House of Dumplings - Chico, California

First time trying this place and we won't be back. The worst beef and broccoli I've ever had by a long stretch. The flavor was ok, but the pieces of beef were soggy, the pieces of beef were very small, and there was very little beef in the dish. I ate some of it but it was very disappointing. Most of the pieces of beef in the dish weren't that much larger than that seen in the picture. We also got some orange chicken. It was ok, but again, like the beef, the pieces were very small and didn't taste very fresh. The noodles and rice was good.

We love coming to House of Dumplings and getting the dim sum and they are so very good! The guy who owns it is so sweet! Definitely come and visit and try it out! I promise you won't be disappointed! 🤗

This place has really good soup dumplings, even with takeout delay they were tasty! The picture showed 8 dumplings per serving, but I only got 6, FYI. We also ordered beef chow mein and it was solidly good, and it was a large portion for lunch, could be shared or saved for leftovers. Staff was friendly, there was easy parking and online ordering, just watch out it still says "Windy's" on the building outside (inside there's the House of Dumplings sign.) Next time I'll try the pork buns and other dumplings.

Edit: responding to the business owner because I can't respond to your response. I've had this dish many times at other restaurants. It's a delicious dish with a unique flavor. In my opinion your oil was rancid. Maybe you missed the part where I said the spring rolls were also cooked in rancid oil. stating my opinion is not libel. You have many other 1 star reviews. You could have offered to make this right, but instead you threatened me. Self awareness is so important. Maybe rather than threatening your MANY 1star reviewers you should take the criticism and improve your customer service and food. Thank you for proving the point that I shouldn't have sought a refund.

Honestly I try not to leave bad reviews, but I don't want anybody else to make my mistake. I'm so very disappointed that I had to waste an entire meal. Everything was cooked in old, rancid oil. I could smell how foul the oil was before I even opened the containers.

The spring rolls were quite burned and I still would've powered through them. However, they also smelled/tasted of rancid oil and were not edible. I'm pretty picky, so I wanted a second opinion and I asked my eat-everything boyfriend (with an iron stomach) to taste it and verify that I wasn't overreacting. He was baffled by how bad all of it was. Thirty bucks straight in the trash. Then the oil made the trash smell so bad that we had to take out the trash.

After reading the reviews left by others I will not be seeking a refund because I can tolerate the loss more than I could tolerate being harassed by a bad business owner.

I always get the pork buns they are so good! The Chicken Chow Mein and Orange Chicken was really great too! He makes everything right after it’s ordered too so it was fresh. The owner/cook was really nice.

The moment we tasted the mouthwatering chicken chow mein, pork buns, and egg custard buns, we knew we'd found a culinary paradise. The owner's warmth and kindness made it a truly unforgettable experience. We'll be regulars here! Thank you!

Don’t let the appearance fool you. This place has amazing food! Like the story goes, the BEST food is in the most unexpected places. I’m not sure what all the negative reviews were about previously. But I suspect it’s from the establishment that was there previously, THEY SUCKED. But I’ve tried every place in Chico this place is the best HANDS DOWN. If you’re looking for something authentic with EXCELLENT flavor, THIS IS IT.
