We stopped by here after walking around the BBQ, Brews & Blues Festival. I had visited quite a while ago and remembered the dumplings being very good. This time, the dumplings were okay, but I remember them being better during my previous visit. I also recall them serving noodles, which were not available this time. I couldn't help but wonder if they are no longer making the dumplings from scratch, as several reviews suggest they may be using the Mila frozen dumplings available at Costco. I didn't confirm that myself, but it did make me curious. That being said, the dumplings were still decent and definitely hit the spot. The real draw of this place, however, is the outdoor venue they share with Abby's Hwy 40 Bar. It's a very inviting space to enjoy your food, relax, and watch some TV. The World Cup was on during our visit, which made for a fun atmosphere. I'd probably want to confirm whether the dumplings are made in-house before ordering them again, but the outdoor setting alone makes this a pleasant place to stop and spend some time. read more

There was a Burner Decompression event that was a lot of fun, with a lot of bars serving drinks, but where was the food? At the Dumpling Queen! Service was fast, and the food was good. It's a great match with any drink you could want, and the Airstream sits nicely in the back, allowing you to hang out while eating and drinking. read more

Every time I get dumplings here, they are good. Solid food and nice atmosphere. This spot is elite when the weather is nice.

While waiting for my spouse's late-night arrival at the airport, I decided to order dumplings and hang out in the patio area until it was time to go to the airport. The staff is SO friendly--both at the bar and food truck. Food was ready pretty quickly and was delicious. It was a beautiful evening, if a tad chilly, and everyone was so nice around the fire pits, where the coziest blankets rest on the wooden Adirondack chairs. My pup was with me, so of course, she made friends with everyone outside and got lots of pets from new friends. Highly recommend this spot for late-night drinks and eats. Oh, and there's parking behind the bar, to boot! read more

Dumpling Queen - Dog friendly patio! Even got some water and lots of pets. Highly recommend for late-night eats and drinks - Food Trucks Near Me - Reno, Nevada

We're visiting Reno and wanted some quick bite, so we stumbled on this place. There's parking in the back and it's affiliated with the bar, so parking allowed. We saw the choice of 5 for $7 or 10 for $13 xiao long bao dumplings and thought "that's a decent price point", hence we came. It's actually a food truck btw. They are straight up up-charging on frozen dumplings (Mila Dumplings) + bao buns you can buy from Costco. Insanity. Never again. read more

I think the business needs to mark their hours as flexible since I have been on two separate occasions during their listed as open hours and both times they were closed. A bit of a waste of time to go out of the way to try their food when they say they're open but in actuality are closed. read more

Really cute concept. It's located in a food truck nestled by hwy 40 bar and has a really nice patio setup. They have a projector, fire pits, and lots of seating. Menu items are pretty well priced and the food is alright. It's more of a quick bite. It reminds me of frozen dumplings that were reheated though. I'd go back just for the ambiance alone. Definitely a must try. read more

Dumplings and noodles from an Airstream trailer converted into a food truck? OH, YEAH!! What a concept...as of this writing, I've been by a few times and I plan to drop by on a regular basis whenever I'm in this area... Located in the "backyard" of the legendary Abby's Highway 40, one of the area's long standing "dive bars", this is quite the concept and a welcome addition to the local food scene. The ambiance is very welcoming...there's a couple of tall tables in front of the trailer that you can stand at to eat, as well as a raised long fire pit with comfortable wooden "beach style" wooden chairs around the pit and there's a few various short and tall tables scattered around the backyard. In cold weather, just take your food inside to enjoy the atmosphere and warmth of the bar. Getting your food is very simple...you walk up to the ordering window where menus are provided, place your order, then you pay and they hand you an electronic "beeper" that lets you know when to go to the pick-up window, where they have napkins and chopsticks available for your use (if you're not a chopsticks user, they also will supply you with a fork). Service has always been very prompt and the food comes out quickly...and always with a smile and a great attitude. Don't forget to check in on Yelp for a discount on your order. I've tried a wide variety of their food... Their Xiao Long Bao Dumplings are available with Classic Pork/Shrimp & Pork/Chicken (you can order quantities of 5 [$7] or 10 [$13]). They come with your choice of delicious dipping sauces: Black Vinegar & Ginger Chili Crisp Chinese Hot Mustard Soy Sauce (5 dumplings come with 1 sauce and 10 dumplings include 2 sauces...additional sauces are available for $.75 each) REAL soup dumplings...SO good! The sauces add that extra touch of flavor...and some extra spice if you like that (and I do)! Their Char Siu Bao Buns are available in Classic BBQ Pork/BBQ Mixed Veggie (you can order any quantities). Unctuous BBQ Pork with fluffy, light buns... Their noodle dishes are great, too! Dan Dan (Spicy Pork)...with spicy peanuts, ginger [$$12] Scallion Oil...with scallions, ginger [$11] Both versions of the noodles are prepared beautifully and taste great. The spicy peanuts are also available as a snack...they're delicious in the Dan Dan noodles and I imagine that they'd be great on their own. I haven't tried their ice cream yet...I plan to. They also have a couple of NA canned teas, as well as Asian beers/wine/sake available. I love this style of food, having eaten it all across North America in numerous Asian enclaves in many major cities. I have no idea if they come in frozen or if they're fresh made...but, it matters not either way...it's delicious food! Drop by to see what you think...enjoy! read more

