Little Fat Dumpling

Just passing thru town and we found this spot. It did not disappoint it was really good if we are ever passing thru again we will definitely stop here again. The customer service was great they helped us with our menu choices everything tasted fresh.

The food here was really good! We got the taro dumplings and the pork dumplings. 10/10 loved and the taro wasn’t too sweet and a nice consistency. We got the chow main combo and the noodles were great and lots of protein and veggies. Great ratio and flavor. I’ve always wanted to try this place and if definitely return.

Rude service and overall not a good experience. The older waiter lady is not the kindest or most welcoming. The wait is extensive but that was ok thinking our food would be good… I look over and see an older man behind the counter handling the soups and open mouth coughing. That one instance made me and my partner not want to return to this place. We have found somewhere better that serves better portions (imperial)

Actually went there on Saturday night. My kiddos really enjoyed the food. It was busy, so we had to wait a little, but no worries.

Ordered the Sichuan spicy chicken and red bean buns. The food came out fast. The dish was just the right amount of spicy. I always like getting sweet bean buns, so I'm glad they offer some.

Not sure what the complaints are about, I truly liked everything I ordered! Good taste & flavor, service was ok & waiting time wasn't too bad. Will definitely be one of my go to spots. All in all: Good food, decent service & the ambiance was. (Should note, I got my order to go)

I’ve been to Little Fat Dumpling a couple of times and really enjoy the food. The wontons are the best I have ever had—they’re packed with so much filling, making them incredibly satisfying. Every dumpling I’ve tried has been delicious and fresh, with great flavor and texture. The quality of the food is consistently impressive, and I always look forward to coming back for more!

Great stir fried string beans. Very good egg cream buns. My favorite was the red bean for desert. Ironically, the beef dumplings were a little underwhelming. Not bad, but completely outclassed by everything else we tried. One of our favorite meals in the area.

The service was great, about a 5min wait for table and looked over the menu to order once seated. They checked in on us several times which was great. Food was delicious, my favorite was the shrimp onion dumplings, green beans and the pork soup dumplings! Overall everything was very delicious though! The setting was soothing, light music so you could enjoy a conversation still.

The soup dumplings ABSOLUTELY amazing! Those are definitely 10/10... The sticky rice and chicken 1/10 rice is mush over cooked, no flavor over all just gross. We also got sweet and sour fish surprisingly really good 8/10 The restaurant is super small space is very limited. The waitress was ok, we never got refills on our drinks and was out of drinks for a while. I would ONLY come back for the soup dumplings to go.!

Quick service from the staff. Amazing food, made to order. One of the best dumplings and shayou beef Ramen. 100/10. My husband and I loved it.

Pork soup dumplings: I think this is the only place in town that makes their own soup dumplings. The dim sum places I'm sure they buy those frozen. Soup dumplings here are waayy better tasting than other spots. Although I have to admit they're on the saltier side. Each dumpling has a ton of soup inside, the dough is thin and soft. If it weren't so salty I'd give it a 5 but since it was salty (4/5). Har Gow: I've had better. It's pretty standard. The dough was a little chewy. Filling wasn't as flavorful. (3.5/5) Taro steam buns: I'd skip this tbh. Lot of bread and very little filling. I was hoping the filling was a bit sweeter. Very underwhelming. I do think these are bought, not made in house. (1/5) Sticky rice wraps: I also think these are store bought and not made in house. These are standard. Nothing really stands out about these. If you like the taste of shiitake mushrooms you'd like these. (3/5) Overall it's okay. I do need to retry these soup dumplings again because even being salty these are probably the best soup dumplings in town. And probably the only ones that are homemade. Maybe I just came on an off day. Everything else was just meh. But I'll definitely be back to try everything else.

Food was good a bit salty. Couldn't help but notice how small the portions were for what we paid. $50 for three items and the chow mein being essentially half a traditional takeout container is a bit absurd. Also found a piece of metal in the sesame beef not sure if it is foil of some sort. If value is of priority there are better alternatives.

Greeted upon entering, we viewed the menu. Before arriving, we already planned to order to go so requested sesame balls. Upon waiting, we admired the ethnic decor, and look forward dining in to try the (fried) potsticker and an entree meal.

Delicious food. Clean restaurant. Fast service. We arrived and were seated promptly. We ordered a few things to try out and get a feel of the place. The green beans were delicious and the soup dumplings were perfectly done. I tried the steamed pork bao and it probably was my favorite dish. Will definitely be back to try more of their menu.

