Dumpling Day

Got dinner here with my family, everything was so good! Ordered pork xiao long bao, mini pan fried pork bun, golden fish noodle soup and the squash egg and shrimp dumplings. Our favorite is the mini pan fried pork bun. Ordered takeout a few days after, food was hot and packed well. Very satisfied.

Absolutely great experience here! It was pretty quiet on a Monday evening but that didn’t take away from the atmosphere. The staff, especially the owner, were very friendly and welcoming. We got some great recommendations for dishes- including xiaolongbao, lamb dumplings, seaweed, and veggie dumplings. Everything was amazing. Would highly recommend anyone come here.

This is a great noodle shop! Delicious! Reasonable price! You can also take it home... I will continue to patronize！

Check recent reviews, as this place is very new: The minute I walk in, service is slow but I IMMEDIATELY and HAPPILY see why! A couple is methodically filling each beautiful dumpling to perfection and the place smells heavenly. I've had dumplings and noodles all over China, Japan, California and New York and these have quickly become my favorite. Doesn't hurt that I'm in walking distance. Their Chengdu handmade noodles are spicy flavorful heavenly with the perfect balance of fresh, braised and pickled toppings and try for sure the classic go to, Xiao Long Bao...the garlicky sauce and flavor packed dumplings are heavenly. I can't wait to come back again and again. Their unique list of dumplings are calling my name. Update: folks walking by kept asking for suggestions, 2 tried what I got and were raving too. In an Asian mall with lots of options, this place will surely stand out. I'm happy to grab frozen dumplings from 99 ranch and steam them myself, but these were so flavorful and perfect that I know I'll come back, zero hesitation. Lamb & Squash dumplings....you're next!

The Golden soup sauerkraut fish rice noodles I ate in the store were very delicious. There were a lot of rice noodles and fish meat.🥰🥰

Cindy, the owner, consistently greets guests with warmth and hospitality, making every visit feel special. This charming eatery is truly a hidden gem, where the quality of food and service exceeds expectations. The customer service is nothing short of world-class—attentive, friendly, and efficient. Each dish tastes like it was prepared in a home kitchen, brimming with flavor and care. I wholeheartedly recommend this delightful place; it deserves a perfect 10 out of 10!

My husband and I went as a recommendation and tried many items from the menu. We were impressed with every item and the customer service! The owner was super friendly and attentive! Will be going again for our dumplings cravings

Best comfort food spot around. I always go for the golden fish rice noodle soup, lamb dumplings and the mini pan fried pork buns, never lets me down. The fish dumplings are also really good, soft skin and tasty filling. The food always feels fresh and made with care, definitely recommend! 🥰🥰

Xaoi long bao was really good here, soupy, filling was succulent and tasted fresh, and the skin held together really well. We also enjoyed the pan fried pork and cabbage potstickers and wonton soup. My kids loved it. The setting is no frills, and I had trouble placing my order with the QR code, but the staff were sweet and helpful. I also liked seeing the woman behind the counter making fresh dumplings. We’ll definitely be back!

My boyfriend and I had a great time at this dumpling restaurant. We ordered a few dishes to share family-style, and everything was amazing. The fried xiao long bao was delicious and crispy, and the pork face was rich and perfectly cooked—the seasoning was very authentic- like what you would get in China. The staff were very homey and kind as well. A good spot for anyone who loves authentic dumplings!

A bit hit and miss depending on the dish. The beef soup (#4) was great and earned the fourth star. A lot of the homemade bao had interesting flavors, but nothing jumped out as being exceptional. The dumplings were again ok but fairly normal. Seating is limited, but turnover was quick so we didn't have to wait long.

Ordered some Shen Jian Baos togo and they were piping hot and filled with soup. Overall very tasty and I would definitely come back for more dumplings! They are made to order and do it took some time before the order was ready.

New dumpling store! As others have noted seating is limited and spills out into the mall area outside the store. I really wanted to like this place but the items we got were generally not marinated adequately. As this is a new store, it’s possible they’re still figuring things out. On the plus side, when we had an issue with a dish, they checked it out, apologized for the issues, and brought us out a replacement. The service people were great.

For me, only two out of four dishes ordered were memorable. Place was near empty when we arrived.

This restaurant is a relatively new addition to the Pacific East Mall in Albany. We finally had a chance to check it out recently but were somewhat disappointed. The owner was friendly, however the food was fairly bland and a bit overpriced for what it offered. With many better dining options nearby, we don’t plan to return.

The review said frozen dumplings from Ranch 99 were better wasn't kidding! Also the pork buns are filled with straight up oil. Crazy. Pretty much un-edible. Haven't had such bad food in the Bay for a while. It makes me want to change my previous one star reviews for other restaurants to two.

We wanted to try this place since it opened up. The servers were nice and friendly. The food was not good. The fried pork bun was greasy and didn't have any flavor, I could only taste the grease. The California beef noodle was not good for the price we paid. It was eatable. We will try to take home their frozen dumplings next time we go.
