Service was great. The staff were very friendly and accommodating--they even offered us free fried red bean. The dumplings overall were pretty good and the fried stick was well seasoned. We also had the fried pork potstickers but they were a bit more oily than I preferred. Definitely preferred the steamed dumplings and the juicy buns (soup dumplings). Ambiance has pretty large space and open. Each table has soy sauce and a decently spicy chili oil and they had a delivery robot. 9.5/10

Pork, shrimp, & chive dumplings 10/10. Follow me on IG: @YouDamnSkippy

I wandered in today because I was hungry, but not too hungry, and I had a feeling that some dumplings would hit the spot for lunch. I was right!! What I loved about these dumplings was that you can tell that the filling is seasoned prior to assembly. Everything was fresh so the wait time was about 20-25 minutes, but I didn't mind. I entered my order at the kiosk, took a seat, and waited for the robot to bring me my food (!). The cashier (who was also running orders) was so nice despite the fact that she was so busy. I'll definitely be returning.

We stumbled upon this place during their soft opening, so considering that my review is based upon what can be done better and my experience overall. When we got there, the place was packed and a line. We got in line to order and when it was our turn to order we had a few questions as we were seeking vegetarian options. The cashier did not speak very well English which made it difficult to make a choice. Their veggie dumplings had shrimp in them as mentioned on the menu which was confusing. After making our order, we waited approx. 20 mins before checking in for eta on the food. The cashier never put our ticket in so we had to wait an additional 30 mins for our food. The place itself was super hot inside since there are big windows facing the outside. Overall very disappointed in the service but I understand they were trying to figure it out. The food was very underwhelming. Our noodles were supposed to have tofu in them which was missing. Our dumplings had some type of meat in it so we weren't able to eat it. I do not suggest this place from my experience but giving them grace to hopefully figure it out as the place keeps running. Free parking outside so that was convenient!

We went on a Friday night at 6pm and beat the dinner rush. They are a sister restaurant of Northern China Eatery and fairly new. FOOD: Shrimp Stir Fried Thick Noodles ($14.95) - They should rename this to be called Veggie Ginger Stir Fry. You have to literally dig through the veggies to find any noodles. The only thing you can taste is ginger and the dish is very salty. I would not get this dish if you're actually wanting any noodles. Pan-Fried Pork Bun ($15.95) - The bun wrapper was good and decently thin and the bottom of the bun was properly crispy. The texture of the filling was very off-putting however. It was kind of like wet cat food and I couldn't finish it after picturing that. Crab Roe Soup Dumplings ($15.95) - The soup dumplings come in 6 pcs. It was visually good but the taste was fine. I had thought it would be topped with crab roe, but the filling is made with crab roe. These also should be renamed as it had no soup whatsoever and also had the wet cat texture. SERVICE: The workers were all kind, but it was all very very unorganized. You order and then grab a buzzer before you get a seat and it can get pretty crowded when a lot of people are waiting inside for their food. The biggest issue I had was the time it took for the food to come out and the order. We got our "noodles" at a decent time, but we waited for 30min for our dumplings/buns since we understood it was a new restaurant. We started to notice that there was no order and people were just coming up and asking if this was their food and the workers would just hand it to them since they did not know which table it should go to. We ended up getting our food after doing the same and going up multiple times to get the rest of our food. OVERALL: I do not like to leave reviews for new restaurants until I try it at least twice, but there seems to be a lot of the same recurring problems and I don't think they are actually taking time to change it. I hope it was them just working out the kinks of grand opening, but I don't see myself going out of the way to come here and spend money on the food.

So new, the sign hasn't even come in yet.

