Yummy Dumplings

It makes my heart so happy when I find places like Yummy Dumplings, especially when I am in the mood for delicious dumplings! This place is located right off the 50 in a tiny strip mall. Parking is tight, but doable. I was in the area to get my car serviced so I stopped here before my appointment. The entrance is extremely unassuming, with an equally spartan interior. But don't let that fool you. I didn't really have any expectations set for Yummy Dumplings as I have a pretty high bar for dumplings and didn't want to disappoint myself if they weren't great. But I was very pleased with my lunch. I went with an order of pork and chive dumplings as well as a house fried rice. You order and pay before taking a seat. For $12, you get 10 stuffed, juicy dumplings that come with two dipping sauces, which complimented the dumplings nicely. I also asked for chili oil, which had a lovely roasted flavor. The fried rice was also good. It wasn't exceptional, but it paired well with my dumplings and I liked the texture of the rice itself. I was the only person dining in, so it was a quiet place to enjoy my food. Several people came in during my lunch to pick up their phone orders. During my meal, the owners were chatting away in Cantonese. Next time maybe I'll order in Canto. Yummy Dumplings also offers other classic Chinese fare such as kung pao chicken. I posted an updated menu as part of my review. All the prices are extremely affordable, especially the dumplings! They even have a small drink menu, which I'd be down to try next time I visit. For a tiny, family-run restaurant in Cameron Park, this place is goooood. It's unusual to find good dumplings away from major cities (okay I know it's not that far from Folsom but Cameron Park is a pretty small town), so I'm very happy to have found this place. I can't wait to take my husband here next time we're in the area!

There are food joints that earn a place in your heart and this is one of them. From time to time I go up and down Highway 50 through Cameron Park and Yummy Dumplings is one of my usual stops because of a few factors.One, I just love their pot stickers and when you do order them, I highly recommend their pan fried version. I'm a big advocate of supporting mom and pop joints and you can't get more small-business mom-in' and pop-in' than this Asian restaurant. Above all, these folks are sincere in their good-natured-ness.It's the combination of all that which makes it not only a delicious stop, but it's also how good it makes you feel that you're supporting an honest small-business in an area that makes their offerings unique, ethnic and special.

I ordered the chicken chow mein, wonton soup and chai/Thai tea.The chow mein was mostly noodles with an average amount of chicken and not too many veggies. My grandkids love it! The wonton soup had the broth separate from the 12 wontons along with broccoli and carrots on the side as well. I love this because then the wontons do not get soggy by the time I take it home! The wontons were delicious! They also included two cups of dumpling sauce in case I wanted to eat the wontons on their own which I did! The sauce was yummy too! My daughter in law loves the chai/Thai tea, not sure which it is but it orange color with a lot of milk and it is sweet. I had been here years ago and bought the dumplings. They were tasty but the thick dough is not the type of dumplings that I like so haven't been back. The wontons had thin dough so that is what I will order in the future for sure!The restaurant is small, but there are a few tables in there if you want to eat there. Otherwise you order at the counter.The woman who helped me with my order was pleasant. It took 15 minutes for takeout, at 3 pm on a weekday, which I believe is the majority of their business.

Fresh food that tastes homemade, you can see them making the dumplings and potstickers that are pan fried or deep fried to perfection. Love the generous helpings and it's a good takeout spot! Recommend the kimchi & pork deep fried dumplings, wor wonton soup and the honey walnut shrimp, although I've enjoyed every meal here. It's located in a strip mall but there's always parking.

Both friends I was with after spending a day of wine tasting in the area highly recommended this place. The minute we walked in we saw one of the employees making fresh dumplings. The service was quick and very nice. We shared the wor wonton, fried kimchi pork dumplings, beef chow mein, and chicken and corn pot stickers. That is probably the best chow mein I've eaten. All of the food was delicious and hot, they came out fast with it at our table. We were able to dine in at a table. It's a small place with not a lot of seating. The wor wonton was great especially the wontons in the soup. But my favorite were the deep fried kimchi pork dumplings. You can order the dumplings different styles like fried or steamed. Any other dumpling placed I've dined at, they're usually steamed or come as is. So I had no clue I was missing out on deep fried dumplings this being the 1st time having them served this way.

This small corner restaurant is located on the shopping complex near the freeway exit. We arrived there for lunch on Saturday noon and were seated immediately.- Pork & chive dumplings: BEST dumplings in the area! The dumpling is big! The skin was soft & not too thick. The pork filling was flavorful and juicy! The soy sauce dip was sweet yet savory - perfect for the dumplings.- Chicken & snowpeas: delicious. The veggies (snowpeas, carrot, bell pepper, onions & celery) were fresh and still crunchy. The chicken pieces were tender. And the portion was big.- BBQ pork bao: these were delicious pan fried bao. The bun was soft and fluffy. My kid said the filling was tasty. I didn't have a chance to taste it as my kid finished it all.- Sweet & sour chicken: ok. The portion was quite generous. The chicken pieces were crispy but few pieces were a bit overcooked. The sauce was a bit too sweet for my liking.

Came here just for the dumplings, and I wasn't disappointed. The woman at the counter who took my order was very friendly and smiling. I said we'd like to eat outside, and she said sure. (There was no one sitting outside at the time.) Another woman came to wipe down our table, and not too long after that, the woman who took my order brought it to our table. She apologized for the wait, which was actually only about 5 minutes. My understanding is that their dumplings are either boiled ("dumplings") or fried ("pot stickers"). The latter can be prepared either pan fried or deep fried (your choice). I had the veggie dumplings (so, boiled). They were super fresh (and hot!), and filled with small bits of veggies. I know there were carrots, and maybe celery, chives, ...? Honestly, I'm not sure what was in there, but it was a delicious mixture. The dipping sauce they gave was a delicious blend of sweet, salty, and spicy, with none of those three overwhelmingly strong.You might think 10 dumplings wouldn't be enough for a meal, but for me, it definitely was. They're quite filling, and a good deal for the price. And so tasty!

Finally! A place that makes delicious HAND MADE dumplings. Locals should be thankful that there is an authentic ethnic place with flavor in El Dorado County which actually has quality taste. The lady sits in the front, making dumplings by hand day and not. This is also one place where picky kids won't be picky! Thanks for being here!

At first glance, this place is a complete hole in a wall. Ambiance and charm is zero. But what they do have are yummy dumplings. Hey what a minute... that is also the name of the place.The dumplings are served steamed or pan fried. Either way, there yummy. There are various protein filling. My fave is the ground pork and chives. I have no particular preference in having them steamed or pan fried. Both are delicious.Anyways besides dumplings, they have other menu items such as soups and entrees. The hot n sour is sooo darn good. It is deliciously sour and spicy with a thick smooth consistency. It has bamboo shoots and tofu. The blistered garlic Chinese string beans is another fave.I mentioned this place gives off hole in the wall vibe, but not meaning it to be unclean.Right when you walk in, you might have flashbacks to the 1990s or even earlier due to the basic decor and restaurant furniture. You may also see someone sitting in the corner assembling those yummy dumplings. They do it so quickly and precisely. I didn't get close, just noticed from afar.
