    Pork Xiao Long Bao
    Ashlyn L.

    We stopped by for an early dinner on Mother's Day! The inside was open seating and we easily found a comfortable table to dine at. You place your order with the screen at each table. The staff will bring you water or utensils if needed (there is a bucket of chopsticks on each table). All the food we got was pretty good. The green beans were sautéed perfect so they didn't lose the crunch. The shumai dumplings were so good. They were good size too! The soup dumplings were good but elevated when adding the provided sauces and chili oil as a topping. My mom felt like the rangoons could have been crispier but also mentioned that she likes the thicker wrappers they seem to use. Overall we had good food, good seating, and staff were nice and attentive. Would definitely stop by again!

    Ordered online through Door Dash on a Wednesday evening. When I went to pick up my order, they gave me someone else's and I didn't notice until I got home, so I had to drive back and get my order. Kinda both out faults for not double checking. I ordered the popcorn chicken, xiao long bao, bbq pork buns, and garlic green beans. The portion size of the green beans is huge and lasts several meals. The flavor and texture of everything is good. Loved the pork buns. I got to keep the other person's order and it was wontons in chili oil, chicken ramen, and the golden fried buns with condensed milk. I liked the buns the best.

    Wanted some dumplings and decided to try out this place with my family for dinner. You have the option to order at the counter or if able to sit down and enjoy the dim sum if a table is available. When you do sit down you get a "homey" feel and dim sum is just like asian soul food lol. There are servers but how you can order is through the ipad on your table which lists all the offered items and they'll bring it out to you. The food was so good and reasonably priced for the amount you get. We ordered xiao long bao, the chow mein, har gao and shu mai. We also got the grilled squid and ramen for my husband. Everything came out hot and fresh and the garlic sauce with the dumplings is like soo good i almost finished the whole bottle on my table. Definitely a go-to when craving soup dumplings and a recommendation for anyone looking for good dim sun within the west roseville area

    Shrimp fried rice

    This place always hits! I forgot to take a picture of their dumplings but I got veggie ones and also shrimp ones. The veggie ones are my fav! There's an assortment of veggies inside. I wish their fried rice and chow mein came with veggies in them; but the flavor is good. When I'm craving ramen, I come here.

    Lava juice

    4.5 out of 5 A quaint place that isnt about the ambiance but more about the food. True Chinese style with a slightly Americanized twist/fusion. We started with the beef roll, 10/10 highly recommend. My wife described it as pho in a roll and I'd say thats pretty accurate. The pancake was crispy but fluffy, beef tender and not too much hoisin...just enough. Shumai is on the smaller side, especially for the cost, but just ok in my opinion. Wife liked them. Pork and chicken dumplings have a thicker skin, but they weren't too chewy. Very juicy so be careful.... As a matter of fact everything is super juicy. The pan fried dumplings were so juicy, as a matter of fact, that theyre practically dangerous. I suggest poking a vent hole in each one as soon as you get them, but even then 5 minutes later the juice inside is still lava. Texture was incredible. So soft and fluffy on the outside, but very crunchy on the bottom yet also somehow fluffy. Chili oil dumplings have the same filling as the pork and chive dumplings, but with much thinner skins. One positive is that the skins don't disintegrate like in other spots. Real szechuan oil that numbs the mouth. Not really spicy but fills a craving if youre looking for something din tai fungish. All in all definitely worth the visit.

    I really liked my ramen and I ordered extra ajitama (the eggs) in it. The garlic cloves were delicious. I've tried the red bean baos & mango green tea boba before, and those are both super yummy. The touch screen table menus are cool

    Spicy beef soup
    Frances C.

    Neat and clean with attentive services Order on the iPad at the table and within minutes your food is served The pan fried dumplings are good, crispy at the bottom and the dumpling holds tasty broth, but eat it with caution, the broth is steaming hot. The spicy beef soup can be skipped it was just ok.

