Dodo Dumpling

I came here for lunch, and when I arrived I was the only customer, but when I left it was getting busy. It's seems like it gets more foot traffic for dinner. I got the egg/shrimp/veg dumplings, the cucumber salad, and the matcha latte. Of all the items, the matcha latte was my favorite, and not because the other items weren't good; but because the latte was amazing! The dumplings were made fresh, and the cucumber salad also seemed to be made fresh as well.Staff checked on me when I was served, and when I was done. I appreciated the attentive customer service. They have a covered porch area which I imagine will be really nice when it gets cold. They also have an outdoor patio which is cute and surrounded my trees that provide shade.Some things to note about this business; you can choose between having your dumplings steamed or fried. I had mine steamed and they were great. You can also choose from several different kinds of dairy free milk for beverages, making this place a good option for vegans as well as vegetarians. They had soy, oat, and almond milk. They also seem to offer some kind of subscription service, which may be worth checking out for folks who want to eat here regularly.My only points of feedback are; it would be really nice if there was a place to park bicycles nearby. Also, it seemed like there was enough demand for dine-in to justify reusable dishware. I would recommend providing options other than takeout containers for dine in guests. The lack of dishware, however, seems understandable for such a young business.Overall, great service, yummy food, and a cute and quiet ambiance. I recommend it!

Way over priced. The restaurant is super cute even though the seatings are very limited.We ordered the cabbage pork and the chive shrimp steamed dumplings. The first impression seeing the food- they were appetizers and definitely not a single-order meal. The dumplings were tiny and definitely could use more stuffing. The flavor wise I was happy with the chive ones, they were fragrant and on point. Not so much for the cabbage ones, the texture was saggy and lack of the crunch you'd get from the traditional cabbage pork dumplings.We actually went to a second restaurant after eating the starters here.

We had such high hopes and sorely disappointed. These dumplings were so bad! Not only were they improperly steamed, the dough was gummy and just terrible, almost as if undercooked, but also overpriced. $40 dollars for two orders of dumplings and a salad! Not the kind of price that you'd expect from a "cart like" location. Expect your dumplings to come in paper containers, small plastic portion cups for dipping sauce are barely filled, and hot oil is left unfilled at the counter. This was not worth the $40 experience

Dodo Dumpling was great! Decently sized menu, large and easy to read. Service was quick and kind, the space is well thought out and clean. Dumplings are tasty, and lemonade wasn't too sweet! I'll be back to try more!

Yum! So delicious! The miso mushroom is great and I love the chili oil added on the side. Definitely a great neighborhood spot to check out

I have gotten dumplings from this super cute little dumpling shop twice already and it does not disappoint. I have had the shrimp dumplings, the mushroom dumplings, and the broccoli salad. They are all fantastic but the mushroom dumplings are hands down my favorite. The owners are very friendly, I highly recommend this restaurant.

Popped over at 8:15 on a Saturday night sooo excited to try the miso mushroom dumplings only to find the place locked up. No signage or anything indicating early closure. Such a bummer especially considering for once we hired a sitter and made the trek from SE. I hope to one day make it back to actually try the food, but in the meanwhile do yourself a favor and call before making an arduous journey.

I have been visiting Portland for several years and this new restaurant is quite a gem to find. I had a really nice meal there with my niece. And a couple days later, I couldn't wait to share their food with my sister and brother-in-law at a picnic watching the swifts. I look forward to coming back. The pork and cabbage dumplings are my favorite.

Dumplings filling need more taste to accurately to their menu description item . They were tasty indeed fresh and hot! pass on the cucumber salad nothing like the picture on menu. It was served in a plastic container drowning in hot sauce .... Had to ask them to dump some sauce out .too bad . They have potential so I'll try another item next time .

I came here a couple of times a week ago only to find the establishment to be closed both days during their regular operating hours. Guess they closed due to running out of dumplings.I finally gave them a third try today, and they were actually open. The attendant told me they will be closed every Monday to prep for the week to mitigate any future closures.I ended up joining their month membership to take advantage of the half off price on dumplings. And, ordered the traditional beef, and chive, egg and shrimp dumpling. With the membership, I also get one free drink a month, so I ordered a matcha latte with my membership.My first impression on the quality of food is pretty good so far. Both types of dumplings tasted fresh and clean. The sauces that came with the dumplings paired well with the dumplings. I am excited to try the other types of dumplings.I would have given this place a 5 star review for the quality and service. The loss of 1 star is due to the closure that occurred and the lack of clear communication.
