Serious Sanji| Dumpling & Dim Sum & Bubble Tea

We found this place in Instagram and decided to give it a chance. What a fantastic surprise!!! The food is fresh, tasty, and made right in front of you. Definitely, they won my first place for eating dumplings. Crew, which is nice, they will explain what to do to order your food, and they have a robot that will bring it to you 🤖 ... so funny! We also like the family atmosphere and out of the ordinary decoration (nothing fancy but don't expect the traditional "Asian restaurant decoration". Oh, bring a sweater because it is a bit cold inside the restaurant. We'll definitely be back!!!

I found this place through an instagram post and decided to check it out in person. What a fun place to go with delicious food. The atmosphere was incredible! Phenomenal job on the fun decor, the seats were very comfortable, the food was so fresh tasting and delicious. I love that they include pictures by the food items. Very friendly employees who kindly showed us how to order from their unique system. If you’re staying to eat at the restaurant, you grab a seat, pull out your phone, scan the QR code, place your order, and a cute little robot kitty delivers your food when ready. Highly recommend trying this restaurant out!

It came here with my teenager and we both loved it. The robot that delivers the food is so cool. The food itself was delicious. We ordered way too much food for just the two of us because everything looked so good. I love how there’s water in actual cups available without having to request it. the entire set up is so clean and sleek and yet also comfortable. They did a great job with even the chair selections. Love the decor as well. Thing was just well done. We will absolutely be back for the food. This is a great addition to the area.

I came across Serious Sanji | Dumpling & Dim Sum & Bubble Tea in Plantation, Florida, via social media and decided to check them out. The atmosphere is great for a quick bite, and you can see the dumplings being made fresh, which is a nice touch. I’ve included some photos and videos to show the process. The food is a bit expensive for the amount you get. I ordered two entrees, and while they cost $20.00 and weren’t very filling, they tasted absolutely fantastic. The quality and flavor of the dumplings were top-notch. One of the highlights of my visit was that the food is delivered by a robot, something I had never seen in person before. It added a fun and unique element to the dining experience. Overall, I definitely recommend Serious Sanji for anyone looking to enjoy some fresh, delicious dumplings. It’s a bit on the pricey side, but the quality and unique experience make it worth a visit.

All these negative reviews about this place are absolutely ridiculous! I can't believe some people have the audacity to complain about every little thing just to undermine the reputation of a perfectly good establishment. Seriously, get a life! Find a job, be a positive role model, or maybe just get a hug because clearly, you need it. Ugh, it's so frustrating! Now, let me express my feelings and impressions about this place. Wait before it all a ROBOT was our waiter My wife and I were fortunate enough to be the second customers when they opened, and let me tell you, the ambiance of this place is simply adorable. From the charming signage to the cozy atmosphere, it's evident that they've put a lot of effort into creating a traditional and inviting setting. And the menu? Oh boy, it's a food lover's dream! We decided to try a little bit of everything, and let me tell you, the portions were generous. Even someone like me, who's not exactly short, had more than enough to satisfy their appetite. The flavors of the dishes were spot on, and I couldn't be happier with our dining experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a delicious and fulfilling meal. Just make sure to come with a big appetite because you're definitely going to need it. I absolutely love it here!

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant that serves incredibly dumplings. I absolutely loved the chive and pork dumplings, as they had the perfect balance of flavors. The atmosphere was great, with a cool and futuristic vibe thanks to the presence of a super cool robot. I highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to indulge in mouthwatering dumplings and enjoy a unique dining experience.

Great customer service. Server offered me water as I waited for my food (I ordered takeout). Very kind staff, very clean and welcoming atmosphere. Got the mini chicken and cheese dumplings with boba. Very good. Will come again :)

I’ve been wanting to come here for a while, and I am so glad I finally did! The dumplings are SO YUMMY!! I got the infamous boba cup with dumplings on top and I am so happy with it. The boba itself was very mediocre, where the tapioca pearls were kinda chewy and the brown sugar milk tea was basically just milk (I didn’t even finish it because it was so bland), but the mini buns were delicious! The atmosphere of the restaurant is also SO cute, filled with wonderful decor and a cute little robot that serves everyone inside and plays music. I just love this place!

This is a fun experience for dim sum in Plantation at the corner of Peter's rd and University Dr. We went to celebrate our two year old grandsons birthday hoping he would be entertained by the robot server. The menu had lots of options and it was delicious. It's a smaller restaurant but there were plenty tables and it was decorated nice and it's clean. We enjoyed rice, spicy chicken. scallion pancakes and soup dumplings! Will be back to sample rest of menu.

