" Great dumpling spot in San Ramon! I really enjoyed their spicy wontons; they had the right kick and flavor. The service staff was attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. We arrived during lunch, and while it was busy, we were still seated without much wait. The atmosphere is casual, and the food is affordably priced. Make sure to try the Xiao Long Bao if you stop by. I will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dumpling 85 has quickly become my new favorite spot! The variety on the menu is impressive, and everything I've tried so far has been delicious. The spicy pork wontons were a highlight, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. The staff was attentive and made great suggestions based on what I was in the mood for. I admire the authenticity of the food and cannot stress enough how much I love their traditional dumplings. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, making it great for family meals. I can’t wait to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Dumpling 85 has its ups and downs. On the one hand, the Xiao Long Bao was absolutely delicious – you could really taste the quality of the broth! On the other hand, I expected more from the service. We waited quite a while for our order to be taken, despite the restaurant not being too busy. It felt a bit disorganized, which was a shame because the food was so promising. The ambiance could also use a little sprucing up to make it more inviting. I’d be willing to give it another chance, though, mainly for the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place for dumplings and noodles! The atmosphere isn't particularly fancy, but it conveys a comforting vibe. I ordered the Xiao Long Bao and the ginger scallion noodles, both of which were delicious. The service was friendly and accommodating. One thing to note is that their portions are pretty generous for the price. I completely understand why this place is getting a lot of positive reviews – they do make some of the best dumplings around! " (*Curated Review*)

" Really enjoyed the experience overall! The highlight was the freshness of all the ingredients they used, particularly in the dumplings. I noticed the chefs rolling out the dough right in front of us, which added a nice touch to the dining experience. However, the wait time for food was longer than expected, especially during peak hours. Once the food arrived, everything was delicious! I particularly liked the spicy wontons and the scallion pancakes. A bit of an improvement in service speed would be fantastic. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally decided to try Dumpling 85 after hearing so much about it, and I was not disappointed. The decor is nothing fancy, which gives it a relaxed vibe. I ordered the beef brisket noodle soup and some pork dumplings. The dumplings were juicy with thin skins, and the soup was comforting and satisfying. However, I found the beef a bit on the tougher side. Service was decent but could be improved. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and would recommend giving this place a shot if you love dumplings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food in a cozy setting! I had the fried pork buns, which were crispy and flavorful. The service was efficient, and I appreciated that everyone was nice. What surprised me was the freshness of the ingredients and how hand-rolled the dumplings were. I can't rate the service perfect due to a slight delay, but the food made up for it. I'd recommend Dumpling 85 to anyone looking for good dumplings. " (*Curated Review*)
