The foods are really good. We got chilli dumpling amazing. Fried tofu already good without sauce. And buns and more. We will be back.

Yum Dumpling is my favorite restaurant in the area. I live a few hours away but every time I'm in the vicinity the first thing I do is see how close my destination is to Yum Dumpling. Food is always 10/10 and the staff is great. I highly recommend trying Yum Dumpling if you have never been. read more

Stopped by recently and ordered three things: the xiao long bao, pork bao buns, and popcorn chicken. The XLB were the standout, really delicious, and easily the reason I'd come back. The pork buns were solid too, soft and flavorful. The popcorn chicken was tasty but a bit spicier than I expected, so heads up if you're sensitive to heat. I struggled a little getting through it. Overall, great food and great service. Definitely a good spot to hit if you're craving dim sum! read more

Excellent food ! Stopped for lunch and had pan fried dumplings, soup dumplings, Beef Chow Fun, marinated cucumbers and Garlic Fried Shrimp. Went at lunchtime and service was excellent. Can't wait to return and try more delicious dishes. Highly recommend read more

Yum is right! A friend told me about this place because he ate here a few weeks ago. We decided to go check it out today and it was absolutely delicious! The staff were super friendly and helpful. Luckily we had the whole place to ourselves which was nice. Very clean inside with every table set and ready for people to dine. We got a few different dumplings and some cucumber salad. The cucumber salad is so refreshing on a hot day. All the dumplings were delicious. They all came out hot and fresh, one order after the next. You can tell they're made to order. The xiao long bao were so good but the shrimp & pork dumplings in the chili oil were definitely my favorite! I'll be back many times to try their other dumplings and main dishes. read more

We want to try a new dumpling and this place pop up on our search. The restaurant feel open and they are spaced out. We arrived on a Monday when they just open, so it just us and another couple. There was only one server, but he was very attentive. Checking up on us and filled our water without being asked. In term of food, they are in larger portion so price are reasonable. Although, the dumpling skin is a little thick, it was very juicy and flavorful. I also love how they give us side snack to munch while we wait for our food. Everything was delicious with the exception of hot and sour soup. It was overwhelming sour and lack of soy sauce. Overall I would come back for the variety of dumpling. read more

Enjoyable visit. The flavors are a little different. I'll bet it's a specific region of food. The suimai was the most different of the bunch. Good. Just different. Always love a cucumber salad. Love a little kimchee. Fried ruse was good. The soup dumplings were HUGE and good. The green beans were really good. There was just one server and he was super good. Helpful, attentive and my water glass was always full. The vibe is clean and friendly. There are several not distracting TVs on. One playing a ?chinese? Show and the other spongebob square pants which was quite retro for me. There is good parking. read more

First time here and overall it was a good experience. The portions are HUGE, so definitely don't over order. We ended up with way more food than we could finish. We ordered the pork noodle, popcorn chicken, dumplings, and the coconut shrimp appetizer. The dumplings and coconut shrimp were really good, but I thought the pork noodle was a little bland and could've used more flavor. We ordered the popcorn chicken non-spicy, and I think it would've been better with a little spice. The service was fast, and our food came out quickly without much of a wait. The atmosphere is simple and traditional, nothing fancy, just a casual family-style restaurant. Overall, it's a good spot if you're looking for generous portions and quick service, but I'd like a little more flavor in the noodle dish. read more

Came with my wife and daughter for dinner, as my daughter's preschool is near by and I have been curious. Parking lot is on the smaller side, I had a little difficulty finding a spot. The restaurant wasn't full of customers yet, but about half filled with a few tables pushed together with a reservation sign. The interior is small, but open, clean and welcoming. The staff were working with a sense urgency, yet with friendliness and efficiency. They brought us water fairly quickly and took our orders a little later. Food came out timely, not too fast, not too slow. As it should when they properly cook the food to order (finish cooking?). The Xiao Long Bao was good. Not as "soupy" as I prefer, but the flavor was great. The skin was springy. The pan-fried vegetable dumplings were good. I'm not usually a fan of "pure" vegetable dumplings because there's usually too much mushrooms. This was a great filling ratio, would order again. My wife ordered the Mapo Tofu, she appreciated that it was vegetarian, since she cannot eat pork. She praised that it was flavorful and not overpowered with pure pickiness We'll likely come back. read more

