    The food is great if you would like to try authentic Chinese breakfast. I would definitely recommend the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup / 麻辣牛肉面.

    A mom and pop specializes in Northern Chinese cuisine, a rare find for the area. We stopped by for lunch and were happy to see their menu featuring classic Chinese breakfast items like soy milk, You tiao, and Dou Fu Nao, along with variety of other dishes. While a few items were hit or miss, the overall experience is a solid 4/5, especially considering how hard it is to find authentic northern Chinese food in the area. The dumplings really stood out, perfectly crispy on the outside, with juicy and flavorful filling inside. They also offer a selection of frozen dumplings/ buns. If you want to try out northern Chinese cuisine, this spot is worth a visit!

    This is a fairly nondescript restaurant in a strip mall that is sit down, Togo, delivery and also sells frozen dumplings for cooking at home. The food here is genuine Taiwanese and you can get some traditional breakfast treats as well as some really tasty baos and dumplings. Dropped in for some breakfast but definitely will come back try try more things. * Tofu hua - which is a soft tofu. We got this two ways. Sweet which surprisingly has a slightly gritty texture for the sugar - usually this is a ginger infused sugar syrup. We also tried the savory one with wood ear mushrooms and other umami goodness. * we got some fried stuff pancakes too - one with shredded daikon and one with chives and eggs. Both were good. * sesame bread sandwich with braised beef. Tasty but I really wanted some cilantro to add brightness. We took several baos to go to try and they heated up well.

    Congee

    The minute we heard about a chinese breakfast place in Austin, we woke up early to get there right when it opened. We had the place all to ourselves! We ordered hot sweet soy milk (it was a very cold weekend which is unusual, and it was the perfect thing to warm us up). Of course we ordered pork and thousand year old egg congee, fried dough in sesame pancake, and then also egg pancake. I've had a lot of congee in my day (grew up eating it in Flushing on the weekends) and I have to say, it's the best pork and thousand year old egg congee I've ever had. Super authentic. We were in a hurry so we had to eat and run, next time I will definitely get a stuffed steamed bao because there were so many of them in bins sitting on the counter. I had FOMO leaving but our belly's were full and we were headed on a long drive.

    Noodle soup is so good, the broth is legit from pork bone I can tell. Friendly service and clean environment! Highly recommended

    Mom and pop Northeastern Chinese breakfast spot. No frills and very homey. The food is fairly authentic to Chinese street food with the soy milk, tofu, dumplings etc. Their breakfast items seems to be made in house in addition to their tofu and soy milk. Solid local spot!

    Mom and pap shop with Pretty good food. The sweet tofu has a tangy taste which was not the most pleasant taste. Other than that all was good. Too hot inside, barely any a/c

    The food here is incredible! Everything tastes very authentic and very well cooked. We got the Shao Mai, Fried red bean buns, and fried fish's nd everything was phenomenal.

    Cup of soymilk

    The hype has died down and it's my second time here. You still order by QR code. The massive lines and wait times have diminished, it seems. Came in for a later lunch. Opted for Salty Soy Milk (still in stock this time!) and Savory Tofu Hua. The Salty Soy Milk was... an interesting rendition to say the least. First, the soy milk was not curdled, and there was an absence of sourness, meaning no vinegar had been added. Strange. This led to a lack of the satisfyingly creamy mouth feel typically associated with salty soy milk. Instead, I was left with hot soy milk that has some chili oil poured over into it, and with scallions, dried shrimp, and youtiao pieces. All fine. Except the flavors were not tied together, no doubt due to the missing acetic acid. The dou hua was fine and tasted as expected, consisting mainly of woodear mushrooms and tofu hua. However, towards the end of June, in the sweltering heat, eating hot food inside the restaurant isn't necessarily a great idea if you're looking to cool off. The ambient temperature within is quite warm, even when lightly clothed in running shorts and a t-shirt. This is the first time I've perspired eating hot food in a warm restaurant. Perhaps it was because the table was next to the window? I'm not sure, but clearly the AC was either not functioning or it was turned off.

    Sesame Beef

    When on a late weekend morning, there were still plenty of tables around. It was inside your typical Chinese restaurant. Tons of tables and seats and barely enough room to walk between them. They sit you down, and there is a QR code on the table. You just scan it with your phone and order. I got the cold soy milk, beef pancake roll, sesame beef sandwich, and beef noodles. The beef noodle was good, but I wish it had a little bit more kick to it. The cold soy milk was good, but it just needed a bit more sugar for my liking. The pancake roll and the sesame sandwich were decent. Overall, the experience is what I expect for any Chinese restaurant: poor service but great food. The food took a while to come out, but everything looked and tasted fresh. So if you are coming here looking for good service, I would look elsewhere, but if you are looking for actually Chinese food, this will be one of your spots. Once you are done, you just pay up front.

