Did delivery this time and it was an improvement from my initial visit and perhaps it was better because I only had dumplings. The Crystal Shrimp Dumpling were very good as were the Vegetable Dumplings. I didn't care for the Shrimp Shu Mai and I've had these in their other locations and it just brings down the rating. The Shrimp Shu Mai have ground shrimp that is salty and imparts a bad flavor. When choosing carefully Serious Dumplings can be very good. read more

Pass on this place. This was a one and done and never return. Not clean. Not fresh and smells bad. Thats all you need to know

My two favorite food groups are dumplings and noodles. It was natural for me to fall in love with this place. What made it more special was seeing the dumplings be made right in front of us. The sanji were perfectly pan fried, fluffy and filled with savory, flavorful meat. The dumplings were also perfectly pan fried and chewy with a juicy filling. The noodles completed my meal, they were bouncy and filling. The service was great - both human and robot. And who could forget the cute decor... what a wonderfully joyous and yummy meal to share with a friend! read more

It's funny the name is called Serious Dumplings when your food is served by a robot, however, the food is quite serious... and delicious. The portions are ample to share. The restaurant is mostly self serve, you can order via QR code, food is delivered by a robot, you take your own plates, utensils and water from a central area. There are humans on site if help is needed. read more

Food: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Ambiance: 8/10 If you love dumplings, they have a variety from steamed to pan fried in chicken, shrimp, steak and pork/chives. You can also get soup dumplings in the same options in addition to crab/chicken. If you don't like dumplings there's also various stir fry, fried noodles, and fried rices with the same proteins. They also have a dozen different boba flavors and various teas. You won't be disappointed, especially when the robot brings your food lol. read more

Seriously good! This is on the top of my list for casual Chinese food. It blows away the tired menu's that we have become accustomed to. Their menu has a nice selection of dim-sum, soups, entrees, and milk teas, I stopped by for lunch and went with the Lychee Milk tea and beef fried noodles. The meal came out quickly with the cutest robot. She brought a smile to my face. Productive lil' robot too -- she was in and out of the kitchen at least 5 times in 2 minutes delivering people's plates. I'll definitely be back. This is a fun place to sample a variety of dim sum's. read more

I was super excited to try this place. I have conflicting feelings. The soup dumplings and sichuan chicken were great! I did wish the soup dumplings had more flavor inside but one of the best in town. The duck bao bun was actually not my favorite as it had a very strong sauce that overpowers the duck. We also got pork buns and they had 3 tiny pieces of pork in them. I have had them elsewhere before and they were nothing close to the other places. Will be back only for soup dumplings and the chicken dish. The robot is cool and the fact that all to go boxes were readily available for customers were great. read more

I loved the food here! My friend and I split cucumber salad, fried noodles with chicken, crystal shrimp dumplings, and Peking duck buns. I was happy with everything although the cucumber salad was kind of pricey for what it is. We also had the brown sugar boba with cheese foam. Delicious! read more

Food was very delicious. My girlfriend was very excited about the vegetable dumplings. I was excited for their soup dumplings which didn't disappoint. The service is self serve which I've noticed is everywhere in Florida. The place was a bit off compared to other Asian places. I felt like they could improve it a bit. I dont agree with a review that says that it is pricey. With all due respect if you can't afford to eat there then McDonalds is a 5 minute walk. This place reminds me of a place that is near my hometown back in Georgia. But for Florida i recommend this place. 10/10 read more

This place is so cute! I recently visited Serious Dumplings in Boca Raton. You can either order at the counter or from your table using a QR code, making it super convenient. The best part? A robot delivers your food right to your table. The dumplings were fresh & flavorful. There's no shortage of variety, so there's something for everyone to enjoy. To top it off, they also serve Boba. read more

New dumpling place opened up in Boca so I had to try it. The food was not bad, not as flavorful as I thought it would be. There's a cute robot that delivers your food to you. You sit down and scan a QR code and pretty much order from the table. Pretty simple, straight forward and efficient. Soup dumping - the consistency and soup was there but the flavor was lacking a little. Duck bao - not bad but had too much sauce on it. Overall 3 1/2 stars. The place is not bad! If you've never had soup dumplings before and you're in the area, give it a try! read more

