Reviews for Dumpling Express in Berkeley, CA
I got the pork dumplings with cabbage and they were amazing! Simple but nonetheless very tasty. Also super friendly staff!
I had the Hong Kong style fried rice and it was amazing; perfectly fried chicken, right amount of ingredients and good quantity... for the price. One of the best fried rice dishes I've had in the Berkeley. Its a small restaurant, not much of an ambience andfrom the looks of it, less hygienic than usual. But the food seems to be delicious. College crowd is common. Read more
Great food and reasonable price! The soup dumplings is so juicy, the free bun that came with the dumplings order is so soft. The... bean curd pork noodle is made of wonton noodles, what an amazing combination. You can see timer set for each order so eachorder are cooked just right. No tips needed, really an awesome, honest shop with great food! Read more
The dumplings is pretty good and you can see they are making it fresh right there. That is the only thing I would order from... this restaurant. I tried their rice dishes too but found that it is over seasoned and a bit hard for me to finish the dish. Theplace is pretty busy though as there are quite a few Asian students in UCB. There are some seats but not many. Also the cashieris not very friendly. In short, I would only go there when I have a hankering for dumplings. Read more
Dumplings are perfect. But the kung pao chicken rice is a little too salty.
We had the soup dumplings, shrimp har gao, kim chee dumplings, some rice and steamed mushroom and egg custard buns. All were... good. The kim chee dumplings were maybe a little under steamed, but still wonderful. Fully cooked on the inside they just seemedlike the noodle outside could use a touch more cooking. Food wise I loved it. Seating was a problem though as it is very limitedand they didn't have a restroom on-site. Read more
The Dumplings are delicious and the price is great. I got the daily special for $6. However, I usually eat a tiny breakfast and... a big lunch and the portion wasn't quite big enough for me. Next time I'll probably order two items. Absolutely deliciousthough. Read more
I have given 5 stars to only five restaurants on Planet Earth in my long life. They are in Barcelona, San Francisco, Santa... Barbara, London, Porto . . .and, now, in Berkeley! I never dreamed a "fast-food" kitchen might earn that distinction, but thefolks at Dumpling Express on Bowditch make exquisitely tasty, joyously fresh dumplings. I'm guessing you'll agree :-) Read more
