Located Downtown, off 16th street so Street and/paid parking only. Short distance walk from three Capitol. Lots of food options. Everything was delicious. My favorite from what we ordered would be the cumin beef. read more

Ambiance is very nice, parking is hard to fine. Food is good, I like their szechuan dishes. Dumplings aren't that standout for me. It's a good restaurant if you are out in the area and craving some Chinese stir fries read more

Modern and spacious Chinese restaurant that offers big portion. I don't believe there was anything here that we ordered that we didn't like, although the peanut butter noodles were what pushed us over the top in terms of fullness. Service was nice and we were frequently checked in on. We were almost at the point of over ordering to which our server said "this is a lot of food" so we cooled down, and I'm glad we listened because it was A LOT. read more

Another revolving door in Sacramento, this time filled with a modern Chinese restaurant. This restaurant has so much space inside with plenty of tables, booths, and bar seating. We arrived on a Thursday around dinner time and found it scarcely populated. The staff were extremely sweet and excited to have customers. I think this would be a good place to host a party or a large group but I'm wondering if they do that often. Overall, the ambience skewed, very modern, Asian, almost a club vibe based on the decor and lighting. We ordered the pork chili wonton, which was excellent. It had great flavor and the wonton skins were soft. I was interested in trying the dry pot, so we tried the shrimp one. There were a lot of veggies and bean sprouts along with the shrimp. The shrimp had excellent fried texture and the dish overall was extremely flavorful and spicy. My friend believed that there was a very strong ginger flavor, but I think we eventually realized it was just Szechuan seasoning. We also ordered some pork Xiao long bao. I was very happy to see that you could order them in portions of five for $10.95 instead of nine. It served as a nice appetizer. I hope this place does well, but I can't imagine it will last that long based on the amount of clientele. read more

Dumpling King Asian Cuisine - Menu as of 6/4/2026 - Szechuan Near Me - Sacramento, California

Very big space for big flavors. Came here twice and received great service and food each time. First was laaate night. One of the few places open late past midnight on the weekend. Ate some mapo tofu and westlake soup the first time. Yo, the mapo tofu is suuuupper numbing. Perfect. Coulda taken more heat but it was late so it was good for no heartburn. I think it was on the saltier side but couldn't tell because I was so numb westlake soup was very clean flavor. Savory and perfect when it was cold out. Our server I believe was Cece and she was nice and attentive. Second time I came I learned they had a 5 dumpling for 6$ special. I wasn't sure if it's a weekly or daily special but I was there on a Monday evening. The soup dumplings were yummy!! Good bite to the wrapper and enough filling and soup. They ran out of olives for my dirty martini but that's okay, I still got good briney flavor from the drink. Then we got the cumin lamb (cece recommended for the next time I arrive). Shrimp fried rice and scallion pancake. I loooved the cumin lamb! Soo savory. And the fried rice balanced it out, good light flavor and not oily. Scallion pancake was standard, nothing too extravagant. Our server this time was K and she was so much fun!!! Attentive to us and other guests and added to the experience. Thanks and I look for to bringing more friends to try more menu items! read more

Lots of street parking. Nice large interior. Outdoor seating available. It's pretty spacious, so you don't feel so cramped. There's booth seating, table seating, and bar seating available. The staff is extra nice and accommodating (they came by several times and asked if we needed help and even help take our pictures for us). Food is pretty good. Lots of flavor. Nevertheless, I would suggest to ask for less salt on the green beans. The soup dumplings and the honey walnut shrimp was a hit! This was my first time here and won't be my last. read more

This place is very large and nicely decorated. We had reservations before our son graduated since it's a 5 min walk from the venue. Yangzhou Fried Rice 5/5 Salt and Pepper Fish Fillet 5/5 Honey Walnut Shrimp 4.5/5 Stir Fried String Beans 2/5 (Too salty but they remade the dish with less salt and brought it up to a 4/5) Shrimp and Pork Soup Dumplings 4.5/5 Sizzling Black Pepper Beef 5/5 I'd definitely come back here. Service was 5/5 also!! read more

I think all places in midtown can be pricey... the service was slow... they only had two servers during lunch and there were several large tables. With that said it is still a good place to go as long as you are not in a rush! Loved the spicy wontons... though I did think it would be spicier. The dumplings had good flavor. Not sure about the beef roll though. read more

