Uncle Dumpling

Love it! Food tastes so good and flavorful. We came for lunch on Saturday but it took them less than 15 minutes to make all these dishes. Cucumber salad was refreshing and crunchy! Green beans were so yummy, fried rice had a lot of eggs and it’s delicious!!! Be back soon ❤️‍🔥

Review on a Saturday soon after opening at 11. The restaurant was about half full and we were greeted and seated immediately. Our server was very attentive and sweet. Our order only took 5-10 minutes to come out. Everything was flavorful, some of the best soup dumplings I've had. Cucumber salad was refreshing and a great palette cleanser in between. Spicy beef shank was tender and paired so well with the cabbage. My friend got the beef noodles and he enjoyed it very much. Will be coming back for sure!

I recently had the pleasure of having Uncle Dumpling cater my baby shower, and I cannot say enough amazing things about them! From start to finish, the entire experience was flawless. Their communication with allowing us to pick up this large order from the restaurant was easy and made planning this special event anxiety-free. The team was so professional, accommodating, and genuinely excited to be part of our special day! And the food was perfect! Every dumpling was a little bite of heaven. You could truly taste the love and craftsmanship in each one. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the dumplings. Everything was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. Uncle Dumpling helped make our celebration feel warm, joyful, and incredibly delicious. They truly went above and beyond, and I can’t recommend them highly enough for any event or even just a casual night when you’re craving the best dumplings around. Thank you for making my baby shower so memorable!

Good dumplings! And variety of menu items is impressive. Tried their dumpling soup and was not disappointed. Their portions are large and can be shared.

Fairly tasty dumplings that appear to be freshly made at the restaurant. Really attentive and friendly wait staff.

Scallion pancake was by far my favorite. Everthing else was de- lish.. out here visiting from chicago. Will be back again.

Service and entertainment are good. Ordered pork Xiao long bao and pork and chives steamed dumplings. The wrappers are very good, handmade and fresh. The meat stuffings were not that great to be honest. Both tasted sweet and can't really taste the meat, it's like very fine ground pork. Hoping they will adjust the stuffings.

This place was so yummy! However their AC broke down so it was a little hot! But other than that, the head waitress who took our order was fast and efficient, our drinks and food came very quickly. Here is what I recommend: Potstickers Pork Xiao Long bao Pork and shrimp Xiao long bao Cucumber salad Fungus salad Pan fried juicy pork steamed buns Sesame balls Fried golden buns with condensed milk I really wanted to try the salt and pepper fried squid as I saw another table order it and it looked absolutely delicious. We did order the veggie dumplings, however I felt that they lacked flavor, where as everything else was seasoned well, this was the only miss that we ordered. They also have a glass windows that faces the diners so you can watch them make the dumplings, it is pretty cool, and gives kiddos something to watch while they wait for their food, and the adults something to look at too!

Came here on a recommendation from another Yelper and was not disappointed! This place is great! A casual Chinese restaurant with a dozen tables and a lot of staff. You can seem them working through the glass pane pumping out dumpling after dumpling. Offerings - Garlic Spinach: Exactly what it sounds like. Great flavor and not too much salt or other seasonings as compared to the other dishes. A good palette cleanser, if you will. - Pork Xiao Long Bao: Really thin dumpling skin, prone to breaking so be very gentle. The soup flavor was good and the meat flavor was more mild. I really liked that this restaurant does not follow the mainstream theory that salt = flavor. Especially for a Chinese restaurant, the sodium levels were lower than usual. - Pan Fried Dumplings: This was not my favorite. I have been spoiled by the SF market and was expecting a more distinct difference between textures. Here it was more of a bao based texture around the dumpling and lightly fried so it was more crispy at the bottom. I would also say the skin was more thick than usual in this dumpling. The flavor was good. - Mantou: Fluffy bao texture perfect for dipping in condensed milk. They achieved texture that was soft and pillowy but not sticky when consumed. Really great. - Shanghai Chow Mein: Wow, this was the star of the night. Thicker noodles cooked al dente?! And the sauce was so good. Definitely on the salty/savory side but really well balanced with sweet and umami flavors. There was not much pork in the dish and you could pay a bit extra to add more protein but the mushrooms were really excellent. It was like they were soaked or marinated in a sauce previously and really gave that protein element. - Chocolate Xiao long Bao: Yum! Very similar to the Din Tai Fung one, just without the mochi element. Creamy chocolate in a small XLB wrapper. Only 5 per order.

