Uncle Dumpling

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the newly opened dumpling restaurant, and I can't stop raving about it! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting ambiance. The decor is simple yet elegant, creating the perfect atmosphere for a delightful dining experience. Now, let's talk about the star of the show - the dumplings! Oh, my taste buds were in for a treat. The menu offers a wide variety of dumplings, from traditional classics to innovative creations. Each dumpling was a burst of flavor and perfectly cooked. I particularly loved the juicy pork dumplings and the unique truffle-infused ones. The service was exceptional. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to help with recommendations. They made the dining experience even more enjoyable. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were reasonable, considering the quality of the food and the overall experience. Whether you're a dumpling aficionado or just looking to try something new, this restaurant is a must-visit. It's clear that the owners and chefs are passionate about what they do. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu. This place is a gem, and I highly recommend it to anyone craving a dumpling feast!

The beef noodle soup here is absolutely exceptional! The broth is rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced with layers of deep, savory flavors that feel like they’ve been simmered for hours. The beef is melt-in-your-mouth tender, with just the right amount of marbling to add richness without being overly fatty. The noodles are a standout—springy, chewy, and cooked to perfection, soaking up the broth beautifully. What really ties it all together are the thoughtful toppings: fresh greens for a pop of color and crunch, pickled mustard greens for a tangy kick, and a hint of chili oil for those who enjoy some heat. The portion size is generous, leaving you feeling satisfied but never overwhelmed. If you’re a fan of beef noodle soup, this is a bowl that will win you over at first sip. Highly recommended for anyone seeking comforting, authentic flavors!

I was in Roseville when the dumpling craving hit. So I used Yelp to find nearby places. What da ya know, I found two dumpling places right across the street from each other. Me-nee mi-nee moe... I choose Uncle Dumpling due to no particular reason. Not a wrong choice at all. Great customer service, super cute interior, and delicious eats. To boot, the pricing was not outrageous. For the two of us, we ordered green beans, sesame balls, and chicken dumplings. The green beans were Chinese long beans wok stir fried with garlic and ground pork. Darn delicious! The beans had a nice blister to them and a freakin delicious flavor. What did they put into that sauce?!? Mmm. The sesame balls were ah-mazing as well. Luv eating them fresh n hot. Crisp exterior with a sweet bean paste interior, but not as very sweet. Bite size deliciousness. The steamed chicken dumplings had the classic look and taste. The dumpling skin had a nice thickness, not too thick or thin... just right. They provided a ginger soy dipping sauce that was divine. Great flavors going well with the dumplings. Also, they provided hot chili oil as well. Another cool thing about this place was that there is a glass viewing wall into the "dumpling making" section of the kitchen. Real human beings making dumplings the tried and true old fashion way... by hand. The staff work at a table directly facing the window so it could get a bit strange staring at folks looking at you.

We had the chance to have dinner at this new restaurant, and we loved it. Everything was made fresh in the house, dumplings were soft and super delicious, also the noodles were excellent . Very friendly staff, especially our waitress Michelle she helped us ordering, and explained to us the proper way of eating the dumpling's. We will be back to try out more items on the menu.

Small, hole in the wall, kinda place. It was packed. We ended up in a cozy corner which was perfect for a Walker. The Garlic Noodles were plentiful and Da Bomb! The taste, texture and quantity was Amazing! The Pork Xio Long Bao were Delicious especially with the side of sauce they give you. I think it was vinegar, soy sauce with slivers of ginger. The Truffle Angus Beef Fried Rice was flavorful even had gold flakes and truffle shavings on top. End the evening with the chocolate Xiao Long Bao (No photo) $9.95 (5 piece with Cream sauce).

Love it! Food tastes so good and flavorful. We came for lunch on Saturday but it took them less than 15 minutes to make all these dishes. Cucumber salad was refreshing and crunchy! Green beans were so yummy, fried rice had a lot of eggs and it’s delicious!!! Be back soon ❤️‍🔥

Review on a Saturday soon after opening at 11. The restaurant was about half full and we were greeted and seated immediately. Our server was very attentive and sweet. Our order only took 5-10 minutes to come out. Everything was flavorful, some of the best soup dumplings I've had. Cucumber salad was refreshing and a great palette cleanser in between. Spicy beef shank was tender and paired so well with the cabbage. My friend got the beef noodles and he enjoyed it very much. Will be coming back for sure!

I recently had the pleasure of having Uncle Dumpling cater my baby shower, and I cannot say enough amazing things about them! From start to finish, the entire experience was flawless. Their communication with allowing us to pick up this large order from the restaurant was easy and made planning this special event anxiety-free. The team was so professional, accommodating, and genuinely excited to be part of our special day! And the food was perfect! Every dumpling was a little bite of heaven. You could truly taste the love and craftsmanship in each one. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the dumplings. Everything was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. Uncle Dumpling helped make our celebration feel warm, joyful, and incredibly delicious. They truly went above and beyond, and I can’t recommend them highly enough for any event or even just a casual night when you’re craving the best dumplings around. Thank you for making my baby shower so memorable!

