theres lots of variety on the menu, from dumplings and buns to noodles and more traditional entrees, so theres a little something for everyone. the service is fast and friendly and everything comes packaged in convenient and super cute takeout containers both the chicken and pork xiao long bao were great and had a lottt of soup. the pan fried thumb buns were also delicious with a crispy bottom. the noodles and spicy dumplings were just okay... id probably skip those next time. we especially enjoyed the kung pao chicken, basil chicken, and the other stir fried dishes! the brown sugar boba was also super fresh and chewy overall, a solid spot with lots of great options. id def come back for the xiao long bao and stir fry dishes! read more

I ordered delivery in DoorDash. They had a BOGO deal on soup dumplings and a single combo special so it was a great value. I was really impressed by the packaging as they give a heat regulated thermal bag for the order. I appreciated that they have a number of non pork options as I don't eat pork. The chicken soup dumplings were flavorful though I'd have liked more soup. I put some red pepper flakes on top as there was no chili oil provided. The combo came with general tso's chicken and I opted for lo mein instead of fried rice. The dish as delicious but the chicken was dry. The combo also came with 2 thumb print pork dumplings which I didn't try and regular chicken dumplings which lacked a bit of flavor. There was also a spring roll which was just very greasy. It also came with egg drop or sweet and sour soup. I'm not a fan of either so I skipped it. All in all, great value and good but not amazing food. read more

We waited 65 minutes for our food while dining in and saw over 20 to go orders go out the door. They thought they had completed our ticket but never did. We told them numerous times what was missing and they could never get it together. It was the worst. After 1.5 hours, we asked for a refund of what was missing and they insisted that we got the food. Ambiance is pretty bland. admittedly the food we got was delish but their management sucks. read more

I love coming to 88 Dumpling House. When I want to treat myself to some soup dumplings, hot and sour soup and the freshest chicken fried rice I come here. Everything is made to order. One time came here and they made me some fresh soup dumplings (yes I waited because that was what I wanted). I will travel across Houston just to have the chicken fried rice. It's pay first and then have a seat. The food comes out as it ready, so everything is hot and prepared fresh. Never had bad service here. It's my guilty pleasure, hole in the wall'ish no frills restaurant. Have a seat and wait for the food to pour out of the kitchen one by one. Located in a shopping center and there is parking. read more

88 Dumpling House - Singapore Stir Fried Glass Rice Noodle(With Beef Chicken Squid And Vegetables Shreds) Hot & Sour Soup Noodles - Pan Asian Near Me - Houston, Texas

Ordered a delivery deal to satisfy a late-night dumpling craving. My food was done quick. Overall, it's a decent spot, though not necessarily "destination" food. The dumpling wrappers for the soup dumplings are thick, which might not be for everyone. However, the pork and cabbage filling was flavorful, crispy, and hit the spot. Solid for a quick fix, but nothing out of the ordinary. read more

88 Dumpling House - Beef Soup Dumplings Pork & Cabbage Dumpling - Pan Asian Near Me - Houston, Texas

Service was awesome, quick, and polite. Probably the best Chinese food I've ever had. Wasn't too expensive either.

Got takeout on a late Friday evening. Service is minimal, you order through a touchscreen kiosk. I wish the kiosk had more pictures or descriptions of the different menu items because it was a bit of a guess on what some things were. Service was quick, approximately 15 minutes between placing my order and receiving my to go bag from the kitchen. They have a side area with sauce and water but we were in a hurry to go so we forgot to grab sauce. Food was okay. The thumb buns were my favorite, juicy with a little crisp and a nice flavor profile with the black sesame seeds on top. They're actually a little bigger than thumb size but every bite was delicious. The braised beef noodles were a good portion but did taste bland. The four-color dumplings were good, had some unique flavors that were different from each other. Unfortunately, had one dumpling, maybe a beef one, that the filling seemed really undercooked. Overall, 3.5/5 for food. Probably not a place I'll go out of my way for but definitely a place to hit up for when the dumpling cravings hit. read more

88 Dumpling House - Braised Beef Noodles, Four-Color Dumpling, Thumb Size Pan Fried Bun (6P)Pork - Pan Asian Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've been wanting to try this dumpling place for a while. They have a variety of options including chicken, beef and shrimp in addition to the pork which I don't consume. You place the order on a giant screen when you walk in and pick up your order at the window. The staff is very friendly and kind. I tried the chicken soup dumplings and they were amazing. Plenty of soup filling inside and flavorful chicken. Enjoy it with the crunchy chili sauce and it's a party in your mouth. The Japanese curry dumplings were good but a bit too doughy. My friend had the shrimp steamed dumplings which were good as well. They serve milk tea drinks as well. I'll going on my list for my dumpling fix! read more