Open late! This is mainly how we found this spot, we were looking for something later in the evening. This place was vibes with the music and ambiance. Service could be better but everyone was so friendly and food service was quick! read more

Update 2/20/25 Friends coming to town for a show wanted to meet us for a bite. Because it's Lunar New Year week, I thought Dumpling King would be a perfect choice. I called and made reservations, worried they'd be swamped. We were greeted warmly , sat promptly and perused the menu. We ordered the Yangzhou fried rice, 3 flavor dumplings, stir fried string beans and honey walnut shrimp. On our server's recommendation, we also ordered the pork soup dumplings, which were on special. Green beans came out first , then the dumplings , then the rice and then the shrimp. I agree with other reviewers who thought the wrapper on the dumplings was a little thick. But the flavor was good. The green beans were the hit of the table, being not too spicy but very flavorful. The honey walnut shrimp was delicious, but the broccoli around the sides was cold and didn't seem to be an integrated part of the dish. We waited a good 20 minutes after the majority of the food was served to inquire about the soup dumplings. Our server went to check and said they would be ready soon. Another fifteen minutes passed, and it was getting close to when our friends had to leave for the theater. I flagged our server to cancel the order and ask that it be taken off our bill. Turns out they had just finished , so we were given them complimentary to take home. All in all, it was a lovely dinner. Everyone was satisfied and I appreciate making the soup dumplings right. We will come back again. read more

We came to eat at the spot with my friend and her 13-year-old daughter because she highly recommended it. Said her kids loved it and they have specials on the dumplings. Brought my 14-year-old nephew my 13-year-old daughter my nine-year-old daughter my seven-year-old son and my husband and everybody loved it! The restaurant itself is nice and large and open and full of light and has a nice modern style and a bar. Our server was very nice and gave recommendations in our food. Came out very quickly. Everything we got was delicious and very large portions. We will definitely be coming back to try some more. Parking is downtown so we had to go a little bit down the street but other than that very easy to get to. read more

This kind of cuisine is in my blood so the restaurant name alone caught my eye when I drove past (on the way to Midtown Farmer's Market). Stopped in on a rainy Saturday, perfect for hot dumplings and such. The menu is extensive and we enjoyed everything we ordered. They've got us hooked now- even though we have to travel 30 minutes to Sacramento for it, we'll be back! read more

Went there for my son's birthday and we all loved it. Cute place. Wasn't packed. I'm sure it is on a weekend especially with the nightlife downtown. Amazing customer service. Large portions and they gave my son a free dessert for his birthday (the custard filled pus that were so freakin cute) and they sang him happy birthday. Plus the food was great! 10/10 highly recommend read more

Dumpling King Asian Cuisine is officially that spot for late-night eats on the grid. We came in about an hour before closing (they're open until 1am, bless them), and instead of keeping it light... we chose chaos. And I regret nothing. We went full smorgasbord: vegetable spring rolls (crispy and satisfying), hot and sour cucumbers (bright, punchy, and addictive), and a cup of hot and sour soup that absolutely did what it needed to do. But the piece de resistance - the moment - was the dry pot cauliflower with dried tofu. MMM MM MM. Chef's kiss. Deeply flavorful, comforting, and one of those dishes you keep thinking about the next day. We also ordered the stir-fried flat noodles, which honestly reminded me a lot of drunken noodles (IMHO) and were absolutely lovely - savory, satisfying, and perfect for sharing. And because you cannot go to a dim sum spot and not order dumplings, we added the steamed vegetable dumplings. They came out piping hot (temperature-wise), super filling, and exactly what you want late at night. Since it was late, I assumed the staff might be ready to wind down - but our server Jasmine was wonderful. Warm, diligent, and genuinely attentive. We were checked in on regularly and felt completely taken care of, which honestly elevated the whole experience. Dumpling King took over the old Station 16 space, and I'll admit I had reservations. It's a big venue, and I worried a dim sum restaurant might feel lost in it - but not at all. The decor is lovely, tidy, and welcoming, and the space feels just right. And HOW could I forget the chili oil - absolute FIRE. So good I asked for some to go. I am so excited to have a late-night dim sum option on the grid. Dumpling King exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend. read more

