We were visiting Sacramento from out of town and originally planned on eating at another restaurant next door, but at the last minute decided to give Tasty Dumpling a try. Little did we know we had stumbled upon a spot that had been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri. The space was clean and simple, and the staff was incredibly friendly. Since it was our first visit, they took the time to walk us through the menu and give us recs. We ordered a little of everything so we could really try the menu. The portions were great for sharing family-style, which gave everyone a chance to try something different. Another fun surprise: If you spend over $80, they give you a cute Tasty Dumpling keychain. I highly recommend Tasty Dumpling if you're in Sacramento, and we'll definitely be back. read more

FOOD: Made to order; fresh and tasty. I especially appreciated that tickets with food labels came with the order so that I knew what was what. SERVICE: Folks were very friendly and helpful. AMBIANCE: Decor on walls were inviting and playful; multiple seating options. Most guests were OG Asians, so I knew I was in a good spot, too. read more

They were featured on Diners, Drive-In's, and Dives! Lots of Guy Fieri decor in the store. I typically go here for lunch since it's a short walk from where I work. I especially like getting the $2.95 Thai iced tea because it is MASSIVE for the price compared to other places. It's the good amount of tea flavor to sweetness for me. Great for a mid-day pick me up. The food portions are on the larger side if you're dining alone so expect to take some leftovers if you don't have a huge appetite. I personally recommend the cucumber salad, green beans, and XLB. And, of course, the Thai iced tea. read more

Sometimes we get a craving for a really tasty dumpling, so of course I had to try Tasty Dumpling! Parking can be challenging because they're in a strip center that has numerous restaurants with very limited parking. Parking is free, so that's a plus. The restaurant has a very strange odor. It doesn't smell like food. It smells more like harsh disinfectant and something else that just is unappetizing. The patrons that were dining in, seemed completely unbothered by it, and if the woman had not come to the counter to take my order, I'm more than likely would have walked out. There is a variety of options on the menu, and I asked for recommendations and ended up ordering the pork steamed dumplings, and the sesame balls. The "dumplings " ( pot stickers) were pan seared not steamed, which may have been a blessing in disguise. They keep different sauce options on the tables to make it easy to choose your spice level, etc. I found the dumplings to be OK but nothing special. The dumpling itself was very gummy, but the filling while tasty was more like a hard meatball. The two just did not marry well together. The sesame balls were good, but not fantastic. They lacked a sesame flavor, and again had a gummy consistency. Not fantastic, but OK. The consistent and constant bad smell in the restaurant, never dissipated, and did not help the dining experience. The food overall was OK, but nothing that I would venture back for. read more

The food all tasted amazing!! The xiao long bao was quite large, with thin dough and tasty soup. I do wish the beef onion pancake roll was warm (it was room temp) but it was very fresh. read more

Owner and staff very welcoming and accommodating. Food was delicious! Price was reasonable. Very clean place and no wait for dumplings!

First time here, we had the stir fried green beans, pan fried pork pot stickers, pork and shrimp dumplings, chicken chow mein. You order then sit down, the service ordering was good. The restaurant was clean and everything was tasty. Especially liked the green beans and potstickers. The parking in this area is not the best so just be prepared. read more

I enjoyed my food in both of my visits here. I tried the veggie dumplings, chicken and corn dumplings, and pork pot stickers. I liked the extra touch of adding chopped baby corn garnish to the chicken and corn dumplings. I liked everything and the dumpling sauce and chili oil complemented everything perfectly. There is comfortable indoor seating and a welcoming atmosphere; the decor is cute dumpling themed images on the walls among other art. You can order online for pickup and they share a parking lot with other businesses, including Sweetgreen and Urban Plates. The service was alright on my 1st visit (friendly greeting from an employee at the door but the cashier offered no help when I mentioned it was my 1st time there). However, the service was great on my 2nd visit. Overall, it's an affordable stop with good food and a plus is that to-go orders are packaged nicely and they make sure to ask what sauces you'd like and if you want utensils. read more

