    Chongqing Hot Chicken
    Austin N.

    The Dumpling Boys is conveniently located in the food hall, where there are a handful of other options to cater to different tastes and plenty of tables to sit down inside and outside. The service was quick and friendly, asking if I needed any additional utensils. The XLB had a decent wrapping, able to hold the filling inside without falling apart. The soup inside was good but nothing too noteworthy. I was hoping the tom yum sauce would be more hot and sour, and the consistency didn't allow for it to coat the dumplings effectively. The Chongqing chicken boasted a more flavorful profile, with a nicely coated chicken covered with peppercorns and dried chilis. I wished this came with a side of steamed rice for this price point but it is an additional charge.

    Pleasantly surprised as I had no expectations for this place prior to dining here. For a food hall we received table service with plates and utensils brought to our table along with the occasional check-in to see if we liked the food or needed anything else. We ordered the ma la XLB, wonton in chili oil, spicy crispy fish with a side of steamed rice and tiramisu. The wonton in chili oil is probably one of the best I've had in the Portland metro area (besides DTF) with flavorful filling although I do wish the wrapping could be a little chewier. The spicy crispy fish is a little on the sweeter side but still good. The ma la XLB was probably my least favorite as there wasn't much broth in the XLB and the sauce did not stick well either but it was worth a first try and I haven't seen the flavor offered anywhere else. The chili oil for a dip does not have enough chili. The tiramisu was made perfectly with softened lady fingers and a light sweetness. I will definitely be back to try other dishes!

    Wow! What a hidden treasure! They take the same XLB and sauce them with different flavors such as Mala (szechan) and Kung Pao (Chinese spicy). We loved the shrimp and corn pan fried dumplings, too. The garlic bok choy was amazing! The food hall was sadly empty so the food came out quickly! Could see this as a very successful place so I hope this gets busy!

    Wonton in Chili Oil, Mala XLB and Spicy Crispy Fish

    The food hall had plenty of seating and front staff was nice and quick. Menu was surprisingly extensive for a food hall establishment, ranging from smaller apps to large family style dishes. Ordered the wonton in chili oil, Mala XLB, spicy crispy fish and tiramisu. Food came out within 10 mins. The wontons and crispy fish were legit. Wontons were juicy and chili oil coated every piece. Crispy fish had a great batter, fried and tossed evenly in their seasoning, while the fish itself was soft and flaky still. Never imagine I would say a Chinese joint has good tiramisu but this place did it right. It was perfect with softened lady fingers and slightly sweet, which is how Asians like their desserts.

    Pork and Chives Dumpling are insanely delicious.

    Wow, I saw some reviews and this place is legit! Inside The Last Sip (didn't realize it wasn't a stand alone place, but inside a small plaza with a few other restaurants). I was craving wontons in chili oil, and got the pork and chives wontons on the recommendation of the guy who rang me up. So happy. So good.

    We went here to try it out. They have dumplings steamed or pan fried. We ordered crab puffs, pork and cabbage dumplings and chicken soup dumplings. I found the pork and cabbage dumplings to have more flavor than the chicken soup dumplings. I was disappointed that the chicken soup dumplings came in a plate with the dumplings in congealed liquid, which I'm assuming it's chicken soup. I was expecting maybe the chicken soup in a bowl with the dumplings. Guess I was wrong about that. The food was decent. They were pretty busy on a Saturday dinner time.

    In writing this review, I'm judging by the food I ordered from Dumpling Boys through DoorDash, so I can't speak for the entire establishment (service, ambience, etc), but I did really enjoy the food itself. The chicken fried rice was basic, but flavorful, with a good amount of meat and vegetables. The garlic broccoli was REALLY garlicky (which I love) and cooked perfectly. It wasn't raw or mushy and complimented the rice well. The pan-seared XLB was good, but I didn't think the sear added much to them. I think next time I'll order the regular steamed ones. Last, I wanted to try their wontons with chili oil ... Unfortunately, I didn't like this dish as much. I think it was the flavor of the chili oil/sauce that I found off-putting. Maybe I'm too used to the ones at Din Tai Fung. Overall, the food from Dumpling Boys was good and I would recommend it!

    Delicious, spicy how we like it, check them out for sure! We love mapo tofu and crispy fish and this meal did not disappoint. If you can handle spice and love bold flavors this is definitely your spot. The dumplings in the chili oil were also yummy, we also ordered their House Special beef ribs to go and those were large and flavorful. I'll get a pic next time!

    Spicy dumplings, green beans, shrimp fried rice

    Great customer service, we tried and loved the spicy dumplings, green beans,fried rice and Mongolian beef.

    We tried the shrimp and corn dumplings and pork dumplings. They were so yummy that we came back to order more (the pork and chives dumplings and the wonton in chili oil). Everything was sooo good! We'll definitely come back. Great customer service too!

    Pan-Seared XLB

    Came here for my favorite pan seared XLB and was surprised that they have tiramisu here. The tiramisu was super creamy and not overly sweet. It is one of the best ones I've had in a while. Will be back every weekend.

"Let me know if you have any questions!". We had questions about her menu items, and she answered them nicely and thoroughly, in detail. Okay, so we order two things: the S3 and the Spicy Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen, and here's what U think about each: Tonkotsu Ramen: -The Meat doesn't have a huge initial, impactful taste, but the flavor settles in a couple seconds after you bite it and it's a very soft, warming feeling. -The Broth is where the spice is, and it's not like "oh my mouth is on fire" it's the type of spice that hits you in the back of the throat, so it's bearable but I couldn't chug it personally, I had to take sips which is nice for someone who devours their food like there's no tomorrow (like me). -The Noodles are.. just your typical Ramen noodles, nothing special to add there but nothing bad to say at all! -The Egg, although not marinated in soy sauce like some places do, was cooked well. The inside was soft and gooey, but the white was fully cooked. I have no complaints! -The Mushrooms added a nice texture to the noodles and the overall dish, and worked to make it even more satisfactory. The S3: -I don't have much to say because my cousin ordered it and I only had a few bites, but the veggies were cooked nicely... -The big boom about it was the noodles. If I had to describe it, I would say it's like.. an Orange Chicken type of Tater Tot, it was really unique and fun to eat. Next time I go, it'll be hard to decide what to order.. Okay, don't just take my word for it, go see for yourself! いただきます!

The broth had the perfect kick without overpowering the depth of the ramen, and everything came out hot and fresh. Parking was easy, food cart was easy to find!

Normally I wouldn't care that much about service, but when a lady in a tacky light pink blazer tries to berate me for not having my order window still up on my phone to prove what my name and order was then we have a problem. What's the point of me providing my name and phone number in the order if you also must see my actual order on my phone? There wasn't even any customers in the restaurant while I was there picking up my order and there were only a few orders on the bench. I offered my name and that I was there for pick up, and I was happy to wait there patiently but this lady demanded to see the order on my phone because she couldn't find any order under my name. I must've closed the paid for order window on my phone on accident so I offered her my license to show her my name, but she got upset, huffed, and said "How are we supposed to give you your order if you don't show us what you ordered?" I did know what I ordered though because it was only 2 things, but she never asked me what I ordered or any other identifying information. Anyways, I ended up quickly finding my own order and she tried arguing that the order didn't say my name (I think she just couldn't read it cause it looks like their ink was running out on their order printer, but I was able to make out my own name and phone number on the order). I finally got my order though after I recited my phone number (which was on the order printout right in front of me so I could've lied anyways if that's what she was actually concerned about, but logic was thrown out the window from the very beginning). Anyways TLDR: service sucked. I won't be going back. You can find the same menu items with way better service at the Master Kong on SE Hawthorne.
