Totally down for the take-out only and cash-only vibe, but I just didn't like the dumplings! The pork and soup dumplings were far too salty, and I'm not usually picky which is why I was so disappointed. read more

Hands down, the best dumplings I've ever had. But to be honest, I haven't had them a lot due to me being a vegetarian. I just assumed that veggie dumplings would either not be really available, or be boring. But these are insanely good! Way better than expected! They were obviously handmade and filled with a lovely combo of spinach, tofu, onion and more. I will definitely return when I head back to Houston! A must for any vegetarian looking for great authentic dumplings. read more

Delicious and amazing! I could see the dumplings being hand made. Pork soup dumplings were my favorite

Hole in the wall favorite! Texture and flavor of the pan fried dumplings make them unforgettable. Cannot beat the price. Bring cash just in case the machine goes down. read more

I can't believe I have been here so many times and have not left a review yet! This is, by far, one of the most affordable eats in Houston. From paying under $6 for 18 dumplings to a giant container of Zhajiang Noodles, you really can't beat the prices at Golden Dumpling House. Oh not to mention, you can buy frozen dumplings too so you can store them in the freezer and eat to your heart's desire, whenever you want. For even cheaper than ordering at the restaurant! After having been so many times, my must gets and go tos are: - Pork and Leek boiled dumplings - Beef boiled dumplings - Chicken and veggie steamed dumplings - Zhajiang Noodles All their dumplings have plenty of meat inside and the dumpling wrapper is thicker than what I've usually eaten, but I love the chewiness of it. My favorite alternates been the pork and beef dumplings, so you really can't go wrong with either. We recently started ordering the Zhajiang Noodles and what a great dish this is. It's so simple - ground up beef in a ginger, black bean and soy sauce concoction mixed in with some carrots and cucumbers. Definitely a must get. For the price and taste, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to this gem. During COVID (as of 05/01/21) they are doing take out only and each order usually takes around 25 minutes! read more

There as so many options of dumplings! The wait wasn't very long. They also have some noodle options. The beef noodle soup was very good.

If you're getting your dumplings anywhere else you are crazy! Look at the size, the filling!! Anyway this is the place to be. Feeling under the weather and ordered a wonton noodle soup, steamed beef and veg dumplings, and an order of 40 frozen boiled dumplings for 12$... Total less than 30$ for so much food. Also opened my sinuses right back up. Just satisfied to the max every time. To go only, cash or zelle! read more

Some of the biggest portions of great quality food in Houston. I usually call my order in and then pick it up. Since COVID the restaurant does to go only. Don't sleep on the scallion pancake. It is great. read more

Insane price and amount of food in this economy. I ordered the Zha Jiang Mien and $7 got me a heaping amount of noodle and an even more heaping amount of meat. Go anywhere midtown and they would give half this amount for double the price. Taste was also amazing and so satisfying. The only downside is that it's to go only so you have to do the eating elsewhere. I also recommend calling ahead to order because there are always a few people waiting and it can take a while if you walk in to order. read more

It is rare to find dumplings without pork, and this location HIT THE SPOT. First, the portions are HUGE. The dumplings each are twice the size of the usual I've had. Pan fried is delicious, and I would say the steamed dumplings are more flavorful. The chicken dumplings (bottom) were tender, juicy, and flavorful. I tasted corn and other veggies in there also. You get so much for the price! Other recommendations: The fried onion cakes (top right) are so cheap and complements the dumplings perfectly! The beef fried dumplings (top left) were a hit as well! PS: don't forget the chili oil on the side! DELICIOUS!!! read more