Uncle Dumpling completely exceeded our expectations! Everything we ordered was incredibly fresh and flavorful , honestly way better than Din Tai Fung!!! We had the pork xiao long bao, spicy wontons, and the cucumber salad, to finish off the chocolate bao and every single dish was perfect. The service was just as impressive. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel so welcoming. If you want amazing dumplings, fresh food, and great service, Uncle Dumpling is definitely the place. Can't wait to go back!

Love this spot for soup dumplings! They have Yelp waitlist, which is super convenient. The restaurant is on the smaller side but they seem to turn over quickly. Love that you can see them folding the dumplings in the window! We always order their soup dumplings, whatever flavor we're feeling. Their regular pork is great, and I also like their pan fried dumplings. Service isn't the most warm, but it's efficient. Depending on the size of your party you might be a bit squished. Decent parking.

Late review, but I've dined here twice now and both experiences were great! My sister and I came for lunch on a Sunday, and although there was a short wait, it was worth it. I'd recommend making reservations ahead of time since seating inside is limited. You can watch them making the dumplings so you know they're fresh and made to order. We ordered the Pork XLB, Crab & Pork XLB, Cucumber Salad, and Chili Wontons, and every dish was a hit. My favorites were the Chili Wontons and Pork XLB--both packed with great flavor and perfectly balanced. Service was quick, the food quality was excellent, and atmosphere made you feel like you were at miniature neon night market and overall it was another enjoyable visit. Definitely won't be my last--I'm already looking forward to coming back!

First visit to Uncle Dumpling at it sure won't be my last. Not only is this in a really fun and exploitable shopping center, Uncle Dumpling itself is decorated wonderfully inside and out. The service itself was great they were very attentive and friendly, always keeping empty plates off the table and checking on us. Everything also came out super quick and piping hot. The food, was decent.... The Jajang noodles were definitely a favorite but they did need quite a bit more spice for me, I loaded them up with chili oil. Interesting side bar about the chili oil, it's very mild here. I could never get enough to actually make my food spicy. The dumplings were tasty as well, the truffle version being the favorite over the standard pork. The S&P squid is actually quite fantastic and we found it to be even better dipped in the sauce that came with the beef shank. I just with the squid had some 5 spice. The local places I go to always have a hint of 5 spice in their S&P offerings and it gives it a nice extra depth of flavor. The desert Xio Long Bao were pretty great, nice little treat at the end. Things that stand out to me first, lacking a bit of selection here. There is no Shui Mai, one of our favorites so I would probably not be returning anytime soon, and there is also no steamed buns, which are my kids favorite part of Dim Sum. They do have scallion pancake, but no beef pancake, another favorite of my family.

Pork xiao long bao!! Very delicious and made fresh by the kitchen! They came out souper hot, and I like that the wrap/skin of the dumpling wasnt too thick nor thin. The broth was delicious and had the right amount of flavor! Cravings were definitely satisfied today Staff was super friendly and welcoming! I love that they provided big soup spoons to eat the dumplings with, it made eating mess free :)

5/5 Food: We ordered cucumber salad, spicy wontons, crab & pork xiao long bao, pan-fried juicy pork buns, Shanghai chow mein, and finished with the chocolate xiao long bao. Everything was flavorful and fresh, but the highlights were the pan-fried juicy pork buns (crispy, juicy, and perfectly seasoned) and the chocolate xiao long bao, which was such a fun and delicious twist on dessert. Service: Service was excellent--friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Food came out quickly, one dish at a time, so everything felt freshly made. Atmosphere: There was no wait when we arrived around 5:30pm on a Friday, but it is a smaller indoor dining spot so I could see it getting busy at peak times. We loved the open-concept kitchen with a window to watch the dumplings being made--it added to the experience. Overall: A fantastic date night spot! Great food, great service, and a unique atmosphere. We'll definitely be back to try more from the menu. Highly recommend for dumpling lovers.

Food: 5/5 My family, friends and I keep coming back here. And if I were to recommend any restaurant to eat at in Roseville it's this. The truffle fried rice is the best fried rice I've ever had, and I'm Filipino so that says something. Service: 5/5 I've always had a good experience with the service provided here! Ambiance: 5/5 its a small shop but it's well decorated and it's a nice feature to be able to see them make the dumplings!

