Great ambiance and service. The food is solid and enjoyable but nothing super special and a bit expensive. I got the Pork Onion buns and Braised Beef Lamen Soup, they had standard and comforting flavors but are a bit overpriced. read more

This spot is similar to dough zone and has every kind of dumplings you can think of!! They offer so much variety for their filling! I got the vegan pan fried dumpling, bokchoy dumpling, chicken and corn dumpling (my fav), jajang beef pancake roll, pork bun, shiitake bun and chili the garlic tofu lamen! Everything was superb! My favorite dumpling had to be the vegan dumpling and chicken and corn! Very generous with the filling though the skin was slightly on the thicker side. And that noodle dish, man! It was so thick and creamy and umami! 10/10 would get this every time! Great service and will be visiting here again! read more

Dumpling The Noodle - Noodles Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A decent spot for Chinese food in Wallingford. My favorite item here is the pork and onion buns. The filling is great and the bun has such a nice sear to it. I also ordered the chili the beef lamian. The beef in the noodle was good and kind of reminded me of my parents cooking and the noodles had good texture. However the sauce felt excessive and the sauce to noodle ratio was on the much higher side, so it felt over saturated. I don't remember the sauce being this heavy last time I ordered take out here several years back. But otherwise, this is a solid spot. The servers were kind and attentive and the atmosphere was cozy but not too small. read more

Food was super good, we had the beef option for the Seattle restaurant week menu & the (I think they were) lamen soup noodles were definitely the best thing we had. Ambiance is nice, service was honestly kind of mediocre but they were busy so it happens. read more

A very clean and modern atmosphere for pan fried buns, dumplings, scallion pancake rolls, and noodles. Was pleasantly surprised at how clean and modern this restaurant was. Food was tasty, especially the JaJong Beef Pancake Roll. The pan fried buns were flavorful and the two types of lamen and pork napa dumplings were good as well! The scallion pancake was the only disappointment..they were really dry and underwhelming. Hopefully it was just an off day or bad batch. Will definitely be back to try other items when in the area. read more

I was impressed with the first couple dishes that I tried here. I ordered some spicy dumplings and the beef chili lamen. The dumplings were rich and delicious. Everything was served at the perfect temperature which was great. I was enjoying the food until I tried the beef in the lamen dish. It was EXTREMELY TOUGH to the point where I could not eat it. I'm not sure if it was undercooked or just bad quality meat but it was terrible! I was disappointed because everything else in the dish was very good including the noodles, sauce, and flavors. I would have given this place a 4 or maybe even 5 star review if the meat was served better. read more

Dumpling The Noodle - Beef Chili Lamen. Great flavor but very tough and chewy beef. - Noodles Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Ordered Takeout on Yelp Food: -Shiitake Vegan Buns ($9.75, 4 pieces) - Not large, more dumpling sized, but well made and tasty dipped in the sauces -Beef Pancake Roll ($9.75) - Not large, more veggies than I expected, and the beef was VERY lean (great if you like it that way but I do prefer more fatty meat). Was pretty mildly flavored (recommend adding Hoisin if you have it at home) but loved how it wasn't greasy as beef pancake rolls can sometimes be -Braised Beef Lamen ($11.95) - My friend ordered this, she said the noodles were delicious but the beef was not as soft as usual. The sauce is delightfully spicy and flavorful and I loved the amount of dark green Chinese Spinach as well. Everything was packaged super well! Overall solid spot for my favorite Asian snacks and love that they have vegan options :) read more

Parked out bikes right outside, plenty of seating. Menu has a nice variety of drinks, appetizers including rolls, wontons and dumplings. We got the chili beef lamen, beef pancake roll, pork shrimp spicy wontons and Sichuan green beans. Pork shrimp wontons - awesome texture with clearly handmade wontons. Sichuan spice is great for flavor and not just numbing. Really love the seasoning for the protein. Sichuan green beans - wish there was an option for garlic and Sichuan and not either/or. Nicely cooked with blistering Chili beef lamen - chewy yummy noodles and well sauced. Beef pancake roll - delicious. My favorite dish this meal with flakey pancake and nice sauce. Only wish they'd chop up the cilantro so the whole stem doesn't come out sometimes with a bite Would come back again! read more

Pros: authentic dumplings and noodles, fairly priced, friendly staff, plenty seating, cool decor, very convenient location and easy street parking Cons: small portion, limited selection, lack of variety read more

I love this place. The waiter was so kind. Its really nice here. The food tasted great as well. The inside is very nice too.

