I had such a great experience at Dumpling District! The staff were super friendly and helpful, and the food was absolutely delicious. My personal favorite was the pan-fried pork and crab meat bao buns, they were so juicy and flavorful! I highly recommend trying them. Plus, you can grab boba while enjoying your dumplings, which makes it even better. Definitely worth a visit! Secret stash of blind boxes available for purchases! They are alll sooo cute!

The food was pretty average if you want something quicks its good to eat. I like the fried rice and cucumber salad was great. I got the Mala apicy dumplings, they were NOT SPICY like at all. My mom ate them and has a low tolerance for spice. She got the rainbow dumplings, as another person said they taste all alike. I got the strawberry lemon green tea which was very refreshing. The cashier had a stale face and seemed like she was just ready to go.

Came to Dumpling District mostly for the Labubu promo (kind of embarrassed to admit that), but turns out it doesn’t apply on weekends. You need to spend at least $30 to enter their raffle, but the meal deals don’t count on weekends, so that was a bit of a letdown.
We ordered the rainbow xiaolongbao—super cute and very photogenic. Each dumpling is a different color, with flavors like truffle, crab roe, and spicy chicken. Unfortunately, about half of them had already leaked their soup by the time we got our order, which really took away from the whole xiaolongbao experience. We tried to taste the different flavors, but couldn’t tell them apart—aside from the colors, they all kind of blended together. Maybe too subtle for us.
For the side, you choose between soup or fried rice. I picked the fried rice, but it didn’t taste like fried rice at all—more oily than anything, and lacking in flavor. The drink is just a canned soda, not fountain.
The space is clean and still feels new. It’s shared with a Kung Fu Tea (same owners), which makes the ordering process a little confusing. I think you can upgrade your drink to a boba tea, but there weren’t any clear signs, and we weren’t totally sure how to do it.
One thing that felt a bit off—food pickup is all the way in the back, near the bathroom. Would’ve been nice if pickup was in the front, closer to where we were sitting. Just a small thing, but it makes a difference, especially when the place isn’t crowded.
Bathroom requires a code—just ask up front. Service was quick overall, but with all the little hiccups, the experience didn’t leave a strong impression. Food looks great, but taste and setup could use a bit of tightening up.
Might come back to try other dishes or grab a boba, but not in a huge rush.