Went here for the first time and was overall pleased with our visit. The restaurant is clean and bright, there are tables on one side and a row of bench style tables on the other. We got a menu and sat down to decide what to order and ordered at the counter. There was some confusion over ordering soup dumplings but it was resolved quickly. We ordered soup dumplings, two orders of one type of dumpling and two four item combination plates, and also one order of rangoon. Rangoon came out quickly and was fresh and hot. Individual flavor dumpling plates were next and then the soup dumplings and the combo plates. Everything was fresh and delicious, clearly made to order not reheated. The only real problem was knowing what things were, mostly the combination plates, we asked and the server was a little confusing about what each dumpling was so we pretty much just all shared all the plates as a group. The shrimp was easy to spot because of the tail and the vegetable were easy to tell due to the green wrappers. There was a very nice gentleman who came and offered a spicy dipping sauce and it was delicious, a great compliment to all of the dumplings. read more

This was my first time visiting Tasty Dumpling, and I stopped in with a few friends to try a variety of dishes. We ordered a few items to share, and I really wanted to like this place because the food itself was actually pretty decent. Unfortunately, the service ruined the whole experience. From the moment we walked up to the counter, it was clear that the employees were more invested in their personal conversation (which had nothing to do with work, by the way) than in helping us. When we placed our order, the employee acted visibly irritated, eye rolls and all, like we were an inconvenience for simply... being customers. Not a great first impression, but we brushed it off. Then came the awkward part: our food came out at completely different times, with zero communication, no customer service, and no regard for the basic dining experience. Will I return to this location? Absolutely not. But I am open to trying a different location, in the hopes that the staff is better trained in basic hospitality. Tasty food won't save a place if the attitude at the counter makes customers feel unwelcome. Do better guys.... do better read more

Located on the corner of Fair Oaks and Howe with a small parking lot. IMO Tasty Dumpling is where you can get the best XLB in Sacramento! I believe this one may be owned by the same people as the Curtis Park one. Dumplings, string beans, and XLB were all good! Order at the counter and grab a table. Lots of indoor seating. read more

My 12yo daughter said that this was her best restaurant experience ever. The main reason was that the servers were authentically joyful. Not just kind and attentive. Even when they were interacting with each other, they were full of delight. It was contagious. We'd just gotten out of a 2-hour cardiology appointment. Service and kindness matter. Some days, they matter even more. And of course, the food was prepared fresh and tasty. She loved her soup dumplings, especially. read more

My friends and I checked out Tasty Dumpling for dinner last night. I have been to the other location by Sac City, but I was still excited to check out this location last night. It is located in the same plaza as Urban Plates on Fair Oaks Blvd. This location is a little bit larger than Sac City, but the setup is still the same. We ordered the Combination Dumplings (Vegetarian and Pork and Shrimp), Cheese Rangoons and Cold Noodles to share. It was more than enough for the 3 of us to split - we still had a good amount left over! Everything was really good - just like the other location. We all enjoyed the 3 items and left full and satisfied. The Cold Noodles were my favorite though - they are always so light and refreshing - I recommend getting the spicy sauce on the side - it is so good on the noodles. The Cheese Rangoons were sweeter than I like, but I still really enjoyed them and I also enjoyed the Dumplings - they each had the perfect amount of filling. Staff were a bit awkward, but friendly nonetheless. Food came out fast and hot. There are still many items on their menu that I want to try so I will definitely be back. Check them out! read more

We stopped in around lunch time and ordered a Chocolate Milk, Scallion Pancake, Cheese Ragoon, Shrimp & Pork Xiao Long Bao & Combination Dumplings(Chicken & Corn, Beef, Tasty Shrimp & Pork & Shrimp.) I'd return for the sweet and yummy ragoons and mouthwatering soup dumplings! I'd like to try more flavors of the steamed dumplings as well to see what I like. They weren't labeled and our toddler ate half of them lol! Our family of 4 shared and loved everything! This Small business has lots of seating available if you're coming in a group and the staff are very friendly! We came in on a Sunday and it was bustling! They also have a 2nd location on Crocker Dr! 4/5 stars! SYOY! :-) *Song Credit: 经年 byEnjoyMusic Site: https://enjoymusic.ai read more