Beware... I saw this on TikTok and it was NOT anything like din tai fung or dough zone. I saw pictures and videos of this place and read review. It's so fake please beware. SMELL... the smell in here is overwhelming it's musty and gross. Smells like an old person home. The food.... Tastes like frozen from Trader Joe's at best. Some of it is even worse. Maybe the smell wasn't helping but yikes. The meat was in this tight little ball and slide out of a slimey casing. I ordered the most popular stuff, I was not getting too out there. I agree with some of the other reviews that it tasted old and frozen. I'm shocked by the owners claims of it being made fresh daily. It just cannot be the case with some of what I ordered. The service was not great either. Do yourself a favor and AVOID this. I am not one to rank a small business poorly but I feel customers should know about the issues with this place. This is coming from someone who loves both DTF and dough zone. read more

We came here around 8pm on a Sunday and there was no wait to be seated! The items we ordered: 1. pork shrimp wontons in chili oil - could order again, wonton wrapper was tougher to chew 2. braised beef lamen - enjoyed this dish - thought the beef and vegetables were good and broth was tasty 3. beef bulgogi dumplings - wrappers again were tough 4. beef onion dumplings - wrappers again were tough When you're seated, you're given menus and a ticket to order items off so it's pretty efficient and you can see your pricing as is. Things came out one by one - we shared everything so it wasn't an issue. My word of advice is if you're hesitant about coming here but still low key want to try it, order one or two dishes to see if you like it before doubling down and over ordering because your eyes are bigger than your stomach! The interior design was cute and they had nice utensils and serving dishes. I would say overall, you can find some places better in the area but if you have a craving - this could help hit the spot. read more

Is this what Chinese food taste like?! Sooo good! We're visiting from Florida and all we have there is Chinese takeout. So the Chili the beef Lamen was sooo good!! Thick, wide noodles with a little chew/doughiness. It wasn't too spicy... just a hint to notice it which was perfect for me. It had a little nutty/peanut butter taste to the juice in it. The dumpling and buns had great flavor! The beef rice noodles were too soft and didn't have the same flavor as the Leman. It was good but I definitely prefer the Lamen over the rice noodles We will definitely come back to this place next time we're in Washington read more

My friends and I visited the store on Saturday around 2pm and the restaurant was still quite busy even past lunch time. The restaurant doesn't have a big menu but it gives enough variety We ordered a lot appetizers to share, seasoned fried chicken, Bulgogi Dumpling, Tofu Pancake Roll, Beef Pancake Roll and spicy beef dry noodle. One of the fried chicken piece was not fully cooked and it was still raw. Friendly reminder to every customer- if you get a big piece, please make sure it's fully cooked before you start eating. I let the waitress know and she apologized and refunded us. Despite the undercooked chicken accident, everything else was great. The bulgogi dumplings were juicy and delicious, and the beef pancake roll was crispy! Reasonable price and all the food surprisingly filled all of us up! read more

Dumpling The Noodle - Dumplings galore - Noodles Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We went in at 2.30 pm on Sunday for a late lunch and find the ambiance very comfortable. We order beef rice noodles , pork & chive dumplings , spicy green beans which is superb. The peking duck is abit of a disappointment, NOT THE TASTE , it is tasty but many pieces of meat and crispy skin is not cut thru. I can dangle it on a string like yo yo. The pan cake is also stick solid together that we have to peel it piece by piece . Your nice Filipino server took it to show the kitchen staff to slice properly but came back with some still stick together. We don't go there to work our hand and disrupt our lunch. Seriously need to look into it. Thankyou for reading . Win read more

Dumpling The Noodle - Signature Pork Onion Bun and Pork Shrimp Wonton with Spicy Sauce - Noodles Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great food, good service, reasonable prices. Garlic string beans are amazing and sweet chili chicken is very good.

