    Really good, fresh dumplings. My order came up quickly, the service was friendly and parking is easy. Prices are reasonable and portions generous.

    Order sheet

    I have been meaning to swing by here for quite some time. Yesterday was the day. I was greeted quickly and handed an order sheet and a Sharpie. I selected the pork shrimp mushroom steamed dumplings, pork soup dumplings and BBQ pork buns (whoa, that's a lot of pork!). Each table had an assortment of condiments, including soy sauce, vinegar, red chili paste and Sriracha. Just before my food arrived, a small plate, Asian soup spoon, chopsticks and a small glass of ice water (in a real glass) were delivered to my table. I really appreciate the lack of single-use materials! Next came the two steaming hot baskets of dumplings, quickly followed by the BBQ buns (which unfortunately weren't quite as hot). I dove into the soup dumplings because they're the best, especially steaming hot. There was a generous portion of tasty pork but sadly, not so much soup for a soup dumpling. Still delicious and I ate every last one of them (partly because they're not much good as leftovers). The pork shrimp mushroom steamed dumplings were just OK. I brought most of those home to try again later. Lastly came the BBQ buns. This is one of my all time favorite types of dim sum. The buns themselves were nice and fluffy, with plentiful filling. I just wished they'd had more sauce and were a little warmer. I brought home 2 of the 3 and will give them another chance today for lunch. I was the only customer in the bright and airy dining room the entire time. It was cool to see the lady hand making the dumplings right there at the counter the whole time, too.

    Really delicious dumplings. We ordered takeout and the food was ready within 20 minutes for pickup. Staff was friendly and pickup process was quick. The interior isn't anything too fancy but it's clear the food is made with love. From flavorful pan fried pork and cabbage to savory and rich beef and carrot the dumplings are extremely tasty. Highly recommend for takeout or a quick no-frills meal out.

    Great hole in the wall :) Nothing super fancy. Everything tastes fresh and the service is good. Not incredibly pricey for the quality and what you get.

    Legit dumpling restaurant in Folsom! The restaurant is tucked near Mobil gas station at the busy intersection of Folsom-Auburn Rd. & Folsom Lake Crossing. The older lady made all the dumpling by hand and the guy cooked our order fresh. - pork chives prawn boiled dumpling: my favorite dumplings among other items. The dumpling was hefty with lots of filling. The meat was well seasoned (not too salty). The skin was chewy and soft. - pork celery boiled dumpling: they had lots of filling inside the dumpling. The pork was meaty and delicious. - pork sauerkraut steam dumpling: it was ok because I couldn't really taste the sauerkraut. - pork shrimp mushroom steam dumpling: the filling was delicious! It had umami flavor and the meat was well seasoned. - XLB: good. The soup inside XLB was delicious and the meat was well seasoned. The skin was a bit thicker to accommodate the soup and filling inside but it was soft and chewy. - fried spring roll: it was okay. The skin was crispy. - bbq pork bun: good. The bun was soft and the filling was tasty. My kiddo's favorite - pita burger: it was ok but not our favorite. The pita bread was soft and the burger was ok.

    Tucked into the shops near Chevron sits this quiet Dumpling House. There's a kiosk to order from but the staff suggested to just use the form and check off what you want. We ordered to go and chilled out at a table while they prepared our order. Took about 10 minutes and we e were on our way home. Food was still hot when we opened it and we had all the sauces, napkins and chopsticks needed to gorge. BBQ Pork - 8 Slightly sweet but flavorful. Some fat in the bun. Pork and Cabbage Boiled Dumpling - 9 Super tasty! Even better with soy sauce and malt vinegar dip! Braised Pork Pita Burger - 8 Toasted pita and pork rich in flavor but was a bit salty. We added some lettuce at home to cut the salt. Cabbage might make it amazing. Pork Shrimp and Mushroom Steamed Dumpling - 7 A tad n the fishy tasting side but still good Pork Soup Dumpling (XiaLongBao) 8 - A bit too much dough but the pork is tasty. Not much soup inside. Make sure to use the dipping sauce. Taro Bun - 6 Not a lot of flavor but there is taro up in there. Black Milk Tea 25% sweet - 8 very tea forward and not much sweetness which is a welcome sight as it's so sweet everywhere They were out of black boba though :( There was an odor to the place probably from the steamed food in the dining area that was unappetizing. We'd definitely come back but would get the food to go.

    Everything was delicious!