Yes yes yes!! Finally made it lol it seems like we always roll into town when they are closed on a Monday haha but this time we came on a Tuesday and it was opened ahh so happy!! We decided to hit it early for lunch to-go in the car because we know these made to order dumpling places tend to sell out. Got there around 11 and wanted to try a bit of everything so we got some soup dumplings, panfried ones, leek and pork mini ones, veggie ones which I usually like and another pork one. 5 total orders. So excited. Each kind you can choose the kind of meat you want. I wanted to try wonton so much but it seemed like alot of dumplings for us 5 people including kids lol We paid in cash since it's cash only. Lady behind the counter presumably the owner said it would take 25mins so we headed to Hmart to do some shopping. Came back 25mins later and it was all wrapped and ready to go. We opened them up in the car and wow they look great! Yes as another Yelper said the skin is thicker than some may like but I figure this place is more szechuan style so they tend to make them thick. We truly enjoyed them. Is it the best soup dumplings we've had? Not really but it's good. They give so many for such a great price too. We had so many tiny ones left and the veggie one is an acquired taste. Kids didn't like. Maybe a bit gingery but I liked them. Authentic. Huge. Our fave is definitely the panfried ones. Will be getting more of those next time. We were do full lol bsutijg st the seams but are them ALL!! Loved this place and will definitely go back and want to try the other things they have next time and definitely wonton soup maybe :) yay happy we got to try! Thanks so much! read more

Great quality and price every time. Never fails to deliver incredible flavor and consistent taste

It's always such a pleasure to eat here! This restaurant used to be takeout only, but they finally brought back dining in, which is great! Some of the BEST dumplings I ever had in Houston; they're large with an ample amount of filling, not to mention the prices are awesome, too. I enjoyed finally being able to sit down and eat as well since the vibes are very cozy. Really nice staff as well. Love this place! read more

A great place for plump juicy fresh dumplings. Recommend pan fried dumplings and steamed dumplings. You'll enjoy the dumplings if you like a thicker skin and flavorful filling. Do not recommend the Dan Dan Noodles. I know each restaurant has their own style but this style was not my preference. The sauce tasted more like a thin soy sauce rather than a more hearty thicker sauce. The noodles themselves were great. They only take cash or Zelle, no credit cards. read more

I showed up here because of a recommendation from a friend who grew up in the area. He swore by this place so maybe I had it hyped up in my head when I finally went and was slightly disappointed. The price point is awesome. You can great a crazy amount of dumplings for a very reasonable price. The lady taking e orders was very nice and informative given my Chinese was lacking. The dumplings themselves are good. I thought I could make better with stuff I get at local markets. Sauces were good and they were generous with them. No inside seating. Everything is to go. I know better dumpling places in the area but this place is good for cheap eats. read more

Reasonable pricing and the dumplings are *chefs kiss* They're stuffed and flavorful. I typically order the soup dumplings and steamed pork dumplings. I absolutely love them and somehow always find myself back to them. It is a bit of an inconvenience since we're not able to dine in but luckily we live pretty close. Service is always good too. 100/10 would recommend read more

Bottom line is they do make excellent dumplings. Steamed, pan fried or boiled at a very affordable price. You can also buy frozen ones to take home. All made from scratch. I hope they open for dine in again. I miss the free tea you can get here as well. Cash or Zelle for payments only. read more

Golden Dumpling House - Pan fried dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

A small cozy restaurant where you can see people making dumplings in the back! The woman at the counter was very nice and informative. We ordered the fried pork and vegetable dumplings, steamed chicken and vegetable dumplings, and the dan dan noodles. The fried dumplings had a beautiful fry and well flavored filling. The steamed dumplings were nice and chewy with a well flavored filling too! The dan dan noodles were chewy and bouncy with a great peanut sauce! The dumplings were delicious without dipping sauce but we enjoyed the two dipping sauces they came with. The chili oil was just peppery enough! We got a lot of food for about 23.50 which is crazy! I would definitely recommend and return to this place. read more

Golden Dumpling House - They're temporarily closed for a few weeks for vacation. June 13 to July 6th, 2022 - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

