    Walnut shrimp

    My daughter and I were running errands and dropped into the restaurant. The food is amazing! Prolly the best honey shrimp I e ever eaten! The service is quick and friendly. The ambience clean upbeat and welcoming.

    Overall good dishes. Some were better than others but everything was good. The soup dumpling skins are a little on the thicker side and the filling is a little sweet. The Shanghai stir fry noodles were very yummy. Good pan friend dumplings. The beef rolls were a hit with everyone. Beef noodle was liked by some but not everyone. Green beans were standard. Onion pancake was crispy but oily. Sorry my pics are from after we started eating. Service was excellent and restaurant was clean. I would like to comment that someone was cleaning something in the back around 6:15pm and the smell of disinfectants(maybe pine sol) was really strong and off putting for patrons who are still eating.

    Deliciously good! Nice ambience. I really like the beef roll. The cucumbers provide a fresh crisp to the tender beef. It's good to eat by itself.

    Food was good, price was reasonable. The dumplings are fresh and made to order. If you have a craving for dumplings, this place hit the spot. The Shanghai fried noodles were good. Ambiance was more of a fast food diner type. Service was good. Private parking lot.

    Pretty good dumplings and food all around! Came here for lunch while visiting friends and they had heard about this place. No wait on a Friday afternoon, even though there were random tables with a "reservation" placard on multiple tables.. String beans were nice and crunchy, chow mein was flavorful, and XLBs were good. I suggest coming with a larger group so you can all share everything!

    01.24.2026 - DUMPLING YO - GREENHAVEN AREA SACRAMENTO, CA - came in and was seated. Waited for food for 5 mins - good timing. Place is pretty clean. I bought a bowl of won ton soup and pork shu mai. WON TON SOUP - the broth was delicious. I haven't eaten won ton soup like this but it was delicious. The broth had seaweed, shrimp brine, green onion and chives. It has that Umami flavor that reminds me a little of ramen dishes. PORK SHU MAI - it's made and shaped like a Shu Mai. The taste is flavorful and it does have that traditional Shu Mai flavor. When biting into it, I saw maybe two kernels of corn. Since I came here alone, I only ordered two dishes. It's enough. I'm already full. The waiter was extremely nice. I'll try again with other dishes. I have my eye on the Mapo Tofu.

    In a nutshell; really good dumpling/comfort food establishment to try out. Simple menu with not the biggest variety of choices but what they offer they make really well. No complaints on service. Food didn't take too long either. Few select booths, seats and tables, probably not meant for a huge party size. Overall nice place to consider if you're looking for dumplings or rolls or a select choices of Chinese food.

    Very late to the party as my interest in this place has been piqued since it made Yelp's Top 100 as #3 Chinese restaurant in the country. Finally had a chance to try it a few weeks ago with three of my friends. As a Taiwanese girl, I wanted to order all the standards from the braised pork rice to the beef roll to the beef noodle soup. The quality and consistency across all the dishes we ordered earns this place high marks, even if I have favorite versions of every dish at another place in the Bay Area. My favorites of the night were the green beans, pan fried steamed buns, and the beef roll. Love that restaurants of this caliber are coming to the Pocket area and glad to see that the hard-working owners are doing so well.

    Disclaimer: I always have high expectations for dumplings, noodles, XLB, etc. because I grew up in Taiwan and my family also made these items by hand. Now, that also likely explains my constant craving for these foods like it's water! It's my soul food! We were in Sacramento on a Saturday afternoon and wanted to try a new spot. We walked in around 11AM and were promptly seated, no wait. We had the basics- pork XLB, pork and chives dumplings, fried pork buns, + Shanghai noodles, and braised pork over rice. I call it basics as in the "must haves", by no means basic in taste! Everything was delicious and we even got the frozen dumplings to take home. Consider opening 1 in Folsom? Promise we'll be regulars!

    Everything about this restaurant is a 10/10. The owner himself is extremely welcoming and will explain any dish on the menu you have questions about. The menu itself has a lot of variety and they also have monthly specials posted. The shanghai noodles are delicious. So much flavor and not too greasy. Probably my favorite noodle I've ever eaten at an Asian restaurant. The soup dumplings were equally just as good. We also tried the special beef buns. Service is fast, but the restaurant is on the smaller side so you may be waiting for a table if you don't go before the lunch or dinner rush. I think I just found my new favorite lunch spot! I can't wait to return to eat more of those noodles!

    There are friendly people here sitting indoors and outdoors, and parking is easy. You could easily get an RV here. We ordered pork and shrimp dumplings, and beef noodle soup. The house made fillings fill the dough and the soup is also very good. The food is Shanghainese and some Taiwanese.

    XLB Pork Soup Filled Dumplings
    Christine Q.

