How amazing is that they opened a pot sticker restaurant next door! Today, we parked a few blocks down and walked through Swan Market as we slowly passed the dumplings, we had to do a double-take, and all of a sudden, I was craving dumplings. But we came to Chinatown to get my favorite Huangcheng Chongqing street noodles, so we had to go there first. We found out that since the restaurants are related, they could order dumplings for us, and we could remain sitting in the restaurant. Thank goodness we had an amazing waitress who also remembered us. Awesome service!! I loved the hot dipping sauce! next time, will try the pork potstickers. read more

Delicious! The dumplings here are small, with roughly 20 per order, and packed with flavor. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This food stall, located in Swan Market in Old Oakland, was a fantastic addition to a previously empty space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seating is first-come, first-served.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking can be a bit tricky since it's mostly street parking, but there's a lot a few blocks away, as well as a paid garage at the convention center. While they offer other menu items, their specialty lies in dumplings. I also purchased a mason jar of their chili oil--it's a smoky, spicy burst of flavor! The staff here is super friendly! Support local! Let's help these small businesses thrive. read more

Another food adventure at a relatively new restaurant. I love pan fried potstickers and dumplings so a friend and I saw this restaurant on one of our trips to Chinatown. We happened to park by the old Housewives Market and walked through the restaurants. We saw Huangcheng Potstickers. We decided to try an order of steamed dumplings and an order of fried dumplings. Both dumplings were good but they don't have very much seasoning. I'm not a sauce guy so I thought the dumplings were good but not my taste. My friend thought the sauce gave it flavor but wasn't to his taste either. It could be that Shanxi style cooking is an acquired taste. The fried dumplings were good but didn't have any crisp to them so we probably should have ordered the fried potstickers. We both will try the restaurant again but will try the potstickers on our next trip. We both thought the dumplings were 3 stars and another star for customer staff. The staff were very polite and quick to take your order. I rated them a generous 4 stars and will update my review after my next trip. New restaurants are always worth a try. If you like Shanxi cooking, definitely give this place a try. read more

The pork potstickers are the best! Shrimp are amazing as well! You can buy them frozen to keep in your freezer too, we always have some for guests or when we need a snack. Definitely the best fresh potstickers especially when served with their chili sauce. You'll be hooked, we are! And everyone else we recommend to try the restaurant. You can order in their sit down restaurant around the corner Huancheng Noodles. read more

HuangCheng potstickers, located inside the Swans Market, offers Oaklanders another tasty option to their line up of fast-casual restaurants and eateries. Similar to their first restaurant - HuangCheng Noodle House, you can expect fresh hand-made offerings (dumplings, potstickers, and pickled cucumbers) that is made to order. Their dumplings and potstickers are bite-sized and you get 18 pieces for each order (about ~$1 per dumpling). I was curious about trying their Chicken Curry, but decided to try out their dumplings and potstickers, as the other 4 reviews have focused on. The menu was very simple and our order was ready in that 5-7 minute that was quoted. Although tasty, my dumplings did not have much of a satisfying 'bite' as there wasn't any crunch or texture. The potstickers offered a crispiness, as it was lightly fried, but the filling wasn't as warm as the dumplings. I do wish that they had combination (shrimp, pork, and chives), as that would elevate the umami and add a bit of extra texture to the dumplings. read more

Huangcheng potstickers are the newest restaurant to Swan's Market. They make house made dumplings. The potstickers are pan fried with a crispy texture and the dumplings are steamed. We ended up ordering steamed pork dumplings - the sauce on the side with the house made chili sauce was so tasty. The dumplings maybe be small but they do give you 18 pieces, which I thought was great. The dumplings here were DELICIOUS. I can't wait to come back for more! read more

WTH? I was excited to try this place. Ordered the boiled shrimp dumplings. First bite... filled with a room-temperature wet paste/slurry that had a slightly gritty texture and no distinguishable flavor. Opened two more dumplings to find the same. Brought them back assuming they weren't cooked through. The kitchen staff tossed the cut dumplings and scraped the remaining uneaten dumplings off my plate back into the boiling water. A few minutes later, I got them back, and they were now a hot paste/slurry in a very mushy wrapper. Never had anything like it. Chili sauce was great. Huh. read more

Newly open just few months ago. The menu is very limited. The potstick is badly made. The shape doesn't look like a potsticker. Each potsticker isn't pan fried enough. Look and taste uncooked. I ordered a shrimp potsticker. The tatse is terrible. read more

