    Soft opening
    Douglas Y.

    Most of the bad reviews for this location were from the soft/grand opening period much like my own review. I am glad to say the food was vastly improved today. Tasty Dumpling isn't 5 stars but they are good. I ordered the following items: Pork XLB $12.95 delicious Chicken and corn steamed dumplings $11.95 meh wouldn't order again Garlic green beans $12.95 good flavor but beans were a little tough. Popcorn chicken $9.95 good portion likely frozen as the chicken was chewy. Pork and shrimp steamed dumplings $12.95 tasty good flavor. Thai Iced Tea $2.99 had to order this to break $50 and receive my pork and shrimp steamed dumplings FREE with online $50 orders! I am guessing they ran out of ground pork and bought ground pork sausage from Safeway by mistake the day I visited four years ago Lol ! Tasty Dumpling will satisfy your dumpling craving if you're too hungry to drive further.

    Pork Xiao Long Bao

    I love Tasty Dumpling. A Sacramento friend recommended it to me a long time ago. Even though I arrived the last half hour before 8:30 pm closing time, the restaurant allowed me to dine in and had my order ready in about 15 minutes. I asked permission first. The Spicy Xi'an Cold Noodles arrived first. You can order spicy or nonstick. Spicy still wasn't spicy enough for me, so I added chili oil from the handy table condiments. Not the most exciting dish, but good comfort food during hot summer weather. The Beef Rolls arrived shortly after. I think they are food perfection. I could eat them all day or anytime of the day! It's a Chinese breakfast or brunch menu item. One or two of the sliced beef rolls make a good pre-workout snack. I just toast them in my toaster oven to reheat, which is 450 degrees for like 2 or 2.5 minutes. Marinated beef in slices with green onions wrapped in a crispy pancake. The beef was chilled before sliced. I would order this regularly if I lived nearby. I asked the staff what were their popular dishes. He simply pointed to the image of Pork Xiao Long Bao or steamed soup dumplings on the wall. If you order them, you will not be disappointed. Plump and juicy. Make your own mixture of chili oil, vinegar, and soy sauce (regular with red cap, low sodium with green cap). I was impressed that the restaurant scrubs and washes down its kitchen backsplash and walls at the end of the day. I also saw them mopping. This is a self-service restaurant where you order from the counter, dispense your own ice cold water into stainless steel pint cups, and grab your own chopsticks and sauces. You get a number for your table. Tasty Dumpling is a fitting name for this yummy restaurant. It's nice and refreshing when I don't have to think so hard how to rate and write up a restaurant.

    FIRE! First time here - Everything hot, fresh, and full of flavor. Place is pretty small and stay not overly friendly, but food is legit. Dumplings are on point and chow mean was excellent. Pot stickers were delicious. Place was clean and serviced was fast. We recommend and will return.

    Came here with a friend for dinner and it was so good! We had the spicy pork xiao long bao, pork & shrimp steamed dumplings, and stir fry green beans. The food was really good and did not take long to come out. The stir fry green beans and the spicy pork xiao long bao were my favorite. The staff were friendly and the place was clean. The restaurant has a good amount of seating and plenty of parking in the shopping area. They have a large menu with tons of stuff to try, will definitely be coming back to explore more of their options.

    I love coming here for solo dates or meeting with a friend. The space is clean and spacious. They get busy during lunch time so call ahead or plan ahead. I always enjoy their pork and shrimp dumplings and the wonton soup. I dress it up with vinegar and chilli oil. The staff is great and the service is always quick and simple. You pay at the counter and they'll bring it to your table.

    N1. Braised Beef Brisket Noodle Soup (unmixed)
    Liberty G.

    I stopped by here for take out dinner since I was going to the Chip Cookies Yelp event. Very happy with this decision because the food was so TASTY! I ordered braised beef brisket noodle soup ($15), pan fried juicy pork dumplings ($13,) stir fried green beans ($12) and they kindly added a surprise container of steamed pork dumplings! I wasn't antsy or angry about the wait but I think they put it in there as an apologetic thank you. I didn't notice extra the container until we got home. Promptly greeted when I walked in, they were quite busy with diners and to-go orders. I pre-ordered online using their website and had a seat on the barstools at the front. You can see the kitchen and watch chefs working hard to fulfill all the orders. My mom loves potstickers but her favorites were the soup and green beans. Looking forward to coming back when we are in the area again. I'd like to dine in and try their XLB.

