Totally enjoyed the restaurant! I had seen many videos about this place since I had been looking into places to eat in the southside of Austin and this place continued popping up. The place is such a classic dumpling spot, nothing flashy and nothing extravagant. BUT the food that was placed in-front of me, showed me WHY there's hype about the place. Everything posted about was great, super filling and super big portions. The service was also great too, staff were always super attentive. Like said the interior was nothing flashy, but that food is why it's always popping. Check out the menu and prices, trust me, pictures do NOT do justice. read more

I came in today for lunch for the first time. The was service was fast and prompt. We were allowed to sit anywhere we wanted and they had plenty of tables available. We went with the waitress recommendation and I was very pleased especially with the black pepper shrimp udon. We knew we wanted soup dumplings but the udon was the real star or the show. The soup dumplings were good too nothing crazy to rave about. Overall was a pleasant meal. The actual dining area is very bare so the ambiance is almost a little eery but if you want a solid meal this is a good place! read more

Bee Dumpling - Pork soup dumplings and black pepper shrimp udon - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Finally! Legit Chinese food in South Austin! I was so excited to try this place. Overall, the food is a solid A-, the service a B, the ambiance, well... maybe a B- (and that's me being generous). We had a large group, so tried quite a few things: - Soup dumplings (the crab and the pork): They're well filled, with a good chunk of meat in each. Both the crab and pork tasted really fresh, but a little under seasoned. The wrappers are on the thicker, stickier side, but not offensively so. - Beef roll: this was a crowd favorite. It skews a little sweet, heavy on the green onions, but it's yummy, and the fried roll gives a nice texture layer - Veggie egg rolls. Basic, but well prepared. - Bbq pork bun: Really nice. Soft, fresh, tasty. - Dry sautéed green beans. These were one of my favs! So good. Like I don't know how, but so good. - Braised beef tendon noodle soup: This was awesome. The broth is so rich, and the noodles are perfect. - Sesame balls: a little small, but tasty. - Chicken fried rice: again kinda basic, but solid The service was friendly and helpful, my only complaint is they didn't check on us much. Like we were trying to flag someone down for a while. Atmosphere: It's very clean, and I love the live food prep window--it adds a fun energy. That said, the interior feels a bit unfinished, like they haven't had the chance to fully dial in the vibe. Think bright lighting, a sparse setup, and a quirky mix of lantern-style and crystal light fixtures that don't totally match. Still, the food makes up for it. I will DEFINITELY be back. This place is already great, and with just a little polish--especially on the atmosphere side--it could be next level. read more

Happy for south Austin to have another Asian cuisine , especially since it replaces a legendary spot. My partner and I arrived at 1145 on a weekday and were pleasantly surprised to be greeted and seated immediately. There were probably 10 other tables being served throughout our lunch experience. You can order from a QR. code at the table and I assume you can order more and check out on their as well. I menu is straight forward and easy to understand, almost every item had a photo to reference. We got an order of salt and paper squid, pork soup dumplings, sesame balls. I was only taken back by the salt and pepper squid as I was expecting more body than rings. But it was well season/battered. The dumplings were very juicy initially but dry up quickly as the lid is taken and the dumplings dry out as it sits. Haha eat fast. The balls were okay. Nothing to crave for me... Our meal was $40 with tip which I would say it a bit steep for the amount of food. Regardless, the food was good so I can't wait to come back and try more things. read more

I ordered the crab soup dumplings, spicy shrimp soup, and shrimp lomein. Unfortunately, the only pic I grabbed was for the lomein and the dish I liked the least. The crab dumplings were great, the shrimp in both the soup and the lomein were great, but both were lacking flavor. I also really wanted to try the seafood dumplings, but I couldn't because it doesn't list what's in the seafood mix. My meal did come amazingly quick and hot at well! This was an Uber eats delivery, so cannot rate on the locations service or ambiance. read more

Bee Dumpling - Shrimp lomein - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

This restaurant is in the old Hao Hao space. There's lots of parking during the weekday. Servers were all so attentive! They were all extremely friendly. The owner, Jake was very nice. He took our order and also checked us out. To start, I had the cucumber salad, egg rolls, and pork soup dumpling. The cucumbers were thicker pieces which I liked and it had a lot of garlic slices which I really loved. The eggrolls had a nice crisp to it. The soup dumplings were really tasty! For my entree, I had the spicy beef noodle soup. The noodles are thinner than I'm used to but that's not a bad thing! Just something I noticed. The meat was super tender. So happy to have a good Asian spot in south Austin! read more

Place is really good, but I ordered the wrong thing. The first time I went, I dined in and ordered their spicy noodles, soup dumplings and their garlic spinach -- 10/10. This time I ordered kung pao chicken and a mystery fried rice? Idk what fried rice I got. Regardless, not very good. I just fumbled my take out night :/ read more

