    xlb, back to rpm to watch fiba final spain versus argentina. Couldn't pass up the chance to get xlb at soup dumpling house again! Their consistency will have me coming back asap. For people that are not used to eating soup dumplings when they are hot, learn how to because once they reach room temperature the skin is no longer a consistency that is required to appreciate the dumpling, also learn how to develop asbestos mouth, the soup on the inside of the dumpling will be hot but not scalding, it's a learning curve for people unfamiliar with eating a dumpling with very hot soup to get used to eating them right.

    Traditional pork soup dumplings

    Oh my goodness - finally an authentic and fresh soup dumpling restaurant in Reno! Woot woot! First off, I love that this is a family run business and you can see them making the dumplings fresh in front of you - so neat! I know it may seem pricey but it's worth it when you're getting delicious, freshly hand made dumplings! We got the classic pork steam soup dumplings, shrimp pork & chive dumplings, and beef & onion potstickers. We loved ALL of the things we ordered. The meat inside was seasoned well and paired nicely with the spicy chili oil they have. Also, the potstickers are HUGE and were nice and crispy on the outside. We really enjoyed this place and can't wait to come back and try some of their other things. The lady who helped us with our order was very kind and the service was pretty quick. Definitely worth stopping by here and trying it out!

    Delicious and soupy filled pork xiao long bao. My go to in Reno! Located in the Reno public market.

    I've travelled far and wide for soup dumplings and I'm just going to say that these were perhaps my favorite. The smallest of critiques could be made but hardly worth noting. The wrappers were perfect. That's in and of itself a tall order. Full of broth and unctuous meat filling. Just a tad of sauce offered but honestly the perfect amount. The dumplings were full of broth and I could not have been more excited to experience this place. I got there right as they opened and pretty sure their first customer of the day. It was spontaneous drop in and frankly the highlight of my day! The two ladies rolling dumpling wrappers and filling them was a master class. Slick operation and I may return this afternoon!!!

    The soup dumplings were delicious! They were huge and packed with the perfect amount of soup inside. Each bite was flavorful and satisfying. My only minor complaint is that I wish the vinegar flavor was a little less prominent so the taste of the filling could shine through more. I also like how they make it fresh in front of you.

    Fresh made daily dumplings

    Fresh made soup dumplings. Typically a 30+ minute wait since they prepare things as they're offered. All in all, their dumplings are descent for Reno standards; however, if you truly eat dumplings, then you'll know that fresh ginger is needed, something they do not offer to accompany their dumplings. My favorite was their classic pork dumplings. Their beef dumplings were a bit dry. Both dumplings were nice and soupy, but some dumplings stuck to the paper and popped where their juices ran out. The skin isn't thick, which is good, but prices are a bit steep at 8 for $15.99. Their cucumber salad was also acceptable although they come in black plastic containers. Having experienced a to go order, they are quite skimpy on handing out silverware and plates. Surprisingly, they initially didn't give any. Then when asked, they only gave 2 when we needed a total of 3.

    I stopped by for lunch and ordered the scallion beef dumplings and an order of spicy cucumber salad. The total came out to just under $30, but that is sort par for the course at the Reno Public Market because of how expensive the rent is there for the vendors. Didn't take long, maybe a little over 10 minutes. The dumplings were good, fresh, juicy, and flavorful. I didn't really like the soy sauce that came with them but also didn't take any of the different packets at the stand. The cucumber salad was good, but nothing too special. The portion size is large, I couldn't finish them all. I would come back for the good dumplings in the future, but probably wouldn't often because of the value and I would skip the salad next time.

    Boiled shrimp and chives dumplings and cucumber

    As the local Taiwanese foodie, I feel mildly obligated to vet foods from my region of the world. I'm glad to report that finally we have good handmade dumplings in Reno, in AUTHENTIC Chinese home style. Skin is thicker and chewy, and the meat/broth is satisfying and rich. This isn't the delicate Din Tai Fung style of silky thin dough and elevated Shanghainese cuisine, but it's hearty and fresh and satisfying nonetheless. EDIT: I skimmed some of the other people reviewing the dumplings and felt obligated to point this out: the dough is on the THICC side of things, but this is a regional thing in China especially Northern style. Personally I enjoy many of the variations, but many Americans have differing expectations of soup dumplings due to Din Tai Fung's elevated-Taiwanese style being popularized globally. The soup dumplings I'd give a 4.5/5 (chewy skin, great broth and filling), The chive and shrimps boiled dumplings I'd give a 4/5 (flavors are a bit subdued), And the cucumber appetizer a 3/5 (felt like it soaked the soy sauce for too long and is overly salty, missing some of the crisp). EDIT2: So uh, they really could use the maniacal efficiency of Din Tai Fung -- the dumplings are made-to-order and take 15-20 minutes from order to table... but if there's a line this goes way outta control. There service isn't bad but it's def bottlenecked by the poor guy wrapping everything... +1 because it's the best we got for Reno so far... 5/5 will come again!

