Always fresh, always good. Pork soup dumplings and garlic green beans are must order items every time. Service is consistently very good.

We've had Yang Kee dumplings in Roseville and wanted to try the original restaurant. The interior is smaller than the Roseville location, but still nice and roomy. Also has the glass window near the kitchen where you can watch workers fold dumplings. We got the classic xiaolongbao, wonton chili oil, and salt and pepper pork. All super delicious and similar in quality to the location in Roseville. I haven't had the wonton chili oil before and although my favorite is usually the salt and pepper pork, my favorite that day was the wonton chili oil. So flavorful and juicy! I will say the location at Roseville has a special menu where you can get specialty sweet baos. So if you're looking for that, the Davis location either does not have it, it is seasonal, or they forgot to give us that menu read more

the quality of everything was amazing! it's like a cozier version of din tai fung. the service was also great; everyone working there is super patient and understanding. i really liked the spicy wontons and the chow mein, but literally every dish was just amazing. read more

Probably the best quality you can get for Chinese food here. It's like novel but higher end but still super affordable. Prices were on the lower end of $20-30 if you get just enough per person + dessert (pineapple bun). I split 8 pork xiaolongbao, 6 shengjianbao/pan fried pork dumplings, 3 beef wasabi pastries, and a seafood sauté which was just the right amount of food for 3 people, and we added pineapple bun on top of that for a total of $78 before tax. I don't think anything was ridiculously good, but everything was very satisfying. service was quick and respectful. I thought it was weird they walked around promoting their pineapple buns to each table but it was worth it. pan fried dumpling: pretty good crunch but no crisp, lots of soup, meat is a bit hard for Chinese standards. came in 5-10 mins first Seafood saute was pretty good but a bit raw for me. I think there was about 10 pcs of shrimp and 10 pcs of scallop, and the overall portion was a bit small. came like 7 mins after the pan fried dumplings w xiaolongbao xiaolongbao: lots of juice, got tired of it fast as it's basic. beef wasabi pastries: 7 mins after the xiaolongbao and sauté, wasabi flavor was not bad at all even though I hate wasabi. Not a lot of beef but the flakiness of the pastry was really fun and it was nice to try it. Slightly sweet glaze on the top was a nice touch Out waiter forgot about our pineapple buns so they came after 20 mins but it's chill, they're small but so good. The custard has actual pineapple and the top crust is actually a little crispy. The bun itself doesn't have that classic pineapple bun flavor but everything else makes up for it especially how soft it is. Super yummy chili oil was very standard and i wouldn't buy a jar of it Ambiance is nice, love the glass showing the kitchen as it reminds me of food joints in China, it's just hella crowded at the entrance but once you sit down it's fine. read more

Yang Kee dumpling offers pretty good chinese food that's asian mom approved! The price is decent and the quantity and quality are on point! This place is similar to 88 bao bao that's popping up all over Norcal but better. Their dumplings are also made fresh, and you can watch them wrap it up in front of a window. They offer some dim sum staples like har gow (shrimp dumplings), shumai, char siu bao, beef chow fun, egg tart and much more. We usually order the beef chow fun and the xiao long bao. The chow fun isn't too oily and it's a healthy portion. The xiao long bao comes with a black vinegar dipping sauce. Try to eat those first because once they start to cool down, it'll stick to the pan liner and the skin will rip and the soup will drain out. Slap some chili oil on top and it's hellla bomb! The noodle dishes and char siu bao are tasty, too. The food usually comes out in a timely manner and it's fresh and hot! The restaurant is pretty new and modern, with a good amount of tables and space. It can get packed here during dinner time on weekends so try to get here early. They're located off to the side of a shopping plaza where Safeway and planet fitness is. And there's an EV charging station nearby. Overall, tasty chinese food, decent prices and good service. If you love soup dumplings and want some authentic chinese food, check them out! read more

After a long discussion, we decided that this is the best taiwanese dumpling place we've been so far! We ordered WAY too much food but we finished it because it was THAT good. I'm not usually a fan of garlic noodles, but my friends and I killed it! Cucumbers (off menu) were fresh and crunchy, the dumplings were so flavorful, and the pork strips were tender. I don't even remember everything we ate because I couldn't stop eating! I really wish they had hot and sour soup for me to wash it all down with! The service was really good! It's SO busy, so I'm glad our friends made the reservation before we got there. The server was nice and the hostess was very accommodating. It does get a little loud, but overall, I loved the ambiance! read more

