    Beef chow fun like dish
    Jennifer U.

    It was a bit warm and stuffy in there. I ordered the pork soup dumplings and beef chow fun. Food came out nice and hot. Chili oil at table to add to the food because I love my spice. The soup dumplings were really tasty and loved of the noodles weren't too salty nor too oily.

    My sister in law was visiting my parents and I and she wanted some dim sum to eat in the area. I have heard of this place and always wanted to try it, so we opted to go here. This used to be where the Togo's sandwich was located alongside Willow Pass Road. Now, it became a dim sum restaurant. Sitting was easy and we were sat right away. Scallion Pancake: I always enjoy this and this was fried perfectly for me. No unique dipping sauce, so I just used the table soy sauce. Otherwise, it was alright for me. Shu Mai: The staple for dim sum. A mixed of pork and shrimp and it was rather good. Though not sure how all 4 ended up in a corner versus being in the middle of the steamed carrier. The flavors were alright and the texture was good. I did enjoy it. Beef Chow Fun: This one helped with the meal. Wanted something a little filling and this bit the spot. The noodles were cooked perfectly for me and it was not too salty. The beef was also alright as well. Green Beans: A very simple dish and I loved it. Can never go wrong with this plate. Pork XLB and Spicy Pork XLB: I am grouping these two together since they are very similar and only differ in spiciness. Overall, I was not impressed with them. They easily tore upon pick up and even using the soup spoon designated for this, I was not impressed. I didn't get much flavor out of it for the pork, and the soup broth was just ok. The spicy one was nice, but can get overwhelming fast. Overall, it was a nice place to eat. Maybe I would go here again, but probably try other stuff.

    We came when they first opened and there was not enough servers so we actually ended up leaving after waiting 10mins without anyone acknowledging us. We finally came back more recently when it seems like they figured out some more help and were seated right away. Service was fast and food was quite affordable! I'd say everything was just ok, like a solid 3-stars, nothing to really write home about but good for a quick takeout meal or weeknight dinner.

    scallion pancake, pan fried soup dumpling bun

    Dumpling and Noodle House serves very decent food with affordable prices. The average price per dish is around $14-16 with great portion sizes. My favorite dish was the eggplant with garlic sauce. The eggplants were soft. Each eggplant was smothered with the delicious garlic sauce. We had to wait a few minutes for it to cool down because it would burn our tongue, so that's telling that these dishes were freshly made. The beef roll was rolled perfectly and packed with meat and veggies. The combination fried noodle was pretty good. I like the flat noodle version. The pan fried soup pork bun was perfectly made. Look at the browning of the bottom. Crispy. Not burnt nor soggy. Soup was hot, but it was there! Putting chili oil in it after drinking the soup was just satisfying. Lastly, the scallion pancakes would be the only dish I would not order again. It was very thin that I can barely taste the flavor or anything of it. I wish they served more and thicker scallion pancakes. Overall, this restaurant is decent. Customer service was great. Clean and spacious.

    Our family was looking for a place to meet to celebrate my daughter's 20th birthday and came across this restaurant by chance. It turned out PERFECT! The table was beautifully set, friendly and helpful staff explaining the menu to my older parents. The food came out in a timely manner and so fresh and delicious! The owner even surprised us with a special birthday dish for my daughter! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Pan Fried Juicy Pork Bun(6)-(6)
    Angie E.

    Everything tasted great. The spicy fried chicken is REALLY spicy, like it had this tongue numbing effect so just beware of that. The pan fried pork dumplings were very crispy on the bottom. They actually tasted better the next day as leftovers in my opinion because I felt like the bottoms were too crunchy. The spicy pork soup dumpling was perfect, so good! The beef Ho Fun was sooooo good! And the salt and pepper chicken was also really good! Service was excellent!

    Soup dumplings
    Yvonne F.

    I was craving soup dumplings for lunch after running errands and stumbled upon Dumpling and Noodle House! The restaurant is very mom-and-pop, and it seems like the entire family was working on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant's ambiance is not the nicest, but this is not the type of restaurant where you come for the ambiance. We ordered the soup dumpling and they were larger than what I was used to, but the flavor was the same - delicious! We also ordered the beef roll (my favorite) and an order of fried rice. Service was quick and kind.

    Tantan noodle
    Tony W.

    Very different experience than my last one Ordered the tan tan noodle. Was so terrible. The noodles were the same texture of barilla thin spaghetti and the taste was off. Menu here changed a lot and added a lot of non authentic Chinese foods which is very disappointing Service was fine, but restaurant itself seemed to also be not as clean as it was before.

    We've been pretty regulars here since they opened and for good reason. Food is always hot and fresh. No frills just good food. We had the garlic eggplant and green beans and they wete so fragarent and hot. The beef rolls were crispy and flavorful. Fried rice had plenty of shrimp and eggs without being greasy. We tried a new appetizer, the crispy fish and the portion was huge! Wish it had a little more sauce with it, but still pretty good. Fried well withoult being oily. We always like being here because service is always good and friendly. The place isn't huge but has many seating options so we've had big family meals with 8-10 people or the more usual 2-4 persons. Always a great place for some great Chinese food.

    Cucumber Salad-拍黄瓜
    Glenn L.

