Town of Dumpling

My review is only on the take out. I haven't dined in before, but it's a small shop with maybe 8-10 small tables? Real no-frills mom and pop shop, which helps keep prices low!We've ordered food from here a few times and have enjoyed all of the dishes, though some more than others:- The dumplings (including soup dumplings) are good, skin has great texture. - Lamb skewers are good, though wish they gave more- Noodle with bean paste is good, but nothing special - Beef noodle soup, noodles are a good texture but again nothing special. Maybe I'm not that into beef noodle soup. I find it comparable to Ox9 downtown (which I also don't get the hype)- If you like spice, ask their chili!! It is so good. We only got it recently and I'm sad I missed out on it all the other times They sell frozen dumplings that you can buy to steam at home. I haven't tried them yet but I want to soon!!The only reason my review is not 5 stars is cause, although everything was good, not everything was amazing. We will be back whenever I'm craving dumplings!

Arrived approximately 3pm on a Sunday, our first time in. We were greeted and seated right away. Although we were the only customers in the restaurant, it took a bit before our order was taken and quite a long time to get our food. The entire staff had just sat down for their lunch and we had to wait for them to finish eating before the "kitchen reopened"? !Combination fried rice, sesame beef pancake plus pork and shrimp dumplings, were just basic. Suggestion : repair the machine that makes a loud sound, as if a clothes dryer tumbling a load of sneakers or operate it after closing. You have to know it resonates throughout your restaurant and is very unpleasant. Good luck in the new year.

It's convenient for take out orders now that they have an online ordering system. Since the menu has lots of good items, I can take my time in deciding. When I get there the staff has my order ready and packed for take out. Favorites are - green onion pancakes - 5 spice marinated beef- beef tendon- green chive and pork dumplings - Xiao long baoSo so- bean curd thread noodles (small quantity)- beef pancake (expected more beef)Overall, Towm of Dumpling is a good choice. Not that many tables and ambiance but you are going there for the food.

The Best Shanghai cooking in the Bay Area! In a tiny strip mall a minute from Hillsdale shopping center this is a hidden gem! Not Fancy but the food was fresh and correctly flavored! Soup dumplings and beef noodle soup BETTER than Din Tai Fung!!! Beef tendon and wood ear mushroom and cucumber appetizers perfect textures! Server/owner friendly, fast and efficient! Coming back tomorrow with my family!

A rustic gem of authentic Chinese cuisine.Their homemade hot sauce is phenomenal, and you can buy it by the bottle.On this rainy day I had the pork and mustard green soup.Broth was perfect!

This is a really cute and authentic Chinese restaurant. The people are really friendly and service was fast! And ofc they all speak Mandarin, so we enjoyed chatting with the guy who took our order. We didn't come with empty stomachs so we tried a bunch of the smaller dishes. Overall, everything tasted really yummy. I would say some dishes were a bit too salty which overpowered some of the flavors. The dumplings tasted like they were made with love and you can see ladies making them in the back as you eat! I liked the pork & chive dumplings the most (a classic). The dumpling skins are the perfect thickness and texture! I'd definitely come back to try other dishes!

What a pleasant surprise to find this great Chinese spot in my neighborhood! Can't believe I've never tried it. Most Chinese restaurants in the peninsula are heavily Cantonese-influenced, but this one is not, which is a nice change of pace. Highlight is definitely the dumplings, you can watch the aunties portioning out dough and making them by hand behind the glass in the kitchen. The dumplings are flavorful, and the homemade skins are perfectly thick and chewy. Thank goodness they sell the dumplings frozen so you can keep them on hand to eat anytime!Sesame pancake with beef is a must try as well - perfectly crispy pancakes. Sleeper hit - dry fried green beans. This is a Chinese menu staple, but they really do it well here. Beans are actually blistered, it's not too salty, and it comes with strips of fried tofu as well. The only critique I had is the "bean curd stick" or fu zhu salad lacked a little flavor to me, but it was still tasty!Overall, love this place (and that dishes are not too salty) and will come back again and again.

Soup dumplings are delicious, take out service was quick. Place is a hole in the wall, but I've always had a good experience there!

Tasty fresh pork and shrimp dumplings, and wonton noodle soup good too. They also have frozen dumplings you can buy to go.I'd visit this small mom and pop restaurant again to try other varieties of dumplings and other offerings. It's near Samaritan House, in a small older strip mall. Every small business can use our business particularly now, so please check them out.

This family owned restaurant is a gem. Food is delicious, I highly recommend their handmade pork with Napa cabbage dumplings. They are so good that I buy the frozen ones to enjoy at home. While dining, I can always hear others coming in to purchase them too. Also try the soup dumplings! Authentic Chinese food with great service. The restaurant owner Allen makes you feel right at home.