    Good homemade dumplings [Sacramento CA] Looking for a place to have dinner while already here for a Yelp Experience Event at Chip Cookies and apparently there were a lot of food options but we were in the mood for dumplings so we chose this restaurant. The restaurant is narrow as you enter but deep and all the table seating were against the wall with a nice decorated mural. One long high table seating that could seat 4 or 5 is on the opposite side of the wall towards the front of the restaurant. A counter service restaurant we placed our order with the gentleman in front who was busy preparing online orders. We were fortunate to find seating. We placed our order for the following: D2. Pork & Shrimp Steamed Dumpling P1. Pan Fried Juicy Pork Bun (6pcs) B1. Pork Bun (2pcs) Food came at a reasonable time, actually food came fast. Everything was yummy. The dumplings were tasty, very flavorful, they are made in house behind a large window where you can watch them prepare them. First time trying the Pan Fried Juicy Pork Bun and really liked it. Pleasant first time experience at Tasty Dumpling. Review #3633

    Green Onion Pancake

    One of the best places to get dumplings and XLB in the Sacramento area IMO. The dumplings are tasty and well wrapped (XLB doesn't fall apart or leak when you pick it up!). Keep in mind that they use the same filling for all the dumplings so what you order just determines how it is wrapped and cooked. The other dishes such as the dry braised string beans, beef noodles, popcorn chicken, green onion pancakes, beef rolls, etc, are all worth a try too! Order at the counter, they give you a number, and you grab your seat. It's a little tight in there, therefore, not good for large parties. Located in the same parking lot as Safeway, next to Peet's.

    I can't believe I've not made this review sooner. This is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in Sacramento! The staff here are efficient and hard workers. The decor is minimal save for the giant photoshopped mural on one wall. Peep the random ingredients that do not seem like they belong, haha. Offerings: - XLB: Pretty good and could hold a candle to Din Tai Fung! Love the flavor and textures! - Braised Beef Soup: this is not exactly up my alley. I love the soup flavor and the noodles. The meat is really tender but includes more random cuts that most American restaurants would not serve. This feels like a very authentic dish that I think adventurous/mainland Chinese people would appreciate. My tastes are unfortunately too white-washed. - Popcorn Chicken: really well fried and great flavor. If you're a fan of popcorn chicken, I would recommend ordering this. You won't be disappointed. - Chili Wonton: Really good and great flavor! One of the best dishes in my opinion. - Green beans/Broccoli: Both are so delicious and very salty. I will say, there must be MSG present. It is just that good. - Pan Fried Pork Dumplings: I love this dish almost anywhere. It is always served piping hot and it is so satisfying. I love all the textures. If you've not tried this, please do. It is sooo good. - Wonton Soup: the wonton skins were a little thick for my taste and the flavor was a little too similar to regular dumplings. The broth was really good though! Served with seaweed which was an interesting touch.

    100000/10 from the food to the service absolutely amazing my husband and I shared some of the pork bow dumplings, as well as the green beans and cucumber salad and hot-and-sour soup. The service was amazing Chaly and Mandy were phenomenal and brought the most amazing energy. We will definitely be back!!

    I went to Tasty Dumpling for the first time for dinner tonight with a friend and it exceeded my expectations! They are located inside the giant Crocker Village shopping center across from Safeway. We ordered the Vegetarian Dumplings and the Cold Noodles (non spicy). The Cold Noodles came out first, it was just wide noodles with thinly sliced cucumber and some kind of sauce on it. It was very light and refreshing - we added our own chili oil to it for a little kick. The dumplings took a little while to come out, but I know it's because they make them fresh to order. The Vegetarian Dumplings were packed with flavor and better than some of the meat ones I've had at other restaurants. They stayed together and did not fall apart when we tired picking them up. I would order this again! The inside is small with a select number of tables, but I like that you can see the kitchen from the front and watch them make the dumplings. Staff were friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back to try more items! Check them out!

