DCD is great. Their dumplings are consistently delicious, and their sauces are f'n yummo. Beautiful patio, quality brew taps, priced right, 5 stars my kind of place. read more

Delicious food, good location and nice service, along with pretty reasonable prices and good ambiance.

The buns are quite nice and tasty, and the chicken teriyaki is delicious. I just found the serving size on the small side-more like a snack (and we spent about $40). We actually went next door for tacos to eat more food as we were still hungry. I would eat here again but realizing its on the smaller side. read more

Fun every time. My kids beg me to get them cheese dumps all the time. I would say that I highly recommend trying all the food and for sure all the seasonal dumpling specials. This is a small business. I love local spots like this. read more

Was absolutely disappointed. I was reading the reviews and decided to give Dump City a try. It was afternoon middle of the week. The menu only had 3-4 items on it. We figured if there are only a few they must be amazing. We ordered a the pad Thai and the meat I can't remember if it was pork or beef either way it was unforgettable. The lady working there was absolutely rude we ordered and she made a big sigh and acted annoyed we were even there. We were so nice as we are locals and know how it can be during tourist season. She asked us if we were from the west side. I said yes and she said nothing. There were dipping sauces to try that were just sitting it warm water instead of ice. We got home and tried these famous dumplings. They were bland, had no flavor and didn't fill us up at all. We tried a few of the dipping sauces which were pretty good. A sauce shouldn't carry a whole meal though. I would not recommend. read more

The name doesn't lie. This place is literally a dump. The restaurant itself is clean enough I guess but the food and staff are awful! The one guy at the counter kept groaning obviously to let us know he didn't want to be there. We were handed a plate of sticky rice so I had a couple bites and immediately started choking. This rice was so waxy and sticky that it bunched up in my throat and prevented me from breathing! I could have died because of bad chefs! And when the dumplings did come out they were awful. We went an hour before they closed and they had shut down their kitchen...only 2 things were on the menu and they both sucked. The pad Thai was just noodle on noddle with weird tasting sauce. And the 4 cheese pizza was literally just cheese and the dumpling. It had no flavor whatsoever. There was no music so the atmosphere felt eerily quiet. Don't go here. There is a really good taco place right next door called "el sancho's" if you want good food go there! read more

Dump City was one of my favorite food carts in town and its super exciting that they now have a physical location so you no longer have to search them out or wait for one of the events to get some delicious dumplings. Their location is in a slightly funky spot inside an office park building behind the Hilton in the Old Mill. The sign isn't very big but its there, you'll see it as soon as you walk in. I personally love the 4 cheese pizza and the thai noodle that they regularly have and usually go for one of the specials as well. The last time I was there, about a day after they opened, they also had amazing lamb skewers that were soooo delicious. All in all, can't go wrong whether your at the food cart or the new physical location! read more

Walked into the place and the server was very rude to say the least. Served us somebody else's food. Said she didn't like the way we spoke to her. We ended up walking out. I guess you have to be a local to get friendly service. You couldn't pay me to go back there. The food wasn't good either. read more

The bao buns were not bad, but should not be labeled as dumplings. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

What a surprise to find delicious dumplings in Bend. I think I tried all the flavors of the dumplings and I liked them all. Just visiting so not sure if the fillings change but all good today. Nice friendly service with curbside pickup. You can feel the dumplings were fresh made to order. I would go back when I visit Bend again. Sorry ate all the dumplings before I realized I should have taken a picture. read more

This is a favorite spot for my friends and I. They offer simple, and fast quality options. Of course my favorite is their Cheese Pizza Dumplings I can chow those down all day everyday. read more

We had the pork, pad Thai, and four cheese pizza dumplings. All were good but my favorites are the pad Thai and pizza. Great customer services and private location near the old mill on Upper Terrace RD. read more

I just had the pad Thai vegan dumpling on a whim after seeing this place across from Mother's. So glad I decided to try it. Delish bao. Will be back next time we are in town. read more

