Dough Zone

Wonderful dumpling 🥟 spot, reminds me a lot of some of the soup dumpling 汤包 spots in Beijing. Spent about $25 per person, that's with each person getting one bowl of Dan Dan mian, and five types of dumplings for table to split. My favorites are anything white chicken or shrimp. Definitely tried some of their "featured" bao. Every bite is flavorful, well seasoned, and perfect texture. Most of the sides come in 4's or 6's (it'll tell you on the menu) so easy to split at our table and try a little of everything. They have paper menus to write down the quantity of food items you want. Great staff, polite, and attentive to drink refills. No wait for lunch. Will definitely be coming back.

Are you thinking about it? Do you wonder if it’s worth a meal here? Girl, yes. At least once! Although I’m not a regular here, I want to be. Place is cozy and small with gimmicky decor. I like it, Picasso. My meals here usually always at least consist of the sour and sweet cucumber (makes ur mouth water, but cut very inefficiently pretty), (always 2 orders of) pork soup dumplings, Dan Dan noodles, and the pan fried baos. Every now and then, I order the pig ears, but this dish’s portions are ridiculously massive for two people so I only order it in bigger groups. Recently, I tried their passion fruit green tea and it was DELICIOUS. It’s relatively pricey since my typical order runs me about 60ish dollars for two, so it’s my every now and then go to restaurant. The one thing is that the Dan Dan noodles, although absolutely gobsmacking, is in my opinion an alright dish compared to other restaurants. In the process of eating it? Good, great, fantastic even. The Szechuan peppercorn after tingle? Alright. The weird chemical taste of spice? Tolerably ok. This shouldn’t stop you from ordering the Dan Dan noodles though, it’s an experience.

I wanted to give them 2 when I got my cucumber salad and A-Choy. I compared with Din thai fung and definitely their cucumber salad is much better. The dumplings and Wonton and xia long bao was so good. no complain! Overall for this price point I am satisfied Noodle was 3/5 Bewf sandwich was 2/5 Appetizers were bad but dumplings awesome for this price Service was good they are fast. Not busy on Sunday All food in the picture was 52$

First time trying dough zone. We went pretty late, right before they closed, so there was no wait time or anything. We were seated right away, ordered, and the food came out very quickly, so I was happy with the service! We ordered the beef noodle soup, pork noodles, and pork soup dumplings. As a Chinese person, I can say with confidence that the pork noodles were amazing! The portion sizes are pretty small but that's also why they're pretty cheap. The soup dumplings weren't the best I've ever had, but they were good enough that I'll definitely order them next time. The highlight of the beef noodle soup was the tender beef and the doughy noodles. No wonder they're called dough zone, the dough based foods are chewy and delicious. Obviously it's not the best Chinese I've ever had, but it's fast, it's in a great location, and the flavors are relatively authentic. I'll be coming here again when I'm missing a small taste of china.
