Dough Zone Dumpling House

Atmosphere is clean and bright. The service is nice because it is table based. However, they hassle you to pay unnecessarily. I ordered pan fried beef 3.5/5 and pork and shrimp 3/5 dumplings. They were served very unattractively upside down. Best thing on the plate is the pickled cabbage 4.5/5.

Dough Zone is a franchise, but they do a great job with the food. You get what you expect and it's delicious. Highly recommended. Service was good. The place can use some work. I think prices went up since last time I visited, 6 months ago.

Pretty good food, at decent prices. Pretty busy, casual dining atmosphere with fast service, but nothing that left me overly wowed. The dumplings and pot stickers were good, but the spicy beef appetizer was too salty.

They used to be great but they changed their recipes so now ALL dumplings have chicken powder in the dough and are no longer vegan so I can no longer go here and enjoy food. Used to be great.

Nice quick service restaurant with less wait times. Sweet and sour cucumber is the best here along with pan fried potstickers. Soupy dumplings are also tasty and the best part is the soup is inside the dumpling. Dan Dan noodles were also good and spicy. The steamed dumplings are meh and not that appealing to the taste buds. Portion sizes are small, so you will have to order more items accordingly.

We got the green onion pancakes, vegetable steamed dumplings and noodles with onion soy sauce. Everything tasted nice. The service was good too. Even on a weekend, we got a table in 10 minutes. The portion size is small.

Wonderful dumpling 🥟 spot, reminds me a lot of some of the soup dumpling 汤包 spots in Beijing. Spent about $25 per person, that's with each person getting one bowl of Dan Dan mian, and five types of dumplings for table to split. My favorites are anything white chicken or shrimp. Definitely tried some of their "featured" bao. Every bite is flavorful, well seasoned, and perfect texture. Most of the sides come in 4's or 6's (it'll tell you on the menu) so easy to split at our table and try a little of everything. They have paper menus to write down the quantity of food items you want. Great staff, polite, and attentive to drink refills. No wait for lunch. Will definitely be coming back.

portions are a bit small but very delicious. their spicy noodles are extremely spicy compared to their spicy wontons, which are not spicy at all - they taste sweet instead. overall quite a nice place to eat though!

I do like Dough Zone :) My favorites are the scallion pancakes and soup dumplings. This time I tried the noodles w beef and they were so so good! Absolutely will be on my short list for here. The naan banana bread was decent but a bit oily and would have been nice with a bit of cinnamon or something.

Ordered the beef noodle soup, pork xiao long bao, spicy wontons, and chive dumplings. My mom and I actually really enjoyed our dishes. For what it's worth, we're both born in Taiwan and eat often at Din Tai Fung. My faves were the beef noodle soup and chive box dumplings. The soup was light and flavorful, not too salty and resembled a bit like pho broth. Bouncy noodles, just right proportions where I wasn't too full to finish the bowl. The chive dumplings were perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy and hot on the inside. Just like the street markets in Taiwan (IYKYK). Love having this in the heart of downtown Redmond. I grew up in Redmond and wish this was around 20 years ago!

Service was great! The place was clean, the food had no flavor, I ordered pork wontons in chili sauce, they were tiny and no flavor, as well as the cold noodles were not great.. beef stew noodle soup had no flavor at all I had to add so much soy sauce vinegar and chili just to taste something. They were out of some items that I actually wanted to try.. so that was a bummer. Wish it was a better experience for my taste buds

Dough zone is a great place for dumplings and wontons. Soup dumplings are must try. Wonton with hot and sour soup is also a must try. They are very tasty. Advice is good and friendly. But sometimes they take time to serve depending on the crowd. Ambiance is simple and neat. One downside I see is the quantity is less when compared to the price. One portion of dumpling might not be good for one person if you want to have somewhat full atleast 2 or 3 portions of dumpling. Even the noodles are of very less quantity. But over all taste wise they are really great and must try.