We have tried the Roseville location, and the Davis location is just as good! The menu in Davis is smaller however and does not have some of the same speciality buns as the Roseville location. Despite that, the food is still great. We had the chili oil wontons, pork XLB, and salt & pepper pork. Loved it all. The XLB had so much soup and flavor. The chili oil wontons were my favorite part of the meal. And can't go wrong with salt & pepper pork. Definitely recommend to try read more

So on the drive home from Cali we had to fuel/charge up ourselves and the car and Fritzie W. and I saw Yang Kee Dumpling. Dumplings? Sold. Pork soup dumpling, shumai and a savoy and dessert filled bao bun. This kept me energized driving two and half hours back into Reno! They were delicious. I don't think but one or two pieces actually made it back home. You've got to love these little holes in the wall per se, these hidden gems, but here in the Davis area they seem to have fans because that place was packed 10 minutes after opening. The ambiance was amazing, thumping during that first half an hour for a Sunday! They were serving up some smell good dishes! Service was good and the hostess polite and courteous, despite our food not being ready at the estimated time but I get it. Busy busy. This is definitely a spot I would go to--to get a quick bite again. read more

Definitely recommend making reservations and getting on the waitlist because they get busy. The place is casual and cozy, nothing fancy, but clean and welcoming. Once we were seated, the staff took care of us immediately and our food came out very fast even though we did order about 8 dishes. They also came by to check up on us, fill up our waters, and took our empty plates quickly. It's actually pretty affordable considering the portion sizes and everything is shareable! read more

Come early and come often. This place stay slammed at all hours. Their baked bao always sell out, so get here early to get a great bite. The wait is a little long but you can check in on Yelp. Everything on this menu is absolutely delicious. Freshly made. You can see them making the dumplings. Will always recommend this place for family members when they visit Davis.

Tried this place out on a whim and I'm so glad that I did! The food was delicious and flavorful. It didn't disappoint. Service was fast and they went around with free samples! The highlight for me though was the red bean buns, they were so cute, I almost didn't want to eat them! Soft, slightly sweet, and just as delicious as they were adorable. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. read more

Overall, food was very good. In order, I would rank our items: Pork xiao long bao 4/5 Shrimp xlb 3/5 a little dry Pan fry pork dumplings 4/5 Sauteed broccoli 4/5 Har gow 4/5 Siu mai 4/5 Minced pork steamed bao 3/5 BBQ pork steamed bao 3/5 Wontons in chili sauce 3/5 We were seated by the door, so we had a draft the entire meal, so 2/5 on atmosphere. Service was spotty. Our server was pleasant, but didn't really want us to add more items to our order. After we did, he didn't check to see if we wanted more after that and just dropped off the check. This feels like they're used to people being there under 45 minutes and I felt pressured to turn the table even though they had cleared the wait list. 2/5 on service. Overall, I would have rated a 4/5 if I didn't feel pressured to leave. read more

Oh Yes! Yang Kee Dumplings is like heaven on earth. The food is great. We ordered a mess of dumplings, bao, and noodles and ate family style.

Ordered their fried rice to-go! On a weekend holiday evening, the restaurant was completely full, with some parties waiting in line during peak hour. The ambiance seemed nice, although I enjoyed my meal at home. I tried their special Yang Chow Fried Rice. For the price, the portion size was generous! After eating as much as I could, there were still leftovers for a few meals. The fried rice was seasoned well, but it left a slightly dry taste afterwards. There was a good portion of eggs, peas, carrots, and meat. read more

It has been a year since I've been here and the quality has increased, if that's even possible because it was fantastic when I went the last time. We ordered the pork and chive potstickers, shumai, spareribs, chow fun, and salted egg bao. Also, a wonderful surprise was the New Year trio potstickers. All the flavors were balanced and there wasn't a repeat of spices. It was a new palate pleaser every time. I also ordered chrysanthemum tea. The total price was $70 ish dollars. It was an enjoyable meal. The place was full but it wasn't noisy. It was an odd combination. Everyone was enjoying their food and their company, yet the volume wasn't loud and I could be attentive to my husband. The only thing that would distract me was watching the magic makers through the window. They were making potstickers, shumais, and the New Year special. Every execution was quick, yet precise. The area was clean and every drop of starch or flour had a purpose. They cleaned up impeccably. I enjoyed eating at this fine establishment. Quality food for reasonable prices. The people who worked at the front of the house worked In sync. No one was without water or beverage. No one was waiting too long for their meals or their checks or even any questions to be answered. A very well ran restaurant. You could even see the owners helping and filling in where they needed. Might I also add... Din Tai Fung has nothing on Yankee Dumplings. Let me reiterate that NONE of the flavors were repetitive. Even though the proteins were the same, the flavors were unique in their own way. read more

