Dough Zone Dumpling House Beaverton

I would like to mention our server, Anna. She was such "a breath of fresh air!" She came to our table with a beautiful smile and a joyfulness to serve us! I cannot say enough about her eagerness to help us navigate our menus, making recommendations, and guiding us ultimately to an amazing array of outstanding dishes! They were: Spicy Beef Shank Seet & Sour Cucumber Pork & Crab Xiao Long Bao Beef Pancake Roll Pork & Shrimp Potstickers Pork Wontons in Chili Sauce Uber Milk Tea (Cold) Also the ambiance of the restaurant was duly noted. Thank you, Dough Zone, Beaverton! We will happily add your restaurant to our frequent stops!

We’re big fans of Chinese soup dumplings, so when a friend recommended “The Dough Zone” in Beaverton, we couldn’t wait to give it a try. The first time we visited, the restaurant was full — a great sign — so we put our name in and took the time to review the menu carefully and plan out our first meal. From that first visit, we were impressed: the dumplings (we ordered chicken and pork) were fresh, perfectly prepared, and really flavorful . Every dish we ordered was great, well-balanced, and clearly made with care. The atmosphere was minimalist but comfortable, and the service was quick and efficient despite how busy they were. Since that initial visit, we’ve been back four or five times in just the past month or two — and each time, the experience has been consistently excellent. Whether it’s the juicy soup dumplings, the savory beef stew noodles, the cucumber salad was exceptional. Honestly, everything we’ve tried has been outstanding. The Dough Zone has quickly become one of our favorite spots, and we highly recommend it to anyone who loves authentic, high-quality dumplings and Chinese comfort food. Prices are great as well. Definitely worth the trip!

I really liked the steamed dumplings and the soup dumplings, the buns left much to be desired. Regardless, the food was good. Our server, Alexa was friendly, but was very busy. The atmosphere as a whole was good, but we were seated right next to the kitchen, and thus it was very loud.

Our first visit! Food was delish and came out very quickly. Best part of our experience was the adorable, bubbly Christina. She was attentive and helpful and checked in frequently to make sure everything was alright even though the restaurant was packed and there were lots of people waiting. Highly recommend the soup dumplings and fried rice that was new on the menu as well as the minced chicken noodles. We will definitely return!

Had a little lunch break and came here with our oldest for a meal. We were seated immediately since it was not very busy and the orders were placed immediately. There were quite a few servers but it is also very challenging trying to flag them down as they seemed busy all the time. Food came out fairly quickly and portions, I must say, are very skimpy. Perhaps, due the rise in prices for ingredients, they are trying to keep up but if charging a lot for each item, portions should also be kept reasonable. Taste of food is mediocre. The noodles are of good texture but a little dry to our preference and taste. The dumplings could be better even though, the texture of the skin is good. Would I go back? I would return for the convenience of not having to wait in long lines but I would suggest that servers be a little more approachable because after all, they "suggest" a tip as you pay for your check.

While the other location on River Road offers a beautiful view and a more relaxed dining atmosphere, this one is an individual store located inside a mall. It does have outdoor tables and a spacious setup, so after stopping by the REI store across the street, I enjoyed an early lunch here. I requested that the Xia Long Pao be served hot to prevent the temperature from dropping, and it came out perfectly, maintaining a very high temperature. However, the Kale Salad, which was ordered together, arrived the latest, so I ended up ordering wontons. Unfortunately, the wontons were underwhelming, as they were served lukewarm and the texture of the dumplings became too soft and mushy. The Jia Jangmyun had a slightly instant noodle-like feel to it, but overall, it was decent. The highlight of the meal was the male server's friendly and attentive service. I firmly believe that Chinese cuisine is best enjoyed with tea, and I recommend trying their Oolong tea.

I love Dough Zone!! We first discovered them in Seattle and anytime we visit Portland I make sure to come by them. They have authentic, real dough dumplings, and I have craved them while pregnant. I really enjoy the Q-bao as they are bready and wonderful. I only wish the prices reflected the quality, as I have noticed they are increasing prices without increasing size or quality, but I will still come occasionally. The servers are kind and quick, and the food always comes out hot and fresh! Make sure to try lots on the menu so you know what to get the next time you come!

Great food. Being our first time there, we wish someone would have explained how the service worked - ordering, dishes don't come out at the same time, how to pay - which seems to be endemic of a lot of newer restaurants which is unfortunate. The staff all seem very focused on their tasks so they were efficient, but that made the atmosphere less personal. We would definitely go back because the food is great, but I hope over time, the staff feels more comfortable in engaging with the customers.