My family and I visited Tasty Dumpling, located in the Campus Commons, on Fair Oaks Blvd in Sacramento, CA. Upon entering the restaurant, we were promptly greeted by an employee and we loved the aroma waffling out of the kitchen. We ordered after contemplating so many options: pork and shrimp xiaolongbao, combination dumplings, cheese rangoon, scallion pancake, and chocolate milk. Xiaolongbao is the term for soup dumplings and my family loved them! We chose chicken and corn, beef, tasty shrimp, & pork and shrimp steam dumplings for our combination dumplings. We wished they were labeled which dumplings were of two but they all tasted great. My toddler absolutely loved the cheese rangoon and scallion pancake, eating 3-4 pieces of each dish. Cheese rangoon was tasty and sweet while the scallion pancake paired with a little sauce was savory, earning 5 star review from me: Thank you, Tasty Dumpling, for the all the wonderful flavors brought inside the dumplings. Next time, we want to try the fresh noodles and other options on the menu. read more

These soup dumplings were so delicious! They had a good amount of meat and broth and were comparable to dumplings I've had in SoCal! They also have a dumpling sauce, idk what's in it but it is incredible!! The garlic green beans were also cooked to perfection. We also ordered fried rice and that was the highlight of our meal (not pictured). Overall, I'm really impressed with this place, their dumplings are just as good at din tai fung's and an amazing find for a casual asian spot in NorCal. read more

I stopped by Tasty Dumpling after driving down Fair Oaks Blvd and never noticed the Tasty Dumpling before. I walked in an was greeted immediately by a younger man at the counter. I was asked if I've even tried them before? I answered, no and he explained the menu and gave me time to look over it since they have a lot of offerings. The inside is spacious with plenty of seating to dine in. They have only been open for about 4 months. The serve dumplings, rice, noodles, Baos, etc... as well as frozen dumpling to cook at got if you wish. I ended up ordering, the pork Buns, crab rangoons, shrimp chow mein and chicken chow mein. The have early bird discounts if you ordering within an hour or 2 of the restaurant opening as well as Happy Hour on beers. I ordered my food to go. Everything looks delicious and everything is made fresh to order. They are a little pricey as well. I truly enjoyed everything I ordered except the pork Buns. I was expecting it to me filled with bbq pork. They didn't put a description on the menu so that's what I assumed. It was filling with the mashed/steamed dumpling pork and it was terrible, texture wise and flavor wise it did not work at all and made the bread in the middle soggy. I won't be ordering that again. Overall, I will try other menu items and I'll ask questions from now on when ordering. Try them out if you haven't. read more

We visited this spacious Chinese dumpling restaurant, which also has its own parking lot, which made dining convenient. You order at the counter, and they will give you the number, and then they serve you food. We ordered the pork XLB (soup dumplings), a mix of beef and shrimp dumplings, and shrimp chow mein. Everything tasted flavorful and well-prepared. The XLBs were impressively large, with juicy, non-fatty fillings that made them especially enjoyable. The steamed dumplings were also excellent -- very juicy without being greasy. I requested less salt and less oil for the chow mein, and it still turned out delicious, with good flavor and texture. Overall, it was a satisfying meal in a comfortable setting. Definitely worth a visit if you're craving dumplings. read more

I went to the tasty dumpling last night with my boyfriend and YUM! The service was good and the dumplings even better! I do wish the spicy dumplings were a little more...spicy, but with enough of chilli oil, anything can become spicy! I also ordered the hot tea and it was so little mediocre, but you can't expect too much from a tea bag! Overall the restaurant vibe was pretty chill and relaxed, great for large groups! There was def more large tables than 2 person seating options! Would def recommend! read more

Simply put, the food is DELISH! We've been to 2 locations so far and both are so good! Our favorite dishes are the Pan Fried Juicy Pork Bun, Chicken Chow Mein, and Pork Xiao Long Bao. But honestly, you can't go wrong with any of their dishes. We've tried lots of their dishes and everything is as their name suggests, TASTY! You can't see the chefs hard at work in the kitchen, whipping up the food which is a nice distraction while you wait. The food is made FRESH and is delivered to your table piping hot! The place is not super big but it's cozy and they can definitely accommodate a decent size party. You order at the counter which makes it a great place to visit with a group of friends. DRINKS: They sell bottled water, bottled sodas and juices, and bottled beer. They also have water (served in a cup) if you don't feel like paying for an expensive bottle of water. PARKING: They share a parking lot with many other businesses. People are constantly coming and going and we don't have any issues with finding a spot. Overall, this is a must try spot for anyone who loves dumplings or tasty Asian food. They do not disappoint! We will be back AGAIN and AGAIN! Love this place! read more