This is always a favorite for us when coming through Davis. Very clean open seating area with views of staff making the dumplings. Recently came late on a Sunday and service was prompt, polite and food came out in a hurry! We had the BBQ fried rice, beef chow fun,, lotus sticky rice, salt and pepper fish filet, pork and chive dumplings, yang kee dumplings (which is a a set of pairs of their other 4 dumplings like crab, truffle, etc.). Usually with a dumpling shop some of the other dishes can suffer but I feel like you can pick a bad dish here. Everything was cooked extremely well. Top notch! read more

My sister and I were craving dim sum and we wanted to check this place out so here we are. We ordered the red bean bao, steamed salted egg custard bao, har gow, black pepper beef dumplings, and the salt and pepper spare ribs. The highlights in my opinion are the salted egg custard bao and the salt and pepper spare ribs. The custard bao had a cool balance between sweet and savory. The spare ribs were packed with flavor and not overly salty. Also you can never go wrong with har gow. The red bean bao was good to and lowkey filling. The only thing that didn't really hit the mark was beef dumplings, just tasted just a lil bland. But overall, the food in totally was good. The service was good. Our waiter came back often to check in and refill water. There is a decent an amount of seating at this restaurant and parking is never an issue. Try it out if you like. :) read more

Came here for lunch on a Saturday and waited about 30 minutes. Tip add your name to the yelp waitlist before arrival! Walking in I was impress to see how clean and modern the place is. I like how they have a clear screen so customers can view the workers crafting the dumplings from scratch. I ordered the pork soup dumplings, Peking Spareribs, garlic noodle, Salted Egg Lava Buns, and Garlic Green Beans. Everything tastes great! Overall would highly recommend this place for food and service. The quality of the food is outstanding. read more

Still the best dumplings and dim sum in Davis! Bbq pork fried rice was great and the xiao long bao was so plump and pumped with soup. I tried their new baked bbq bao too--so delicious! The sweetness of breading, the perfectly baked texture, and filling were so good, I'd definitely get it again. I was sad to see a couple of my favorite items removed from the menu though. The restaurant can get busy if you're dining in, but this makes the atmosphere feel very lively. And the staff are all wonderful! read more

Yang Kee is my favorite dumpling place in Davis. The quality of the soup dumplings (Xiao long bao) and shu mai is comparable to Bay Area dim sum spots I love. The serving sizes are generous for the price. I've always had a great experience with the service. I usually order in a group with items to share for the table, and the food comes around the same time. Great spot for coming with groups of friends or even for a date. read more

Food: 7.5/10 Service: 8/10 Ambiance: 9/10 Food came out quick and the dumplings were made fresh right in front of the tables. The chowmein noodles are thin and not the thick kind of noodle but still good. The fried rice is good! The only thing is we wish the air conditioner worked better. It was so hot we could barely enjoy the meal on a hot day. Other than that the place is delicious and serves large amount of food. read more

Date: Sunday, April 13th, 2025 Party of: 2 Meal: Lunch Takeaway Time Ordered: around 6:45pm Time Picked Up: about 30 mins later How Ordered: Thru their website *Yang Kee Soup Dumplings ($22.95) *Pork Chive Dumplings ($12.95) *Steamed Curry Chicken Bao ($8.50) *Salt Pepper Spare Ribs ($14.95) *Yang Chow Fried Rice ($16.95) The hubby and I were heading home from Tahoe to SF. I always try to discover a new spot on the way home since we never explore the areas in between. This time, we decided to stop in Davis and check out Yang Kee. The parking was pretty busy and there was a wait for dine in. Luckily it was fast and easy to grab our takeout order. I understand why they had a wait. The flavors in the pork. Sooo good! Spicy, salty, peppery, flavorful. I think this was one of the best versions the hubs can ever had. The dumplings were tasty as well. We did eat them a good 1.75 hours later, so the XLB didn't have that soupy goodness. I believe the hubs enjoyed his baos. Dumplings are in their namesake, but their salt pepper pork chops? Yum!

