Dumpling Era in San Bruno

Ordered hot and spicy pork noodles - delicious, tasty but not at all spicy. Despite no heat, taste was very good - noodles were perfectly cooked, veggies were bursting with crunch and taste and pork was done well too and did I mention not spicy!! I also ordered the shrimp pork dumplings- spectacularly fresh! The place was packed on the night I dined in - indicative of its popularity! Only regret is that I didn’t have a bigger crowd with me to sample more of the menu!

Delicious dumplings and green beans. Homemade hot sauce is spicy and yummy. Id get delivery or take out like everyone else, the place lacks ambiance but maybe it could be part of a charming experience.

A pretty generic dumplings spot, it does feel like a hole in the wall and a bit cramped. they do have vinegar which is nice but the flavor of inside the dumpling was forgettable and too expensive

Had lunch here. Food was pretty good. Had the Lamb Knife-Cut Noodles (good flavor), Beijing Style Bean Paste Noodles w/ Pork (very mild flavor), Pork and Lamb Dumplings (both were tasty & juicy), Spicy Beef Tendons (nice spicy flavor).Highlight for me were the dumplings--skins had a great chewy texture without being overly thick. Noodles were a bit too soft for my taste.There was a slight glitch--the outsides of the Steamed Egg Yolk Buns were tough while centers were still cold--guessing they were frozen & were just microwaved. There were only four buns, instead of six as indicated on the menus. And there was some sort of confusion, as the waitress kept insisting these were Cream Custard Buns instead.

Dumplings are pretty good, and the pea shoots vegetables were delicious

The food is- to say the least, delicious. The dumplings take 3-4 minutes and come out hot and juicy. Everything is handmade and they have frozen dumplings for sale as well. This is the perfect place for when you’re craving good and home-y dumplings, and it’s cheap! The location could be called unwelcoming but to me and my family the atmosphere reminds us of home.

Friendly staff. Great food at a fair price.

Very tasty home style Northern Chinese food (I think Hebei region cuisine?). Everything is simple but tasty and well executed. They also make their own dumplings in house, fresh and tasty!The spicy crispy tofu is genuinely crispy. The pieces didnt get soggy at all over the course of the meal, which I have experienced at other places. They were nice and golden with a spicy kick.The tomato and egg noodle soup was really flavorful. I didnt expect something so simple to have so much flavor. They make their own noodles, which were nice and thick with a delightfully chewy texture. I had fun chewing on them 😀Spicy sesame paste cold noodles were good, definitely spicy. I would prefer if they could put more sesame paste in the dish though, I barely tasted the sesame flavor with all the spices.We got the pork with napa cabbage dumplings. They were fresh, tasty, with a good amount of meat in them.Everything is reasonably priced 👍All in all, very tasty place and good for the value. Will be back!

Everything we have tried here has been DELICIOUS! The spicy fried tofu is hands down the best tofu I’ve ever had. Today I was feeling a bit under the weather so I ordered the wonton noodle soup. I added their hot sauce and a little soy sauce, it was the freshest noodle/wonton soup I’ve had to date. The mushrooms were also a delightful surprise!

Dine in is much better than take out if you want to experience chewy fresh texture of dumplings. I love their spicy wonton and sweet and sour soup. The chive shrimp dumpling and chicken fried rice are also great too. Tea was super hot. I wish they have sesame oil on the table to go along with dumplings. Their house spicy sauce has nice bean paste taste and kicks.
