I truly wanted to enjoy and support this restaurant, but unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. Crab & Pork Soup Dumpling and Chive & Pork Pan-Fried Dumpling: The dumpling filling lacked flavor for my taste, and the wrapper was thicker and chewier than I prefer. Chili Wonton: Like the dumplings, this dish was also underwhelming. Despite being in chili oil, it didn't deliver the bold flavors I was hoping for. I found this dish particularly disappointing. Honey Walnut Shrimp: This was one of the better dishes, but the sauce was too heavy on the mayonnaise for my liking. I wouldn't order it again. Salted Egg Fried Wings: By far, the standout dish. The wings were perfectly cooked--crispy on the outside, tender on the inside--and I loved the salted egg sauce. I just wish there had been more of it on the side! Overall, while the service was decent, I wouldn't return. That said, the environment is clean and pleasant, though the space can get crowded since it's not very large. read more

Excellent food. Kung Pao Dumplings, scallion pancakes, and passion fruit iced tea. Service was quick and friendly. Tables had vinegar, soy sauce, and chili oil. I was given a cold carafe of water, even though I was a table of one. Ambiance was just right for lunch. I really enjoyed watching the streaming food preparation on the TV. Beautiful dishes spanning from dumplings to desserts. Music playing to drown out other tables conversations, but not too loud or fast paced. Thank you!! read more

Decided to stop by here on a whim after getting a tattoo in the neighborhood. My partner and I loved the name "Hungry Dumpling." We ordered the wontons in chili oil, the kung Pao chicken dumplings, the scallion pancake, and the shumai. The shumai and the scallion pancake were our favorites- the shumai were juicy and savory and the scallion pancakes were so crispy! Would highly recommend trying this place out. read more

New Dumpling spot alert (and so much more)! Must try this new neighborhood spot that just opened on Hawthorne. So happy we stumbled across some delicious, juicy soup dumplings (Pork XLB) cooked to perfection. Great spot for lunch and dinner. We also ordered the cucumber salad to start which was so refreshing, scallion pancakes a great appetizer, stir fry string beans and the salted egg yolk chicken wings which had the perfect crunch! Chicken wings a must have. We've literally been here 3 times in a week! They open till 11pm which is rare here. This our new favorite, friendly neighborhood spot. P.S - Their table chili sauce was so tasty as an add on to all the food. read more

Hungry Dumpling House was perfect for a cold and rainy night. I ordered the wonton soup with chicken wontons and spring rolls (I ate one before I took the picture) as well as a hot green tea. Everything came out hot and delicious. Service was great and there was very little waiting for food or drinks, when I was there. One waitress was doing it all and she was incredibly efficient! The next time I'm in town, I will definitely order the soup dumplings. read more

Good costumer service! Would 100% recommend dining in over ordering for a better experience.

Took a chance on Google maps and found this place. Not disappointed in the least! Everything we had was very good! The Wontons in chili oil though were the best! 10/10 will be back 6 hours after 1st post: Ok, so I had to come back after eating everything we had ordered and make sure I still agreed with my review. I still 100% agree and more. I'm already telling friends and family about this place. As it is still in soft opening I hope it sticks around! Not only was the food very flavorful, the staff was friendly, hopeful, and had really good recommendations. read more

Excited that this new dumpling spot is in my neighborhood, literally could walk to it if I wanted to. The space is clean and open, showing Chinese TV programs on the walls, so gave it a real homey vibe. The service is great and friendly. For the food, the classic XLB soup dumplings were a bit dumpy looking when they came out, but I did like the fragrant subtle flavor of the broth, so it put it on par to some of the other XLBs in town. I had the cucumber salad, and it was fresh and crunchy, using the smashed cucumber style. I usually would order spicy won tons, but instead I was intrigued by the kung pao chicken dumplings. They were alright although the flavors didn't remind me of kung pao chicken. I think next time I'd just go with the classic chili won tons. A second time I came for lunch and was interested in the pickled mustard greens noodle soup. Classic mustard greens noodle soup I've had usually has shredded pork, but instead this felt like their hometown style version that started with pickled mustard greens but came with a whole bunch of other things like fish balls, beef slices, quail eggs and SPAM. The rice noodles were a bit overcooked for my taste, but overall it was interesting and pretty filling with all the toppings. The friendly service and decent food make this a great neighborhood spot. I would steer away from some of the gimmicky things like the kung pao chicken dumplings and stick with classic dishes like pork XLB. read more

