Tasty Dumpling

One of the best places to get dumplings and XLB in the Sacramento area IMO. The dumplings are tasty and well wrapped (XLB doesn't fall apart or leak when you pick it up!). Keep in mind that they use the same filling for all the dumplings so what you order just determines how it is wrapped and cooked. The other dishes such as the dry braised string beans, beef noodles, popcorn chicken, green onion pancakes, beef rolls, etc, are all worth a try too!Order at the counter, they give you a number, and you grab your seat. It's a little tight in there, therefore, not good for large parties. Located in the same parking lot as Safeway, next to Peet's.

OG Spot, But Things Have Changed Food: 7/10My family and I have been coming here since day one, and the dumplings? Always been juicy and delicious. But over the years, I've definitely noticed a change--the dumplings used to be bigger and juicier back in the day. They're still good, just... not as good as before. That said, the flavors are consistent, and their spicy vinegar is elite. Efficiency: 9/10Super popular spot, but they run a tight ship--service is fast, and the staff is always kind. Parking/Location: 10/10Located in Crocker Village, so parking is no stress at all. Major plus. Final Thoughts:This place will always have a special place in my heart, but I do miss the OG dumpling size. Still, if you're craving solid dumplings with consistent quality, it's worth a visit!

I stopped by here for take out dinner since I was going to the Chip Cookies Yelp event. Very happy with this decision because the food was so TASTY! I ordered braised beef brisket noodle soup ($15), pan fried juicy pork dumplings ($13,) stir fried green beans ($12) and they kindly added a surprise container of steamed pork dumplings! I wasn't antsy or angry about the wait but I think they put it in there as an apologetic thank you. I didn't notice extra the container until we got home.Promptly greeted when I walked in, they were quite busy with diners and to-go orders. I pre-ordered online using their website and had a seat on the barstools at the front. You can see the kitchen and watch chefs working hard to fulfill all the orders. My mom loves potstickers but her favorites were the soup and green beans. Looking forward to coming back when we are in the area again. I'd like to dine in and try their XLB.

Good homemade dumplings [Sacramento CA]Looking for a place to have dinner while already here for a Yelp Experience Event at Chip Cookies and apparently there were a lot of food options but we were in the mood for dumplings so we chose this restaurant. The restaurant is narrow as you enter but deep and all the table seating were against the wall with a nice decorated mural. One long high table seating that could seat 4 or 5 is on the opposite side of the wall towards the front of the restaurant. A counter service restaurant we placed our order with the gentleman in front who was busy preparing online orders. We were fortunate to find seating. We placed our order for the following: D2. Pork & Shrimp Steamed DumplingP1. Pan Fried Juicy Pork Bun (6pcs)B1. Pork Bun (2pcs)Food came at a reasonable time, actually food came fast. Everything was yummy. The dumplings were tasty, very flavorful, they are made in house behind a large window where you can watch them prepare them. First time trying the Pan Fried Juicy Pork Bun and really liked it.Pleasant first time experience at Tasty Dumpling.Review #3633

Looks like a nice place for dumplings. Fast service. Lots of chopping sounds. Not busy in the afternoon. Yummy food.

We were coming back down from South Lake Tahoe to the Bay Area and were looking for something yummy to start off the new year. Plus, we needed to make a pit stop. Found this place on Yelp:You order at the counter and take a seat. It was near-empty on New Year day at 1pm. We ordered the pork postickers, pork XLB, and wanted soup, so we got braised beef noodle. There is a window where you can watch the staff carefully make each dumpling, which my son loved. The food was straightforward and yummy. The braised beef noodle soup wasn't as seasoned as we would have liked, but filling nonetheless for people who were craving something soupy anyway. Straightforward and delicious dumplings!

Two of us enjoy a nice lunch here. I would review the menu online before you arrive. Portions are good size, and prices are reasonable. Service is quick, but seating is a bit limited. We were lucky, but the place filled while we were waiting for our meal. Can't wait for round two!!

I went to Tasty Dumpling for the first time for dinner tonight with a friend and it exceeded my expectations! They are located inside the giant Crocker Village shopping center across from Safeway.We ordered the Vegetarian Dumplings and the Cold Noodles (non spicy). The Cold Noodles came out first, it was just wide noodles with thinly sliced cucumber and some kind of sauce on it. It was very light and refreshing - we added our own chili oil to it for a little kick. The dumplings took a little while to come out, but I know it's because they make them fresh to order. The Vegetarian Dumplings were packed with flavor and better than some of the meat ones I've had at other restaurants. They stayed together and did not fall apart when we tired picking them up. I would order this again!The inside is small with a select number of tables, but I like that you can see the kitchen from the front and watch them make the dumplings. Staff were friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back to try more items! Check them out!

The dumplings are the best dumplings on earth according to my son. They are really good, made fresh in house. I know because we watched them make them! They can get disorganized when busy, but that's to be expected these days. Highly recommended!

Dumplings are always good here! The chili oil never disappoints.Service is great each time.