I hate to give this location a 3 unfortunately. I arrived at 4:00pm and they informed that they were on break till 4:30pm and would not be able to take my order at this time. Not going to complain, it's their first day "officially open" as they have had a soft opening between 1-4th. I placed my order finally around 5pm(decided to give them some time), they only had 1 person taking orders and they all seemed very distracted or pressured. Not a problem. I'm pretty patient and love watching chaos and upset customers. I placed my order for... 1xHot and Sour Soup Duo Combo with Chicken and Corn/Pork and Chive with Chicken Fried Rice. 1xFried Pork Bun 1x Yangzhou Fried Rice. Comes out to around $71 with 20% tip because it's the first day and I appreciate the time. I waited outside for about 10-15 minutes and then decided to go inside. Watching the chaos, I believe the cooks were not going in order. The Manager and I'm guessing one of the Part Timers were switching between taking orders and plating orders and calling them. Instead of keeping some of the items back to provide the Dumplins with the Rice, they were calling orders as they came up and scratching the item off the order tickets as they came out. Because of this, people had to get up multiple times and sometimes the manager went out to the tables to bring out the food if he remembered the order. Around 5:20pm, Auntie came in. She obviously is the one in Charge. She places the Part Timer at the counter, while the Manager is running things. She starts calling out orders and putting things in order. At around this time, there were three groups of people waiting for either a table, a togo order and then me. At around this time, I'm still waiting patiently. Just observing. One of the gentlemen there had the order after me, and was now trying to rush the team because his fried rice was taking so long. He finally gets out around 5:30pm. Then comes my order. First, the Pork Buns had been sitting on the counter in a container now, along with the dumplings from the the Duo combo. There's the Hot and Sour Soup. So we're waiting on the side of Chicken Fried Rice and the Yangzhou fried rice. I already thought the Chicken Fried Rice was done and sitting with the Dumplings. They finally say that my order is next and they are preparing my rice. Great. I drive home and start sorting the order out. This is where things go bad from my point. Everything before is fine to me. The price, it's fine, the service, it's fine, It's the first day and I understand things take time to get in order. Cool. No worries. However, they forgot my Yangzhou Fried Rice. They gave us what I think is considered the "Half Portion" of Chicken Fried rice, which came with the combo. It's still a big enough portion for two, so my roommate and I split it. He got his 12 dumplings, the 6 Chicken and Corn and Pork and Chive. I got my Pan Fried Buns and hot and sour soup. No Yangzhou Fried Rice though. There goes $13.95. :( I start eating. Here is the unfortunate. The buns were mid. Unfortunately, this batch had very mushy filling. This is usually a result of someone mixing the meat too much into a paste. The taste was there, but the texture was off and not like it normally was when I get these at North China Eatery. The Hot and Sour was good however, it was kind of plane. More sour than "hot" and definitely not HOT. Not as good as NCE. The fried rice was not as firm as I'd like as well. The rice was maybe overcooked a little or because of the rush on orders, they aren't able to use cold/room tempature rice, so the rice ends up overcooked. Due to the texture issues with the Buns and missing fried rice, I have to deduct points. I suggest giving them another chance if any of you recently had similar issues. It will hopefully get better over time and as they get used to everything.

shanghai pork soup dumplings
Maggie H.

This place was a disappointment to be honest. I saw that their menu had pork soup dumplings, and as someone on the search for some amazing soup dumplings, I decided to come here and give it a shot. Overall, this place needs better customer service/organization, and the food was extremely salty without us adding any soy sauce, chili oil, or anything. To start, you can either order from a kiosk or cashier. True to its name, it mainly has dumplings with a couple rice and noodle dishes. They also have a few different combos where you get either 6 or 12 dumplings with 1 or 2 sides. So, you order and pay first, then you grab a seat. They need a better system for delivering food to the customers because about three times, they came to us with the wrong food or wrong order (easily fixed with a number or buzzer system). Service felt off when there was visible confusion about the orders, especially waiting for small parts of our orders although the main dishes came. The dumplings and noodles were very salty, not needing any additional soy sauce or even vinegar. Traditionally, you eat the soup dumplings with vinegar or even chili oil, but it would have become too overwhelming. I had to dilute the noodles with some water in order to eat it. I like that the cashier gives you water cups, which can be refilled with water from their soda vending machine. They also provide plastic utensils and chopsticks that you grab yourself near the refreshments. There's several booth and high table seating, good for small and big parties. Free parking is available in the plaza lot, but not directly next to the restaurant.