Parking can be a little tough when you get here but I found one around 6pm. It's a small restaurant but one table can probably fit 6 people. Service was fast and we were seated right away. We ordered the beef onion dumplings, house spicy chicken and vegetable chow mein. The food probably came out pretty fast too. I really enjoyed the beef onion dumplings. It had a lot of flavor and tasted homemade :) the house spicy chicken was alright. It wasn't spicy at all and the chow mein was okay. There seems to be a lot of to go orders and I would definitely order the dumplings again :)

First time trying this place. Food was good and fairly quick. I don't remember what i ordered. I will say this, the food was actually spicy which surprised me. Most restaurants claim to be spicy, but the dish I ordered was spicy/hot

Not sure what the complaints are about, I truly liked everything I ordered! Good taste & flavor, service was ok & waiting time wasn't too bad. Will definitely be one of my go to spots. All in all: Good food, decent service & the ambiance was. (Should note, I got my order to go)

I have been here multiple times and really enjoy the food. It feels very homey. Everything is just so good. We decided to do takeout today and the quality is still just as good as in person. We ordered so much and underestimated the amount. If you are looking for some yummy dumplings, and comfort Chinese food, little fat dumpling is your best choice!!

Lunch with my sister our First time here ! Host and service was great, Chicken chow mein was delicious along with the house Spicy chicken and soup dumplings a must.

We were apprehensive to eat here because of the reviews, but we saw it was all service related so we gave it a try. The service wasn't that bad although it wasn't that good but it was definitely the worst rice I have ever tasted on the planet. How can something be dry and chewy at the same time? If I didn't know better, I would say that they over microwaved it by a lot after it had already been cooked though why would be my question? Everything we had from the Mongolian beef to the beef potstickers had something sour tasting in it. I don't know if it was some spice. I'm unaware of, but every item had that sour flavor. It was almost like fennel, but fennel is not sour whatever they need to do. They need to lose that spice and they need to lose the rice the beef on the Mongolian beef was wonderful and tender, but the sour taste permeating the whole dish kind of ruined it for us. When I complained about the rice being so bad, she took it off our bill and was gracious about it. However, I don't think I'm going to give this one another chance sadly

Cute little place serving basic Chinese style dishes and some specialty dumplings either steamed or fried. Both are good. Friendly and attentive staff. I really wish they had more options of dumplings because the ones they have a so good. FYI if it's fried, it's a pot sticker; if it's steamed or boiled, it's a dumpling

Little Fat Dumpling is always there for me when I need it the most. I normally get takeout but today decided to dine in. You find your own seat and are tended to by kind staff immediately. It was also very clean! This cozy spot is great for a lunch date and the food is incredible. Today I went for the Pork Xiao Long Bao and beef and cabbage pot stickers! The sauce that comes with these items is the perfect touch. After eating from here a few times, I've learned you really can't go wrong with anything!

I wanted to try this place for a while now and finally we did. I ordered on the phone and when I arrived the food was ready. The food was freshly made and very delicious. I ordered the broccoli with garlic. My Husband ordered beef and broccoli and a side of steam rice, and we also had an order of chicken and corn dumplings. We also ordered some spring rolls. Those are very tasty and crunchy. I have tried this in different places but this are great. My husband said that his food was very good, and that it was very hot, We couldn't eat right away but it's just the way it supposed to be. I loved the broccoli I got, It tasted so good. The broccoli was tender and juicy. My grandson Loved their dumplings. He loves the ones with chicken and corn. There are 12 in an order. They have many thing in the menu but they are known for their famous pork dumplings. Those are most people's favorite. Ambience it's very relaxing. No music in the background and they have a beautiful fountain inside!! You can hear the water coming down. I am definitely coming back. Just writing about makes my mouth watering.

Four adults went in for lunch late afternoon on weekday. No other customers. Music was blasting. Why? Are they really trying to drive away customers? Staff didn't seem to enjoy it, why not tone it down? We ordered two dumplings, a noodle stir fry, and two beef noodle soups. Beef noodle soups were the best - broth was savory and the beef tender. I didn't care for the dumplings. The broth inside didn't have the umami yummy taste. 88 Bao Bao has better soup dumplings. Can't comment much on the price as everything is expensive. No reason they would charge less than their neighbors!

I got takeout of a wide variety of things and they all tasted the same. Like cheap cooking oil. They have somehow found a way to cook all the flavor out of the food and replace it with the taste of oil. The real kicker is the prices are what you would expect from a fine dining location. But, you get something you would expect in prison. I cannot discourage you enough from eating here.

Place is very clean freshened of food aroma's . The staff were friendly helpful with menu items. I choose the Vegetable chow mein noodles are made on site.fresh vegetables The vegetable spring rolls were light ,full of flavor not greasy. I like that there is Vegan option on menu.