This restaurant offers a great party atmosphere and a lively vibe. We ordered the shrimp and pork XLB, the three ways dumplings and the garlic string beans. Everything tasted excellent, with the string beans being really good! While the XLB was flavorful and filled with plenty of soup, the soup spoons provided were a bit too small. Since I prefer to poke a hole in my XLB to add sauce and chili oil before eating, the small spoons made it difficult to keep the soup from spilling over. So if you do how I'd like to eat XLBs, reserve the sauce bowl if you're the XLB poking and soup slurping first kind Also, the dumpling wrappers on the Three Flavors Dumplings were some of the thickest I've had, so I couldn't give them a perfect score on those. Nevertheless, it was a solid dining experience. I would still order the XLB if I come back and maybe try a few other dishes on the menu. read more

We came here late and got the best pot stickers and soup dumplings I have ever had! They were crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. Their dumpling sauce was sweet and tasty as well as the vinegar and soy for savory palates. We ordered the cocktails and they were bigger than most and strong!! On going pork soup dumplings for$1 each. Parking- small lot across the street. Big place lots of tables. Great for families. read more

I am glad that I finally dined in at Dumpling King. I did not enjoy all the menu items that I ordered, but I will visit again as there are other items that I want to try. What I enjoyed the most was the spicy beef tendon. I love the numbing spice. I am ecstatic that I am able to find it closer to home. The other items that I truly liked were the spicy wontons and the lava buns with salted egg yolk. The fried chicken with dry chilis were not bad, but I wasn't expecting chicken pieces similar to popcorn chicken. I liked the flavors of the shrimp and pork XLB; however, some of the pieces were quite dry and did not contain enough broth. What I really did not enjoy was the hot and sour soup. It was overwhelming sour and I could not drink another sip. 4 stars for the excellent customer service and the spicy tendon. read more

Had a great first experience here at Dumpling King! They have a really spacious spot on 16th Street but I was shocked it wasn't even busy at all on a Sunday at lunch time. Hopefully they'll get the word out more so they can be packed! There is a great variety on the menu, and we definitely over ordered but we had plenty of options for 6 of us. My favorites were the General Tso's Chicken, Sticky Rice Pork Siumai, and Beef Roll! The pork XLB was wrapped well but wish they gave ginger for the vinegar! Everything we got was delicious though, but I really wish they had options for baked bao. That's one of my favorite things to order and I feel like it should be a staple item on the menu. They had steamed ones and they weren't bad but I wish the filling was cut down to smaller pieces. Overall good experience, not sure if I'd come here over my other 2 favorite dumpling spots in Sacramento since you have to pay for parking here, but it's a good option if you wanted something right in the middle of downtown. read more

Well we just wanted a hot, real meal at 11pm in Sac and found out this place. Seems to be very new and fancy. They also have a bar section which is why they open until midnight. We had their signature dumplings and Green onion pancake. Green onion pancake was a little disappointing as an appetizer coz it was chewy, soggy and greasy. (3/5) Dumplings were delicious! HUGE sizes and "not bland" fillings. Soft and savory! Vegetable one is definitely a star. (5/5) Service is okay! Ambience is modern and alive! read more

We were not very impressed by their dishes as they lacked that pizzazz. We ordered green beans, XLB, spicy wontons, pan fried buns, and bacon fried rice. Everything was just average, not terrible, but it didn't give me that "wow" reaction. They did not cut off the ends of their green beans, so eating it was a little tough. But the flavor was there, so I would order that again. The pan fried buns were large, but it just lacked flavor and the texture was a bit weird. We also order chocolate XLB for dessert, it was also just okay, but I can appreciate them having that on the menu compared to other modern dumpling spots in Sac. We got a couple beers and cocktails. The pineapple margarita was delicious, but the Soulmate cocktail was superrrr strong. Service was also just okay, they were attentive. The restaurant itself is really nice and spacious with plenty of booths. They have a full bar and a window to watch the workers make dumplings. I also can appreciate that they open late in the night if you're having Chinese food cravings. All in all, I was a little disappointed with our visit as I really wanted to be blown away. But I'm down to give this place another shot in the future. read more

We loved Dumpling King! My partner and I got several plates to share with each other. Each selection was great! We loved the spicy pork wontons were amazing and we definitely would get them again! My partner got the fried rice and loved it. The service was quick and accommodating when we requested a table in a specific part of the restaurant. The server was kind and friendly throughout our stay. The place was clean and organized. The amount of TVs by the bar area were nice and had all sorts of sports to watch. We would definitely return! read more