I like this place for it's good food, accessibility and great service. The dishes were all tasty although on the smaller size. This restaurant is a bit small for a sit down place and lines are common. Sort of a fast food feel but with unique menu items. Reasonably priced, the two of us order 5 plates and we were totally satisfied.

We wanted a quick lunch and Dough Zone fit the build. They do have soup dumplings and a good variety of Dim Sum. Sevice was good . They took order with a check off list and brought items as soon as as they were ready

Had a business lunch here last month. I like this chain, and this was my first time at this location. Great dumplings. Love the green beans. 4 stars because my colleague wanted to order a tea, and the waitress told her they were BOGO. My colleague said she only wanted one, and they still brought her two so she took the extra one home. Also the parking in this place is packed with dead ends and do not park here signs from neighboring businesses.

I am a huge fan of dough zone.! I do not live in the Seattle area, but every time I travel here for work I try and seek it out. I have been to 3 of their locations and I can say the quality of the food is consistently outstanding. There is no variance to the taste of their dishes that I have found. The service has always been very good as well and the prices are very fair.

Basically Din Tai Fung but less expensive and more casual! I was looking for a quick bite to eat while on a work trip and my colleague recommended Dough Zone. I got the cucumbers and beef noodle soup and it was SO GOOD. The beef noodle soup isn't something I usually go for but the noodles were doughy and delicious while the beef was savory and complimented it well. I ordered ahead through door dash and the food was ready as soon as I arrived, about 15 minutes after I ordered it. I absolutely loved this place and will return next time I'm in the Seattle area.

We stopped by a Dough Zone in Portland, OR and weren't too big a fan of it, but decided to give this location a chance. I'd say overall, I really enjoyed our meal and this location. The honey and I ordered steamed dumplings in hot and sour sauce and chicken and pork soup dumplings. Everything was quite good, and the scalding temperature the honey prefers for his dumplings. The service was quick and helpful, and although we would have preferred to order by QR code, filling out the sheet of paper wasn't too bad. We used the facilities (2 restrooms) and then set off for the rest of our day. All in all, Dough Zone definitely redeemed itself for us.

Was a little bummed out with this place since the veggie dumplings that were served to us had a pork or some meat broth in them and it was not informed to us though we let the waiter know that I was pure vegetarian. If not for that the place was amazing! My order: Dan Dan Noodles Sour Plum juice I would totally recommend the Dan Dan noodles and a secret ingredient added to the dish was the highlight. "Sichuan peppercorns" are one of the ingredient and it gives you the unusual numbness in your mouth. Also the beverage collection was amazing. I tried the sour plum and I sume it had pulp in it.

Flavorless. 1. Beef noodle soup has no flavor. 2. Pork stuffing for the bao and soup dumplings has no flavor. 3. Cold noodles in sesame dressing...flavorless.

A decent spot for a quick bite. I came in at 4pm on a grey Monday and the place was empty and it was easy to get seated and served quickly. I ordered the pork xiao long bao ($9.25), the pan fried pork buns ($9.25), the sweet and sour cucumber ($7.15), and the dan dan noodles ($7.75) Xiao long bao: These are pretty standard if not a little worse than average xlb. I felt that the soup inside was slightly bland and I wish there was a bit more flavor. Pan fried pork buns: Probably the best thing I had here. I liked how crispy the bottom was and the filling was delicious. A must grab here. Dan dan noodles: Very heavy on the szechuan peppercorn so if you love that numbing tongue feeling then this is the dish for you -- I personally felt it was a little heavy on the spice and so I didn't enjoy it as much. Sweet and sour cucumber: Very standard and very tasty! Overall, the food is pretty good especially if you're looking for somewhere to go on your lunch break and for a pretty okay price. I would probably only get the pan fried pork bun and the cucumber again from the dishes I ordered and I'd love to come back and try some of their other stuff.