Service: 5/5 Food/drink: 3/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Price: $$ Overall: 4/5 I got the mini pork bun combo with a Mango Sago drink for takeout on a Friday lunch time. The restaurant has about 15 tables. It was clean inside and there was corner station where we see a lady making fresh dumplings. There were three groups dining in. The server was friendly and took our order right away. The combo is $19.99. We thought the combo comes with drink for free and the server said we could pick any drink we want. We ended up with extra charge of $1.25 because the mango sago drink comes with boba according to the server's explanation. The total for these two items came up to be $22ish including tax. The mini pork buns were delicious. They were bathed in soy sauce with some minced garlic and scallions. We added some vinegar and sriracha sauce because we usually eat soup dumplings with a little sour and spicy. The mango sago was meh. It tasted like powder drink. Overall the food was good. I would advise to try other drinks rather than the mango sago. I think it is a little expensive but it was a fun experience.

Serious sanji was definitely a place I have been wanting to try and glad I got to! It was really nice inside with a ton of different seating options. I placed my order and unfortunately most things were out that day. Literally six different items we wanted so we had to revert to only a few options on the menu. That was quite frustrating but it is what it is. We ordered the chicken soup dumplings, noodles and the spring rolls and they all came out pretty quickly! They were also served by a robot which I thought was really cool. The food was fresh and tasted good. I would come back but I would be quite disappointed if they were out of everything like this time. I'd like to give it another shot one day though.

Solid dumplings. This isn't my first time trying serious sanji but, it was my first time at this location. The food was good. My family and I ordered the cucumber salad, panfried beef dumplings, wonton soup, pork sanji, salt and pepper shrimp. The cucumber salad was very sweet, very different from other ones that I have tried. I would not order it again. The dumplings were great. The wonton soup could've had a bit more flavor. The salt and pepper shrimp has a great coating but, the skin is still on. As someone who doesn't eat shrimp skin it would've been so good if the shrimp was peeled. The service was slow. The inside is clean and has a good ambiance to it. If you're gonna get anything obviously get dumplings.

I tried a variety of dishes, and each one was unique in flavor. They were well balanced, and while the portions looked small at first, they ended up being surprisingly filling. Plus, I found the pricing to be very fair for the quality. The service here was friendly and nice. They gave a kind heads-up for last call without making us feel rushed. (I went pretty close to closing time.) The ambiance is cute. It has nice decor and a delivery robot which is such a unique touch. Bonus highlight: My biggest pet peeve is a lack of cleanliness in restaurants. However, their tables and menus were squeaky clean. No sticky spots or crumbs left over. From start to finish, this place hits the mark. It's comforting, flavorful, and worth repeat visits. Can't wait to return and try those items that were sold out.

Disappointing food. The restaurant is clean and the server was really nice. He was the only one seating people and taking orders, but it wasn't that busy so the service was fine. Prices are good, but the food was just ok. I loved the server robot with the cat face that smiles when it brings your food - quite fun to watch. We ordered : Pork & Shrimp Siu Mai - $10.55- Steamed dumplings filled with seasoned pork and shrimp, topped with a touch of roe. I am used to these being firm and tasty. These were watery with no flavor. Couldn't really taste the pork or shrimp. Har Gao Crystal Shrimp Dumplings -$9.35- Delicate dumplings filled with succulent shrimp, wrapped in a translucent, slightly chewy rice flour skin. These tasted a bit fishy - which I have never experienced before. Not appetizing. Pan-Fried Chicken Dumplings - $10.55 - 8 of them These were pretty good, but in all honestly, Trader Joes frozen chicken dumplings that you make at home, were better. So would I go back? No - when I crave dim sum, I want it to be what I enjoy, and unfortunately, I did not enjoy the food enough.

05/29/25 - Overall, a good experience. The food was enjoyable, though we arrived around 8 PM and unfortunately several pork options were already sold out, so we substituted with chicken in a few dishes. We plan to return for another visit. We had: 1. Crispy Chicken - Tasty, though a bit pricey given the portion size. 2. Wontons with Chili Sauce (Chicken) - Flavorful and well-prepared. 3. Chicken Sanji - Very good; would have preferred the pork version, but the chicken was still satisfying. 4. Noodie Soup (Spicy Duck) - Excellent; rich and flavorful. 5. Mango Sago Drink - Underwhelming; not quite to our taste. 6. Cucumber salad - Very Very good!!