I was expecting another dumpling house with the same flavors but this restaurant serves up more. Their flavor fusions are fun and exciting. Not just the same old dishes. Yet they do provide traditional dishes with flavors you recognize as well. For me tho it was the fun and different flavors they offer. The restaurant is well maintained and clean. Plenty of parking. The service was very friendly and they are happy to explain anything on the menu and recommend items to your taste. I will be back! read more

A yummy hole in the wall spot, Yum Dumpling is a fitting name for this establishment. My friend and I were craving dumplings and decided to give this place a try. The restaurant was pretty packed when we walked in, definitely a good sign, but we're immediately seated. You're given complimentary kimchi and crispy noodles to start. Nice to munch on. We opted to order the chili oil wontons, vegetable dumplings, and shrimp and chive dumplings. Everything was delicious, fresh, and flavorful. The skins of the dumplings are my favorite with a nice chewy and bouncy texture. Yum dumpling is going on my recommended list! read more

Yum Dumpling - I'm speechless! There was more I just couldn't captured - Noodles Near Me - Orange, California

I first visited Yum Dumpling last week, and it was so good that I've already been back for a second visit! The dumplings here are absolutely incredible super juicy, flavorful, and honestly even better than some of the more well-known dumpling spots. Every bite was packed with flavor, and you can really tell they're made fresh. The portions are also very generous, so you definitely get amazing value for the price. We also tried some shrimp dishes, and I was seriously impressed. The shrimp were HUGE, super fresh, and perfectly crispy. The walnut shrimp was especially delicious -- easily one of my favorites. What I really love about this place is that it's a family-owned restaurant with a wide variety of dishes. From different kinds of dumplings to noodles and more, there's so much to try and everything we had was satisfying. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. If you live nearby, this is a must-try spot !!! I highly recommend it. I already know I'll be coming back here often! read more

I live right down the street and the take out never fails, quick and efficient. We came here on soft opening day, it was packed and the even thought the craziness has died down (too bad for the owners) the quality hasn't changed. I always order the wontons in chili sauce and the green beans. I can do the sauce a little spicier but honestly no real complains. I'm here to stay! read more

Ordered to go, the inside was really nice and it looked like one of those traditional asian restaurants. the workers were moving quick and could tell they just wanted to serve you the food was amazing! but beware the cucumber salad was quite spicy for me and I am pretty good with spice.

Nice family owned spot, we were looking for a pace with noodles and dumplings and this was perfect and not too far away. They seem to be newly opened and are in a nice cozy interior and I quite liked the ordering system using a dry erase marker on a laminated menu to mark what you want. Service was great and we were greeted with smiles and warned of warm bowls and plates. Shrimp and Pork wonton with chili oil: good little appetizer, i liked the splash of green on it from the green onions and had a good home made taste. Flavored Beef Tendon and Golden Prime Beef Soup: The spicy broth was excellent, savory and rich with a pleasant spice level. Noodles were good and for both dishes I loved having something green in the bowl to make it more appetizing. XLB + Pan Fried Buns: The thing we noticed with both of these were there was very little broth/soup inside which is one of the main reasons to order these dishes. The pan fried buns were still soft and not all the way crispy on bottom. Salt and Pepper Fried Fish: I love this dish so much and will order it when I think someone will make it right. Their version is very nice with fluffy fish inside and a crunchy slightly spicy outer layer. We had a mistake on our receipt where they only billed us for 2 soups when we got three and I happily corrected it and paid the proper amount to not "steal" from them. Thank you for the good food. read more

We came by here at midday on a Friday. Parking was a bit tight in the small shared lot. A friendly server greeted as we came in the door. We were immediately given menus and our drink order. taken. The restaurant was clean and bright. We ordered the house chow mein and the pan fried pork and chive dumplings. The server brought us complimentary crispy noodles and kimchi while we waited on our food. It would have been nice if a sauce and/or spicy mustard had accompanied the noodles. Our wait for our food was relatively short. The chow mein was very good. Though, a bit on the oily side. Generous amounts of chicken, shrimp and beef were in this dish. The pan fried dumplings were very good. They were nice and crisp. This was the first time I had this type of dumpling. The service was outstanding. Our server was very attentive to our needs, appropriately checking on us throughout our meal. Prices were meh. When you are ordering everything à la carte, it gets rather expensive. A lunch special or combo plate would be nice for solo diners and those just grabbing a quick bite for lunch and unable to deal with a bunch of leftovers. I would like to return to try some of their other offerings. read more