I was beyond excited to try this place. It's too far from my apt to justify driving here for just this place but my new job is down the street so I guess I'll be here often. I did not enjoy the fact that I was unsure about how to be seated. Guy seemed annoyed to say "sit anywhere and use the QR code to order". That might be a lil difficult for less tech savvy individuals. Food came out by robot. The food was good yall. And very warm. You can tell it was made right there in house. Would've been nice to receive my Boba tea before my food came. Very quiet and spacious place. Not a huge place. It's located in a strip mall so it could fill very quickly. But the decor was very quirky and I loved it. I would definitely recommend coming earlier for a lunch than a dinner bc this place is good. read more

I would say it's 3.75 stars. We eat here at least every other week. It's very fast, and the food is reliably good. Decent sized portions. The only reason for almost 4 stars is that the ambiance is more like a cafeteria, and a little robot brings your food out on a tray. So there really is no "service" experience. But I would recommend it for a quick bite! read more

I have been seeing videos all over Instagram of this restaurant! I had been dying to get there and finally asked a friend to go with me. The restaurant itself is tucked in a shopping plaza, in an older building that needs a little love. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and told to pick a table. There are QR codes in every booth that you use to see the menu, place your order, and pay. I found this highly efficient, but it may be difficult for a less tech savvy person. My friend and I ordered the char shu Bao buns, shrimp shu mai, crab and pork soup dumplings, and a plate of chicken fried rice to share. That brought the bill to about $45. The menu is very user friendly with pictures and descriptions through the QR code. My favorite part about this entire adventure was that our server was a robot! Check out the video that I uploaded to this review. The robot comes directly to your table, instructs you to take off the food from whatever level of trays, and then says "it has to get back to the kitchen and bye-bye"! Not only was it cute, but you don't have to tip a robot, lol. There are a few sauces on your table, and paper plates / bowls available in case you really want to sauce the food up. I loved the soup dumplings. The flavor was great, they were perfectly cooked, and delicious. The chicken fried rice was really on point, and it made us wish that we had purchased our own plates instead of sharing. I was not a big fan of the shrimp shu mai as it was very fishy tasting. It was very off-putting. And the pork buns were absolutely divine! Perfectly seasoned, in a light and fluffy bun! I found the ladies restroom very concerning. There was a drain on the floor that was depressed about an inch and a half that I tripped on. I think it's definitely a hazard for the restaurant if an older person with a walker or cane were to enter, and I hope they take care of that soon. Overall the food was good, and I'm always excited about a kitchy thing like a robot! I definitely would go back and try some more things! If you're looking for a fun evening, give this place a shot! read more

We enjoy Dumplings so when my wife spotted a new place in West Boca on Glades Road we decided to stop for lunch. Having been open for lunch just fifteen minutes, the place was filling fast so I grabbed a booth while my wife placed our order at the counter. I had the Pork won ton with chili sauce appetizer, which was good but arrived, by Robot, luke warm. We shared an order of the Crystal Shrimp dumplings which needed some help of my chili sauce. They make the dumplings in house and you can watch them prepare the dumpling dough balls in a glass enclosure adjacent to the cash register. As we were waiting for our food I got to watch two employees cutting the dough and sorting dough balls. One of the balls dropped to the floor and was quickly picked up and placed on the tray... (well within the 5 second rule). read more

