Food was fine, service was poor. Do not recommend ordering online. I ordered online and arrived within 10 minutes of ordering (Website claims orders will be ready in 10-15 minutes) to learn that the order had not been submitted to the kitchen yet. I understand that it can be difficult to bring food out timely during a rush, but I waited nearly 30 minutes for 1 item. People who had ordered after I arrived received their food before I did. read more

Had to go to the new Tasty Dumpling location because I love the original location and this one is much closer to me which I am so happy about. When you walk in you order at the counter then they give you a number if you are dining in and you choose your own table from what I could tell. I ordered takeout and it took a bit, however since they just opened it wasn't a big deal. I got the pork xiao long bao, traditional xian noodle, and a thai ice tea. The pork xiao long bao I felt like didn't have quite enough soup but the flavor was great! The traditional xian noodle was a cold noodle in their chili oil sauce that was pretty refreshing. Their thai tea was also pretty good but just a little too much cream in my opinion. Overall I thought the food was pretty good and that this place is a good addition to the arden area. read more

if you want very average chinese food, this is the spot. to be honest, this place did not meet my expectations BUT i still believe its a place worth a try. this is a casual dining restaurant where you order before sitting down. the girl working in the front was extremely nice and great at her job. the kitchen is right behind the register so you can see an auntie making fresh dumplings. we ordered the pork xiao long bao, pork wonton with spicy sauce, and veggie and egg chow mein. - pork xlb: the best item out of the three, they were your typical soup dumplings. nothing mind blowing, but great for the price - pork wonton with spicy sauce: not what i expected, the "sauce" looked more like a broth.. it was very soupy and did not coat the wontons well. the wontons are lacking on the filling to wonton wrapper ratio, there were a couple of bites were I only ate the filling and left a big chunk of wonton skin on my plate - veg and egg chow mein: good, its exactly what it sounds like. we did notice an absence of dark soy sauce in the noodles because they were a bit light, however, the flavor was still there I would probably not come back because there are many options for dumplings in the area, but I think its worth a shot for everyone to come try this place out and support a small business. they have a big menu so there are many things to try read more

Tasty Dumpling - Noodles Near Me - Sacramento, California

Stopped for dinner after running a late afternoon errand on a Friday. Parking was somewhat scarce, but we found a spot close to the restaurant. We were greeted by a staff person who was both friendly and helpful with taking our order. She was also both efficient and helpful after bringing us our food order. She followed up to ensure we were doing well with our food. By the time we were finished the Tasty Dumpling was full of both sit down customers and take out customers. Overall, this was a very enjoyable dining experience. read more

Quite a nice little find. In a strip shopping mall. People very friendly and the dumplings. Very very tasty.

Great service and smile from reception staff on Dec 9 around 8:20pm. Packed well with great tasty condiments. read more

Tasty Dumpling is easily one of the best spots for handmade dumplings in Sacramento! The soup dumplings (XLB) are amazing perfectly thin wrappers with rich, flavorful broth inside. I also tried pork wonton with spicy sauce and the beef soup with wide noodles. So good! The place is clean and simple with a casual vibe. You order at the counter and your food comes out fast. Staff is friendly, and you can see the dumplings being made fresh in the back, which is a nice touch. Definitely recommend if you're craving authentic dumplings at a fair price. read more

I ordered takeout from Tasty Dumpling and came to pick up 15 minutes after they opened for the day. The interior was clean, modern, and quite spacious and there were already some patrons dining inside. I waited an extra 10-ish minutes after my pickup time for my order to be ready, and the girl at the counter packaged it up securely. The Tasty Shrimp Dumplings were very good, especially with soy sauce and chili oil. I also got an order of Egg Drop Soup, which turned out to be massive. I liked it, but wish it came in an appetizer portion size. Overall, Tasty Dumpling was solid for lunch, although pricing was higher than expected. read more