Yelp Elite here and finally tried Yum Dumpling and it did not disappoint. Starting with the food because that's really why you come here. The chicken soup dumplings were a standout since most places only offer pork. The broth was rich and comforting. My favorite dish was easily the shrimp and pork wontons in chili oil. They were packed with meat, super flavorful, and had just the right amount of heat. The kalbi was juicy and well marinated. I also appreciated seeing beef chow fun on the menu since it's not super common. The signature flavored beef noodle was another highlight. Tender beef, chewy noodles, and a broth that was bold and full of flavor. The shrimp fried rice was simple but solid and tied everything together nicely. Service was friendly and welcoming. Food came out at a good pace and the staff were helpful when it came to recommendations. The space itself is cozy, clean, and inviting. A great spot for a casual meal where the food really shines. Overall, a solid spot if you're craving dumplings and noodles. Definitely a place I'd come back. read more

Yum Dumpling - Noodles Near Me - Orange, California

Bottom Line Up Front: Yum Dumpling is a pleasant surprise, delivering great Chinese food with good service in a clean setting. The Background: I rarely go out to have Chinese food in Orange County because I find most places to be average at best. Normally if I have a craving, I drive up to the Rowland Heights area for authentic Chinese food. So going to Yum Dumpling I had some apprehensions. Thankfully, I had nothing to fear. The Food: My wife and I ordered popcorn chicken to start and the beef tendon noodle soup and sweet-and-sour tenderloin as entrees. The popcorn chicken pieces were quite large and juicy while the breading on the outside was crispy and perfectly seasoned. The noodle soup was flavorful with just the perfect amount of szechuan -- a little kick but not so spicy that it numbs your mouth. And the sweet-and-sour tenderloin was solid. The batter was a little softer than I would like; I prefer it a little crispier to balance out the syrupy goodness so that each piece wouldn't get soggy. But still, the flavors were there and the meat was moist and tender. The Setting: Brightly lit with orange walls and light colored wooden tables, the place is clean and has a warm, inviting atmosphere. However, for a sit-down restaurant, it's a little on the smaller side. There's a small counter for 2 people, about 4 tables for 4 people, and 4 tables for 6 people. And with limited space, it would be difficult to combine tables for parties of 8 or more. Oh, and I found it odd for a sit-down restaurant with beautiful bowls, plates, and utensils to serve drinking water in cheap, disposable plastic cups. The Location: It's on busy Chapman Avenue in a small strip mall with a small parking lot with limited spots. Plus, each parking spot is a little narrow, so if you drive an SUV or truck, it'll be a tight squeeze getting in and out if your door. The Prices: Maybe I'm slow or living in the past, but the cost of food is creeping up everywhere, and Yum Dumpling is no exception. Prices range from $7 to $10 for appetizers, $10 to $20 for side dishes, and $14 to $20 for entrees. Our dinner for two came out to be about $52 with tip -- a little higher than expected for a place that serves water in a plastic cup. The Service: Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, he was basically the only one working the entire floor. There was a female server too, but we rarely saw her. This meant a little slower service than expected given the relative size of the place. The Conclusion: While not flawless, Yum Dumpling serves up tasty and authentic Chinese food (a rarity in Orange County) in a clean environment with friendly service. We look forward to returning and trying the other dishes. read more

Not only is the food delicious but the customer service is top tier!!! My family and I love to come to yum dumpling.

Went to try this place today, i keep seeing it by my house and glad i did. We went with the combination chow fun, combination fried rice, green onion pancake, cucumber salad, spam masubi and the green beans. Everything was excellent, my favorites were the chow fun and the green beans. The fried rice was ok, but not as good as it looks. I was looking forward to the cucumber salad but it's soggy, taste is awesome but the look make it less appealing and not very likeable. The geeen onion pancake was really good and crispy. Portions are good, I'm not a fan of the dishes they serve they serve the food in but that's just me. Service was awesome, not too many people in there and our server was helpful and the food came out pretty fast. Lots of seating and doesn't have the funky smell the precious business that was there had. All in all, if you keep it to 2-3 dishes, this place will do the job. read more

Yum Dumpling in Orange, CA has officially become my new weekday go-to, whether I'm grabbing takeout or dining in. They just reopened and everything is SO fresh, flavorful, and comforting. And honestly starting every meal in house with kimchi?? Say. Less. Who doesn't love kimchi?! The service is great, the owner even came out to check how we were enjoying everything! Every available table is set up and ready to go if dinning in. Here's everything I ordered this round: * Fruit tea combo (delicious) * Combination fried rice * Green onion pancakes * Signature Flavored Beef Noodle soup ($15) -Fresh made hand pilled noodles! * Juicy Pork Xiao Long Bao * Siu Mai * Beef Short Ribs Everything was superb, but the dumplings, beef soup and short ribs were chef's kiss.

