First time I ate there with my husband. Ordered pan fried dumpling, pot stickers, garlic bock Choy and salt & paper fried tofu, everything was great. I want to try some other dishes next time. Only I can't give 5 star is, service is slow because of shortage of workers. read more

We wanted to give Epic a try since my sister recommended it. We went for early lunch, so it was fairly empty. It seems more like a mom-n-pop shop, nothing fancy. We were seated and ordered quickly. The string beans were terrific. But the marinated beef pancake roll and green chive pancake were a little disappointing. The marinaded beef and the chive fillings were delicious, but the pancakes were a bit thick and doughy. They should be thinner and have a crunch to them. My husband enjoyed his braised beef fresh noodle soup. I enjoyed the cumin fried pork chops. read more

I order 2 items for dine in and took about 30 min.2 Families literally came in well after me and both got all their food before me. I am by myself and both families that showed up after me are clearly bigger parties. I just order wontons and a pancakes. Make that make sense. Bad service. read more

Food is excellent and so is the price! Would definitely go here rather then wait in a line at Ding Tai Fung

We came in for dinner with high expectations since Yelp seems to like this restaurant. There were a lot of people getting take out too so it looked promising, but we were very disappointed by the dishes we got. We got a sweet and sour pork (which was completely not what I expected, it looks like a fish filet? The dish felt like it was quickly thrown together and didn't look appetizing), the beef chow fun (large portion but the flavors weren't hitting the spot), pan fried buns (the bottoms weren't crispy and it just tasted super doughy), and a xiao long bao. The staff was friendly but the food was a miss. read more

Great food. No beer or liquor. Tried many different items including soup dumplings, garlic beef, and bbq shrimp. I would eat here again.

Tried chicken dumpling and chicken popcorn rice combo. Seemed unhealthy and oily considering taste, and had beef too (not mentioned in description). read more

This was a great find for a noodles & dumpling spot in Sunnyvale! Amazing prices, ordered the following three dishes and was under $40. Split the food with one other person and the portion sizes were so generous we could barely finish it all. - Beijing bean paste noodle with pork- wished there was a bit more meat in this but the noodles were so fresh and chewy - Pork and chive dumplings in szechuan hot chili oil sauce- 12 dumplings for $13!! - Shanghai pork XLB You order online off a QR code at the table, and the food came out extremely quickly. Service was prompt whenever we needed anything. Wide variety of choices on the menu too, would definitely come back to try more of them! read more

Been here several times now and really like their Dan Dan noodles. The sauce that it comes with seems to be a combination of some kind of sesame sauce, soy/vinegar sauce and chili sauce. The noodles are bouncy and fresh and the balance of the dish is done really well. We always have their dumplings and find them to be average. They are good every day type of dumplings but nothing special to them, just done consistently and made fresh. They have a kiosk now when you come in to order and you can order online for pickup as well, which is very convenient. They do offer a cash discount, which is a nice option if you carry cash with you. The cash discount does not apply to their frozen orders though and buy it does require a cash payment. read more

Great food! My favorites were the Cantonese shrimp dumpling and the pan fried soup dumplings :)

EPIC DUMPLING. Epic steamed bbq pork bun that has the softest fluffiest white exterior, placed perfectly next to its red sweet pork counterpart. Epic shanghai pan fried soup dumpling that was the most fun and tastiest thing to eat. Epic crispy orange chicken (best I've ever had) with white quality meat! Epic dining experience with my favorite person in the whole world eating dim sum for the first time and his awesome family. Epic server who was so sweet and kind and helpful and deserves the best treatment. EPIC. Thank you Jesus for the best dim sum I've ever had. Reminds me of my childhood and brings back good memories of getting dim sum with my dad. What a lovely hole in the wall spot with a welcoming environment. I thank God for an EPIC surprise. read more

Consistently shitty service. We've gone here three times when we've wanted some dim sum nearby and every. single. time. they manage to be so rude or mess something up. I always come in with a blank slate and try to be friendly, and consistently leave with a bad taste in my mouth. The food is decent and they have a good variety of options without pork and beef, but I'm done. It's just not worth it anymore at this point. This time we walked in to pick up an order and a $12 item was missing. If I am showing you a receipt with the items I ordered and not all of them are there, don't argue about it? If replacing the order takes 10 minutes and now the rest of our food is cold, maybe apologize? Or at least don't be rude when you're giving us the food that you forgot in the first place? read more

Excellent dumplings! Great service. Tiny place next to dive bar. Totally worth it. Great prices, no frills. Love it

