great appetizer but it didn't have that numbing spice flavor that I'm used to for this dish. The molten lava buns were so yummy, the salted egg yolk filling oozed out. read more

This might be one of the best spots for Xiao Long Bao (XLB) in the Bay Area. The soup dumplings had delicate, thin skins but not too thin that it'd break upon picking up with chopsticks. The cucumber appetizer was generously seasoned with garlic, which might not be for everyone, but garlic lovers will rejoice. The boiled dumplings were as expected, but I was slightly disappointed with the pan-fried dumplings. The skin felt a bit doughy and dry, and there wasn't much soup inside. The restaurant was quite busy during lunch time. The QR code for ordering seemed to be experiencing some technical difficulties during our visit. Hopefully, they'll resolve the issues soon to provide a more seamless experience. Regardless, I'll likely be back for the XLB again. read more

MY Dumpling - Pan fried dumplings - Chinese Near Me - San Mateo, California

MY Dumpling has taken over what was previously Old Town Sushi (RIP to their legendary California roll - iykyk :) and unfortunately did not measure up to other dumpling spots in the area. The first thing that stood out was the pricing - most dishes, including appetizers, ranged from $12-$15+, which felt steep. We tried the chili oil pig ears, dumpling with pork, shrimp, and green chives, original pork soup dumplings, and the pan fried soup dumplings. While everything tasted fine, it didn't wow me. In my opinion, the dumplings had too much chive which overpowered the pork and shrimp. Overall, our meal didn't feel worth the premium price. If I'm craving dumplings and noodles, I'd probably make the trip to Sunset or Yuanbao Jiaozi in Millbrae for a more satisfying experience. read more

I had slightly higher expectation for this place, based on the popularity, location, look and feel, hence my lower rated review. I would come back, but it's not a place I'd go out of my way unless I was really really craving some XLBs. We got the standard XLBs, pan fried soup dumplings, Mongolian Beef and General Tso's Chicken. The XLBs were the run of the mill ones, I enjoyed them, but I expected a bit more for a place that highlights this dish. The savoriness of the soup was a bit lacking. But I would order them again. The pan fried soup dumplings meanwhile, I would not order again. They were incredibly doughy and there was barely any soup. It ate more like a savory pastry. And lacking flavor, just a lot of dough. The Mongolian Beef was good but the beef was really chewy and it was spicier than I expected. There was just a pool of red sauce on the plate after. The General Tso's Chicken was really good, tons of batter but it was tasty and well fried. Though it just gave me Panda vibes, but not complaining. So I would come back for a few select dishes, but it's not a place I would go out of my way for or highly recommend to others. Service was incredibly friendly so that was a plus. read more

MY Dumpling - General Tso's Chicken - tons of crunch and flavor, definitely recommend this one! - Chinese Near Me - San Mateo, California

Lives up to its moniker by offering range of dumplings! We tried the OG pork soup dumplings as well the pork corn dumplings and cheese corn dumplings! All were decent but some items like the 6 piece dumplings were a bit pricey vs others like Dough Zone and even Din Tai Fung (priced on a $/dumpling basis). In general, the prices seemed a bit high like the green onion pancakes were $10 for relatively small portion and essentially double the price of Dough Zone nearby. On a positive note, the service was very friendly! Smiles and courteous throughout. Ordering is via QR code so we don't have to wait for the team to take an order and the food arrived quite promptly! The restaurant is also new and the interior is quite nicely decorated. I loved the attention to detail in branding "My Dumpling" on the chopstick holders and teapot. Overall, food is decent but mediocre and there's a lot of tough competition in downtown San Mateo that offer similar items for comparable or better taste and definitely better price/value. read more

It's a restaurant but we didn't dine in, just order some frozen dumplings to go. The frozen dumplings are decent but it's very overpriced, it's $15 for less than a lb of dumplings, they are decent just nothing special. I probably won't get them again for this reason. read more

MY Dumpling - 4. Frozen Dumpling With Pork & Green Chives (18Pcs) 4. (18Pcs) - Chinese Near Me - San Mateo, California

