The ambiance was cozy, clean, modern. I appreciated the exceptional service provided. He was attentive throughout the meal, patient, and competent in navigating the gluten free options with me. The food was excellent! Tasty and generous portions! read more

Not northern Chinese style dumplings. Think more dim sum style. The food, think Cantonese restaurant. Lots of fried. Lots of sauce. Lots of oil. Perfect little Chinese spot for this neighborhood but not the spot to go if you're looking for authentic dumplings and noodles. read more

Had Chinese food here for the first time in FIFTEEN YEARS thanks to their gluten free options! We got the chicken/cilantro dumplings, the honey walnut shrimp and the singapore noodles -- everything was perfect and the portions were huge. I can't fathom how they got everything so crunchy and crispy and delicious despite being gluten free. I'm sitting here thinking about going back and it's barely been 24 hours. I'm that down bad. The outdoor seats during great weather was definitely the way to go. Service was top notch, you can tell its a family joint they take pride in. I hope they add the secret dessert to the menu soon, it's gonna HIT in the summer! read more

BWE and I were out and about looking for a place to eat on a Sunday afternoon. We came upon this place. What a find! I ordered the spicy pork dumplings and the Mongolian beef with chow mein. BWE ordered the chicken and vegetables and chicken and cilantro dumplings (gluten free). NOTE: for those who are gluten free, they offer several gluten free and vegan options. We were both very satisfied with our orders. The spicy pork dumplings were delicious, packing a punch that was not overwhelming. They give you a TON of food. There was no way either of us was going to finish our orders. We both got take home boxes and are looking forward to round two with these dishes. We'll be back. read more

Came in on a Sunday around 5pm. There were two other tables with customers. We got a table right away. The order taker was friendly. We ordered xiao long bao, chicken cilantro dumplings, spicy garlic green beans and two Thai teas with crystal boba-different than the traditional boba. They were delicious and a nice large size. The green beans came out quickly and served piping hot. They were perfectly cooked with the perfect amount of spice. The soup dumplings were well made but the soup had mostly leaked out. The chicken cilantro dumplings was the highlight along with the green beans. The service was fast!! The restaurant is small but it was not over crowded today. There is an outside space but today there was a homeless person sitting out there when we arrived so no one was using it. Food and service rates 5 stars but with the homeless person in patio...minus one star : ( read more

I'd give them 3.5 if I could. The food was okay.... we liked the pan fried noodles and I enjoyed the shrimp siu Mai. The pork cabbage dumplings were just okay--kind of soggy and overcooked. We ordered 3 drinks, one with boba, unaware that they only have crystal boba, which none if us like. I'd recommend they call out what kind they have on the menu to avoid confusion. I liked the passion fruit blended ice. Not the oreo cookie blended ice. The place is very small and cute and the service was fast and friendly. read more

Great spot to grab lunch! Outdoor seating with shade and quick service. The Honey Walnut Shrimp was super crispy and full of sauce. I liked how many walnuts they included. The dumplings were good too! Definitely want to try their other offerings. I got my food super quickly and was surprised. Would recommend for a quick lunch and caffeine intake. read more

Yelp Elite family! I know I've been MIA, but am trying to slowly get back in the swing of things!! I need to give a shoutout to HIDDEN DUMPLING HOUSE. This spot is absolutely fantastic!!! A MUST if you're craving Chinese food in Sacramento! They are located in Midtown at the intersection of P and 28th St. If it was light out we could've walked from our apartment, but decided to do takeout as it was dark, so we drove. Parking is limited, but if you're lucky you can find a temporary spot out front. It also gets extremely busy inside Hidden Dumpling House, especially during the dinner rush and on weekends. This restaurant is very small and tables get nabbed fast! There's even lines of people (like myself) waiting outside for their takeout orders! Tonight was my first time there in a while. But good thing my wife reminded me how HUGE their portions are. We ordered some hot and sour soup, chicken and cilantro dumplings, and the General Tsao chicken combo plate with chow mein, fried rice, and an egg row. Everything was delicious!!! Fresh, flavorful, and the right amount of spice! Nothing watered down. Hidden Dumpling House is THE spot for the masses!! And these portions were more than enough for even THREE people.. maybe even FOUR. For us two... so much food!!! We have leftovers for DAYS!! Bottom line- order less than you think you'll eat. Trust me... their portions are ginormous! Overall, if you're looking for great tasting Chinese food in Sacramento, look no further than Hidden Dumpling House! read more