Are you interested in savoring authentic Chinese dumplings and more in Sacramento, CA? Chinese food lovers rejoice, as you can visit Tasty Dumpling, located on Fair Oaks Blvd. to enjoy delicious, authentic Chinese cuisine, specializing in noodles and dumplings. As I entered the restaurant, I was greeted at the order counter by Anna, who welcomed me with warm hospitality. Tasty Dumpling operates on what I call the "taqueria format," in that you look at the video menu posted above the counter, decide what to order, place your order, and pay for it. It all happens at the order counter. After you've paid for your order, you'll receive a number, and you sit yourself anywhere of your choice that's open. When your order is ready, it will be brought to you by a member of the friendly staff. Like the majority of NorCal restaurants, take-out is big business at Tasty Dumpling, and you can place an order by telephone, or online, and pick it up to-go at the time of your choosing. There are printed to-go menus on the counter, but if you prefer, you can simply order from their website. The dining room is spacious, squeaky clean, and is furnished with tables, to accommodate a large party of diners. The wall is decorated with an attractive mural, showcasing some of the fine food the restaurant offers. From the "Handcraft Dumpling" section of the menu, I went with "Combination Dumplings," as I wanted to sample it all. I went with "Four Flavors," as I wanted to sample as much of the goodness as I could. Since this was my first time at this wonderful restaurant, I simply asked for the first four offerings on the menu. So... here goes... such wonderful dining! I enjoyed four favors, including... Vegetable and Pork steamed dumpling. Pork and Shrimp steamed dumpling Vegetable steamed dumpling Beef steamed dumpling Each dumpling was filled with delicious veggies, pork, shrimp or beef, and wrapped into a small dumpling, and steamed perfectly, with tender filling inside, and chewy, yet firm dumpling texture on the outside. Each dumpling was filled with seasoned goodness and was simply delicious! Honestly, this was a new experience for me, as I'm relatively new to the Chinese dumpling scene, but what I can say is I loved every bite of this delicious lunch. "Cinco de Mayo?" Not exactly Mexican cuisine traditionally enjoyed at this mostly American celebration, but the eight dumplings I enjoyed for my late Monday morning lunch were simply delicious, filled with spiced, savory ingredients, and steamed to perfection inside a tasty, delicious doughy covering, which made for a perfect dumpling and a perfect lunch. Cinco de Mayo... what does that translate into the Chinese language? Perhaps? ... amazing dumpling at Tasty Dumpling, located in Sacramento, CA. The food is delicious, and it's as authentic Chinese as it gets... the dining is comfortable and the staff is as friendly as it gets, and the motto of the restaurant is, "Happy enjoying the homemade authentic Chinese food in Sacramento." That pretty much says it all... Delicious Chinese cuisine, specializing in dumplings is enjoyed every day of the week at Tasty Dumpling, located on Fair Oaks Blvd. in Sacramento, CA. Enjoy and... Cheers! read more

My favorite dumpling spot! Their juicy pan fried pork dumplings are my weakness. They are so flavorful! I have also tried their flat noodles, but they were a little bland. Their fried rice is delicious and has become the perfect pair with the dumplings. They are usually pretty busy but service is quick and efficient. Inside the restaurant is small and homey. It is a cozy spot to eat in with friends and family. There is also a spot to sit if you waiting for takeout. I'm looking forward to trying more things on their menu! read more

The food was delicious, we devoured everything. We especially liked the pork buns. And the sesame balls! We ordered online for pickup but the food was 20 or so minutes late, which caused our beef rolls to be cold...luckily still tasty. Food is great, hopefully the order for pickup can be improved. read more

We love tasty dumpling! We would always go to their other location on Crocker and were super excited when they opened one closer to us. Claudia helped us ordering and she was super friendly and attentive. She made the most experience amazing! We had stir fried noodles, xao long bao, beef roll and papaya salad. The papaya salad was soo good for restaurant quality. It reminds me of what I make at home! The xao long bao has so much souppp. It was amazing! I'm definitely coming back! read more

I have been here 3 times now, it is a nice addition to the Sac State/Arden area. It is in the brand new development on Fair Oaks boulevard and Howe. You order at the counter and they give you a number. The restaurant has a sleek, industrial vibe to it. The service is friendly, but they are still getting their feet wet. I have had the Pork Xioa Long Bao, Shrimp & Pork Xioa Long Boa, and the Pork potstickers, all three were excellent. I have had the Zha Jiang Mian and the stir fry wide noodles. Both were good, but I like Zha Jiang Mian better, it tastes to me like spicy spaghetti. I had the pork bun, which was steamed, I prefer them baked. The Stir-Fry Green beans were awesome, and they give you so much, that you need at least 3 diners to finish them off. I also enjoyed a beer while dining there, but I think they need to add options for non beer drinkers such as wine or cider. read more