The dumplings are okay nothing special about it. We ordered the Chicken dumplings and it has good flavor but i think the skin is a little thick and the spicy hot pot dumplings, the flavor is okay but the skin is thick. We also tried the Malaysian sambal fried rice and this is a good one. The flavor is good and a lot of meat. The things that i don't like is the plastic flimsy utensils especially the soup spoon and the restroom is not well maintained, the is no soap. We also tried some of the drinks and they are ok. For me this place is good for take out but not exceptional. read more

Some hits and misses, mostly just ok. Decent for the area but I wouldn't make it a destination. Hits (note none of these are dumpling related): green beans, Thai basil pork, Malaysian sambal fried rice, walnut shrimp Misses: beef roll, beef soup dumplings Everything else we had was fine but unremarkable. I've had their frozen dumplings before (chicken, 3 treasure) and they were pretty good. Shared parking lot. Every dish is served in a takeout container which can be convenient, but I find super wasteful. read more

TL;DR: Good soup dumplings, will be back to try more flavors. Cost: Slightly on the pricey side for the amount you get, but we found it be an acceptable value. Food: We enjoyed all the dumplings we tried. The regular soup dumplings were good, but my favorite were the hot pot soup dumplings. Service: Ordered at the kiosk and received what we ordered in a reasonable amount of time. Ambiance: Nothing fancy here, but was nice and clean. Overall: Slightly pricey, but I'd recommend giving them a try. read more

Delicious dumplings near the med center! Order at a kiosk, take a table number, and your food will be delivered to you. There was ample seating and a sauce station. Overall, the food was delicious with the spicy wanton in chili oil being my favorite, despite not usually being a chili oil fan. Second fav was the soup dumpling! Least favs were the three delicacies dumplings and potstickers, as I thought the dumpling wrapping was too thick for both. We came during their grand opening special, where they gave us back 50% of our subtotal in the form of a gift card to be redeemed next visit! Needless to say, I will return to try more on their huge menu. read more

I really enjoyed their sesame chicken lunch special. It is a lot of food and good value. The soup was chunky and perfect balance of hot and sour. The sesame chicken wasn't too sweet and tasted yummy. It also came with 5 pork finger dumplings and an egg roll! All of this for lunch special less than $15. They have a lot of different lunch combos to choose from, but FYI, they will not make any changes or accommodations in any of their prefixed lunch deals. read more

88 Dumpling House - $12.99 lunch special , Sesame Chicken Thumb Size Pan Fried Bun (5P)Pork Spring Roll Qingjiang Cuisine Egg Drop Soup (Hot And Sour Soup) - Pan Asian Near Me - Houston, Texas

I wanted to like this place, but the service received was very unpleasant. I ordered their weekday lunch special, which was advertised as $12.99 on the automated ordering kiosks, but the final charge was $16 + tips. Since the difference was only a few dollars more, I didn't think much of it, but the place is definitely lacking price transparency. Once I grabbed a table number and seated, the food arrived relatively quickly. From where I was seated, I could see that the fried rice was premade and kept warm in a rice cooker. The hot and sour soup came out next and likely was also premade in batch. The beef entree and the fried dumplings took a while longer, so I assume those were made fresh to order. While waiting, I had a bit of time to observe the surroundings. Since I visited in the mid-afternoon, it was relatively empty restaurant with just my table and the staff. I noticed that one of the staff was coughing and seemingly feverish as she slouched her shoulders and walked sluggishly around the restaurant checking on the utensils stand and wiping down other used tables. Later while eating, I overheard the staff tell the floor manager in Chinese that she wasn't feeling well, which confirmed my suspicion. Toward the end of the meal, the floor manager was close enough to my table, so I waved her to my table and recommended that the sick staff wear a mask if she's not feeling well given that's a health hazard to visitors of the restaurant and the many medical professionals who also order takeaways from this location. The floor manager pretended to not know about the other staff member being sick and asked how I knew, to which I responded with the symptoms that I observed earlier. Then she shifted her tone and seemed to acknowledge the feedback given my descriptions, but as I observed for the next 15 min, she did not approach the other staff member at all to confirm nor address the situation. I was very disappointed in the way the situation was handled, and it left me with unease as I finished the remainder of my meal. Once I was done, I stood and asked the floor manager what is the process for handling the table cleanup, since all the food was served in disposable containers but there was no trash bin in my line of sight. The floor manager smiled at me mockingly and said "of course you have to throw everything away and then we can wipe the table when you are gone". I asked where the trash bin was, and all she did was point to the back. Even when she saw me pile up all the containers between my hands, she did nothing to assist nor even verbally offer assistance even though there was no one else waiting on her for anything. I ended up leaving my own belongings at the table to carry all the trash in one attempt. As I approached the back, another staff walked into the restaurant with the emptied trash bins, so I stood to wait until the bins were placed back into the box. While waiting, the large fan next to the trash bin almost blew some of the napkins and wrappers out of my food containers. I walked back to my table to grab my belonging and provided the feedback on the fan placement, and again, the floor manager merely nodded, not offering any apologies for the experience despite witnessing the whole scene. Overall, the food portions were large and the quality was good, but it's not worth it for the unpleasant dining experience, especially if there's nothing to demonstrate that they place the same emphasis on health and safety. read more