Overall: Stellar, unassuming corner Chinese spot with the kind of authentic flavor that quietly humbles you. We went on a whim and walked out wondering why we had not been there sooner. Service was quick. Every dish landed, but the spare rib noodle soup alone makes it worth the drive. This is the kind of place you visit once and then start planning your return Parking: Street parking and surprisingly not difficult to find We had: Spare rib noodle soup (5/5): Maybe it was the rainy weather, maybe it was fate, but this bowl defined the night. On paper it's simple: pork, baby bok choy, noodles, green onions. In reality it is deeply comforting and layered with flavor. The broth had body and warmth without being heavy, the ribs were tender and rich, and the noodles carried everything perfectly. It felt honest and soulful, like the kind of dish that does not try to impress you yet somehow does Garlic eggplant (5/5): A generous portion of silky eggplant cooked just right, paired with jalapeño, bamboo shoots, and mushroom in a sauce that hit that ideal balance of sweet and savory. The texture was spot on, soft but not mushy, and every component actually worked together. It is easy for eggplant to feel flat. This did not Xiao long bao (4/5): Still refining my dumpling standards, but this checked most of the important boxes. The wrapper was thin yet resilient, the broth aromatic and savory, and the filling well seasoned. The integration between soup and filling could have been a little more seamless, but overall it was a strong showing. Not transcendent, but absolutely worth ordering again read more

Beautiful artwork on the building and a decent sized patio for Lil Yelper Lucie at Hidden Dumpling Midtown. We were starving and ordered a lot but seriously I always order a lot Lol. The Garlic green beens were fresh and plentiful but had mild flavor. The chicken chow fun was super fresh and light in flavor. The shrimp and pork XLB and shrimp shui mai were good. The best dumplings were the pork shrimp and chive dumplings. These had a perfect mix and strong flavors. Perhaps it's just a different philosophy of cooking here but both of us thought the food was good but lacked punch. Lots of dumpling places in midtown but only Hidden Dumpling House has a dog friendly patio. Lil Lucie gives a Paws Up approval. read more

Out of the three options we got the shrimp dumplings were the best unfortunately everything else was just OK and the last item came out too late. We were already full at that point but when we reminded the waiter they said no it's coming please wait. Their menu items are very expensive, but I will say this is a very clean and renovated restaurant read more

Incredible Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings) and honey walnut shrimp! The honey walnut shrimp had a super delicate sweet coating with the juiciest shrimp inside. The Xiao long bao had a delicate filling and a delicious gingery broth inside and sauce! Highly recommend this place! read more

First time coming here after hearing really good things and everyone was 100% correct! Such a cute little place on the corner in midtown. I got 3 dumplings: Shrimp Sui Mai, XLB shrimp and Chicken Cilantro. All were perfect but the standout was the Chicken Cilantro! Packed dumpling and packed with flavors. I ate the food so fast that I forgot to take a photo . I will be back. read more

My long lost Hidden Dumpling House! I've lived walking distance from HDH for over a year now and had only been once before. I thought it was average. BUT TONIGHT, I ordered a takeout dinner combo (General Tso's chicken with chow mein, fried rice, and an egg roll) and that combo hit the spot!!! The food was fresh, hot, and delicious. Mild spice for the chicken but nice and crispy yet saucy. This spot is just your local, classic Chinese restaurant with all the dumplings and staples you could ask for. I'll be back for sure! Ps. The portion was massive and totally splitable. Also, as others have mentioned, it's tight quarters but my takeout was perfectly yummy. read more

Hi-ya! So my friends and I came here for dinner and it was a great find. There isn't much else around, as the name kind of suggests a nice hidden find. The service was good, dumplings were good--and very hot. The soups were tasty, but what I found my delicious was the veggie greens, so well seasoned and the fried rice. We all had a few beer and a lot of food out on the patio. It's was a good clear night, and food came fast. TBH we were probably a little louder than necessary, but the staff was super nice. The bathrooms btw were super clean and had these really funny pictures inside. read more

