This restaurant recently replaced Pho restaurant that was there for many years. As far as the ambiance, the welcome was lukewarm at best. I was seated quickly along with a glass of water and a practically tossed menu placed immediately on my table. I witnessed other groups who just sat down before I did, still waiting for service. After waiting more than 15-minutes to be acknowledged, I decided to place my order to-go. I ordered the Peking Duck Buns (3) & a Mango Passion Fruit Jasmine Green Tea, which was not full at all (see pic). In all, customer service leaves much to be desire. read more

Very casual fast foody place that order from an app and have single use utensils The xlb was pretty legit. The pan fried dumplings 生煎包was ok as the dough was too thick. Also got the 辣子鸡 (chicken thigh fried hard with dried chilis), it was good and not too spicy. The garlic string beans 四季豆was ok as not tasting too much garlic flavor. Loved the boba teas and I think the service was pretty attentive too. But think the food is overhyped read more

I came here for dinner at like 7pm on a Friday, and it was packed. We had to wait about 15-20 min so while we did, we put our drink orders in. We tried the Oreo smoothie (tastes just like Oreos), mango smoothie, taro milk tea with tapioca (could be sweeter), and coconut smoothie (mild with tad bit of coconut flavor). The szechaun fried chicken was pretty good with a real Szechuan flavor. Dumplings were decent, better than when I had it on opening night. read more

This is a sit down restaurant in a small shopping plaza. I was greeted promptly upon walking in. It was a nice day weatherwise so outdoor seating was optimal! The food was amazing. The cucumber salad & vegetable spring rolls were great. This was my 1st time trying steamed beef dumplings & they were amazing!! After eating the appetizers, I honestly wanted to try 1 of everything on the menu. Instead I narrowed it down to the Shanghai Fried Noodles w/shrimp. It was A-MAZING! My boyfriend had the Szechuan Spicy Chicken. It was nothing short of spectacular! Be careful because the spice comes in slow! Our server Sheng was super nice & helpful with the menu. I will definitely go back if I visit the area again. read more

The water was almost cold. If you are looking for authentic Chinese dumplings, go to Buford Hwy or Duluth. The food here is meh at best. Service meh as well. read more

Okay this place has amazing food. The cucumber salad was marinated deliciously, savory with a hint of sweet. The beef friend noodles were a smash. The dumplings.. oh the dumplings. The bao bun ones were 10/10. The pan fried not far behind. Also get the green beans. Everything is reasonably priced and staff is attentive and kind. Definitely will be back. read more

Went back for a second time: was not as good. The dumplings/ wontons did not seem as fresh. Wonton skins were not soft, and they were falling apart/ breaking apart not in a good way. Dumpling and xiao long bao filling and skins didn't seem very fresh either. Food and service was fast, it was edible and at least a quick meal, but not sure if we will return. read more

We came in as a party of six, middle of the day Sunday, and we were immediately sat and the food we ordered came quick! The food was fantastic which is why we brought our friends here. Food of note: soup dumplings were amazing! Garlic bok choy and Mapo tofu were divine! Bao buns were good and the spicy beef soup was spot on! Ambiance was fine, standard modern, plenty of parking out front. read more

Been super excited to try ever since they put up the coming soon sign. Fortunately, work is walking distance from this location. We went during the soft open and it was a great first experience. It was tough at first bc they were pretty busy and it's not the largest place. But we were able to get a table quick. It was clean in there and busy, you can even watch the employees prep the dumplings. We ordered the Szechuan Chicken story fry, pork dumplings, green beans, and pork bun. The food is delivered by their wonderful robotic server. I wonder if they named it yet. It seems to get paid pretty well bc it delivered our food quick. Lol. Everything was very delicious! I absolutely loved the dumplings. Thought they were the best I had in awhile. The bun was soft and tasteful! And the Szechuan chicken was fire. Super flavorful and had a nice spice to it. Since it was the soft opening they provided free drinks. Tried the milk tea, it wasn't the best but I think they're working on that. Overall, I definitely plan on going back. Side note: I think my dog liked the chicken stir fry too. He ate my leftovers. read more

Got takeout on a weeknight. It was quite busy in the restaurant and very hot so we opted for takeout instead. Got the pork and cabbage dumplings, Shanghai pan fried noodles and the Szechuan chili chicken. We also got a hot and sour soup. The hot and sour soup wasn't the best. Very sour and not spicy. It was also $8 for a small container. The noodles were also quite dry and didn't have much flavor. The chicken was pretty good though! It was spicy and flavorful. The dumplings were also pretty good! They were juicy but the skin was on the thicker side. We also got two boba drinks from their soft opening special but they gave me the wrong drink. Overall, not a bad place for a quick bite but definitely on the pricier side for the quality. read more

