Dumpling Time

This place was great to stop and eat on my way back home. My dad got the Combination Lo Mein (or whats left of it) the noodles were thin which is not an issue for me and it has lots of veggies if you dont like that,I got the Seseme Chicken which i LOVE because unlike other places where the chicken kinda get a mushy texture this is crispy and it never got mush even when my plate got cold. I also got the pan fried Pork buns as an appetizer surprisingly my dad really liked the buns were not thick like ive tried at other places. The bottom is thick as a support for the pork inside but since it was fried the bottom was a nice and crunchy texture qith a soft exterior which was amazing. I recommend the pan fried buns if it is your first time trying them out. Everything is cooked quick and on the spot DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE PHOTOS these are big portions. The ladies that helped me were so nice and explain. everything.

I wasn't real sure being in a strip center but the food was actually really good, the atmosphere was great and the service was spot on. They attended to us in a great amount of detail and the prices were reasonable. Even the bathroom was an attention to detail, clean and stocked wih fragrant hand lotion from overseas. I would definitely recommend this place.

Top notch dumplings! Service was fast and friendly, very attentive. We had the fried buns and soup dumplings, both fantastic. Great place for lunch or dinner. Food was out in roughly 5 mins, truly amazing for handmade dumplings.

The food was super fresh and tasty, the staff were really nice, and the milk tea was amazing! I especially loved the pan-fried buns — they were so good! Had such a great time here, and I’ll definitely be back.

We are so lucky that we stop at the right place. I have best fried rice I ever eat and the dumplings soup was so good, their food clean not oily 👍🏼 Will be back for sure and very recommended. Clean restroom.. 💗

If you’re looking for the best Asian fusion spot in Baytown, Dumpling Time absolutely delivers! From the moment you walk in, the vibe is warm and inviting, with friendly service and a menu packed with bold, flavorful options. I tried their pork dumplings, chicken fried rice, and beef chow fun noodles—and every dish was on point. The dumplings were perfectly pan-seared on the outside and juicy on the inside, bursting with flavor. The fried rice had the right balance of seasoning and wok-char, while the noodles were silky, chewy, and coated in a savory sauce that tied everything together beautifully. What makes this place stand out is how fresh everything tastes—you can really tell they make their dumplings and baos in-house. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the food comes out hot and fast. If you’re into Asian fusion and want something better than the typical takeout, this is the spot. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or sitting down for dinner with friends, Dumpling Time is easily a must-try in Baytown.

This was such a pleasant surprise! Just a random stop, and found this place to be a Gem. I ordered the recommended Spicy Noodle soup and it was delicious! I will definattely stop here again.

Great stop for some wonderful Asian food! We love the Sesame Balls and we haven’t found them until now anywhere but 99 Ranch.

DumplingTime is a fresh and modern eatery positioned in the middle of a strip mall off I-10. The pork bun was juicy and delicious with a crispy bottom and fluffy light and soft bun on top, served fresh and hot. Ginger noodles were excellent and light. Service is prompt and friendly. Five stars, given the competition around the neighborhood, which are predominantly chain affairs.

Once we walked in we were welcomed by a calming presence and a very clean atmosphere. The staff is extremely friendly, Jenny was our waitress and she went above and beyond. The water was very refreshing. Our food came out within 5 minutes piping hot! The combo noodles and chicken noodles were so flavorful and we had enough leftovers for another meal. The potstickers were loaded with flavor and the sauces just elevated it even more. The spring rolls were crispy and fresh! Definitely a 10 star experience! I don't have a single bad thing to say about this business, please consider this rather than the numerous fast food options located all around. You won't be disappointed!

Everything we ordered was amazing! The service was quick and friendly. The restaurant was clean and nice.

Loved the shops vibe! Service was impeccable and personable. The food is AHMAAAZING everything we had was 100%

Looking for a place to have lunch but didn't want to go out of our way on our way to New Orleans from Houston. Close to I10 east , we took a chance not expecting much. We were pleasantly surprised. My husband got a dumpling soup and I got Kung pao shrimp. We both loved our dishes which were generously proportioned. The dumplings in his soup were delicious and the shrimp in my dish were big and succulent. The service good and atmosphere upscale. A good experience!

The ambiance was super relaxing, good lighting. Servers were super kind. Great service. Plus the food was delicious and plated very nice. 1000000% recommend eating here.

The food is the freshest, well executed and with purpose. If you enjoy fresh food and huge portions, this does not disappoint! I have done at least two other reviews for this location. I have not ever been disappointed. Try this place out! Cjwii

Soup dumplings - I could eat them morning noon and night. Every time I'm visiting my family I stop by for some. Their wontons are incredible too. Handmade dumplings, noodles and more! Easy off/on location at 146/I-10.

I was really surprised to find this authentic Chinese dumpling and bao restaurant in the middle of Baytown. Their quality rivals the restaurants in Chinatown in Houston and the service and atmosphere was loads better. We ordered the chicken and eggplant, fried pork dumplings and soup dumplings. The soup dumplings were a bit small and not as good as others I've had. But the pork dumplings made up for it. So juicy and filled with meat. The eggplant and chicken came out sizzling hot and was so flavorful. To top it off we had the cream piggie baos which were adorable and tasty. Highly recommend Dumpling Time if you want an authentic Chinese bao experience in a lovely setting and great service!