The most adorable dumpling house serving some of the best dumplings that i ever had! The vibe in there was everything, very warm and welcoming. The decor is amazing and is filled with corgis in the most random spots! I really enjoyed the open kitchen concept. The limited seating added to the cozy charm. The wait wasn't long and our food came out quickly. So many options on the menu it was hard to decide. I already have some other dishes in mind that i would like to try the next time i visit! Most of these dishes come in family style so perfect for sharing. The portions were so big that even after sharing we still had leftovers and somehow the food tasted even better the second day!!!! Spots like this really make my heart and belly happy! As for what i ordered: - Chicken and cilantro dumplings 10/10 especially with their chilly oil - cashew chicken 10/10 so tender and flavorful read more

We had our dog, and the accomodated with outside seating, which is much appreciated. Our server was very sweet and attentive, and even our dog liked her! (my dog is very shy, so i'm shocked she warmed up to someone!) We got garlic noodles, spicy garlic green beans, and the deep fried spicy wontons. Everything hit the spot, so much flavor, and the portions are so generous. I'm a huge green bean fan, and I couldn't finish only because there was so much! The wontons were good, i liked their crunch paired with the spicy chili oil. But my favorites were the garlic noodles. The way they make it is my favorite way to have it. Also tried their wintermelon tea and it was refreshing and sweet! I loved it. It's so cute here, perfect spot to have dumplings and chinese food. Shoutout to our server, Danni, for being great! read more

I really wanted to love this place after seeing all the hype on TikTok--the food looked amazing in photos. When we arrived, the restaurant itself was super cute with a nice aesthetic and good vibes, but it's very small inside with limited seating. The staff was friendly, which we appreciated, but unfortunately the food just didn't live up to expectations. We ordered several dishes, and most of them lacked flavor. The chow fun was especially disappointing--it just wasn't tasty at all. The orange chicken looked great, but honestly, I'd say Panda Express has more flavor. The chow mein and fried rice were also pretty bland. The chicken with vegetables was okay, nothing special. The highlight for us was definitely the chicken and cilantro dumplings--they were actually really good (which makes sense given the restaurant's name). Overall, it just wasn't for us. Despite the great presentation and atmosphere, the food didn't deliver, and I don't think my family and I would come back. read more

This is my third time at hidden dumpling, and the wor wonton soup is ALWAYS a staple for me, but I try to switch up my other entree. We got the duluxe pan fried noodle and most of the dish was cold, but some spots were warm, and I'm not really sure why? I'd come back, but just stick to the soups and dumplings. Service was good as usual and it was pretty slow as a Wednesday, so getting seating was easy. read more

Their food is absolutely delicious every time! The garlic noodles are a standout menu item.

I am so glad that I decided to order take out via Door Dash. This establishment makes one of the best hot and sour soups. I love that I was able to customize my protein. I added beef to my soup and it was a great addition. It was also perfectly balanced between the sour and the spice. I also tried the pan fried chive pocket. It was still nice and crispy by the time my order was delivered. I love all the toppings, which consisted of shrimp, eggs, chives, and glass noodles. I will certainly dine in on my next visit. read more

A great dumpling house that also serves other Chinese staples in Midtown! This is a more upscale, mid-tier, Chinese restaurant, replacing what once was Lou's Sushi and then Midtown Sushi. While it is a little cramped, there are a few tables outside if you don't mind eating al fresco. The servers are polite and very hardworking managing both the line (usually there is a wait) and the tables. - XLB: delicious and made well but I wouldn't say they are the best in town (See Journey to the Dumpling or Tasty Dumpling) - Pineapple Fried Rice: this is one of my go-tos and I think they make a great one here. Good variety of shrimp and chicken and all the ingredients taste fresh. - Rice Noodles with Chicken: A simple dish, but this place does laud itself on have a lot of gluten free options. Solid, but I wouldn't say it was very memorable. read more

Super busy spot right on the corner of 28th and P. They had about 8-10 tables inside and lots of folks picking up takeout. The wait staff was really nice, checking in often and repeating our order before sending it to the kitchen. Our entrees came out super quick! The dumplings took a little bit longer, but the place was packed for the full 2 hours we were there. I would definitely order from here again read more

