Golden Dumpling House

Such a Unique and Delicious Experience! I wasn’t sure what to expect at first, but once we ordered, I was completely blown away. I don’t think I’ll ever crave American-style dumplings again—these were on a whole different level! The flavors were unlike anything I’ve ever had, and the prices were surprisingly affordable. This is a must-try spot for anyone looking to try something new and exciting. The surrounding shopping center was also a pleasant surprise—full of quirky and fun places like a tea shop and a game room. It’s the perfect spot for a lunch date or a casual evening out. Actually, now that I think about it, there were a lot of couples there too!

New place for me and my dumpling appetite. Menu short and focused, dumplings the starts of the menu. Alternative item is noodles and simple cold plates. Faves for today : Pork shrimp veggie dumplings (10) Dumplings were bigger than normal for me lol and were tasty Scallions pancake also bigger than usual , soy sauce needed. Note: Self searing style Condiments like soy sauce and hot sauces of to the side of the cashier Same with utensil and napkins They offer free hot tea🙌

I went there to order frozen dumplings (pork and shrimp, pork and leek) for takeout. Also, I dined in and ate wonton soup with noodles (was okay) and scallion pancakes (very oily). You order from the front and help yourself to the water, utensils, napkins, and sauces. Make sure to get some of their homemade chili oil. The takeout boxes are also there for you to take if you need it.

This is an OG dumpling place in Houston but I honestly think they’ve fallen off a bit in quality in recent years. Their dumplings are still good flavored and the pan-fried ones are nice and crispy, but I think recently they’ve become a bit too oily for my taste. Still, ~$6-7 for 10 huge dumplings is such a great deal and very hard to beat in Chinatown. Ever since COVID they no longer offer seating inside so it’s a take-out only restaurant, which unfortunately can lead to some very long wait times as they usually make all dumplings from scratch. Sometimes they won’t start making them until you’ve ordered them so be prepared for a potential 20-25 minute wait time. Also, the scallion pancake I tried was way too oily, it was practically dripping with oil.

Amazing place, amazing food. It’s beautiful how you can see them in the back making your dumplings with love. They’re fresh and the taste is phenomenal. I hope this place stays open until the end of time. 🙏🏻💛

The beef noodle soup was the best thing we tried. We also got some steamed and pan fried pork shrimp and veggie dumplings, dried noodles which we didn't really care for and scallion pancakes that were crispy and delicious.The prices were great for the portion sizes.

Currently only take out is available. The price is super affordable paid $23 for all this. The dun dun noodles were very bland. The dumplings were okay , they have a lot of dough compared to the filling. The pan fried dumplings tasted better than the steamed. You get a lot of dumplings for the price but in my opinion I would pay a little more for better dumplings. If you are looking for super cheap dumplings this is the place.

This spot offers authentic northern Chinese dumplings. The scallion pancake (葱油饼）and steamed beef dumplings （牛肉蒸饺）were a bit oily, but quite flavorful, the wonton soup was just average. $20 is unbeatable for 3 items with big portions.

One of my favorite dumpling houses in Houston! The service is always quick, and the food consistently delivers on quality and flavor. The price point is fantastic for the portion sizes and the delicious, comforting, and authentic dishes they offer. If you're a fan of dumplings, this place is a must-try!

We ordered: - Soup Dumplings - Pan Fried Pork Dumplings (Pork with Shrimp) - Steamed Dumplings (Beef with Vegetables) Dumplings here are sooooo good!! They're SO good for the price and they have a self-serve sauce station. My absolute favourite dumplings were the pan fried one--so crispy and juicy! The steamed and soup dumplings were also so good and juicy as well! Absolutely amazing HAND MADE dumplings for an incredible price; you can literally see the chefs working (thank you for the amazing dumplings!) Service: You girls tho and order at the counter and then sit to wait for your order to come out. Although it took a bit long to get our food (~30-40 minutes just since we ordered a lot), we understood why it was taking so long because they handmade all their dumplings and we would rather wait a tiny bit more for fresh ones than packaged ones! Ambiance: Definitely could be better but the tables were big and could probably fit around 50 people. It was nice enough to chill and enjoy some fantastic dumplings while having conversations with the people you came with. TDLR: LOVED the dumplings and although it took a bit long to get our order, we didn't mind since they were all handmade dumplings. Taking out one star for the wait period but that's only because we weren't aware that they handmade them. Would definitely come back and eat more delicious dumplings! :)