Service was bad if not awful. Food was plain. Do not recommend. Inside was ok, clean

Ok so the previous owner knew what service was not to mention the fact that the dumplings were made in house these are clearly ordered from a restaurant supply chain. I'm glad I only ordered two dumplings and left. I use to order entrees here with the previous owners, and you can ask to make dishes spicy or more saucy. The guy that owns this spot who is new said why don't you mix the sauce at the table. I walked out. The food is not very good and service is horrible. At least the beer was cold

Amazing food & great service. The Shrimp pork & green dumplings were my favorite. I would come back again

Came in for first time. The restaurant was quiet but very clean. We were seated and brought water quickly. We ordered the spring rolls, soup dumplings, wonton soup and chicken chow mein! We were so pleased with all the dishes! We will be heading back here again!

Wife and I wanted Chinese and decided on Little Fat Dumpling since we've seen it many times while at Trader Joe's in North Fresno. So the atmosphere is real nice and the service was prompt. The food is of course what makes or breaks an experience and the food was as good as expected. We had the Fried Sesame Balls and Vegetable Spring Rolls as appetizers with Chicken Chow Mein and Vegetable Fried Rice. All the food was delicious. I would recommend the Fried Sesame Balls if you haven't tried Dim Sum before. Very good! We enjoyed ourselves.

This place never misses with the fine cuisine. Recommend everytime! I always get the sesame balls and the barbecue pork buns. Fire.

Staff was friendly and welcoming they took us in as a walk in.We got chicken chow main and chick corn dumplings and they are a must try very delicious paired up with the hot spicy oil sauce ! We also really loved there sesame balls very yummy ! The atmosphere is very nice and calm

Great beef noodle soup and dumplings. Always love hand made food. Green beans are also delicious

The food tasted good and flavorful. Service was fast and the server was friendly, fast and accurate. Place is clean and cozy. Our favorite is the honey walnut shrimp.

I ordered food online for pick-up in person. The process was easy to use. We did family style for a large group of people. The prices are fair, portions generous, and, most importantly, the food was delicious. As the name suggests, the dumplings are where it's at. Both the boiled and pan fried dumplings are fantastic. I'm a fan of the shrimp, pork, leak, and egg dumping and potstickers. The sauteed string bean is a great dish too. Little Fat Dumpling is in a busy shopping center so parking may be tricky during peak hours.

We came here after heirloom was too busy and we like dumplings so we were hopeful. However, the dumplings we ordered were my least favorite dish. The green beans would be the only thing that brings me back. The beef was so soft I had to ask the lady if it was really beef. It was a strange texture that I wasn't used to. The service was mostly good and the food came pretty quickly. Overall I think there's better dumpling spots in town and definitely outside of Fresno.

I've passed by here so many times, smelling the yummy food from outside, that I finally decided to stop by and have dinner with my girls. As soon as we walked in, we were sat immediately in a booth. Most, if not all, the seatings are booth, so keep that in mind. We were given menus as we sat and waited to have our drink orders taken. Customer service was a bit lacking when we went. We had to call our waitress several times for things like refills on drinks and an order being wrong. The table behind us apparently had left because they expressed they hadn't been helped in well over 30 minutes, and meanwhile, we had just walked in and started getting help. Something we all noticed. Finally, we got our orders in, and we chatted away waiting for food. As we waited for the food, we distributed forks and plated to everyone and noticed my fork was very dirty, as if it wasn't right at all. That's something to note. The food didn't take much time to come out. Some orders, though, took much longer than others others come out. At one point, everyone had gotten their plates except one of us. We had asked about their order, and it was as if they completely forgot about hers, so they started to make it up. I had to send my plate back, unfortunately, because I requested no bell peppers in my vegetable Chow mein, and it came with bell peppers anyway. Once we all got our food together, it was delicious. The food was very flavorful, the dumplings were packed nicely, and the meat was moist. Everything came out piping hot with the steam fuming off the plate. Loved that. Despite service and the cleanliness not being 5 stars, the food is def something to visit for. The food alone is 5 stars. Try coming at a less busier time/day, and hopefully, you'll have a better experience.

We used to really love it here, but over the last year have been unimpressed. The food isn't bad, but bland. The orange chicken is mushy and lacks flavor. Not likely to continue going here. Staff are really nice though.

Shit was nasty no flavor. Rude waiter too. If you want good food don't eat here, way better food somewhere else. Especially for the price, save your self. I don't leave reviews but this was so bad .

We have visited this location in the past and been wonderfully surprised at the quality. However, this time around, you were very disappointed by the quality of the rice and that we were charged extra for a tiny little bowl of dry, old crop rice. Our food took quite some time to come out, granted that it was the dinner hour. For a party of two, we each ordered one entrée and a bowl of rice. My entrée came out about 15 minutes after we were seated and my friends came about 25 minutes after we receded. Thankfully, her plate was piping, hot and freshly made with crispy vegetables and Perfectly cooked chicken. For the location, I would say it is what you would expect. But compared to my memories of this place, I'm sorry to say that I will not be returning.

