    The food here is pretty unique. My husband and I tried a wide assortment of dishes ranging from dumplings - both steamed and fried, curry, and salad. Everything was flavorful and fresh, but some dishes were a bit over salted. This is the place to be if you want dumplings, as the name implies.

    Somehow it seemed fitting that it was snowing during our visit to "Dump City Dumplings." While it may not have been snowing enough to say that it was "dumping" outside, it sure did add to the ambience of our meal. In my estimation, there are likely two schools of thought when it comes to dumplings. I think you've got the "I'm all about the dumplings!" person and the "Ok, I'll try dumplings once" person. If you are of the latter ilk and are still riding the fence on this one, please know that while dumplings are featured here, there are other options available (including Vegan choices). For example, I sampled the Roujiamo Pork Bowl and Cucumber Salad and they were both outstanding. Also know that introducing your little ones to the dumpling experience is easier than you think given the selections featured on their kid's menu. If you do choose to sample their dumplings (and you should!) you have to consider their dessert dumpling (filled with strawberry jam that you then dip in a lovely coconut sauce). While perhaps not for everyone (and I admit to being hesitant at first), it was by far my favorite of the dumplings that I sampled. By the power vested in me, I hereby proclaim 2023 "The Year of the Dumpling!" And that's...Henry's Take. #dumpcity #dumplinglove

    Please don't get me wrong, I enjoyed everything about Dump City except the dumplings. I guess I was a dumpling novice and was not prepared for the experience but gave it my best shot. YELP Short Answer: YES it is awesome if you are familiar with and enjoy this type of dough-centric food. Location: Parking, well it totally sucks but welcome to the Galveston neighborhood and parking wars. Aside form that, their new fun location with lots to do all around is sure to be a hit for years to come. Sure trendy hot spot at the moment and busy so pick your times. Buildout: Nicely done very youthful music and a good vibe all around. Seating space indoors and out with takeout as a large part of their plan. Menu: Easy and fun, Host is happy to answer menu questions and very enthusiastic about their menu and company. Simple menu but ask, they say 3-5 dumplings will be a meal for one human, I'd say one and some sides. They have beers and ciders as well. Food Prep: Nicely done to eat there or take out. Dumplings are plopped on a dish naked but that is just fine, it's a dumpling shop so you get no frills. Food Quality: Seemed perfectly cook but missing in overall taste, texture, and enjoyment for me. Ordered Special Risotto, Pork and Pad Thai to try them all and it was hard to really get the flavor out of any of them as the ginormous amount of dumpling dough was overwhelming. I felt stuffed after just one but tasted them all. Also ordered cucumber salad and sticky rice both of which were excellent and I would suggest if you're not sure on the whole dumpling experience to just order sides and one dumpling to share. You can always order more if you find it to be your thing. They also have rice bowls which I may try at some point yet they seemed a little expensive so will read up on them. Waitstaff: Does not get much better, everyone was fun and happy to be there. It takes a while to get your food so have a beer and chill and don't be in a hurry. You can order, go buy some pot across the street, shop for furniture, buy a lottery ticket at 7/11 and your food should be about ready. These dumpling are made to order so it takes some time. Value: Yes for sure, fair pricing and if you know your dumplings I am sure it is a great value. OVERALL EXPERIENCE: Excellent but I felt like I needed a stomach expander for the rest of the day, I wound not order a dumpling again but enjoyed myself.

    After seeing this restaurant on Diners, Drive ins & Dives, I had it on my list to visit next time I was in Bend. My friends and I decided we would check it out for lunch and we were not disappointed. The three dumplings I ordered were flavorful and soft, my favorite was the Chinese pork. The sweet chili cilantro garlic sauce was the perfect mix of sweet and spicy. We even loved the ooey gooey jem dessert dumpling! I loved the large selection of beer on draft and also thought it was cool that they have their dumplings on display in a fridge for easy take home.

    The food was really good! You need too try the pizza dumplings they are too die for. The service was really good. The ambiance was really good!