It's been a while since I've visited and I'm glad I did! The young lady who assisted us is very nice. The staff did a great job at keeping the place clean We ordered brown sugar mochi, beef noodle, pork over noodle, pork xlb. Brown Sugar Mochi- This was a delightfully sweet treat! The mochi has the perfect amount of chewiness and the brown sugar is delicious. Beef Noodle- Hits perfectly on a cold day! The broth is rich, savory, and perfectly spiced. The noodles were nice and chewy. They give a generous amount of tender beef chunks. Pork Over Noodle- The minced pork sauce has a nice blend of savory and sweet. Julienned cucumbers and corn add a layer of texture. Pork XLB- These dumplings are juicy and meaty with a savory finish. Served piping hot so be careful with making sire it cools a bit. A must-try! Glad to be back! Would definitely go again. read more

It really feels like Yum Dumpling got a fresh start! New ownership or chef maybe--but whatever changed, it's definitely for the better. The cozy mom-and-pop vibe is still there, just more polished than my last visit. The menu is a noticeable upgrade, clearer and easier to order from. We tried a good mix of dishes and everything delivered: juicy pork xiao long bao, plump shu mai, classic pork & chive dumplings, and beef & brown onion pan-fried dumplings with a nice crispy sear. The beef chow fun was smoky, savory, and satisfying. Complimentary kimchi leaned on the sweeter side, and the cucumber salad was refreshing--just be careful with the red chilies, they definitely bring heat . Only small note: if you prefer more traditional tangy kimchi, the sweetness might not be for you, but it's complimentary so no real complaints. We came in around 1:30 after the lunch rush, and service was relaxed, friendly, and attentive. The restaurant was clean, including the bathroom, which is always a plus. We were completely full but still grabbed the brown sugar mochi to-go--no regrets. Overall, Yum Dumpling feels refreshed and back on the right track. Easily back in my dumpling rotation. read more

Went for dinner on a Wednesday night and the place was full. The restaurant was bright and not too loud. We had to wait about 20 minutes to get a table as a group of 3. Staff was courteous and very helpful. I had the coconut shrimp which was crunchy and delicious, followed by the chicken fried rice. I have to say this was one of the most flavorful fried rice I have had. I also tried the scallion pancake which was flaky and crunchy. My friends ordered the chive pork pan fried dumpling, which I tried and was not impressed. It was lacking in flavor in my opinion. I will definitely be back for the fried rice. Key tip...the front parking lot is small, so check the one behind the restaurant. read more

Stopped by for a dinner break from my tattoo session down the street. I noticed that the menu items were family style dishes so I just asked for extra plates/bowls so I could eat separately and take the rest togo. Happy to take everything togo because the food here is solid. The Beef Chow Fun had great smoky wok flavor and really tender (almost too soft) beef. The Hot & Sour soup is as expected. I didn't try the dumplings because this was already too much food for me but they looked great. Free sides included crunchy mein gon and a very saucy kimchi ? There's elderly chinese dining here so that's a sign its decent! The servers are VERY attentive and accommodating. Would definitely come back if im in the area, perhaps with a group instead! There's chinese music playing on a flashing LED speaker and the restaurant is very peaceful. read more

If you love dumplings, you have to try Yum Dumpling! The dumplings are handmade, juicy, and full of flavor. Their Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings) are a must-order. We tried several dishes and everything was so delicious. The Juicy Pork Xiao Long Bao was full of soup and flavor -- one of our favorites. The Hot Dry Noodles were very fragrant, and the Beef Tendon Noodle Soup was rich and comforting. We also ordered Combination Fried Rice, Broccoli Beef, and Sauteed String Beans -- everything tasted fresh and very tasty. The service was very friendly, and they have free parking, which is a big plus. The restaurant is clean and cozy. This place is perfect for authentic Chinese food and the food is made fresh when you order. Definitely a great spot for dumplings and noodles! My kids love this place.

**Honestly it's 4.5 but I rarely give 5 stars for restaurants so 4 stars is pretty high** This review is for a delivery order & it was our first time. It's probably the most legit place in this part of the city. Tastes like what u will find in Rowland heights/irvine. Soup is flavorful and the noodle texture is good even when it's a delivery order, also absorbed the flavor from the soup as intended. The tendon was braised well. The beef and broccoli was what you would expect, good flavor and the beef quality was decent. Will return to try other dishes. read more
