United Dumplings - Rockridge

I had a very disappointing experience with the food from this restaurant. The meal I received tasted spoiled and not fresh, which made it impossible to finish. Food quality and freshness are extremely important, and this experience raised serious concerns about how the food is being stored and prepared. I hope the restaurant improves its quality control, because customers should be able to trust that the food they receive is safe and fresh.

Great service! Food was tasty. We had the XLB soup dumpling combination sampler (which were good but small), grandma's pot stickers (which were missing the crispy edges), Mongolian beef (good), and garlic pea shoots (delicious). Nice atmosphere.

United dumpling is a family run dumpling store. The service was tardy and the food took more than 20 mins to arrive. The dumplings are good but not in the same league as dumpling home or dumpling story. The dumpling skin was also a little on the thicker side. I tried the Sichuan chilli oil dumpling and the beef and celery dumpling. Both were nice. Fun to watch the dumplings made in front of you. Good meal at the price point.

I found this dumpling place by accident on a road trip to SF, and it turned out to be a solid stop. We were a group of five, including a baby, and the server told us upfront that it would be at least 10 minutes before he could get to us. I appreciated the honesty, and we were fine waiting. We ordered two soup dumplings (pork and chicken), oolong tea, wings, and a rice dish. Everything came out hot and tasted great. The soup dumplings were the standout — super fresh and full of flavor — and the wings and rice rounded out the meal perfectly. If you’re in the area, this is an easy recommendation for good, satisfying dumplings and quick, straightforward service.

Ok it’s been a few months since my visit because I didn’t want to write it right away but I had a disappointing experience. First, they were out of a few items I wanted. This was Saturday lunchtime. Specifically, all the mini pan-fried buns. He told us after seating and ordering. Bummer but ok. Then we ordered. I won’t go into the details. He tells us up front they are short staffed in the kitchen and we MUST take our entire order at one time. Okaaay. Well that’s pretty normal I think. So we ordered 5 items. Keep in mind there are three of us so that’s a sizable order I think. And it’s not cheap here. After 15 minutes one item comes. Ok no sweat, I’m sure it’ll all be out shortly. Nope. 15 minutes later we all what’s up and he says they are short staffed in the kitchen. He’ll check. He brings out second dish. Two dishes in 30 minutes. Still three to go. Now I’m noticing other tables have been getting their food. And they ordered after us. I’m like, what? I ask the guy again to check. Takes him 8 more minutes to come back. In the meantime I see even more people get their food. Finally he’s back: “I’m sorry, there was an error in the order printing machine”. I’ll make your food n