I don't know how I have survived without this place in my life this long. I lived in Japan for 6 years and traveled quite a bit throughout Southeast Asia. When I say these are the BEST dumplings I've ever tasted, it's no exaggeration! The service was friendly and prompt, and the restaurant was super cute! Art on the walls, comfy seating, good noise level (not loud). I can't wait to go back and try more things off the menu. This is definitely in our weekly rotation now. read more

The restaurant itself is clean. The cashier and waitress are friendly and patient. We ordered the pork potstickers which was very flavorful! Good amount of filling and good size overall.

Overall, I think this is a good spot when you're craving some good dumplings! read more

Bad service and I found various eggshells in my fried rice. I went in person to order to go food. I sat down and about 25 minutes later I asked the server if my food was done and it had been done waiting on their counter for 20 minutes. Next time, save your customers some time and let them know their food is ready. Then I got home and I was eating my fried rice when I felt pain from biting onto something hard. I spat it out to find eggshells, I looked through the rice and found 3 more pieces and one was pretty big. I don't even want to imagine how painful it would have been if I accidently swallowed some of those eggshells. If you order fried rice make sure you check all of your rice for eggshells! read more

Food is okay, with hiccups in the service. Came here with friends after an event. This area looks pretty new, so I was intrigued to try out a new restaurant. There werent too many people when we first arrived. The menu has a good amount of things to choose from and the prices arent too different from similar restaurants. We ordered at the counter, were given a number, then sat a table to wait for our food. When we sat, we could see that it started to get really busy, between a few people eating in and food delivery drivers waiting for orders. We had to ask several times for a few things, like water, utensils and parts of our order. We did end up waiting for a while for our order to come out. Maybe they're still ironing out things. We tried the pork soup dumplings, beef bun, and spicy won tons. The soup dumplings didnt have too much flavor and had a little bit of soup in each. The beef bun didnt have much filling and didnt have much taste. The wonton soup was my favorite. It had the most flavor, but I was the only one of my group that ended up liking it. I would be interested in probably trying out more of the menu further down the line when they find their rhythm, but its a little hard to recommend them right now. read more

Best experience and taste we have had in awhile. The staff and owner was so welcoming and nice! Food was DELICIOUS!

I was a bit under the weather and needed something clean, tasty, and easygoing. Not only did this place hit all those marks, it actually surprised me with how delicious everything was.

Would highly recommend! read more

This location is pretty new (as of December 2025). Let's just say our family went twice in one week! We really thought their pork potstickers were well made. A little crispy in the edges, tender on the inside. I really like the scallion pancakes which were a good amount of chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The one dish that was only meh was the plain noodle soup. I really wanted noodle soup and this was the only option. I even added beef and it was really plain. The soup flavor was good, but the real problem were the noodles. Really need some soup? Maybe try one of the ones without noodles? read more

This is the second time I've been to Tasty Dumpling. You order at the counter, take and number and they bring your food to the table. We ordered - Xian cold noodles - Xiao long bao - Fried pork dumplings - Scallion pancake The food came out quickly. All the dishes were very good. My favorite were the Xian cold noodles which were very fresh and had a great bite and flavor. The serving was also very generous. Both my friend and I are a lot and still had enough leftovers for a small meal. Our total bill with tip was $60 (we also had a tea) which was a little on the pricey side but I do understand that the price of eating out everywhere has gone up a lot. Staff were very friendly. I sat down and waited 30 minutes as my friend was running late and the server brought me water and did not rush me to order. I look forward to coming back again. read more

