Just tried couple of traditional Chinese dishes there. Wow, the steamed soup XLB is really good - each is perfectly made in a very thin (almost transparent) skin with lots of soup inside. And the soup is so tasty and NOT oily at all. The three flavored dumplings and the pan fried buns taste very authentic too. Been to many Chinese restaurants in the Bay Area, this one is definitely on top of my list. It has the better interior decor and the clean feel. Especially love the cute sauce set. The bar area has ample seats, three big TVs and good drink selections. Perfect to stop by for a quick meal (or drink) after strolling the beautify downtown Burlingame. Highly recommend!!!

Thank you so much. Wonderful lunch. :)

Excellent! Well priced. Friendly atmosphere. Great drinks! Lychee martini the best. Burlingame Ave needed this addition. Great for couples and affordable for family! Best dim sum I’ve ever had. All homemade and fresh.

I forgot to take more pictures, the food was so good that we ate it immediately. Tons of vegetarian options available. We had the scallion pancake, vegetarian dumpling, mapo tofu dumplings, chongqing noodles, and custard buns. The service was incredible, the staff is super friendly and helpful. I’ll definitely be returning. Everything was really delicious. Would love if they expanded the vegetarian menu to include XLB and pan-fried dumplings.

**Review for Dumpling Kitchen & Bar** Dumpling Kitchen & Bar offers fresh, delicious dumplings and creative cocktails. The cozy ambiance and friendly service make it perfect for a casual night out. Highly recommend!

The food is very fresh and super tasty. The people working there are really nice and explain the food if you don’t know what it is or how to eat it. They also have many different dishes to choose from. I’ve been there twice and will go again for sure. I can really recommend this place!

Best first time experience ever!!! Had a group of 5 and we called in advance and they were so accommodating. Food was delicious and service was fast. We met the owner/chef and he was so kind to us. Highly recommend and we will definitely be coming back!

Went here on a whim and was super impressed by the service and quality of food. Hot and sour soup was so good I went back for seconds and my friend said soup dumplings were the best he’s ever had. Lotus root salad and crystal shrimp dumplings were delicious too and food arrived 5-10 mins after we ordered. Glad I randomly ended up here and will definitely be back!

We had a delicious meal!! My youngest loved the miso soup and my older really enjoyed the dumplings.

Had dinner here and everything ordered was delicious and fresh. Stand outs where the Pork Potstikers and KungPow chicken dumplings. Highly recommend and will definitely go back.

The Chongqing noodles were amazing 😍 Really good miso soup as well. Kung Pao dumplings were just okay. Wagyu dumplings great.

Jimmy, the owner, is so talented and extremely accommodating. He will suggest his favorites, which turn out to be, now, my favorites! The chicken potstickers are delicious. Everything we ordered was mouthwatering. This is my favorite restaurant to gather with family and friends.

Great and friendly service! I ordered three items for takeout. Chicken and corn pan fried dumplings: 5/5 Hot and sour soup: 3/5 Spicy wonton: 4/5. I liked the wonton but not the sauce. Perfect, bc was separated for takeout order

We had the lotus root appetizer (great), the fried mushrooms (great) , the hot and sour soup (fantastic) and the xiao lung bao (soup dumplings - fantastic). Everything was fresh and absolutely delicious.

I love this place! The noodles and dumplings are my favorite. The staff is super nice, and it’s cool how they have Chinese food and an actual bar together. Really fun spot to eat and hang out.

Food was good, but did not particularly stand out compared to other dumpling places. Had great service from one server, but the rest were very stressed and hurried. It was hard to get their attention. Food presentation was great and they surprisingly have a large bar. I would come back again and try different items.

Clean, fresh-tasting and very soupy dumplings. The pork buns were just okay. The restaurant itself is nice, with a pleasant view overlooking a lively intersection. Overall, a good spot for dumplings with a decent atmosphere.

A mix of bar and Asian food fusion, the shrimp tastes very good.

Good food but disappointed in management. One person running up and down hosting and waiting on guests while asking the only buser/server to help clean tables and bring out food. It's also very busy so having a 3rd person to just help do one thing like wait or serve would be a great addition. We waited for 30mins for service. Others also either waited or were served right away so service was definitely spotty. Will be back again for the food. The kitchen was spot on and delicious on every bite 😋
