    FIRE! First time here - Everything hot, fresh, and full of flavor. Place is pretty small and stay not overly friendly, but food is legit. Dumplings are on point and chow mean was excellent. Pot stickers were delicious. Place was clean and serviced was fast. We recommend and will return.

    Pork Xiao Long Bao

    I love Tasty Dumpling. A Sacramento friend recommended it to me a long time ago. Even though I arrived the last half hour before 8:30 pm closing time, the restaurant allowed me to dine in and had my order ready in about 15 minutes. I asked permission first. The Spicy Xi'an Cold Noodles arrived first. You can order spicy or nonstick. Spicy still wasn't spicy enough for me, so I added chili oil from the handy table condiments. Not the most exciting dish, but good comfort food during hot summer weather. The Beef Rolls arrived shortly after. I think they are food perfection. I could eat them all day or anytime of the day! It's a Chinese breakfast or brunch menu item. One or two of the sliced beef rolls make a good pre-workout snack. I just toast them in my toaster oven to reheat, which is 450 degrees for like 2 or 2.5 minutes. Marinated beef in slices with green onions wrapped in a crispy pancake. The beef was chilled before sliced. I would order this regularly if I lived nearby. I asked the staff what were their popular dishes. He simply pointed to the image of Pork Xiao Long Bao or steamed soup dumplings on the wall. If you order them, you will not be disappointed. Plump and juicy. Make your own mixture of chili oil, vinegar, and soy sauce (regular with red cap, low sodium with green cap). I was impressed that the restaurant scrubs and washes down its kitchen backsplash and walls at the end of the day. I also saw them mopping. This is a self-service restaurant where you order from the counter, dispense your own ice cold water into stainless steel pint cups, and grab your own chopsticks and sauces. You get a number for your table. Tasty Dumpling is a fitting name for this yummy restaurant. It's nice and refreshing when I don't have to think so hard how to rate and write up a restaurant.

    Came here with a friend for dinner and it was so good! We had the spicy pork xiao long bao, pork & shrimp steamed dumplings, and stir fry green beans. The food was really good and did not take long to come out. The stir fry green beans and the spicy pork xiao long bao were my favorite. The staff were friendly and the place was clean. The restaurant has a good amount of seating and plenty of parking in the shopping area. They have a large menu with tons of stuff to try, will definitely be coming back to explore more of their options.

    I love coming here for solo dates or meeting with a friend. The space is clean and spacious. They get busy during lunch time so call ahead or plan ahead. I always enjoy their pork and shrimp dumplings and the wonton soup. I dress it up with vinegar and chilli oil. The staff is great and the service is always quick and simple. You pay at the counter and they'll bring it to your table.

    N1. Braised Beef Brisket Noodle Soup (unmixed)
    Liberty G.

    I stopped by here for take out dinner since I was going to the Chip Cookies Yelp event. Very happy with this decision because the food was so TASTY! I ordered braised beef brisket noodle soup ($15), pan fried juicy pork dumplings ($13,) stir fried green beans ($12) and they kindly added a surprise container of steamed pork dumplings! I wasn't antsy or angry about the wait but I think they put it in there as an apologetic thank you. I didn't notice extra the container until we got home. Promptly greeted when I walked in, they were quite busy with diners and to-go orders. I pre-ordered online using their website and had a seat on the barstools at the front. You can see the kitchen and watch chefs working hard to fulfill all the orders. My mom loves potstickers but her favorites were the soup and green beans. Looking forward to coming back when we are in the area again. I'd like to dine in and try their XLB.

    100000/10 from the food to the service absolutely amazing my husband and I shared some of the pork bow dumplings, as well as the green beans and cucumber salad and hot-and-sour soup. The service was amazing Chaly and Mandy were phenomenal and brought the most amazing energy. We will definitely be back!!

