"A second Civic Center location at 1200 Market St. expands the menu beyond traditional dumplings to items that range from beef goulash to large-format beef momos, alongside steamed dumplings filled with beef, chicken, or lamb." - Dianne de Guzman
"Dumpling House (different from Dumpling Home) is a casual Castro spot that holds its own in the city’s dumpling scene. The low-key space is usually filled with neighbors and groups of friends passing steamers and dunking soup dumplings in vinegar and ginger (the ones here come in those pesky tin foil cups, but hold their form when you pick them up regardless). Boiled dumplings are pudgy and so generously filled they could burst, and the pan-fried pork buns look like mini bean bags. And if you want to watch the entire life cycle of a dumpling, stare over at the TV playing the whole process on loop." - Julia Chen
"Fans flock to Plano and Frisco’s Dumpling House for their shrimp and pork dumplings, among other Chinese favorite dishes." - Rachel Pinn
"At this kind of dollar-dumpling storefront I was astonished by the excellence and low price of their pork pot stickers; the menus offered little else beyond hot-and-sour soup and sometimes kimchi. Equally amazing were wedge-shaped sandwiches made from big round sesame-crusted loaves (shaobing) cooked in the same lidded fryers/steamers: the loaves were cut into wedges, split horizontally, and stuffed with a single slice of dried aromatic beef and a heap of pickled vegetables, sometimes sprinkled with chopped scallions. Priced often around $1.50, these were among the city’s cheapest and most delicious sandwiches." - Robert Sietsema
Handmade dumplings and buns anchor this mom-and-pop favorite, alongside scallion pancakes and northern comfort dishes. Profiled by Visit Plano; regulars praise the soup dumplings and quick, friendly service.
