"This is probably the best little restaurant in the neighborhood with a very nice menu, tasty food and great service usually the one young, man who seems to be always there (maybe the owner?) We live only about 1/2 mile from the shopping center so it could not be more convenient and it is located very close to a Nugget Market, Petco, a very good shipping/mailing store, and Msrshall's.The server is very knowledgeable and does a great job describing and suggesting menu items. We have been here about four or five times and have always found it very satisfying."
"Had a random craving for soup dumplings and figured we would try this place! Was going to get the original xiao long baos but decided to go for truffle. I could actually taste the truffle and it was very flavorful, it was delicious. Got the Cucumber salad (not pictured), which was a refreshing appetizer. Lastly, simple uncle fried rice because a toddler loves rice hahah. it was good, simple, our son approved! overall service was good and quick! provided high chair and a bowl for our son. small and clean location. would come back if ever around the area!"
6 pieces. Slices of slow-simmered beef with onions, scallions, cucumber, cilantro and house special sauce.

"This place is good. I recommend calling ahead or using Yelp to make reservations as there are limited spaces to sit. Items from this place are meant to be shared with whoever you are with. Our family ordered a cucumber salad, chicken chow mien, broccoli, salt and pepper spare ribs, orange chicken, ube baked bao, and other items. Everything tasted great. Our favorite was the chow fun. Those wet noodles were very tasty. The servers were really nice. I enjoyed the staff working the front along with the wait staff. The interior was decorated for lunar new year which is nice. I highly recommend this dumpling restaurant next time you are in the Roseville area."
"This place has THE best shumai and egg tarts that I've ever had. First time here today and I will definitely come back whenever someone I know is in town and we crave for dumplings! Service was so sweet and efficient, and I just can't get over how delicious the shumai was. They were huge, and you would get a shrimp in every bite! I loved living the cart experience and the tea was so soothing and complemented the egg tarts very well. Definitely one of my favorites here and can't wait to be back!The only thing I wouldn't order again was the Xiao Long Bao as I found them to be dry, which isn't good for a soup dumpling. But the other items on the menu were delicious!Ambiance was good. We came right at opening so it started off quiet but it didn't take long for people to come pouring in. The service was excellent!"
"This is my favorite Chinese restaurant to go to! My go-to order is the General's chicken lunch special. Their lunch specials come with a good amount of food! Soup, an egg roll, chow mein, fried rice, and your choice of entree. You can make 2 meals out of the lunch special! The General's chicken is so good, it's hard for me to try and order something different! This time around I decided to try the beef wonton noodle soup. It was really good. The broth was light, yet super flavorful. The wontons were flavored well too. I think next time, I would just get wonton noodle soup. No need for any extra meat in there."
"Cute little traditional spot to grab some lunch or dinner. Our server was very efficient and attentive, brought out out food almost immediately with waters and sauces. I got some bbq pork baos and they were my favorite out of the dishes we ordered. The bbq pork is sweet but not too sweet and has the perfect amount of filling. It pairs well with one of the sweeter sauces. We also tried the chicken and shrimp dumplings and they were really good and filling with the chili oil, and the dumplings themselves were STUFFED. Overall great spot to fulfill my dumpling cravings."

Made a pitstop here on the way back to the bay. Conveniently located in a plaza right off the freeway. Came in right before lunch time, 1130ish which was a good call cause it got busy just after we ordered our food. Apparently you can make reservations ahead of time but we came as a walk in party of 6.Ordered:Cucumber salad - refreshing, could be a bit crunchier Shanghai noodles - yummy! I love udon noodles so these were right up my alley Dumplings in chili oil - always a must! Had a bunch of pieces so a good plate to share Pan fried shrimp and pork dumplings - I really liked the crispy bottom. There's a soup inside so be careful when biting in to it and give it some time to cool down but texture wise, I really liked having the crispy bottom House spicy fried rice - didn't really get a kick from it but it had a lot going on but in a good way. Chinese sausage, corn, peas, shrimp, everything!Dry fried green beans - I always love a good green bean! Crunchy, good shareable plate, had bits of chicken. Dipped it with the chili oil for an extra kick Beef soup - beef was tender, soup was SO flavorful, had lots of noodles, and the bok choy for veggies. Would recommend!Pork soup dumplings - came with 8 pieces and they give the sauce on the side. Be careful when picking it up as the bottoms tend to break. I like to bite the top, add the sauce and some chili sauce.They have a one person stall. There's tons of parking. Service was quick and friendly. They came by the table to check in. Would definitely come back!

