Beyond dumplings, fried rice are equally enjoyable — hearty portions. Service is warm and efficient, making the experience relaxed and pleasant even during busier hours. Overall, Fat Dumpling Eatery offers comfort food done right: simple, generous, and genuinely delicious. A must-visit if you’re in Fresno and craving Chinese food with great value.

The food here was really good! We got the taro dumplings and the pork dumplings. 10/10 loved and the taro wasn’t too sweet and a nice consistency. We got the chow main combo and the noodles were great and lots of protein and veggies. Great ratio and flavor. I’ve always wanted to try this place and if definitely return.

I’ve been to Little Fat Dumpling a couple of times and really enjoy the food. The wontons are the best I have ever had—they’re packed with so much filling, making them incredibly satisfying. Every dumpling I’ve tried has been delicious and fresh, with great flavor and texture. The quality of the food is consistently impressive, and I always look forward to coming back for more!

Great stir fried string beans. Very good egg cream buns. My favorite was the red bean for desert. Ironically, the beef dumplings were a little underwhelming. Not bad, but completely outclassed by everything else we tried. One of our favorite meals in the area.

Wow!!!! Was really impressed with this place!! We can’t get authentic steamed dumplings where I live in Missouri so this was a real treat. The steamed pork dumplings were amazing, we also had chicken & noodles, green beans, and the BBQ pork buns. Everything was very tasty and wonderful. My only issues - the restaurant was massively disorganized with stuff everywhere and our food took forever even though we arrived right when they opened at 11am and were the first people there it took 30+ minutes to get our food. The staff was friendly and I would come back!!

Always excellent food. A good service. Nice atmosphere. One of our go to restaurants. Soup dumplings are the favorite. Wonton soup not far behind.

Ordered the Sichuan spicy chicken and red bean buns. The food came out fast. The dish was just the right amount of spicy. I always like getting sweet bean buns, so I'm glad they offer some.

Dumplings are so yummie, good service, good food, pork cabbage dumplings are delicious, beef soup is so good and warms you up on a cold day, enough for 2 but you don't have to share.. shrimp and bacon fried rice is FIRE! Pretty much everything on the menu is good.

Not sure what the complaints are about, I truly liked everything I ordered! Good taste & flavor, service was ok & waiting time wasn't too bad. Will definitely be one of my go to spots. All in all: Good food, decent service & the ambiance was. (Should note, I got my order to go)

I've been here a good amount of times and I can say that I leave satisfied every time. It is a little small inside, so space is limited which can result in a wait but I find that it's worth it. There are some dumplings that are better than others but if you're ordering more than one thing you will for sure get something you like. The portions are very generous and sharable, I highly recommend getting the walnut shrimp, chicken chow mein and chicken corn dumplings!

It's not bad. It's the best you're gonna find in Fresno. The flavor is a bit lacking but overall I enjoyed it. Service was wonderful. Staff is very attentive and friendly. This place can get busy as it's quite small inside. Depending on time you could have a bit of a wait. Noodles and dumplings are all handmade in front of the store. Very neat atmosphere. I'd recommend it.

Great place to stop for lunch! The food was a little bit greasy & the table was a little sticky but other than that, it was delicious. We were greeted & sat as soon as we walked in. We ordered kung pow chicken, spicy tofu, chow mein, an order of the 8 soup dumplings, & 3 drinks & paid about $70. The plates were also completely full so you definitely get what you pay for. Thankyou Little Fat Dumpling!

Pricey for the potion and quality of food . The noodle are the best thing out of what I ordered. Orange chicken was so dry and lacked flavor the texture was like it was overly cooked in the on-site and then batter and fried later . The beef in chilie oil was not spicy and also lacked flavor. Broccoli beef was okay the meat was tender. Again the noodles are great. Spent about $100 again a little pricey for what it was. I would compare it to under seasoned Panda Express if you enjoy their food this may want to give this place a try.

Never been greeted at the door faster than here. It was a quick for here or to go really makes you make a decision fast lol. They definitely need more room for their place they have quite a few people flowing through. If only their food quality matched that energy their food would taste better. The food doesn’t taste as you’d expect it to at first glance. I’d probably only order the dumplings if I ever came back.

As many have pointed out, the food was delicious, but the service from the waitress was bad. I wonder if she’s adequately compensated or tipped. If so, consider investing time in training your staff to improve their service.

I dined in and expected a wait of about 30 minutes since the restaurant was busy, which was understandable. However, after being seated, I waited nearly an hour for my soup. I was really looking forward to trying it, but unfortunately it didn’t meet my expectations once I finally received it. The service itself wasn’t terrible, but it seemed like my order may have been forgotten. I was dining with a group of friends, and they all received their meals before me. Because of the long wait, I asked for my order to be packaged to go. Despite this, I was still charged the full amount, and my food was once again forgotten. When I brought it up, it felt like the situation was almost placed back on me. Overall, I recommend avoiding the soup and visiting during a less busy time if you choose to dine here.

Rude service and overall not a good experience. The older waiter lady is not the kindest or most welcoming. The wait is extensive but that was ok thinking our food would be good… I look over and see an older man behind the counter handling the soups and open mouth coughing. That one instance made me and my partner not want to return to this place. We have found somewhere better that serves better portions (imperial)

If you like extremely oily yet under seasons food that has no flavor, bland everything, rude and inattentive servers then come here. We spent almost 160 dollars just trying everything with out and the only thing I truly enjoyed and that actually had flavor was the soup dumplings. Service was atrocious and felt as if I was an inconvenience??

Tried this place a few times and all three times trying to get food to go. They would tell you 45 minutes and then I would show up and wait another 30 minutes behind 30 other DoorDash drivers. And then I’d see the guys cooking the food smoking cigarettes out in front while my food still wasn’t ready. Great food, horrible management and it’s not gonna last if they keep running a business like this.