A yummy addition to the San Mateo food scene! You order via a QR code on the table. The restaurant is newly renovated and clean. The space is bright. It has mostly 2-4 person tables so I can see it being tough for larger groups. We got the Original Pork Soup Dumplings, Cantonese Style Shrimp Dumplings, and the Egg Drop Seaweed Soup. The dumpling wrappers overall were very thin so the dough is not overtaking any dumplings. The filling of the pork soup dumpling had a lot of flavor. The shrimp dumpling was more of a shrimp ball rather than actual shrimp so it didn't have much shrimp flavor to me. The egg drop seaweed soup came exactly as it sounds, and had what I think are mixed frozen veggies (peas, carrots, corn) in it. So it was super simple and not too exciting. It was a quick addition and filled the spot since it was a cold day. read more

We really like coming to this place and the environment is nice and comfortable. However, this time the food quality was very inconsistent. We ordered several dishes. Some dishes were okay, but others did not taste right compared to our previous visits. We informed the waiter about the issue, but unfortunately our feedback was not accepted and nothing was done about it. That was disappointing, especially since we were not trying to complain, just hoping they would acknowledge the problem. Good atmosphere, but inconsistent food and poor handling of customer feedback made this visit disappointing. read more

Simple, but delicious. Recommended for a quick meal with family/friends. Soup dumpling(小籠包）is highly recommended.

We were strolling around DT San Mateo on a Friday night and saw a bunch of people waiting outside and decided to try! It used to be old town sushi but they've transformed the inside completely with bright lights and a fresh paint job. There were so many items on the menu we wanted to try but since it was only the two of us we opted for the Beef noodle soup, Tomato beef noodle soup XLB, and Mini pan fried XLB. The soups were both very flavorful and they were very generous with the meat although some pieces in my bowl were tough. The steamed XLB were filled with soup, the outside wrapper was thin to perfection, and had a good amount of meat inside. The mini pan fried XLB were perfectly bite-sized and we had no problem polishing off all 12 of them. My only complaint would be the reusable wooden chopsticks. Tried to pick out a clean pair but a bunch had tiny dark spots on it, possibly mold? The table next to us ordered some sort of fried fish and garlic eggplant. Will def try those next time it looked so good! read more

I was disappointed by the dumpling dough. We ordered the pan fried pork dumpling that they are known for. The dough on top was too gummy as well as too thick. Even though the bottom was crisp, it was too thick. There are photos of the pan fried pork dumplings on their website. Their dry fried green beans were okay. Some were good but others were older green beans for people who know what I'm talking about! There was only one server for the entire restaurant. Ambiance was casual dining. The food was good, but everyone has different tastes. I did eat here with friends. My only hope is that the feedback is helpful so that this restaurant can always improve. read more

This is a new place in the area and my in laws were in town so they decided to try this place. Lunch here probably is better than dinner since their menu for dim sum and their portions are quite small. Not good portions for family style in my opinion. We came here during dinner on Tuesday around 6:30. Didn't have to wait to be seated which was nice as a lot of people mentioned the service is not good. I wouldn't suggest going here with more than 4 people since the table and space here is small but they can accommodate small kids if you bring kids. What we ordered: Pan fried soup dumpling Dumpling with pork and chives Combo fried rice Beef chow fun Dan Dan noodles Green onion sauce noodle Marinated beef pancake roll We had to order more since the portions were small. There was 6 adults and 2 kids. The pan fried dumpling and reg dumplings were good. Everything else was very disappointing. They are bland as well. I wouldn't suggest ordering the Dan Dan noodles because it was over cooked so the noodles were very mushy. Apparently other yelpers had the same comment. The green onion sauce noodle was also underwhelming. No flavor of green onion and it tasted like it was just stir fried with soy sauce. The combo rice and chow fun were bland. No comment really for those. The marinated beef pancake roll had no taste and the beef didn't taste like it was marinated either. I would only come back for the dumplings. I would pass with everything else. read more

The dumplings were great! I guess if you go to a place called MY dumpling, you should mostly order dumplings. We ordered assorted dumplings - seafood, vegetarian, pork, soup...they were all good! The only dish I didn't love was the fried eggplant. It was syrupy sweet. But all my coworkers loved it, so maybe it was a me thing. Service was great. They seated is immediately, kept our drinks refilled, and were very friendly. read more