Great little place for some dumplings. We didn't have to wait for a seat and the menu had a good variety of items. We decided to try the steam chicken dumplings, no issue at all they were delicious. And the shrimp dim sum which were wrapped well and steamed well. The table does have some sirracha, soy sauce, vinegar and chili oil and the dumplings come with a sauce as well. The cost was nice as most items are less than 10$ except for a noodle or fried rice item

Tried the scallion noodles and chicken wings. Noodles had a nice texture and aromatic scallion oil, simple and to the point. Wings were crispy, not overly seasoned. Their sriracha hot sauce made up for it. Quick service and clean spot and loved their ambience. I'll come back to try the dumplings, which seem to be the main character there.

The food is amazing, on their menu a lot of items are unavailable. Their service is top notch, the workers are so friendly. The ambiance, is very clean.

Little tardy to API month but stumbled on this spot yesterday and really enjoyed my takeout experience. The inside is super cutesy and clean. Ordered at the kiosk since it was to go, was eventually greeted by kind staff who advised it would be out soon. Got some water and made myself a sauce at the to go station whilst I waited. Ordered 4 salt and pepper wings and soup dumplings. Took a while but it was cooked hot fresh and beautifully packaged. Wings were breaded lightly but crisply and juicy inside. They needed no sauce but the dumpling sauce worked well with them. Soup dumps had a savory broth inside and were a nice size. My only gripe is the dough is a bit thick for my liking and two had no soup inside but they were a tasty light lunch. Both ran me about $17ish. i might come back and try other dim sum offerings but the wings alone are worth a side quest to Plantation .

Serious Sanji has quickly become a favorite weeknight spot for me and my family. A relaxing, casual atmosphere, easy ordering process, and consistently delicious food - this is a fantastic addition to the Plantation food scene. I'll preface this review by saying that I am picky about dumplings. I usually make my own from scratch, and more often than not end up disappointed in the flavor and texture of restaurant dumplings. That is absolutely NOT the case here at Sanji. These dumplings are handmade right in-store (you can watch them do it), and you can 100% taste it. My personal favorites off the menu are the pork and chive dumplings, the chicken sanji, the chili oil wontons, the spicy duck noodle soup, and the coconut lava ball dessert. But really, I haven't been dissatisfied with a single thing off the menu. I'd say order whatever sounds good and experiment! One of the big draws for us is actually the service model. You choose your own table when you walk in, and then order and pay from a QR code at your table using your phone. Your dishes are brought to you by a robot, and you can grab plates, silverware, and other table setting items freely. I like not having to wait for table service, especially for a quick, casual meal. That being said, this place doesn't feel quick casual. It's really clean with soft, relaxing music playing in the background - a far cry from any other "fast food" restaurant I've been to. If you love dumplings and want a quick, tasty meal, Serious Sanji is the place for you.

This place is just what south florida needs. The atomosphere is warm and bright, i love the open kitchen concept so you can watch them stuff your dumplings by hand. It is very clean, but hands down the best part is the robot kitty server that delivers your food. It is so cute!! Ordering is quick and seamless by scanning the qr code at your table. To drink we had the mango iced tea and the strawberry frozen tea with the cheese foam with the mini pork sanji on top! incredible! pretty doughy almost like bao but i loved them and put so much chili oil! We also had the shrimp rice roll, pork and crab soup dumplings, and the chili oil dumplings. My favorite were the chili dumplings by far, the flavor was awesome with the scallion and cilantro. We also loved the soup dumplings, especially the dipping sauce. the rice roll you can probably skip but we wanted to try something new. Please open in Miami!!!

Two of my daughters had eaten here a couple of weeks earlier and raved about the food so when my youngest daughter came home, we decided to have lunch here. We ordered a couple of dishes to try. My middle daughter ordered some of the dishes she had with her older sister that she liked and there were some new dishes she hadn't tried. Our order consisted of Cucumber Salad, Scallion Pancakes, Chicken Sanji (this wasn't my favorite but I think it's because it's a texture thing for me), Pork Soup Dumpling, pan fried Pork Dumplings & BBQ Pork Bun. My favorites were the pan fried Pork Dumplings and the BBQ Pork Bun. We didn't realize the Pork Soup Dumplings were in the bottom of the bamboo steamer until towards the end of our meal. By then they had cooled off and were sticking to the parchment paper and some popped open when we tried to scoop them out. The robot that brought the food out was really cute. I liked that they had takeout containers for your leftovers out on a counter so you didn't have to ask an employee.

