Saturday Dumpling is a casual dumpling place with self-service kiosks for ordering. I appreciated the pink color scheme, but otherwise the inside felt cheaply configured. We got the pork-dill dumplings and the chicken-mushroom dumplings. Both were good, but nothing exceptional. Good dumplings aren't hard to come by, so the price point (about $2 per dumpling) didn't seem worth it.

I only got the szechaun chicken caesar sandwich, but wow I didn't think I would love it as much as I did. Very strong caesar and the chicken was perfectly breaded and not dry. The bread on the other hand was a little dry but that's okay I also got a little ginger scallion sauce on the side just incase. I think what was a bit of a miss was I was expecting something Szechuan to pop out at me but it was just a good caesar, nothing szechuan about it. Overall though I did really enjoy it and will be back again for it!

I have heard of this place and finally had a chance to check out the Northeast location. The bowl sounded good so I got the chicken bowl. All the flavors worked so well together and I really enjoyed it!

BELIEVE THE HYPE! While this spot has a small menu, the items are mighty. We ordered a bit of everything and were able to sit on the patio and enjoy a beautiful weekend evening. The service was prompt and the space was clean. Would recommend trying the dumplings (obvi) but also the dessert donuts! So delish!

Yummy!!! If you're looking for good dumplings, this is the spot! The sauce options are epic. I loved the chili oil it was slightly smokey which I enjoyed. It was dumpling day so I got the golden chicken curry dumplings, pork and cabbage dumplings and black sesame seed rice crispy bar. Everything was delicious. I'll be back!

The crispy chicken Caesar salad sandwich is out of this world yummy! Very enjoyable!

After seeing this place all over my tiktok, I knew we had to come try it!! This place was very good!! Definitely worth stoping in! There is paid parking outside but we found a spot fairly quickly. Inside you order on a tablet. They do have water that is free, otherwise it is cans for soda. The food came fairly quickly! The service we had was so fast, I can't even tell you if people here are friendly haha! They dropped our food off and were gone again! But we loved the fast service! The pizza dumplings were good, not great. They tasted like a fancier pizza roll. The sauce it came with was good though! The buffalo scallion pancake wrap was VERY good! The heat was there but still doable for this Minnesotan! The star of the show was the chicken Caesar salad sandwich. It was so tasty! The bread does kind of fall apart but who cares!? It was delicious!! Get a side of the sauce to dip it! We will be keeping our eye on this place for more collabs and delicious items!!

Pork rice bowl
Heather R.

This is likely an unpopular opinion, but felt Saturday Dumpling was just ok. The pork and cabbage dumplings lacked flavor, however they are packed with filling which is awesome! The chicken Caesar sandwich again was good but didn't quite get the hype. That said, the chicken is cooked perfectly. Nice and crunchy. The pork rice bowl was the most flavorful of the items we ordered. The place is cute with a sweet alley type patio. This is a perfect lunch spot and there is parking behind the building in a ramp with designated parking. I know this is the age we live in but ordering at a kiosk doesn't create a great first impression. Delivery of food was quick.

I had the special dumplings of the month, pork and dill. They were incredible, in-credible. I didn't know if I'd like all the accompaniments like the slaw, black sesame vinegar and pickles, but they were so good too! Trust the chefs here they know what they're doing! Cute space and patio too. I recommend ordering ahead if you're able/in a rush at all! There was surprisingly plenty of street parking at lunch time on a Wednesday. It was just shy of $20 for an 8 dumpling meal. I am sure the price is justified in the quality and flavors! That's the only star I'll take off though, because I was left wanting moreeee (overall, a good thing haha). A must visit! Their specials are also always changing and always enticing, even the non-dumplings!

Food: despite the name, there are more than dumplings! They have burritos, rice bowls, and veggie/vegan options. There are many sauce options to complement whatever you choose. As taboo and contrarian as this may seem, I wasn't a fan of the dumplings and the chicken bowl was underwhelming. There was a sauce I couldn't pinpoint in the bowl (I think it was supposed to be a green onion mix but it looked like mojo?) and the slaw mix tasted heavily of wasabi. Service: there is counter service, then you seat and clean up after yourself. Service was friendly and efficient. Ambiance: the vibe is inviting--modern, open concept, pink design, and natural light coming from its prime location on the corner of the block. Overall, I get the hype because it's a beautiful spot but the food is not up to par IMHO.

