I came here craving dumplings, and this place exceeded every expectation I had. The dumplings were some of the best I've had in a very long time. They were fresh, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for. We also ordered the General Tso's chicken, and without exaggeration, it was the best General Tso's chicken I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, crispy, and packed with flavor. It's a small restaurant, but don't let the size fool you. The flavors are huge, and the quality is outstanding. I honestly can't rave enough about this place. If I lived closer, I'd probably eat here every day. Highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious food and excellent service, will definitely be back! read more

Xiaoling's Noodles and Dumplings - General Tso's Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Irving, Texas

Was meeting someone who only had a couple hour dinner break, and this was a great place for some quick dumplings! We split the combination pork and chicken soup dumplings (xiao long bao), steamed shrimp and pork (sam sum) dumplings, and combination beef and pork pan seared bao. We were also brought some complimentary rose shaped bao that had colorful stripes. I should have taken a photo! read more

Ordering process was quick and easy. Food was on our table pretty quickly. We had lunch specials - vey generous portions and food was quite good. Service was excellent and I think we had a great lunch for a reasonable price. read more

Wanted to try something new close to home, so we picked this place for a family meal and really enjoyed it! You can actually watch them making the noodles and dumplings, which was really cool, and you can definitely taste how fresh everything is. We enjoyed everything we ordered. The place was clean with some nice decor, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Overall, a great spot for a family meal and definitely somewhere we'd come back to! read more

I went here for a quick lunch. This place was clean and nicely decorated. I ordered the lunch special and the menu said it came with your choice of soup and egg roll. The server did not give me a choice of soup and just brought me egg drop soup. The egg roll had good flavor, but it was ice cold. I ordered the Kung pow chicken as my main dish it was good but nothing amazing. I would consider to come back to try something else. read more

Soup dumplings really good, extremely hot and juicy. Regular fried chicken potstickers were a bit of a miss, just average. Orange chicken really tasty. Dried fried chicken - AMAZING such a highlight. Hot and sour soup tasty. The desserts were a miss, the chocolate bao was semi-sweet chocolate inside which i didn't like, and also not nutella or any other flavor involved which bummed me out. the Hong Kong style dessert bao were also kinda eh. Service really good, I did really enjoy this meal, such a great menu and plenty of tasty menu choices. Focus on the coup dumplings, soups, and chicken dishes!! read more

Xiao Ling's has a lunch special menu with a limited number of entree choices, a cup of soup, and a small egg roll. The eggplant w/ garlic sauce contained a good amount of tender, creamy eggplant, but the sauce was neither garlicky nor particularly flavorful, and there was little of interest in the dish besides the eggplant. While the food was just okay, the service was great - really fast if you are in a rush, and very attentive and eager to please. I would have like to order some soup dumplings, but I was informed those typically take at least 15 minutes. If you have the time, I'd recommend the dumplings but skip some of the other fare. read more

Xiaoling's Noodles and Dumplings is a Chinese restaurant in Irving-Las Colinas that serves authentic Chinese dishes, soup dumplings, and American friendly dishes. It has become one of the restaurants in my rotation due to it's convenient location and value. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Xiaoling's is in one of Irving-Las Colinas' most popular/busy shopping districts. Inside, it's a basic restaurant, but if you walk towards the back you'll see the exposed kitchen (behind glass) where their staff work to create the perfect dumplings that they're known for. 1 Star. Service - I've never had bad service here. Initially I thought Xiaoling's was fast casual, but you'll have a server help you. Our servers were nice, smiling, efficient, and since the restaurant wasn't completely full we never had any wait issues. 1 Star. Food - There are many items on the menu, and you can eat individual dishes or family style, but I always start with the Scallion Pancake. This thin, fried cake is served a side of salty soy dipping sauce. It's crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and I always get a bite of fresh, sharp scallion in my bite. I'm also a fan of their Xao Long Boa soup dumpings. It's served with a spoon so you can capture the soup. Finally, finish with an order the Pan Fried Bao. The outside fried bao texture is a great contrast to the soft, soup dumpings. Now, it's not the best dumplings I've had, but Xiaoling's is a great value. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. The cost of eating out has skyrocketed. So it's nice that places like Xiaoling's Noodles and Dumplings exist so I can enjoy legit soup dumplings at a very reasonable price. 1 Star. read more

Xiaoling's Noodles and Dumplings - Pork Xao Long Bao - Chinese Near Me - Irving, Texas

I would give this a 3.5 star review. It's a casual place, clean, comfortable and bright. Service is brisk and responsive. The menu selection is broad - we tried the scallion pancakes (minimal flavor), pork xiao long bao (decent and unusually large and thick dough - served with ladle vs traditional soup spoon), chicken and pork/scallop dumplings (super doughy) which had ok flavor, pan fried pork buns (super doughy and cake like on the outside - not traditional preparation), and the veggie delight (was served with white rice and lacked key Asian ingredients like bamboo, baby corn, mushrooms, and water chestnuts). Serving sizes good for the prices. I'd say there are better options if you're craving dumplings and authentic Chinese food. But they'll do in a pinch. read more