    A nice small play to have yummy steamed and boiled dumplings. The soup dumplings were so good as well. Definitely returning.

    The dumplings here are amazingly fresh and handmade. Shrimp dumplings were interesting, they had large chunks of shrimp in them which was unexpected but nice. But the steamed pork bao and cucumber salad are must-have's. Service is very fast, though we usually order to-go just because the place is small, and the ambience is more like you're in a kitchen than a restaurant, as you can hear and smell the steamers and fryers as everything is cooking. Great spot to get some comfort food to-go for a reasonable price (around $20 per person).

    It is as if my prayers for handmade dumplings in Folsom were heard by the food gods when this place appeared on the scene. We came on a rainy Saturday morning around opening time; no wait except the time it takes to make delicious dumplings (10 minutes). I grew up in Taiwan so I'm quite used to top tier of this type of food. Both my husband and I came away with happy bellies! We hope they get the popularity they deserve and we will be amongst their supporters!

    I realized a lot of the reviews for this location was for the business that was here prior to the Hometown Dumpling. So if u are reading reviews, keep that in mind. It looks like a family run business, they were all very friendly. The dumplings are made from scratch and were so very good! Their spring rolls were fresh too, we didn't ask if they hand made those as well, but they were better than any other deep fried spring roll we have tried. We will definitely be back to try other items in the menu. It's great that it's close to home as well.

    I went to Tru Bowls hoping for a solid acai bowl or smoothie, but the experience was disappointing…read morefrom start to finish. The smoothie was completely tasteless, like blended ice with almost no fruit flavor or quality ingredients. For the price, it was a big letdown. What made it worse was the owner's reaction when I politely asked whether their smoothie was similar to Hailey Bieber's smoothie from Erewhon. Instead of answering helpfully, he got visibly offended and defensive. He then launched into a claim that Tru Bowls has "been around longer than Erewhon," which came across as rude and irrelevant. (For the record, Erewhon has been operating since 1966. Tru Bowls has not been around nearly that long.) Relax, Champ, even from a girl, you are spun way too tight! The combination of a flavorless drink and unnecessarily rude service ruined the visit. I won't be returning and can't recommend Tru Bowls to anyone. There are many better acai and smoothie options in the area that actually deliver on taste and basic customer service. Very disappointing.

Service was friendly, and the staff member working was kind and helpful in answering questions. My biggest disappointment was that this location didn't offer the vanilla or chocolate soft serve flavors that I've come to expect at other Pressed Juicery spots. When I asked, I was told they don't serve those options and that the protein shakes are essentially the same flavors, just not frozen. Unfortunately, it just didn't hit the same way I was hoping for, and I left a bit disappointed. I didn't feel like venturing to another location afterward, so while it wasn't a bad experience overall, it definitely didn't deliver the treat I was looking forward to.

I ordered the vanilla soft serve with granola, almond butter, and blueberries and my husband got his with gummy bears, blueberries, and almond butter. The soft serve is so refreshing and light!--A little icy. For 140 calories it still tastes very indulgent, which was perfect for after Thanksgiving. Service was fast and helpful and our server was sweet enough to give our toddlers little cups of the goji berries. We will definitely be returning!

There's another grocery store that's five minutes from my house, but I drive the 20 minutes to shop here because the overall experience is so much better.

I've been to other stores where I've stood at a counter for literally 5 minutes, watching employees going out of their way to not acknowledge me. That never happens here. Then I was really taken aback by how the peppers and mushrooms were displayed. The fact that whoever stocked these mushrooms took the time to turn every mushroom cap side up and arranged all the portobellos the way they are speaks to a dedication to quality work. You can tell that in this store, nobody half-asses anything, and the employees take pride in what they do.

Nope. Only had one item to place in the bag. Sooo. Since it was none of the above, I pressed the get help button. Mainly to see if I was just supposed to forgo the plastic bag part. The kiosk instructed me to wait for an associate and the red light came on. No one came over to help. Had to extend the time on the kiosk 2x. Finally, a RUDE worker came over to let me know that his "preference" was for me to go to the service counter. No apologies for the long wait or lack of signage or instructions to go to the desk. There was no signage stating that employees prefer customers to come to the desk instead of waiting at the kiosk. As a first-time customer, I followed the kiosk's instructions, which told me to wait for an associate.

Jayden actually helped guide me through a handcrafted experience with both the food and Kava. He was welcoming, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what Blend offers.