Red braised pulled pork burrito
Yenny H.

Got the red braised pulled pork burrito and the chicken and mushroom dumplings with a side of garlic chili aioli. I split them with my partner, and it was juicy and very filling!

Destiny H.

Finally made it for my first visit and the service was quick and easy, staff was friendly and the food was amazing! I came this evening for the Szechuan Chicken Caesar Sandwich because I heard it was the best and everyone was not wrong! This sandwich had great taste and the chicken was perfection! I could have easily shared since the sandwich was very filling. I can't wait to come back and try more menu options. The space was so clean and cute and felt super cozy right in the heart of NE Minneapolis. Can't recommend this space any more! Def make a trip here ASAP!!

Chicken Caesar sandwich

Great food for what it is- fast casual. This isn't a cheap meal, especially considering you order yourself (on a computer), take a plastic number, and then get your order, and you self-bus. The tables and chairs give Chipotle-level vibes so it's not a comfortable place that encourages you to linger. BUT the decor is cute and funky, and the food was great. Surprised myself by not ordering dumplings. The chicken caesar sandwich was just as good as everyone says- the warm, fresh-baked scallion foccacia was pillowy soft and the sesame crusted chicken was unexpectedly unique and delicious- a nice nuttiness. Added some hot chili oil on top and it was easy 10. The cumin fries were such a sleeper! I never would have ordered them but the other reviewers recommended them. Flavor profile was salty + sweet and a little smoky. They were hot and crisp. I couldn't stop eating them.

I knew that this place would be good from the menu and the pictures that I had seen but I have to be honest, I did not expect it to be this good! Got the chicken dumplings with a few of the sauces (garlic, sweet soy and an aioli) and lemme tell ya.. hit the spot. The dumplings were light, the chicken was well seasoned and had tons of flavor, the dumplings were super easy to eat and all in all just delicious. We also got the shredded pork bowl and O M G. The pork was tender, shredded, full of flavor, moist, and so delicious. The rice and the pickled veggies were also super lovely. For what we got, I think the prices were good, for 8 dumplings and the bowl it was $33 bucks which isn't bad at all. Nice sit down area, clean, right on Hennepin.. all in all, WILL BE BACK!

Overall: 3/5 This spot delivers solid burgers and chicken…read moresandwiches, but in a Twin Cities food scene packed with strong contenders, it doesn't quite rise above the crowd. The portions are generous, the ideas are there, and a few components really work-but the overall experience stops short of being especially memorable. It's the kind of place I'd be fine returning to if someone suggested it, but not one I'd find myself actively craving. Food [1.5/3] The food was good, just not distinctive enough to stand out among the plethora of burger and chicken sandwich options around the Twin Cities. The portions are definitely hearty, which helps make the meal feel satisfying, but several dishes could benefit from bolder seasoning and better balance. A little more acidity, sauce, or brightness would go a long way in cutting through the richness and giving each bite more personality. Bourbon Chicken Sandwich had a tasty glaze with a pronounced bourbon flavor and paired nicely with the pineapple slaw, which added a welcome hit of acidity and fruitiness against the heavier fried chicken. The bun was soft and lightly toasted, and the chicken portion was massive. That said, the chicken itself was under seasoned, leaving the unglazed bites fairly bland. The pineapple slaw was a great idea, but it was used so sparingly that its flavor only came through occasionally. The come back sauce was overlooked by the glaze. Burnt Chicken Sandwich followed a similar pattern: a very large piece of chicken, but not enough seasoning in the breading to carry the sandwich on its own. The herb mayo added some needed depth and helped elevate the flavor, but the layer was so thin that it got lost in larger bites. With a heavier hand on the sauce and seasoning, this could be much more compelling. When dipped into the side of aioli (cost extra), the flavor profiles were much better. Voodoo Smash Burger was overall underwhelming. The voodoo pepper sauce was easily the highlight and gave the burger a strong focal point, but the sautéed onions and comeback sauce were muted, and the smashed patty itself wasn't especially memorable. The first bite was decent, but the flavor didn't build or evolve, making the rest of the burger feel a bit flat. Service [0.5/1] The service was friendly, however, they were doing what seemed to be a midday clean and prep, which made the visit feel less polished. I also ordered a side of aioli for the fries and wasn't told there would be an additional charge. The cost itself wasn't a concern, but if a condiment carries an upcharge-especially one not listed on the menu-it should be mentioned before it shows up on the bill. Atmosphere/Ambiance [1/1] The space itself has a lot going for it. If you stop in for lunch on a Tuesday, you may catch some cleaning and prep activity, but setting that aside, the decor and ambiance are genuinely pleasant. It's cozy, well lit, and has a nicer feel than you might expect, especially for this part of the east metro. With a little more attention to the dining room experience and a stronger flavor punch in the food, this could be a much more memorable neighborhood stop.

