    Scallion Green Onion Pancake (1)  葱油饼
    Anna J.

    Fantastic and delicious. Don't get me wrong. I love DTF but dough zone is a great replacement. We walked in on a Monday evening for two we're able to get a table very easily. We of course, started with the cucumbers and an appetizer, and I didn't love the spiral, but they were still tasty. For our entrée, we got some noodles some wontons, some dumplings, the scallion pancakes, XLB and the burrito. Everything was delicious. We wouldn't get the burrito again, but it was good to try. We really enjoyed the flavors and it really matched DTF and obviously it was at a great price point. 10/10 delicious

    Dumplings!

    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.

    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!

    Beef rolls

    I ordered for take out yesterday at Dough Zone and it was ok. Food was tasty. The beef Roll was good. I know I had better from some other restaurant before, but was good as well. I also ordered pan fried beef bun. Overall it was alright.

    Great dumplings, noodles, and more. Plus much shorter lines than the alternatives. We like the sesame noodles and QBao.

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

    There is off street parking nearby or you could park at UVillage and walk over.

    I hadn't realized that I had ordered takeout from this restaurant but I know this has been a long…read moretime bookmark for me as the food here looks absolutely divine. I finally had the pleasure of dining in as there was a concert nearby and this one of the only places that would be open afterwards. We arrived 40-ish minutes before they closed and it was still busy in the restaurant with bar full of patrons and half of the restaurant had tables filled. The restaurant itself was gorgeous as it was dim but they had hundreds of candles on shelves as well as lamps throughout the restaurant. There was booth seating, bar seating and more. My boyfriend and I arrived and waited a few minutes before we were seated and handed menus. Our waiter on Saturday (8/8) was not only professional but hilarious. We ordered a strawberry lemonade for the two of us, a Buttermilk Fried Chicken Burger with bacon for him and I got their seafood gumbo entree and a side of their cheesy grits. We got our food and the portions here are huge. The food was immaculate. My boyfriend said this was probably one of the best fried chicken burgers he had ever had and that the bacon portion was more than any other place has given him. I was very happy with the gumbo and the cheesy grits were so good, it had a puree/whipped potatoes consistency which was delightful. The strawberry lemonade was tart and sweet with the right amount of strawberry flavor. Definitely want to come back to try more of their menu as they have quite the extensive menu and a brunch menu as well!

    Must try. Everything was delicious, the restaurant is very cute, and the they staff were all kind,…read morehelpful and attentive. We made a reservation, but realized it was happy hour which is only in the bar. The hostess was nice, and got us a table in the bar when we inquired. The downside, honestly, is the ridiculous menu!!! I always have a tough time picking what to eat, but where there are 100 options, it really stresses me out! lol the happy hour is also very extensive. This isn't probably an issue for the average person- look ahead if it is. We ordered oysters on HH (amazing deal!), fried green tomatoes (ehh), gumbo (very good), fries (good), and Brussels (not bad, but I didn't like the sauce). We also ordered wine and a Mexican mule. I can't believe it's taken me so long to try out. I'll absolutely be back to more things!
