The food was amazing! We will come back. We loved the food and the service was also good. We felt pretty comfortable and we got a good view of the kitchen so we can see how they cook. read more

I just grabbed some takeout and was greeted by the nicest man! The food was very reasonably priced for the portions they gave me and I got extra sauce as well. Would definitely recommend the dumplings, potstickers, and beef pancakes. Thanks to them, my belly is full and I even have leftovers! read more

Daughter was craving for soup dumplings and came across this restaurant on Yelp. Ordered Togo: Shanghai soup dumplings, cucumbers salad, vegetarian dumplings, and bean curd noodle salad. I think soup dumplings are not best when ordered for a pick up. It was warm and the soup was either on the bottom of the container or it was not juicy so the experience was not the best. Veggie dumplings were not good. I think it was minced cabbage. Cucumbers salad and the bean curd noodles salad was too salty for our liking. Not sure if I would order this again in the future but I would give it another try if I'm in the area. Daughter was hungry so forgot to take photos of the food :( read more

My favorites are chicken spinach dumplings, chicken and corn dumplings Need to explore more. All the sauces are hilarious. read more

Was a bit disappointing, but to preface I ordered delivery. Judging by ratings, I opted for I Dumpling but I think dumplings here aren't too hot. Shanghai Soup Dumpling - thick, firm dough on the outside but the inside contents are not bad. Solid soup and meat filling inside. A classic xiao long bao. Dough was difficult to work with though. Chicken Dumpling with Spinach - might as well be a spinach dumpling. There was little to no chicken with each bite. Like above, the dough was firm and tough to chew. Beef Pan Cake - I thought this would be more like a beef pancake roll (牛肉捲餅) but it's literally a large beef patty fried like a deep fried pancake. I mean it was a solid item in this batch but still could've been better. read more

I love iDumpling. Kind of a family-run, hole in the wall place with good food. Unpretentious. My favorite restaurant in RWC.

After a long hiatus, I Dumplings was due for a visit. I should say that the last time I visited, the Xiao Long Bao tasted a bit off and it left a bad taste in my mouth - no pun intended. I've frequented the place quite a bit because I did like the food but that one incident was the reason for the hiatus. Fast forward a few years, and with a hungering desire for some XLBs, it was time to pay a revisit. This time everything tasted great and definitely satisfied the XLB cravings. The skin in on the thicker side with a very thick dough ball at the top where they pinch them close. I know, First World problem, and I shouldn't call out this ridiculous "point" but it kinda takes away from the delicateness of a XLB, in my opinion. Overall, a tasty dough ball filled with juicy protein. Also ordered the beef stew noodle soup (not a fan of gristle) and Taiwanese-style stewed pork rice bento. The bento had disproportionately too much rice. The menu offers "Home Style" dim sum, handmade dumplings, and typical Taiwanese cold side dishes. Prices are affordable and the place is not very large, but it can definitely fill your desires for some Taiwanese food. read more

We just recently tried their frozen dumplings, and they are really good! We came back and ordered four bags - pork and cabbage, shrimp and pork. Super convenient to cook a pack as a fast, kid friendly meal. We previously drove to Fremont to get Bings, but we prefer these. read more

We ordered Shanghai soup dumplings, green chive pancakes, pork dumpling with Napa cabbage, pork dumpling with green chive, pork and shrimp dumpling with green chives, pork dumpling with cilantro, and vegetarian dumpling. Everything came out quickly as ordered. The green chive pancakes were on the oily end. The dumplings had a thicker wrap that I prefer. They seem to be made in house! I thought the soup dumplings could be more flavorful as well. It was able to fulfill the dumpling craving! I would come back and try the other items on the menu. read more