We came here for lunch on a Friday afternoon. This spot has been several other restaurants, so we were familiar with the location. There's ample free parking in the lots nearby. The restaurant is small with booths lining each wall. You order and pay at the counter, or you can order and pay from a booth using the QR code. Each booth is numbered. Your food is delivered to you via a robot. There are two other locations in North Miami and in Davie. The concept is cute. And the food we had was good, but not great. In addition to the various dim sum and dumplings, they have appetizers, noodle and rice dishes, and specialty drinks including milk and green teas. Unfortunately, some of our favorites are not on their list. And some of the items on the menu are not available (or weren't the day we came, e.g. pan-fried shrimp dumplings). And it does take a while to get your food, especially as they were quite busy when we came -- even though it was right as they were opening. We decided to order a few things. One each for us; and one to share. My husband got their pork wonton with chili sauce appetizer. He said it was good but would have been better if served hotter in temperature. I got their steamed chashu pork buns. They were slightly sweet and doughy and stuffed with small pork pieces, but the insides had no real flavor. They were okay -- again not hot enough. To share, we ordered their crystal shrimp dumplings. They were fine. The thin dough is see through and the shrimp was the main flavor. It benefited from some of the sauce on his appetizer. This reminded me of a fast-food version of an authentic Chinese dim sum restaurant. Like I said, it's okay for what it is. And if you haven't ever had dim sum, you might like to try it. Kids might enjoy seeing the robot. There may be better things to order than what we got that are on their menu. And we might come back to try a few other items if in the area, but we certainly wouldn't drive out of our way to come here. read more

This was terrible. Abnormally bad. Firstly, the atmosphere is not remotely friendly, you just sit down and order on mobile. You have to sign up on the website you got the QR code from to even finish an order , so might as well stand up and go to the front with the cashier to make your order before sitting back down. They don't have anyone serving you so you need to pick up your own paper plates, plastic cup, napkins and utensils like you're some plebeian at a potluck. You will not be asked how is the food or if there's anything they can make your experience less deplorable. Extremely different atmosphere than the Coral Springs location. The one at Coral Springs you're treated like you're at an actual restaurant with adequate service, there was actual wait time to sit down and eat there because people actually want to eat there. The Boca Raton location on the other hand , doesn't have any wait time and I can totally see why. We ordered sesame chicken (with rice), bok choy, cucumber salad, steamed pork dumplings (8 pieces), crystal shrimp dumplings (6 pieces), and steamed pork buns (3 pieces). Totaled up to 63 bucks. Compared to a regular dimsum - this was grossly overpriced for the quantity and especially quality you get. I only took a single picture of the first three items listed because of how visually egregious this was. The best items were the dumplings and buns because honestly - they were probably not made by these people and just heated up in some way. So let's talk about what they did make to some meaningful capacity. Chicken was essentially vague glued chicken nuggets drenched in a sauce that did not taste remotely like sesame - just weirdly tangy. Didn't try the rice , could've been the best thing there but I'll never know now. The Bokchoy was alright , it was just cooked with a very watery soy sauce and questionably cut garlic pieces- which tells me whoever is cooking does not know what they're doing. Last not but not least is the cucumber salad. Oh my God..... absolutely disgusting. Shriveled and old cucumber was used, as you can see. The marination? It does not exist just like the service of this establishment. They just threw this on top of some sugary sauce. The flavor of whatever sauce this is oyster sauce or some grossly sweet slight savory syrup . There was NO ginger, garlic, sesame seeds, sesame oil, chili flakes/oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar - basically almost anything that would qualify this to be a legit cucumber salad. Just basically a feeble borderline rotten cucumber with random poorly cut pieces of RED onion (???) and God knows what sauce sitting in the bottom. The chili oil that is on the table consisted of black burnt remnants of debris with oil- it had absolutely NO spice or kick to it- I absolutely have no idea what the hell is wrong with this place. We had a robot roll by to deliver our dishes and roll away once we picked them up. Unfortunately after this visit , I'm probably not even gonna bother ever going back to Serious Sanji at any capacity because this was abhorrent. I personally do not see this specific location surviving in Boca Raton for very long. I'll continue making an approximately 30 minute commute in order to enjoy an actual dimsum place that has decent service, justified pricing and authentic food. read more

This place os dirty and gross. I wouldn't EVER return.... came twice and both times we walked out after several minutes with no service. There was an hour and a half left before close and at least ten dirty (full of old food) tables. We had to sit by the very back. I tried to load their menu and order and you had to go thru so much i walked out. Id rather go anywhere but this place to eat! read more