The second I walked in, Cody C was very attentive and made sure I got seated and had what I needed right away. This included a menu, water, plate, chopsticks, napkins and a spoon. I was able to place my order in a reasonable amount of time. I had to get the scallion pancake, sesame balls, chicken dumplings and summer lychee tea. Everything was made fresh to order and tasted delicious. For a place so small, this is sure worth it! The interior is decorated beautifully. I love that customers can see what the kitchen is up to. I went right when they opened at 11 and was seated right away. During my time there, a big party of 6 showed up, there were a couple parties of 2 and a few to go orders. There's plenty of parking in the lot by the surrounding businesses and there's a restroom in the back inside the restaurant. I highly recommend you check out Uncle Dumpling because they have great customer service, their food is absolutely delicious and the environment is cozy and fun.

Great food with exceptional service. Restaurant is small with maybe about a dozen tables. But the cooks here are pushing out orders quickly. My lady and I ordered several dishes all of which came out within minutes of ordering. The dish that stood out to me was the soup dumplings with pork. The broth was delicious and the burst of juice upon the first bite made it a fun dumpling. Also try their cucumber salad! The uncle fried rice was super fluffy. Really enjoyed that. We also loved the garlic noodles and although it wasn't the greatest it was great nonetheless. The fried potstickers here were crunchy and filled with juicy meat. Server was polite and the other workers came to check on us throughout our dining experience. Clean bathrooms as well.

I've been wanting to try Uncle Dumpling for a while, so today we stopped in for lunch on our way home. The ambiance instantly impressed me--hands down the best‑decorated dumpling place I've ever been to. It's too cute. The whole restaurant is immaculately clean and very well laid out. Service was excellent: the timing of the dishes was spot on so it never felt like we were being ambushed with everything at once. Empty plates were cleared quickly, which really helped with table space. Onto the food! We started with the Spicy Beef Shank, the waiter nicely informed us this would be served cold, which was totally ok with us and the flavor was on point! My absolute favorite dish was the Salt & Peppers Squid, very crispy and great flavor, I think I would like to kick it up and add five spice next time if thats a possibility. Jajang Noodles had a great texture, but to me it was under‑seasoned. We ended up mixing in a lot of chili oil to boost the flavor. We tried two different soup dumplings, the Spicy Pork Xiao Long Bao was well cooked with nice texture, but surprisingly mild--could use more spice given the "spicy" label. The Black Truffle Xiao Long Bao is what we came here for and it did not disappoint, amazing flavors, well executed. To cap off the meal we had the Chocolate Xiao Long Bao and it was to die for. The warm chocolate and strawberry paired perfectly with the tiramisu cream sauce. Would definitely come here again to check out some other items on the menu. My one suggestion: kick up the spice level on items that say "spicy".

Immediately greeted and seated, server was very kind and attentive. Very knowledgeable about menu items and gave great recommendations. Space is very clean, warm lighting, and nice decor. There's a clear screen between the kitchen and dining area so you can watch how they make the dumplings. The food came out pretty quickly. Everything was hot and fresh, very flavorful. The garlic noodles were so yummy! Fan favorite across the board, the garlic flavor was present but not too overpowering. And the texture was perfect too, not too soft or hard. The soup dishes were so yummy and had the perfect amount of spice. The meat in the dumplings tasted good, but the texture and look threw me off. The fried squid was delicious, so crunchy, good appetizer. The Chocolate Xiao Long Bao for dessert was the perfect way to end the meal. It had a chocolate and strawberry filling. The strawberry was a bit tart and the chocolate filling was a rich and sweet flavor. On the side was a chocolate mousse that was airy and creamy. The flavors mashed together so well, would definitely get again!

Went back to Uncle Dumpling again tonight. About the sixth time here now. Still amazing food. I cant get enough of the peach cloud. So good. The garlic noodle with beef and haw gow tonight was also amazing. We also had the cucumber salad...every time....still great. Tonight we also go a lychee tea. Tasted a but off (?) So the nice man remade it. We said it was fine but really didn't like it and I guess the could tell (cuz it was still full at the end.of the meal) and they removed it from our bill. So far we have been served by virtually different people each time there and each time the service is on point. Tonight we sat outside. Nice relaxing spot to enjoy a end of summer evening under clear skies. I love dum sum, havent found many good dumpling places in town. This is an AWESOME place.