    The classic pork soup dumplings.
    Paul P.

    The classic pork dumplings were delicious. Leave them on the tray while eating. Tip was to bite off the tip and add the soy sauce to the contents before eating. I thought these were a good value. This was enough to share and definitely enough for one. I want to try the spicy pickles on the next visit.

    Pork soup dumplings. Excellent. They are gushers, no squirters!
    Kevin S.

    The line needed a little sweep, with one person log jammed at the register, but the staff is friendly and helpful. Quality is 10/10, hand made and cooked to order, so be prepared for a 20-50 minute wait. This isn't fast food, it's real food that takes a while to steam! They all arrive boiling hot, so poke a hole in the top and wait a good 5-10 minutes to cool before going full honeybadger on them. They all have a good amount of soup inside, and they are gushers, not squirters! The beef was excellent, but the pork soup was our favorite. Scallion was also very good.

    Drake R.

    Wow, I have been waiting for real dumplings to finally make their way to Reno, and FINALLY we have a promising start. As far as ambiance, I'm not big on Reno Public Market in general, but it was worth it for some soup dumplings. The dumplings themselves had fantastic flavor and texture, the only thing I hope for is that they start serving chili oil as well. They have vinegar, but no chili oil and that's my go to topping everywhere I go. Other thing, I will absolutely be back, but about 30% of our dumplings tore getting them off the paper. I have high hopes that this is just growing pains of the new place and they will lock the dough in soon enough. Go give this place a try, it's a great addition to the Reno food scene.

    I really wanted to love this place.. It is located inside Reno Public Marketplace. We ordered the pork dumplings, the beef dumplings and also the shrimp, pork, scallion dumplings. 3 in total. The first section on their menu is steamed dumplings and the next section is boiled. I wish I could say there was a noticeable difference between the two but sadly that was not the case. *Note of caution! The soup dumplings were filled with boiling hot liquid! There was a pocket in each dumpling we had to stab with chopsticks to drain them. Beware before popping one of these bad boys into your mouth. It took 40 mins to receive them. In their defense they are making them to order. All our dumplings had overly thick dough. They were made fresh but overall were lacking flavor.

    Sarah H.

    This is worth the visit to the public market! It is a nice new addition and is absolutely delicious! We had pork and shrimp dumplings, and everything was just so fresh and delicious. We also got the pork soup dumplings which are a MUST! The broth in the dumplings is out of this world! For the soup dumplings, what I like to do is to put the dumpling on a spoon (I will grab it at the top if it is not too hot) and then bite a tiny hole from the bottom side, that way you can suck all the broth out. This way you enjoy the broth before bitting into the dumpling itself. If you just bite into it, you are at risk of losing some of the amazing broth. Additionally I love that you can watch them make the dumplings. Note that it may take them 15-20 minutes to make the dumplings, as it is freshly rolled and steamed upon order.

Parking is very easy in the shopping center lot. Honey Bakers is a small shop where you order to-go. Highlights The location offers a range of dim sum standards (har gow, siu mai, sticky rice, etc.) that you can order on demand. Around Autumn festival time, there are also mooncakes and other traditional pastries, with lotus, black bean, red bean, taro, egg custard, and other fillings. There is also a long specialty menu of sweet and savory "buns," including steamed and baked char siu bao, coconut pineapple, red bean, and chicken. I don't think I've ever seen so many options in one place, amazing! Turnaround time is pretty fast as well. Lowlights The dim sum prices are "boutique," and by that, I mean much more expensive than dim sum restaurants I've been to. Dim sum doesn't have that many offerings around here, and so you pay for the convenience. The buns are more reasonably priced, but the fillings are on the low side, and some aren't quite as fresh or tasty as I'm used to. Again, demand often impacts these factors, so I can appreciate a small business has to balance things. Overall, a convenient option if you're craving dim sum or Chinese sweets.

No big deal, just something to mention. We started with the kimchi fries- great flavor but the fries were hard to grab without using utensils.