Absolutely disgusting! The chicken tasted old and freezer burnt! There was a very and after taste and little to known ingredients. The dumplings were awful as well! I do it's recommend eating here! read more

The dumplings were delicious but super hard to eat with chop sticks or a fork. It appeared that regulars got a soup ladle to keep all the juices. That would have been great to have been offered. We didn't know. They were delicious! My favorite was beef and least was veggie. Beef and broccoli was good. If I went back I would ask for a tiny bit of heat as it needed more flavor. Kung Pao was great -super spicy! Place is very quiet -they need a bit of music. read more

Service: Came here on Labor Day (2025) and the place was fairly busy! Lots of tables and to-go/take out orders. The staff were friendly and patient with us since we took some time looking at the menu. They came to refill our waters and check in throughout our time here. Ambiance: The restaurant is not large, but has plenty of seating. Food: We ordered several dishes to try- 1) Pork soup dumplings- My husband loved these and thought they were one of the better ones that he's had in DFW. They were extra soupy and pretty large compared to the others. The flavor was great, too! 2) Boiled "sam" dumplings, which had beef, shrimp, and eggs. The flavor profile was unique and pretty good! 3) chicken stir fry rice noodles - I did not enjoy these as much. Did not have a ton of flavor. 4) Mixed veggies- The mixed veggie plate was fine. I didn't enjoy this either. The guy couldn't speak English well so he couldn't tell me what kind of mixed veggies were in this. The plate had broccoli, shredded carrots, and cabbage. It was too salty and flavorless for me. Overall, I'd order the dumplings here and that's it! read more

We intended to go to another restaurant and stumped on this one by accident. What a welcomed accident. We tried the xiao long bao, fried bao, hot and sour soup and the veggie soup noodles. Here is our review Xiao long bao- a 10! Homemade and looks like it is made to order. The expertise in the folds and consistency in the texture of the wrapper to encase the soup is fantastic! Hot and sour soup- a 6. Not much flavor and needs more acid. Veggie noddle soup- a 7, lacked flavor but the texture of the noodles was good. Fried pork bao- 10! Great presentation, flavor and texture ! read more

Authentic noodles and dumpling place. Very impressive! The Xiao Long Bao skins were a little thick, but they were literally hand made to order right in front of us! We each had different soups and also tried all of the dumpling flavors. Everything was fantastic. And no wait on a Friday night! read more

We went here a few weeks with our friends (it actually wasn't my first time here) and it was sooo good! They have so many options to choose from and the food we did try was great.

If you're looking for some good dumplings, definitely check this place out. read more

I feel so lucky having Xiao Ling's close to where I work and live. They have such good quality, authentic Chinese cuisine. I love dumplings and they have both steamed and pan fried, all so delicious! And their beef noodle soup is so, so, delicious and very filling as well. The customer service is amazing and the chef that makes the dumplings is so sweet.The interior is clean and tidy as well! This place is for sure my go to! read more

Literally the best soup dumplings I've ever had! You watch them make the dumplings. Going back tomorrow!

4.5 stars! That's huge for us and this type of establishment. Over 4 stars is usually reserved for restaurants that exceed all expectations and are usually $$$$! We started with the chicken soup dumplings. They were fresh, filled with tasty chicken and a creamy broth. The dumplings itself were made while we watched. Next we had the pan fried dumplings. We got the combination which gave us two of each. We loved the meat dumplings, the added green onion added to the freshness and the veggie was our least favorite, but still good. Fresh and light despite being fried. And the presentation was very nice. Lastly, we had the boa buns. We chose 2 beef and 2 pork. My absolute favorite. The bun was soft, hot and as flavorful as any boa bun bun could be. The filling was plentiful and very good. Over all a very satisfying first visit. Now that we have found this little place we will be sure to be back. A total delightful surprise for lunch today. read more

This is a very unassuming place tucked in the middle of a huge strip mall. Great service - no frills but that was actually a good thing. The soup dumplings were top tier. We had a group of 4 people and got 2 orders. I wished I had taken a photo. We couldn't even finish them all because we also got entrees. I had the dan dan noodles. I thought they were great and everything tasted very fresh. The chili oil they brought us was amazing. Would definitely order takeout or come back for lunch again. The people working there were very kind and took great care of our group. read more

Started eating before I could take pictures but that's because everything looked so good (and it was)! I just got orange chicken with an upgrade for fried rice. I was shocked at how much chicken came with the order. The only complaint (which is minor) is there didn't see like enough rice compared to the amount of chicken, but I would still order this 10,000 times over! read more

Xiaoling's Noodles and Dumplings - Pork Scallion Dumplings(8) -- its good. The wrap is a bit too thick - Chinese Near Me - Irving, Texas