Went here for lunch 10/3/2025! I placed an order online and it was already ready. The workers were so kind and welcoming, so sweet! They made me feel like they were happy to see me. All of this food was for $11.99!! So cheap!! The food was amazing and I am definitely coming back. The beef fried noodles, beef dumplings, and egg drop soup were so good! I didnt even get to try the egg roll yet because the portion size is huge!!! I also got passionfruit boba and thai green tea and both were good! The restaurant was clean and neat. read more

This place is super cute! You order from a kiosk, choose whether you want to dine in or take your food to go, grab a table number, and they'll bring it right to you when it's ready. Everything comes in to-go boxes, which is perfect -- if you don't finish, you can just take it home. The atmosphere has a lot of potential, and the food was delicious. The fried rice was amazing, and the truffles were surprisingly good. Honestly, everything I tried was solid. It's definitely a spot I can see growing into something even better, but as it is now, it's already worth checking out. read more

Ordered from door dash. The regular chicken boiled dumplings tasted great. The beef dumplings had a sour flavor, not sure if this is normal. Prices were fair. The soup dumplings are machine made so don't come here for soup dumplings. The rest of the cooked dishes were standard run of the mil. read more

Great flavors and overall a very enjoyable meal. The dumplings were tasty and well-seasoned, with fillings that really stood out. The only downside was that the wrappers were a little thicker than I prefer, and the prices felt slightly on the high side. That said, the quality and flavor made it worth trying, and I'd happily come back again. read more

I wanted to give 88 Dumpling House a higher rating based on their friendly service, clean restaurant, ease of ordering on the kiosks, and their tasty and massive Tom Yum seafood soup with tons of protein (shrimp, mussels, clams, squid, and interestingly chicken). However, the dumplings were a letdown. We tried three different types and each had a general lack of flavor and the pork and beef had very little filling. The four color soup dumplings also lacked soup filling and didn't really taste different between each option (we only received 3 colors, so not sure if the fourth was out/not available). It may be a better value to go for their lunch special and maybe grab one of the non dumpling options. I recommend trying the Tom Yum because the broth was the best part of my meal. It had a nice balance of salty and sour flavor and good proportions overall between the amount of broth, noodle, and protein. read more

The food was good but it was pretty expensive in my opinion but I never judge off the price. I've honestly have had better with the same price range so that's why my rating is kind of low. As well as, the ordering was a bit weird since they have screens you can order yourself. The people who bring out your food were nice so I'm grateful for that. The overall place is just a normal restaurant not really a theme but it's nice and clean. I wouldn't really come here again but the food was good. read more

A delicious and affordable dumpling spot right by the Med Center, so you don't have to drive all the way to Chinatown for authentic soup dumplings!! My boyfriend and I came hungry so we definitely over ordered. We were told by the employee to order at the kiosk before sitting for dine in, but the tables have QR codes to order, so not sure how that works. We spent $77, but we had plenty of leftovers! Most of the dishes we got were delicious and we'd definitely come back to try more! Only dish we probably wouldn't get again was the mapo tofu because it was quite bland compared to other restaurants we've had it at. The soup dumplings were juicy and hot! The pan fried shrimp potstickers come with a whole shrimp inside each, which I thought was pretty unique because the shrimp is usually minced in the ones I've had before. The spicy chicken was yummy and crispy. read more

Right next to the Marriott. Everything was great. The lemon bubble tea was very tasty. Pork & cabbage pot stickers had nice flavor, soup dumplings made me smile, the crab wontons were the best crab wontons I've had. Last second decision on my order too. It's very clean and open inside. They made my food in less than 10 minutes. The ladies working were very friendly. Checked on me a few different times. I left impressed. Dumplings have never been a favorite.

