Full House Dumpling

Decent homemade style dumpling and Chinese dishes spot. I love their stir fried sakura shrimp cabbage and shrimp luffa steam dumpling. Great service and nice environment too! Variety of Chinese/Taiwanese yummy dishes to choose from.

approved by our group of taiwanese diners! the authenticity was clear from the simple dish of stir fry cabbage that was perfectly salty and fragrant. after we sampled A1-7 on their dim sum menu, i’ve decided their beef filled dumplings/dim sum take the cake. the staff was very nice as they patiently waited for us to leave a bit past their closing time.

We've been here at least 10 times and we keep coming back because it's simply too good! We now come every two weeks ☺️ Their braised pork rice is the best ive had in the bay area!!! I also love their loofah shrimp xlb, it's truly amazing. My husband loves beef noodle soup so much, it's a must eat for him. The beef roll was great too!

Food was overall decent but nothing stood out - we did not like the soup dumplings however. The skin was thick and the pork didn’t taste like the right texture. They have a variety of Chinese stir fries that were decent though!

Been here for a few times. The soup dumplings are always good. We tried all three kinds - the pork, pork & crab, loofah squash & shrimp. Dumping wrapping is thin and each steamer has 6 dumplings. Service is fast. It's nice that there are no bones in the drunken chicken and the three-cup chicken dishes. The fish filet with sweet and sour sauce is a bit strange since they added tomato sauce in it which isn't what we expected. The weekend is pretty busy and expect to wait if you go there around lunch time. Note that you'll need to walk all the way inside towards their counter to put down your name on the waiting list.

I recently had dinner with a friend at this spot. The food was fantastic, but the ambiance left something to be desired—it felt a bit cramped and dull. Be prepared for a long wait during dinner hours, and make sure to arrive early, as tables fill up fast.

I recently had a meal at Full House Dumpling and overall, I had a satisfying experience. The food was delicious, and I particularly enjoyed their juicy dumplings with loofah shrimp. The flavors were on point, and the dumplings were perfectly cooked. The restaurant had a cozy atmosphere, and the service was friendly and efficient. However, one thing to note is that on weekends, they have a policy of allowing each table to order only once. This means you need to make sure you order everything you want initially, as you won't be able to add to your order later. The servers were attentive and made sure to remind us about this policy. While it may be a bit inconvenient for some, I understand that it helps them manage their kitchen efficiently during busy times. Despite this limitation, I still highly recommend Full House Dumpling for their tasty food and pleasant dining experience. Just make sure to plan your order accordingly to avoid any disappointment.

Soup dumplings and green onion pancakes are highly recommended. Other dishes are ok.

The food here is good and very affordable compared to other restaurants. Service was good and fast. Atmosphere was very nice. Dumplings, potstickers, and drunk chicken were 10/10. Eggplant (in pork sauce?) and three pot chicken were good but very oily. All that for $65… in this economy that’s a steal. 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing service and vibe. It's a little like Ding Tai Fung but with a way bigger menu. The server was attentive and the food came really fast. Everything was really tasty! Ordered Pork Dumplings, Prawn fried rice, three cup pork intestine, and clam soup. Except both of us have a little stomachache after the meal. Not sure if it's a coincidence or it's the food. But they were undoubtedly yummy. I would go back again!

Our favorite Taiwan restaurant. Usually we order juicy dumplings with shrimp/loofa and pork/crab favored, clams/ginger soup. This time we added the sesame/red bean pancake. All are good, except the clams were still with sands a little bit. Service is attentive and gentle. Highly recommended.

The steam shrimp veggie dumplings were very delicious. The tofu dish was delectable. We also liked the beef noodles - beef was tender but noodle were a little too soft and. It as chewy as expected. The series staffs were very courteous. Overall, it’s worth coming!

After searching endlessly for a good dumpling place to replace my now-closed goto one, I finally decided to try Full House Dumpling. The wait can be a bit long, as it is usually packed for the weekends. The dumplings are well worth the wait however. They're served in a traditional fashion and comes fresh and steaming hot. I recommend the pork dumplings and the pork with crab. Every dumpling is made just right, stuffed with juicy meat and a bit of broth inside. The thin onion pancakes are also well made, being fried just the right amount. The beef rolls are a bit lackluster with an overpowering beef taste, but I can see how some may enjoy it. Their seafood warm pot compliments the other dishes well, allowing you to reset your taste buds. It is a huge pot however, so I recommend you only ordering it if you have a party of 4 or more. They do offer to-go containers if you don't finish though. Overall, this place is definitely worth a try.

This restaurant is a neighborhood family restaurant, in a location not depending on foot traffic. Despite its name, it offers an extensive Taiwan style menu besides dumplings. Service is friendly and efficient. It's menu items are reasonably priced, and good portions.

Total Score: 6.15 Bathroom: 2/5 Was okay but lots of things were broken. The flush was weak. Urinal broken. Faucet was loose. Almost nonfunctional Customer Service: 3.75/5 Very easy to grab and refilled teas Ambiance: 3.75/5 Clean and bright. Classic Chinese restaurant decor Food: 3.5/5 It was fair Chinese food. The soup dumplings were hella flimsy and broke so easily Wow: 0/1 Normal Chinese restaurant Total Score = BR + CS + 2*AM + 5*FOOD + WOW

Clean medium sized establishment. It was busy when my party arrived. There are a few chairs to sit on for waiting parties. You will need to walk all the way up front through the narrow aisle and put your name down on the clipboard in order to get a table. Lucky for us, the wait wasn’t too long. We ordered E10 Sauteed Beef w/ Tomato, D2 Diced Chicken w/ Bell Pepper, and A12 Sliced Stew Beef & (TO-GO) Cucumber Roll w/ Green Onion Pancake. The beef dish was ok. It tasted like beef in a ketchup sauce which I did not fully enjoy. The chicken dish was good. The chicken was cooked perfectly and was not dry. Had a light caramel taste to it and it wasn’t smothered in sauce. I enjoyed this dish. The green onion pancake roll was really good. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of it. I think this place is not great but not bad either. I’m not sure I would come back here only because the menu items did not appeal to me as much. However, it was busy so it seems people love this place. I would recommend to give it a try.

Bright and simple clean decor, comfortable! Service staff was friendly and attaintive. The steamed loofah dumplings were pretty good, not a lot of stuffings though. The steamed shrimp dumplings didn't taste good. The stir fried bitter melon was not very fresh. The pan fried cake with beef was kind tough. The tofu was tender, but the sauce did not match well. Overall, average.
