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!!! read more

Service - 3/5 - handmade dumplings right in front of you!? AWESOME!!! Wildly good sign. Long wait... not as cool, but for fresh food I accepted it. Numerous orders who ordered after us coming out first? Less than ideal, but you gotta do what you gotta do. No chopsticks stocked. It's RPM ambiance, so if you're into that it's fine. Food quality - 4/5 - obviously they take pride in what they do, with having the dumplings hand folded right in front of you. They tasted clean and I'm sure the quality is good, though the taste made me question it a bit. Food TASTE - 2/5 - the pork soup dumplings were incredibly bland. The vinegar-y soy sauce dip they provided was not a crowd hit among our group, and didn't elevate the flavor at all. A chili oil or something else spicy (even just true soy sauce... aside from the packets) would have helped loads. The beef & onion potstickers were yummy, but super greasy. Again, a better dipping sauce or even a bowl of kimchi or some type of greens to cut through the grease would have been spectacular. Probably won't be back... mostly because I am not a fan of RPM, but also because $19 for 6 bland soup dumplings isn't something I'll pursue again. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Finally a handmade dumpling place in town! I loved watching the operation of them stuffing and folding dumplings in the clear glass window. The menu is very small - soup dumplings, steamed dumplings, and cucumbers and cabbage. Wish they had a few offerings for those of us who are gluten free (I.e, Harlow in rice wrappers would be awesome!). But the cucumbers were delicious and the kids loved the dumplings. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Soup Dumpling’s House - Pork soup dumplings. Excellent. They are gushers, no squirters! - Dim Sum Near Me - Reno, Nevada

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Had a craving for dumplings. When I walked up to take a look at the menu, I actually saw them in the process of making dumplings! Very cool! Menu is a little limited. I didn't see any chicken dumplings which I would've ordered. Anyways, I ordered the veggie dumplings and they were delicious! They tasted so fresh and they were filled with many veggies! read more

Delicious soup dumplings! To be fair I have nothing to compare it to, but I enjoyed the flavor and the sauces as well! My husband got the regular dumplings and I definitely preferred the soup ones instead--the dough was a bit lighter maybe? And the flavor profile was more to my tastes too. But a great addition to RPM! read more

Review #005 - 2026 I honestly feel bad for giving them just a 3-star review since they are pretty new to the restaurant business; but hopefully, once they read these honest reviews, it will help them figure out where they need improvements. My friend's daughter has been bugging us to take her to get xaio long bao since the first night that we arrived; but when we showed up on Friday evening, they had live music and it was way too loud for the kids so I promised them that we'd come back for lunch the next day. We showed up at around 12 PM on Saturday, Feb. 14th. We both ended up ordering exactly the same three items. I guess we really do have similar tastes in food! We had an order of cucumber salad, which was decent considering it's been sitting in the marinade for days from the looks of the cucumbers and they still weren't overly salty. We had the pork, shrimp and chives dumpling which was actually pretty good! However, my girlfriend said the XLB was a disappointment. I didn't taste them, but considering my daughter can finish two orders at most places, she only ate 2 pieces and tossed the rest. My girlfriend's daughter also ate half of her order and tossed the rest. The most disappointing part was we waited almost an hour for our food just to toss away $30 worth of food. The girls were adamant about not coming back again next time. Hopefully, things will get better once they figure out the timing and flavor of their food. read more

Classic pork soup dumplings. Husband and I went just for the soup dumplings. The sauce to dip them in was better mix of flavor this time and i really enjoyed it. Husband was saying would be nice if they had chili oil. He talked to the owner and they do, just need to ask for it. So worth driving to get! We did try the cabbage salad. Had too much onions for me but the sauce in it was really good. read more

Not bad. The soup dumplings are really good and everything is made fresh. The regular beef and chive dumplings aren't as good and the skin is a little thick on them. One big drawback was the wait for soup dumplings. We had to wait an hour and they weren't that busy so -1 star. Hope they get the timing figured out. Price is a little high, but it's the location. Will be back for soup dumplings for sure. read more