Bee Dumpling - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

I arrived early for lunch shortly after opening on the 21st. The food was tasty. I ordered a spicy chicken, hot and sour soup and egg rolls. I found the cabbage in the egg rolls to be a bit over cooked and devoid of much structure outside of the shell. The soup was good as was the entree. However portions were huge. While things can be taken home and were enough to feed four, for a single, the portions were over the top. The result is paying much more to have a meal with various items. I would have preferred something more like bento boxes or being able to get a cup of soup. Or two egg rolls vs 4. If you are a single diner and don't want to pay more for excess food I would not return. Otherwise I recommend limiting the palate to one item. The restroom had no toilet paper in one stall and the remaining stall only had a small amount. To dry your hands, the towel dispenser only provided two inches of paper at a time. To be so early in the day to have these issues seemed odd. read more

They make the dumplings by hand and you can watch through a window. We ate in and I think that would be best - everything we ordered except for the noodles wouldn't have traveled well. The soup dumplings were hot and tasty and the noodles were SPICY! All of the staff we interacted with was nice. We would come back if we're in the area! read more

We like to explore new places for lunch and Bee Dumpling is a hit! We ordered Spicy Chicken, Beef Mongolian and Pork Bok Choy dumplings. Delish! Although, the beef Mongolian dish could have used a little more steak but the veggies were perfectly grilled. Both orders came with a side of steamed to perfection rice. I'm not exaggerating, compliments to the cook. The chicken slightly crunchy, the rice fluffy separating easily, the beef was soft and the veggies crunchy. Service was good and the place was clean. Highly recommend read more

I love a good scallion pancake, and they have them here. Pork soup dumplings were delicious and I'd get them again. The tofu dish we got was meh. I'd heard you had to pay for rice separately but that no longer seems to be the case. Our entree came with white rice. Service was okay considering it was lunch and there were two servers and about five tables. It's relatively new. Hard to compare with the lovely host who remembered everyone's name and order when you walked in to the former Hao Hao. Thera plenty of parking. read more

Are here for the first time today. Everything was delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful.

The food was so good, and so much food for such a good price!!! It looks like a hole in the wall place, but don't let that deter you, it was so great. And the service was phenomenal, the staff were so helpful and friendly. read more

IMHO, this has to be the best pan-fried Chinese dumpling house in South Austin, and possibly the best in Austin metro area. Their dough reminds me of my mom's homemade recipe, which is very traditional. Their soup dumplings are also outstanding, and is on par with Ling Wu's soup dumplings. And unlike most other traditional Chinese restaurants, the service is good as well. Definitely one of my favorites in S. Austin. read more

Don't get me wrong, I love myself some crappy greasy Americanized Chinese food. But this isn't what this place tries to present itself as. And it definitely doesn't hit like that kind of Chinese food. How it got such a high rating confuses the heck out of me. Definitely not authentic and definitely not any where near as good as the reviews said. You ever have one of those meals that makes you feel like you wasted your calories? Yep this was one of those meals. Soup dumplings. Mid Shumai. Was this Shumai for ants? Scallion pancake. Soggy Wonton soup. For a dumpling place you'd think they'd be fresh. Nope same stuff from other shitty Chinese takeout spots Wontons in chili oil. Oddly sweet Crab Rangoon. Also oddly sweet, stale wrapper Beef noodle soup. Not bad. Green beans. Brown and wilted. Fish in chilli oil. Where was the fish?? Yang Chou fried rice. Why the heck is it brown and soggy?? Uncle Roger would be LIVID. On top of all that they garnished everything with wilted brown cilantro. None of the food looked like it did in the pictures. False advertising for sure! Should've known this place was bad when we walked in there was no Asian people in there besides the workers. One bite dumpling. More like one star dumpling. read more

I've eaten here several times in the last few months. The soup dumplings are amazing, as are the chili oil wontons, the King Pao chicken, the noodle dishes, and the sautéed spinach with garlic. I also love the bok choi with garlic. The service is super attentive and the house made chili oil is divine! It's so great to have a stellar Chinese food joint in South Austin. Eat there! You won't regret it! read more

I was really excited when I found out that there's a new dumpling place in south Austin; however, it's a bit disappointing. We ordered their pork soup dumpling and it tasted really plain (my wife and I think that Costco dumpling actually tasted better than this lol) the scallion pancake isn't too bad but the portion is too small for a $6 appetiser. The black pepper beef udon is a letdown. - very salty, too much sauce and pepper. Service is decent, food came out decently quick. Parking is widely available. Will probably get something different if I'm back. read more

