About This Spot

Step inside Dumpling King, and you’re greeted by a quietly bustling neighborhood gem tucked away on Lamar Boulevard. The space hums with a comfortable warmth, where the soft murmur of conversation blends with the rhythmic dance of steam rising from bamboo baskets. It’s the kind of place where time feels a little more relaxed, inviting you to slow down and savor small moments alongside each bite.

The pace here is unhurried yet lively enough to keep the energy fresh — a crossroads for those who appreciate authenticity in their meals without the fuss. Whether seated at a cozy corner table or grabbing dumplings to-go, there’s an intimate familiarity in the air that feels like a shared secret among regulars and newcomers alike.

The food at Dumpling King unfolds as a story told through handmade dumplings and thoughtful flavors. Each bite offers a gentle warmth — from soup dumplings that cradle rich broth in delicate skins, to vibrant dim sum that strikes just the right balance between tradition and bright innovation. This is a place where familiar comfort foods meet subtle surprises, like the crispness of a newly introduced crispy RouGaMo or the herbaceous notes of a carefully brewed tea.

Beyond just taste, the whole experience is grounded in freshness and care. Flavors come through with clarity and purpose, whether it’s in a comforting bowl of beef noodles or a plate of tender pork dumplings. The atmosphere, much like the menu, feels genuine — crafting moments where the food nurtures and connects rather than overwhelms.

Part of Dumpling King’s charm is its approachability. Orders glide in smoothly, whether by digital menu at the table or a quick stop at the counter, reinforcing the blend of modern convenience and homestyle eating. And while the dining room holds its own quiet energy, many have found comfort in the consistent quality of takeout, keeping the magic alive even beyond the walls of the restaurant.

For those drawn to places where food is a quietly celebrated craft and atmosphere leans toward warm practicality, Dumpling King offers a subtle yet satisfying invitation to discover a local favorite through rich flavors and shared human moments.

Love this place, probably one of the very few best handmade dumplings in Austin. Every time we come here, we always order dumpling to go . BTW, they added new menu: crispy RouGaMo which is marinated meat in crispy bun. It’s 5 star taste! The vegan dumplings are super delicious too! Highly recommended!

My favorite was their chef recommendation pork dish, but the dumplings weren't my favorite, but it's probably just me as I am not used to it. The fried dumping was more pan fried, and I was expecting deep fried. Overall, it was a good experience. The herbal tea was amazing.

I absolutely ADORE this place. I always get delivery, so I can’t speak to the service or atmosphere, but the food it absolutely phenomenal. The first time I ordered I got the shrimp and pork dumplings (fried) and the hot and sour soup. Both were SO GOOD I ordered again. This time I got hot and sour soup (obviously a favorite, the mushrooms in there are so good), the lamb dumplings which had a lovely flavor with the lamb being present and noticeable but not overpowering, and the hot and spicy beef noodle soup which is possibly one of my favorite soups of all time. The packaging was amazing and kept the broth and beef from the noodles and bok choy so it was PERFECT when I was able to combine them. Beef is incredibly tender and the flavor is fabulous. I wish I had an option to add the mushrooms to this because it would be phenomenal. I saw some people complaining about the spice level of this soup and I think they’re maybe just not used to ANY spice because I found it quite mild. I think this soup would cure me if I was ill actually. I will never stop ordering from here.

Dumplin King is an absolute gem! Every time I’ve been there, the food has blown me away with its freshness and flavor. I’ve tried the beef noodle soup, which was incredibly delicious and comforting, and the shrimp dumplings were simply out of this world—so flavorful and perfectly made! My friend had the shrimp fried rice, and it was equally impressive. One thing I really appreciate is that their food feels so clean and fresh. I usually have reactions to MSG when eating out at Asian restaurants, but I had no issues here, which speaks to the quality of their ingredients. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. I’m surprised it’s not busier because the food and experience are phenomenal. I highly recommend Dumplin’ King to anyone looking for amazing Asian cuisine. You won’t be disappointed!

Awesome dumpling spot. Menu is digital at the table but the wait staff will eventually visit your table and hand you hard printed menu’s. You order on the digital menu u or walk up to the front counter and order. The beef soup is fantastic and full of flavor as well as dumplings. Fanta soda we ordered was a bit flat and the water has a unique taste to it which is not the norm. Plenty of seating and overall clean establishment.

the food was great. I had dumplings with shrimp, bao and sweet and sour cucumbers.

Despite the name, this restaurant has more than dumplings, and they have fewer dumpling types that I had expected. The food is good, but not great, but the restaurant is clean and a nice place to hang out. The secret sauce healthy fungus is probably my favorite dish here. They have another dish called celery peanuts, that is pretty self-explanatory. I have never had it, but I’m so curious. Unlike a lot of Asian restaurants, their menu is not so big that it takes an hour to go through and decide. I prefer this.

We ordered Pot Pork, chicken soup and lamb dumplings. All were fresh and delicious. Will be coming back for sure.