I was so excited when I heard a dumplings place was opening at RPM.. we need more cultural food in reno.. We went a couple days after they opened and at a time when rpm wouldn't be so busy like at dinner time.. we got something else while rpm too..trying little bit of everything so we only got the beef dumplings at this time. They did not disappoint.. i really love my dumplings fried but can appreciate steamed too.. the meat had good flavors and the dough was not too thick but not too thin where it would break easy.. they gave you some vinegar to with it too. I didnt think I would like it since I dont usually use vinegar but it did add nice touch of bold flavor that cut through the dough and meat nicely.. *a little goes a long way on each piece! * The staff were very nice and you also got to watch them make the dumplings which was cool. Alot of love and work goes into them. I couldn't imagine how my hands would feel after making these little dumplings every day.. Can't wait to go back and try the soup ones! read more

They are located inside Reno Public Market (RPM), so an 'order, wait, pickup & eat' system, which is fun. The dumplings are handmade while you wait. They clearly state their prep/cook time is 20-minutes, so consider yourselves 'on notice'. We tried the classic pork & beef soup dumplings + the shrimp, pork & chive regular dumplings and the spicy cucumber salad. The pork soup dumplings were my favorite - loaded with broth and tasty! The beef had an interesting spice we couldn't land on, that stuck out to me. My dining partner enjoyed them. The regular shrimp/pork dumplings were also very tasty. They only have soy sauce for 'sauce', which I can appreciate- they're trying to keep the experience clean. It o really am a sauce whore, so desperately hated some crunchy garlic oil or something for more texture. Bottom line - those dumplings are legit. read more

Soup Dumpling’s House - Storefront + some patrons. - Dim Sum Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I've eaten here three times since they opened and it has definitely sent me on a dumpling kick. They are located inside Reno Public Market, so it's a food court type setting with open seating shared by multiple restaurant stalls. Being a vegetarian I've tried the veggie soup dumplings as well as just the normal veggie dumplings. The dumplings have been very good and are definitely fresh. The veggie dumplings have zucchini, egg and carrots. Sometimes if you're getting dumplings to go, they do tend to stick together in the to-go container and can break apart when you're trying to separate them. There isn't a sauteed/pan fried dumpling option but I would definitely order that if there way. The only other thing to be aware of is the wait time, especially during peak dining hours. The first time I ordered (during dinner on a Thurs evening) it took about an hour to get the single dumpling order so that was a bit of a surprise. The other times (a little off peak hours) it's been around 30 minute wait. Since they are new the wait time may improve over time as they get into more of a routine? I would love to see them add a vegan option that does not have the egg, although I'm not sure if you might be able to request now as they do hand make all the dumplings to order. Overall a very solid option. read more

Amazing service and food, I haven't had home made dumplings in a long time. I ended up getting the beef dumplings and spicy cucumber salad. The cucumber salad wasn't spicy at all but flavorful. The dumplings was juicy and not over cooked at all if you haven't try them this is your sign to do so. read more

I was so excited that a soup dumpling place opened and rushed to try it. So did several other people, service was great and they were making the dumpling fresh so I was sure it would be a hit.... It wasn't. Per usual I hit my dumpling and waited for them to cool while eating the cucumber salad. It did nit taste right, it was very sweet and I have not had a cucumber salad that had that taste before, so it could just be my taste buds that weren't a fan. Then time for the dumpling. They are way too big, your suppose to be able to fit a whole one your mouth but this was almost to big to be able to do that. Then I bit in and burned (scolded) the roof on my mouth. It has been a week and it still hasn't fully healed. And then the flavor of the dumpling was awful! I waited for them to cool down more and had another to double check and found it inedible. I tried to give them away and no one would take them so they ended up in the trash. read more

Customer service was crap. The lady that took my order had such a bad attitude. Being my first time there, makes me not ever want to go back. It's not rocket science to have a nice attitude for your customers. For the price you pay, food not worth the price, especially when you have to deal with a cranky employee. Tell your employees to stay home next time for the sake of your customers. She was probably even more pissed off that I didn't leave a tip afterwards. She probably thought she deserved it anyways. Completely oblivious. Unbelievable read more

Handmade. Giant. Tasty. I love soup dumplings and had resorted to just purchasing the frozen ones, given they tasted like what many place serve around town. These are not that. These are handmade and incredibly good. The flavor was fantastic, soup broth was delicious. Really liked the sauce as well. Prices seemed just a little higher than spots I've tried in other cities, but these are well worth it! 10/10 read more