I tried the beef noodle soup, a classic dish with thick cuts of beef and a savory broth, and it is the perfect traditional rendition. From this dish alone, I can tell the restaurant really values quality and Chinese tradition. I will definitely order here more to try other dishes. The service is fairly quick and you don't need to wait long, even on a Saturday night dinner. The restaurant itself is very casual, good for lunch or dinner. read more

Excellent fresh food, good prices and great service. We are so excited to have some soup dumplings and good Chinese near our house! We will definitely be back! We got orange chicken, crispy and delicious ... hot and sour soup was rich, thick and full of yummy mushrooms and tofu. Soup dumplings were delicate and melted in my mouth! Cheese wontons were filled up and fresh! The waitstaff was excellent and never let my tea go empty. Can't wait to come back and try some noodles! read more

My new favorite Chinese restaurant in Austin! Everything we had was delicious. Massive servings and great service.

First time here, and no wonder it's popular--people were already lining up even in the early evening! Took me a while to realize there was a QR code on the table to order from (would've been nice if someone told me that lol). The green onion pancake was the star for me--super flavorful and way better than I expected. The handmade chicken xiao long bao and beef dumplings were pretty good too. Mapo tofu was just okay. I definitely over-ordered because I wanted to try everything, but overall the quality was solid across the board. Since most of the good Chinese spots are in North Austin, I'm happy to see a legit Chinese place down South! read more

Holy cow. That food was DELICIOUS!!! I was sad to see Hao Hao's go from the neighborhood, but I'm glad One Bite Dumpling moved in. I ordered takeout for this rainy Wednesday night. The food was ready within 30 minutes, they were so nice and efficient when I got there, and it was such a cute remodel to the space. I'm excited to go through their menu and give more updates! read more

Bee Dumpling - Beef and green onion dumplings, Pork bok choy pot stickers, and Black Pepper Beef Udon - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

Even though this place specializes in handmade dumplings, I was pleasantly surprised to find other standout dishes. The Taiwanese basil fried popcorn chicken nuggets came out hot and with a generous portion. I really wanted to eat them like popcorn! But also don't sleep on the braised beef noodle soup. There are two versions on the menu, and they're equally flavorful with one being slightly more spicy and oily. The beef was tender and easy for my toddlers to eat. Would hands down come back again if it wasn't so far south for us! read more

We ordered a little bit of everything at One Bite Dumpling -- bacon fried rice, chicken chow mein, beef with peppers, udon soup, steamed soup dumplings, barbecue bao, Kung Pao chicken, and orange chicken. Every dish had its own highlight, but the bacon fried rice and the orange chicken stole the show. The rice was smoky, savory, and full of flavor, and the orange chicken had that perfect balance of crispy, tangy, and sweet. For the portion sizes and flavor, it's honestly a great value for your buck. The steamed soup dumplings were another favorite -- thin, delicate wrappers with piping hot broth inside that made every bite feel like comfort food done right. Everything came out fresh and hot, and you could tell the kitchen really takes care with each dish. On top of the food, the staff made the whole experience even better. They were super sweet, welcoming, and attentive -- checking up on us often without ever being overbearing. The restaurant itself was spotless, and you could feel the team's energy and pride in their work. Honestly, I'm surprised there aren't more reviews for this place or more people talking about it. One Bite Dumpling deserves way more attention because it's a hidden gem in Austin. If you're looking for amazing food, friendly service, and a clean, welcoming environment, don't sleep on this spot -- go check it out! read more

I had an inflammatory reaction after eating their food once. Before venturing over there again, I just now called to ask if they can ask the chefs if they use MSG. The person who answered didn't think so but was unwilling to ask because they were too busy. Guess I have to spend my money at another place. read more

Saw Yelp reviews for this place and had to check it out. We started with egg rolls which were carefully formed and deliciously crispy. Could have used a bit more of the sauce to dip all 4 of them. Then we enjoyed the beef rolls and were surprised at the larger size, the slightly sweet flavor and the crunch of the greens inside. Our pork soup dumplings arrived and they were not too hot to take the whole bite at one time. I thought these could use a bit of seasoning so added some soy sauce. The chicken corn dumplings contained corn kernels with ground meat and were tasty. There are no dessert options yet but the waitress said they hope to add some in the future. We hope to come here again! read more

The food was great! So happy to have a delicious new dumpling and Chinese spot in South Austin. I had the Mapo Tofu- it was excellent! Kids got a variety of dumplings- they were solid. The scallion pancakes and egg rolls were their favorites- the dumpling wrappers were a bit thick on the pan fried dumplings and the pork dumplings- but the fillings were on point! Service struggled a bit, but I honestly think they are still working to find their rhythm. Will totally be back! Hope to see them on all of the delivery apps! read more

Bee Dumpling - Chicken soup dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Austin, Texas