I came here with my son and found the location easily it's right next to the massage place. As we walked up, we noticed a cozy little seating area outside, though it wasn't clear if it belonged to Uncle Dumpling. Inside, the restaurant was bustling, but the wait was surprisingly short only about 10 minutes. We checked in on the tablet by the door and waited outside until our name was called. The background music was a nice touch and helped balance out the noise from the crowd. We were seated by the window with a view of the open kitchen, where you can watch the cooks preparing everything fresh. One downside: there were a few large flies near the cooking area, which was a bit off-putting. We shared a few dishes from the menu: * A4 Crab & Pork Dumplings- Delicious and full of flavor. *B1 Pan-Fried Juicy Pork Buns- Super juicy and very tasty. *D6 Popcorn Chicken- A bit over-fried for my taste maybe it'll be better next time. *E3 Garlic Noodles- The texture was a little too soft for me, though the flavor was good. It almost felt like a dish you'd find at an Italian spot. One thing to note: they don't offer fountain drinks, which was a bit unexpected. Overall, the service was fast and the food was flavorful. Despite a few small issues, I'd definitely come back.

Craving Satisfied and Then Some! Was seriously craving dumplings on a late Sunday afternoon, and my wife--who's been here before--insisted I finally try this place. Glad I listened! We joined the Yelp waitlist before heading over and good thing we did--it was busy when we walked in, but we were seated right away. We ordered the Fried Squid, Uncle Fried Rice, Stir-Fry Green Beans, and Sesame Balls. The squid came out first with their house dipping sauce--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly done. The fried rice and green beans followed, and both were hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. The rice had just the right texture, and the green beans were a great balance of savory and crisp. To finish, the sesame balls came out warm and fresh--perfectly chewy with a light sweetness. Our server was super nice and attentive throughout the meal, and the whole place was clean, orderly, and had a comfortable vibe. Definitely recommend this spot--can't wait to come back and try more!

I was in Roseville when the dumpling craving hit. So I used Yelp to find nearby places. What da ya know, I found two dumpling places right across the street from each other. Me-nee mi-nee moe... I choose Uncle Dumpling due to no particular reason. Not a wrong choice at all. Great customer service, super cute interior, and delicious eats. To boot, the pricing was not outrageous. For the two of us, we ordered green beans, sesame balls, and chicken dumplings. The green beans were Chinese long beans wok stir fried with garlic and ground pork. Darn delicious! The beans had a nice blister to them and a freakin delicious flavor. What did they put into that sauce?!? Mmm. The sesame balls were ah-mazing as well. Luv eating them fresh n hot. Crisp exterior with a sweet bean paste interior, but not as very sweet. Bite size deliciousness. The steamed chicken dumplings had the classic look and taste. The dumpling skin had a nice thickness, not too thick or thin... just right. They provided a ginger soy dipping sauce that was divine. Great flavors going well with the dumplings. Also, they provided hot chili oil as well. Another cool thing about this place was that there is a glass viewing wall into the "dumpling making" section of the kitchen. Real human beings making dumplings the tried and true old fashion way... by hand. The staff work at a table directly facing the window so it could get a bit strange staring at folks looking at you.

Food was good overall, and the price was not bad considering the portion sizes/ingredients. Service was quick, and friendly. Ambiance was nice. Inside is a bit small, but overall was nice. Wish I would've tried more food. 5 star Beef noodle soup. Beef was tender and had. Lot of flavor. Broth tasted good. Noodles were thick like chow mein noodles. This was really good. 4 star Pork & Shrimp Wonton soup. The broth really threw me a little bit off. Tasted like miso broth. Broth really didnt go well with this soup. Noodles were thick like chow mein noodles. Wonton filling was a bit on the small side, but did taste good. 4 stars Pork & Shrimp Wonton soup. Same miso broth as the wonton noodle soup. Or at least that's what it tasted like. Again broth was a bit off. Wonton filling was a bit on the small side, but did taste good.

Our kids love coming to uncle dumplings. They have really good sautéed with pork string beans. The XLBs are good. The truffle ones are a bit overwhelming with the artificial or truffle oil scent so not a staple for us here. However the truffle angus fried rice was really good. They have a chocolate/strawberry dessert one that my lil man loves. Service is not as attentive as yang kee, but the smaller more cozy ambiance and menu options will keep us coming back.