Great atmosphere, comfortable seating and spacious tables. The mix drink were phenomenal, really freshening and tasty. The noodles, buns, wontons were good, but nothing out of the ordinary. Good quality and the portions seem smaller. Service was ok. Overall a good place to try if you are near by but not necessarily something you will go out of your way to try. read more

Dumping the Noodle is a great spot for delicious casual dining for people with various dietary preferences. Upon arriving my boyfriend and I were promptly seated, and provided with both the menu and a sheet to mark what we wanted to order. The staff, although kind were not very attentive as far as taking our order or checking to see if we had any questions or how we liked our food. Each time we wanted to order something we had to try to find someone to help. To my delight, there were so many vegan options to choose from. We ordered a few options to share. Each dish had lots of flavor and tasted fresh. One highlight I also did greatly appreciate was the abundance of vegetables that they use in each dish, which you don't typically get at other places. Overall I would highly recommend checking this restaurant out. I will definitely be returning in the future to try even more of their dishes. read more

Yassss finally a dumpling specialty restaurant in the UD! I was so excited to see this place show up recently on my UE app. I ordered 3/4 vegetarian favorites this time and will have to go back for the green deep fried wontons next time! My order showed up when promised and was better than I hoped for. I ate half the order that night and am still finishing up leftovers now. I loved the chili oil they included with the dumplings - it is good on all of their food! Looking forward to ordering from them again in the future - I'm so glad they are here and I hope they stay a long time! read more

This is an optimistic 5 Stars. I've sampled only a limited set of dishes, but so far very good! I was there at 4:45-ish, and the food was ready in 20 minutes. Just like the name, they have dumplings, noodles, as well as buns and appetizers. What I am truly impressed with is their selection of vegetarian and vegan options. Their competitors are shockingly light with these options, and they are chock full of it. Love! The Food: - Chili the Beef Lamen - This is a "dry" (not soup) style. Their lamen, which means pull noodle, is much, much thicker than I anticipated. If I was eating this while seated in the restaurant, I will very likely find this to be too thick, too starchy, and too firm (al dente) than I would like. However, as a take-out, with re-heating (stove top in pan, slow cook, regular stirring), the congealed noodles softened and have extra time to infuse the sauce, the chili oil, and it turned out really, really well. Yum! - Garlic Tofu Lamen Soup - Same comment as above abut the noodles; the extra cooking helped. This is a vegan option with tofu and mushroom broth. That mushroom soup is very tasty. If you want to turn this into two meals, it can be easily done with the generous broth they provided. Just add more noodles, more veggies, and maybe some proteins. - Sweet and Sour Cucumbers - This is marinated in rice vinegar, garlic, and likely a bit of sugar because there's not much sour to it. I drizzled on the chili oil that they provided. Again, this is very tasty. I am looking forward to trying more from their menu! read more

We used to love this place. Eating their spicy and sour beef lamen was like being transported to another time and place. So incredibly good! Their dumplings were interesting, not legit. But still fun to order and eat. Then something happened a year or so ago and their soup base completely changed. Now it tastes like Americanized beef noodle soup like the rest of their Americanized dumplings. It reminds of me of Americanized Chinese food from the 90s but updated for 2020+. I was telling the waiter the soup is not sour and he said why don't you add in some vinegar. Dude if I could do that I would be eating at home. Anyway perhaps if I feel like wasting 20 bucks I'll try it again but not sure I can tolerate the disappointment. read more

I came on a Sunday afternoon. Good service, really liked the music indoors. Very fast take out

I came here as a replacement for not being able to get a reservation at din tai fung, and I was pleasantly surprised! I think the highlight of this place is the quality-to-affordability ratio. Ultimately I think I prefer din tai fung in terms of overall food and atmosphere quality, but this place was so much cheaper and almost as good. I also think there is a bit more variety to the menu; I would say it has Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese elements to it. Overall, great place! Would for sure go again. read more

I've had just about everything on the menu here at this point, and nothing disappoints. The stand outs are definitely the buns--any kind but I always order the vegan and the pork and onion--and the pan fried dumplings (the shrimp and pork are amazing). Their sauces are good but could be more complex. The chili oil is mostly oil flavor and not much spice at all. The vinegar is very savory but don't put too much on, even if you love it or it might go down your throat the wrong way and make you choke . I learned that the hard way! They're also great at fixing dishes to your taste. I order the hot and sour soup sometimes but it's more hot than sour and they always are willing to make it extra sour for me. Very authentic Chinese meal. Delicious and way less work than the all day process of homemade dumplings. We'll save that for holidays! read more

Dumpling The Noodle - Noodles Near Me - Seattle, Washington

45th up in Wallingford has a nice collection of asian eateries! Even though the name of the place (Dumpling the noodle) has a funny ring to it, I would recommend trying! Stuff tried: Shitake buns: wow these were amazing! Buns not too doughy and packed with shitake mushrooms! Fried vegan wontons: cant resist fried crunchy things. Filling is some kind of veg mixture. Nice snacky item Garlic lamen noodle: noodles with good chew to them and not mushy! Jajang tofu pancake roll: hand portable snack that would be a good on the go option if you dont feel like using utensils. Prices are reasonable for the food you get and i thought the quality was good. Menu is pretty extensive so i have much more to try! read more

