I've been going here for years and up until recently, the food has been (past tense) good. I'm unsure what's going on and question whether there was a change in ownership but everything I ordered was off. Onion pancakes werent cook all the way. The soup for the beef stew noodle was almost like a clear water downed chicken stock. Dumplings were meh. Tofu noodle salad were old and mushy. Green beans had way too much salt and soy sauce. This place used to be packed with a line waiting outside. Now it seems like they can't even fill their dining room. Also found it weird that all food was served in take out containers, and dinnerware comprised of a paper plate , paper cup and plastic utensils ta...

Did I go to dumpling empire three times last week? Yes, yes I did. This is our go to spot for pre or post SFO drop offs/pickups, as well as a necessary stop whenever we go to South Bay by way of SF. I used to fly home to SF and no one would want to pick me up they told me to take BART! Since discovering dumpling empire, every driver in my family is willing to give me an airport ride and the whole family changed their plans to tag along. Anyways, the food. Our favorites are the beef pancake (my brothers ordered four on our last visit), the lamb and pork and chive dumplings, and the garlic bok choy. Also liked the cucumbers and pea sprouts. Wouldn't order the spicy wontons or XLB again (nothin...
Food is delicious, but finding a spot to park was very difficult on a late sunday evening. Each dish ordered was around $9. My favorite between the tong hao (vegetable dish), salt and pepper pork, and spicy beef tendon was the spicy beef tendon. It doesn't say on the menu, but you can purchase white rice for $2/serving. There is indoor seating, but it's pretty limited and feels a bit cramped. I think it's worth it if you order takeout and make your own rice at home.
another great discovery on the grand avenue. dumping empire is not a frills restaurant that lets its food shine and lets the stage take along. while his name makers are probably the star of the show, the other players seem fresh, crispy sweet with deep sesame, garlic and ingwer aromen, just as bright. try the crispy lotus roots, fresh gurke w/ straw mushroom, garlic bok choy and green sliced pfancake.

The dumplings at this restaurant are fresh and full of flavor! The staff is welcoming and attentive. Everything we ordered, from the garlic green beans to the pork, shrimp, and chive dumplings to the lamb, was fresh and absolutely delicious.
eating is great, but the service is missing. the place is small and when we are there, they just looked at us. they did not even welcome us. the tables were somewhat dirty and we were served with paperboard and utensil lol.

This restaurant was a bit of a mixed bag for our group. I am only sharing one photo, but we have visited about three times now. Here is the breakdown: The Beef Stew Noodle Soup... Book a table now
I've ordered more than 10 times from Uber Eats. Consistent great dumplings with good fillings. Thank you for doing a great job!
Small place but great food. Construction made it a little hard to get to but worth it. The walk was nice.