From the moment we came to the door until we left, I have to say, we had a great experience. I will be honest, I did not what to expect , as we have a "go to" Dim-sum spot and here we are, another one opened in a former place we used to love. This was the former Station 16 location but I am impressed with the folks from the moment we came in!! Service was great, We were greeted right away and you can tell they want people to have a great experience. Our server had a deep voice lol and knows his stuff. We ordered a few things on the menu and it was worth the wait. The beef dish was tasty and they light that thing front of you. Customer service was awesome, they checked on us a lot and again, the food, I can say was uhhhhhhmazing. Keep the quality you guys! Ambiance is still sports bar type from the old location but food and service is def sooo much better!! read more

If I could give a 4.5 and not a 4 I totally would. The food is so flavorful! I got 7 dishes and still felt like there was so much more which is why I look forward to going back. Before I start: this is the home of the best fried rice in sac and it's not even close. Bacon fried rice? Chefs kiss! Why I give a 4.5 and not a 5 the garlic ribs were somewhat dry could've used more garlic but still had some flavor. The pork and veggie dumpling I'm not sure if it was missing some sauce or if I should've added more sauce myself. I know they have way more dumplings, and passing by they looked delicious so maybe it was just me? But still this is the dumpling King the dumplings I had were good but I'm sure their other dumplings are fire. The egg plant I was pleasantly surprised tasted really good. If you've never had egg plant this is the place. Also I'm not a spicy person but I can see my self adding some chili paste to compliment their favor. Sichuan shredded beef and honey walnut shrimp delectable! read more

This is a brand new restaurant so they're still working out a lot of kinks! Honestly the food was delicious though! We really enjoyed it. It was the right amount of flavor for the dumplings and the beef broccoli! The Dan Dan Noodles were also really good but felt they could use an extra flavor boost. Whether that be from the peanut flavor or the spice. Their alcohol selection is extremely limited because they are new but would come back just for the food. Inside was cute and spacious and clean. Definitely give them a try (: read more

I was excited to check out the new spot where Station 16 used to be. It has not even been open a week yet, but the space is still beautiful, and I was looking forward to trying their Szechuan food. We were seated right away and the service was excellent. Our server was friendly, helpful with recommendations, and very attentive. We ordered the cauliflower and tofu dry pot, soup dumplings, vegetable dumplings, and cucumber salad. A few things we wanted, like the spicy beef tendon and some cocktails, were not available yet, which was a little disappointing for such a new restaurant. The standout dish was the cauliflower and tofu dry pot. The flavor was great, but the balance was a little off, with tiny pieces of tofu and far too many bean sprouts. The soup dumplings and vegetable dumplings were just okay, not very flavorful or juicy. Overall, it feels like they are aiming for a Din Tai Fung vibe. They have nailed the aesthetic, but the menu still needs work. I will give them the benefit of the doubt since they just opened, but nothing really wowed me this time. I would be open to coming back in a year once they have had time to refine things. The menu is massive, which can sometimes hurt a place, but if they narrow it down to what really works, it could help them shine. read more

Came here after a day of sightseeing in Sactown. So glad we did!! There were 4 of us and we all agreed that it was absolutely delicious. My friends had the dumplings, we had the black peeper beef, egg drop soup and spring rolls. The black pepper beef was amazing!! Service was good, but our food came out one item at a time instead of all together, which was kinda strange. Beautifully done restaurant too - nice bar, great booths, clean bathrooms.

We got the shrimp dumpling which was delicious and we got the sizzling black pepper steak skillet. It had so much flavor and the meat was tender. We also ordered the general tso chicken.