Super yummy place my friend introduced me to! I've been here a couple times and have not been disappointed. The first time I came was with my friend and we had the pork shrimp chives dumplings, xiao long bao, and the king pao beef combo plate. I ended up coming back with another friend and tried their spicy garlic green beans and Thai tea. The food is so delicious, it came out quick both times, and the atmosphere was very nice. They have inside and outside seating which is cool especially because they get packed quick. Staff were friendly and attentive and the restaurant is clean and beautiful. Would definitely recommend! read more

I visited recently to try their singaporean noodle dish. It came with bbq pork, chicken, shrimp, onions, scallions, bean sprouts, and egg in a curry noodle stir fry. It was pretty tasty and portion was decently sized! Came with a good amount of meat and tasty flavor. They have a variety of Chinese dishes on the menu I'll have to check out next time. Street parking only and it's on a street corner. Inside is quaint and small with a few tables in a cozy space. Service was q pretty quick. read more

I got the sheng jian bao and they were juicy and fluffy with the perfect crust on the outside. I do wish the dumpling mix had more bright veggies, like carrots, just to bring more flavor. The sesame balls were great. I would get again. read more

Hidden dumping house is a small Chinese restaurant with hand made dumplings and other traditional offerings. Their original location is in Elk Grove, so this midtown location is new and local. Parking can be difficult in this residential area, but the 2 block walk is worth it. We were in the mood for Mongolian beef and shrimp siu mai, a specialty of this establishment. We also added on an order of salt & pepper chicken wings. I usually order the salt & pepper crispy pork with jalapeño's but with chicken is was still delicious! I do like my jalapeños cooked a lil more to bring out the flavor though. Service was friendly, and really busy around 2pm on a Sunday.. filled with local residents and the like. Although the restaurant is small, the seating inside and additional seating outside is efficient and can cater to a lot of people so we were seated and helped right away. They have a tea boba place connected next door that you can order from, the Thai special tea was tasty. We definitely had an awesome lunch date and hope to visit again soon. read more

One of my favorite dim sum/chinese spots downtown, nice quaint no frills restaurant with great food and great portions. My favorite dumpling there is the chicken and cilantro, the general taso chicken is fire too. Must try! read more

Restaurant interior is small but there is outdoor seating as well. The interior is cute and caught my attention. We ordered XLB, honey walnut shrimp, and chow fun with chicken. The portions were huge and it was the perfect amount of food for three people. The flavor of the chow fun was very light and lacking, but I liked the chicken. I wouldn't get the chow fun again because it was plain. The xiao long bao (soup dumplings) are made fresh so it takes a while to come out. The soup dumplings were good but nothing special. We asked for chili oil and it enhanced the flavor. The honey walnut shrimp was yummy and not overly sweet. The servers were busy but made sure to check on us frequently. read more

My go go to dumpling spot in midtown. It a short walking distance from where I work. The owner and her staff are amazing! Sometimes were able to call ahead and they will have out food ready for us on the table.Thats above and beyond any expectations and I really appreciate that. - Wonton soup & hot & sour soup 10/10 - Deep fried crab & cheese wontons 10/10 - Chicken fried rice 10/10 - Eggplant in garlic sauce 10/10 best when ordered dining in - honey walnut shrimp 10/10 - Mongolian beef 10/10 - General chicken 8/10 The chow mein is also good if you're really hungry but I don't like to match it with any of my dishes given that everything is already pretty heavy and greasy. Im not too crazy about the dumplings just because it does take a while to steam since it's made fresh, but if you have time the XLB here is pretty good. Lastly top everything off with their amazing chili oil!! Everything is served pretty much family style so it's alway good to come here with some friends. The restaurant is pretty small but they do have outdoor seating. Parking is very limited given they are on a busy cross street in midtown. The owners have corgis and you can tell they love them because they have soo many cute corgi stickers and decoration inside. You can also expect a nice arrangements of fresh flowers at each table that are sometimes unique. read more

I am a huge fan of their lunch and dinner combos. They have a great deal of options to choose from and they are extremely reasonably priced for the amount of food given. My dinner combo fed me the night of as well as lunch and dinner for the following day! I've had a variety of chicken combos and they have all been delicious. Something that always stands out to me is how fresh the food tastes, especially any vegetables. My absolute favorite dish from here is the honey walnut shrimp which unfortunately is not offered in the combos but worth the splurge to purchase individually. I can easily say I've never had an item from here that I did not enjoy! read more