Spicy pork xiao long bao- not that spicy, I prefer the regular one bc I am not into spicy and prefer the original flavor. Veg Dumplings - yummy Spicy beef shank - good, not that spicy Jaja mian- yum, would get again. The meat is salty but great w the noodles. Overall good for the price. Very busy.

Came here for lunch. Have an onion allergy and they were not really helpful in finding something I could eat. I ended up getting the veggie dumplings which were pretty good. Egg, mushroom, and glass noodles. But, I left pretty hungry still. Was nice you could watch them make dumplings. The place was clean and well decorated.

The best dumpling place I've ever been to. Service and food are too good to beat! The garlic noodles and popcorn chicken are to die for

Pork dumpling was delicious. Dough was a bit too thin causing the juice to leak onto the steam tray. 4/5 Pan fried pork dumplings dough was on the stick side if you love this style. 4/5 Chocolate dumplings came with side of dipping peanut sauce (?). Not sure if this was traditional but interesting. I think plain chocolate dumplings would be enough for me. 3/5 Green beans were excellent. I would recommend this dish. I think They deep fried and then water blanched. Perfect. 5/5. Service was standard and professional. Decor is dumpling house theme and modern. There was a good crowd on a weeknight. Good and hope to try more next time.

We have been going to Uncle Dumpling since it opened. They have some of the best xiaolongbao we've had. Their truffle fried rice is incredible, as is most of the food on the menu. Their service is top-notch, and it's a great place for special occasions. We are so happy they are here and will continue to visit this wonderful restaurant.

Excellent experience! Things I loved: -Very short wait time of 5-10 minutes on a Friday night despite being full and lively here. -BEST DRINKS! The Thai tornado and lychee drink were reason alone to come here. -Clean, modern restaurant -Attentive and kind customer service. They have cards on the table explaining to less experienced people like us how to properly eat a soup dumpling. -Chocolate dumplings were decadent! -Pork soup dumplings were great. Black truffle with gold flecks are good but have a prettier appearance than taste. -Loved the garlic noodles, so soft and buttery! -I wish they had more dim sum items available on their menu, but we were still very happy with what we ordered!

Had a random craving for soup dumplings and figured we would try this place! Was going to get the original xiao long baos but decided to go for truffle. I could actually taste the truffle and it was very flavorful, it was delicious. Got the Cucumber salad (not pictured), which was a refreshing appetizer. Lastly, simple uncle fried rice because a toddler loves rice hahah. it was good, simple, our son approved! overall service was good and quick! provided high chair and a bowl for our son. small and clean location. would come back if ever around the area!

Went a little after 12 on a Sunday and no wait for 2 people Inside it was so cool watching the dumplings being made while you wait for your food! Service was great and my water glass never was empty Onto the food: B3.Scallion Pancake (4/5) crispy and light. Dipped in into the hot chili oil A1. Pork Xiao Long Bao (5/5) tender and juicy! Make you use the vinegar and ginger dipping sauce D5.Spicy Wonton (10/5) my favorite! The flavor was amazing and it wasn't too spicy. I used the hot chili oil on everything A6. Chocolate Xiao Long Bao (5/5) a must to finish off your meal. Only thing is, I wish it was condensed milk or whipped cream dipping B1. Pan Fried Juicy Pork Bun (4/5) same filling as xiao long boa. Very juicy. V2.Stir-fry Green Bean (5/5). Great freshness to the meal. Just know ground pork comes in the dish Can't wait to go back and try so much more !

Was in the area with friends and decided to try Uncle Dumpling and glad we did! Dumplings made fresh and you can tell. We called prior since there was 11 of us and they accommodated all of us. We got seated right when we entered and were greeted kindly. The servers were quick and polite. The space is about normal size. Food: A1. Pork Xiao Long Bao (5/5) - fresh and flavorful A2. Spicy Pork Xiao Long Bao (4.5/5) - same as A1 but just not as spicy unless you eat the chilis A5. Truffle Berkshire Xiao Long Bao (6/5) - great concept and a must try E6. Truffle Angus Beef Fried Rice (7/5) - an item you can't skip you must get this V2. Stir-fry Green Bean (5/5) - fresh and a great crunch S1. Pork & Shrimp Wonton Soup (4/5) - broth and wonton is great during cold weather but nothing special B1. Pan Fried Juicy Pork Bun (5/5) - eat with caution and eat like XLB, will be super hot if you don't let it air out. D1. Cucumber Salad (3/5) - super fresh BUT the chili oil didn't stick to the cucumber well so just tasted like regular cucumber A6. Chocolate Xiao Long Bao (6/5) - great way to end the meal. Taste like a Nutella dumpling and it was so good