This Serious Sanji is in Plantation and it's in the plaza with Enson Market. I know this is a newer location but this was my first time trying it. I was in the area looking for a quick lunch and found this spot on Yelp! Parking was a breeze since the plaza its in has a lot of spots. The inside is clean and is mostly self-serve. There is a screen that you can order from by the door for takeout orders and for all other orders, you just choose a table and scan the code to order. Although they have a register, they don't prefer you order there. I tried to order from the register and they insisted I order through the QR code at the table. The food is served by a robot, which is pretty neat. For utensils and all other condiments/sauces, they have a station you have to also self-serve. For food, I got the pork sanji, which is a dumpling with a pan-fried sear at the bottom and the cucumber salad. The sanji was really good but the cucumber salad was just okay. It leaned on the sweeter side, which I usually don't mind but it was an odd and overpowering sweet. I ended up not finishing it, which is a bit out of the ordinary for me but I didn't care for it. Overall, a good quick spot to grab food. I'd like to try their soup dumpling and their famous cup and mini sanji combo (they were out of it when I came).

Heard about this Chinese restaurant that slings big dumplings and are delivered to your table by a robot server. We parked right out front with no issues and walked to the cashier to order take out dumplings. To my right, three women were preparing fresh dumplings and other goodies. A woman was at the order counter for at least ten minutes getting a crash course on the menu. Three other customers were feeding at their tables. As I waited impatiently, I asked an employee if I could order the dumplings togo through another employee and was told NO. As we walked toward the exit doors to leave, a manager or owner approached and asked if she could assist and brought over the cashier to take my order on a portable Ipad of six big pork dumplings for $10.00. Within five minuts they brought over a togo bag containing the food, but we decided to eat in. I drowned the steamed dumplings into soy sauce and Whoa!!! They were so good. Watched the cool robot deliver food to other patron's tables. Both bathrooms were out of order. May come back for the dumplings.

The food was absolutely delicious. I wanted to continue to try more of their food but i will definitely come back. The service was friendly and decently quick, the staff is always attentive. The ambiance is nice, it feels and looks like a fancy restaurant but it plays modern music which gives it an open feeling. I recommend if you are looking for something new and delicious

Cute place but... Took forever to order. Only one person taking them. Was approached by one of the workers because we looked puzzled and were ready to leave. She took our order and gave us free waters because of the wait. We ordered the steamed pork dumplings which were made fresh and large. Was good but not sure if I'd return.

Love that they've brought technology into the venue. We ordered and the food came quickly. Everything is fresh! I love that they also have the pan friend pork buns with boba tea combo.

The sanjis are all dough and hard. Soup dumplings really good. All of them. And pork and chive pan fried dumplings Shrimp shumai super fishy There were many flies flying around. 2 tables @ 7:30pm !!!! I was told that their credit card tips aren't given to employees.

Great Location for some comfort food. Small and cozy eatery. Very much giving Gen Z. Computerized waiter that brings meals to your table. Use the kiosk at the main entrance to order or scan the code and order from your cell phone. A must see, taste and experience. The shrimp dumplings were out of this world. Freshly made daily. The Ramen noodle soup with beef was lacking flavor. I didn't like it. The mango green tea with Boba pearls was decent. But the dumplings were so good I'm definitely coming back. Parking in the front is limited but there is plenty of parking just a few feet away The restaurant is situated in a small strip with other businesses. Stop by give them a try.

The dan dan noodles are maddeningly bad. They're basically flavorless noodles with ground beef. Ground beef! Dan Dan noodles is supposed to have a flavorful, spicy, nutty, chili oil dressing with ground pork in it. This has none of that! I cannot believe how bad this is AND they have the audacity to charge $12 it. $12 for noodles and ground beef. Do not order this.

Seriously good Sanji. First time I went I got the Boba with Sanji cup as seen in the pictures. It was a good amount of food for one person and the mango Boba milk. Tea was delicious. The second time I won, I got some really great pork soup dumplings and Dan dan noodles. Noodles were OK, nothing special. I was disappointed in my strawberry cheese foam drink on that visit Everyone is really nice and they have a robot waiter that brings your food out to you. Both times I've gone it's not too busy, but it'll take about 10 to 15 minutes to get your food.