    We looking for something to eat and saw there was an 88 Bao Bao. We've been to the one in Rancho and liked it before, so we decided to try this new location. Inside was busy but we were able to get a table. There are several tables and booths. Each table has a tablet to order. Food came out pretty fast after ordering. Everything was great. We got the ramen, beef roll, chili oil wonton, and pan fried buns. The pan fried buns were our favorites. The beef roll was also good and beef was tender and decent slices. There was a vinegar sauce, garlic sauce, and chili oil on the table. The garlic sauce has a nice sweetness to it. Staff were nice. They helped keep our waters full and checked in on us. We will definitely back!

    Chicken chow mein

    88 Bao Bao has become one of our new local favorites. Conveniently located off of Blue Oaks. We love the ordering process and having a personal kiosk at your table. This way you can settle in and not be rushed to order. Once you place an order, the food comes out right away. Everything is so fresh and delicious. A cute and cozy spot for yummy dumplings and many other things on the menu.

    Had to come back again and again for Chilli oil noodles with side of grilled squid which has become my personal favorite

    Christine Q.

    Popped in while the car was charging at the charging station. Prices are reasonable. No wait and was seated fast. Ordering at the kiosk at the table was easy. Staff was nice and attentive. Food was good. I had a Ramen order and enjoyed it very much. A lot of food items to choose from on the menu.

    Shumai
    Gladys O.

    Came back again to try their other menu! I love that htere is no interaction since you can order everything thru the ipad on every table. The service was fast and freshly cooked. The grilled squid is my absolute favorite. It was cooked perfectly. The fried rice is sooo good that i finished off everything. The shumai is perfect and the wonton chili oil. Beef rolls are little too sweet but still good. Love the place and they are very quick and price is very affordable as well. Will come back again for sure. One of our chinese go to place.

    Quick seat yourself service for dine in Very convenient ordering system at the table We really enjoyed the crab Rangoon won tons The popcorn chicken wasn't exactly what we were looking for as we were slightly misled by the pictures on the menu and what came out but still a good dish The dumplings though were the show here xiao long bao and the fried buns were excellent Obviously a successful chain with great tried and true recipes in many different formats here and other locations

    So cute and professional

Normally, I hit up Yue Huang, but lately it's been giving "long wait, mild heartbreak." So I decided to branch out and found this hidden gem in Granite Bay...and let me tell you...BEST decision. You walk in and BAM!!!! Old school Chinese restaurant vibes. Red booths, classic decor, slightly run down in that "if these walls could talk, they'd recommend everything on the menu" kind of way. And if you know, you KNOW...that's when the food is about to slap. We came with a mission (aka hungry and slightly unhinged) and ordered: baked BBQ pork buns, shumai, har gow, shrimp rice rolls, pineapple baked custard buns, fried shrimp balls, and soup dumplings. Basically, if it could be steamed, fried, or stuffed...we said yes. It's clearly family run, which I love. Mom is running the show like a boss, kids are hustling, and since it was Mother's Day...CHAOS. Delicious chaos. Food flying out, servers holding trays of dumplings like treasures, stopping at your table and you're like "YES, THIS IS MY MOMENT"...and then they walk away to another table. Emotional rollercoaster. So many "Ooooh yay!" followed by "Ohhh man..." But honestly? It just built the suspense. Then OUR food arrived...and our eyes went WIDE. These dumplings are HUGE. Like, "one bite? absolutely not" huge. The BBQ pork buns were soft, fluffy, slightly sweet clouds of happiness. Har gow and shrimp rice rolls were perfectly steamed (no soggy sadness here ). Now, because it was busy, the shrimp had a bit of a split personality...some bites were perfectly snappy and delicious, others were just a little overcooked. Not tragic, just not living their absolute best life. But overall? Everything was GOOD. And then the check came...about $60 for ALL that food. I almost checked it twice like, "Ma'am...are you sure you charged me correctly?" Because that is a STEAL. What really got me though was the family. You could see the hustle, the stress, the love...all happening in real time. Even in the chaos, they were kind, smiling, and apologizing for the wait. That kind of heart hits different. Final verdict: great food, great value, and a whole lot of love. I'll definitely be back to try more of their main dishes. Until next dumpling craving...
