★★★★☆ 4.0 Sneha Rao · Feb 2026

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! The food was just phenomenal!! The soup dumplings, hot, slurpy and delicious!! We were a group of 6 and were able to try all of their soup dumplings and we loved each of them. The bao buns were fun too. The steamed dumplings though, could NOT hold a candle to the soup dumplings, so dull in comparison to the wonderful soup dumplings. We tried a couple of their noodle offerings and enjoyed those too. The stir fried noodles were especially delicious, we liked it better than the dan dan noodles, which were also good, but we simply enjoyed the stir fried noodles better. Chicken karaage was crispy on the outside and so beautifully tender on the inside. The cucumber in chili oil and the green beans are an absolute must here... So delectable!! So so YUMMY 😋 I write this review

I ate at Zin Dumpling and had a great experience. My server, Andrew, was really nice, courteous, attentive without being overbearing, and very knowledgeable about the menu. The food was really good. I didn’t love the truffle dish, but that’s only because I’m not a fan of mushrooms, if you like mushrooms, it would actually be very good. The spicy cucumber was tasty, though not very spicy for me. The green tea was amazing, and the pan-fried bao dumplings were really good; I’d never had them before and really enjoyed them. Overall, a great experience and I’d definitely come back.

This is located in the shopping center area so plenty of parking. My boyfriend and I went and put our names on the waitlist (they were very busy which is always a good sign)- it’s efficient, you get a text & and we were sat in under 20 minutes - it was so worth it! You see the open kitchen area with them hand making some of the items. Everything was so delicious! Don’t overlook the cucumber salad, green beans or scallion pancakes- crispy bites but simple flavorful dishes. The soup dumpling sampler was great to try all the kinds they have & the broth and meats inside them are literally hot & comforting with a good chew in the dough. The signature pan fried bao buns (light and airy with savory meat filling), pork belly bao buns (meat was tender and tasty) and Shanghai pan fried dumplings we

★★★★☆ 4.0 Sheila C. · Feb 2026

It was my first time at Zen dumpling today. The restaurant smelled like delicious food when you walk in. The bathroom also has a very pleasant smell. The food is delicious, my favorites were the truffle dumplings, the green beans and the Mongolian beef. I can’t handle a lot of spice and would next time ask them to tone down the spice of the Mongolian beef. Either way it was delicious. I loved the way your order, they give you a paper menu and you write how many of the items you want. The portions are very generous and made to be shared. I loved the chopsticks they provided and we also got cheater chop holders since we had a someone who couldn’t figure out the chopstick situation. I would dine here again and try new items

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Aura M. Cisneros · Dec 2025

We ordered dumplings take out before but this is our first time here for dining. They do not makevreservations and waiting time passed 30 minutes. Too crowded. Too much noise. Not a good choice if looking for a place to chat. The vibe is more like a fast food. They rushed the food and served it with no order. My apetizer was the last! The staff seems rushed, confused, upset when being asked about the plates and drinks. They do not have sweet tea. We received the bill while still eating nor being asked for dessert or a box to go since we were kicked out. The only female bathroom was dirty and needing some repair due to leaking. The tables are not wiped out between customers thus it is a concern about hygiene overall. The food is good and tasty, has good presentation but meat scarce, no glut
