    Dumplings!
    Generous Y.

    No immediate parking but Trailside is nearby, limited street parking around, and UVill is across the street. I love Dough Zone and love that they're expanding so much, only one of their franchises have disappointed me. I think this location is a bit smaller than most, but it's cozy and often has room. More people around this area go to another, very popular competitor for dumplings. Dough Zone is affordable while still being tasty!

    How I heard of this place: My sisters ventured here one night. The next day, they brought me. Neither local to Bellevue, but both in love with the spot. Upon another visit, my sister and her good friend (visiting from India) chose this location for dinner. Type of cuisine: "Dough Zone Dumpling House was established in Bellevue, WA in 2014. The motivation behind the creation of Dough Zone was a desire to bring traditional homemade Chinese comfort food into a modern setting. The dishes served at Dough Zone are the perfect size for customers to share and try a variety of different food without breaking the bank. Over 50 different dishes are available to choose from and customers get the opportunity to mix & match to create their own personalized combination. A wide array of authentic flavors that will truly give your palate a new perception of taste." Ambiance: Definitely not the mom and pop shop that opened nearly a decade ago, the space is modern, large, and bustling. Set at the ground floor of a larger (apartment?) building, this location, too, seems to be quite busy at all opening hours. The room is bustling with activity - servers running to and fro, orders coming and empty plates going at every turn. There are regular height dining tables/chairs, though we were seated at an open barquette with bar stools on either side, limiting the space we had for our food between us. What I ordered: To start, one of our favorites - Sweet & Sour Cucumber (cucumber salad with sweet and sour dressing). We continued with Beef-Stew Noodle Soup ("a perfect orchestration of tender stewed beef, a rich beef broth, fresh noodles, blanched lettuce and garnished with crisp local green onions. The combination of all these elements come together flawlessly to create a balanced bowl of comforting deliciousness"). And the Spicy Beef Pancake Roll 麻辣牛肉卷饼 ("Our Green Onion Pancake rolled into a wrap with seasoned beef shank, shredded lettuce, and our spicy crushed pepper house sauce.") What I loved: The cucumber was my favorite of the four selections we made, easily followed by the beef-stew noodle soup. The pancake was very gamey/beefy, and it seemed I was the only one not completely turned off by it, so I finished the shared serving. Why I loved it: Quick food, tasty and savory, warm and refreshing, hitting the spot. Cost: Average to high

    Cucumber salad

    Friendly service and staff. Went during a busier time with a party of 8 and we had to wait awhile. Soup dumplings, cucumber salad and Dan Dan noodles were solid. Pot stickers were ok. Basic accommodations with the room temperate being colder than expected.

    I absolutely LOVE their soup dumplings!!! They're always filled with so much soup, with great flavor, the perfect thinness of the wrapper...thin yet so strong to hold all that yummy goodness inside! The Q-baos also hold so much soup inside them! They always seem to have the perfect brown crisp to the bottom of them. Love their pig ear appetizer. It's an acquired taste, but they cut it so thin; I love how chewy and flavorful this dish is! Their noodles, soups, and other hot foods aren't the greatest, but if you're looking for an amazing soup dumpling, come to Dough Zone!!! Their service is always so quick and friendly! I just wish parking was better at this U-district location. There isn't a designated parking lot for this place as it's on the bottom of an apartment complex. You can park across the street at the u-village parking garage

    Chicken dumplings (fried)
    Kana S.

    Very disappointed. We were shopping near by so we decided to have lunch here. All the side dishes except dumplings were just okay. We ordered dandan noodles, cucumber salad, Chinese crape, Xiao Long Bao, chicken fried dumplings. All of the side dishes were too sweet and the portion was so small for the price. Both dumplings were good but not as good as other competitors. We were not that hungry and we thought we ordered too much food but turned everything was so small so we easily finished our food. Expect to spend $$$ for dinner if you are hungry. The service was just okay too. Not much interection. They were just bringing the food to our table and that's it.

    Street parking will be very difficult as the place is located around residential buildings. There is a mall nearby so park at the plaza there and walk over. Quite busy at dinner time, but there was no wait at dinner time as the place is very spacious. Food took about 10-20min to come out depending on the items. 7/10 Beef roll $7.30 6/10 Mala noodle $8 7/10 Pork crab XLB $10/8pc 7/10 Spicy wonton $7.3/6pc 6/10 Crispy wonton $7.3/6pc 6/10 Wontons in soup $8 7/10 Pan fried pork buns $10/4pc 7/10 Beef noodle soup $10 I think overall it was an average food experience. All the 7/10 dishes were ok in terms of flavor but nothing really stood out. 6/10 dishes were just meh.

    Thank you for taking the time to make adjustments and improve the quality of this location. Quality's better than ever and we are happy campers again!

    Thin sliced beef in a crispy pancake is delicious
    Peg C.

    I've eaten here three times and it's been consistently good every time. The pork and shrimp potstickers are my favorite. I could eat tons of these! I also always order the thin sliced beef wrapped in a a crispy, savory pancake. Classic. The service is quick and the ambience is clean and nice with a decent amount of space between tables. I've been to other Dough Zones in Seattle and Bellevue, but this one is my go-to.

    Dough Zone is the ideal spot for a casual dining with your friends and family while indulging affordable and delicious dumplings Here's what I enjoyed during my recent visit: · Pork Wontons with Chili Sauce (highly recommended) · Dan Dan Noodles (highly recommended) · Pork with Crab Meat Xiao Long Bao · Beef Sandwich · Five Spice Beef Shank Dough Zone 4701 24th Ave NE, Seattle, WA 98105

    We popped in for lunch on Sunday at noon and found tables readily available. We ordered 7 different dishes and two diet cokes-our bulk totaled $80.00 We chose a variety of items and all of them were very good.

    I bring all my out of town friends here and they love it. It's a great spot for dim sum. Not too expensive and still delish! You have to try the Dan Dan noodles and the wontons with chili sauce. Delish!

    Where do you park? UVillage say they will tow a car without warning if one leaves their garage across the street.

Like super quick. Think we waited maybe 5 minutes tops. You really come here for the meal because wow. The meat slid off the bone, the gumbo was perfectly seasoned, and the dessert was yum, yum. The service was also super excellent. Our server was on it. He was lightning quick and perceptive, letting you know where to get spoons or offering things you hadn't even thought of. We were impressed. Maybe this is why they were packed the weekday night we went. Even when one rush left, another one took its place only a few minutes later. They have live jazz, blues, and other types of shows here, so we'll try to catch one next time. My only critique was the lights. They use bright white hospital lights that are a little blinding, and I kind of wish they had more ambient lighting, but that's just a me thing.

When we arrived, the restaurant was clean and had a cool New York café feel -- basically your classic greasy-spoon-style breakfast spot. There was plenty of seating and no wait on a Thursday around 10:00 AM. My wife ordered the Homestyle Plate, which came with two pancakes, eggs, and bacon. I ordered the Ham Scram with egg whites and added mushrooms. There was a $3 upcharge for egg whites, which would have been nice to know when ordering. I also had a hot chocolate for $5.50. Overall, the breakfast was okay -- nothing bad, but nothing that really stood out or that I'd write home about. The staff was friendly, and our waiter was funny and personable, which made the experience enjoyable. The biggest downside was the price. Breakfast for two, including tip, came to $68.44, which felt pretty expensive for a basic café-style breakfast.