    Brought Mom here for Mother's Day 2024 around 11:30 AM! There were a few small tables still open when we arrived. You could take a paper menu and mark off in the boxes what quantity of each item you wanted, then take a number for your table. I'd only been here once before and tried the pork and shrimp XLB soup dumplings and the shrimp fried rice at that time. We shared the pork xiao long bao soup dumplings (8 per order), the pork and shrimp steamed dumplings (8 per order), the scallion pancake (8 pieces), stir-fried green beans, and the shrimp fried rice. Mom had a bottle of Coke Zero and I got the Honey Lemon Tea. The green beans came out first, then the fried rice, pork and shrimp dumplings, scallion pancake, and then the xiao long bao. This spread barely fit on our small table, but we did order a lot! The green beans were fresh and crisp-tender, not too mushy, crunchy, or oily with the right amount of garlic. Shrimp fried rice was very "clean," not oily or salty. The scallion pancake was also very good, which reminded my mom of the Filipino fritter "ukoy" in texture and was not overly salty or tough to chew. Since we didn't see any shumai, the pork and shrimp dumplings were a very nice substitute and good flavor! The pork soup dumplings were also very good. The honey lemon iced tea I got (green tea?) was also super refreshing and had perfect sweetness. Leftovers were enough for another meal/sitting each! Great service, from each dish that came to the table to the takeout boxes/bags/sauces, prompt cleaning/turnover of tables. Clean bathroom. Parking is shared with Peets Coffee, Happy Lemon, Five Guys, Ono Hawaiian BBQ, Panda Express, Nekter Juice Bar, Great Clips, etc. Next time maybe I'll try their braised beef noodle soup, stir-fried wide noodles, dan dan noodles, pork buns, or pan-fried beef rolls.

    What vegan options do they have? Thank you!

    What veggies are in the veggie dumplings?

    I'm not entirely sure but I had them so I'm going to guess that that it's cabbage and some sort of broccoli slaw. It's absolutely delicious!

    Does anyone happen to know if any of their menu items are gluten free?

    You looking for gluten free in a dumpling place?!? Think again!

The location was a bit odd, as there were barely any other businesses nearby. There is street parking that you can pay for. It's a fairly small restaurant. We were were seated pretty quickly. Service was very friendly. I would say that portions were pretty reasonable. Things we ordered: -Pineapple fried rice: Very fragrant with the char and flavorful. Seasoned very well. We opted for mild spice on this. I would order this again. -Chicken pad thai: Done very well! Some places the pad thai is too sweet, but this one was very balanced and had a good tamarind flavor. Medium spicy was a bit on the spicy side, but perfect for me! Would order this again. -Duck larb: Unique, but I couldn't tell it was duck. My partner enjoyed this more than I did. The portion for the larb was on the smaller side and it came with some lettuce, radish, carrots, cucumbers. -Mee kati ground pork: A very unique dish that not many Thai restaurants seem to have, in which it came with noodles, and a variety of toppings like beans sprouts, lettuce, green beans, peanuts, and cilantro. It came with a fermented curry gravy, and it delicious! I would totally order this again. -Green Thai tea: Quite fragrant and not too full on half and half like some other places have it. It's also not as sweet as another local Thai restaurant. I would actually order this again. -Classic Thai tea: Strong Thai tea flavor, also not too sweet. Overall, Hiso was a great Thai/Lao restaurant and I would totally come back and recommend this place!

The red curry was really good imo but my husband said it could have been thicker and more flavorful. The pad thai was decently spicy for a medium rating. Very good flavor and I would say one of the better pad thais you can get in Sacramento. Not overly saucy like in some places. We also ordered the Tum Luang Pra Bang, green papaya salad with fermented fish sauce. I will say, the execution and the quality of ingredients were superb, I personally couldn't get past the flavor, but my mom, a stronger SEA woman, loved it! The staff was very nice and polite. The ambiance was very cute, gave cafe/small restaurant vibes. I have been in the area for awhile and this place has been a revolving door of restaurants. I hope this one sticks!

Each hot pot station has a vent so you don't smell like hot pot at the end of the meal and smoke won't be blowing in your face during the meal. The veggies and the meat quality was so good. I loved the beef belly and brisket. The broth was excellent too - I ordered the tom yum and will probably get that base everytime. I also like that their sauces didn't have a weird after taste. I've been to other restaurants where the sauce was not fresh and tasted like tap water. They have a buffet for sauces and veggies. A drink is included, and they have a soda fountain with Coke Zero (big plus for me)! I recommend starting with the cream cheese wontons, and ending your meal with a nice condensed milk bun for dessert. The wontons are crispy and delicious and the milk bun was soft and the perfect portion! The restaurant is clean and has beautiful decorations. There are two private rooms folks can reserve as well. There is a parking lot behind the restaurant where you can park.