Shrimp fried rice. Shrimp and pork dumplings. Pancake
Dee-Dee W.

A small close setting that plays trendy music. You order at a counter and when the food is ready, it's brought to you. The cashier was pretty nice with answering questions and giving suggestions. I got the 8 dumpling combo with a side. I chose shrimp fried rice for my side but there were a ton of options. Some cold as well. A ginger ale for my drink. Everything was good and really fresh. I would've liked more shrimp in the rice but they were jumbo shrimp so I figured that's why it's less. I was hesitant based on the reviews but I'd go again. Perfect for a light quick lunch.

Stir-fried thick noodles with beef
Emmaly N.

When you walk in, you can choose your own table and order with the cashier or at the kiosk. Super cutely decorated interior and fun music. We ordered the pan fried buns, stir fry noodles, cucumber salad, and wonton soup. The cucumber salad was very refreshing and flavorful. The wonton soup had mini wontons, seaweed, and egg drop; it was very filling and just right for a cold day. The buns were kind of oily but the meat was a great flavor - they were on the expensive side, but still good. The noodles were thick, chewy, and I think a little under seasoned, but my partner thought it was just right. Servers were great, there were only 2 of them and they were very busy and helpful.

We ordered egg drop soup, hot and sour soup, pan fried pork dumplings, steamed dumplings and fried rice. I thought the soups were pretty good but really small portions. The pan fried dumplings were good and flavorful, it wasn't too crispy though. The steamed dumplings were pretty good and I loved the chives inside. The fried rice I thought could use more flavor to it, didn't have that wok fried flavor to it but I liked the vegetables inside. I would say this place isn't the typical sit down service restaurant. We were served by a robot and ordered on the kiosk because the cashier was busy. You also have to clean up after yourself. Not sure why there is a tipping system if it's mostly self service. Overall the food and service was okay.

Dumplings and fried rice
Victoria R.

When I saw the announcement of the new location I was excited and stopped in because I never get out to the original. This visit was pure disappointment including subpar service. - wayyy overcooked dumplings - disappointing b/c they require you to order so many - fried rice wasn't good; no flavor - no non-soda drinks were available including bottled water

Steamed dumplings

We crave this place. Homemade dumplings and hand rolled noodles. Try the scallion pancakes they are so good. So far everything we have tried here is excellent. Tonight we had the steamed chicken buns, dumplings, chicken noodle dish and scallion pancake. Fantastic! Hot and Sour soup is great too especially as the weather is getting cooler.

Vegetable homemade buns
Kush P.

This place has great vegetarian options and is very good. My favorite dish I have tried here so far are the spicy cold noodles. Their prices are a little high but on par for the area. They have a cool robot that sends food to your table and an ordering kiosk. These things help speed up getting your food. The place is busy with take away orders but it's easy to walk in an find a table. Sauces, plates, drinks, and utensils are all self serve. Overall I really love this place and will continue to go back.

The wonton soup and pork potstickers tasted off. The Shanghai soup buns were good, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way for them.

When I walked in, I was impressed to see a Michelin-recommended sign posted at the entrance, which definitely made me curious to try something they were recognized for.

The noodles were so fresh, and I loved that you can actually customize and pick your noodle size. It was also really cool that you can watch them make the noodles right through the window! The restaurant was clean, and we were able to be seated right away. There was a steady flow of people to include take out but it didn't feel overwhelmingly busy. The waitstaff was excellent and made sure we fully understood how the menu worked. Our food was delivered promptly and all at one time. While everything tasted great, I would have preferred the appetizers to come out first, as delivering it all together put a lot on the table at once. Overall, it's a frilly good , clean spot with great service, and I'd definitely recommend it!