Delicious! Flavorful! Fun! Three words that pop into my head when I was eating my Dump City Dumplings. I ordered a Pad Thai dumpling and a four cheese pizza dumpling. I tried a few sauces with them (I don't remember which), and I was thoroughly impressed! read more

New Location: Great Dumplings and Satay! Came here with a group of friends after work. We sampled several different kinds of dumplings - pork, pad thai, BBQ chicken and different kinds of satay including chicken and ostrich. Food was good, Owners were friendly and helpful in describing their offerings. Beer, wine, cider available. Outdoor patio nice on warm days. Open from 11am (Lunch) until 9pm (known for late night eats). Dump City Dumplings is a popular downtown, and late night food cart that moved into this Brick and mortar location in April 2018. On the menu were 6 different kinds of dumplings ($3 each) and three kinds of Satay served with Rice ($5). What we loved - Super nice and friend staff (owners). The pork and chicken dumplings were very good. They Ostrich was delicious. The price great. We enjoyed trying the different sauces. We liked the side of rice that came with the Satay dishes. They have meat and vegan options. Bright open seating and patio dining. Open until 9pm. We recognize this is a brand new location, with a steep learning curve. What we thought needed improvement was that the sauces all need to be clearly labeled and a key on how spicey each is should be posted on the wall or on the bottles. My friend poured what she thought as soy sauce on her rice, only to find out it was their super hot spice sauce - yikes! Not sure if it was the day or what, but they had only spoons and knives and chop sticks, no forks available, so that is what we used to cut off bites of our dumplings to eat. Beer selections was limited. Wishing them the best of luck in their new Westside, Old Mill location. Go check them out. read more

I gave it a try. Can't complain about anything I had. I just didn't like dumplings. Was not what I thought it would be having not had dumplings before. If you like this food give this place a try. read more

Best dumplings I wish we had them In Portland! A must visit in bend! Also good vegetarian or vegan options but as I love cheese the cheese dumpling was my fav! read more

Wow. Delicious and great choices. We enjoyed the Chinese Pork and Pad Thai dumplings. Cucumber salad and Mango sticky rice. Everything was delicious and good beer choices to wash it all down. Thank you. read more

The hostess/cashier/order taker (sandy?) was so sweet, returned my smile. I try to smile, otherwise i just look pissed. Sorry not sorry. She was not rude in anyway by having to tell me there would be a long wait. I ordered 1 of each of the standard dumplings. Pork, pad thai, pizza cheese (well, i ordered two of those) and then an order of teriyaki chimken. While i was waiting i sat down and i was watching some of the other orders coming out. A lot of people ate 3-4 buns each! I could barely eat 2 and a half. Not because they werent fucking delicious, but because i swear they expanded in my stomach. Check this place out, tucked away off Terrace drive off of Wilson near the old mill district. My one complaint was that the thai peanut sauce literally tasted like melted peanut butter ice cream. Could't eat any of that. Everything else was really good. read more

Gross and soggy and mushy. The pizza one made me want to vomit. Seriously, I spit it out.

mediocre which is what bend likes. a single outdoor restroom shared by others reflects their love for patrons. it's another bend place which contributes and cares little for its community. read more

Terrible. Shit service, almost no non alcoholic drink options, food wasn't flavorful, over priced.

My friends and I drove by this place, looked at each other and turned around with a screech. The idea of warm dumplings was too much to resist (even though if memory served we'd eaten a couple hours before). Nice soft dumplings with delicious filling. I tried a bite of the pizza one, the Pad Thai, Southwestern chicken and the sausage and cheese (probably my favorite thus far). I think I would need at least 3 or 4 for a full meal which would be 10.00, but then again I'm a big eater. There was an array of sauces as well to pair with each flavor. My only complaint was that I brought a couple home with me for my boyfriend to try and the paper boat thing that to hold them stuck to the bottoms, so by the time I got them home about an hour later and scraped them into bowls they were deconstructed dunplings. Still delicious, but the bottom dumpling wrapper was toast. I think if the boats were made of a more waxy substance they wouldn't stick? Of course at night downtown most people are scarfing them down immediately and it doesn't matter... read more