Was super excited to try this new casual restaurant. However, I am unsure whether I ordered the right thing. $40 for 4 items that left us hungry. Three of four items lacked in flavor. The fried chicken bites were good- would've liked for it to have come with more pieces. I echo what another Yelper mentioned of also being disappointed in their chili oil. Aside from the food, the staff was kind and helped me understand the menu items. The robot was cool when it delivered food. Would be open to trying different items in the future

I have eaten here multiple times and have always enjoyed my food. Today, when I first sat down there were small sugar ants on the table. We started eating the siu mai and I was noticing it was especially juicy. After a few bites, I realized the texture was off. I looked down and realized they served us RAW pork. I addressed it with the manager, but I did not feel my problems were being heard. We tried to continue eating but felt too uneasy to eat any more of the dishes we were served. I had to request to speak with the manager for a second time to let her know that I was concerned that I had just consumed raw pork and that I felt dismissed by her initial response. It's been a few hours, and we do not feel well.

Serious Sanji along with Serious Dumpling is a chain of dumpling shops with locations in North Miami, Davie, Boca, and this one in Plantation in the former Ovlo Eats. Locations are coming to Coral Springs and Ft. Lauderdale. Serious Sanji has a unique set up. You seat yourself and order from the menu on a QR code you scan at the table. You can also grab a paper menu. An adorable robot or an employee brings your order out whenever it is ready so you may get things one at a time. The Serious Sanji menu features Chinese street food. You can choose from appetizers, the restaurants namesake sanji, dumplings, soup dumplings, soup, noodles, noodle soup, Chinese burrito, dim sum, rice rolls, green rea, bubble tea, and dessert. I decided to order the lychee green tea with lychee jelly, pan fried pork dumplings, and the Dan Dan Noodles. The robot brought my dumplings first and they were delightfully crisp with a savory filling. They came with a dipping sauce and there is chili sauce and other condiments on the table. Next came my bubble tea which I was able to customize to the desired sweetness on the app. My Dan Dan Noodles were delivered last and the long noodles arrived topped with a delicious savory and spicy minced pork. Portions are generous and I had leftovers. They have to go containers set out next to the complimentary water. I like the restaurant concept and the robot boosts the cuteness factor. You can watch staff make the dumplings behind a glass window so you know the food is fresh. Inside the restaurant is decorated with interesting murals and Instagram ready art. For even more Asian culinary delights you can stop by Enson Market across from this restaurant.

I have been to other serious dumpling but this one was the best one that I had so far. Everything was delicious and it was very fulfilling. The pork and chicken soup dumplings were on point. You can actually tasted the soup from dumplings. The sanji beef was good but I wished that had a little bit more meat into it but the chicken had the right amount. I was surprised the service was very promptly since we ordered about 14 items. I would come back here and again and tried different type of food from the menu

I'm going to keep this review short and not so sweet! Fellow yelpers I apologize, but I completely disagree with the FOUR star rating this place has! We ordered several items and unfortunately, only 2 of the 7 items were palatable. The Scallion Pancakes were decent as was the Shrimp Har Gor the rest of them were not close to being edible It appears that several of the dishes we ordered seem to have been either microwaved or reheated definitely not freshly steamed ! The duck was gamy and inedible as was the beef Sanji, which was pink in color and tasted gross! I have had Dumplings the World over this was probably the worst of them! This place should be renamed Seriously Sad Sanji ! WE WILL NEVER BE BACK.

Seriously Sanji... The most I can give you is a 3 I've been told other Serious Dumpling places are better than the other But for me , i can't see it being better than another For me, every bite of anything was not really amazing Same taste, so it got a little boring The biggest downfall is their chili oil Was just straight up oil Crispiness lacked But the bao Peking duck buns was crack :)) Service is more self served and by a robot Overall the concept is nice but the food was not all that

I wish the customer service was better, but the dumplings make it worth it. Everything is good and tastes fresh.