We stopped by on a Sunday, which is their Dim Sum day. What I really like about this place is that they only prep a limited number of items and when they're done, that's it! So if you want to enjoy their food, you need to get here early! We came at 11:20am (they opened at 11:00am) and it was packed already. By 12:30pm they were out of a few items already. We got the chicken dumplings, crab rangoons, and Khao Sai with chicken. Wow, just incredible all around. The items were served quickly and piping hot. We sat at the bar so we could peek around the corner into the kitchen and watch them prep and slang these items with such speed and precision. I haven't found many places that serve Khao Soi so I knew I needed to get it. The broth was so rich with a spicy complex flavor and a generous portion of noodles. I got the steamed chicken while my friend got the fried chicken - honestly, we probably could've split it, especially since we got the other dim sum items. The owner is amazing, so friendly and really wants everyone to feel welcome. He knew so many people and it makes me want to be a regular here (too bad I don't live in Reno!) The owner is expanding his offerings and occasionally does a drag brunch, which seems really fun! Do yourself a favor and stop by here early and enjoy the amazing food!

When I got there about 20 minutes later, everything was ready to go. It was quick and easy, in and out with no hassle. Once I got home, everyone dug in. Overall, the food was good. The wontons and the Mongolian beef were the standouts for sure. The fried rice was decent, but it felt a little bland compared to everything else. This isn't authentic Chinese food by any means. It's definitely more American-style Chinese takeout, but sometimes that's exactly what you're in the mood for. The buy one get one deals make it even more worth it. I'd order from here again when I'm looking for that guilty pleasure Chinese food fix.

About average for dimsum amd asian cuisine. They should do special events or host holiday things to get more attraction to them. Would help drive in members. Like a moon festival set or new years set. People love those and must be reservations. If they advertised this gs like that. I bet the community would love to experience that. Overall its not bad Would go again, but we rarely eat out. Also there's plenty of parking , just beware those people coming from the backside. They tend to speed a little.

    Came in on a Friday at noon. We had the place to ourselves, my friend and I and our 4 kiddos. When…read moreyou enter Shanghai restaurant you make an immediate right into a separate waiting area then down the hall for the dim sum restaurant. It's a small space and we were greeted with the menus, boba and dim sum, and some water. Our waitress was so sweet and friendly! We ordered 7 dim sum items and all of them took me back to the delicious places I remembered from sacrament. Sparks NEEDES this time of authentic cuisine. I will definitely be back! Pro Tip- you can also order from Shanghai's menu (Chinese and sushi) and eat it on the dim sum side. It was perfect for our kiddos. Everyone got something they wanted!

They don't have to be, but they shouldn't be made like this....

    The Wok punches so high above Reno's weight class it's insane. The Sichuan menu is absolutely…read morekiller, and I think the best food experience in Reno. The Wok is one of those places, and Sichuan/Chongqing food is one of those things that I'm jealous of people who get to experience it for the first time. Here's how to have an epic time at The Wok: Step 1. Get 4 to 8 people total that aren't afraid to try something a little different and maybe slightly spicy (seriously though it's not actually that spicy). If you need help with this step message me, I'd share a meal with some random people if it's at The Wok. Step 2. Flip to the back page of the menu, and order a few things that sound good to the group. Don't waste your time with the American Chinese menu (even though what I've had off of that menu is actually really good too). Make sure to get a decent mix of stuff like appetizers, veggies, noodle, soup, and meat dishes. Also don't be afraid to order multiple times. This gives you more time with the menu, and you can judge what sounds good in the moment. Step 3. Share the food family style with everyone until you are all full. I think at this point I've eaten everything on the Sichuan menu, and can say that if it sounds good to you, it is! Some of my favorite dishes are: Wontons in Chili oil, Bone in chicken wings, Spicy boiled fish fillet, Beef noodle soup, Green beans, Salt and Pepper tofu, Dan dan noodles, and Mapo Tofu. Finally, Janet (the manager) is amazing, and always willing to give a recommendation.

    Pho Café Hong Kong Diner is a huge restaurant, and the lady at the front was very friendly and…read morewelcoming. We ordered the Vermicelli with Grilled Chicken, Dry Fried Beef Chow Fun, and Gai Lan with Beef. The portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable. With "Hong Kong Diner" in the name, I was expecting authentic Cantonese stir-fries with good wok hei. Unfortunately, the Dry Fried Beef Chow Fun lacked that signature smoky flavor, and the texture was closer to lo fun than traditional chow fun. The Gai Lan with Beef also lacked wok hei. The outer layer of the gai lan stems had been peeled away, so the stems lost the crisp texture that makes gai lan so enjoyable. The Vermicelli with Grilled Chicken was overly tender and quite salty. It seemed to be marinated so heavily that I couldn't really taste the natural flavor of the chicken. Overall, the restaurant offers generous portions, reasonable prices, and friendly service. I just wish the Cantonese dishes had delivered the wok hei I was expecting from a place with "Hong Kong Diner" in its name. :)