I had discovered this place on my way to another restaurant last week. I'm not gonna lie,they had me at the words fried noodles. The first thing i liked ,was the convenience of ordering from your table using their app. I unfortunately couldn't do this as I was out of Data. However I approached the counter and my order was taken so it was no biggie. So I chose the Shanghai pan fried noodle with beef and pork and chive dumplings steamed The noodles I'm gonna say were hit and miss. The appearance of them looked great. The taste was OK. To me it was like someone took some prepackaged Ramen tosted them in some sauce green onions,seasoning and bochoi. The noodles could have been a little more crispy since they were pan fried. However thats a personal preference based on my past of a simular dish where the noodles were crispier. However that may not have been the concept they were going for,with this dish.The eggs was over cooked almost to a burt consistency. Now you would think with all this negativity, I didn't like it. However far from the truth. Because it was like this ,to me it gave a feeling of authenticity . The dumpling were great as well. However they did have a strange smell to them. Not to the point that I wouldnt gladly order them again though. The taste was quite pleasant though. I also found them to be a nice size as well. They do have a nice selection of fancy teas. I chose water. Would have been nice to have had some unsweetened tea. But maybe doing so might take away from the authenticity of the place. I may return to try some of their other dishes. read more

I'm surprised by the low rating of Dumpling Master given our experience. We went for dinner on a Monday evening and got one of the last tables available. You order using a QR code and water was brought promptly. The beef Shanghai noodles were really good! Large enough to share and was super flavorful. We also ordered some fried chicken dumplings that were huge! Two of us ate for less than $30 which is a steal given rising prices. I think it's worth checking out! read more

Dumpling Master - Beef Shanghai Fried Noodles - Chinese Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

I came in and ordered to go during lunchtime, but it wasn't too busy. They had nice music playing and it's well lit. I was greeted and ordered pork soup dumplings, garlic green beans & a brown sugar boba. They were out of tapioca pearls and suggested I try the crystal pearls, and she charged me for them. Not terrible, I just feel they could've worked with me on that. The food is def made to order and I waited for about 15 minutes. They out my bag on a to go shelf instead of handing it to me, so I didn't know it was ready. Food wise though, it's really good. The green beans are flavorful and crunchy & they came with rice. I took a star for the reasons mentioned, but I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area. read more

Best soup dumplings in the city! Pro tip: add dumpling sauce and hot chili oil *chefs kiss. They are made fresh daily right in front for everyone to admire their artistry.

Great service and tasty food. Nice interior, though I chose to take my food to go. Great location though getting into Clairmont rd can be tricky. I ordered the shrimp dumplings and an order of veggie dumplings. Both were tasty with a nice dipping sauce. read more

Been coming here for months now, but this time we were served what looked like manufactured soup dumplings. The folds in the wrappers were identical, and were doughy. We were very disappointed to see manufactured dumplings. I hope this was an isolated case. read more

Dumpling Master is a solid place if you want some American Chinese food. The portion is good and service was quick. We ordered a bit of everything and like them! My only critique is that the food is slightly greasy. read more

While eating a Pork Bao from the Decatur Dumpling Master location, I bit into a ¾-inch piece of metal and badly chipped a tooth. The metal was hard and sharp. If I had swallowed it, it could have caused serious internal injury to my esophagus or stomach. The metal appears consistent with a fragment from a meat grinder. The on-site manager was apologetic and agreed to pay my dental bill. However, despite my repeated requests to hear from an owner about what steps were being taken to ensure this doesn't happen again, no owner ever contacted me. All Dumpling Master locations in the Atlanta area are operated under the same local ownership group. I am posting this review so customers can make an informed decision before eating at a Dumpling Master. Hard, sharp metal in food is a serious safety failure. read more

My friend described it really well - This place serves buns and it does it so well, I'd even describe it exactly as that. Buns. That's it.

Great! Food came out fast. Tried all of the different type of dumplings, the chicken wings, beef noodle soup, and stir fry chicken noodles. Everything was really delicious! This place definitely exceeded my expectations and is a great addition to the Emory area!!! read more

This place rocks. Yummy dumplings: chicken soup, pan fried chicken, pan fried shrimp & pork, har gow, spring rolls, stir fried beans. So good. Service was great-super friendly and we had kids with us!!! So clean. Oh and 5yr old thought bathroom was super clean :) not sure why yelp rating isn't higher. read more

Dumpling Master is a perfectly fine spot for soup dumpling junkies like me. There are only two choices here (pork or pork & shrimp), which is much more limited than the menu at Northern China Eatery -- but the taste & quality is great, the service is a bit different than the usual restaurant -- you scan the menu and order from yoir phone, as many courses as you wish. Seating is limited and always a wait. But the to-go counter for pick up and door dash type deliveries stayed busy as well. read more

Disaster. They refused service to my whole family because of my licensed and trained service dog. Management said they don't know if anyone was allergic so they could not serve us. I explained the law and that there is no reason to deny us service and besides my dog is hypoallergenic anyways. She still refused Don't go here read more