    These dumplings are the most delicious, satisfying dough balls full of goodness that I have ever had. They have 3 main flavors but the most popular are definitely the cheese & the pad Thai. The pad Thai is full of the rice noodles, veggies, soft tofu and a yummy peanut sauce. It is every vegan/vegetarian's dream! Dipped in the coconut lime sauce adds another element of flavor similar to squeezing lime on the traditional dish. They're hot, soft, gooey, affordable and a perfect little snack for any occasion! The staff is so chill and one guy hooked it up with a bonus dumping!!! The music is bumping and the vibes are all there. I've been visiting town this week and already had dumplings on 2 different occasions...munch n music and out downtown after partying. At one point I came back for another back to back because I just couldn't get enough. If you haven't had dump city dumplings, you haven't had dumplings!

    Great outdoor seating front and back of house.

    Colorful, chill vibe. Love the outdoor seating. The dumplings were very tasty. The teriyaki bowl had fresh ingredients. Cucumber salad could have been fresher. Don't let that stop you from coming in and enjoying the various dumplings they have to offer. Don't forget to bus your tables before you go. The cashier was sweet and chill. Love the local vibe, seating and plant life at this establishment.

    This place has a great vibe and yummy food! The dumplings were delish and fun to eat. My only complaint is that service was a bit slow and not the most attentive, however they were nice. I'll be back to try more dumplings!

    I didn't get pictures of all our food :( Overall it was fresh, good, & unique. We really like the nachos and stemmed mushroom wontons. My son liked the pizza dumplings, but was hoping they'd be stuffed with pepperonis :) too. It's a fun lil place!

    Susan J.

    Such a fun place to visit in bend. The pad Thai dumpling was probably my most favorite of them all. Great selection of taps and awesome sauce selection for dipping. Totally check this spot out!

    Fillings ok. The dough was not cooked, took it back and the guy just gave me cold shoulder. Will never be back. Very disappointing.

    Fresh homemade dumplings, steamed hot at the cart. Not traditional Asian flavors but good eats for sure.

    So I've been looking forward to trying this dum sum food truck for awhile. When it moved to Silver…read moreMoon Brewing, my husband picked up our large order of har gow (shrimp dumpling), shu mai, bbq pork bun and pork/veg dumplings. If you've never had dim sum before, you may enjoy it more than I did here. I grew up eating dim sum and have missed it dearly since we moved. Gar gow: 2/5* skin wasnt chewy enough, small amount of shrimp inside Shu mai: 1/5* I believe this has been through worst shu mai I've ever had. It was smaller and the meat appeared to be over mixed and dense, with some odd chunks of pork and lacked the plump, fatty pork im used to. Bbq pork bun: prob one of the best things we had. The dough was soft but little denser than I'm used to. The filling was decent. 4/5 Pork dumplings: surprisingly good. Meat and veggie seasoned well. I just didn't understand the sweet chili dipping sauce that came with it.. it masked the flavor of the dumplings. I prefer soy vinegar sauce. 4/5 Honestly, I felt some of the dim sum felt frozen store bought like. But perhaps they make it and freeze it before steaming? I hope they make it but I just didn't care for it.

    So kind. She was a lil surprised by our order. We just got all the dim sum but the egg one. She…read moresaid 20 mins. It was 20 minutes. All delicious and thanks so much for sure be back ordering it all again. Gem! Burst with flavor! Not dry! Seriously YUM.

When you get there you get in line, but this is no Chipotle (no shade on Chipotle). While you are in line, one of the staff will ask you what you want to drink and will bring it to you so this makes the line much more bearable - and we enjoyed the unique cocktails. Also, while you're on line you can people-watch, take in the cool decor, and decide from the enticing menu. Also, while you're on line, one of the staff will find out how many are in your party so they can start strategizing about where to seat you so you don't have to worry about scrambling for a table. When you get to the front, you order, and they give you a number and they seat you. The line can be long, but it moves, and as I mentioned, you may have a cocktail in your hand to help you get through it. Now to the food. It's a fusion of Asian and Mexican food, very unique offerings. The trouble will be deciding what to have so I recommend sharing if you're there with somebody else so you can try a lot of things. We had the peanut tomato curry with chicken, the spicy fried chicken, the side salad, and the pièce de résistance, which was the carnitas sandwich. You can have this for dessert, it's so rich and delicious. Everything was good and the curry was also a standout. We really enjoyed Spork!

I had the Dan Dan noodles and once I started eating them I couldn't stop they were so good!

The service was spot on and attentive but not over done. There is also a great drink, beer and mocktail menu that has tasty beverages! Very family friendly with a great kids menu and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Awesome little booths and great places to have conversation. We very much enjoyed Spork!