This is a staple place on my list to eat in Chinatown. This restaurant has been in this busy plaza for many years. Don't expect anything fancy. Very simple layout. You order at the counter, water and hot tea available for free, and grab your own plates, bowls, and utensils. You can always see them making their dumplings by hand through the kitchen door. We always get one order of pan fried (my favorite) and an order of boiled dumplings (my finances favorite). Dumplings come hot. The skin to filling ratio is perfect and the filling is flavorful. The price for the amount of dumplings you get is very reasonable. I also order a bag of frozen dumplings to make at home. Highly recommend coming to this place.

Finally open for dine in after a few years of offering takeout post pandemic, and now the interior is refreshed with more modern dining tables and chairs! Still love their vegetable dumplings (giant pillows chock full of spinach, some egg and clear noodles)! Their dumpling skin is on the thicker side, but I prefer it that way :D Prices are a little higher than a few years ago but still reasonable. They now take credit card but you have to pay a small charge for it (think it's 3%), so cash is king if you have it :)

The fried pork and veggie dumplings were AMAZING. I love dumplings in general, but this was on a different level. The crispiness and chewiness of the dumplings had the best texture. The filling was hot and fresh. The red chili sauce that came with it was perfect. I picked up my order and I couldn't wait to eat it. I ate half of it in my car bc I couldn't wait and I was hungry. I didn't want it to get cold and I wanted to eat it while it was fresh.

10/10 would recommend and will be going back!! It was my first time here last weekend and I think they have amazing quality, price, and quantity so you really get your bang for your buck! Couldn't ask for more and the scallion pancake was so flaky and crispy! We got steamed and pan fried dumplings and both were delicious!

I finally got the chance to try Golden Dumpling House after eyeing it for a long time, and I am so glad I did! To me, this place really represents what Chinatown is all about--authentic, delicious food, casual vibes, and great prices. We ordered steamed pork dumplings, pan-fried beef dumplings, and Dan Dan Noodles, all for about $25 (pre-tip). Given the price, the portions were enormous! The two of us had to take half the dumplings home. We could've easily fared with one order of dumplings and the noodles. Every dish was so hearty and flavorful. The Dan Dan Noodles were very different from others ones I've tried; it was not spicy, and it tasted strongly of peanuts and ginger. But it was still amazing! I highly recommend coming to this place if you're ever in Chinatown--you will not be disappointed.

Delicious and cheap dumplings with a good option for vegetarians! I hesitate going to dumpling spots as a vegetarian because there usually aren't any options for me (or they're not tasty). They only have 1 vegetarian dumpling option but it is a delicious spinach and egg filling. Pan fried is definitely the way to go, with a crispy exterior balanced with soft chewiness.

Great quality and price every time. Never fails to deliver incredible flavor and consistent taste

Ordered Beef noodle soup, soup is pretty good, some of the beef is mushy. They would charge 3% fee is any card used.

Hands down, this is the best bang for your buck if you want dumplings. Bonus points (and arguably the most important part) they are delicious. Been coming here since like 2015, and despite perpetually trying dumplings anywhere and everywhere else, if I need a fix, Golden Dumpling House remains the supreme champ. They're finally back to having the dining room open. They did update the tables and chairs from pre covid era, so while it's definitely low key strip center ambiance, the seating is new. It's counter service, so nothing to write home about, but I do love that at the counter you can see everything being hand made. Also, they do have freezer batches so you can take and make at home, still tasty that way too.

Fresh, made to order dumplings. We ordered the soup dumplings and pan fried pork and vegetables dumplings. What I liked: dumplings are plump, full of flavor, inexpensive for the price, and fresh. What could we better: dumpling skin is THICK. We ended up tearing off half of the skin every time we ate a dumpling. Definitely not delicate. All but two of the soup dumplings had a hole so no soup for us.

Loveeee! My new favorite dumpling spot! 20 dumplings for $18 sounds perfect for me. We got the pan fried shrimp and soup dumplings and they were so good. I definitely preferred the pan fried it was so full of flavor and crisp. Everything came out fast and they have a good variety of sauces to choose from. Large seating area and nice staff. I thoroughly enjoyed everything, pricing to portion sizing is unbeatable.