* Soft Opening * 30July2025 We were greeted with a smile ... had appetizers & enjoyed our FREE full size non-alcoholic drinks 1 per person. The Chinese wings, edamame, veggie spring rolls & MY Mango Passion Fruit Jasmine Green Tea with Mango Popping Boba was served timely & tasty. The wait time was short as we watched fresh dumplings being skillfully hand made. I must NOT forget the "Robot Server" was buzzing thru to tables with orders from the kitchen. read more

Great experience! Server helped with advice since it was our first time. Loved her ideas. Chicken fried rice was great and shrimp noodle was, too! read more

I went for the 1st time today for my niece birthday and we really enjoyed ourselves. The food was delicious and hot when it came to the table. We really enjoyed trying each other's food. The drink was awesome! The people was very welcoming and the atmosphere was great. Thanks Dumpling Masters! read more

Food was very good. Service was great. Ambitious was good. Prices good. Should offer veteran discount.

First, the space is great. Location is great. Plenty of parking. You grab a table and sit. Order on your phone. They have pretty paper menus, too. But order on your phone. We got soup dumplings, scallion pancake, and wonton soup. Food arrived pretty quickly. Decent presentation. Condiments are on the table. The food. Hmmm. Well, it wasn't bad. Just had very little flavors. Bland. Boring. Blah. Yawn. read more

Excellent dumplings and spring rolls! We got some to go for a small dinner party and everyone loved them. We will go back for more for sure!

This restaurant just opened in my area. I have to say the dumplings didn't compare to the restaurant I went to on Buford highway that is michelin star rated and makes soup dumplings. We had both pork and chicken soup dumplings. The pork had very little flavor and just seemed to be mostly ground pork and no savory aspect. The chicken dumplings had more umami flavor. The dumplings themselves were just okay for me having had handmade dumplings from another restaurant they didn't compare. I also had the szechuan chicken with seemed battered and hard and had only tiny strings of onions and barely any of those. It was overcooked and chewy and I wouldn't order it again. Two in our group had ramen and one was spicy and he seemed to enjoy it and the other was not and she seemed to be just okay with it and one of us had fried rice with shrimp and it looked really good and he seemed to enjoy it but when I asked if they would return they just looked at me and said maybe. I guess it felt like a franchise to me and as in if your name has lobster in it you should be awesome at cooking and serving lobster I feel like if your name has dumpling and master in it your dumplings should absolutely be above the rest. They aren't though. I was so looking forward to this restaurant opening in Snellville and I hope they work on their menu offerings and do better because having just opened here I was expecting it to be optimal and I was disappointed. The front staff were doing an awesome job waiting on people and serving them and our food came out timely as well so that was good. I would get rid of the robot serving piping hot soup as I saw some customers getting their piping hot ramen soup off the robot without help from staff and that could cause an absolute disaster. read more

Dumpling Master - Pork Soup Dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

We didn't taste the food. We arrived and one gentleman was before us on the waitlist. After 10 minutes a couple with two children showed up. We mentioned there was a wait list, he said he hoped they were on it because they checked on saw there weren't tables 'a long time before' so thought they would come back. I asked the server why they were seated before the next in line ( a gentleman and his son), and she began arguing with me, loudly, making up reasons why they seated the group of four and shouting because they stopped by 30 minutes ago they should be seated, although they weren't on a wait list. Additionally, while standing in the restaurant, the rest of us were outside because the new space is extremely tight, one of the people ordered a drink while waiting so they got the table. We were told we couldn't order anything until a table was available. The attitude put us off so we left. We won't go back to this location or any other of this chain. Working in hospitality, we have no patience for this type of service. Sure, newly opened restaurants always have kinks to work out but bad service shouldn't be one of those kinks. I'm posting because too often people just leave or never return. Restaurants should know why. I will also be contacting the restaurant directly. Btw, I'm easy to get along with and she said the gentleman and his sone were 1st on the waitlist and we were second. read more

Gross is all I can say!! You enter the restaurant greeted by a stink odor!! Hard to describe but it is terrible! Ordered chicken fried dumplings which were cold ! We ordered hot and sour soup and wonton soup! Server finally brought the bowl of lukewarm wonton soup when we had almost finished the cold dumplings!! I took one bite and pushed the bowl of slop away!! You will be better off getting prepared dumplings and wonton soup already prepared at the grocery store! This joint will not last!! read more

the food was so oversaturated and oily. it came out quickly but I can see why. I'm so disappointed

Food was amazing! Went with some friends and we all shared a bunch of different dishes. All of it was excellent.

Very nice service and our food came out timely. We had orange chicken, pork & chive dumplings, shrimp shu mai, & edamame. Orange chicken was good but too much breading; I had several bites and was not sure chicken was in there. Dumplings and shu mai were barely average. Disappointed. read more