I was so excited to try this place! Coming from Sacramento where we have a lot of delicious dim sum places, and then moving to Reno where there are basically none, this dumpling restaurant helps with the dim sum craving. Would love to see them in a full size restaurant with an expanded menu but this is a great start! We ordered the pork and crab soup dumplings, shrimp, pork, and chive dumplings, and the beef steamed dumplings. Overall, the group enjoyed the pork and crab soup dumplings the most! I loved the broth, very flavorful. For the other dumplings, I felt like it was very overcooked so while the flavor was there, the texture was tough inside. Will definitely be going back, as I really want to try the spicy cucumber salad as well! Just note, the wait time was longer too. It was about a 35-40 min wait for our order. read more

These are delicious, fresh, and properly constructed Xiao long bao. They are famously tricky to make properly and this is the first and (so far) only place in Northern Nevada that can do this. The dumplings themselves are outstanding; my only wish is that they had sliced ginger to go with the vinegar accompaniment, as is traditional. And the plastic spoons are too small for the dumplings, if they want to stick with disposable then hopefully they'll get Asian soup spoons like those given with pho or ramen takeout. read more

Finally Soup Dumplings in Reno! My husband and I came in first chance we got to try these beauties out. For years we have traveled to Roseville or the Bay Area just to get out soup dumpling fix wondering when we would ever get some in Reno that weren't just the frozen ones. Happy to announce the wait is over. Run over to Reno Public Market, the staff works diligently hand making all of the dumplings right there in front of you. Absolutely amazing flavor, we tried the Pork and Crab soup dumplings and the Scallion Beef Dumplings. Both were so flavorful and the scallion beef had one of the best flavors we have ever had. Ive seen that some people seem a little shocked at the price, and Im here to tell you that is in fact the price of an 8 piece dumpling and these are actually huge making them well worth the cost. Please give them your support and let's keep them around, I mean you really cant beat fresh hand made soup dumplings. Try them out! read more

The soup dumplings are pretty good! Be forewarned that it takes them 30 minutes + to serve the dish! There was a sign so we went into it knowing but dang it really did take super long. If you're not in a rush it's cool to try. If you'd rather not wait, get the regular dumplings because that came out faster and are also pretty good. This is located inside a market. You can also try other spots around it. Cool place to try. read more

Very delicious dim sum!!! Friendly service. I want to go back for more. I hope they have door dash or Uber one options.

The soup dumplings themselves were fine, not particularly good, but the paper they were served on bound strongly to the bottom of the dumpling and made it nigh impossible to remove from the steamer without releasing all of the soup. The proper utensils were not provided and it was an ok dumpling that was incredibly challenging to eat at all. The service however wasn't bad. 4/10 food read more

I had to check my location... am I in Reno?!? The dumplings are delicious, because they're fresh - you literally see them being made in front of you, Ding Tai Fung style. The portion size for the price is consistent with what you'd pay for real, handmade dumplings at any legit restaurant... these aren't reheated Costco / US Chef Supply dumplings you get at most places around town. The prep space is pretty small and there was a wait when we went on Thursday. Friday night when in RPM, I noticed they had a mile of tickets, so clearly they're already popular. The dude making the dumplings looked like he's been doing this since birth: rolling the dough, filling them and folding them by hand, and somehow each one came out with perfect consistency like it was from a dumpling robot The wait was more than worth it, I think I'll be hitting up this place once a week, next time will bring a group and probably order a different flavour per person so we can share and taste them all read more

Soup dumplings are one of my favorite things so I was so excited to see that a place opened! And one that is actually making them and not using frozen ones! When you order there is a sign right there saying that it'll take approximately 15-20 mins as they are made my hand and made to order. There was only a couple other people that ordered before us so 20 mins is what it took, I could see this being longer on a busier day. The menu has both regular dumplings and soup dumplings, unfortunately I did not catch this difference, as it isn't super well defined, so I ended up ordering regular dumplings. They were still very tasty though, so no regrets! I got the shrimp and pork dumplings and my husband got the beef and scallion dumplings. The shrimp ones were excellent! Amazing flavor. I didn't try the beef ones but my husband said they were just ok. My only negatives are I wish you could order a half portion, 12 dumplings is a LOT of dumplings and they aren't cheap at $15 which makes it hard to try a few items which is what I would have loved to have done. I also wish they had some other sauces than just soy, like maybe Sriracha or chili oil. Other than that, I was very pleased and I'm glad this place exists. I love the location too, being able to take my dumplings to the bar for a beer is definitely a nice touch :) read more