Went to Dumpling King Asian Cuisine and overall had a great experience. The cucumber salad was super refreshing with a nice garlicky kick. The pork soup dumplings had delicate wrappers and good broth, but the flavor was a little bland for me. The Spicy Wontons in Chili Oil stole the show -- packed with flavor and easily my favorite. I'd go back just for those. The chocolate dessert dumplings were a fun, sweet way to end the meal. Friendly service with great recommendations, and a casual, comfortable vibe. Not a full 5 stars because I wanted more depth from the soup dumplings, but I'd definitely return. read more

Went here with my mom, and overall I was very impressed. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and I definitely recommend this place for large groups. Pricing was very accommodating and I was very impressed with the range of options. The ONLY thing I would suggest is, if this is promoting dim sum, to have a few more options for guests. Other than that, this is a great place for people who are looking for a fresh new flavor. Also, the staff is kind, knowledgeable, and open to questions. Will be returning. read more

The service and ambiance here was excellent. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. The food for our taste was lacking flavor . We had Mongolian beef and pork dumplings. Both needed more seasoning - it was bland. The pricing is overpriced for what you are receiving. Happy we tried a new place. Maybe not the best night for the kitchen or just a palate difference. read more

Came here on a sunday evening. Getting a table was easy.We were greeted immediately upon entering. Our hostess was very warm friendly and upbeat. This is our first time here. I had imagined the space to have more tables than I did. There is plenty of room inside. Making the feel very comfortable. We started off with sticky rice dumplings.And soup dumplings. The soup dumplings, we found out later when we got our bill were on special.That was a pleasant surprise. We noticed a sign by the front door that shouted this out.However, the sign was hidden in the front corner.Perhaps if it were shouted out, more people would get this.... Or maybe i'm just oblivious. The sticky rice dumplings were new for me.This is the first time I had anything liked it.And I enjoyed it. I thought the taste was very good.I love the texture and the concept is new and welcome to me. The soup dumplings were okay.However, not amazing.I have found that I have set a high bar for this dish and though this one was not bad, it lacked tastiness in both the filling and broth. The wrap which is usually too thick was spot on for me.in this case. We also ordered a dry beef hot pot.Also a first formula. This arrived with fire. The the serving dish made it look appealing and kind of a fun dish to have on your table. The taste of this dish made it even better. The flavors spiciness, and how it was put together.I found very very appealing. On the night, this was our favorite dish. We also ordered a chocolate dumpling which unexpectedly exploded on me l o l. This seemed to be a chunk of candy in a dumpling wrapper warmed up. Cute concept tasted okay.However, I thought that the wrap was, maybea bit too thick. Overall, I feel the ambiance here this night.When it was not too busy made for a great experience. This place opens late and should be able to attract a good crowd.Since there's not much open in sac late at night.That serves good food. They also have a decent bar area and plenty of t vs to watch whatever media they may present on this night.It was football. As far as the vibe they're trying to present, I was a bit confused and didn't quite know what they were going for perhaps in the coming months, they are able to establish an identity.And where they want to go with this, there are definitely possibilities.And plenty of room for growth.But they're off to a good start. read more

The meat filling in the dumpling dishes were barely editable. My family did not like any of the dumpling-based dishes (potstickers, XLB). The onion pancake was decent. The server recommended eggplant with strong foreign (not familiar to me) curry-like flavor was decisive (kids did not like it but I did). read more

I haaate to write a bad review for a new business, but my friend and I went there this week and there were 3 hairs in our food. It was.... very revolting. The hairless food was good. I had a few dumplings before I had a hair. I hope this was a one-off experience and they can get situated. The restaurant itself was nice. Very open feel and they have 2 beers for $6. I'd go back and sit at the bar and drink some closed bottled beers sometime, but can't imagine I'll eat here again. Server was very apologetic and removed all items from the tab and we went to eat elsewhere. read more

Came here and order two lunch specials, a mushroom chicken with steamed rice and hot and sour soup and a eggplant with hot chili oil with fried rice and corn egg drop soup. I was partially done with the eggplant and fried rice then I found a hair in the eggplant. I called the location and talked to Coco and she said I can get a refund or get my food remade. I opted for the remaking of the food because I already paid for the food and I was hungry. When she handed me my remade food, she tells me the chefs added green beans to my eggplant which wasn't a big deal since I like green beans but it would've been nice if they made it how I ordered it. I didn't think they remade the food since it had way less sauce on it than originally, it looked like they put my food back on the wok and added an ingredient that wasn't there before. Was very disappointing, I really wanted to enjoy the food but I couldn't. read more

Came here on a Thanksgiving night for a really early dinner around 5. Since we've been driving all day, this place was a really nice welcome. We were so tired of burgers and pizza everyday and really wanted something warm and filling. We were seated promptly. Ordered quickly and food came out fast too. This is how it should be!