Saturday, 5/17/2025 - Tried Tasty Dumpling. Address is 2080 Fair Oaks Blvd, Ste 160, Sacramento, CA 95825. Upon arrival.... Pros 1) parking was a little hard. But we did find parking. If you've a big truck, may be a little tight. 2) you order right when you get in and then pick a table to sit. They'll give you a number after you order. 3) the staffs were super nice, talkative, and cherry. They were friendly and made us feel welcome. We joked with them and they joked right back. Made us all smile and laugh. 4) dumplings and bao were good. We liked them. There is a few sauces on the table you can use for it. 5) restaurant looked clean. Our plate, utensils and cups were clean. 6) water tasted great. No funky or metal taste. 7) Cons 1) none Conclusion We liked this little spot. It was cute. Staffs were professional and fun to talk to. Foods were good. I'd go here again. I plan to try something different next time. read more

I really wanted to love Tasty Dumpling, especially with the bubbly personality of the person who took my order and sitting in a spot where I could watch them freshly making the dough and dumplings. However, I found the food mediocre. The display in which it was served was fantastic, and the buns were clearly freshly steamed. There was a bit too much dough compared to filling in my opinion. It took several bits to get to the filling on either one (I ordered red bean and pork), and only took a few bites to eat all the filling. The red bean bun overall had great flavor and texture, just I really would have enjoyed less dough and more filling. The pork one was not my favorite. The pork looked like a small, cheap, frozen patty. I will say it did taste better than it looked, and on closer inspection looked probably made in house (uneven, visible pieces of ingredients). However, it was so tiny that it was not very filling. I was expecting more of shredded pork filling all the empty space as I have had at other places. I might come back to try something else, but overall I was not as impressed as I had hoped to be. read more

Food was fine, service was poor. Do not recommend ordering online. I ordered online and arrived within 10 minutes of ordering (Website claims orders will be ready in 10-15 minutes) to learn that the order had not been submitted to the kitchen yet. I understand that it can be difficult to bring food out timely during a rush, but I waited nearly 30 minutes for 1 item. People who had ordered after I arrived received their food before I did. read more

Such a cute new spot! The prices are a little high I think (based on my experience of having dumplings at other restaurants), but every once in a while it'll be nice to stop by. They have a large menu, which we appreciated. We had the spicy pork soup dumplings and the deep fried pork buns! The fried ones were very unique and the spicy dumplings weren't too spicy at all. The service was great. One of the employees kept coming around asking if we wanted water (or water refills). This place sells beer too. So that's an extra little bonus treat. Cheers! read more

Stopped for dinner after running a late afternoon errand on a Friday. Parking was somewhat scarce, but we found a spot close to the restaurant. We were greeted by a staff person who was both friendly and helpful with taking our order. She was also both efficient and helpful after bringing us our food order. She followed up to ensure we were doing well with our food. By the time we were finished the Tasty Dumpling was full of both sit down customers and take out customers. Overall, this was a very enjoyable dining experience. read more

I gave in to my craving for stir fry green beans after trying it at their first location (Crocker Dr.) and decided to check out this location! It's located off Howe and Fair Oaks Blvd, has a small parking lot but a bit more space indoors compared to their location. Because it's newly opened, the wait time for ordering and receiving food can take a while due to high volume of customers. It took about 30-40 minutes to order in-person and wait for takeout. I recommend calling to order ahead of time if you are not planning to dine in. Unfortunately, the employee at the front was responsible for being a cashier and waitress at the same time. With the long line of customers waiting to order takeout or dine in, and seats already filled with customers waiting to be checked on, it seemed very overwhelming for her. They should've had at least two people up there during their grand opening period to properly handle these rushes. The food was good and plentiful, can't really go wrong with stir fry green beans and some rice. I didn't get the chance to try their dumplings but I'd like to come back and dine in when it's less busy! read more

I stopped by with some friends last week after visiting Chip Cookies next door and had a great dinner! It was easy to order our food and the portions were a really good size. We ordered the vegetarian dumplings, pork dumplings, cheese wontons, and cold noodles. I can't speak for the meat options but I know my friends liked what they got! I really like their vegetarian dumplings and cold noodles, both of these dishes are light and refreshing. The service was fine, the staff were a little awkward but it wasn't terrible. I've been to their other location before but prefer this one because of the location and openness. I'll definitely be back to try out some of their other dishes! read more
