    Making Potstickers behind glass
    Melissa S.

    I've been here once before for a takeout order. One thing I noticed last time I was there, it's very hot in inside, but they may have been an issue during the summer. Sunday's visit was a bit stuffy inside. It was warmer than it needed to be, but it was comfortable in a short sleeve top and shorts. Sunday's high was 76. Parking is an issue, it's all street parking and on a Sunday in April it's quite busy. We lucked out and found a space only a couple of blocks away, close to the boxing gym behind Rick's Dessert Diner. Someone was just pulling out when we were cruising around for a parking space. It's all luck of the draw and The parking didn't have a time limit on it as it was a Sunday and there wansn't a meter. if you're willing to walk a few blocks you've got a higher chance of finding a space. There are a couple of parking lots, but they are paid parking and a few many blocks away. When looking at their menu you will notice that everyone is sold in multiples. You can't buy a single Bao, they only come in sets of 8. Potsticker are understandable and come in sets of 12, which splitting between two people is manageable. Right above us and behind glass there was someone making potstickers from scratch. They have a little machine that you place the filling in the skins and the machine stuffs the potstickers and folds them. They can make a lot in a short amount of time. We really liked the potstickers. I love how they pan fried them. They were all a little toasty, just what we had hoped for. They aren't that toasty on their own, but hey gave us two sauces. A soy sauce based sweet sauce, that was my favorite and a oil and red pepper sauce, that was a little spicy, but not too much. I could dunk a whole potsticker in it and my mouth wasn't burning. The dumplings would have been a healthier option as they aren't pan fried with all that oil, but not what I was craving. These were a good snack to tie us over before dinner. We also came back later after hanging out in midtown on our way home we bought 6 BBQ Pork Bao to go. They don't come with the paper on the bottom, which is nice as it's always hard to remove. They are easy to reheat in the microwave. My plans is to make them a good snack. I tried one right after we bought them and they were perfect. Good amount to meat inside and not too doughy. I'd order them again. I would go back, with the knowledge that it's a warm environment. Come with an appetite. They also make noodle dishes and other dishes such as honey walnut shrimp.

    Honestly, it hit the spot...I ordered the vegetarian pot stickers and the veggie fried rice. My main complaints were that the pot stickers were a little greasy and my fried rice was on the bland side. I LOVED the sauces it came with including the chili oil and those seemed to save the fried rice for me. The pot stickers actually had great flavor. I attribute the extra grease as a result of ordering delivery, which may not have given them the chance to be nice and crispy. Overall: large portions, very satisfying, packaged well. It was a great choice for a late night bite at work.

    Have been here a couple times now, the first time after it was recommend by a friend who came on a date and gave a great review. I'm not sure why it took so long to try this place but was super happy with my experience! This restaurant is a little small inside but has a decent amount of seating for dining in. The menu is great with lots of options and a ton of vegetarian options which was super nice to see! We ordered spicy edamame, cream cheese wontons, cucumber salad, vegetarian potstickers, and vegetarian bao. Everything was delicious! The food came out pretty quick and the staff were really nice. I've come back afterwards to try other times to-go, and it was just as good and didn't take long to get. Will be back!

    This is a cute little place. It was pretty cold inside though. We had the shumai and fried fish and chips. The taste of the shumai was good. However, it's a bit touch and chewing. I am use to shumai being soft. The fish and chips were enough for two people to share, the fish was flaky, but it was very breaded. The fries were good. The service was pretty good. It's self-service. You go up to the counter and place the order and they bring it to your table.

    Great food, but super expensive !!! Everything came out hot and flavorful and Everton at the restaurant was so nice The veggie buns come out a lot later than the other food - just to note

    The older building used to house a great breakfast restaurant that relocated to a bigger space downtown. However it's a perfect space for a dim sum restaurant. The bao were good although a little light on the inside goodness, the beef and chicken dumplings were good and the soy sauce base dipping sauce made them even better, the chicken and Chinese sausage chow mein was really good. I always judge Chinese restaurants by the quality of their chicken and beef they use and Dumpling House did good. Service was friendly and quick. Definitely will return to try other things on their menu.