The food I'll say is great. My favorite food item is the chicken steamed dumplings. Absolutely delicious! The service can be a little slow, though it's understandable since the place is so popular. I've also gone to the Renton location recently which is much larger. Both of the locations have a good ambiance. A little fancier, yet manages to be laid back to a certain degree. I did wish my partner and I would have had a more secluded area to sit instead of the middle of one of the sections. That's a personal choice though and it was semi busy so no biggie. Will definitely come back to one of the locations. Thanks for reading, have a good day.

We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for a late lunch. As other reviewers have mentioned, the parking lot was small, but we didn't have trouble finding a spot. We were immediately greeted upon entry and seated. The restaurant was clean and service was friendly. Prices were reasonable. Food was overall just okay. It would be nice to have more vegetarian and more shrimp options (without chicken or pork).

This is our go to quick fix dumpling restaurant. We love the chicken dumplings, veggie dumplings, sweet onion noodles, sweet & sour cucumber, banana pancake and everything savory made in their chili oil. Service is quick, the restaurant is usually clean and they have parking outside.

Hair in food. Server told me it was from Head quarters ?? So you don't check the food before taking it to your customer ?? I use to like to come here but all locations have really fallen off. Not clean.

I still remember going to the tiny Dough Zone in crossroads mall, now dough zone is an international phenomena which many would argue rivals Din Tai Fung in terms of food taste and is more more value in terms of cost. The Redmond downtown location is in a prime area near town center and has reasonable parking. We ordered a bunch of dumplings, potstickers, Pancakes and Dan Dan noodles. Everything tasted fresh and great. The only negative was that their teas are too sweet and they don't tell you upfront. I would not order them again. Service was fast and overall we were left content. Four people eating like pigs only cost us around $134 including tips. We will be back again!

Not really a fan of this location of Dough Zone. This location is pretty small and we ended up having to wait for ~20-30 mins to get seated even at 2pm. Parking lot is also really small and shared between many businesses so difficult to get a spot, and parking at the Dairy Queen isn't allowed either. As for food, pretty much standard for Dough Zone. I found the cucumbers here to not be as flavorful as some of the other locations. XLB and QBao was good though. I will probably just keep to the Overlake location in the future.

I was hangry. I had worked for 8-9 hours with no breaks, and needed FOOD! Saw dough zone on the way to the hotel, and stopped in. They were pretty slow, so I was seated right away. I wasn't really here for the ambience, just the xiao long bao. I ordered a dozen, and waited. They took a little while to arrive (or maybe my perception of time was distorted due to my hangry-ness), but good things can take time. When they arrived, I dug in. I was in HEAVEN. I scarfed those things down like I had never eaten before! They're just so GOOD! Anyway, if you've never been to a DZ before, you really ought to do yourself a favor and change that. Those dumplings are just phenomenal, and you won't regret it!

Looks: Clean, welcoming, cozy. Service: Generous, approachable, friendly. Food: Delicious, comes hot. I have been to Dough Zone several times and it is worth it! If you are interested in dumplings, I recommend it!

Ordered some takeout from Dough Zone; service was friendly and food was ready quickly. Restaurant wasn't too busy at lunchtime, but the parking lot is small and shared with several other businesses, making it difficult to find a parking spot. The noodles with onion soy sauce were good, the noodles are fresh and texture is great, but the portions are a bit small.

Awesome chain with tasty, affordable bites. Great variety too :) You order on a little checkmark paper menu you hand to the staff. Food we tried this time (All in the $6-8 Range): -Spicy Beef Pancake Roll: A bit dry and I wish it had a hint of Hoisin sweetness this dish usually does, but overall enjoyable -Pork & Crab Soup Dumplings: delicate and lovely, good amount of soup -Ma La Noodles: Loved the tingly spice but keep in mind, it really just is noodles in spicy oil -Spicy Pork wontons: Yummy! Total came out to be over $32. Staff was efficient and kind.