The partner and I were originally planning to go to Yang Kee but saw this place had a way shorter wait. Glad we went here, the parking lot is a little tucked away and the restaurant is somewhat small, but it's well lit and service is pretty fast. While you wait for your food you can see the kitchen staff endlessly pumping out dumplings. The green beans were very tasty without being overwhelmingly porky, they could have been slightly crisper. The spicy wontons were nice and juicy and the chili oil had a decent amount of heat. The skins were thin and not super doughy. The XLB were also very good. Juicy, flavorful, and well seasoned. The pleated top wasn't thick and doughy and the skins overall remained intact - I think we only had one tear when we picked them up. Overall, very good experience here. The food was very solid, something I wasn't really expecting for the area. Would definitely come back again!

Cute little dumpling house! The place is very small but the wait wasn't too bad. We joined the waitlist and only waited 15 minutes to be seated. The XLB was very good! The skin was thin and the soup was very flavorful. The cucumber salad was okay. It was a bit too sweet for me. The Shanghai noodle was okay. The flavor was good but I was expecting thinner noodles. Overall a great dining experience.

I was really craving beef noodle soup and oh boy did this hit the spot. The broth was flavorful, the beef tender and the noodles were nice and chewy. They also have chili oil, it is slightly sweeter than expected but it still had a nice flavor and with a small kick of heat. The shrimp and pork XLB was juicy with thin dumpling skin. My family and I were quickly seated and our food came out at a reasonable time. It's a relatively small restaurant that is kind of hidden in a corner of the complex, but it's clean with nice vibey decor.

Service was excellent. The waiters were very attentive and always checking in to make sure waters were full and we were happy with our orders. We ordered the pork xiao long bao, spicy chili wonton, cucumber salad, and medium beef noodle soup. Pork xiao long bao was moist and the wrap was the perfect consistency (not too thick or too thin). The soup inside tasted clean and not too porky, but there are other places that I prefer more. Spicy chili wontons were probably some of the best that I've had in terms of flavor but it wasn't the type of spicy that kicks you in the face or lingers the way you expect Asian spicy too. Cucumber salad was amazing! Refreshing, sweet, and tangy! The medium beef noodle soup was probably my least favorite dish. I'm not partial to lo mein noodles and there was not even a hint of spice at all for a medium spicy dish. The broth was very clean though, not oily at all, and the beef was very tender. Overall 8/10 experience. I would come back if I was in the area and craving some dumplings!

We were looking for a dumpling spot for lunch and decided to try this place since we were in Roseville. There's free parking, which is convenient, and the area has plenty of other eateries nearby. When we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly server and seated right away. It's a fairly small place, and the prices are reasonable for the portion sizes. The menu wasn't extensive, especially if you're looking for non-pork options like we were. However, the staff was accommodating and offered us non-pork options for rice and chow mein that weren't on the menu. The food arrived hot and fresh. The rice was excellent--I probably ate more than I should have! The dumplings were solid, though I wouldn't get the scallion pancake again. It was a bit greasy and lacked flavor, but I imagine sticking to the dumplings is the way to go here. Overall, this is a good casual spot if you're craving dumplings and are in the area.

This place is so good!! They make the dumplings fresh right in front of you. So good! Everything we ordered was fresh and hot. The service was attentive and friendly. Such a cute spot! They also have a few tables for outdoor seating. To be honest they need a bigger location. This is my new favorite dumpling house. Their strawberry creme cloud and mango crème cloud with the cheese foam topping is out of this world. I will definitely be back!!

