Shandong Dumplings

Zero star for sure. I ordered the dried shrimp eggs and leek dumplings. However, there is hair on my food and the dumpling actually has pork instead of eggs. I placed the meatless order while repeating that I want the ones without meat. I dont eat pork！ This is rediculous.

Excellent food, helpful employees, consistently fantastic mood. They charge reasonable pricing and the food quality is awesome. 5 stars.

I absolutely love this place. The fennel and lamb dumplings, or pork and leek dumplings are fantastic. The pan fried buns also have great filling and texture.I know it's a small thing, but the vinegar, soy sauce, and chili are also great. I studied abroad in China and this place reminds me of time there.

3.5 stars. Pretty solid dumpling place in Pasadena area. Took awhile for the food to come out though. Got our first dish after 25 min. Loved the beef noodle. Not what I expected at all, but it had very fragrant chili oil. If you don't like oily food, stay away though. Both dumplings and pan fried buns were pretty good, but I just wish there were more fillings. Beef wrap was big but a bit dry.

Better than I expected, given the look of the place. Dumplings had good flavor. A touch too doughy, but still within a good range of density. Excellent spicy beef and noodle soup. Seems pretty authentic in terms of flavor and overall atmosphere. Service was a bit on the rough side, but that is also authentic.

This place is the one I like best. I visit many restaurants but here I keep coming back again and again. The crew is very attentive and the cuisine they offer is so flavorful. I would always prefer to have a decent meal in this restaurant. I recommend this place with pleasure.

Spicy pork dumplings are bite sized pieces of heaven

Really delicious dumplings and noodles at a nice mom and pop restaurant. Always calm and never a line or a wait. Service is super nice and quick!

After visiting China and coming to Shandong Dumplings, I have decided it is the closest culinary experience I will find in Pasadena to being in China. The decorum, the people, and the flavors allow me to revisit my wonderful experience in China at my leisure. What a great place.

Great spot for dumplings. We had spicy pork soup dumplings along with some steamed and some pan fried. All three were great but the spicy juicy pork with soup was the best!

This is a truly GREAT place. My dumplings were exceptional. All restaurants can learn a lesson to put their efforts/love into the food. It seems like much is put into profits, ambience, presentation & performance nowadays.

I like this place a lot. there is a different feeling. The food is tasty. the service is efficient and the waiters are well trained. The pay is modest. truly recommend.

I was in Taiwan last November and it was a beautiful experience looking forward to returning again. the soup dumplings were amazing.

One of the best Northern Chinese dumpling shops I've been to. Focus your attention here on the namesake items, specifically the pork & leek and pork & sour cabbage. If you're really in for some of the best Chinese flavor profiles, try the House Special chili beef soup, or their MaPo Tofu, which is absolutely fantastic. Perhaps one of the more authentic shops out here, absolutely worth checking out.

Amazing!! So good we had to eat there twice while in town!