We needed to get something to eat since I missed breakfast and lunched. There was no wait when we entered at 3:30pm. Ordered beef pot stickers, 6 per order--- 3/5, Also ordered the Q baos with beef 4to an order. 3.5/5. Then decided to order the pork xlb Shanghai soup dumplings. 5/5. So delicious. Only 6 per order. Will definitely return for more Xlb and other offerings. Service was very good and plenty of free parking right outside the building. Restrooms are unisex and well maintained.

Amazing cucumbers and dumplings...quick service. Good value. Look forward to eating here again.

Yummy! All the dishes came out fresh and hot! We got the beef pancake roll, pork XLB, pork wontons in chili oil, pan fried pork buns, and beef stew noodle soup. Very quick service and quality comparable to Din Tai Fung for 1/3 of the price!

Came here after reading reviews about lot of vegan options. Was looking forward to try Dan Dan noodles, potstickers etc. They have changed the veg menu. With very few options now available. I tried Onion noodles, those were tasteless. May be preferred for kids. Waiter told me that the change was done due to cost cutting. In that case owners should rather just remove these from menu, rather than keeping them and misguiding guests. Waiter and service was great though, he was very nice and accommodating.

It's been years since I last visited Dough Zone and the dim sum was better than I remembered. The menu had new items such as the fried wontons, which were tasty. - Sweet & Sour Cucumber (甜辣小黄瓜) ($6.95) - Dan Dan Noodles (担担面) ($7.50) - Green Onion Pancake (葱油饼) ($3.95) - Pork w/ Crab Meat Xiao Long Bao (蟹肉小笼包): 6 pieces ($8.95) - Q-Bao (特色煎包): 4 pieces of pan-fried pork buns ($9.95) - Fried Wontons w/ Chili Sauce (香煎红油大馄饨): 6 pieces ($6.95) - Braised Pig Ear (卤猪耳) ($6.95) Inside was spacious and not that crowded for a weekday lunch. The parking lot is small and often packed with Starbucks customers. Spaces are always available across the street in the lot next to Red Robin.

I enjoy coming here but the service is usually slow unless the place is very empty. good food but the orders always get mixed up but the flavor is worth it to me

food dishes very small, the noodles not even for a little kids and price kind of not cheap too. If you want to get your stomach full, you need to order more than one orders.

One of my favorite places to get dumplings. Super causal yet clean. The food came out fast and was delicious. If you like dtf, you'll like this too. The spicy wontons aren't as good but the crab/pork dumpling was better in my opinion. I'd come back!

Today I came around 12:30PM and had a wonderful experience at Dough Zone. Tommy, our server, made it even better! He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was fresh, flavorful, and served quickly. Tommy's excellent service truly stood out, can't wait to come back.

Have been here numerous times as the food is generally quite good. Most recently ordered a couple of dumpling dishes including the pork xiao long bao and pork and shrimp boiled dumplings, both of which were delicious. We were less enamored with the beef pancake roll---the pancake itself was nice and crispy on the outside but the beef was a little bland and on the dry side (we've tried this a couple of times now and it's been the same texture/cook each time so perhaps that's the restaurant's preference). The establishment appears clean and well maintained but the wooden seats in the booths aren't very comfortable at all. The good food outweighs the less than comfy seating so we continue to come here.

They vastly overpromise the wait time for pickup orders. I arrived over 10 minutes AFTER the promised ready time, but had to wait 10 more minutes for the food. That's 3x longer than what they promised when placing the order. Furthermore, the waitress couldn't be more careless. No one was at the front desk, and I had to ask a waitress if my order was ready. She didn't say anything and simply turned around and walked away, never getting back to me on how much longer I had to wait, or if my order was ready at all. That's a 3-star experience, but minus 2 stars for accepting only 2 cards per table. They just want to save a little bit transaction fee but cause a lot of troubles for people keeping track of costs and pay each other afterwards. I mean, they're not obligated to accept more credit cards, or accept credit cards at all, but providing less convenience to customers means worse experience.