Fun gimmick: you can pull up the menu and order at your table using the posted QR code at your table/booth, and the server will bring your drinks and a robot brings your dim-sum selections. Small kids seem thrilled by it, and so was I, tbh. The robot has a couple of pre-programmed fun and snarky quips it uses when dropping off your order, leaving your table, or if the kids get too excited and stand between it and the table. The dishes were pretty good, some a bit better than others (e.g., the Har Gao Crystal Shrimp dumplings tasted like overly salted chopped fish, whereas the steamed custard buns were ludicrously delicious). Food: mostly hits, a few misses Price per quality: teas were $5-$6, dishes were $6.50-$8.75, it adds up fast (we spent $89 for 9 selections and 3 teas) Service: it's a robot, so, kinda fun, and only took 10 minutes from order to table, but you get your own cutlery/chopsticks, etc. Ambiance: small joint, clean-ish, booth benches are as hard as hard gets, nothing special Drinks: every boba green tea you can think of, though the brown sugar boba seemed like agar rather than tapioca, and the thin plastic cups seem a bit small volume read more

Important: This is a self service establishment, however you will need to wait to request a table. Ordering is via QR code on the wall, scan with your phone to place your order and check out. A service robot will bring your food. All utensils, plates, water, to-go containers are at a service station in the center of the restaurant. You eat and leave, someone picks up your dirty plates. This restaurant was packed when we arrived at 1:30 on Sunday. Our wait time was 1 hour, I guess social media really helped this place take off. As mentioned in the beginning, this is a self service restaurant, but you're not told this when you finally get seated. You might sit and wait for a server but then eventually find a 4x4" card on the wall that says "Scan to order". You place your order and check out, save your receipt via screenshot unless you created an account. The reason I say this is because if you ordered a bunch of food, you may not remember if they missed an order. The food was mediocre, some were better than others. My favorite were the chili wontons (not spicy at all) and the pork pan-fried dumplings followed up by the shrimp dumplings and pork soup dumplings. A single robot making runs isn't efficient, especially when it stops to sing happy birthday while other patrons food is sitting waiting to be served. The line is too long and they have space for more seating. They need actual servers to run out the food so they can get customers in and out. Would I come back and wait 30-60 min for a table again? Probably not. Maybe once the hype dies down. read more

I've been seeing videos about Serious Dumplings on Instagram for quite some time and finally decided to try it out! We were warmly welcomed in and seated. To access the menu and order, you scan a QR code on the same wall that displays your table number (you're also given physical menus). You can either order through the QR code or at the counter. You order and pay at the same time and then a robot brings you your food. We ordered the BBQ Pork Buns which were great. 3 really big soft and pillowy buns with a good amount of pork. The pork and chive pan fried dumplings were probably my favorite. Shang Hai soup dumplings are a classic. Not insanely hot either to the point where the soup burns your mouth. The pork and shrimp shumai were good, but couldn't really taste the pork, was more shrimp heavy. And finally the chicken fried noodle was fantastic. Good amount of chicken and veggies. With everything we ordered, plus 2 diet cokes, the total came to $64.48. Some items are definitely pricey. I really wanted the garlic green beans, but it was another $12 on top of what we had already ordered...for green beans? How's that more expensive than a dish with meat in it? Overall, I would definitely come back. It was tasty, the food comes out fresh and fast and I loved the giant ramekin of chili oil on the table. read more