Finally open for dine in again since covid! So nice to be able to sit inside and enjoy the food fresh. Beef noodle soup is a hearty serving and very satisfying for a place that more so specializes in dumplings. The noodles aren't the greatest in the world, but the meat is very tender and soup is flavorful. Good amount of veggies too. The real star are the dumplings, which are clearly made fresh. They do take longer to come out of the kitchen. My favorite are the shrimp and pork potstickers. Flavor is on point, super savory, and the bottoms are nice and crispy. So filling and affordable!

Was happy to find this dumpling spot. It is pick-up only, it is only call ahead and then pay in cash or zelle. I ordered the pan fried dumplings -- the servings and huge and juicy and comes with sauce. The boiled dumplings sampler was also very generous. I loved how chewy the dumpling skin is and definitely has the homemade taste. It took about 25 minutes for our order to be ready. I would skip the scallion pancakes as they were too oily.

Came here on a Saturday for lunch and got there around noon and surprisingly found a table. It quickly filled up after though. Food also takes a bit of time but it comes out fresh. Chili oil, soy sauce and vinegar with utensils is all self serve. As far as the food goes, I think we got just a so so batch of everything for the most part. The green onion pancakes are super flaky and crispy, to a deep fried level. It's a bit greasy but great. The pork and shrimp dumplings are packed but think they burnt the bottoms of ours a bit, which detracted from it a bit. The soup dumplings have an ok skin - a bit thicker than I'm used to and a bit too porky tasting for my liking and not enough soup either. Definitely need some ginger and vinegar. Black bean noodles also were ok. Noodles were great and very meaty with plenty of umami punch but feels line it was a bit salty and not much more than that. Overall, I would stick to the dumplings and try again. There were some pan fried baos and steamed dumplings that looked good from other groups.

Delicious dumplings and hearty portion sizes. I am finishing my meal and am already excited to come back. The wonton soup is the perfect rainy day meal. And the pan fried dumplings...wow!

The chef definitely changed compared to before when it was good. The tomato egg noodle soup was disappointing.The photo online looks nothing like what came out. The dumplings took a really long time to cook like 30 min. They make it from scratch right after you order it so that might explain it. The dumplings don't look authentically made. It's a bit chubby. Skin is too thick. The dumplings don't stand up like how it should be if professionally made. But, it tastes okay though.

It's always such a pleasure to eat here! This restaurant used to be takeout only, but they finally brought back dining in, which is great! Some of the BEST dumplings I ever had in Houston; they're large with an ample amount of filling, not to mention the prices are awesome, too. I enjoyed finally being able to sit down and eat as well since the vibes are very cozy. Really nice staff as well. Love this place!

I love going to places that specialize in a few dishes! We ordered 3 sets of dumplings, chicken, pork and steamed chicken. Also ordered a wonton soup! First of all the wonton soup broth was so good! The bokchoy was cooked perfectly I the soup and the dumplings tasted Devine!!! All of the dumplings were cooked perfectly and tasted way better than expected! After we ordered the food came fast and the restaurant was clean and orderly. I will be back for sure to stock up on dumplings! They were even better the next day after I reheated them.

So good! My husband and I ordered the boiled shrimp/pork + vegetable dumplings and a scallion pancake. We took a seat for about fifteen minutes as they prepared our to-go order. It was around 1:30 on a weekday, and maybe five other tables were occupied. Everything the other diners were eating looked delicious. There's free hot barley tea at the counter and a cooler of soft drinks for sale. The cashier brought out our order, which was packaged tidily, and the food was piping hot! The scallion pancake was freshly fried and super flaky and crispy. The dumplings were steaming and too hot to eat immediately. The filling was generous and so juicy and flavorful. I didn't even need the dipping sauce, as they were great with or without it. It was more than enough food for two of us, and $8.25 for 15 dumplings is a steal. I'd gladly go back any time I'm in the area.

Open for "dine in" again after 5 YEARS of a closed dining room and take-out only due to COVID.