I came here with my family on Christmas Eve morning because we were craving dim sum. First off, the restaurant itself is a tiny hole in the wall space on Broadway Street but it looked like they took over the space next door for additional seating. Nothing fancy or flashy, kind of something you'd expect in Chinatown. The service itself was ok, not the friendliest but very typical Asian restaurant service where they're very straightforward (I'm Asian and encounter this all the time). We ordered the Shanghai Soup Dumplings, Green Onion Pancakes, salt and pepper tofu, wonton soup, lamb dumplings, and the pork and shrimp dumplings. My favorite dishes were the soup dumplings and the SP tofu, which was super crispy on the outside and soft and silky on the inside. The green onion pancakes were pretty oily and all the dumplings kinda just tasted the same after awhile. The wonton soup were just the wontons in a light broth, nothing super special and the wontons tasted exactly like the other dumplings. I know they hand-make the dough and noodles in house which is cool but they were a little too thick for my liking. Maybe I'm just not used to Taiwanese style of dim sum/dumplings but I'd probably only come back for the soup dumplings. read more

First time at iDumpling and I was pleasantly surprised. I wasn't expecting much going into it but was good. The service was nice and food came out fast. The soup dumplings were good size and held up well. 6 per order. The cabbage and pork dumplings were plump and juicy. Definitely handmade. The beef noodle soup had nice flavor and plenty of noodles. Parking is tough but there's parking in the back. read more

We enjoyed this restaurant, the tendon soup was delicious. Long boa was pretty good. Overall it's a decent neighborhood place.

Chicken and corn dumplings! Chicken and corn dumplings! Attention: this is the place to go in town for dumplings because their chicken and corn dumplings are fantastic! They have other dumplings, of course. Good ones. But my favorite ones are my favorite ones for a reason. read more

I Dumpling - Chinese Near Me - Redwood City, California

Came here as a group of 5 friends on a Thursday night and the restaurant is pretty small but it got packed up. The menu is really reasonably priced but the food itself was so so and lacked flavor overall. We got soup dumplings and a few others dumplings as well, along with the meat pancake, fried rice, and chow mein. The dumpling dough was a bit too thick and the soup dumplings didn't have much soup in it lol. The other items were pretty good but nothing extraordinary. They have a house chili oil that was super good though! read more

We've been regular customers since the restaurant opened, ordering the same grilled chicken bentos for takeout every couple of weeks, sometimes w Xiao long bao or other sides. Haven't had problems w chicken availability for many years now so wanted to update and return the stars. Love this place!! read more

We came here for a quick lunch! It's a very SMALL place, but if they had the door open, it's not too bad with the air circulation! We had the following dishes: Shanghai soup dumplings - juicy but very small and the skin is a little thicker than normal! Pork dumpling with Chives - it's the perfect one bite size and very juicy and tasty. Beef Tendon Noodle Soup - they soup was tasty but I think it had a lot of msg in it! The beef tendons were very fat, not as chewy as I like it and the noodles were kinda mushy if you let it sit too long. Overall, the taste is ok and the price is reasonable! read more

I Dumpling is so delicious. When I used to live or work nearby, I came here often. It was always good and I've introduced many people to it. Now it's a 30ish min drive but we haven't been able to find any restaurant as good. Tonight we made the trek to celebrate a birthday and it was as tasty as ever. Definitely worth the drive. We'll be back soon. Why keep trying new places when this is clearly the best. read more

I have been coming here for years and it is still a family favorite. Their tree ear mushroom with cucumber is really tasty. And their vegetarian dumplings and potstickers are incredible. They are well made and extremely prompt. They also opened a new area for business and have so much more seating which is fantastic!! It's right by the Caltrain station as well which is so convenient. read more