Friday night at 7:30pm and busy busy busy. Waited an hour for our food after placing the order. For this place to be fairly new, it looks a little dirty inside. Maybe from all of the traffic. The walls are scratched up, the floors are dingy, and hand painted murals painted on the wall look old. Ok enough of the bad stuff because THE FOOD IS AWESOME, DELICIOUS, TASTY and AFFORDABLE. We ordered via the QR code that's on the table as there are no servers in here other than a robot. YES A ROBOT!!! We have been back, on a Wednesday before 5pm, and that time they were out of most of the food we ordered the first time. I guess if it's not dumplings or fried rice the food is prepackaged because the mouth watering chicken, chicken feet, and other faves were "SOLD OUT!" Our faves are the pork pan fried dumplings and the MOUTH WATERING CHICKEN!!! We had the pork and chives pan fried dumpling but not again. They were ok. The Szechuan spicy chicken was prepackaged and hard and DRY, won't get that again. Everything else we've tried was good. ALSO the Thai Tea was good read more

Came here at 6:30pm and it was packed! The robotic food delivery was instagramable for those who aren't used to it but honestly the restaurant is a bit small to have multiple robots AND customers getting up to grab their own silverware. Maybe place the silverware on table to avoid crowding? Anyway....food was ok for Asian food in South Florida. The dumplings were not made fresh. Coming from San Francisco I would have to say I could probably go to a local Asian supermarket and get the same ones that were served to me tonight String beans and house fried rice were decent. Noodles had a piece of an egg shell so I showed the manager and got refunded ‍ I guess the best bites were the Bao buns? A little ironic that this place is called Serious Dumpling when they are literally serving frozen dumplings? However, adjusted for Florida this place is a 3. read more

I wanted to give this a higher rating but the food overall was not as authentic as it should be. I was so excited to have a XLB restaurant open in Palm Beach! Unheard of. Brought my mom here and our family isn't an expert but we are close to it to say that the soup dumplings are not great. It's good enough for this area though. This restaurant is a self service restaurant. With that said, there is no service except for a robot who delivers your food to your table. Nice casual concept. Possibly eliminates tipping but we still left a tip on the table for the person who cleaned our table. We had a party of 7 and we ordered about $200 worth of food and drinks. The boba tea business seem to be doing really well here. Lots of people coming in just for a boba tea. We ordered 6 drinks and were all pleased with the taste. They had us order over our cell phone and they would deliver it to our table when the drink was ready. We also ordered our food this way. We tried a few items off their menu and I would say my favorite item would be the pork and chives dumplings. Those were delicious. We also liked the scallion pancakes. Those were pretty close to authentic. What we didn't like were some of the dimsum items. They did hit the table fairly quickly so that was pleasing. The shumai arrived and it looks terrible. The beef noodle soup tastes exactly like this one Taiwanese instant ramen packet that costs $0.70. The beef inside was tough. The eggs not flavored. The soup dumplings were thick and did not have enough soup inside. Would we come back? Perhaps. Is it absolutely delicious? No. read more

It's a busy place, customer keeps coming in throughout the night. Cashier is pleasant and we can also order from our phone. Food comes out in timely manner by the robot. We had the Shang Hai Soup Dumplings which actually has soup inside the dumplings! Crispy chicken has a crispy crunchy coating outside, taste pretty good. Beef noodle soup is not disappointing. Pan fried beef dumplings nice and hot and crispy serve with tasty tangy sauce. Taro boba tea is satisfying. Overall food quality is not bad. read more

Order on Uber Eats regularly, the spicy shrimp ramen is fantastic. Dumplings also very good

Okay we did return. I was dragged here. It's hard to know how to rate this place. Zero service, zero ambiance, difficult parking. Tonight (a Monday evening at 6 PM) the place was not busy. You can order from your iPhone at your table, but I hate doing this. There are no menus available at the table. So you order from a desk where you walk in and pay at the same time. McDonald's is more user friendly. The food: The vegetable fried rice was actually okay. We also had some fried buns which were also fine. So I would give the food 3 stars. Nevertheless, I see no need to ever return. read more

Cute restaurant, very cool how the robot brings your food to the table! They seem to be a bit understaffed - just one girl taking orders and another making the dumplings up front. The fried pork gyoza and shrimp shumai were fine, but nothing special. The vanilla boba tea was good. The grilled chicken skewers were not good - they looked like thigh not breast and the texture was rubbery and off. Cute place to come once for the experience, definitely fun for the kiddos also. read more