I think I love this place. They make all sorts of dumplings. We got the panfried pork (8 pieces) and the xiao long bao (10 pieces), 1 scallion pancake, and 2 waters. This costed a little over $21. We'd be excited to try more for sure. However, you cannot beat this price! Wen we got there there was already a line. After a while the couple infront of us ordered, then we managed to order and she said it was going to be about 20-25 minutes. We waited in store. It was pretty peaceful and a nice ambiance. There was a lot of people coming by to do pickup - Im not sure about dining just yet as the tables were stacked and off to the side - so good on those people for timing it right. Then wen it came to our order she brought it out to us. We parked at a park and ate. The xiao long bao was tart but juicy and the skin was bouncy and fun to eat. The panfried dumpling bottom was panned but scorched scorched so it was a nice texture, with a good amount of meat. Both of these dumplings were bigger than I'm used to but I think it just highlights that these are hand made new everyday. They gave us two sauces. One was a vinegar-y one that paired beautifully w/ the xiao long baos but you could do it for any honestly. The chili/spicy one was amazing for the panfried as well. I loved the fact that there was enough sauce for you to drench your dumpling in or if you went the other way of not needing sauce, it was generous but not overtly. Definitely a fav, definitely going back to, going to be trying out more different types of dumpling. read more

Dear Lord I love this place!! I have to keep myself from going so many times as I don't want to turn into a dumpling myself ;) I've actually been coming here for years now. A friend introduced me long ago when I mentioned I liked dumplings. And I've never gone anywhere else since when I want dumplings!! Seriously it's that good!! Currently they are take out only - but they also started taking Zelle! Yup - used to be cash only, but now it's way easier to stop in when you don't have cash (damn it!!) LOL Do yourself a favor if you love dumplings - get over there now! My favorites: *Steamed Veggie Dumplings *Beef with Veggie Fried Dumplings *Zhajang Noodles Great :: now I want dumplings!! read more

This place is bussin bussin! Best Dumpling in town especially when the wallet looking thin af. Down side is they only take cash, but it's Asia town. If you ain't carrying cash you ain't getting nothing good. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, wifey approved read more

The prices are the best! You could get full under $10 for sure! You'll order at the front, get a #, pick a table and they'll bring it when it's ready! They have a "take what you need station" with bowls, chopsticks, soy sauce etc. which I didn't mind. The lady who took our order was nice, no complaints! We ordered 2 kinds of dumplings and Zhajiang noodle. Feel free to look at another picture for the ACTUAL size of the noddle bowl (we split up in portions). I've never had these noddles but when I tell you I would SO get them again. Chorizo is probably the best as I can describe it, but seasoned very differently with spices, 10/10! The chicken pan fried dumplings were my fav between the two, you can never go wrong with chicken, 10/10! As for the soup dumplings, I thought the soup came inside and so there was a strong pork taste 6/10 (assuming that was the meat). I recommend ordering a soup if you'll order the soup dumplings! The restaurant is homey in my opinion. It really reminds me of this fried rice place I used to go a child. Hopefully I head over again soon! 8/10 read more

Omg. Yummmmmmm These dumplings are amazing! We ordered the soup dumplings, pan fried dumplings and steamed veggie dumplings. It would be hard for me to choose a favorite; they were all delicious!

Big Big fan of dumplings ! ! All bc of this little shop, when I moved to Houston 3 years ago I tried dumplings for the first time. Since than I moved to dallas and have tried a bunch of different types of dumplings but these always come out on top !! Every time I come to town I have to stop by. Great quality for the amount you get / price !! 10/10. read more

Stopped by here and was thoroughly impressed by the quality and quantity of these dumplings! Currently everything is takeout only, and you will have to wait 20 min for them to prepare your order. I placed an order for 1) pan fried pork dumplings and 2) steamed veggie and pork dumplings for an incredible price of $14, and I couldn't even finish half of them!! Also if you like dough-y thicc dumplings, this place is it! read more