This is an OG dumpling place in Houston but I honestly think they've fallen off a bit in quality in recent years. Their dumplings are still good flavored and the pan-fried ones are nice and crispy, but I think recently they've become a bit too oily for my taste. Still, ~$6-7 for 10 huge dumplings is such a great deal and very hard to beat in Chinatown.

Sometimes they won't start making them until you've ordered them so be prepared for a potential 20-25 minute wait time. Also, the scallion pancake I tried was way too oily, it was practically dripping with oil.

Small family-run business and it is amazing! I have not tried any of their prepared dishes but they are supposed to be great. I order the raw and frozen boiling dumpings which come in a bag of 40. The price varies from $12-$14 depending upon the filling. I've had the pork and vegetable, pork shrimp, and pork with leek. All are fantastic and taste great! You can tell these are handmade because the dumpling dough is a little thick. Make sure to bring cash or you can pay through Zelle for your order. No credit or debit payments taken!

A small cozy restaurant where you can see people making dumplings in the back! The woman at the counter was very nice and informative. We ordered the fried pork and vegetable dumplings, steamed chicken and vegetable dumplings, and the dan dan noodles. The fried dumplings had a beautiful fry and well flavored filling. The steamed dumplings were nice and chewy with a well flavored filling too! The dan dan noodles were chewy and bouncy with a great peanut sauce! The dumplings were delicious without dipping sauce but we enjoyed the two dipping sauces they came with. The chili oil was just peppery enough! We got a lot of food for about 23.50 which is crazy! I would definitely recommend and return to this place.

Value for money indeed! Very authentic dumplings, quality, flavor and quantity. My only suggestion is to pre-order as the dumplings take approximately 20-25 minutes before serving, but it's worth the wait.

The store is only doing carry out, no dine in. I had the pork and vegetable on fried dumplings, and the pork, shrimp, and vegetable steamed dumplings. The dumplings' skin was to the thicker side. Thus filled up the stomach fast. However, the meat was seasoned well and fresh. Would come here again.

GO HERE! The dumplings are great here! Especially for the price?! Cannot be beaten. We like to get a lot frozen ones to store and eat at home that they make here as well. The staff here are also very kind. Now that you can sit inside as well it has gotten even better! Their soup dumplings are some of the best!

The prices are the best! You could get full under $10 for sure! You'll order at the front, get a #, pick a table and they'll bring it when it's ready! They have a "take what you need station" with bowls, chopsticks, soy sauce etc. which I didn't mind. The lady who took our order was nice, no complaints! We ordered 2 kinds of dumplings and Zhajiang noodle. Feel free to look at another picture for the ACTUAL size of the noddle bowl (we split up in portions). I've never had these noddles but when I tell you I would SO get them again. Chorizo is probably the best as I can describe it, but seasoned very differently with spices, 10/10! The chicken pan fried dumplings were my fav between the two, you can never go wrong with chicken, 10/10! As for the soup dumplings, I thought the soup came inside and so there was a strong pork taste 6/10 (assuming that was the meat). I recommend ordering a soup if you'll order the soup dumplings! The restaurant is homey in my opinion. It really reminds me of this fried rice place I used to go a child. Hopefully I head over again soon! 8/10

Second time coming here ! They were too good to not write a review I got the pan seared dumplings last time pork and veg which were to die for . This time I got steamed and they were just too good ! The chili oil is a must add on and I love how they have inside seating now ! The staff are so friendly and super fast paced 10/10! Dumpling place !!!

Some of the biggest portions of great quality food in Houston. I usually call my order in and then pick it up. Since COVID the restaurant does to go only. Don't sleep on the scallion pancake. It is great.

Big Big fan of dumplings ! ! All bc of this little shop, when I moved to Houston 3 years ago I tried dumplings for the first time. Since than I moved to dallas and have tried a bunch of different types of dumplings but these always come out on top !! Every time I come to town I have to stop by. Great quality for the amount you get / price !! 10/10.

When I crave dumplings I go here. Such great portions & pricing. Service is quick. Ordered and drove there in 20 minutes and it was ready. It's still to go only. No dining. They take cash or Zelle payment only as well. We ordered the scallion pancakes (4/5), boiled dumplings (pork & Vegs, shrimp pork & vegs) and one order of pan fried pork and veg dumplings. I love the casing on the dumplings, thick and fulfilling. You can't really taste the shrimp in the dumplings but you do know it's different than the pork vegs. Our order was $24 bucks total which was not bad at all considering the amount of food we got! Love this gem place in Bellaire. Definitely give it a try!

