Dumpling & Dough

I had been 5 times already because I love this place so much. The quality and service is just wonderful. My tennis friends and I go for lunch. We have tried the following: papaya salad, wonton soup, steamed pork, crab, shrimp & Squash dumplings. Boiled Handcraft Dumplings are a must, shrimp and veggie eggrolls are so delicious. In overall all the food that we ordered it has been just fantastic. You must stop by to check it out, you will return many times as I did!!!My daughter birthday was last weekend , she decided to cater the food from Dumplin & Dough. I must say everything was warm and the portions was perfect for our family gathering. Everyone enjoyed all the dishes that my daughter ordered.Leon and Shar, thank you so much for your kindness and making my daugher's special!!Rosario

Fast friendly restaurant. Ordered the food and it was ready by the time I got there to pick it up (15 minutes). Food was hot and tasty!Not many vegetarian options on the dumplings and noodles. Ordered the onion pancake and the scallion noodles.The prices are higher compared to other similar restaurants. Will go again after checking prices.3.5 stars rolled up to 4.

Really liked this spot! It's all of the classic dishes you'd find at a dumpling spot in the Bay, with multiple kinds of dumplings, noodles, buns, and more. Felt like a Din Tai Fung alternative, albeit a bit more mom and pop shop-like. Our favorite thing here was strangely enough the truffle brussels sprouts! They were fried to have crispy edges and felt like popcorn, but the saltiness of them was perfect and fairly addictive. The pork and crab XLBs were also great and felt like your standard good soup dumpling. I also really liked the wood ear mushroom salad because it came with white wood ears (which you don't usually find) and made things more texturally interesting.They also threw in a dessert on the house, so we went with the dark chocolate XLBs. They were VERY rich and decadent, and I kind of wish there was something on the side to help offset that richness. I'd still get it again.Will 100% be back for the truffle brussels sprouts though. I'd make a trip JUST for those.

great food and great service! this spot wasn't too crowded on a Thursday evening. for chocolate lovers, you have to get the chocolate dumplings for dessert! i will definitely be back!

It has friendly staff,a cozy seating area, and AMAZING food. my daughter is picky but ate EVERYTHING

We started with the **pork XLB (soup dumplings)**, and they were great. Each bite had savory broth paired with nicely seasoned pork. The delicate wrapper held up beautifully, making it easy to enjoy without any mess--definitely a must-try.Next, we had the **boiled black pepper beef dumplings**, which were equally impressive. The filling was generous and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice from the black pepper that really brought the dish to life. We also opted for the **beef noodle soup**, and it did not disappoint. The broth was rich and comforting, with tender beef. The noodles were cooked to perfection--elastic and satisfying.We also given the **cucumber salad** that provided a nice crunch and a hint of tanginess, perfectly balancing our meal. And let's not forget the **fried tofu**--crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, it was a delightful addition that paired wonderfully with the dipping sauce.The service was friendly and attentive, making our experience even more enjoyable. The interior was also recently renovated and they had nice rustic plates and chop sticks.If you're in the San Carlos area, do yourself a favor and visit Dumpling & Dough. It's a hidden gem that's sure to satisfy your cravings for authentic dumplings and comforting Asian cuisine.

It was just the two of us for Xmas Day this year and it turns out that D&D was open, so we decided to give them a try. Started with the shrimp and cilantro egg rolls which were thin and nicely crispy. Loved them. Next we ordered the shrimp and chive dumplings which were hot and full of juicy filling. After that were the pork xlb (we tried for pork and crab but they were out unfortunately), ... these were also really delicious and came in a choice of four or six. Finally we had the four piece fried pork dumplings which are favorites of mine... hot, crispy and tasty with plenty of delicious filling.We enjoyed everything and service was friendly and fast. Will definitely be back! I am looking forward to trying their noodle dishes and soups!

Found myself seeking shelter from the rain with my wife at this new cozy spot in San Carlos, and boy, did we stumble into dumpling nirvana! They're still in their soft opening phase, but honestly, they're already crushing it!First up - the spicy wonton soup - that had me doing my best dragon impression - first sip hit hard and had both of coughing fire! But on a rainy day? Perfect way to clear those sinuses and warm the soul.Let's talk XLB (soup dumplings) - these little pouches of joy are like flavor grenades that explode in your mouth! The regular steamed dumplings? Not to be outdone by their soupy cousins, they're bringing their A-game too.But the Beijing noodles... oh my! These thick, gooey noodles with their subtle garlic flavor had me contemplating whether it would be socially acceptable to face-plant into the bowl. (I resisted, barely.)They've got these fancy little heating plates for the tea that make you feel like you're participating in some sort of ancient ritual. Every table had one, and I caught at least three people trying to figure out how to sneak them into their bags (kidding, mostly).The staff was so attentive, I'm pretty sure they knew I wanted more water before I did. And just when we thought we were done, they surprised us with a bonus cucumber salad that was sooooo goood!!San Carlos has been crying out for good dumplings and this place delivers! They're small and cozy, but isn't that how all the best dumpling places are?Will be back soon, probably tomorrow, possibly tonight - breakfast of dumplings maybe?

Fantastic! We enjoyed an excellent dinner with very attentive service tonight. Our server was *great* with recommendations! Food was fresh and delicious, with variety to be enjoyed!! Will absolutely be back!!

Okay, this might be my new favorite dumpling place. The four-piece pork buns are delicious and juicy, and my go-to order. I also ordered the hot and sour soup, which was surprisingly cheap and not too sour. I would also order that again. I ordered through DoorDash but will have to come in person next time. So far, I'm really impressed!