I got nervous when I heard pizza dumpling, but I did enjoy the pork one. Its doughy and not fried and filled with tender meat and tons of dipping sauces. Pad thai dumpling was also good. Two for 5 bucks. Two are plenty for a full meal. And two were plenty for sampling and sharing cut in quarters with chopsticks. Curious about other flavor options. Kudos for Bend in following the PDX food cart scene. read more

These are some pretty fine dumplings. Huddled in the cold on the corner by the US Bank downtown, these guys do pretty darn good work, steaming up some unusual and not so unusual bao-style dumplings hot and fresh to order for as little as $2.50 each. I've tried the pad Thai (a brilliant idea if I've ever heard one), the Chinese pork (stuffed with cabbage and veggies and soooo good), the Mediterranean lamb (not my favorite, not fond of the mint, but good with some hot sauce), the Southwest-style Chicken (absolutely killer with some Frank's Red Hot), and the pizza (which was strange, but cheesy and delicious). If you're in the mood for some cheap eats in Bend, this is a must stop, especially late. This is the kind of fast food we need in this country. Food carts forever! read more

This review is for their bricks and mortar location on Terrace Drive. Staff was awesome. They dealt with a substitution (mango sticky rice for their standard sticky rice) just fine. Having a bricks and mortar location allows them to try out more unique items, like the ostrich skewers (awesome!) & the fall feast dumplings (super tasty!) Getting our meals plated seem to take a little bit longer, but we were happy with the results. The beer list is quite fine, and they have a hard liquor license and a desire to get funky with a cocktail list. The short version: if you like their dumpling truck, you're gonna love their sit down location. read more

Had chicken teriyaki and dumplings. Best chicken teriyaki I've ever had. Great grilled favors and sauce on the chicken. Dumplings were wonderful and great sauces. Beer selection was limited but really good. Don't miss this spot!!!! read more

The BD and I bought two of each dumplings (4 different ones) which cost $20 all together. My qualms about the baos here are: - there seems to be a higher ratio of dough to meat. - the insides are pretty dry and sauce - less. - which leads to the dipping sauces. They could be useful but DCD doesn't carry any containers for you to put these sauces in, so either bring your own togo containers or you can clumsily make ones out of the thin pieces of foil he gives you. Or you can eat right there in front of the cart. BD is a sauce man so it was kind of annoying. - The baos didn't seem to be cooked through or something... it had a very strong raw smell. 1. Mediterranean lamb - this one was my favorite. It was minced lamb with some herbs (mint/ rosemary?). it was a little dry and would have been wonderful with a creamy tzaziki sauce or something. 2. Chinese pork - very high on the sesame oil but still tasty. 3. Pizza - four different cheeses but we took the baos togo and by the time we got home (about 12 mins later) the cheese inside turned into rubber. It was tasty but texturally it was like eating the rubber off the bottom of your shoes. The dough was noticeably doughier. 4. My absolute least favorite was the pad thai. I don't even know what was in there except thin vermicelli noodles that tasted nothing like pad thai. In fact there wasn't much taste at all. BD didn't care for any of them... he tried them all but threw most of it away. I think about the African kids so I like to clean the plate, out of guilt, which is not a good thing when you're trying to lose weight, but that's another story. The guy behind the cart was really friendly. He was saying hello to everyone that passed him by and it was a very cold and snowy night. Stars go to him. I wouldn't go out of my way to find DCD cart unless I was really drunk from a bar and I chose to eat my baos right then and there where it's hopefully a lot hotter and tastier. read more

What a nice spot helping a local business loved the dumplings!!! Will be stoping by more often now!