I was extremely disappointed. I got the two pork buns and I was expecting a nice bbq pork bun but I bit into it and it was a tiny little hockey puck of pork that took up no room in the bun. The last verb I would use to describe it would be "tasty". The bun had a funky taste too. I ordered the buns with no one in the restaurant and it took them 10 minutes to make it. I almost canceled my order and I wish I had. read more

I love that there is lots of seating, the staff is usually very friendly, but my favorite is how hygienic it is. You can tell they really keep not just the interior, but the bathroom clean as well. They seem like great people, will continue to be coming here, I'm here almost every week. read more

Nice little place. The staff here was very friendly. The cashier had a good sense of humor. Lol. The food was indeed tasty. Had the vegetable dumpling. Love the color. It was made with spinach I believe. Also had a Thai Ice Tea. The cheapest price I've had in a long time. The Thai Ice Tea is only $2.95. It's not small either. You get your money's worth here. I highly recommend this place. read more

When I saw Tasty Dumpling opened a new restaurant close to Arden I was thrilled. I would regularly drive to their Curtis Park location for dumplings. The one thing that I have to say about Tasty Dumpling is that the food is consistently good. The Arden location was no different. This casual dining restaurant has soup dumplings which are my favorite. They were juicy and the skin is thin with a good amount of meat. My next go to is the green beans, I love the crunchy fried garlic mixed in the green beans. Today I also tried the egg drop soup. I was pleasantly surprised, it was flavorful with a lot of egg. We also tried the shrimp dumplings, I enjoyed them also but my go to would still be the soup dumpling. I also noticed that the menu had a larger noodle selection. I will definitely be coming back to try them out. And a side note. The service was good. This is a more casual restaurant where you order at the counters and the food comes out when it's ready which works well for my family . read more

Tasty Dumpling - Pork soup dumplings - Noodles Near Me - Sacramento, California

If there's one thing I love, it's dumplings. If there's another thing I love, it's not being disappointed. Thankfully, Tasty Dumplings delivered on both. We ordered the Dan Dan Noodles, Pork Xiao Long Bao, and Beef Rolls, because moderation is for the weak. The Dan Dan Noodles had just the right amount of heat...enough to remind me of my questionable spice tolerance but not enough to make me rethink my life choices. The Xiao Long Bao were perfect little parcels of happiness, with a thin, delicate wrapper that somehow managed to hold in all that glorious, scalding broth. I burned my mouth, and honestly? No regrets. The Beef Rolls were crispy, flaky, and packed with flavor...like a Chinese burrito, but better, because I didn't have to pretend I was being healthy. Service was quick, and the food came out fresh. No unnecessary small talk, no hovering...just good food, efficiently delivered. The way it should be. read more

Today, a coworker and I decided to check out Tasty Dumpling. I ordered a bowl of Hot and Sour Soup and Pork Xiao Long Bao. The Pork Bao was absolutely delicious--we both loved the flavors, the pork, and the dumpling wrapper. The broth inside the dumplings was delicious, perfectly complementing the pork filling. The Hot and Sour Soup, however, was a disappointment. I was surprised to see it on the in-store menu since it wasn't listed online, so I decided to give it a try. The portion size was much larger than what I've seen at other restaurants in the area, but the soup itself fell short. The temperature was way too hot to enjoy, the broth was bland, and the tofu and mushrooms tasted like they had just been thrown in without fully blending into the dish. To make things worse, at the bottom of the bowl, I bit into a clove or pepper packet that was absolutely atrocious and completely destroyed any remaining hope I had for the soup. Overall, I would definitely return for the dumplings but I wouldn't order the soup again! The service was great--the same person who took our order also brought the food to the table, and he was super friendly. The atmosphere was relatively quiet, with just the usual background noise from other diners. The restaurant has one unisex restroom, a single outdoor table, and several indoor seating options. read more