I Dumpling has been on my list for quite a while. To my surprise, I was pretty disappointed with my experience yesterday. Upon arriving to the restaurant, I noticed it was very small and had little seating. My friend and I were the second party to arrive at 6:40pm on a Friday night. I wondered how does this restaurant has four stars on Yelp when it wasn't busy at all. I shrugged it off and thought, maybe it's quiet because we're still in COVID times. We were really looking forward to ordering Xiao Long Bao and we were so surprised to hear that they didn't have any! This is the most popular item on their menu. How do they not have any, especially on a Friday night?! That did not deter us away though. We decided to order the Tree Ear Mushrooms with Cucumbers, Pork Dumplings with Chives, Pork Pot Stickers, and Beef Tendon Noodle Soup to share. Here's my review for all the dishes: Wood Ear Mushrooms with Cucumbers - Very plain (garlic and what I think is a light mixture of vinegar and light soy sauce?). I can't believe this was $6.95. They're really profiting on this. Avoid ordering this. Pork Dumplings with Chive - Decent. It could use a little more seasoning but was one of the better dishes that we ordered. Pork Pot Stickers - Pan fried perfectly and it was tasty. Beef Tendon Noodle Soup - Shockingly bland. Good amount of noodles that tasted fresh but it didn't hit the spot at all. We had to add fried chili oil to add flavor. On top of the disappointing food, one of the workers at the back came up to us and asked my friend to quiet down because she was laughing too loud. There was only one other party (table of 2) in the restaurant, of course she may sound loud because there's nothing in the restaurant to absorb the sound. Not only did this kill our mood, but when a few more parties arrived (which I have to say, the noise level inside the restaurant overall was much louder than us), we saw they were able to order Xiao Long Bao. I thought you ran out? How did more appear? It could be that the person that makes it didn't arrive yet... but we arrived at 6:40pm on a Friday night... The only thing that's keeping me from giving I Dumpling one star is our waitress who was really nice. She checked on us multiple times so we really appreciated it that. So all in all, if you don't mind average food and questionable service from the back kitchen, this may or may not be your place. read more

We've wanted to try this place for a while, but because of its location on the corner of Broadway and El Camino, we only ever saw it in passing until recently. I'm glad we finally got to come in! We tried their Pork Dumpling with Napa Cabbage, Beef Noodle Soup, and Xiao Long Bao. The pork dumplings were my favorite of them, since they had really well seasoned fillings and wrappers with a slight bit of chew even after being boiled. The soup was definitely tasty, with a nice kick that came after each bite of the beef or noodles and a balanced level of the medicinal spices. But, since I'm more used to Taiwanese-style beef noodle soup, it wasn't my favorite that I've had in this area. The xiao long bao were good, though the wrappers were a bit thick, particularly compared to the 'gold standard' of Din Tai Fung. All-in-all, I really enjoyed the experience eating in here. It reminded me (in a good way) of small restaurants in New York, with that hole-in-the-wall vibe that works well for them. Plus, their prices are so reasonable -- especially for the quantity of food you get! read more

I Dumpling - Pork Dumplings with Napa Cabbage (7/10). Each order has 12, which sounds like a lot, but isn't, since they're on the smaller side. - Chinese Near Me - Redwood City, California

Love the pork and shrimp dumpling and the beef noodle stew and can't forget the string beans! Staff is also very friendly!

the service - sub-par. the ambiance, definitely a whole in the wall, but the food made up for all of that.

The dumplings were awesome! We tried a variety of them since we came in a big group, and everything was great. Our fav are the pork and cabbage and the chive with shrimp. We especially love the pork potstickers. The sesame balls were also yummy and great as dessert. Parking wasn't too bad, even though we came on Saturday during lunch hour. The shop is a hole in the wall, but don't let this fool you! The food here is great! That's what you're here for. We will come back to get some take out frozen dumplings next time we're around the neighborhood. read more

Great pig ears,wood ear mushroom and cucumber and assorted dumplings all great service was fast

Service is good here, please don't come here for the Ambiance. Instead, this home style establishment has been local stable for over a decade and has recently expanded its size to accommodate for more patrons. I've always enjoyed its simple traditional Shanghai style dishes and quick service to deliver. Prices surprisingly are still pre pandemic competitive. Amazing for the value, quality and quantity provided. read more