    Good homemade dumplings [Sacramento CA] Looking for a place to have dinner while already here for a Yelp Experience Event at Chip Cookies and apparently there were a lot of food options but we were in the mood for dumplings so we chose this restaurant. The restaurant is narrow as you enter but deep and all the table seating were against the wall with a nice decorated mural. One long high table seating that could seat 4 or 5 is on the opposite side of the wall towards the front of the restaurant. A counter service restaurant we placed our order with the gentleman in front who was busy preparing online orders. We were fortunate to find seating. We placed our order for the following: D2. Pork & Shrimp Steamed Dumpling P1. Pan Fried Juicy Pork Bun (6pcs) B1. Pork Bun (2pcs) Food came at a reasonable time, actually food came fast. Everything was yummy. The dumplings were tasty, very flavorful, they are made in house behind a large window where you can watch them prepare them. First time trying the Pan Fried Juicy Pork Bun and really liked it. Pleasant first time experience at Tasty Dumpling. Review #3633

    One of the best places to get dumplings and XLB in the Sacramento area IMO. The dumplings are tasty and well wrapped (XLB doesn't fall apart or leak when you pick it up!). Keep in mind that they use the same filling for all the dumplings so what you order just determines how it is wrapped and cooked. The other dishes such as the dry braised string beans, beef noodles, popcorn chicken, green onion pancakes, beef rolls, etc, are all worth a try too! Order at the counter, they give you a number, and you grab your seat. It's a little tight in there, therefore, not good for large parties. Located in the same parking lot as Safeway, next to Peet's.

    I can't believe I've not made this review sooner. This is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in Sacramento! The staff here are efficient and hard workers. The decor is minimal save for the giant photoshopped mural on one wall. Peep the random ingredients that do not seem like they belong, haha. Offerings: - XLB: Pretty good and could hold a candle to Din Tai Fung! Love the flavor and textures! - Braised Beef Soup: this is not exactly up my alley. I love the soup flavor and the noodles. The meat is really tender but includes more random cuts that most American restaurants would not serve. This feels like a very authentic dish that I think adventurous/mainland Chinese people would appreciate. My tastes are unfortunately too white-washed. - Popcorn Chicken: really well fried and great flavor. If you're a fan of popcorn chicken, I would recommend ordering this. You won't be disappointed. - Chili Wonton: Really good and great flavor! One of the best dishes in my opinion. - Green beans/Broccoli: Both are so delicious and very salty. I will say, there must be MSG present. It is just that good. - Pan Fried Pork Dumplings: I love this dish almost anywhere. It is always served piping hot and it is so satisfying. I love all the textures. If you've not tried this, please do. It is sooo good. - Wonton Soup: the wonton skins were a little thick for my taste and the flavor was a little too similar to regular dumplings. The broth was really good though! Served with seaweed which was an interesting touch.

    I went to Tasty Dumpling for the first time for dinner tonight with a friend and it exceeded my expectations! They are located inside the giant Crocker Village shopping center across from Safeway. We ordered the Vegetarian Dumplings and the Cold Noodles (non spicy). The Cold Noodles came out first, it was just wide noodles with thinly sliced cucumber and some kind of sauce on it. It was very light and refreshing - we added our own chili oil to it for a little kick. The dumplings took a little while to come out, but I know it's because they make them fresh to order. The Vegetarian Dumplings were packed with flavor and better than some of the meat ones I've had at other restaurants. They stayed together and did not fall apart when we tired picking them up. I would order this again! The inside is small with a select number of tables, but I like that you can see the kitchen from the front and watch them make the dumplings. Staff were friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back to try more items! Check them out!

    What vegan options do they have? Thank you!

    What veggies are in the veggie dumplings?

    I'm not entirely sure but I had them so I'm going to guess that that it's cabbage and some sort of broccoli slaw. It's absolutely delicious!

    Does anyone happen to know if any of their menu items are gluten free?

    You looking for gluten free in a dumpling place?!? Think again!

    The cucumber salad at this place has been on my mind for the last 4 days. In a desperate attempt to…read morerecreate it, I used too much garlic and made a giant mess in my kitchen. So I'm planning my next trip here this week so I can enjoy the amazing cucumber salad (so fresh, crunchy and garlicky), their pepper beef clay pot (sizzling rice at the bottom for the win and big portions), their spicy tofu (umm what?!? So crispy) and their awesome skewers (the pork belly is my favorite). The space is small, so if you're planning on dining in during peak times, you may want a back up or take it to go as they only have a handful of tables inside and a few tables outside. There is parking but it is shared with other business so can get busy. The service is wonderful! The hostess/waitress was very friendly and everything came out relatively quick. The clay pot does take some time (they need to cook up the rice to get that awesome crunchy bottom) so place your order for that first, and then look at the appetizers and skewers as they come out fast. This was my first trip but will not be my last to Da Fei Ge!