When we first walked in, we loved the decor. The guy at the front wasn't helpful at all since this is our first time here. He didn't really say much and switched with a girl. She was nice but also didn't really give any recommendations as we tried to order. I liked that she walked over and told us which dumplings were which when the food came out. The ladies making the dumplings were really nice and greeted our baby. Love the utensils and to go station. It was really clean and well kept. The dumpling skin was too thick for me. I prefer my dumplings to have veggies inside. The options were limited to chicken beef pork and pork with chives. The highlight of the meal was the sauce. The chili oil didn't sit well with my stomach. I've been bloated since the meal. My fiance loves their thai tea. The soup dumplings were OK not as flavorful as the other dumplings places around. Don't think we will be back

Much needed and welcome addition to the neighborhood if you ask me. Located in the Ovlo Eats old location. Big, bright & clean spot with an ample parking lot. There is a kiosk at the entrance for take out orders only. If you're dining in you can order at the counter or at the table with the QR code. A cute robot will bring you your food when it's ready. Dim sum and dumplings are handmade on-site. A couple of things I did not care for: first, utensils and napkins are not at the table. You have to get them yourself and no one tells you this. Secondly, the receipt provided does not tell your the items you ordered rather just the amount, tax and tip. I prefer an itemized receipt. However, we enjoyed everything we had so we will be back to try some of their other tasty bites and sips.

I was so surprised that there was a robot server, but the food came out fast and fresh shortly after we ordered. You pick a table, scan the QR code, order and pay through your phone. Utensils, water, and napkins are self-serve, and drinks are brought out by a staff member. I ordered the passion fruit iced tea, cucumber salad, chicken soup dumplings, and the bbq roast pork buns. My husband ordered a coke, the pan fried pork dumplings and the crispy chicken. The food was great and very filling (my husband and I ended up sharing it all between us). Serious Sanji is a great place for a cozy lunch or dinner and is the perfect place to do some studying or work, as the ambiance is great for it.

Was so excited for this to open!! Gave it a try today!!! When you walk in, it's absolutely gorgeous!!! And smells good!! And there are people in the back making dumplings fresh!! But we Definitely won't be returning . Which is so unfortunate! Got the absolute worst boba tea I've ever had. It tasted like milk, and had no sweetness! The soup dumplings were eh, the custard dumplings were good, the rice rolls were decent, and the sanji dumplings were the best items on the menu. Unfortunately, having one really good item isint enough for us to return. The service was lacking- there was one really nice older gentleman who was showing my 3 year old daughter and 2.5 year old niece attention and he was great! And another younger woman brought them kids chopsticks- which they ABSOLUTELY LOVED!! I do think those two employees were cooks?? I'm not sure though because we only saw them briefly But the FOH employees just didn't seem into it, no one checked on us or even tried to converse with us, which isint a huge deal but it would've been nice.

Very clean and everything was yummy Prices are reasonable. We tried a bit of everything and were very satisfied

Decor is super cute. The wings were amazing. Super well seasoned and the crunch was epic! The dumplings were good I wish they had a better chili oil at the table though but that's more personal preference! The boba was good and they have nondairy options

We pulled up at Serious Sanji and saw a line outside. But alas it belonged to the First Watch next door. This eatery is relatively new in the strip mall at the SW corner of Peters Road and University Drive (next to the gas station and joining the Enson Asian grocery store). Inside the restaurant, we were greeted by a cheerful young lady who offered to be available for any help we may need. Little did she know how much help she would have to offer. After trying to order from the scan code at our table, we had to give up and get on line. We ended up being the fifth in queue after having been at our table for more than 20 minutes. We ordered and waited. (One lady complained because she was waiting 45 minutes for her small take-out order.) Service was slow and spotty. It took almost two hours from start to finish to order, get our items, and have our luncheon. A nearby table was missing an item, but got one of their dishes twice. (Helpful hint: Even if you are eating in, order from the counter. It's easier and faster!) The dining room is bright and cheery and the cute robot that brings out most of the food was not something new for us, but nevertheless still a novelty. We tried the scallion pancakes (nice and thin and crispy but too greasy), the Shanghai soup dumplings (great), the salt and pepper chicken wings (yummy), and the mini fried pork sanji buns (tasty). The mango iced tea (without milk) was kind of tasteless and the boba balls were a bit hard. We were stuffed but had to try just one more thing: the steamed custard buns (ni wong boa in Chinese). While the food was mostly delicious, it is not cheap. We spent a whopping $53 for all of the aforementioned. I must say this restaurant should get four stars for its delicious fare, but the service was so spotty I had to drop a star from its overall rating. Serious Sanji in Plantation has to work out the kinks and get more organized so it can accompany its good food with equally good service. I live about 2 miles away, so I am happy to have it in the neighborhood and will be back to try more!