    Asian style breakfast , lot of different foods. Chinese breakfast options include soy milk, sesame seed cakes, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, and dumplings--a great place for the whole family to eat and drink on the weekend.

    Long night of working on a finance digital transformation plan for a client. After I hit the submit button, I thought I treat myself to a nice breakfast. I yelped breakfast places near me and settled on Breakfast House based on its rating. I escaped our home while my husband snoozed. Pro tip: Do not fully use your gps on this one. My gps told me to make U-turn and then turn into the parking lot. However, I had already passed the restaurant. I ordered sweet potato porridge and a pork wrap. My porridge came in a mixing bowl size serving...enough for 4-5 people. It is something about the name porridge which makes you think you're in a fairytale or Aesop's fable. The wrap was freshly made and was quite flavorful. The wrap was enough for 2+ people. Needless to say, I had a lot of leftovers. However, since I'm traveling tomorrow and didn't want left overs seating in the car, I left them in the restaurant. Then I jetted off to some pre-travel errands. There is ample indoor seating and free parking. Laid back vibe... Good first time experience...

    Spicy beef noodle soup
    Pearl G.

    Hands down one of the best beef noodle soups I've had at a restaurant. I opted for a light spicy beef noodle soup and I couldn't have imagined it tasting any better. The portion was generous, as soon as the soup sits on the table you're instantly lured with it's aromatics. The noodles are cooked to perfection and I need to ask if the beef is halal because it was so soft and tasted very fresh. Everything in this bowl tasted divine. I'm not feeling well, I needed soup and Breakfast House delivered. Will be back.. again and again.

It took me a bit to find it as I'm directionally challenged, but I did and was just running a bit late. We really enjoyed the food and cocktails. I got the Singaporean noodles, a mezcal drink, and a sake. The serving size was big so I had plenty to take home. We shared many of the other dumplings and dim sum items. Everything was very good! The place wasn't too crowded so after we paid our bill we sat around for a while longer to chat and catch up. Usually someone would come by to see if we needed or wanted anything further, but no one did so we kept chatting and left. I'm happy to know of a central location with easy parking as a future place to meet people. I wish they had a happy hour because the bill for 3 of us was unexpectedly higher than usual.

I love the way they "KEEP AUSTIN SPICY" and am looking forward to some house specials upon return.

We had the Pork Sticky Rice Shumai, Pork Xiao Long Bao, Shrimp & Pork & Chive Steamed Dumplings, Eggplant & Minced Pork Noodles, and Pineapple Fried Rice. Everything was flavorful and satisfying, and ordering several different dishes was definitely the way to go. The dumplings were the highlight, especially being able to try several different styles and fillings. The Xiao Long Bao had that comforting soup-dumpling experience you are looking for, while the shrimp, pork, and chive dumplings offered a completely different flavor and texture. The sticky rice shumai was another nice variation. The Eggplant & Minced Pork Noodles added a hearty, savory dish to the meal, and the Pineapple Fried Rice provided a nice balance with a little sweetness. Overall, Dumpling World is a great choice if you enjoy dumplings and want enough variety to explore beyond just one or two traditional options. Good food, plenty to choose from, and definitely a place we would visit again.

While I've yet to find a Korean joint with a proper Korean mandoo on offer, Chinese varieties are thriving with the likes of Julie's Noodles, Steamies, Lin's and, the subject of my review, Dumpling World. Definitely don't expect ambiance here. After suffering the Triangle's persistent lack of parking, you'll walk into this place and find a really spare, almost utilitarian set up that screams "we mean business." They definitely mean business. I've probably been here a good 5-6 times, and have tried almost everything on the menu. Soup dumplings shine -- my daughter refuses to eat them anywhere else -- and their recently introduced thumb buns, which I think are fried mini soup dumplings, just ooze flavor. More traditional half-moon dumplings, no matter your filling of choice, steamed or fried, never disappoint. Don't ignore the non-dumpling items too. I don't know what the seasoning is in their green beans, but it's ridiculously delicious. You'll never look at green beans or haricot vert the same way ever again. Good, but unremarkable, are the soups and stews. Better to get those at other Chinese eateries. I don't mean to dissuade anyone from those, but did you really come to a place called Dumpling World to eat anything but dumplings? It gets crowded here at times so I recommend trying on a weekday evening. Uniformly, whether it's packed or slow, service is quick and courteous. With dumplings this good, it's clear that humility is one of the key ingredients to their consistency and quality.