    Pork and Chive Dumplings

    My friend and I checked out Dumpling House for dinner last night. It is a little hole in the wall on the corner of 24th and J Street in Midtown - across from Rick's Dessert Diner. The inside was very small with seats on both sides of the restaurant. We ordered the Crushed Cucumber, Edamame, Pork and Chive Dumplings and Dan Dan Noodles. I really liked the Pork and Chive Dumplings - they were super fresh and I liked watching the lady make them at the table next to us. I also really liked the Dan Dan Noodles - they were fresh and had the right amount of spiciness from the peanut sauce. I didn't really care for the Edamame or Cucumber - I thought they were both a bit underwhelming and I've had them better at other restaurants. Staff were very friendly and kept checking on us and filling our water glasses. The food was brought out quickly too. My only other negative was that it was very hot inside - I'm not sure if the A/C was broken or just not very strong, but my friend and I both left feeling like it was over 100 degrees inside. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and I left feeling overly full with plenty of leftovers to take home still. I would definitely come back again for some of those dumplings - some of the freshest in town! Check them out!

    A former Fish & Chips restaurant that turned into a dumpling restaurant, and for the price, the dumplings can't be best. Recommend their chicken (which comes with corn) or their pork and chives dumplings ($13 for 12). What makes them unique is that the dumpling skin is a little thicker, so they taste delicious fried. They still have fish and chips, which is surprisingly good. The fish is lightly battered and less fried than the typical fish and chips, so it tastes a little different, but healthier. Only downsides is that they serve all the food in plastic tray takeout containers (even when you're dining in) and their outdoor tables are all plastic picnic tables. You order inside and they'll bring the food out to you!

    First time here with our friends recommendation & did not disappoint. Its a smaller mom & pop spot but service was quick. We were greeted right when entering and the staff arranged our seating right away as there was 6 of us. Water served right away. Atmosphere is casual, nothing fancy, just more like going to your mom's place to eat. Its a dumpling spot, so we order shrimp and chicken dumpling, pork & chive dumplings, pork & veggies potstickers, walnut shrimp and their general chicken! The dumplings appeared to be steamed and were ok as it tasted plain but dipping into their sauce and chili oil makes a difference. On the other hand, the walnut shrimp and general chicken were well seasoned, flavors were there and crunchy to my taste. Also, the portions were bigger than I thought with 12 pieces for each and very shareble. Definitely will come back when in the area to try their other dumplings & dishes!

    I love it!! This was a lovely place, small but spacious and filled with so much warmth and deliciousness. We were immediately greeted and welcomed in with smiles. Seated quickly with a server that asked what we'd like to drink and if we had any questions. Service was beyond any of my wildest expectations! They were so polite, attentive, and friendly. They had so many different options, so I asked for recommendations. And they asked follow up questions to make sure I got something I would definitely enjoyed. We were checked up on frequently. Our waters were refilled without being asked, never lower than halfway. The food was phenomenal! It was so fresh, piping hot! The portions were amazing for the price point. We were stuffed and had some to take home too. The crispy chicken was definitely one of my favorites ever! It was so crispy, bite sized, and well seasoned!! Not too salty not too bland, and has a nice kick to it. The dumplings were filled! And the sauce- MY GOSH UNBELIEVABLE. I honestly, could drink it! Especially their chili oil, drenched every bite in it. And I dream of it even now. I was able to talk to a server about the dumplings, she told me she's been making them for over 20 years! And that they are all made fresh every day. Definitely worth stopping by! They feel like family. You'll be well taken care of and leave with a smile and a stomach full of dumplings!

    The aesthetics are basic but I don't care. It's not about the tables and chairs and decor. This is about dumplings. And I Love this place! As a Party of two today we HAD to get the four seater because we wanted to order A LOT to have leftovers. Our favorite kim chi dumplings plus regular steamed dumplings and first time getting the bao buns and garlic broccoli. Wow!!!! Lots of garlic- good thing we both ate it. And it was steamed to l perfection - still a little crunchy and the toppings were fantastic. But YES lots of garlic! The bao buns were soft and the dough is magical. The service was great as usual'

    This place is good for its price! However this place didn't hit the spot for me. The dumplings were served on a plate, which is different from traditional steamed dumplings being served on a bamboo steamer. For me, this made much of a difference because the dumplings got cold a lot faster and the dumpling wrapper got hard. Some people might not mind these factors so take my review with a grain of salt! There was plenty of room to sit on a Friday afternoon. We ordered quite a bit of food for just two of us, so the food was fairly cold by the middle of our meal. By the time we were done with our dumplings, they brought out our appetizers. Besides this, service was okay. One of our orders was a chili wonton and usually at other dumpling spots, they use chili oil. But they used chili powder. Interesting choice but just not what I'm used to! It was still pretty good. Overall, I give this place a 3/5 for its food. About average. Perfect for if you just want to get a quick dumpling craving out the way but not if you want out of this world delicious dumplings.