Yo! There is no dine in, okay? Takeout is in, not because it is trendy but it makes more sense in this economic climate. Especially, after these restaurants been through the CoVid pandemic. Praise on their resilience for serving those delicious dumplings. According to my history book of this new Chinatown, Golden Dumpling House 黄金水饺 is one of many restaurants since Sterling Plaza 黄金廣场 was built in 2005. I believe the name Golden came from the mall's name and supermarket Golden Food Supermarket prior to Hmart. Dumplings have been a symbol of wealth and fortune because it resembles the gold ingot. Location is great, there's always plenty of parking. The restaurant's dining room is big without chairs and tables. Right now, you have to order at the cash register. One day, they will allow siting again. I often see customers walk in to pick up, they might be from those phone-in orders or possibly online orders. I only do in-person shopping. On my first order, I tried frozen dumplings, that's Napa cabbage with pork, only $12 for 40 pieces. I have been blessed this week with dumplings for lunch daily. I cooked 10 dumplings and got over a pound of food. Starch, protein and vegetables food groups are all accounted for in a single meal. These dumplings have thicker wraps because the amount of filling has sustenance (no air pockets). It took about 9 minutes to cook from frozen to ready. When I look at this calculation, where can you find $3 meal these days? Most meals are around $10-13, if you go to a restaurant. Don't give me wrong, I also want to try other dishes at Golden Dumpling House. That Tan Tan Mian 担担面 only costs $6.50. I'll be back when weather gets warmer.

Reasonable pricing and the dumplings are *chefs kiss* They're stuffed and flavorful. I typically order the soup dumplings and steamed pork dumplings. I absolutely love them and somehow always find myself back to them. It is a bit of an inconvenience since we're not able to dine in but luckily we live pretty close. Service is always good too. 100/10 would recommend

I think I love this place. They make all sorts of dumplings. We got the panfried pork (8 pieces) and the xiao long bao (10 pieces), 1 scallion pancake, and 2 waters. This costed a little over $21. We'd be excited to try more for sure. However, you cannot beat this price! Wen we got there there was already a line. After a while the couple infront of us ordered, then we managed to order and she said it was going to be about 20-25 minutes. We waited in store. It was pretty peaceful and a nice ambiance. There was a lot of people coming by to do pickup - Im not sure about dining just yet as the tables were stacked and off to the side - so good on those people for timing it right. Then wen it came to our order she brought it out to us. We parked at a park and ate. The xiao long bao was tart but juicy and the skin was bouncy and fun to eat. The panfried dumpling bottom was panned but scorched scorched so it was a nice texture, with a good amount of meat. Both of these dumplings were bigger than I'm used to but I think it just highlights that these are hand made new everyday. They gave us two sauces. One was a vinegar-y one that paired beautifully w/ the xiao long baos but you could do it for any honestly. The chili/spicy one was amazing for the panfried as well. I loved the fact that there was enough sauce for you to drench your dumpling in or if you went the other way of not needing sauce, it was generous but not overtly. Definitely a fav, definitely going back to, going to be trying out more different types of dumpling.

Excellent super cheap dumplings! We had boiled pork and leek dumplings, pan fried shrimp and pork dumplings, scallion pancake, and beef noodle soup. Everything was flavorful and satisfying. Highly recommended!

Unfortunately I felt a bit bamboozled. When reading the menu and seeing "Vegetable dumplings", I thought it was a bit self explanatory that there would be nothing but vegetables in my dumpling. Unfortunately that was not the case, and there was quite a bit of egg in them. Which is something I restrict in my diet. By the time I had noticed I was already home. So unfortunately, I did have to throw them away. I wish I had clarified, but genuinely didn't think to as this hasn't happened before. But you live and learn! The scallion pancake was delicious though! This location is currently take out only, and will take zelle or cash. The amount of food you receive for your money is great. The dumplings are massive! You can also place orders ahead of time to pick up. Maybe pop into Hmart next door while your order is being prepared!

