Affordable Chinese eatery with a huge variety of dumplings























"Offering takeout only, this Asiatown restaurant serves hefty portions of dan dan noodles, wonton soup, and pan-fried onion cakes, but its namesake dumplings are what draw diners in again and again. Find meat-filled or vegetarian-style dumplings that are steamed, boiled, pan-fried, or served in soup. Recreate the experience later at home with an order of Golden’s frozen dumplings, which taste just as fresh once reheated." - Lane Gillespie

"Mai Pham, Eater contributor: San Dong Noodle House and Golden Dumpling House for dumplings." - Amy McCarthy

"This popular dumpling house was observed with a mostly empty dining room by chef Chris Shepherd, who used the sighting to urge people to return and push back against misinformation; he noted they enjoyed delicious dumplings at a place that normally has a line out the door and emphasized that restaurants in the neighborhood need support right now." - Amy McCarthy
Cash-only and takeout-forward, this Asiatown favorite turns out boiled, steamed, and pan-fried dumplings by the tray. Cited by Houstonia for affordability and consistency, it’s a simple, deeply local stop for a dumpling haul.