Good dumplings! And variety of menu items is impressive. Tried their dumpling soup and was not disappointed. Their portions are large and can be shared.

This place was so yummy! However their AC broke down so it was a little hot! But other than that, the head waitress who took our order was fast and efficient, our drinks and food came very quickly. Here is what I recommend: Potstickers Pork Xiao Long bao Pork and shrimp Xiao long bao Cucumber salad Fungus salad Pan fried juicy pork steamed buns Sesame balls Fried golden buns with condensed milk I really wanted to try the salt and pepper fried squid as I saw another table order it and it looked absolutely delicious. We did order the veggie dumplings, however I felt that they lacked flavor, where as everything else was seasoned well, this was the only miss that we ordered. They also have a glass windows that faces the diners so you can watch them make the dumplings, it is pretty cool, and gives kiddos something to watch while they wait for their food, and the adults something to look at too!

While staying in the Sacramento area, this option came up in our search for dinner. We brought our two elementary age kids and had one of the best meals ever. We ordered 4 types of dumplings and one pan fried bao buns. They came out very hot and fresh. We could see everything being expertly made fresh in the kitchen window. The cucumber salad was refreshing, slightly sweet and with a touch of spice. We rounded the meal out with garlic noodles and opted for beef protein. Biggest hits: chicken dumplings, pork soup dumplings and the garlic noodles. Personally I also loved the pork & veggie dumplings too. Honestly, can’t go wrong!! The kids were able to get a mango smoothie without dairy and we all left full and happy. What a treat!

Really good service and the dumplings were great. The flavor was very good. The garlic broccoli was good but not as garlicky as you would think. We are definitely going back to try other dumplings. We had the spicy pork soup dumplings and the pork and vegetables steamed dumplings. We also tried the summer lychee fruit tea and the strawberry cloud smoothie, and both were very good.

I got the spicy dumplings! Super flavorful and delicious! Not too spicy.. I would say it’s mild spicy with a little hit🌶️ we waited just 10 minutes for table .. service was excellent and quick!

This is one of the many delicious and beautiful restaurants here in Roseville. Got the Popcorn Chicken, Fried Rice, and Steamed Dumplings to eat with my family. Very delicious and customer service was very nice. Definitely recommend to local residents who want to try eating at a restaurant near their home.

Deanna McVay

Super yummy dumpling place in Roseville. We got the spicy pork soup dumplings, a cucumber dish, pan fried pork dumplings with a crackly bottom and some of the best fried rice I've had in a long time. It's a little busy at lunch to be expected for good food. They have a call ahead option and plenty of parking. The wait staff was super helpful explaining the menu, and what to order. Will definitely be back.

Kathleen Madrid

So delicious! I had fun just looking through the kitchen window and watching everyone make all the different dishes. The service was AMAZING and the food came quickly.

Daniel Mcdonald

Nice service and great food! I will absolutely come back again. We ordered many items, and my favorites were the wonton soup and the fried vegetables. The portions are very generous—more than enough for one person per dish.

Scallion pancake was by far my favorite. Everthing else was de- lish.. out here visiting from chicago. Will be back again.

Fairly tasty dumplings that appear to be freshly made at the restaurant. Really attentive and friendly wait staff.

Nice little hole in the wall dumpling house. Dining room was clean, service was decent, food was excellent and flavorful. Windows to the cooking area was a nice touch, however the kitchen was pretty dirty! Looked like it hadn't been cleaned in awhile! Dumpling makers had one glove on either hand, then were pressing the dumplings together with an ungloved hand. All in all was pretty good despite. 8/10!

****Update**** On my second visit, this past Tuesday night, the restaurant was very understaffed. Michele seemed rushed (but in her defense, she was the only server, which is unfair to her and the customers during peak time). We ended up getting our own containers and bag from the cashier. I tried the peach cloud this time, and it was not blended correctly (I am comparing to the mango cloud from a previous visit) as the drink was not smooth but rather chunky-ish. The Beef Noodle Soup has a high level of white pepper that is off-putting and a distraction from the main components of the noodle soup. We held the pork on the green beans, but 'pickles' were added. This was also quite unfortunate because those also take away from the sauce and green beans. (Last visit, they were soggy little, but this time was awesome) ****************** First timer! Food was delicious... servicing was AWESOME!!! There were two servers on the floor plus another floater... NO pictures of food because I ate EVERYTHING!!! Scallion pancakes and dumplings were wonderful

Service and entertainment are good. Ordered pork Xiao long bao and pork and chives steamed dumplings. The wrappers are very good, handmade and fresh. The meat stuffings were not that great to be honest. Both tasted sweet and can't really taste the meat, it's like very fine ground pork. Hoping they will adjust the stuffings.

I ordered Xiao long bao, har gow, and fried shrimp balls. Har gow were excellent. Shrimp balls were rolled in panko which completely masked the flavor of the shrimp. Wrappers for Xiao long bao were either too thin, overcooked, or both, but all six of my dumplings tore and lost their soup.