    I've eaten at this place a few times and it never fails to knock my socks off!! This spot radiates authenticity. You can tell a lot of love and care goes into the food. Watching them make everything is a real treat, and you can taste the fresh ingredients in all of their dishes. I'm a big fan of the vegetable dumplings. The vegetable chow mein is really good, and the barbecue pork buns are always a favorite. I've tried a few other things in the past, and I can honestly say every single time I've been thoroughly impressed and left curious to try more of the menu. Highly recommend this place. Very tasty. Whenever I'm in Midtown Sac, I definitely make an effort to stop by.

    Are they open on Presidents' Day?

    Do you take reservations?

    It's not that kind of place. First come, first serve on seating.

    Are they open for dinner on Christmas Eve?

    Do they sell Frozen dumplings?

    Indeed. Just loaded a menu of the frozen items.

    Do I need a reservation for a large group of people?

    Probably, the dining room is small

    Is there a descriptive menu available? We have food allergies so it would be nice to know what is in each dish before ordering. The menu here has the names of items but I don't know what is in Dan Dan noodles or some of the other items.

    No, there is not. Your best bet is to go to the restaurant and ask about the ingredients.

    Is this the dumpling house that used to be in downtown Davis? There was one that burned down that was amazing just wondering if they mived

    No the one that used to be in Davis has a second location called Dumpling and Tea House on Freeport Blvd

YH is a fun place to go to because the exterior and bathrooms scream Macaroni Grill, but walking inside it becomes a classic Chinese dim sum banquet hall! This review is based on their dim sum menu. Yue Huang has a bunch of options and my wife and I intend to eat through their entire menu to try to distill our favorite things. So far we have thoroughly enjoyed their shanghai pan-fried buns, steam rice roll w/breadstick, steam golden shrimp rice roll, and crispy pork belly.

The AI said it was top rated, and we had never been. By 7pm the dining room was busy, many of the parties Asian We ordered a pot of tea, crispy pork, potstickers, roast duck, honey bbq pork and the house noodle dish Yue Huang Chow Fun which had shrimp and chicken. THE PROS: Nice sit down restaurant decor. Large tables and cushy upholstered chairs. Not a strip mall cubicle. They have actually been awarded Michelin Honors three times. Portions were good sized, and flavors were nice. THE CONS: Unfortunately, we were underwhelmed by everything. All of the dishes arrived just warm. Staff never checked on us - not once - until we asked for some to-go boxes. They have two large tvs in the dining room, showing a loop of the restaurant I'm currently sitting in. The music in the dining area must have been on "Slow Girl Ballad" station on Spotify's free tier- as we honestly listed to a 10 min Samsung commercial in between songs - and not at a low volume. BOTTOM LINE: Maybe we were the exception- as there were clearly enough patrons to show it is a popular - but nothing about our experience made us want to come again. I guess we didn't see what the Michelin people saw. PRICE: $80

The dim sum carts had barely started making their way around the room when the next cart stopped by our table. The carts were constantly being refilled with a wide variety of dishes and continuously circulating, so there were plenty of options to choose from. We ordered the usual dim sum favorites.

To all my canto peeps, this will be the place where you feel like home. However a tad variation of preferences to taste buds. My family is from a different area from the Mr. with a different flavor profile than his. So here is our take: braised beef noodle soup - we loved but the Mr. loved it more. Soup reminded me of shoyu ramen with garlic. Simple, soothing and flavorful. I loved it but it was missing a few spices I am personally used to such as more spice mix and pickled mustard greens. House Fried Rice (Thursday special) - this was simple yet satisfying. With shrimp and Chinese sausage in it. Carb overload but it was such a comfort food we cant help but finish it. House soup dumplings which we also liked but again he loved this one more also. Again, simple yet flavorful, clean comfort food while i felt the skin was a tad thicker than what I prefer. So this one depends on your preferences. Regardless, this was still good. Ambiance: clean and welcoming. They have a TV screen to highlight their food items with pictures which I always love to help me find what i want to eat. But wont lie, it makes me want to get every item on there. They all look yummy. Service: Its a family run restaurant and one person serving everyone plus seating and taking the bill. So during rush hour, do expect wait times but I completely understand and don't mind it. I can see they are busy and would rather than go to a place that is slow where the server walks like a sloth. That is always an eye sore to me. Cost: prices are reasonable and same to any other places similar. Parking is in a huge plaza and can be crowded during rush hour but still enough just may need to walk further a bit. If we ever travel this way again, will definitely be back!
