Reviews:
Went to Mom Dumpling around 5PM on a Sunday with a party of 2 and it wasn't busy at all! We were quickly seated and we ordered 3 dishes.
House Chow Mein 5/5: It was so tasty. Probably some of the best chow mein I've ever had. Perfect amount of sauce and was a great portion for two people. I would recommend ordering more than one if you have a larger party.
Beef Rolls 4.5/5: Very refreshing because they are served more room temperature-cold. Mm the hoisin sauce (I think) and cold vegetables made me feel like I was eating peking duck!! A little oily though, but still very good and I would order it again.
Fried Xiao Long Bao 3.5/5: Good, but nothing special. The broth was just okay, but the xiao long bao was cooked very well overall (perfect crunch on the fried part, and tender juicy filling). I just feel like there are better xiao long bao out there.
Overall great service and food!! I do think it leans a little more expensive for the entrees in terms of Chinese restaurant portions, but was definitely worth it because of how yummy it was!!
Only downside was that they didn't have 韭菜盒子 (chive pockets) when we went. I think you have to get there pretty early to snag some :-(
Will be coming back to munch!
Honestly we started eating before I could pictures in but this was some of the best dumplings I've ever had! The soup dumplings were absolutely amazing and are top 5 things I've ever put in my mouth. The green beans were my second favorite they were so flavorful and crispy! Everything else was equally as good and this is a spot I recommend if you're in the area. The only bone I have to pick is that they gave me a fork to eat dumplings with instead of chopsticks and then never brought me chopsticks when I asked for them. Note to the owner, yes, non-asian people like using chopsticks too lol!
Came in on a Friday evening for date night and service was so quick and polite. We ordered a bunch of plates and shared. My favorites were the fried rice and veggie dumplings. We definitely recommend!
We came here to pick up a convenient appetizer to bring to a family friend. We ordered xiao long bao and pork buns. They both have pork inside and is filled with soup and were delicious. My mom likes it so much she wants to go back the next time we are in the area. We thought the price was pretty high but it was very delicious and may be better than what we have in SoCal SGV area.
I recommend dipping in sauce and popping a whole xiao long bao in your mouth to let in all the soup in your mouth. For the baos, take a bite and then drink/slurp the soup out; otherwise you lose the soup as it drips out. The bao is very crispy at the bottom and soft on top, great balance of texture.
Sister restaurant to the one near SF State and Park Merced. Same menu, food is the same, service is the same, place is a little brighter and in a nicer strip mall than the one in SF. The meat on the dumplings is also loose just like the other restaurant, not compacted like other places.
My dad took my husband and me here for lunch today, and the owner was so sweet and welcoming! The food was hot and delicious! We ordered the house xiao long baos; beef noodle soup; pork, chive, and shrimp pot stickers; and my (and my dad's) favorite, the house pan fried pork baos (生煎包)! The pork baos were hot and soupy on the inside, and perfectly crispy on the bottom, not to mention how tasty they looked even before my first bite; so much so that I felt compelled to take a picture :)
Side note: I love that they have these cute red spoons that fit the xlb perfectly, so none of the soup goes to waste!
Seems like a place that could be easily brushed over, being in a plaza filled with other food to eat, but I hope you stop by for authentic baos and satisfaction
The food was great! It was our first time going there and the people there were helpful. We took a while to decide on what to order. After looking at the menu we decided to try out the dumplings. I would definitely come back and order the dumplings again. The place is clean and plenty of parking spaces to park. Easy to find the restaurant.
So so so good! Far better than Coy Palace in Dublin which has lines out the door? dumplings are as fresh as can be!
Truly a hidden gem.
The shop may as well be considered a whole in the wall compared to all the other places in Pleasanton.
Only focus on the dumplings, don't get chow me in or anything else. The dumplings retain the juicy soup and actually tastes like you just teleported to China. I would skip the crab xiao long Bao, since it's literally bits of crab on the tip for an extra $3.
The cute dumpling spoon is a plus. I've never seen something like it before, despite eating at so many dumpling places in my life.
Great customer service and even better good! The pork wontons in chili oil were my favorite but all the food is delicious. Would absolutely come back!
Came here with the boo after seeing such great reviews. We were seated instantly and given time to order from their decently sized menu. Everything we ordered was great. The pig ear had the perfect amount of crunch, and was perfectly spicy. The XLB came out piping hot and the skin was nice and thin. The size of the XLB was also quite large and filled with steamy hot broth. The pan fried dumplings were also excellent. The crunchy exterior gave way to a nicely chewy crust and juicy meat filled interior. I really loved the green beans too. There were little bits of meat that added to the overall savoriness of the dish. My least favorite was probably the chili oil dumplings. I sort of expected them to have some sweetness to the sauce (kind of like at Din Tai Fung), but it was literally dumplings covered in chili oil. All in all a fantastic place to eat. We will definitely be coming back for more!
Mom Dumpling has been on my list of places to try for a while so I was super excited to finally try it. The XLB was the best I've had in a while and the TanTan noodles were another favorite. Looking forward to trying their frozen dumplings as well. This is going to be my go to place for dumplings now!