It's a 3.6 for me... PORTIONS: filling and hearty PRICE: appropriate SERVICE: table side, fast AMBIANCE: clean and small, patio seating available with heaters FLAVORS: A1. Pork Xiao Long Bao (5/5 ) - the star of the show D2. Fungus Salad (4/5 ) - hit or miss depending if they use enough garlic and vinegar E1. Beef Soup Noodle (1/5 ) - no flavor! Just heat, skip it D6.Popcorn Chicken (3/5 ) - juicy, hot, crispy but missing flavor and the coating is not right? B1. Pan Fried Juicy Pork Bun (6pcs) - (4/5 ) dough was a little thick but still so good! B2. Pork Potstickers (8pcs) - (4/5 ) - the skirt was off a little but overall still tasty! Mango Cloud (4/5 ) - nice little sweet treat BONUS TIP: parking is private shared lot, use the yelp waitlist! Super helpful!

The food here was fantastic and very quick service. The combination of the garlic noodles and the stir fry green beans was fire...and I don't even like green beans!

Your typical hand wrapped dumpling place where you can expect the same menu items and that window where you can watch them wrap your dumplings. The place is not too big, but they had fast turnover. I think this is also the reason why our food came out super fast, a little sloppy, and most importantly a little undercooked. The green beans were still a little raw and some of the dumplings were still dripping red (should be brown/clear if cooked thoroughly). I think most of the items tasted okay, but not a big fan as I've definitely had better. The XLB wrap could be better. I feel for the Roseville area this is probably acceptable but you should venture out to other cities if you are looking for some real good dumplings.

This place was soooo cute and fun. I loved the decor. The wait was about 40 minutes for us so I recommend jumping in line on yelp beforehand. The Jajang Noodles were delicious and if you add the vinegar to it it's *chef's kiss* I hope I spelled that right lol The green beans were also delicious and the toppings and juices from them really blended nicely with the noodles. My fav thing was the noodle texture. It truly hits the spot if you're craving noodles! We had the recommended soup dumplings and the pan fried juicy pork buns but I'm not sure why they were lacking flavor for us. We also had their smoothie drinks strawberry and mango and those were A1! Overall definitely would come back but maybe to take out instead!

Super impressed by the quality and flavor because let's be honest, Roseville isn't exactly the first place you think of for authentic dumplings. There was sooo much soup inside the dumplings, I could drink the broth forever! The crab and pork XLBs blew us away with how much crab flavor emanated from it. I also LUUURVE their Shanghai chow mein! It's the perfect chow mein for me--thick bouncy noodles, savory with a hint of sweetness, and the fresh vegetables still retained their bite. My least favorite was their stir-fried garlic green beans (which is saying a lot because that was still really good LOL) We felt like maybe there wasn't an ABUNDANCE of garlic or maybe the garlic wasn't cooked enough? Nevertheless, it was still good and that's probably the only thing I wouldn't rate 5/5 from our meal

We've REALLY enjoyed visiting Uncle Dumpling. We moved to the Sacramento area about two years ago and have been disappointed with the Chinese and Taiwanese food scene. Well, Asian cuisine in general, to be honest. Our friends took us to Uncle Dumpling once it opened and we were pleasantly surprised, and have since come back to dine in. Service has always been friendly and fast. Food is always delicious. Some favorites we've ordered and would recommend: - Any of the XLB (we liked pork and crab/pork) - Shanghai chow mein - Truffle Angus beef fried rice - any of the vegetables (e.g. green beans, pea shoots, bok choy) - fried chicken wings

This is my second visit to Uncle Dumpling and I love it here, I travel from Reno and it's always a stop when I am in the area. It's always so good and i can't wait for my next visit

Great food! Excellent service. Authentic and perfect food for the soul.. It's our 1000th time there

The food was superb! The pan fried scallion cake was so crispy and flaky. The green beans were super tasty. The pork xiao long bao was flavorful and filled with lots of soup. Beef noodle soup was also good, I expected it to be more spicy and rich in flavor but still amazing! The service was fast and efficient. They were super friendly as well! The inside is very modern and clean. Pleasantly welcoming.

Chill ambiance with good food! Worth it to check out your local dumpling restaurant. :)

Took myself to lunch last week and unfortunately this place was not as good as it once was when I first came. I was seated quickly, friendly servers. The garlic noodles were a bit lumpy and doughy, not much flavor either. Which was unfortunate. The cucumber salad appetizer was ok, not spicy at all. Which it is listed as spicy on the menu. I also ordered the pork soup dumplings which I think they forgot to make until the end. It took about 40 minutes to get my dumplings out. I was only able to eat 2 before having to pack up and head back to work. All in all, I think this will be my last visit here. Best wishes

The service was excellent it was really busy as soon as they opened. I got the Shanghai chow mein and fried rice as well as the Nutella with strawberry dumplings that are so GOOOD!