Absolutely love this place! Great selection and value. We need some tasty broth and noodles but splurged on some dumplings as well. So good we came back before the flight out of town

Customer service was great, I'll start there. They kindly greeted us and when we sat down the waiter was very patient with our party of 7. Our food was out quickly and and still piping hot... just the way I like it. If I were to only give this place a rating based on customer service it would be 5/5! On to the food... we got a variety of things. I liked the soup dumplings and the potstickers. We also got spicy noodles and an assortment of dumplings. The noodles were Extremely salty. That is about all I could taste. It was overpowering. I had to drink so much water to get the taste out of my mouth. Dumpling were good. I would avoid the noodles.

Place has gone to shit. Dirty. Understaffed. And food portions are becoming less and less. I gave this place 5 star six years ago. It definitely is no longer a place to visit. The reduction of portion is the last straw- it's like a big f u to the customers.

Very crowded for just OK Dim Sum...I was hoping for more with these ratings but maybe as a native San Franciscan my bar is just too high for Dim Sum...

*Update* Manager responded by saying we need to tell the staff and workers if we're dissatisfied. We did. What about the man who didn't wash his hand after using the restroom? Would like to know if these unsafe practices are being taken care of.

This was the first meal I had in Redmond and I got this as a recommendation from my sister - and it was pretty good food! A great first meal I had much dim sum in my life and the classics were pretty much here. Dim sum ordering is like sushi ordering with the slip of paper. The food came out really fast as well and I came just before busy hours- let me also say that the serving here is VERY efficient. One tip is that I do suggest coming here with an even amount of people because the food comes out in even numbers for the most part. It was really good to split the food with me and a friend.

First time in this location, we're here at 2pm so no one else were eating. We had our broccoli, beef soul noodles, pork xlb and shrimp zucchini dumplings. We are very familiar with dough zone so we already know what to order. This is still my go to restaurant for something quick to eat. Overall experience was awesome! We'll definitely going togo back.

This was a family favorite restaurant that we used to go and eat every week. Previously they had a lot of vegetarian options to choose from, our favorites were Kale Salad, braised tofu, vegetable potstickers, vegetable steamed dumplings, spicy mala vegetarian, Dan-dan noodles vegetarian. From the last 3-4 months, all of these menu items have been removed. Very disappointed at the decision of Dough Zone management to remove vegetarian options especially at a time where people are making a conscious decision to cut meat from their diet for health reasons. We are forced to go to other places, but we will definitely come back and dine here again, if they add back all their vegetarian options again. It is really bizarre to be removing vegetarian options that were already being served before.

A solid dumpling spot has me saying, "YAY!" We were over on the east side and figured we'd pop in for a late Saturday lunch, and got seated right away. We got the Q-bao (my favorite!), shrimp and pork potstickers, dan dan noodles, zucchini shrimp dumplings (my second fav), and pork soup dumplings and everything was great! I'd probably pass on noodles here next time, since they were a little too saucy/liquid-y, but the dumplings were superb. Recommend if you're in the dumpling mood! It hit the spot!

Still a great place to eat, but sad that there are now a smaller number of dumplings/q baos/ etc per order. Seems like prices are the same too. Docking one star for it but will still be back

Heard rave reviews about this place so decided to come when I visited Seattle. I like the portion sizes because it's quick bites and you can try multiple things, but as a fan of Dan Dan noodles, I was a bit disappointed with the flavor. The noodles made my mouth tingly in not a good way. Service was fast but flavor is lacking.

I am SO glad I did not drink the water tonight. When I picked my water cup at the end of our meal I noticed lipstick on it. I felt immediately sick. They either recycled this cup or ... I don't know what other options there could be. Never coming back.

We go here because the food is just as good as a din Thai fung but so much more affordable. 10/10 recommend

LOVE the Dan Dan Noodles, Xiao Long Bao, Pork Wonton and Crab Pork Dumpling. Everything is so rich and plentiful. Service was fast and friendly. Ambiance was lovely !
