Dumpling Shack

Our family of three has been eating here once a week (if not twice!) since they opened. The staff are incredibly welcoming and always attentive. We usually order the same things: Beef Stir Fried Udon, Soup Dumplings, Steamed Jumbo Shrimp, and Pork Chop Fried Rice. Sometimes, we will order one extra thing from the menu so we can try something new. This last time we tried the Black Golden Egg Custard Buns. The custard was warm and sweet, while the outer bun was soft and so enjoyable. I'm excited to add it to our "usual" order. Let's keep this amazing business in Moorpark!

My wife and I had our first experience at the restaurant, and it was outstanding! The bill was very reasonable for the exceptional quality of the dishes, and the portions were just a touch larger than average. This is why we believe they deserve a solid five-star rating: We tried the Black Golden Egg Custard Buns (3), pork dumplings filled with napa cabbage and carrots, and the Chicken Stir-Fried Udon. Based on this delightful meal, we’re excited to return as loyal customers. An essential detail: everything is made fresh on-site. We were impressed to see the staff skillfully making the dumplings under the watchful eye of an experienced chef.

The Cavewoman had heard good things about this new modern-style Dim Sum house in nearby Moorpark. Since it doesn’t take much, if any, coaxing to get me to go for these delicious dumpling delights, we went last night. We arrived right at the dinner hour and found ourselves a bit down the waitlist. Though, it went fairly quick and we were seated about 15 minutes later. The menu offered most of the usual Dim Sum suspects, along with a variety of noodle and rice dishes. We opted for the Vegetable Spring Rolls, Steamed Pork Ribs, Sticky Rice, Shumai, Vegetable Buns, and Fried Sweet Potato Taro Balls. My wife added the Peach Green Tea while I chose the Tropical Fruit Tea. Everything was amazing! Starting from the top, both the Spring Rolls and the Ribs may have been the best I’ve ever had. The Spring Rolls were crunchy and filled with a delicious vegetable filling that was crazy good, while the ribs were meaty, tender, and steamed in a world-class broth. The Sticky Rice was wrapped in a banana leaf, cooked perfectly, and had plenty of tasty pork filling. The Shumai may have been my favorite and is definitely the finest I’ve ever tried. I’m not usually a Chinese Bun fan. But, my veggie wife wanted to try them and I was pleasantly surprised. The Sweet Potato Balls were a great capper for the meal. While both teas were so refreshing and had the best Boba I have ever experienced. The restaurant has the open feel of a traditional Dim Sum house, and though they don’t have the rolling carts full of steaming dishes, they do offer the same ambiance with all the controlled pandemonium and customer chatter filling the room. I wouldn’t call this place cheap. But, it’ll rival anything you can find in Monterey Park or Chinatown, without the hassle of driving there. Highly recommend!

First time at dumpling shack. We liked the tempura and loved the Boba Drinks. The popcorn chicken was delish with sauce. The service was friendly and attentive. The restaurant was roomy, bright and clean.

After waiting such a long time, my partner and I finally got to visit dumpling shack and it did not disappoint at all!! We went around 3:30pm which was a perfect time since it wasn’t packed and we got greeted by a friendly employee as soon as we walked in! We got the menu, ordered, and received our food very fast! We ordered the pork xiao long bao, spicy shrimp and pork wontons, shrimp fried rice, and the shrimp & pork pan fried dumplings (not pictured). We enjoyed every single item we ordered, there was so much flavor and everything tasted amazing I would give it a solid rating of 9.5/10 and if I’m being honest I’d pick this place over din tai fung any day especially since it’s more of a close & convenient drive than going all the way out to LA for some delicious food! 🤩🤤