We went in for a quick dinner. The food and service were great. We particularly enjoyed the beef Dan Dan noodles and Kung Pao chicken.

Yes, dumplings are featured in the title, and it would make sense to order some on my first visit here. However, the menu had many interesting items. I ordered the shrimp eggplant with garlic sauce. So delicious! Just the right amount of spice. I have eaten this at multiple restaurants. Definitely top 3. Also, got steam vegetable buns. Excellent! I will be returning to try the dumplings. The decor is very nice and it wasn't noisy.

The food is very good! My favorite is the DanDan Noodles--so yummy! The green onion pancakes are also fantastic. The iced tea could be stronger. The service is good, and it is always nice and clean. It's a nice place to sit and have a great dinner!

Yesterday, my husband and I went to here for dinner, and we were truly impressed. The flavors here are absolutely delicious -- and full of that true Chinese taste. If you're looking for real, traditional Chinese food, this is definitely the right place to be. You won't be disappointed! We 'll be back soon.

The Mango Green Tea, which is a newer product was very refreshing and calming. If one is on the edge I can wholeheartedly recommend it as a option.

This is my first time eating at this establishment, I must say it was delicious. The hot and sour soup had tons of flavor, and the double cooked pork is amazing. It has the perfect amount of spice and flavor, all of the food came out hot and within a reasonable amount of time. Very clean place and service was great.

Stopped here on a road trip. We tried several items & it was very good. Waitress was very helpful in recommending dishes.

Things were going great until I pulled a metal strip out of my food. Likely came from the grill grate cleaner

I have been to Asia and I have to day this is as close to there as you can come. It is a unique restaurant that we stumbled upon heading home from a trip. There was a lady in a glass enclosed room viewable to the patrons who was hand making all of the different dumplings and other things as well. The noodles are all hand made too. The food was accompanied with each a different sauce that went well with the item it came with. We ordered so much of everything to try and have no complaints at all. It was all delicious. My boys tried everything and loved it all. I plan on stopping back in October when we will be traveling thru.

Today I came here with my parents for a meal, and they were genuinely surprised to find such a delicious Chinese restaurant in this area. We absolutely loved it! The flavors were so authentic -- we're completely obsessed. Of course, we'll definitely be coming back again!

The food is incredibly delicious!! My favorite appetizer is the cream puffs and favorite meal is the cumin lamb. The soup dumplings are freshly made and savory. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in Baytown. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is due to receiving a bit of attitude from the server with glasses and curly hair.

I ordered take-out over the phone. The staff were very helpful with answering any questions. My friend is vegan, so I asked if they offered any vegan options and they do! She got the steamed veggie dumplings and they were yummy! I got the I got the pork wonton dumplings with chili oil and the spicy edamame. The restaurant has a welcoming environment that is family friendly or cute for a date night. Everyone was attentive and kind.

Food: Delicious Service: Delightful Everything about the place speaks 10/10 rating

Mongolian Beef to salivate for and it pairs perfectly with Hot & Sour soup which I'm not normally a fan of but it was yummy.I'd skip the spring rolls though, unless you enjoy finger sized pastry with hard any veggies. The Chicken Pot Stickers were good but a bit bready but the sauce pairs perfectly with the delicious Shitake & Chicken Dumplings!

Very beautiful place, the food was delicious, My girl and I will definitely come back

It's my first time here. I ordered the juicy pork buns and the soup bao dumplings. Oh my goodness. Everything was delicious. I can't wait to come back and try two more new things.

The service was excellent and the food was good. I will go back. We tried the dumplings and they were delicious, I give this a 8 sta

Each dish so fresh and delicious, server kind & helpful. Atmosphere relaxing. Appetizer not shown - Spicey fresh cucumber.

We had orange chicken, chicken lo mein and pork buns. The food was sooooo good and came out pretty quick. Our waitress was super helpful and friendly throughout our meal. We will definitely be back soon

As a Chinese-Vietnamese American who's eaten thousands of dumplings and wontons in their lifetime, this place 100% AUTHENTIC. I'm honestly surprised that such a delicious Chinese restaurant is nestled in Baytown and not in Bellaire Blvd (aka Chinatown). What a huge win for the city of Baytown. I brought my American/Texan father in law here who's never ventured into Asian food (period) and even HE really enjoyed the wontons and dumplings. Also helps that our server was super attentive and kind. Highly highly recommended! Don't walk. RUN. Recommend: Soup dumplings, spicy pork wontons in chili oil, salt n pepper shrimp.

Excellent experience! I've been to Trendy Dumpling in Houston and this was way better. The owner was so warm and welcoming. Me and my husband have 3 kids and she lifted one of my boys up so he could see the dumplings being made from scratch. The waitress walked us through the menu and it was obvious she had tried everything she recommended. We had the Beijing pork with bun, the steam pork bao, lo mein, juicy pork buns. As if that wasn't delicious enough, the owner surprised my boys with these precious dessert dumplings that looked like little piglets. We will definitely be back! It's currently BYOB so being your favorite bottle of wine and enjoy!!

