    Dumplings and Chinese Dishes [Cameron Park CA] On the way home coming from Highway 50 from Lake Tahoe we stopped by this dumpling restaurant for dinner. Only knew about this place when we came here in the morning to get some donuts next door so we said we'd come back the same way coming home to try it out. We ordered Dumpling Soup, Beef Broccoli and Pork Fried Rice. The serving was generous and the food was good. While the quality of the food is crucial the restaurant ambiance could use a little appeal like décor, lighting, colors, seating, and such, that can bump up the dining experience besides the food. Patio seating is the same. Most of the people that came in and out of the restaurant were takeouts, Dashers and other food delivery services. It was only us and another family were dining in... probably out of towners too. This is a counter service restaurant. Order up front and they will serve your food to your table. Will be back to try the dumplings which they offer steamed, pan-fried, or deep-fried. Review #3739

    It makes my heart so happy when I find places like Yummy Dumplings, especially when I am in the mood for delicious dumplings! This place is located right off the 50 in a tiny strip mall. Parking is tight, but doable. I was in the area to get my car serviced so I stopped here before my appointment. The entrance is extremely unassuming, with an equally spartan interior. But don't let that fool you. I didn't really have any expectations set for Yummy Dumplings as I have a pretty high bar for dumplings and didn't want to disappoint myself if they weren't great. But I was very pleased with my lunch. I went with an order of pork and chive dumplings as well as a house fried rice. You order and pay before taking a seat. For $12, you get 10 stuffed, juicy dumplings that come with two dipping sauces, which complimented the dumplings nicely. I also asked for chili oil, which had a lovely roasted flavor. The fried rice was also good. It wasn't exceptional, but it paired well with my dumplings and I liked the texture of the rice itself. I was the only person dining in, so it was a quiet place to enjoy my food. Several people came in during my lunch to pick up their phone orders. During my meal, the owners were chatting away in Cantonese. Next time maybe I'll order in Canto. Yummy Dumplings also offers other classic Chinese fare such as kung pao chicken. I posted an updated menu as part of my review. All the prices are extremely affordable, especially the dumplings! They even have a small drink menu, which I'd be down to try next time I visit. For a tiny, family-run restaurant in Cameron Park, this place is goooood. It's unusual to find good dumplings away from major cities (okay I know it's not that far from Folsom but Cameron Park is a pretty small town), so I'm very happy to have found this place. I can't wait to take my husband here next time we're in the area!

    Just yummy dumplings and noodles. Pan fried or steamed you can't go wrong! They have other dishes as well but I go here for the dumplings! Service is always friendly in this casual family owned eatery.

    This small corner restaurant is located on the shopping complex near the freeway exit. We arrived there for lunch on Saturday noon and were seated immediately. - Pork & chive dumplings: BEST dumplings in the area! The dumpling is big! The skin was soft & not too thick. The pork filling was flavorful and juicy! The soy sauce dip was sweet yet savory - perfect for the dumplings. - Chicken & snowpeas: delicious. The veggies (snowpeas, carrot, bell pepper, onions & celery) were fresh and still crunchy. The chicken pieces were tender. And the portion was big. - BBQ pork bao: these were delicious pan fried bao. The bun was soft and fluffy. My kid said the filling was tasty. I didn't have a chance to taste it as my kid finished it all. - Sweet & sour chicken: ok. The portion was quite generous. The chicken pieces were crispy but few pieces were a bit overcooked. The sauce was a bit too sweet for my liking.

    Came here just for the dumplings, and I wasn't disappointed. The woman at the counter who took my order was very friendly and smiling. I said we'd like to eat outside, and she said sure. (There was no one sitting outside at the time.) Another woman came to wipe down our table, and not too long after that, the woman who took my order brought it to our table. She apologized for the wait, which was actually only about 5 minutes. My understanding is that their dumplings are either boiled ("dumplings") or fried ("pot stickers"). The latter can be prepared either pan fried or deep fried (your choice). I had the veggie dumplings (so, boiled). They were super fresh (and hot!), and filled with small bits of veggies. I know there were carrots, and maybe celery, chives, ...? Honestly, I'm not sure what was in there, but it was a delicious mixture. The dipping sauce they gave was a delicious blend of sweet, salty, and spicy, with none of those three overwhelmingly strong. You might think 10 dumplings wouldn't be enough for a meal, but for me, it definitely was. They're quite filling, and a good deal for the price. And so tasty!

    Surprise! Super tasty "General Chicken", "Veggie Dumplings", and "Chicken Fried Rice" in Cameron Park! It turned a regular Tuesday into something special.

    At first glance, this place is a complete hole in a wall. Ambiance and charm is zero. But what they do have are yummy dumplings. Hey what a minute... that is also the name of the place. The dumplings are served steamed or pan fried. Either way, there yummy. There are various protein filling. My fave is the ground pork and chives. I have no particular preference in having them steamed or pan fried. Both are delicious. Anyways besides dumplings, they have other menu items such as soups and entrees. The hot n sour is sooo darn good. It is deliciously sour and spicy with a thick smooth consistency. It has bamboo shoots and tofu. The blistered garlic Chinese string beans is another fave. I mentioned this place gives off hole in the wall vibe, but not meaning it to be unclean. Right when you walk in, you might have flashbacks to the 1990s or even earlier due to the basic decor and restaurant furniture. You may also see someone sitting in the corner assembling those yummy dumplings. They do it so quickly and precisely. I didn't get close, just noticed from afar.

    Amazing great food if you haven't been here you are missing out! Doesn't look great from outside but food is great!

    Fresh food that tastes homemade, you can see them making the dumplings and potstickers that are pan fried or deep fried to perfection. Love the generous helpings and it's a good takeout spot! Recommend the kimchi & pork deep fried dumplings, wor wonton soup and the honey walnut shrimp, although I've enjoyed every meal here. It's located in a strip mall but there's always parking.

We arrived a few minutes after 3 pm, when the restaurant opens for dinner. As you can imagine, we were a large group who were all hungry and ready to eat. We decided to go with the family dinner (special B) option that gives you the choice to select about a dozen menu items to share family style. This option also comes with soup, pork fried rice, egg rolls and fried shrimp for $18.50 a person. The ambience was quiet and similar to many other Chinese restaurants. They have booths and tables for smaller parties and larger rounded tables with a Lazy Susan for larger groups. The service was great. I was surprised how quickly all of the food came out. One plate after another, and suddenly the table was packed with hot food ready to eat. Everyone working was friendly and attentive, filling our cups with water, providing extra napkins, and checking on us frequently if we needed anything else. Oh, and the food was so good. I particularly loved the fried rice, broccoli beef, orange chicken, and Mongolian beef. To be honest, all of the food was delicious, but those stood out to me from the other plates we ordered. There was so much food that we couldn't eat everything, so we had plenty of takeout boxes to take food home. For the price of the family dinner options, you can't go wrong with a great price and the amount of food you get. It's very much worth it. If you are with a large group of friends and find yourself in Cameron Park, I highly recommend coming to China City to eat. You won't be disappointed. It's a hidden gem tucked away in a strip mall off of Highway 50.