Yum yum yum! Visited for the first time tonight. Loved that I can scan the QR on the table order and pay and then the robot brings out your food. Here's the breakdown of the order and what I thought of the items: 1) scallion pancake - yummy 2) lotos wrapped rice - nice flavor. I would get it again. 3) pan fried pork dumplings - delicious!!! 4) pan fried pork and chive - also delicious. We ended up with these because they were out of the shrimp dumplings. 5) noodles with green onion oil - meh. I wouldn't get this again. One drawback - they need to clean the tables a little bit quicker. We came in and there we were three free tables and one booth. The table was too big for us so we got the booth but but it was dirty and needed to be wiped down. I can't wait to go next week and try some other items. Lovely addition to Plantation!

Cute Concept, But Food Falls Short Let me start with the positives: the restaurant is cute. You're welcomed by a large dumpling statue right by the entrance. What really stands out, is the robot that delivers food to your table, a cool touch for those looking to snap some Instagram-worthy pics. The drink selection, including boba and fruit teas, is also a nice perk. Unfortunately, that's where the highlights end. If you're in the mood for a unique dining and some fun photos, this place will do it. The menu is available via the QR code located on small stickers near each booth, also, a lot of items from the menu were not available to order on the day we visited, such as all variety of mini steamed dumplings. But when it comes to the flavor and quality of the food, they missed the train. The wait time for our dishes was long, and we wondered if it might be faster for the human servers to just bring the food instead of relying on the robot. I visited this location yesterday after seeing the hype on Instagram. We were excited about the rice noodle rolls, so we ordered two, one with shrimp and the other with roast pork. We also tried the Peking duck pancakes (3 in a order), BBQ pork buns (3 in order), and sesame balls for dessert. For drinks, we got 3 types of tea: jasmine with lychee bubbles (which turned out to be strips of lychee that can be a choking hazard if you're not careful), and a melon tea with pudding. We also tried the Thai iced tea, which unfortunately was so watered down and bland that we couldn't finish it. While the melon and jasmine teas had good flavors, the strips of lychee flying up the straw is definitely dangerous, especially for small children. The Thai iced tea was a major letdown, it was practically flavorless. The food was simply disappointing. The Peking duck pancakes were the best thing we ordered, but still had major flaws. While the duck portion was generous, the meat wasn't tender as I've had at other places, and the pancake itself was incredibly sticky. After every bite, I found myself trying to clean the dough off my teeth. The bbq pork buns were large and packed with filling, but they lacked all the flavor. They were fine, but nothing to brag about. The sesame balls were decent, its a pretty basic dessert, so there's not much to say there. The rice noodle rolls, however, were a complete disappointment. Both the shrimp and roast pork versions were served in puddles of a watery soy sauce lookin liquid. The noodles themselves were extremely mushy and gooey--not the texture I'm used to. I've had rice noodle rolls plenty of times, especially from well known spots in Brooklyn, NY, and this was just not it. The noodles should have a smooth, gelatinous texture, with the filling folded inside each layer, not this sticky, gooey mess. The shrimp version had a few decent sized shrimps, but the overall flavor was weak and the texture of the noodles was VERY off. Neither of the rice noodle rolls was finished, we took a couple of bites and left the rest. It's possible this is just the restaurant's take on rice noodle rolls, but for those familiar with how they should taste and feel, it's not going to impress. Another issue I noticed was the lack of sanitation measures. The re-usable silver forks and knives were left out in the open for everyone to grab, with no packaging to ensure they were clean. The same station also had disposable Dexi dessert paper plates and a pitcher of ice water with glass cups for customers to use at their own discretion. While it's nice that you can help yourself, I found it a bit concerning that all these items were sitting out in a public space, not far from the garbage bin. Given my attention to hygiene at places I visit, I would have preferred individually wrapped utensils and more attention to cleanliness in these areas. All in all, while the robot delivery and boba drinks were fun, the food and overall dining experience didn't live up to the hype. If you're looking for a cool spot for photos and a drink, this place might be worth a visit, but don't expect great food, quality or a particularly clean experience. Also, items were are not cheap, we spent $75 on the 3 drinks and 4 food items.

Ordered Edamame, Pork Sanji, Roasted Pork Buns and Shrimp Rice Wraps. Was extremely disappointed. The Pork Sanji was tasty but our edamame was undercooked. It was almost like it went in the microwave but didn't get heated for long enough of a time. The Roasted Pork Buns were okay but again, felt like they were either microwaved or reheated. Not fresh tasting. The biggest disappointment was the shrimp rice rolls. Very popular dim sum dish that I have had many times in various Chinatowns in America and in Taipei. But these were butchered by Seriously Sanji. First, they stuff the rolls with cilantro. Not green onions, which you'll occasionally see on a rice roll, but cilantro, which I have never seen on a rice roll. It wasn't just garnish either... there was almost as much cilantro as there was shrimp. If you are like me and cilantro tastes like soap to you... then you'll be severely disappointed. This meal was not worth the $40 we had to pay.