    Had a craving for the cucumber salad at Dumpling and Noodle House! We also ordered the beef roll (if you love cilantro, this is for you), the pork and shrimp soup dumplings, the chicken and mushroom boiled dumplings, the fried leek pockets (the noodles in side the pockets are nice), and the eggplant with garlic sauce. Food was all amazing!

    Pork Wonton in Chili Oil
    Dominic V.

    This is a hole in the wall spot I recommend trying. They have a good amount of parking and it's very low key inside with great service. You order off of a QR code and can either order individually or as a group. If you order as a group, I would recommend having 1 person handle the order since it can get a bit chaotic and multiple things can be added to the order without notice. The dumplings are a must have, I don't care which ones you get. They are juicy, flavorful and meaty. Honestly, everything is flavorful here without a single dish that we got lacking. My favorites are always dipped in chili oil so I highly recommend that. If you get the regular pork or any meat flavored XLB, they give you a bit of vinegar on the side that is meant to compliment the soup inside. BE CAREFUL, IT IS HOT. The fish and tofu dish was so refreshing that we forgot I needed to take a picture before digging in, so forgive the lack of, we all had divided up portions before I remembered to take a picture. The fish was very smooth and a refreshing flavor from all of the salty and spicy. And the green beans was very well blanched and sautéed with a good wok flavor to add some greens to the carb and protein loaded meal. I am absolutely coming back here and I wished I had ordered more to take some home and eat at a later time because this spot is a little hard for me to get to on a daily basis but very worth it.

    Chinese Beef Roll-
    Alyssa C.

    My new go-to dim sum spot!! I recently moved and was looking for a new dim sum spot and this place beats my old one! Everything was super fresh, not oily, and very reasonably priced. I tried the Chinese beef roll. I'd never had this before and I was pleasantly surprised how delicious it was. Def will be getting this again. The soup dumplings were delicious and a must try. The other dumplings were good but I think I'll try something new next time. I got a Thai tea on the side and it was good! Inside there is plenty of seating, including half booths. There were a couple of groups of people dining on a weekday and I can see why this place is popular :) Would recommend!

    Sau mai. Kept forgetting to take pictures before eating. Sorry.

Overall great food in a no-frills environment with decent portions and prices. Would return to try other dishes.

We decided…read moreto share our individual choices family-style--much like eating dim sum--which allowed us to get a taste of every dish. We all left knowing we'd definitely be back with our families and friends. The ultimate highlight for me was a surprisingly unique Salt and Pepper Squid. I am not usually a squid lover, but this beautiful dish instantly enticed me. The squid was presented almost like cauliflower and cooked to crisp perfection, complemented by vibrant red and green peppers. What is often a tasteless ingredient was bursting with rich umami flavor! The Changsha Chicken Clay Pot was packed with flavor and tender chicken. Similarly, the Seafood Tofu Clay Pot--a Cantonese classic--was exceptionally well prepared. The Cumin Lamb was incredibly tender; while I don't eat lamb myself, the rest of our table absolutely loved it. Even the Orange Peel Chicken (or General Tso's)--a classic Americanized Chinese dish with fried chicken in a sweet and sour sauce--was a big hit with those who ordered it. Lunch was also served with their signature pickled vegetables, fried peanuts, and a choice of hot and sour or corn soup--all of which were delicious. Located in a quiet corner of the Countrywood Shopping Center, Sichuan House is a spinoff of the highly popular Sichuan Fortune House in Pleasant Hill. Over the years, the menu has evolved to suit local tastes by incorporating popular Cantonese specialties and non-spicy options alongside traditional fare. Regardless of what you order, the competent kitchen delivers consistently delicious food. Between the tasty, well-executed dishes, the clean and calm interior, and the friendly, attentive service, Sichuan House will easily make you a return customer!

Every bite was packed with flavor (savory, very cumin-y and spicy!) , and even the veggies were fully infused with it. It went perfectly with steamed rice. I want to give a warning though, because this dish was extremely spicy, which I personally loved. I liked it so much that I ended up ordering another one to go so I could keep eating it at home over the next few days, lol. I also want to give a shout out to the guy who was basically single-handedly running the restaurant yesterday. He saw us walk in carrying a car seat and offered us a high chair, but he flipped it upside down so we could safely place the car seat on it. Such a simple back but genius. On top of that, he was super friendly the entire time. The restaurant was pretty empty, which is pretty normal for this restaurant whenever we visit it, although they seem to get a lot of takeout orders - happy for them.

It wasn't like the Hawaiian style shaved ice which is based on frozen water, but more like Korean style Bingsoo with a milky shaved ice base. The flavor and texture were both good, but I thought it was missing the toppings. It relied solely on syrup, and I think it would've been much better with fresh fruit or other toppings to add more flavor. It was $5.99 per order as of July 2026.

And I do not say that lightly because vegetarian options sometimes get treated like sad side salads The string beans and tofu were flavorful, savory, perfectly cooked, and honestly the star of the table for me. The fried rice was pure comfort food energy. Simple, nostalgic, satisfying. The hot and sour soup personally wasn't my favorite because it leaned a little too tart for my taste, but everyone else seemed to love it. The Fried banana bites with vanilla ice cream, caramel drizzle, chocolate drizzle, whipped cream... absolutely unnecessary in the best possible way. Tiny crispy dopamine orbs.