Everything here was so wonderful, I couldn't help but over order. Great and fast service as well. The Devil Mala Spicy noodle was my favorite, a rice noodle in a perfectly acceptable spicy broth with pork and quail egg. The portion is huge! . The Kung Pao Chicken dumpling, is a chicken dumpling in a sweet, tho not overly so, Kung Pao sauce. The Shui Mei was fresh and bursting with flavor. Can't wait to come back with friends and order more. read more

I've been here a few times now, these photos are of the first time, so some of the menu items have changed. Each time I've taken other people and we have all enjoyed the food! Prices are fair, as I know some dim sum can run expensive. Clean and simple space, kind staff. I've seen it full most times I've gone as well. Parking is easy for Hawthorne which I appreciate. I will continue going back! My favorites are the wontons in chili oil, pork XLB, cucumber salad, scallion pancakes, and the chow mein. read more

This place was phenomenal! Our fam enjoyed every item we ordered. We tried the cucumber salad and salt yolk wings to start, then the steamed mushroom dumplings, the wontons in chili oil, and the pork and pork chive pan fried dumplings. All were delicious! Finished our meal with the sesame balls and steamed egg yolk buns. The entire meal was made fresh and cooked perfectly. The service was also excellent - friendly and prompt. We can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu! read more

Great food, elegant ambiance, and very attentive hostess/waitress. We were greeted immediately upon entry and shown our seating. The waitress, (who was also the hostess and bartender) gave us some suggestions on what drinks to start us off with and her appetizer suggestions. She took our food order quickly and our food was brought out quickly(but not toooooo quickly). We were given tips on which sauces would taste best with which dumplings and over all we had a great time. Everything we ordered was delicious but by far the scallion pancakes were the best I've ever had. I've not been fan of them before but I ate these and would order again! read more

My friend and I visited the Hungry Dumpling House last night for dinner. It is a fairly small venue, but great for a meal with a few friends or family members. It was our first visit, and it did not disappoint! We came to try the dumplings and decided on ordering the Chive Pork Steamed Dumplings which came as an order of 8 dumplings and the Har Gow (shrimp) which came as an order of 4 pieces. They were both delicious! We also ordered the Garlic Bok Choy as our vegetable, and it was a generous sized portion, garlicky, and very good. We were torn about ordering an additional item, but our server recommended the Salted Egg Yolk Wings. We were both appreciative of her suggestion after trying the perfectly crunchy and salty coating and tender chicken wings. Yum! Our very sweet and attentive server also offered more dumpling suggestions if we decided to return. We will definitely come back to this inviting restaurant. read more

Order took a while to come because they first processed our order wrong, gave someone's to go order to us and then took it away and then second time to replace our order they gave our crab XLB to another table that came later. When we were done with our first 1/2 of meal and inquired about our remaining dish, we were told chef made the wrong order so the wok had pork one and we'll have to wait another 7-10 minute for our crab one. At this time we've already sat and waited and dined for past 30 minutes so it was a bit disappointing. Then we see the table behind us asked why they were given crab XLB when they ordered pork and the staff apologized to them. I think if they had just been honest about the mistake it would've have more sense but since this is 2nd mistake in our order, just felt disappointed. They gave us the pork one that was done first (the other tables order) while we waited for our actual crab XLB to cook, more disappointing to see some of them broke open as the essence is the steaming hot soup in XLB. Have to say staffing wise there's only one person taking order and bringing dishes out, so hopefully in time they'll be better at servicing and quicker pace. Also would be good if the other staff in kitchen comes out to help her with cleaning and upkeep in the dining area as most tables are needed clean up done so you can be standing waiting around for 3-4 tables to be cleaned at once. Would overall it was worth a try and still have other established businesses as options in mind when i'm craving for XLB. read more

Was ok. Chicken chow mien was tasty. Rest was just ok. Both wife and kid said to skip. Sometimes places don't click with your tastes.