Excellent experience! Things I loved:-Very short wait time of 5-10 minutes on a Friday night despite being full and lively here.-BEST DRINKS! The Thai tornado and lychee drink were reason alone to come here.-Clean, modern restaurant-Attentive and kind customer service. They have cards on the table explaining to less experienced people like us how to properly eat a soup dumpling.-Chocolate dumplings were decadent!-Pork soup dumplings were great. Black truffle with gold flecks are good but have a prettier appearance than taste.-Loved the garlic noodles, so soft and buttery!-I wish they had more dim sum items available on their menu, but we were still very happy with what we ordered!

10/10!!! Had a reservation and was seated immediately, 5:30 on a Friday. All the food was amazing, Bao buns, garlic green beans, chow fun, honey walnut prawns and the wontons in the sauce were my favorite. Secret sauce mixture: ask for fresh ginger. Combine ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil. Use this concoction for dipping.Will definitely be coming back soon. Similar to Din Tai Fung... just missing chocolate dim sum ¨

OMG I lived in the Sac region for over 25+ years and I don't know how I missed ever coming to Ming Dynasty! I got invited to my daughter's BF Chinese New Year family dinner here a few weeks back and OMG was I impressed. I have driven right past this place for years and even a few weeks back the outside wouldn't have pulled me in. Parked outside a little sketchy with some the homeless people wandering around, but they did have a security guard so made it feel a little safer. Walking in not what I was expecting either felt more like a banquet hall more than anything. What did catch my eye were the massive fish tanks across the back wall with tons of lobsters, crabs and other delicious seafood! Inside to be honest nothing special and the bathrooms not that special either actually kinda dirty on my night visiting. But what made up for it was the amazing service and even more amazing food! This place brought me back to eating in downtown SF as a kid in China Town. Everything is served family style and the flavors out of bounds! My absolute hands down favorites were lobster chow mein literally with the whole lobster. Then the Peking duck and build your own boa buns with plum sauce was so good!!!! I loved the environment here as well on the night I was here it was such a party with huge families gathered to celebrate. So happy I got the invite and look forward hopefully getting another one next year!

The food is delicious and the staff is quick. There is a parking lot on the side but it's in a walkable location.

I'm a sucker for dumplings and noodles and Dumpling House satisfies my cravings every time! If I'm in the area, I'll place an order to go. I love their pork and chive dumpling, Shu Mai, and chow mein. The Dan Dan noodles are good too. If I'm in a rush and don't have time to go to Lam Kwong for their BBQ pork Bao, I'll just get it here. Overall, I like the convenience of Dumpling House. They satisfy my hankering for some Dim Sum. Wish they had Har Gow. The menu isn't all that you would find in a typical dim sum joint but it does the job !.

Came here on a Wednesday night. I hadn't been here in like 10 years. Prices are pretty decent considering serving sizes (which are pretty decent). Apparently they have really good roasted squab here, which my grandparents like, but I personally didn't try it. The roast duck was good. Green beans with xo sauce and roast pork, chow mein had good wok hay. Overall was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance is just ok- the restaurant is a little run down. And it was like 79° in there. Service is good though. They even offered to switch out plates on a normal meal. No soup or dessert included if ordering for the normal menu.The surrounding area is a bit sketchy. Def don't leave anything in your car. They have parking lot security which is good.

Can't believe it's been 4 years since coming back here. Super modern and bright space. There's lots of knick knacks to look at and snacks to buy. It feels like a family setting with several board games, hot wheels, traditional tea, etc. I was offered a sample of a peanut brittle. It was delicious! Noted the hot warm buns. They have a boba and dim sum combo for $8!! Oddly didn't notice the large banner coming in but saw it coming out. Mango Passionfruit Tea. Super tasty and super sweet. Will need to adjust sweetness next time. Staff are really sweet. Noted the barista cleaned off chairs tables and windows. Smiled each time she passed me. It's a small space but the energy is bright. I'll come back sooner than 4 years!!