Dumpling The Noodle - This is the Chili the Garlic Tofu Lamen (vegan). Addicting! - Noodles Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Yeah, this place lived up to the hype. I first learned of it on IG when the TwoSeattleGirls posted a reel about how amazing it is, plus affordable, and I'd have to agree. I also liked the backstory of an electrical engineering UDUB student who missed the flavors of his hometown in Beijing. Very enticing. I'm glad we gave it a shot on the Lunar New Year; we'll be back because the vibes were so chill here. I was surprised by how low-key this place is with the various articles and lines out the door for this place. This is a must-try in the city for dumplings and those hand-pulled chewy lamen noodles. If I lived in the area, I'd probably get takeout most nights from this place; glad I'm all the way in Belltown :) If you eat in house, try to get on the waitlist asap; otherwise, you'll be waiting a while. We had multiple dumplings, the JaJang Beef Pancake Roll to start, and the Chili the Beef Lamen. We ended up devouring the lamen; it was so chewy, the meat melted like butter, and the sauce was top-notch, not spicy at all, IMO. We dipped the pancake in the sauce and ate it that way; the pancake was surprisingly so filling on its own so just be aware of that! The dumplings: Bok Choy Mushroom - was the freaking best! I cannot recommend these enough; not only were they so interesting looking since they're green, but the flavor was this herbally taste that was surprising and enjoyable at the same time Beef Bulgogi - eh, I'd pass on these, but glad we at least gave them a try. The flavor was artificial and almost tasted like a sweet perfume. I was NOT feeling it. Pork chives shrimp - was BOMB. Wow, the flavor really came through on these, I could hardly taste the shrimp, but the two types of meat together created this burst of flavor. It was so good! read more

The service was quick and the spicy shrimp wonton was my favorite thing here. Satisfied my cravings for Chinese food in Seattle.

Really good dumplings, noodles and other Chinese items, but small portions given the prices. Plenty of vegan options and tasty food, but you'll pay a hefty price to leave full here. We stopped in for dinner, seeing as they had lots of vegan options. You order dim sum style, in that you check off items on a sheet that you want. We ordered: -Vegan wonton with spicy sauce ($9.95 tax) - this dish came with 7 vegan wontons drenched in their house chili oil. Very tasty, nicely textured, though too oily. Bad value at $10 for 7 pieces. 4/5 -JaJang Tofu Pancake Roll ($9.95 plus tax; vegan) - this dish was like an Asian wrap, like a classic Northern potato roll. The wrap came with fried pastry coated with hoi sin sauce, stuffed with firm tofu and various veggies. Very oily, fried, but damn delicious. 4.5/5 -Kale in Sesame Dressing ($6.55 plus tax; vegan) - fresh bunch of kale coated in a nice sesame sauce, sort of like a Chinese version of goma-ae but with raw, unwilted kale. Very tasty. 4.5/5 -Bok choy mushroom dumpling ($9.95 plus tax; vegan) - very tasty, well-textured dumplings, but not great value at $10 for 7 pieces. -Organic vegan dumpling ($9.95 plus tax) - the better of the two dumpling dishes, but also not great value at $10 for 7 pieces. - Chili the veggie lamen ($14.75 plus tax; vegan) - the noodle character here was almost like instant noodles, but coated in a tasty spicy sesame sauce, with a few greens and minimal tofu. Tasty stuff, but a fairly small portion given the price tag. All in all, very tasty food, especially the dumplings. Not good value, as our bill came to over $65 before tip, and over $75 after. Recommended if you don't care about a good value meal. read more

Decided to come here based on recommendation from a friend- Good beer, fast service, great food so far!

Pretty solid menu of offerings. As other reviewers pointed out, they do noodles really well. Chewy, thick, and delicious. Their dumplings are tasty too. My boyfriend really enjoyed his pork/shrimp dumplings. I unfortunately received the wrong dumplings. It was a particularly egregious mistake because I ordered veggie dumplings (bok choy/mushroom) but received chicken/corn dumplings. The box had a sticker that said bok choy but the dumplings were undoubtedly chicken/corn (see photo). I am not vegetarian or vegan but if I was and I bit into a chicken dumpling because of their error? I'm sure I'd be really upset. The chicken/corn dumplings were pretty good but it was disappointing not receiving what I had ordered. read more