If you want pre made, store bought dumplings, this place ain't half bad. But don't go in expecting the dumplings to be hand made. The taste wasn't bad, but they are up charging for dumplings you can buy frozen and make at home. The outdoor seating is nice, sharing the parking lot with a bar. If you want a fun place to hang out, just don't go for the food. There is better soup dumpling places in Reno to try. read more

Holy moly, these dumplings are incredible. It's only right their name is Dumpling Queen! They also have noodles & more! So this little food truck is set in place & shares the fun ambience with "Abby's Hwy 40" dive bar. Just an FYI. Which I think is super awesome. Plenty of outdoor seating! & a long fireplace! So come get a beer and dumpling and enjoy next to the fire pit(: I'll probably go again this weekend lol that's how much I love their dumplings.(: Sorry, I forgot to take a pic of the menu! +food +patio read more

Ummm... I'm actually very confused by the reviews. We came here for a Don't Tell Comedy show, the show was great, I would come back just for that. But I wouldn't buy the food again. I'm sorry but the dumpling were actually pretty bad, there was just something off with the texture and taste and how watery they were. I have had grocery bought dumplings that were infinitely better than these. I did not try the drinks so I cannot speak to that, but it looks like you have to order them at the bar at the Abby's. read more

Really fantastic dumplings hidden behind a dive bar. We went on a Friday and it was empty so service was fast. Nice seating area outside to enjoy hour dumplings with a drink. read more

Wow! Such a great find while watching live music at The Abby Highway 40. The menu had many options and we tried the pork dumplings and the pork and shrimp dumpling. Try the dumplings with the chili crisp sauce (if you like a lil heat). We also had the bbq pork bao buns and the Dan Dan noodles. Everything was delicious. The staff are friendly and the food came out fairly quickly. It's a cute lil food 'camper' that was putting out great food to many people throughout the night. I wish they had a store front location in south Reno. I'd be there a lot. If you're downtown definitely check it out. You won't be disappointed. read more

Cool little spot outside next to the bar. Kinda hard to find cause the trailer is facing the back patio. I was there late so maybe it's easier during the day. I got the classic pork dumplings and it was nice waiting in their patio area by the fire. The dumplings were good I just felt like they weren't homemade. Seemed like they came from a package and were more or less steamed on site. Taste was good just didn't exactly do it for me. Although I'm probably totally wrong because they have other flavors and options available. read more

Dumpling Queen - 10 Count Dumplings - Food Trucks Near Me - Reno, Nevada

We ordered all three flavors (pork, chicken, shrimp&pork dumplings) and not sure which one was which but they were all good. They were out of the ginger sauce and wish I would've had it with my dumplings. I had it with the chili crunch and was still pretty good. We waited around 15 mins or so and wish our dumplings come out warmer. (I blame it on the outdoor summer breeze). The outdoor courtyard was pretty empty when we go there (it was perfect actually) and I loved the ambiance of the fire pits and various seating areas, music and the bar next door. Can't wait to try the bao buns next since they were sold out when we got there around 9pm on a Sunday. Note to self: get there earlier next time! Suggestion: perhaps write dumpling flavors on container especially when multiple options are ordered? Thank you read more

Dumpling Queen - Veg bao - Food Trucks Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I found this dumpling place on Instagram and is so excited to try them out! We parked in the back and there's an open gate you can come in through. It goes straight to the dumpling food truck. We ordered the set of 10 pork and 10 shrimp&pork dumplings with all 4 different types of sauces (Black Vinegar & Ginger, Chili Crisp, Hot Mustard Aioli, and Soy Sauce). The pork soup dumplings are very flavorful, but I do wish there was more soup in each dumpling! The shrimp&pork dumplings were very good too! The dumplings did not break so there was more soup inside. When you first bite into it, the warm soup burst in your mouth with the flavors! The staff told us it was a 15 minute wait for everything. However, one of their steamers broke while it was cooking one of our orders and the guy offered us 5 extra dumplings because of the wait. This is amazing service! The aesthetics of the outside area gives a warm and welcoming feel with the extra large TV, pergolas, and fire pit seating. The areas around the fire pit was dirty from previous people spilling their sauces/food/drinks. I hate the cold, but sitting outside next to the fire pit was warm. I definitely will come back here! read more