Don't get me wrong, they make good foods here, but poor service doesn't make up for it. We have little baby and it makes it challenging to eat anywhere. So I usually order take out and we live in south SJ. This is a long drive for us. I know there is some language barrier so we always tries to confirmed our order. But people here make it uncomfortable and difficult to go back or want to eat here. Even down to asking for hot sauces. What kind of restaurant wants to make it agonizing to want to eat there. This one!!! It's like going to order a frys and they don't give u ketchup???? A lil customer service goes a long way. Anyhow, I don't like to rant but this place leave a deep scared in me and I like to let it out. So deep that even thought we were in the area yesterday and the name came up, but we prefer to take our business some where else because we refuse to go back no matter what. read more

Came in on a Saturday around 7pm. There is plenty of parking out front and there was no one when we came in. This was a very average meal. Nothing was spectacular about the dishes. Ordered the string beans, pork XLB, cucumber salad with fungus,dan dan noodles, and shu mai. The cucumber salad just tasted like vinegar was not a fan. The string beans were the BEST dish. Great flavor. The XLB were alright. The shu mai were also just okay. The dan dan noodles came with ground pork and cucumber were pretty good. Not sure if the flavoring was an accurate representation of this dish. Was more on the sweet side (?) Would not be dying to revisit this restaurant. read more

Came here for lunch and their menu is amazing with variety of of noodles & dumplings. They made the food pretty fast, comes out after a few minutes of each dish. Ordered 1. Pan fried shanghai soup dumplings - pretty large size, a bit doughy but still juicy & delicious 2. Beef noodle soup that's shareable and good portions of beef, noodles & veggies. 3. Popcorn chicken - might be the highlight of what we ordered! Lightly cooked so it's crispy and not crunchy. Could use the spicy chili powder for a kick though. Would totally get this again. 4. Marinated beef pancake - also delicious! 5. Chicken feet - I was excited to see this as I really enjoy it when I go dim sum but this was a disappointment as the sauce/marinade used was more like a Cha Su Bao sauce and not a sweet/salty/soy base. I would not order this again. Overall great small place for noodles & dumplings/dim sum. I'd totally come back here again! read more

Located in a small plaza so parking is very limited. It is a small restaurant but it's filled with an aroma that makes you drool as you walk through the front door. On a Saturday afternoon, I was able to get a table right away. They do offer physical menus to look at but you would have to order through your phone. For 5, we ordered: - Pork & Shrimp Siu Mai: 4/5 - Shanghai Soup Dumpling (XLB): 4/5 - Garlic String Bean: 5/5 - Golden Crispy Tofu: 5/5 - Shanghai Pan Fried Soup Dumpling: 3/5 - Dumplings in Sichuan Hot Chili Sauce: 5/5 - Marinated Pig Ear: 5/5 - Beef Pancake: 5/5 Oh boy, if I had a second stomach, I would order double for the dishes I ranked 5/5 above. Food came out fairly quickly, piping hot, and extremely flavorful.. *drools*. So glad I found this hole in the wall, mom and pop shop on Yelp; I'm already thinking about visiting again soon! read more

Epic Dumpling - Tomato & Egg Rice Combination - Dim Sum Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Very mid. Tried two types of their dumplings, their fried rice and noodles. All very forgettable with no wok hei.

Had a craving for dumplings so I dropped by epic dumplings for take out. Their restaurant store window provided a view of staff making dumplings in the kitchen. I was excited to see they had a range of dishes and not just dumplings-- ordered salt and pepper fish and braised beef noodle soup in addition to their shrimp and pork chive dumplings. Might have been a mistake. Shrimp and pork chive dumplings were good and came with soy sauce and some chili sauce. Salt and pepper fish is a no go for me-- more salt than pepper and didn't have the light airy crisp I was hoping for. It was topped with jalapeños but not enough. The braised beef noodle soup was very light but hearty at the same time. It wasn't as flavorful or umami as I expected but the beef was very tender. The host or cashier tender who took my order spoke mandarin btw and some English. While I waited 15 mins for my order, plenty of others came in the pick up their in-app food orders. All in all I'd come back for dumplings. Except I'll remember to use their check-in 15% off 30$ take out next time. Check in y'all! read more

This place was pretty empty, but it seems like a lot of people do order take out. Thanks to it being empty, we were able to quickly get seated at any table we wanted. Honestly this place is a hidden gem. Maybe not the BEST Chinese place I ever had, but it satisfies all my cravings and also there are some unique twists to some of the dishes. For example, the chive pancake was quite unique and I've never had anything like it. There were some shrimp and the outer part was very crispy. The eggplant was super bomb, and the cucumber was quite garlicy but still delicious. The dumplings were pretty good, and overall, everything tasted satisfactory. As it's close by, I'm definitely coming back another time! read more