This is a foodcart, usually on the corner of Bond and Oregon. I've had a couple different dumplings, and they are very delicious; steamy and well-made. A good selection of sauces too. A notable gripe however: to be a viable lunch option, this cart needs to have something like foil or containers available. A big reason why Soupcon and Sancho are such popular foodcarts is that lunch breakers and those downtown can grab something to go, or pickup food for the whole office. Not here. Dumplings loose in a fry boat are very inconvenient if i'm walking a few blocks or driving back to work to eat. There's not even little containers for sauces, so either I'm eating my dumplings right there in front of the cart, or I'm getting my lunch somewhere else. read more

Dumplings have never been very appealing to me - they look like a ball of paste and there is usually a mysterious mutton like substance that emerges when you least expect it. However, given assurances from the dumpling street vendor in Bend Oregon that the pad thai dumpling (in addition to the four cheese pizza dumpling and some sort of kale concoction) in his bamboo steamer vendor apparatus was not of this variety, the decision was made to march forward into the unknown. The pad thai dumpling was steamed with a peanutty noodle filling which was all very fine but the crowning achievement of the dumpling man was the variety of sauces at hand: several types of hot sauce, a teriyaki sauce and some sort of ketchup type substance. After testing all of these on their own it was determined that the combination of them all was the best and the final bites of this particular ball of paste were quite good.

Dumplings are ok, nothing to write home about. Taste better during a good drinking session. I think the only reason they are the best in town is that they are the only dumpling place in town. Went to new brick and mortar location and atmosphere is very lacking. I didn't get the feeling that they cared if I was there or not. Must say listening to the counter person (no table service) argue with the cook was the most exciting part of lunch. Even the water was boring being served without ice. Having a full kitchen they have a extremely limited menu. For being in a business park location I would suggest a little more professionalism, not a place to take a client. Unless I am starving I won't be back. read more

We were driving on a 16-hour road trip and Bend was our dinner spot. We scoured yelp, followed a lead, which was a dead end since the spot we picked was only lunch. We literally stumbled on this oasis of food. Having lived in Japan, it immediately flooded warm memories of hot dumplings of all different flavors at 7-11s. Of course Japan is very season centric, and these can only be devoured in the dead of winter. Anyhow, we ordered the pizza, Chinese pork, and Pad Thai flavors...all were delicious and we ate six between the two of us...the Labrador was anxiously aspiring for crumbs to drop...he was out of luck! Thanks for a welcome fast food which sated our souls on a long drive! read more

Been drinking? I know I was, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the pork shoulder steamed bun of awesome! Be sure to experiment with the sauces. That's what makes your experience worth it! read more

Beyond good. Without a doubt, the best food in Bend. Grab a pizza dumpling, throw some house made Teriyaki on it (don't ask, just do), and enjoy the euphoria. read more

At the Cascades Summer Festival, with a food cart section to make even the most discerning pallets water, this was the only cart we visited twice. It's not that these warm little doughy delights are all that complex in flavor, but their simplicity is part of their great appeal. You can't go wrong with your 3 flavor choices: pad thai, chinese pork, or four cheese. They fit perfectly in the palm of your hand, require no utensils, and aren't a major commitment, leaving room for visits to other carts, or another trip through their fast-moving line. With a 'why say no' price point of $3, freshly steamed buns, and a cheerful encounter, I can confidently say these guys got it right. Hope we see you in PDX some day! read more

These dumplings are simply perfection! Their prices are crazy low! And their staff is so sweet you'll get a cavity! This is the perfect casual place for lunch or a nice relaxing fun dinner with friends and family. Can't wait to go again I'm officially addicted! read more

Best dumplings in town, maybe best ever. Great for weekend late nights.

Excellent food. We were impressed! Though it's slightly difficult to locate, it was worth the hunt. We tried all of their dumplings that night and couldn't choose a favorite! Can't wait to visit Bend more so we can eat here again. read more

Soooo dang good would eat everyday if I could definitely a bend go to it you are not from here.. great staff and amazing food :))