Kids were craving dumplings from Din Tai Fung so I thought I'd order from the place closest to us. The XLBs skin was thicker than Din Tai Fung so my kids didn't eat all 24 of the dumplings I ordered. I was hoping they would eat 20 as they normally do. The flavor was good but the skin was too thick. Chicken fried rice - Delicious. This dish was all gone. Garlic Bok Choy - Since I wanted to order some veggies and usually don't eat Bok Choy, I'd thought I would order it. It was decent. Not too greasy Potstickers - Decent Pork with cabbage dumplings - Ok Won ton noodle soup - decent. I wanted some soup Yes, once again I ordered too much food. The only bad thing was lots of things spilled in my to go order. read more

Ordered delivery and the dumplings came with no sauce. I've NEVER received dumplings without a sauce. I was staying in a hotel, so I didn't have soy sauce either, so this was just one of my saddest dumpling experiences. The pork & shrimp dumplings were pretty good, but dumplings NEED a sauce. I also asked for hot sauce/oil and didn't get that either. read more

I ordered Shanghai soup dumplings and chicken chow mien for delivery. I requested the delivery to the back door, it was delivered to the front door. They were supposed to text me upon delivery...never got a text. The dumplings were just okay and the chow mien was awful. Don't think I'll ever return!!! read more

Inconsistent. A significant drop in energy. On a Saturday night, this place used to be hopping. When we got our food we understood why the dining room was quiet. Mushy noodles in the noodle soup. The soup lacked flavor and richness. Chive pancakes that weren't completely warmed up inside with undercooked doughy parts on the outside. Like dumplings? They continue to provide reason to visit. Sad. We once really loved this place since discovering it more than 10 years ago. read more

Great dumplings! Great food! Host wasn't so friendly but he was attentive- may have been owners son.

This is a homey style place where the focus is on the food. The dumpling and pies are very close to a quality Taiwanese joint. I believe the dumplings are hand rolled. Skip the eggrolls. read more

Service was top notch. Food was great. Mango Dessert... so yummmy. I will pay another visit with my fam bam..

I was very disappointed. I got 4 things and half of that was disappointing or inedible. The wonton soup broth was just water and chili oil and the spicy beef slices were not spicy at all and cold as if they were stored in the fridge. They give no description for ingredients, luckily there were no allergens present. Their dumplings and chow mien were delicious I just hope they can improve their other items. read more

We were in the area and wanted to eat dumplings. We've been here before and enjoyed it so we decided to come back. There was plenty of street parking and parking was free after 6pm. We got lucky and we were seated right away. It's a small place so a few minutes after we were seated, a line started to form. The pork dumplings with chives was our favorite. The dumpling wraps are on the thicker side. Last time we got the pork dumplings with Napa cabbage it was great, but this time it was a bit dry. The Kung Pao chicken was disappointing, definitely won't be getting it next time. The bathroom was dirty as other reviews have mentioned. Service is ok, not very attentive. The prices for their dumplings are very reasonable. read more

Ordered through Uber eats . Unfortunately there were no chopsticks or condiments ! :( Chicken and Spinach Dumplings were a 3/5. Good but something about them turned me off ! They had high ratings on Uber eats. Chow Mein vegetarian was ok . 3.5/5 The noodles felt slightly doughy? Vegetarian potstickers 5/5! I'd get again for sure. I'd give them a second go and hope they have condiments and Chop sticks next time ! read more

My first time here and my first eating pig ears! The pig ears were in a vinegar sauce that was subtle and not overpowering. Tender and crunchy texture. The green onion complemented the pig nicely. XLB was great and nice homestyle taste. Juicy center and nice amount of meat. Broccoli was super delicious! I haven't had a good broccoli dish in awhile and the flavor was very memorable. The dumplings were average to me but still a good eat here. Service was fast and friendly. read more