    Mom and pop spot with delicious food, kind staff and clean restaurant. 5/5 Tried this olace, we arrived at 4:20 on a Sunday. Ended up waiting a little bit because they opened for dinner at 4:30 pm. It was a rainy day so I ordered the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup in mild. Had an order of XLB dumpling. Everything was good!

    Christopher K.

    Not the best, not the worst. The braised beef was quite dry and lacked the tender moistness that one would expect. It was a tad salty and overpowering. The beef noodle soup was somewhat flavorful but lacked the comforting feeling of the savory flavor profile of this typically. The xlb soup dumplings were tasty and the highlight of the meal. They were moist while the soup inside was hot and delicious. There are other items we'd like to try next time but we likely won't order the same items as before.

This place is usually packed usually weekends but we just got lucky and not so many people today. The servers are good and quick let's review what we order. I order the pork ribs it's okay nothing special it's kind bland to me, if they put a little oyster sauce probably way better, shrimp harkaw is okay to good portion and the shrimp is big. We order choy sum veggies it was okay nothing special but their calamari is really good I can taste the five spice, we ordered our all time favorite Congee and it's really good, we always order Congee whenever we visit this restaurant. Their Crispy Pork is good but the sauce is too salty for me. Their Yang Chow fried rice is good too and their chicken feet one of our all time favorite. I also noticed that they got a Michellin award last year that's why probably a lot of people eat here. But my overall experience is just okay, nothing special.

Honestly, I feel like…read morethe Asian food scene in Sacramento has really gone downhill after COVID, the price for each dim sum order is almost $8 to $12 an order (typically around $4 to $5 before) mind you these dishes are small, like 3 to 4 dumplings an order. Price went up, quality and quantity went down. You fill out what you want on a piece of paper, and then the waiter brings out the food. Our food came out fairly quickly but it was room temperature like it's been sitting in the back, the only thing that came out pretty hot was our last item but it was overly greasy. I'm not sure if this will be the same experience for their lunch or dinner meals, but I'm afraid to try and get disappointed.

However, be careful with the specials that are offered when you first sit down. Our waitress, Ling, recommended a "combo" for $30 that included fish bone porridge and pan-fried noodles with fish. The noodles tasted fine, but the portion was quite small. The fish bone porridge was extremely bland--I could barely taste any fish. After looking at the regular menu, I noticed that a plain porridge costs about $5, and a similar pan-fried noodle dish is only around $14-15. Based on those menu prices, the $30 combo did not seem to offer good value and felt significantly overpriced. I would definitely recommend the restaurant for its food, but I also recommend checking the menu prices before accepting any off-menu or verbally recommended specials so you know exactly what you're paying for.

The dining room is massive and feels like a giant wedding/event hall. The dim sum is authentic and delicious: har gow, siu mai, bao, rice noodle rolls, chicken feet, plus claypot dishes, gai-lan, house special fried rice, and Chinese string beans with chicken. Everything we tried had great flavor and wasn't overly oily. The complimentary dessert, though, was a miss: basically egg whites with sugar. Service is pretty basic and can be hectic. You sometimes have to wave someone down for tea refills or other requests, and staff weren't especially courteous. Free parking in the complex, but it can be tough to find a spot during meal times.

The ladies pushing the carts were fine. They just told us that we needed to get a waiter for water. The food quality has gone downhill over the years, but we stopped by a lot because of the location convenience. I would have to say the best part of this restaurant is that they still push carts of food, which is something I know that a lot of places stopped implementing.

The food does look fresh on the buffet assembly line and the dim sum looked decent. But for today, i wanted to try their take-out stir fry dishes. So what did we order. 1) Broccoli chicken in garlic sauce entree. chicken was rough and lacked flavor. It seemed recooked and prepped earlier. Broccoli was fresh and cooked very al dente (i guess it is better cooked less to retain the vitamins and nutrients). the garlic sauce had minimal flavor. i would say it is meh. would i order this dish again....good question. 2) spareribs in black bean sauce over rice. the dish looked very good. Too bad it didn't taste as well as it looked. Let's start with the rice. The rice was cold, grainy, a little hard, and tasted like it was prepared the other day. Blah. The pork also lacked flavor- it had a mealy texture and dry. As if the pork pieces were boiled in hot water first as the initial prep which destroyed the texture hoping the black bean sauce would cover the poorly prepared pork pieces- blah, Yuck, awful. However, the veggies (bell pepper:onions) were tasty and prepared well. The sauce was decent but it did have more of a soy sauce flavor than black bean flavor. Would i order this again- nope. never. walk away. I hope their other pork dishes are not boiled in water first as well. blah. Prices are a bit higher with the new owners. But food cost are higher everywhere.. $15 for the broccoli chicken and $12.75 for the spareribs in black bean sauce. Would i come back for the entrees- nope. but perhaps i will try their dim sum another time.