It was okay. I wanted to love it so much but we just didn't. The milk tea was great. The steamed dumplings fell apart when you'd pick them up. The noodles were very bland. Fried dumplings were good. I don't think I'll be back

This place is super cute! I was excited because they have the robot that delivers the food to your table. The food came out and it was good, but unfortunately not something to rave about in my opinion. The dumplings all were very sticky and the texture just seemed off like over steamed or had been out too long not sure what makes them get like that. Every time we try to pick up a soup dumpling, it would stick to the bottom of the paper and rip open, causing a tremendous liquidy mess. The teas however were good, I tried the passion fruit green tea and liked it a lot. I would definitely like to try it again as I'm sure places have off days, but everyone was very nice and friendly.

We got the boba and buns which was super cute and so yummy. While not my favorite Thai tea, it was still good and the buns were great - crispy and nestled in a delicious sauce. We loved the little robot that brought our food to the table!

All I can say is wow!! I truly enjoyed the dining experience at Serious Sanji!! The waiter is a robot that is programmed to deliver the dishes to the table. It lights up and sings!! Very entertaining!! The food was amazing and delicious!! The variety of food on the menu is incredible from dumplings to soups to dim sum to various teas/drinks with toppings!! I wanted to try a lot of dishes and I did!! There were 3 of us and we ordered and shared the food. I ordered the crispy chicken to go. One staff member suggested we try the Sanji and the soup dumplings (dumplings filled with stuff in a soup - very original). The Peking duck buns were very good and of course, I ordered a bubble tea with almond milk. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is clean. Plenty of parking in the area. I will be back!!

The ambiance was cute inside & wasn't expecting the self service robot to drop off the food to the table! We ordered the cucumber salad, pork soup dumplings, wide noodles, rice noodles with egg & pork, fried dumplings as well. Everything was good and came out fast! I'd definitely come back.

The ambience is SO GOOD there is even a robot that serves you the food and it looks like a cat also the food is SOO GOOD I recommend the chicken dumplings but I got full and have to eat the rest a home but I LOVE THIS you should really come here Edit: I almost threw up but honestly that was my fault also do you remember when you where a kid and learned how chicken nuggets were made? Well do not go to the bathroom unless you wanna know how dumplings are made but once again I almost threw up because I ate the dumplings too fast or for some other reason but honestly still go here I guess? Before I go the service is quick because of that robot but no complaints the thing talks and plays music you can't ask for more

I stopped in here one day after seeing this place on instagram. I ordered dumplings and the noodles with the ground meat which i found to be very good. They had a machine that delivered your food which i found pretty interesting. The ambiance was pretty chill. The only thing i didn't care for was that they serve you on paper plates. Aside from that, it's a place I'd go back to.

Five of us met at Serious Sanji after work on a Friday evening. The sign that greets you when entering states it is a self-serve restaurant. There is a kiosk for clearly labeled for take out orders only but it was not clear to me how or where to order for dining in. After asking, I learned you had to scan the QR code at the table. Our order took a long time and after going to the prep area twice to ask about it we learned that because we ordered via the QR code on the menu which was brought to our table our order was considered a take out. Regardless, the robot was able to find us and eventually deliver our food. The robot reminded me of the Jetsons. We ordered the scallion pancake, chicken sanji, soup dumplings beef Chinese burrito, pork buns and dumplings. The quality of our food could have been a result of them thinking it was a take out order and some items may have been prepared quicker than others. The buns were prepared as expected. The soup dumplings had good flavor but were deflated. The burrito was a little well-done for my liking. The scallion pancake was very greasy. We only had water to drink but the menu includes an extensive selection of teas and drinks. The condiment bar was clean and well stocked with utensils, chop sticks, paper plates and cups. All the employees were encountered during our visit were pleasant. The interior is bright and clean. I noticed a lot of take out activity and as we were leaving the dining area was quite full. The prices are very reasonable, 5 of us ate for under $90.

This was a GREAT experience. Food was absolutely delicious. Service bot was fun and innovative. Will definitely be back!