I've had this place on my list of places to visit for a long time, ever since I saw them opening so…read moreI hopped out of bed and decided today was going to be the day and I took my butt out there to have lunch. The customer service was A1 as a matter of fact is it possible to be too customer service focused because she made sure attention was given. I can't remember her name but she did awesome. Let's talk about this food. I love the scallion pancake and just up the road is Trader Joe's who has a really good product for scallion pancake but there is nothing like getting it at a restaurant. It was so flaky and crispy I'm obsessed. You can never go wrong with a spring roll and so I got the veggie spring rolls and enjoyed them immensely but for me the star of the show was my entree. The house Chow fun that had shrimp steak chicken was so good. The veggies while minimal worked perfectly so the protein and noodles were the stars. And I definitely left with it to go box. There was enough food to keep you satiated at the restaurant and have a meal at home. They also have a list of boba tea and milk teas that will keep you engaged. While I didn't purchase one plenty of people came in to order them. And there was no shortage of In-N-Out traffic of residents coming in for lunch and doing takeouts. So if you want a cute lunch date go and check out dumpling master. Okay bye

**EVERYTHING IS SELF-SERVICE**…read more SERVICE (2/5): You pretty much seat yourself, scan the QR CODE on the table and order from your phone. Grab your own water, utensils, and napkins from the station set up at the front. They have real plates on the table, but also paper plates at the self-serve station. FOOD (3/5): Some of the things I had was really good, some weren't very good. Hit or miss. $7 MILK TEA: I didn't want boba, but didn't know how to order it without on my phone, whoops! It was yummy. $8 PORK & SHRIMP SIU MAI: they were undercooked and I could heavily taste flour. I love that they are made fresh, however either thin out the dough or cook longer. $9 PORK SOUP DUMPLINGS: these were delish! And came with a sweet dipping sauce. $13 GARLIC BOK CHOY: shareable portion and very flavorful! This was my favorite item. Comes with white rice, but the rice was hard and tasted old. OVERALL (3/5): I wasn't super impressed, but there aren't many Asian restaurants in this area.

We were a party of 5 and found both the food and the service to be inconsistent. The Food: Most dishes were mediocre or worse. The Three Cups Chicken (1/5) was the worst I've ever had. The Hong Kong Style Shrimp (1/5) was just bland, tasteless fried shrimp. The Lamb with Scallion (2/5) was far too salty. The only "average" dish was the Spicy Beef and Tendon (3/5), but one decent dish can't save a meal this poor. The Service & Billing: The service was quite slow during our visit. We waited a long time for the check and eventually ended up packing our own leftovers and heading to the front counter to pay so we could head out. I was also surprised to see an automatic 20% gratuity added to the bill, especially since it was calculated on the total after tax ($23.07 tip on a $106.80 subtotal). While I understand automatic tips for groups, it felt a bit high due to poor services. There are a lot of great dining spots in the area, but based on this disappointing visit, I'm sure I would not return to this one.

A unique noodle dish with a cute origin story!…read more The story begins with a wife wanting to nourish her husband while he studied for the Imperial Exams on a little island. She made a rich golden chicken noodle soup and sealed in the flavor, heat, and aroma with a layer of chicken oil; and packed the other ingredients separately so that her husband could have a fresh meal as he studied. This dish and style of preparation/presentation eventually became known as Crossing-the-Bridge noodles and is categorized as an intangible cultural heritage for the region. Similar to hot pot, you're supposed to cook the individual ingredients in the hot broth when it all comes out; however, the pot isn't constantly cooking and it should all go in when it arrives at the table. The original broth is really flavorful, while remaining delicate and hearty, and all the various components go well together. The only thing is that the broth does cool down relatively quickly once you start putting in all the other ingredients, so some things weren't as hot as I would've liked. But, overall, I enjoyed my experience! Service was wonderful and there's always parking in this plaza.