Stop what you doing and try this place out. They have SOUP DUMPLINGS!!! Like legit soup dumplings that are made in house. All of their dumpling are hand made. You can watch them prepare all the dumplings in the preparation station viewing area. The menu items have changed since opening. Service is quick and has been friendly the few times we went. Overall if you want good dumplings without traveling info into downtown houston give them a shot. The spicy cucumbers is a great appetizer if you are into that. The beef soup is good as well they even allow you to add spice to you fudge if you want to kick it up a notch.

I was pleasantly surprised with the food quality and the taste! Clean place and good service.

Very Welcoming Staff and our waitress Gianna was super sweet and attentive. Highly recommend spicy cucumber, soup boa, and Mongolian beef. The restaurant was well decorated and has a view of the chefs make the dumplings and food. The small downside is that the Green Onion Pancake was a bit oily for me. Overall I highly recommend this restaurant for people who would like to try new food. Definitely would come back again with friends and family!

Delicious & surprising find! Fresh and delicious food - not greasy & dietary restrictions graciously accommodated. Really lovely & quick service. Generous portions. We'll be back!

The people at Dumpling Time may have fooled all these uncultured people that have never had a dumpling in their life, but they haven't fooled me. Average-tasting food at best. Their most popular item - pan fried pork buns - did not have a lot of filling. They were overly greasy and small. High prices. Long wait for a server to come to our table. I had to get a server's attention just to be served. Minimal service provided throughout entire time. No utensils or napkins provided. No hand soap or toilet paper in the restrooms. Toilets were clogged. Restroom door doesn't have a door stopper, so it slams throughout the whole restaurant. They need to shut down the restaurant, get trained in customer service and restroom maintenance, and then reopen. Any enlightened person that has been to Houston's Chinatown will know the difference. Uncultured simpletons will love it.

I've ordered takeout from here a few times and it's always delicious. The food is fresh and usually made to order.

Great environment. I've been looking for a spot like this. Food was a bit salty. Loved the cucumber salad. Service was great also.

The pork bun incredible....and the bao. Hostess was sweet as well as Waitress. Not my style fried rice but everything else wonderful.

We will be back! The waitress was so nice and attentive. The food was really good. We ordered the spicy cucumber appetizer, pork dumplings, and Dandan noodles and they were all delicious. It is in a little strip mall but the inside was clean and nice.

Server w/ glasses and curly hair was rude. We walked in and he said " can I help yall" after we asked to sit down before we even got to the booth he asked "what do yall want to drink" for clarification it was around 9 on a Sat. And we were the only ones in the restaurant. When another customer walked in he loudly said "noooo" sighed and went to greet him.

food was so amazing especially for going in close to closing time service was amazing ambiance felt so cozy and calm loved it 10/10

Awesome food and the dumplings are amazing you gotta go fresh ingredients you will love it!!

Great food. Juicy pork buns are a must try Service is always good and friendly. Everything is very clean including the restrooms.

For Baytown area this place is legit! People that know and understand authentic Asian food soup dumplings know and to have it local is a huuuuuuge win. This food is definitely Houston Chinatown quality and I'm surprised this place isn't busier. When Asian people are coming to eat at an Asian restaurant you know it's legit! You can tell the yelpers know what they are talking about by the positive reviews this place is getting.

It's overpriced. Decent quality, small portion, and good atmosphere. Staff is hit or miss. They can disappear in you. It is a quiet little spot for date night, but go for the quiet time to hangout, not because you're trying to impress with quality restaurant

Food was great coming from New York China Town hard to beat in the suburbs of Texas but this place was awesome. The service was perfect. The ambience is a little too cafeteria like but ok

Food is always great service is ok , my one major complaint is that I picked up my food once ,when I got back to my car realized they gave me wrong dish so I head back in and they refused to re make my correct order because the kitchen staff was going on break in 10 minutes even though it was their mistake which I found ridiculous so had to get a refund

We were really excited to see this place coming to town. We love good Chinese dumplings but would not risk our lives driving into Houston for them. Sadly, this place was not what we expected. We tried two different kinds of dumplings. They were OK, but the flavor was underwhelming, and they were small in size considering the price. My wife got the salt and pepper shrimp. I think she got maybe eight shrimp on the plate along with a huge mound of uncooked onions...not caramelized or even sautéed, but cold, raw onions with some oil on them as if the chef forgot to add them until the last minute. The onions were so acidic that they gave her a belly ache. I got the peppercorn chicken. It was obvious when the dish arrived that these people have no idea what peppercorns are. Instead of peppercorns, they put in diced fresh cayenne peppers. Now I like spicey food, but cayenne peppers are meant for seasoning a main course, not BEING the main course. The volume of cayenne peppers exceeded that of the chicken. I did manage to eat it, but I felt really bad for two days after. We will not be back.

Took my husband for Father's Day. Food was fresh and amazingly flavorful!!! Very good service as well. Take your family!!!