I keep coming back. Dine in or take out, good for groups, shareable plates. Try it all. This is my fourth time here. My new favorite spot in Portland when I get a craving for dumplings, noodles, or general Tzo's chicken. read more

Fast service for semi-full restaurant during their soft grand opening period on a Sunday. The waiter was knowledgeable about the dishes and responses were clear. The waiter was very family friendly as we had a baby stroller to navigate with and they had the space for it. Our baby was a little playful with the waiter. Comments on dishes below: *The pork tonkotsu ramen had a flavorful broth with some depth. The pork was juicy. We would order this again. *The crab & pork XLB soup dumplings were a bit saltier than expected compared to other dumplings we had at other restaurants. The dough shell/wrap was not as paper-thim as Din Tai Fung so you taste a bit more dough, but it was still thinner than some other dumpling places around town. Good but not great. *The pan seared chive pork was great! The sear they did on the dumpling was well-executed. The filling was moist with punches of chive flavor. Our table loved it. *The wonton in chili oil at its base is not spicy, which we appreciated so we could control the level of spicy with the additional chili sauce provided at the table. Some members made it spicier for their portion while others liked it as it. Generous amounts of dumplings were given for the price point of $12. *The calamari rings were surprisingly done well and generous in proportion for $10. The fried shell was tasty with only some exterior portions a little saltier than others. The calamari meat was tender and easy to chew. Our party enjoyed munching on this dish as we waited for the entrees. We would order the dish again. read more

A little hot or miss, but overall solid eats. We loved the spicy popcorn chicken, scallion pancakes, and pork XLB -- we were impressed that the XLB held up for pickup and were tastier than any other *takeout* XLB we've tried in Portland. The fried rice and bok choy were both a little less flavorful than we'd like, but I doctored them up for a followup meal and they were great. read more

First time here and we stumbled upon it by chance. From the moment we entered the place the customer service was impeccable and superb. The hostess was very attentive to our needs and made sure our experience was a success. The food was top notch, especially not having been open for that long it's already starting out very strong. Highly recommend the salted egg yolk chicken wings they are so crispy and tasty without being too much. The Xiao long Bao was also very well prepared especially dipped in some black vinegar. All the side dishes were great as well. Honestly no complaints and would come again in the future! read more

Walked in with my partner on a whim and we are so glad we did!! The dumplings were absolutely satisfying and delicious! Service was excellent! And the ambiance peaceful :) We ordered the Shui Mai, Kung Pao Chicken Sauced dumplings, and the Pan Seared Chive Pork! Our absolute favorite was the Shui Mai! (We even ordered a second set of those later!) If I had any feedback to give the restaurant, it would be a preference for a little more pork in the pork to chive ratio, otherwise such a good spot! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for really good dumplings in the area!! read more

Rainy ramen Saturday with a side of pork dumpling. Lovely service. Really hit the spot.

Our stop for lunch here was spontaneous, and the experience was perfect! We tried so many items - they were packed with flavor!!

We were very excited to watch the Hungry Dumpling getting built out. The anticipation was almost overwhelming, and they did not disappoint. We were in the door as soon as they had their soft opening and have been back many times for lunch and dinner. The dumplings are delicious as are the other menu items. Standouts for me are the Katsu Chicken Curry and the Tan Tan noodles. Emily and the rest of the staff are working hard to get everything up and running and provide great service. We are so happy to welcome them to the neighborhood! read more
