Huang Cheng Potsticker

TLDR: Delicious, Fast, Dumplings, Potstickers, and Curry Rice Bowl. Fast and on the go. Open Tuesday - Saturday 10:30 to 7:00. Monday 10:30 - 3:00. Sunday closed. They serve dumplings and potstickers, as well as a curry rice bowl. This place is fresh, delicious, and uses quality ingredients. You can taste it in the food. Huang Cheng is located in Swanson's Market (historical building, food hall) in Downtown Oakland. They have a full service restaurant in the same building. If you just want dumplings, potstickers, or a curry chicken rice bowl for a quick bite this is the place. You can get it to go, or stay and eat it there. The menue is simple. They make everything in-house including the chili oil. Huang Chengs Dumplings is new, opened about 3 months ago, but I just found them. I like them a lot. Easy access and quick. There are other restaurants in the same food hall if you have a large group with different tastes. Dumplings and potstickers come in orders of 18. They offer pork and cabbage, or shrimp and cabbage dumplings/potstickers. The difference between their potstickers and dumplings is cooking method. If you are in downtown Oakland during the week, or on a Saturday, Swanson's Market is a great food hall to visit. They have many great casual dining options in one location with ample seating. Huang Cheng Potsticker is a great addition to Swanson's Market Food Hall.

Came in here for the first time during my lunch break and loved every bite! The service was prompt from taking my order to get my food. Also, never had a robot bring my meal to me before. That was an interesting experience

Food was amazing and the dipping sauce was good ! The pan fried Potstickers were crispy and juicy which was perfect. There was no soy sauce / vinegar / chili oil at the tables, just chopsticks. However, food was amazing, and worth the price. Like others note, its just venmo/cash. This was good and I would definitely come back again.

I got food poisoning here. Do not order the curry chicken!! Stick with the dumplings or potstickers.

The dumplings/potstickers come 18 to an order and are DELICIOUS! We also got the cucumbers with hot oil. They were a lovely and refreshing dish too. I recommend this spot!

Oh my, this is a great choice for a lunch stop in downtown Oakland! The pot stickers and dumplings are delicious and the atmosphere in the housewive's market is totally chill. Bonus - they are right across from Cupcakin' Bake Shop so dessert is a given!

Very tasty! We got 18 dumplings and a lot of cucumbers, both were great and a good price for the two of us.

Had the steamed shrimp dumplings with spicy sauce! Really good.

How amazing is that they opened a pot sticker restaurant next door! Today, we parked a few blocks down and walked through Swan Market as we slowly passed the dumplings, we had to do a double-take, and all of a sudden, I was craving dumplings. But we came to Chinatown to get my favorite Huangcheng Chongqing street noodles, so we had to go there first. We found out that since the restaurants are related, they could order dumplings for us, and we could remain sitting in the restaurant. Thank goodness we had an amazing waitress who also remembered us. Awesome service!! I loved the hot dipping sauce! next time, will try the pork potstickers.

Delicious! The dumplings here are small, with roughly 20 per order, and packed with flavor. This food stall, located in Swan Market in Old Oakland, was a fantastic addition to a previously empty space. Seating is first-come, first-served. Parking can be a bit tricky since it's mostly street parking, but there's a lot a few blocks away, as well as a paid garage at the convention center. While they offer other menu items, their specialty lies in dumplings. I also purchased a mason jar of their chili oil--it's a smoky, spicy burst of flavor! The staff here is super friendly! Support local! Let's help these small businesses thrive.

Another food adventure at a relatively new restaurant. I love pan fried potstickers and dumplings so a friend and I saw this restaurant on one of our trips to Chinatown. We happened to park by the old Housewives Market and walked through the restaurants. We saw Huangcheng Potstickers. We decided to try an order of steamed dumplings and an order of fried dumplings. Both dumplings were good but they don't have very much seasoning. I'm not a sauce guy so I thought the dumplings were good but not my taste. My friend thought the sauce gave it flavor but wasn't to his taste either. It could be that Shanxi style cooking is an acquired taste. The fried dumplings were good but didn't have any crisp to them so we probably should have ordered the fried potstickers. We both will try the restaurant again but will try the potstickers on our next trip. We both thought the dumplings were 3 stars and another star for customer staff. The staff were very polite and quick to take your order. I rated them a generous 4 stars and will update my review after my next trip. New restaurants are always worth a try. If you like Shanxi cooking, definitely give this place a try.