My parents were in town visiting and my dad is the biggest fan of Journey to the Dumpling and since we were in the Roseville area, I suggested Uncle Dumpling since I've wanted to try it. For appetizers, we ordered the cucumber salad and spicy beef shank. I preferred the beef shank; I thought it was very flavorful with the spicy sauce, The cucumber salad was okay although I thought the texture of the cucumber was a little weird; it was both soft and crunchy. We also ordered the crab and pork soup dumplings, pork potstickers, and pan-fried pork buns. My favorites of the three were the soup dumplings and potstickers. Service was generally okay, except the pan-fried pork buns took WAY longer than all our other dishes.

Food: 5/5 Drinks: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Seating: 3/5 Parking: 5/5 Uncle Dumpling is my favorite Soup Dumpling spot in all of the Sacramento area. When you turn into the plaza it looks inconspicuous and almost like you're turning into an apartment complex and that's because it's the backside of the shopping plaza. There is lots of free parking in the large, public parking lot. Walking up to the restaurant, you'll see other stores and the big courtyard with trees makes this a cozy spot to bring friends or family. There's outdoor seating in the front too. We came in October, at 4:30pm on a Saturday right when it reopened from lunch break and we were immediately sat down. This spot does become busy and was full within 20 minutes so come early or expect a wait. The customer service was fantastic: friendly and quick, and our waitress checked on us occasionally and the food came out in a timely manner. The ambiance is great for friends and family. It was cool and conditioned inside, though you could opt to sit outside if the weather permits. The noise wasn't too loud and they have large glass windows looking into the kitchen so you can watch your dumplings being made! The seating was standard wooden chairs, very sturdy but hard so can get tiring to sit for long periods of time. Now the food, I cannot rave about it enough. I love the soup dumplings (xiao long bao) so much, highly recommend trying the Truffle Berkshire one! It's got a good amount of soup and pork ratio. It comes with a ginger + red vinegar sauce and you can add more chili oil, vinegar, or soy sauce at your table. We also ordered the Spicy Wonton which personally I did not find too spicy. The Pan Fried Pork Popstickers is my favorite appetizer, they fry the bottom so it's very crispy, definitely recommend. For dessert we had to order the Chocolate Xiao Long Bao which is a lot smaller than the normal soup dumplings but just as tasty. Perfectly bite-sized, these mini dumplings are taste like warm chocolate pudding exploding in your mouth. For drinks I personally ordered and tried the Summer Lychee Fruit Tea which was great. It had bits of blended lychee and was refreshing. There was boba which personally I felt wasn't cooked perfectly, next time I would ask for no boba. Overall, great drinks! I have been here five times now and the excellent food and customer service has been consistent. I will continue to return here, I hope you can visit some time too!

This is my new favorite "dim sum like" restaurant in the Sacramento area. The restaurant is located in a small plaza near the Roseville Galleria. I would say this is the closest to Din Tai Fung (taste-wise) in Sacramento. The portion sizes are very generous and the staff are very friendly. We went on a weekday for lunch and there was no wait. Parking was easy to find. Seating inside is a bit limited. There were some tables outdoors but unsure if they are reserved for the restaurant. My favorite dish here was the Pan Fried Pork Buns. It was very juicy and flavorful. The Pork Xiao Long Baos were about 50% bigger than most other places in Sacramento and were as equally juicy and flavorful as the Pan Fried Buns. The Spicy Wontons had a nice sweet chili flavor with a nice little kick to it. The Beef Noodle Soup had a light broth and a light numbing spiciness to it. I definitely recommend and will be coming back soon!

Fast and friendly service. Nice option to sit outside on a lovely day when it was really hoppin' inside. We got the cucumber salad, pork and crab XLB, pan fried pork buns and fried squid, plus a fruity tea and a Sapporo. All was good but the pork buns were our hands down favorite. So flavorful! Will return to try the pork XLB and spicy wontons (the latter were our server's favorite dish there, which I didn't ask until I was paying the bill - next time!).