    I came here before on a weekday and it was mostly empty. The food was good and even though you…read morecould tell it was a mostly chinese-speaking restaurant, it wasnt too difficult to order. It was nice enough that I tried to come here on a weekend night and it was packed full of families which is great but probably where I should have thought about it more. We went up to the counter and were told to wait a few minutes. I saw that a large table was clearing up so I didn't mind waiting. During this time a group came up behind us and I thought they were after us. One of the server waved in our general direction after cleaning up and splitting the table, so I thought they were gesturing to us since it has already been 10 minutes of waiting. Wrong, it was to the group behind us. Maybe it was communicated in mandarin that they had a reservation, I'm not sure. I waited for the next empty table, which was also taken by yet another group that magically appeared behind us as if they knew they were in line. I decided to leave after this. My issue is that I looked and talked to the staff multiple times and at no point, did they indicate there was a waitlist, nor did they take my name, or anything about people in front of us. It was really frustrating because being told it would be a few minutes set the wrong expectation. This is not the only place to get skewers so if you're left confused where you are in line, just come another weekday, speak mandarin, or go somewhere else like I did

We ordered a ton of dishes, probably more than two people really needed it, but we wanted to make sure we got to taste some of our favorites. Overall, the dim sum is OK. My husband and I lived in the Bay Area for a while before moving to Davis for school, so our standards are pretty high. Unfortunately this is not going to be my new go to. Although the flavors of the food were pretty OK, we found everything to be really soft. Our shrimp and chive dumplings were literally disintegrating and my chicken feet were too soft. The sticky rice, however, and the tripe were delicious sui mai, and ha gao were pretty good, with the sui mai being pretty juicy. We paid $100 for 10 dishes! I know prices have gone up everywhere but this felt pretty steep. Overall, I don't think we'd come back. I would rather go to South Sacramento and eat dim sum there and then get my Asian grocery shopping done. Restaurant itself looked like a standard Chinese dim sum restaurant. Nothing to write home about.

    ** Takeout experience only **…read more Wow. Thank goodness. I finally have a good Chinese spot. Despite there being endless selections in Sacramento sometimes the American Chinese options are .... bleh ... They are either too oily. Mediocre taste. Overpriced. It's hard to find one that really stands out. Recently my coworkers and I all pitched in on takeout from here for Lunar New Year and ordered five dishes as takeout. One of my coworkers was the one who recommended this spot. Let me just say the food was incredible. The seafood chow mein was the standout dish out of everything. Loaded with octopus tentacles, scallops, shrimp. Feel like half the time you get seafood options these days they skimp out but this place did not disappoint. The fried rice was a little more unique than I've personally tried before with pieces of beef and cabbage. But still very tasty. And the pork dishes we got including the sweet and sour were just incredible. One thing I do want to mention was some pieces of the pork did have a bone attached, but I honestly didn't mind it much. The flavor made it up for it. Also inside of this place looks very modern, clean. Since we only got takeout I can't say for certain service for sit down but ordering and getting our food was simple. The staff were very kind and friendly. Again, THANK GOD I finally have a good Chinese food option. No more oily salty food or Panda Express.

I especially loved the brisket beef clay pot. The Chinese broccoli was perfectly steamed and tender. It was the best Chinese broccoli I've ever had. The prices are a little expensive compared to the mom and pop Chinese restaurants, but I think it's worth it.

Lots of beef, which was good, but the char smell from the beef was the only thing you could taste on the noodles. It's almost like the chef cooked the noodles on whatever the beef was cooked on. The noodles we had ordered from here a month ago had very good flavor, but not a one note beef flavor. There was a lot of beef and chicken in the house chow mein, but zero shrimp means the cook either forgot or they didn't have them and thought it would be ok to add more beef. Either way, I paid extra for my selection, and didn't get it. Am I Pissy? Yes. Am I honest? Also a Yes. 3 stars this trip, probably my last.