I showed up here because of a recommendation from a friend who grew up in the area. He swore by this place so maybe I had it hyped up in my head when I finally went and was slightly disappointed. The price point is awesome. You can great a crazy amount of dumplings for a very reasonable price. The lady taking e orders was very nice and informative given my Chinese was lacking. The dumplings themselves are good. I thought I could make better with stuff I get at local markets. Sauces were good and they were generous with them. No inside seating. Everything is to go. I know better dumpling places in the area but this place is good for cheap eats.

The best dumplings in all the land! Service is quick as can be considering this place is always packed. We have tried everything, all top notch. Tried and true place for my family.

A great place for plump juicy fresh dumplings. Recommend pan fried dumplings and steamed dumplings. You'll enjoy the dumplings if you like a thicker skin and flavorful filling. Do not recommend the Dan Dan Noodles. I know each restaurant has their own style but this style was not my preference. The sauce tasted more like a thin soy sauce rather than a more hearty thicker sauce. The noodles themselves were great. They only take cash or Zelle, no credit cards.

Dumplings are fresh and delicious. Great value for the low price. Got 14 dumplings for 15 bucks and they were so good. I'll be going there more often. Great if you need to bring some snacks for a party.

I didn't think the dumplings were way above other restaurants. Good dumplings though. Very good price. Would I come back or make a trip exclusively for dumplings? No.

A small family owned restaurant with traditional Taiwanese food. Their food potion is pretty big with a satisfying price to go with it. Ever since the pandemic they stop indoor dining and only allow takeout.

If you're getting your dumplings anywhere else you are crazy! Look at the size, the filling!! Anyway this is the place to be. Feeling under the weather and ordered a wonton noodle soup, steamed beef and veg dumplings, and an order of 40 frozen boiled dumplings for 12$... Total less than 30$ for so much food. Also opened my sinuses right back up. Just satisfied to the max every time. To go only, cash or zelle!

This place is bussin bussin! Best Dumpling in town especially when the wallet looking thin af. Down side is they only take cash, but it's Asia town. If you ain't carrying cash you ain't getting nothing good. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, wifey approved

My overall rating for this spot was 3.5 stars. I rounded up to 4 stars because you get so much food for such an inexpensive price. So, please don't over order like we did, unless you're hangry and expect to have leftovers for days. Here's a breakdown of what we ordered: Boiled pork, leek, and veggie dumplings: the flavor of the dumplings was pretty good. The leek and the pork flavors are there. Are they the best dumplings I've had? No. But, they would satisfy my dumpling cravings. Also, as other reviewers have mentioned, 18 dumplings for $5.75 is such a great value. You will not be hungry after you eat this box of dumplings. Steamed and pan fried veggie dumplings: also pretty good. They shoved so much spinach in their dumplings and it was juicy. I think there were also glass noodles inside to absorb some of the moisture from the spinach. The pan fried version offered a slight flavor enhancement to the steamed dumplings. For both the pork and veggie dumplings, my main issues were that the dumpling wrappers were too thick. I felt so full from eating so much dough. Some people may enjoy that, though. Also, their dipping sauce tasted just of soy sauce. I missed my Chinese vinegar at home so much. I wished I brought some with me to eat this. They had this chili sauce with the soy sauce that offered little to the flavor. I think it might've been chili powder cooked in oil. Scallion pancake: very crispy and nice flavor. Just kind of oily, and wished there were more scallions in the pancake. Zhajiang noodles: Lots of noodles and pork meat filling. It felt like 3 pounds of food. Safe to say, I ate one bite of this only and ate the rest as leftovers. It was pretty good. Wished the filling had more umami flavor. The noodles looked handmade and taste good. They were just slightly overcooked. Anyway, I still haven't finished these noodles yet. Overall, if I'm super hungry and need to fulfill my dumpling or noodle fix and just want my ultimate goal to be full, this place accomplished that for me. They are takeout and cash only. But, you won't need much dough to get a ton of food.

Insane price and amount of food in this economy. I ordered the Zha Jiang Mien and $7 got me a heaping amount of noodle and an even more heaping amount of meat. Go anywhere midtown and they would give half this amount for double the price. Taste was also amazing and so satisfying. The only downside is that it's to go only so you have to do the eating elsewhere. I also recommend calling ahead to order because there are always a few people waiting and it can take a while if you walk in to order.