I wish there was a 4 1/2 but as there isn't, 4 is the most accurate. This place is not Din Tai Fung but it as close as you gonna get here. The menu is not as extensive , which is fine as theirs is huge, and more importantly you are getting similar quality at a much more reasonable price. This being out first visit here, we tried to stay with some familiar standards we like just to see how TD does. And they more than exceeded our expectations. The DW and I ordered the Spicy Pork Xiao Long Bao (aka soup dumpling), the Pork and Shrimp Steamed Dumpling and the Pan Fried Juicy Pork Bun. All of them were delicious although the Pork Bun was a little dry and paled in comparison to the other two. Soy sauce and hot oil were readily available for those who like a little extra kick. You do order at the counter where you enter and then pick a table to sit at. There isn't a large number of tables (7 or 8?) but it wasn't too crowded and several were available. The staff was very helpful, answered questions, and delivered the food as it was ready. This is definitely a "Do Again" for us. There are more selections we need to try! read more

First off, let me start by saying I love supporting local businesses, especially those that are Asian/female owned so this review saddens me. Ok let's get into it. This is the second location opened by Helen Zhang, as her first location is off Crocker Rd in Sacramento. I walked in with an open mind knowing this place just opened. Upon entering one isn't sure if we seat ourselves or order at the counter then sit. After a couple minutes we realized you order first. The male employee helping us seemed ok at first. We go sit down and after a couple minutes I noticed my plate was dirty. I handed him my plate, when he came back I asked for our drinks. He came back and said sorry we're out of ice. I thought this was strange but didn't think much of it. The food was good and bad. We ordered the pork xiao long Bao, steamed buns and cucumber salad. The xiao long bao was the best. Thin skin, savory filling and lots of soup! Bun was pretty authentic too. The cucumber salad, however was awful. So bad in fact I didn't even bother taking a pic. As we were eating I noticed the customer next to me got a drink with plenty of ice. After the male employee dropped off our drinks he never checked back in with us. I don't know his name, he had dark hair and looked disgruntled. I don't know if he had a bad day or just doesn't like his job. Definitely lent to the overall meh experience. All in all, will not be back. Too many dumpling restaurants in Sac to drive out of my way to eat here again. Ambience 4/5 Food 2/5 Service 1/5 Overall score 1.5 out of 5 read more

We have been loyal fans at their Curtis Park location and came to the fair oaks and howe location to try it out. Spectacular! Food is identically fresh and delicious as the first location. Service is great! The menu here is a little bit bigger and there is more seating.

Place order at the front, get a number and they'll bring the food to you. Fast service and comfort food. Best SLB in town! read more

From the moment I walked in, the service was lightning-fast, and our food came out in no time. I have to say, the Pan Fried Juicy Pork Bun was my favorite out of all the things we ordered tho. Each bite was full of flavors, with that perfect balance of crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Every dish we tried was packed with flavor...there wasn't a single miss! The inside of this place is nothing to ride home about, nothing spectacular. The food and the service definitely stands out. Hence, why I can't recommend it enough! read more

You won't find a better place for dumplings, let alone anything else here, as this place truly delivers!!

I would make this place a priority on the next trip. read more

Didn't feel like eating dumplings so I ordered pot stickers and chicken chow mein. The pot stickers were good, enjoyable. The chicken chow mein however was pretty bad. It looked like a bunch of broken noodles. Not a noodle longer than 1 inch! The chicken was deep fried and seriously taste like it was already a day old and dry. The flavor was okay but too sweet for my taste. Probably should have ordered dumplings but dumplings are just dumplings. read more

Tried this place out two weeks in a row. Ordered the pork and shrimp xiao long bao, pork pot stickers, and stir fried wide noodles. This location just opened very recently, so the restaurant is still undergoing some changes and employees are still getting trained up. It is a casual dining spot where you order at the counter, so presentation isn't their top priority, but the food is definitely not short on taste. read more

We got the shrimp and pork xiao long bao, chicken corn dumplings, stir fried wide noodles, red bean baos, and pan fried juicy pork buns. All were a hit - the real winner here is the dough/flour texture: super soft with just the right amount of chew. I dare say the quality and texture of the ingredients inside the XLB and dumplings were a step better than din tai fung's. Beautiful open-style kitchen and clean bathrooms. Staff were attentive and helpful and food came out quickly. Impressive really given that it had just opened. read more