I love a great lunch deal--who doesn't? I'd heard rumors of $10 lunch specials at this place, though now it's $11.50 (inflation, am I right?). Back in the Bay Area, you could find amazing Asian restaurants on every corner if you did your research. In Irving, though? Not so much. Sure, there's Indian food galore, but Asian spots? It's like searching for a needle in a haystack. Still, this place had promising reviews, so off we went! Hubbs ordered the General Tso's lunch special, which came with an unremarkable egg roll that was about as lukewarm as my feelings for Mondays, and a hot and sour soup that was neither hot nor sour. Like, come on, that's literally the name of the dish! I'm on a never-ending quest for great Dan Dan noodles, and according to the reviews, this place was supposed to deliver. Well, they weren't bad, but they sure weren't great. I was hoping for a party in my mouth, but it was more like a polite gathering where everyone just nods at each other. But it was a large serving, and my husband likes to say "quantity is a quality all on its own" Maybe we need to give this place another shot and try the dumplings--because let me tell you, they were all being lovingly handmade at the counter. I mean, if you're putting that much effort into dumplings, they've gotta be good, right? The server was fast and polite and appreciated that we brought our own "to go" containers in an effort to save the planet a bit. read more

The husband and I decided to get some food before heading to a Korean spa. It's been a long work day because of the Texas heat. The day old conversation that Eddie and I have is who gets to pick and decide our next meal. (Hint, it's normally me.) Service is a tad awkward, but still good. But here comes story time. Walking into a quaint spot with aromas permeating your nostrils, the sound of sizzles and boils and troubles throughout the background alongside modern post Malone songs, and the sight of a dumpling master making all of your orders from scratch bring me to one conclusion... this is going to smack and I'm going to lick my plate. The menu has a solid amount of options from beef braised noods to a plethora of different type of dumplings. Vegetarian options are aplenty and bountiful. The meats are there with plenty of fillers. But what do we get? Per usual, we almost go too crazy but I decide to not order the black garlic ramen. We ordered instead; chicken and pork soup dumplings, pan fried combo dumplings, spiced tossed edamame, and Rangoons. Rangoons filled with cream cheese? Normally I'd say sign me up but these weren't my cup of tea. I'm not a sweet and sour fan but I'm not going to yuck on someone else's yum. On average? It's just average. The combo dumpling truly shown with crisp edges and different types of proteins or veggies. The chili oil that accompanied up definitely upped the game for this. 9/10. Chicken and pork soup dumplings: holy mackerel. Definitely get extra ginger to eat with them. You're going to thank me as the soup was soooo flavorful. Being able to watch them make this irl is always a fun experience. Spiced edamame: I've had plenty of different variations of spicy edamame that some have doused in sambal or sriracha. This right here hits a different way of almost Szechuan notes with the dried tossed chili into the oil and edamame. I couldn't resist adding my dumplings and friends into the oil to give it a nicer elevation. Milk bao: who wouldn't say no to an Asian delicacy of steamed milk in a bao form? Not too sweet but sweet enough with the bao means a pillow of goodness and creamy milk custard blesses and tantalizes my tongue and tummy. I'm contemplating about getting another one to be quite honest. Review? 10/10 would come again. I'm going to have to try more food and definitely get everything except the Rangoons again. Bring a friend and hopefully you'll be fed by them or significant other because he's been feeding me the milk baos as I've been writing this one review. Thanks Yoba. read more

I needed a place that was between North DFW and downtown Dallas so I decided to give Xiaoling's a try. We were warmly greeted and seated quickly by a friendly server. The restaurant itself was clean and presented well. The challenge was the food, it honestly was not bad, it just wasn't that good. We had the Dan Dan noodles which lacked any real flavor and were both bland and not spicy. We also had the General Tso Chicken was had one sad piece of broccoli keeping a lookout over the rest of the plate. The chicken was nice and hot, but the sauce was entirely too sweet and not balanced. We finished up with the BBQ Pork Bao which had a tough exterior and seemed to have been microwaved. Again, none of the food was bad, it was all just bland and a bit boring. The pricing was far and the portions here were a good size, but I was left underwhelmed by the whole experience. read more

The food was delicious, the staff were welcoming and helpful. The environment was also great. We recommend!

Came in around 4:30pm on a Sunday and only one other person was there. The food- Soup dumplings were very good, FULL of soup. The spicy wontons were good, but not spicy. The scallion pancakes were SUPER FLAKY, but not enough scallions. The pan fried dumplings were super fluffy. Only deducted one star because they used Pillsbury canned biscuit dough for the pan fried dumplings instead of homemade dough. Service- both servers were not attentive and each had in AirPods on the phone while delivering food. On the more expensive side. $50 for two people with tip. 8/10, would come again. read more

Wow wow! Tasty tasty tasty. Writing the review while I'm still here because the food was so tasty coupled with some nice friendly serves . I started with some edamame and added some of their yummy chili sauce wow! Faves: Shrimp fried rice had a great condiment, tasted amazing Combo dumplings which included a mix of beef, chicken, veggie were my faves and again that chili sauce just makes the taste experience perfect.

Really yummy food! We got takeout on Christmas Day and it was all quite good. Fresh, not greasy with salty think sauce (which is what most Chinese takeout seems to be). Dumplings were fresh, flavorful, and not skimpy on the filling. The only reason for 4 starts vs 5 is that two of the items were wrong (dumplings were fried rather than steamed; a veggie dish was supposed to have tofu added and it was missing). Like I said, it was VERY busy so I'm guessing that why there were some mistakes, but those will not keep us from returning. read more