Food mediocre. Service kind of slow but nice people. Clean restaurant and seating though. Came at 1:30PM on a Saturday, they were super busy. Full house, a few parties waiting. Saw a girl tell a waiter that she's been waiting for a bit - she was a party of one but I actually watched them skip over her again Luckily she spoke up and said something though, she got seated shortly after. When we got seated, we ordered pretty much right away. Our food started to come out like 3 minutes later. The dan dan noodle had good flavor but it was extremely oily and the noodles were overcooked so it was a pretty mushy dish. The pan fried dumplings were okay - not much soup inside but the flavor was fine. The pork was great and the green onion pancakes were okay. Looked crispier than they were. Overall, kind of mediocre and wouldn't really come back for anything since nothing was special. read more

I was sooo excited for a new dumpling spot in San Mateo because we usually travel to SF or south for standout dumplings. We came on a Saturday afternoon and it was packed but we managed to get in without a wait. Initially the staff was attentive but unfortunately the pleasant experience ended there. After seeing other people being seated after us and getting their food, we called over a waitress because we hadn't gotten a single dish from our order in 40 minutes. Turns out they had lost our order and we waited an additional 20 minutes before our food eventually started coming out. I thought about leaving but we were so hungry at that point and just hoping the food would come out soon. While the food was decent, it did not wow me. The spicy wontons were pretty bland but the additional chili oil on the side helped. I usually expect spicy wontons to be packed with flavor (for example the ones at DTF or Ox 9) but these were the la croix of spicy wontons. The dumpling skins had a nice texture but again I felt like the flavor was just a bit lacking. The sheng jian baos were the best out of the three but I still think I like the ones at Special Noodle more. Those were more flavorful. Overall, the food was not good enough to make up for the subpar experience and long wait times. The staff were apologetic so I hope that it was just a fluke from them being newly opened and that the experience and service improves as they gather their bearings. read more

Came here for dinner on Saturday after seeing the long lines everywhere else and was pleasantly surprised! First off, the decorations and style is so cute here, from the wall pictures, down to the plate and cups designs-- everything was so cute. For the food, we ordered a steamed dumpling, xlb, popcorn chicken, and egg drop soup with seaweed (which really should be seaweed soup with eggs). Taste wise, everything was great and tasted fresh and homemade. read more

My BFF and I decided to try My Dumpling in San Mateo--a new spot that's clean and cute. I always order dandan noodles at every Chinese restaurant I go to, and I've probably tried every version available in San Mateo. So of course I had to try them here too... unfortunately, they were completely bland and the portion was tiny for $15.95. We also shared the Dumpling with Pork, Shrimp & Green Chives ($14.95), which was tasty but definitely overpriced for what you get. What really left a sour taste, though, was the service. We were one of only two non-Asian tables in the restaurant and noticed that every other table was automatically brought a small dish of sauce. Not us--no explanation, no offer, just nothing. The waiter didn't greet us, didn't smile, didn't refill our water, and only appeared to drop off the food and then the check. It felt like we were merely tolerated, not welcomed. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back, read more

This was an excellent backup plan on a rainy day! I was so glad they are kid-friendly and had high chairs with attached tables. Our default items are Chinese restaurants are beef chow fun and general Tso chicken, and theirs are the best we've ever had. Chow fun had that charred wok flavor and the general tso was perfectly crispy, and not too sweet, not too spicy either. Their XLBs are amazing. The soup was so tasty; we ended up ordering 4 baskets. Also had the mini pan friend pork buns which were soupy and delicious. read more

Amazing food and great customer service! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel very welcome. The dumplings were absolutely delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked.

He was extremely friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect for us. His service really made the experience even better. The atmosphere was nice and comfortable, and everything came out quickly. It's definitely a place I would recommend to anyone who loves dumplings or good Asian food in general. read more

Amazing crab roe soup dumplings, The best dumpling I ever had! This restaurant is modern and clean, staffs were pleasant and efficient. I also love the pan fried soup dumplings (the big one), be very careful with hot broth, they took quite a while to cool off. the boiled dumplings have thick wrappers which was a little disappointing but still very fresh and tasty. Their soup noodles also very good, broths were rich and tasty. Their Basil eggplants were sooo delicious! I went the twice in two days, just love this place, great pricing too! Highly recommended! I'm going back today! read more

I've been here a few times now, always a solid spot in downtown San Mateo when I'm craving dumplings. Relatively small space with a window to watch them make fresh dumplings. I like their mini pan fried pork buns, pork xiao long bao, and beef pancake the most. Their house made soy milk is also a must-order every time. Expect a short wait on the weekends. No wait on weekdays. Affordable and good lunch option especially when there are way too many options in San Mateo. read more