Mac N Cheese had a good cheesy blend to it and a pretty good portion for the price. It's Family owned, down home kitchen vibe, that has a passion for Cajun/Creole and soul food fusion. They're looking at getting their liquor license, making seasonal changes with the menu, and doing some Brunch Service. This place will grow if you give them a chance. Give your taste buds a reward, and tell them JD Minneapolis sent you.

I split a chicken plate and the vegan bowl (plus a side of yuca) with my partner. I can't eat dairy, and it was easy finding items that fit my needs. The vegan bowl was to die for, I loved the mix of curry and pineapple (the best fruit, BTW), it all came together so well. The chicken plate as good too, especially the plantains, the rice and beans, and the sauce. The fried yuca was great too! Our server was great, super attentive. Prices are mid-range, it's not cheap, but the food is worth it. They have a small patio and a larger indoor dining room. All in all, a great spot in NE Minneapolis!

We sat outside on the patio and it had great ambiance with multi-colored string lights overhead. I had the chicken in gravy and he had the catfish sandwich and they were both phenomenal. We also had a side of grits which were great too. The server was very friendly and answered all of our questions. You are supposed to order on the QR code outside which is the only thing I would change because I think it's much quicker and easier to just order with your server. It took more of his time for me to order using the QR code because I had to ask him several questions about how to do it. But aside from that I loved this restaurant and will definitely be back soon!

Nice crispy bun and a special mustard sauce that we enjoyed and a different flavor I don't usually have on my burger Sticky Ribs - 5/10 Unfortunately these were quite dry and was comparing to sticky ribs I had last week at CoV that were fall off the bone Overall good spot, service, atmosphere, and would be happy to return.

Very reasonably priced, especially considering that they pay their employees a fair wage and they don't expect tipping (when paying with credit card, you don't even get a receipt with a tip line to sign). If you're dining in, you wait to be seated but can get a drink if there's a wait. They also do a substantial amount of takeout and catering orders. Baby/Kid Friendliness: 4.5/5. They have changing tables in the bathrooms (unisex). They have high chairs available, including the kind with an attached tray, which is great for smaller/shorter babies who are too short in a regular high chair to reach the dining table. No kid's menu, but you can easily order a selection of add-ons and sides to piece together a meal your kid will like. It is generally pretty loud with chatter, so no need to worry if your kid is a little noisy or talkative. Smothered Chicken Plate with Mac and Cheese (4/5) - the sauces are what make this dish - the cream gravy the chicken is smothered in and the red sauce on the side. The chicken was tender. The Mac and cheese was creamy and not too cheesy, which I liked. Roasted Pork Bowl (5/5) - I generally love pulled pork, so I loved this pork. The pork was very flavorful. Good variety of textures, like the tenderness of the pork contrasting the crispy onion strings. Overall a lot of flavor and each bite can taste a little different due to all the things in it. Fried Fish Bowl (5/5) - fried catfish added good crunch to an otherwise soft textured dish. The yams were delicious and the apple based sauce on top gave it extra depth of flavor. The pickled hot peppers are great if you like spice, but easy to avoid if you don't. My only wish was that the fried catfish was thicker cuts of catfish (you do get two strips though!). Coconut-Vanilla Pudding (3/5) - this is a liquidy type of pudding. Light coconut and vanilla flavor, but more of the flavor came from the fresh pineapple it was topped with.

It was a Sunday night, so I think she wanted to reserve tables for parties of two or more. I was fine with it, but I noticed there were quite a few empty tables.