I love their (2) BBQ Pork Buns! I wish we would have also gotten dumplings this time, because the Spicy Pork Noodles (Dan Dan Mian) are SPICY SPICY!!! I usually can handle some spice, but I had a hard time with this dish. My friend happily finished them. Be prepared to wait a little while, but know they're working hard in the cute food trailer. And the vibes are always fun during your wait! It was a blast to hang out with friends by a fire on a Friday evening. Definitely a gem tucked away on Fourth Street! read more

Dumpling Queen - Bao (2) BBQ Pork Buns and Spicy Pork Noodles (Dan Dan Mian) - Food Trucks Near Me - Reno, Nevada

So.. this was a great find on a spontaneous night out. It's a food truck located downtown off of 4th St. In front of the food truck are a few pergolas with beautiful lights and heaters. There is also a long fire pit with chairs to sit in and even blankets to use if you need them. This food truck offered alcohol and other beverages, ice cream and of course steamed dumplings. We ordered the pork & shrimp dumplings with soy sauce and black vinegar w ginger. We weren't really a fan of the vinegar ginger sauce but the soy sauce worked just fine. *** Warning! If you just pour the sauce over the dumplings, the tray does not hold the sauce & the sauce will leak from the bottom. It spilled a little over my jeans but thankfully I had a napkin under to catch most of the sauce. The dumplings are cooked to order but for some reason ours were a little cold.. and we waited about half an hour for them. Other than that, they were pretty good with the basic filling and not too much going on, which in my opinion: simple is better. read more

The outdoor seating is nice. I was worried it'd be cold but they had a nice fire going which kept us warm. The dumplings were yummy. I first ordered 10 of the pork and shrimp and I really liked it. They steam them right outside so it can take a bit to come out. I wish they would give us spoons so that we wouldn't lose too much of the soup in the dumplings. The chopsticks were good at picking up the dumplings and not coming completely undone though. Skin wasn't too thick or thin. 10 for $13 wasn't too bad of a deal. I then ordered another 10 of the pork and shrimp along with 5 of the classic pork to go in order to have some leftovers. The classic pork was definitely better. It had good flavor. I'd go back just for the pork ones. I didn't try the chicken one and it says a vegetarian option was coming. There are not many places really to get steaming hot soup dumings and this will satisfy that craving. I will be back for sure. read more

Dumpling Queen - Pork 10 Count Dumplings - Food Trucks Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Came here with some friends hoping to enjoy some dumplings and hang out. It was mid December, and we had a good bit of snow coming down. At the time that we went, there weren't many covered spots available but that was a okay. I wasn't disappointed! Ordered a boatload of them, along with all the requisite dipping sauces. They have a shockingly robust beer selection which I was happy to see! Food came out decently quickly, but I noticed something while I was waiting which was what caused me to deduct the starts that I did. As we were waiting for our food, we saw folks bringing in dumplings. Not in nondescript bags, or in trays as you might expect. But brightly colored, mint green and blue resealable bags. They appear to be using prepackaged, frozen dumplings. I had wondered how they got such uniform shaped dumplings in a variety of flavors, and when I saw someone carrying a bag of MìLà brand dumplings into the back of the airstream trailer. Given the price they're charging, I'm not willing to support them in the future. So, if you'd like the same flavors at home you can make them yours at a rate of $40/50 dumplings and a steam basket. The beer was enjoyable, and the chili crisp was nice (Lee Kum Kee brand, if you're wondering), and I still had a nice time. read more

Finding them was not easy but trust the GPS. Haha. It took us to a dim parking lot with no signs whatsoever. But once parked, we saw a bright, well lit patio with music pumpin' in the background. We knew we where in the right place. Their set up is pretty neat. The food truck is right beside a bar - Abby 40, and shares the backyard with them. There is plenty of space to eat, sit and drink, 2 massive firepits and a huge TV screen. Perfect place to hang out! I was eager to try their soup dumplings. I ordered the shrimp and pork dumplings 10pcs/$13. The dumplings were delicious and the broth was perfect. We also tried the DanDan Noodle with spicy ground pork. The dish has a savory, nutty flavor with a kick to it. The only thing I did not like with this particular dish was how greasy it was. Lastly, I had to try the Bao Bun. Honestly, a bit disappointed. The meat was so good and flavorful but there was just a teeny tiny amount stuffed in the bun. Overall, glad to find this place. Definitely coming back for those dumplings and maybe get some drinks at the bar next time! read more