Clean and organized dining room, good amount of seating. Dumplings are good but the price is painful. Could get on par or even better dumplings for the same price. At the time we got there it wasn't busy, about 5 other tables, and they take forever to come out, took about 30-45 minutes for 4/5 dumpling dishes to come out. At the hour mark we ended up getting a refund for our last dumpling dish we were missing. They only have one employee on the floor which doesn't help in their speed, however the employee we had was nice and got our refund fast and easy. 5/10 would recommend read more

Great new Chinese restaurant that just soft opened in the same shopping center as Jollibee across from the Bakers Son in the old Cherry Foodarama space. We were excited to see a small casual local Chinese eatery in the neighborhood serving up everything from a variety of dumplings, potstickers, soup dumplings (Xiao long bao), rice dishes like walnut shrimp and Thai basil pork or chicken, as well as many other dishes. We ordered an assortment of items this evening and we enjoyed everything we had. We will come back to try more of the menu which is predominantly Chinese influence, but they do have other influences like Vietnam style egg rolls and Thai dishes like last. We also loved how everything is served in easy to go casual containers that we can pack up any leftovers. Two thumbs up! read more

Some classmates and I went to 88 dumpling house after our radiology lab since we were all starving. They recently opened in the little Filipino plaza in the med center. They currently have a promotion where if you show them an ad video on Instagram, then you get some free dumplings as well as 15% off of your order. There's a self order kiosk as well as a self service area along the wall. We ordered the soup dumplings, chocolate soup dumplings, thumb size pan fried buns, and wontons in chili oil. The soup dumplings had no soup at all and the wrapper was way too thick. The chocolate dumpling was decent but I wish the chocolate was more melted, I felt like there was still a chunk in it. The thumb size buns were ok as well, a little dry. The wontons were the best thing we tried taste wise, but the wrapper broke too easily. Two other friends came later and ordered different things and they were much better and enjoyable. The soy sauce and vinegar felt tasteless as if it didn't affect the taste at all. The guy we talked to only spoke Chinese and didn't understand us so we never got our free dumplings. The 15% discount is also just 15% off of your order put onto a card for a future visit, which they didn't advertise beforehand. I was pretty disappointed in this place but was glad I was able to hang out with some classmates read more

Four color plater - this is a unique dish. Each dumplings has it's color and the fillings are different. Pork soup dumplings xia long bao - the dumplings is delicious. Don't forget to get a spoon to catch the soup from the dumplings. Lemon black tea - refreshing. Will come back to try their other dishes. read more

This is a great new spot. We've been twice now and had good experiences both times despite what we've decided to call "learning experiences." Highlights: Most food is very good, pricing is reasonable, portions are generous, service is efficient with a kiosk order and then bussed delivery to your table. Quality is pretty high and the employees have a lot of pride and ownership of their establishment. They feel responsible for ensuring you have a good experience and it really shows. Cucumber salad is wonderful. It's a salty salad as opposed to a vinegary acidic one. We love it. Cilantro makes it bright and there's a touch of spice. Spicy wontons are my favorite, I eat an entire order myself. Don't miss this. Shrimp and pork dumplings are my wife's favorite. HUGE 4 bite dumplings with a whole shrimp!! Thank you for not mincing it!!! The texture is important! Mini bao's were good and all rice dishes we've tried were done well. A couple of draw backs or detractions we note... You have to ask for ice and their options for flatware, cups, plating and napkins etc are all take-out grade. Paper, plastic and disposable. For dine in, it would be nice to have metal utensils if not using chopsticks. (Wooden chopsticks are fine...) The tiny 4"x4" cocktail napkins are particularly annoying. Please, just get some paper towels or something. Also the XLB were terrible. This iconic dish just couldn't be done any worse. Thick thick dough, no soup, flavorless filling. We have ordered it twice. The first time we -thought- we'd accidentally been served mini bao. They replaced it (again, lots of ownership and pride from the employees! Double thumbs up for the service) and it was the same thing! We thought surely it was a new employee. Surely they can't be that poorly executed... Trip number two and we tried again... same thing. We learned our lesson and will just order the stuff we like from now on. So over all, stay away from the XLB and don't expect anything beyond take out quality plating and utensils and you should do quite well! We'll be back for sure. They're handing out gift cards for an order of dumplings to dine in customers to drum up some business. Please go! Good folks trying hard!! read more

AMAZING AMAZING-Ah-MAZING!!! The food is made FRESH and is handmade!! Everything is seasoned- not SALTED or over Soy- Sauced, but SEASONED to Perfection! Food comes out steaming hot and so so beautifully presented, ( looks magazine worthy). Tried the Pork & Cabbage Pot stickers, the Seafood Dumplings/stickers and the Thai Basil Beef. All were absolutely delicious! MEATY, Juicy and great proportions. Took home Half of what we ordered for 2 people. The facility was sparkling clean, fresh and inviting. Prices are Great also! Thank you to the young lady who assists people with ordering. The staff is vey gracious and welcoming. If I were grading on a 10 point scale- This spot would receive a 20!