(Note: I write Facebook reviews for residents of Turner's Crossing, a new development in Buda, as we all learn about good places to dine in Austin.) ------------- I'm going to write this review while the memory of the great food we finished only minutes ago still lingers on my taste buds. Turner's Crossing neighbors highly recommended this place after trying it recently. Being a couple of foodies, wife Karen and I were anxious to give it a shot, considering we have not been at all satisfied with the Chinese restaurants we have sampled so far in the area. I think it's pretty sad when the best Chinese food we have had since moving here about two years ago is dished up at a buffet, the East Buffet at I-35 and William Cannon. See my earliet review of that place. We have been there at least five times. Note that if you Google One Bite Dumpling to check out the directions and the menu, you are redirected to the website of Bee Dumpling, which is apparently its actual name now. The restaurant itself is still adorned with a large sign that says One Bite Dumpling. Until they change the name on the building, I will refer to it as One Bite Dumpling. It is located in a strip mall at the southeast corner of the Manchaca Road intersection with William Cannon. The twin strips of parallel shops run perpendicular to Manchaca, so watch carefully for an entrance as you near the intersection. One Bite Dumpling is a spacious, comfortable and clean eatery with an extensive menu of goodies, many of which I have never tried. I grew up eating Chinese food on a regular basis, and almost every restaurant my family went to specialized in Cantonese style food. Since then, I have also become fond of Szechuan cooking, which is different and can be much spicier. After looking at the menu, I asked Oscar our waiter what Chinese cooking style was featured but he did not know, just said it was likely a mix of various styles. The menu was not specific. For my first of what I expect will be several visits to this place, I picked the chicken chow mein ($12.99), partially because ithe menu photo looked similar to the Cantonese chow mein I had ordered my whole life. Oscar pointed out that the portions are generous. He wasn't blowing smoke, because I took about a third of my dish home. It will make a nice lunch for Karen or me, depending on who gets to it in the refrigerator first. My chow mein was definitely not the same as Cantonese style, which I always enjoy, but I relished this change of pace. It was tasty, served piping hot, and satisfying. Big chunks of chicken were tender and coated with a delicious sauce. Karen, who had never eaten Chinese dumplings before, went with an order of the crab meat soup dumplings ($13.99). Interestingly, Oscar the waiter noted that Karen's order contained sausage, which I guess he does because some diners have an aversion to pork. I'm surprised that little cautionary note was not on the menu. Karen's dish was also steaming hot, and she carefully slid a large spoon beneath one dumpling to try it. She immediately nodded approvingly, so I knew we had a winner. Check out the menu online. Dumplings, especially soup dumplings, appear to be a lot more popular in Chinese restaurants in the Austin area then they were in the upper Midwest where we hail from. Karen graciously allowed me to sample one of hers, and it's something that I will be likely ordering the next time. We were also intrigued by one of the appetizers, labeled salt and pepper squid ($12). We vowed to include that in our dinner on our next visit. The restaurant has a pretty good mix of tables with comfortable chairs and the usual booths. Service was extremely efficient. We were also grateful that the temperature inside was comfortable, and sweaters or jackets were not needed like so many restaurants where they only have two settings for the air conditioner: Arctic blast, or off. We had a chance to enjoy a pleasant conversation with Oscar, who quickly commented on my Ohio State cap when we entered. In the first few minutes, he explained that he studied a year in Columbus at Ohio State. He later spent some time at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, and was a big fan of the state of Ohio. Of course, that was enough reason for me to give him a bigger tip. He spoke fine English with a thick Russian accent because his family came from Kyrgyzstan, formerly part of the Soviet Union. I was surprised at the heavy accent because he was born and raised in Chicago. Nevertheless, he is an affable chap and an excellent waiter. Ask for him if you decide to try One Bite Dumpling. The place is well worth the short drive from our neighborhood of about 20 minutes or so. After only one visit, we already have this restaurant among the top half dozen places in our rotation of eateries. read more

I was bummed when Hao Hao closed down, but I'm so happy One Bite Dumpling moved in and took its place! It seems like they're still decorating and getting in to the swing of things, but we had a great meal overall. Our server was friendly and helpful as we asked some questions about different items on the menu. We started with the Pork Soup Dumplings and Radish Salad. The dumplings were classic with a deep pork flavor and nicely steamed dough. The radish salad was really fun. We loved the crunchy, pickled kind of vibe the dish gave off. For our entrees, we got the Black Pepper Chicken Udon and Hot Spicy Beef Noodle Soup. The udon was really great and unlike anything I've had at other Chinese restaurants. I would highly recommend giving it a try, especially if you don't do spicy. The beef noodle soup was probably our favorite dish of the meal. It was heat spicy but also Szechuan peppercorn tingly. The noodles were delicious and the meat was flavorful and tender. We are looking forward to visiting One Bite Dumpling many times in the future to try more tasty food. read more