Dumpling Queen - pork and shrimp soup dumplings - Food Trucks Near Me - Reno, Nevada

We love soup dumplings so when we heard there was a place in town serving them, you know we had to try! Dumpling queen's food truck is located behind Abby's Hwy 40 Bar. The patio area is setup nicely with a fireplace, a huge screen tv and tons of tables and chairs to sit and eat. The lady that took our order was very helpful, she even gave us recommendations. To drink, we ordered the snow maiden sake and the Kyoto white yuzu ale. Both were refreshing! To eat, we had 10 shrimp & pork and 10 chicken xiao long bao dumplings - 10 dumplings for $13 and an order of the scallion oil noodles $11. The food took awhile to come out and the dumplings didn't taste freshly made. Although the broth was good, it didn't hit the spot. The noodles were overcooked but I did like the flavor. Overall, I would give it another try but it wouldn't be my first choice. read more

I really hate posting reviews like this, but it is very hard to recommend a place that serves the same dumplings that are in my freezer.. Up-charging for frozen dumplings you can buy at Costco is a wild move to me. The entire restaurant is based on selling frozen, bagged food. Don't get me wrong, the dumplings from the brand they buy are alright, but by no means are they restaurant quality or of homemade quality at all. The sauces and the noodle dishes are also from the same brand as well. If you are going to call yourself "Dumpling Queen" and then sell frozen, pre made dumplings, I feel like it is a little insulting to the genuine handmade, hand folded dumplings being served around town. It feels a little insensitive and definitely preys on the people who don't know any better about real, quality xiaolongbao that would then think this is the standard. I wouldn't be trippin on this place if they were just honest and upfront about what they are doing. Nowhere on their website does it say they are affiliated or serving Mila dumplings. I respect the hustle, but this is no different from me buying Hot Pockets and opening up a calzone spot called Calzone King. read more

Watched them carry in bags of Mila frozen dumplings. Can believe Eater put out a recommendation on this page. At least they do steam them instead of microwaving them read more

Dumpling Queen is a neat setup. The food operation is done out of an Airstream trailer in an epic outdoor patio area. Despite the small cooking area the food was delivered quick and hot. While the dumplings and buns were delicious I can't shake the feeling the dumplings were a pre-frozen option like Mila. Not a knock, they are good, but handmade dumplings would be a different level. The patio area nestled between too bars (and Lead Dog across the street) makes this a one stop shop for an evening night. Have some drinks, park next to the large firepit or even watch some TV then sober up with some dumplings. Date night achieved. read more

What a gem! The food was delicious, the setup was cool and relaxing and the affiliated super cool bar (same owner) makes this an absolute must go to spot.

The places that execute a small menu well are my favorite, so I suppose Dumpling Queen is one of my favorites. Getting the 10 dumplings is a must if you are eating here as an actual meal. If you just need a late-night nom, then the 7 is probably enough to satisfy. Recently they added some BBQ Bao and hot damn I hope that becomes a regular menu item as I will order it every time. They were so fluffy and the BBQ pork inside was top drawer! Dumpling Queen has made Abby's one of my favorite bar destinations. read more

So I wanted a good dumpling and I will say this I was very very disappointed by these. If you want the same I would recommend you go to Costco or Sam's clubs and get a bag these aren't handmade at all but store-bought. read more

I like what they're doing here at Dumpling Queen. The stationary food truck compliments the outside seating area of the bar next door. It has a large shared outdoor space with a huge gas fire pit along and plenty of chairs with a big projection screen hanging from the wall to watch movies. Not sure if that's for every night or certain nights. Now for me, I've been to Taiwan and tried traditional and also street dumplings and they are stellar! So I have to compare. Dumpling Queen dumplings were okay. They weren't bad but wasn't impressed. I'm used to eating XLB soup dumplings with a soup spoon and unfortunately these weren't soupy and even eating them with a chopstick and having the dumpling skin break, there wasn't any soup spilling out. Good flavor but wished it was a little more juicier. I have to give a 3.5 star for the food. The young guy serving me the food was pretty awesome! As he was steaming up the food he shared life stories with me and even drew little characters on the food plates to give it characteristics. I thought that was pretty cool. Overall, I had a great experience for my first time. I'd recommend this spot if you have a few friends and you want to grab a beer and some quick bites. It's a comfortable place to hang out for bit.