This place was a pleasant surprise from start to finish the team working there were clearly nice folks who cared about making the visit enjoyable from the way they answered questions to how they checked on me during the meal the food was also very good with well thought out flavors that complemented each other without being too heavy or too bland I tried something new from the menu and it turned out to be a great choice the texture and taste were spot on and it looked appealing too the overall mood in the restaurant was relaxed and inviting which helped me unwind while eating I appreciated the balance of professionalism and friendliness in the service which made the experience feel genuine and not forced I would gladly recommend this spot if you want tasty food and a friendly atmosphere read more

Super fast and excellent food. Really like this place. A bit of a hole in the wall. They were peeling green beans in the in the dining area - I guess that's ok - but perhaps not going for high marks in the Ambiance department. Otherwise service is quick. read more

This is one of my favorite dumpling places. Most of the time I go there for a lunch with mini me since we both like XLB dumplings. But sometimes we go there for a dinner after an event so we'll have a warm food to end the night m. This place offer delicious comfort foods with casual atmosphere Their chili sauce is delicious also. The staff are efficient. The hot tea is free of charge which is a nice plus. The parking space is sharing with other businesses but you won't have problem with the parking. Our favorite orders are: H01 XLB, H03 pan fried bun (XLB in a bun), E09 Beef chow fun (a bit too oily but otherwise it'll too sticky) , and C01 pork and shrimp wonton fresh noodle soup (which sometimes come without noodle but instead more wonton. The price is good and they accept CC payment. I come here at least once a month. read more

It has been a while since I visited Epic Dumpling, but it was a huge regret to come back. Ordered the Cantonese Shrimp Dumpling since I recalled it was decent, but today they are serving me the same exact one that you can buy from Costco frozen. It looked the same and tasted the same but they basically charge you 5x more just for the streaming service, WTF! They do have a few "auntie" wrapping dumpling live, but serving food straight from Costco is a new low. Will not return ever even though other dumpling are still "home made". read more

I love my food and I love Dumpling. My view of the good taste of dumpling are few things. A) the meat/ inside ingredients have to be right and fresh. B) the skin of the dumpling have to be medium thick for chewy and can with hold the boil or steam process without cracking. C) Cook throughly without breaking the skin of the dumpling and does not make the skin taste to slimy. This place achieve 2 of of 3. Still a good place to eat. Here is my scoring card for this restaurant: 1) Location: ( 5 Point ) - Great location for customer to see and find. Great parking for street parking and back side with parking lot parking. 2) Decoration : (2 Point) - They still have the original decoration. Clean but not up to date. 3) Price: ( 4 point)- The price is competitive but still a little bit pricey compare to other same stars and type food they serve 4) Quality and Taste : ( 3 point)- The quality is ok, food taste is good and portions are below average . 5) Type of cuisine standard : ( 4 point) - The style of Chinese dumpling food they serve is pretty close to the way it was prepare in China. Not bad! But some dishes did have slightly modify to cater the customer's need Overall it's not bad and I thinks it's great to give it a try and let me know what you think.

Ordered some food and was satisfied after not expecting much. Food looked a little small but the prices are also fairly low so value is fair. Hearty spot that with some hiccups that stood out. However, authentic and nostalgic vibes. Average experience. Beef Chow Fun - a standard, nothing special but not terrible. A little overly greasy though, moreso than the standard chow fun. Could use some green onions to improve and be more authentic. Had one bite of beef that was super chewy and hard to eat, but other than that pretty typical. Signature Pan Fried Soup Dumplings - great pan fry on the bottom, solid crunchy base. Some soup bursts out on most bites but a few were dry so it's inconsistent - it's no XLB but it's a nice pan fried bun. Dough was a bit rough on the top though, firmer to the bite. Fairly thick dough as well, could be improved in that aspect to make it softer and easier to chew on top. read more

I was craving dim sum so i decided to try this place. The reason i ordered from here is because the prices were fair and they had many other options outside of dim sum or dumplings. I usually like to have some type of noodle dish or rice dish to accompany my dim sum. They have a couple different fresh noodle dishes that kept catching my eye but i settled on Dan Dan Noodles. I've had different versions of this dish from different places and this one was pretty good. The noodles were super bouncy and perfect. The flavor was on the sweeter side, not spicy and not very peanut-ty (which I personally prefer). The portion was huge. I was actually surprised by how much they give you. I also ordered spicy wontons, har gow and siu mai. They were all really good. The hot sauce was super good and actually spicy. I will definitely be trying more items from here in the future. Overall great experience for me today read more
