    We really enjoyed the patio until it got cold. Heaters would have been perfect. The food was great but we had to continuously flag down out server or go inside to ask for service.

    Fun place for dumplings but not many vegetarian dumpling choices. Very loud and has a sports bar vibe.

    Service was very fast. The menu at this location is limited, even on a non game day. The food came out quickly and was hot and correct. It is a very loud location and a bit tough for conversation at times.

    Yank Sing closed in Mon. so tried Dumpling Time outside the Astros stadium. Very nice ambience though tables a little small for all the lates we wanted to try. Service was a bit slow to start due to staffing shortage but they were working hard. Must try the lamb dumplings- unique & tasty with strong cumin flavors. Soup dumplings served in tiny tin cups would be better served on wide Chinese soup spoons. Everything was delicious!

    Went before a concert, so they were really busy. The food was okay, nothing too amazing but it was okay. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the bartender. There are better dumpling options, but the local is convenient.

    We had to wait a while to be seated. It turned out that there were only two employees that afternoon. One of them was rushing around waiting tables. She must have had some sort of superpower because our food was served timely.

    Our server only came to our table to take our order and drop the check. At no point during our meal did she ask if we needed another round of drinks, were we happy with the food...nothing. We had to flag her down if we needed anything, even though the restaurant was empty.

    Kwon was an amazing ambassador of your establishment. He went above and beyond. He explained all the dishes served and pulled another table beside us due to the volume of food we had on the table to available space. He ensure we were happy with the food and possess excellent table side manners. Thank you, Kwon for making it a memorable experience. Hope to see you again soon.

    The food was very good, not terribly creative. Drinks were surprisingly good, compared to the food. Outside is COLD. There are no heat lamps and is crazy windy and all tables are in the shade. Service was far below average. We were constantly asking for things. We drove about 45 minutes to try this out because we could bring our dog. We won’t make the trip again, but it was fine.

    Second time I been here, food is awesome, clean and fun! Great menu selection, staff is friendly and helpful. I dinged the service this time around because I just arrived and although my friend was there before me, the moment I sat I was already asked what we would like to order. I’m sure the server meant well but he circled back every little bit too frequently without allowing me to take a look at the options. Im sure it’s a one off situation.

    We enjoyed our time at Dumpling Time during the Warriors watch party. We sat on the patio and were fully entertained, watched the game on the big screen and took part in all the fun. Our server Travis was amazing especially given the crowd and spectacle. Everything we ordered from drinks to food was delicious. Highly recommend!

    The food was good but expensive and their dishes are very small portions..especially the noodles and rice dishes.. charging almost 20$.. rice and noodles are very cheap.. they should make their portions bigger. I spend 350$ for 5 people..not worth the value.

    Host and hostess very welcoming and efficient even in a very crowded night. Food was great quality and the service was fast. We've been here several times and the service and fix quality has been consistent. Siu mai and har gow are so fresh. Edamame and green beans really good. I'd highly recommend