HuangCheng potstickers, located inside the Swans Market, offers Oaklanders another tasty option to their line up of fast-casual restaurants and eateries. Similar to their first restaurant - HuangCheng Noodle House, you can expect fresh hand-made offerings (dumplings, potstickers, and pickled cucumbers) that is made to order. Their dumplings and potstickers are bite-sized and you get 18 pieces for each order (about ~$1 per dumpling). I was curious about trying their Chicken Curry, but decided to try out their dumplings and potstickers, as the other 4 reviews have focused on. The menu was very simple and our order was ready in that 5-7 minute that was quoted. Although tasty, my dumplings did not have much of a satisfying 'bite' as there wasn't any crunch or texture. The potstickers offered a crispiness, as it was lightly fried, but the filling wasn't as warm as the dumplings. I do wish that they had combination (shrimp, pork, and chives), as that would elevate the umami and add a bit of extra texture to the dumplings.

Newly open just few months ago. The menu is very limited. The potstick is badly made. The shape doesn't look like a potsticker. Each potsticker isn't pan fried enough. Look and taste uncooked. I ordered a shrimp potsticker. The tatse is terrible.

These potstickers are amazing, as are the dumplings. And the atmosphere in Swann's is the best of Oakland: fun, vibrant, multicultural and delicious!

Really delicious dumplings with great texture. The spicy sauce isn't too spicy; just flavorful. Had the hot chili oil cucumbers and the spicy sauce for the dumplings and would 100% order again. Service was very kind and attentive. Want this place to succeed :)

Delicious handmade potstickers! The portion size was generous, and the filling juicy and savory. Of course, we already know Huangcheng's famous chili sate, which pairs perfectly with the potstickers. We got both the boiled and pan fried versions, and enjoyed both. Also a surprising hit was the cucumber salad!

The noodle masters from Huangcheng Noodle House just opened this dumpling stand inside Swan Market. If you've eaten at their noodle house, you know that they do not disappoint. The dumplings and potstickers are absolutely delicious! Completely handmade, including the dough like their noodles, the dumplings are distinctive (perhaps Shanxi style?) and super flavorful. I love that their dumplings are not oversized, and the skin is just the right thickness. We tried both dumplings and potstickers, the shrimp ones and pork ones, and were super impressed. Another highlight is their homemade hot sauce, vinegary and not greasy, perfect for the dumplings. The cucumber salad is also good. Really love their dumplings and very happy to see this place in Swan Market. The people are super nice, the space is really great, and food is superb. Will definitely be back for more!

Insanely good potstickers, good vibes at the location - check them out if you're in Oakland!

Potstickers were excellent. Service was attentive and friendly. I asked for vinegar with my potstickers, which they gave me. When I ran out of vinegar, they gave me some more. I had the pork potstickers, pan-friend. Overall, a very good experience. I'm looking forward to going back.

Polite and attentive even though this is counter service. Delicious and fresh. Generous servings.

The food here is so good. We got the pork potstickers and chicken curry. They were both delicious and the portions were large. The staff are also very friendly and sweet. Highly recommend!

Really really good pot stickers. 18 per order seems like a steal for the price. Woman that works there is super nice too, if you get a chance to support a new business go check them out.

The food was very tasty and quick to come out. The portions are very nice so bring your appetite. And the homemade dipping sauce is fantastic.

Ordered shrimp and pork potstickers for our picky-eater kids. They were so delicious our kids yelled at us for stealing too many

The service is excellent and the are amazing! Definitely will come back! They also give you a decent portion of dumplings!

Walking in on my lunch break looking for something new in the area. I got the pork potstickers and they were amazing! It was paired with the place's homemade hot sauce which was equally amazing. Staff is super nice and friendly, and food came out fast. Will definitely come back again.

delicious potstickers and house made hot sauce. 18 dumplings in an order. perfect for lunch!

Hm. I really want this place to succeed. Dumplings, potstickers and curry chicken are like 3 of my food groups. You should try it out and write about it.

Great potstickers! Love the pork ones and their homemade chili sauce is so good! A must try!

Great food, fast service. Best dumpling place in East Bay. Definitely recommend to everyone who love Chinese food.