My friend from the Bay (whose family used to own a Chinese restaurant) was raving about this place so I knew it had to be legit. We stopped in for dinner after a stroll at the UCD Arboretum and found a super long line outside. Luckily, we didn't have to wait too long ourselves since we'd checked in on the Yelp waitlist before heading here (pro-tip!) Based on the reviews, I knew we had to try the soup dumplings and salt and pepper spare ribs. I was having trouble deciding between the four different options for soup dumplings but was stoked to discover after asking our waitress that the "Yang Kee Soup Dumplings" is actually a combo that includes all 4 of the different flavors (with 2 of each) so perfect to share and sample everything-- so up my alley! All of them were delicious but my favorites were the crab pork and truffle dumplings-- hands down the best I've had in Sac! The salt and pepper ribs were super yummy as well, even as someone who typically avoids deep-fried dishes as they weren't overly greasy. We loved the dumpling combo so much that we ended up ordering a second round instead of trying different items LOL but next time I'd definitely love to try some of the noodle soups and traditional dumplings :) My only critique is that they need to advertise the Yang Kee Soup Dumplings better as being the "sampler" option that allows you to try literally every single soup dumpling variety! The couple seated next to us pulled me aside to ask what we had ordered, probs because we were so visibly enjoying them and it's so tough to tell from what they chose to name it on the menu. I also really dug the ambiance, as it didn't feel too cramped despite how many diners there were and we were seated in front of the glass windowed kitchen with a view of the workers meticulously folding the dumplings which was fun to watch. An absolute 5/5 authentic Chinese gem in Davis, highly recommend and cannot wait to come back! read more

My parents requested a dumpling spot for an early dinner and since we were passing through the Davis area and I had a friend who used to work here, I decided to try it out. Unfortunately, I was underwhelmed. We ordered soup dumplings, the boiled dumplings, pan-fried buns, green beans, and salt and pepper fish. The taste of everything was decent, however, I thought the dumpling skin was overly thick which took away from then taste and for the green beans, the garlic was cut inconsistently, so there were some large chunks but also some small dices. My favorites were the pan-fried buns as well as the salt and pepper fish. The restaurant was kind of hot also, especially the hallway where you walk to the restroom. The service was fine. I would recommend going early or signing up for their Yelp waitlist before you arrive to avoid longer waits. read more

I am skeptical of any Chinese restaur near Davis but this place was legit.

This is one of my fav. spots for egg custards. I've been to all the spots and if you are a fan of these, some of the best ones I've had here. Looking at the spot from the outside it's not real impressive, but there's usually a line. When you get in the restaurant there's not anywhere to wait. I highly suggest getting on the reserve list. Inside, it's nice, alot of places to sit, but not to wait for a table. Its always full. I've had most of their menu at some point. Chili won ton's are always a hit. All the dumplings of course are great. Im a fan of the spare ribs. I go for the salt and pepper ones. The pan fried beef dumplings are not to be missed. Last time I went they had these beef puff pastries with wasabi of all things ....and they were really great! Even regular dishes like Chow Fun or Green beans are going to be great. Don't worry, you made the right choice. read more

We had a good meal at Yang Kee Dumpling. I used the Yelp Waitlist so we didn't have to wait long on a Saturday at 11:30am. The food came out quickly, but the waiter did forget one of our dishes and it took them a while to clear the empty plates (they were busy). What I would get again - Soup dumplings (not the best I've had but still very good) - Ma Po tofu (very flavorful and a generous serving - Yang Chow fried rice - Pork and chive dumplings - Green beans The garlic noodles were good but not as garlicky as I would have liked. The wasabi puff was good (I just wanted to try it). Fried pork ribs were fried nicely but could have used a little more seasoning. Overall a good experience, I would go back again. read more

My partner and I had such an amazing experience here last night, and we left feeling so warm, happy, and excited about our meal! From the moment we walked in, the whole staff was kind and helpful, and I really want to give a HUGE shoutout to Andy. He truly made our night! We ordered the crab soup dumplings and the curry chicken dumplings, and they were incredible! Super hot, juicy, and full of flavor! We also tried the salt and pepper fish and the salt and pepper ribs, and both were unbelievably delicious. The garlic noodles were also a hit, and we loved the little cheese detail on top. Everything we tried was spot-on, and we're going to upload photos of our dishes because they looked just as great as they tasted! This was our first time visiting, and Andy was so patient and friendly with us. We can be pretty picky eaters, and we felt a little overwhelmed at first, but he walked us through the menu, explained everything, and even showed us photo examples of ingredients we didn't recognize. He made us feel comfortable and totally confident that we were in the right place. Andy, you were AWESOME!!! Thank you so much for your kindness, we hope this new year brings you so much happiness and blessings! Huge thanks to the entire staff as well. We will definitely be back, and we can already tell we're going to become regulars! -- Val & Brandon read more