No frills spot for just really good dumplings. You'll see all sorts of varieties, from fried, steamed, or boiled. Your order may take some time, so dont think youll be in and out. Definitely more of a takeout place, since theres zero ambiance inside. I ended up getting pork steamed dumplings, along with the scallion pancakes. The dumplings are top knotch. Theres nothing artisanal or special in approach, but I guarantee you it will feel authentic. Great density to the dumpling noodle, as well as well portioned filling. The scallion pancake was orgasmic! Easily the best Ive had. The level of golden fried crispiness this brings is worthy of royalty! If you order anything, make sure its this. You will not regret it. read more

Update effective 8/11/19: came here for lunch again recently and was extremely disappointed by the way the owner hustled our group out of the restaurant because of a lunch rush wave. I was literally trying to finish feeding my kid when he came over and flat out asked if we were leaving. So. Incredibly. Rude. We hadn't even been there for a full hour. I won't be back. PS- found a hair in the food I took to go because they were in such a hurry to ditch us. Yuck yuck yuck. And that's how you go from 4 stars to 2! ---------------------------------------------------- Found this place via Instagrammer @houstongotspice and I just love trying her recs! This place is super affordable and can feed a ton of people on the cheap if need be. The cleanliness of this place is pretty much on par with the rest of Chinatown. They sell frozen bagged dumplings, too, if you want to take some home with you. But it seems like stuff sells out fast. I really enjoyed my dry tofu/peanut/anchovy appetizer but would definitely pass on the green onion pancake next time. It was positively DRIPPING in grease. Yuck. The dumplings were good and I preferred the steamed ones over the pan fried ones. I will definitely be ba read more

These may legitimately be the best dumplings I've had in my life. I'm not sure how I have never found this place before, since I'm always on the hunt for some good dumplings. My 2 favorites are the pork, shrimp, and veggie and also the pork and shrimp with the spicy sauce. The dumplings are always hot and freshly made so be ready to wait around 25 minutes or order ahead. This place only takes cash or zelle as payment. Another thing I think it's important is you can buy frozen dumpling to cook at home. The dumplings are so juicy and flavorful you don't even have to use any sauce. Even the frozen dumplings taste just as amazing. Pricing varies based on the type of dumplings you purchase but they are definitely a bang for your buck. It's currently only take out due to COVID and they are closed Monday's. I highly recommend you give this hidden gem a try! read more

I had a really bad first impression when I attempted to try Golden Dumpling several years ago, but I decided to give it another chance and I'm so glad that I did. Everything that I've had so far is super delicious and really cheap for all of the food that you get! The only thing to keep in mind, is that you can only pay with cash or electronic payment (like zelle.) It also sucks that there is no seating inside, but the food stays good even if you take it home! Definitely check out Golden Dumpling House if you haven't already. read more

One of my new staples since many noodle shops are closed from covid. This place is family owned and they make their own dumplings. I will eat them but not many since it's not one of my favs. The scallion pancake is very good and I love their cold sesame noodles. The steamed dumplings better than the fried ones. Tried their beef noodle soup it's ok but they give you a lot of noodles (house made). read more

Saw this place on YouTube with Mike Chen from strictly dumpling. Came by and they are still only doing to-go orders. Placed my order and it was ready within 25 minutes. While I was waiting I noticed a steady flow of traffic or orders. This place is very Popular. I decided to eat these in my car while they were still hot and fresh. Be careful with that first bite, I under estimated how hot they were and burned my mouth. The dumplings are packed with filling. The filling itself is Delicious, full of flavor so you really don't need sauce. This is my new go to place for dumplings! read more

I've been coming here for years and when I tell you guys this place is amazing you cannot go wrong dining at Golden Dumpling House. Their dumplings are so fresh and I just love how they are all made to order, so nothing is ready until you come in and place your order or phone in. So just be prepared to wait 20-25 for your order. I have had the steamed vegetable dumplings, which are my fave. Chicken dumplings, steamed and pan fried...I recommend them pan fried, but do you boo! Oooooo, can't forget the wonton soup, it's unlike any wonton you have ever tried! After having wonton here I am convinced the ones I had in the past are all fake Just go in and try, you won't be disappointed.