I got the sweet and sour fish!! It's my fav!! So delish. Great staff, quick to set when I walked in!!

Came for lunch today, my first time here. Got seated right away. Friendly service right off the bat. Ordered a few different plates. The Kung Pao Chicken was my favorite. Great flavor, not overpowering at all. The sauce was very tasty. Also ordered the green string beans that were amazing as well. Tried the dumpling soup,edamame,pork buns and bacon shrimp fried rice. Not bad prices, fed 4 of us adults for $80 and that included 3 soft drinks and an iced tea. Very reasonable. I will be back soon!!

Came and had name on waitlist and was told 30 minutes so decided to place order to go instead. An hr later still haven't gotten our order. Should've stayed dining in since those that came at the same time for dine in as us had all ready gotten their food and ate while we are still waiting for our order.

Best dumbling spot in the area definitely would recommend!!! Excellent service and the food is amazingfair prices.

I've eaten here several times now. Recently they created a new and more comfortable, intimate seating arrangement. The food though is fresh and delicious and the best thing about this place is. It's not a huge establishment but it's never empty. Staff are super friendly and attentive. Never an empty glass at least not for long. They serve you family style which is nice to know if you're ordering for a larger group and the portions are generous. Parking is easily available. Now for the best part. I highly highly recommend the soup dumplings, because they're hands down the best I've had anywhere. The Garlic chicken is also delicious and if you're up for medium spicy the Spicy noodles soup is very yum. They do have tasty buns but if you have a sweet tooth the custard buns are great. Take my word for it and eat here if anything sounds good about this review psst it's the soup dumplings. Ha!

So so so good! Amazing! The dumplings here I wonderful! If you are in the era please try if you want authentic dumplings and bao!

This place is such a local gem! Very authentic tasting Chinese food. While we usually get the kung Pao chicken and Mongolian beef, everything else we've tried has been amazing too! Their walnut shrimp is amazing. Portions are good and we get consistent quality each time. Clean interior and good atmosphere.

We came to Little Fat Dumpling on Sunday at 5:00pm. It was fairly busy but we were sat within 15 minutes. The BBQ pork buns were delicious. The Mongolian beef had great flavor and a bit of spice. The chow mein noodles were fresh and tasty. Portions were good and we had leftovers to-go! I will be back to try more items on the menu.

Stopped by for lunch on a sunday. it wasn't super busy, got seated right away. The space is pretty small. The host and server were very nice. I ordered a good amount of food and it was reasonably priced in my opinion. The shrimp fried rice was my personal favorite. I wasn't a big fan of the shrimp dumplings.

I have nothing but good things to say about this place. I took my son to eat dinner here with me, as a "mother - son date" and we were seated right away. We were surprised because it was pretty busy inside with people dining as well as people getting to go orders. We were both pretty hungry and couldn't decide what to order so we started with some hot tea then ordered a few different plates to try out. A bit of a wait but not too bad, especially since I mentioned earlier that they were busy and we ordered about 7 plates for 2 people. We both absolutely loved every plate. Everything tasted fresh and very flavorful. Plates are served with a good amount A man from the kitchen (my son said was the chef) came out towards the end to Thank us for dining in and laughed at the fact that a young boy and his mother had ordered that amount of food lol. We cannot wait to return again, I need to bring my other kid and husband next time!

We got pork soup dumplings they were very delicious and fresh We also got veggie noodles! The service was very fast and the food was hot & fresh

Little Fat Dumpling is located in Park Crossing Shopping Center across from Trader Joe's. We ventured in for dinner on a nice Wednesday evening. It was empty at 1st. Before we left after 7:30pm, every booth was full and 3 families were waiting for takeout. There was only 1 lady serving all of us. The kitchen was super busy with the orders so it was taking longer to get the food. However, it was hot tho. All the food was flavorful. We really enjoyed everything. I just couldn't give 4 stars because of the service. Hopefully, we can try this spot again the next time we're in Fresno.

The Food, the Service, the price! Really amazing!! The Service was so amazing too the server was so kind and polite.

My friend and I went on a hunt to find soup dumplings in town because we'd never had them before. It was a great first experience and very yummy. We also got crab rangoons (which I can talk from experience this time) were delicious. The staff was friendly, and due to a lack of customers at the time, spent most of the time cleaning. I will say, the restaurant was a bit awkwardly silent because there was no music playing haha.

I would recommend the pork buns but the pot stickers and beef spicy chilli soup we got was not good. The service was good and the seating booths are well organized. I think we ordered the wrong items but I would not come back here.