Me and my brah AJ just yeeted ourselves into Huang Cheng Potsticker and got insta-teleported to Flavortown.. The crew flips the skillet and--BAM--this lacy, golden potsticker UFO lands, crispier than burnt bacon. Pork dumplings explode with garlicky ginger heat; the shrimp ones slap harder than a surprise For You Page drop, all ocean-fresh and juicy. Wrappers are thinner than my willpower but still keep that steamy lava contained. A dunk in their soy-vinegar lightning, a drizzle of chili crisp, and suddenly we're riding a savory tsunami straight to "chef's kiss" heaven. Two rounds demolished--next visit we're bringing sweatpants and zero chill. Werk. read more

Great food and service! Love coming here. Can eat at noodle shop and order dumplings on side.

Huangcheng Noodle House is already a delicious staple in the Old Oakland community so I was excited when they branched out and opened a potstickers spot. I came down during my lunch break and tried the pork and shrimp dumplings. For those who don't know: potstickers are pan fried, dumplings are boiled. I was too busy looking at my phone while eating and when I looked down, all 18 dumplings were gone. They were so addictive and delicious when paired with their sauce. Will definitely add this to my lunch rotation! read more

Tried both of the potsticker options and wow! Quantity is incredible, and the flavor is fantastic! Definitely loved the pork filled option more, but you can't go wrong either way! Definitely would come back when in Oakland again read more

I love my Huang Cheng sticker and pin set! The design by Felicia Chiao is super cute and really captures the spirit of Huang Cheng Noodle House. The vinyl sticker is high quality, with vibrant colors and durable material -- it looks amazing on my laptop. The enamel pin is sturdy and beautifully made, perfect for my bag. What makes it even better is knowing that the proceeds supported a local Chinatown business. It's such a meaningful and well-made collectible. I wish I had grabbed more before they sold out!" read more

The noodle masters from Huangcheng Noodle House just opened this dumpling stand inside Swan Market. If you've eaten at their noodle house, you know that they do not disappoint. The dumplings and potstickers are absolutely delicious! Completely handmade, including the dough like their noodles, the dumplings are distinctive (perhaps Shanxi style?) and super flavorful. I love that their dumplings are not oversized, and the skin is just the right thickness. We tried both dumplings and potstickers, the shrimp ones and pork ones, and were super impressed. Another highlight is their homemade hot sauce, vinegary and not greasy, perfect for the dumplings. The cucumber salad is also good. Really love their dumplings and very happy to see this place in Swan Market. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The people are super nice, the space is really great, and food is superb.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely be back for more! read more

Delicious handmade potstickers! The portion size was generous, and the filling juicy and savory. Of course, we already know Huangcheng's famous chili sate, which pairs perfectly with the potstickers. We got both the boiled and pan fried versions, and enjoyed both. Also a surprising hit was the cucumber salad! read more

Huangcheng potstickers - My daughter enjoying the shrimp potsticker. - Dim Sum Near Me - Oakland, California

Don't sleep on the potstickers--seriously. I came for the noodles (which are amazing), but the potstickers completely stole the show. Perfectly crispy on the bottom, soft and chewy on top, and packed with juicy, flavorful filling. You can tell they're made with care--not those frozen kind you find at other places. They came out fresh and hot, with just the right balance of meat, veggies, and seasoning. Dipped in their house sauce? Next-level. I ended up ordering a second plate because they were that good. If you go to Huangcheng Noodle House and don't try the potstickers, you're missing out on a star of the menu. Total must-have! read more

18 pot stickers per order and a loyalty card! Recommended, along with their noodle place next door

Really delicious dumplings with great texture. The spicy sauce isn't too spicy; just flavorful. Had the hot chili oil cucumbers and the spicy sauce for the dumplings and would 100% order again. Service was very kind and attentive. Want this place to succeed :) read more

Greatest sauce ever concocted, sweet owners, and speedy delivery. The noodles and dumplings were great would recommend the D1.

We ordered the shrimp dumplings and the pork potstickers. We loved both. The spicy chile sauce that comes with them is delicious. Has a bit of the numbing effect, and the right amount of a ginger kick too. Well balanced. Each plate came with 18 dumplings. We ate them very quickly. The people working there were very nice too. read more

Potstickers were excellent. Service was attentive and friendly. I asked for vinegar with my potstickers, which they gave me. When I ran out of vinegar, they gave me some more. I had the pork potstickers, pan-friend. Overall, a very good experience. I'm looking forward to going back. read more