"We are not strangers to dim sum, so we decided to try this place. It was so cold and windy outside, and they sat us by the door which froze us. That was very unpleasant. But this place was slammin'. They food never stops coming around. The workers are always busy. It is hard to understand what they are offering you to eat, but I guess that is how you try things. We have been to other dim sum places, and this one seemed a little more expensive than our normal place, and they didn't seem to have as much, unless those carts just didn't make it to us. What we did get, we enjoyed. It was a little far away from home to travel to, but if we go to that area, we would go there again."
"Competitively priced. Plentiful options. Great flavor and sweetness. Clean and spacious Boba shop.Most important? Friendly and kind service! -One regular Thai Tea with Boba -One Thai Tea with Boba and 80% sugar -One Taro Tea with less ice and 80% sugar Everyone was a happy camper. Side note: 80% is plenty sweet will even give 50% a try next time. Again, super sweet associates working."
"No frills just fresh steamed dumplings and buns. The classic dim sum fare. Cash and card accepted! This is more a takeout spot but the dumplings are authentic."
"First time to restaurant. Ordered chicken chow mien, barbecue pork buns and gyoza. All the dishes were very good. Lots of chicken in the dish. The steamed buns and gyoza very very tasty. The sauces that went with the dishes were excellent. Very busy traffic area and not too much parking available. I will definitely be going to this restaurant again."
"Tried out some dim sum to go here. It's hidden deep within the Pocket area so you have to be committed, but the food was good enough that I'll return. Plenty of free parking in the strip mall and they also take credit card with a $10 minimum.Chicken big bun - fluffy bao dough and generous portion of chicken (with a boiled egg and inch of Chinese sausage encased inside the meat). Would definitely get again.Pork big bun - similar to the chicken bun but includes chives so it is more herby tasting. If you're buying both, the pork has the yellow dot on top to help distinguish.Pork/Shrimp siu mai - comparable to ABC in size and flavor. If you order fresh they cost slightly more, and if you order frozen, they are slightly cheaper for a dozen. Would come back to try this and other frozen dumplings.Chives dumpling - shrimp and chives in a rice flour dumpling. Generous meat portions and tastes great if you like chives.Cilantro dumpling - similar to the chives dumpling but with cilantro instead. I preferred the chives flavor slightly but liked both. Sticky rice in lotus leaf - flavor and filling was ok, but the rice was softer/wetter than I prefer. Would likely skip next time. Taro bun - I love purple so this was very pretty. It's not too sweet either but rich tasting from the taro filling. I would get this again for my mom and SO.Matcha sesame ball - handles reheating in air fryer well. It was still chewy inside and packed with nutty sesame filling. Hard to pick up the matcha flavor though. Would get this or regular sesame ball next time.Curry beef pie - delicious buttery flaky crust. If you like curry you will like this. I'm not the biggest fan so would skip this next time.BBQ pork pie - another great crust and the filling was delicious but for the same price I prefer the meat to pastry ratio of the ABC pork puff.Coconut pie - might have been because I reheated this in the air fryer first but it was a bit dryer than I would like. Likely not going to rebuy this one either."
"Quality/Quantity - Huge extensive menu, but they were still able to do ALL of it well!And our guest tried to order everything on the menu, JK.Complimentary appetizers, Deep Fried Rice and Meat Pocket - Thank you, and it was piping HOT off the frier. Fried Cheese Wonton (6) - Fresh out of the fryer, so wait a few minutes before eating or you might burn yourself. My daughter's favorite.Shrimp Dumplings - Good.Pork Dumpling - Good, consistent with typical dim sum.Shark Fin Dumpling - One of my favorites!Chao Zhou Dumpling - As there were only 3, I forfeited my share. Plus I do not really enjoy peanut dim sum.Beef Rice Noodle Roll - Two orders; we were only able to finish one.Pan Fried Pork Bun - Fried well. Well proportioned with bread/dough and filling. See picture of the half bun.Sticky Rice, Chicken - We were all so full that no one ate this. Gave one to our guest to take home, and we took the other home. Might update this review after eating.Minced Pork Lettuce Wrap - Home run, fresh crispy lettuce with flavorful pork. Need I say more?Pan Fried Stuffed Tofu - Another one of my daughter's favorite.Pan Fried Stuffed Mushrooms - Another daughter's favorite.Pan Fried Stuffed Eggplant - Trying to eat healthier.Hot Tea - Thanks for using real tea leaves rather than tea bags. But I would prefer a filter to minimize the leaves in my cup.Thai Iced Tea - Good, a treat for my well deserved daughter. Atmosphere - Huge location. Banquet room, side semi private room, main dining room, etc.Open 7 days a week from 11am to 9pm.Plenty of mall parking.Service - 5+ stars! Looks like the entire extended family works and eats here.Everyone is so welcoming and friendly.Plus, thank you for all the complementary foods, etc.It also helps that our guest is a regular customer.Price - $110 + generous tip. Inexpensive for all that we got!Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2021. I know it is getting more and more competitive in the banquet room market; wishing you the best."
"I gave Yum Cha Cafe a called and placed an order over the phone. Placed a $50 deposit over the phone and paid the rest at the store. Our order was on time and ready for pick up when we got there. The whole roast pork was really great. The skin is super crispy and seasoning was evenly flavored. My family really liked the roasted pork and will definitely ordered from Yum Cha Cafe again."
"Didn't know what to expect from a new restaurant featured on doordash with no reviews on Yelp, but I was pleasantly surprised! Greatly appreciated the combo which had two of my favs (siu mai, har gow) and two that I wouldn't usually order (lotus wrap, pork bun) ALL were delicious! Didn't need any sauce but I love hot chili oil and soy sauce so a meager drip went a long way.Definitely would eat again, either via delivery or visiting the new Sactown Eats locations!"
