Pan Fried Dumplings San Jose

"This restaurant has rebranded as 四姐 Special Noodle (a chain). Based on photos here they continue to offer some of the same dishes as did Pan Fried Dumplings / Yummy Yummy Bao / etc. Sheng jian bao fried dumplings are pretty good, while the stone pot lamb soup disappointed especially for the price."

"This spot has AMAZING dumplings which are so DELICIOUS!!! Our order took about ~40 minutes to prepare so I would definitely suggest ordering beforehand (but also depending on what you order, make sure you pick it up fresh and don't leave it sitting!). Soupy pan fried pork buns - this one is a must try! They were fried to perfection and had so much soup inside! They were made beautifully and tasted amazing. Snowflake dumplings (pork and shrimp) - I loved these, one of the best snowflake/lace dumplings I've had in my life. So crispy and flavored so well- there was even juicy broth inside the dumplings and I didn't even need dipping sauce. Beef Wrap - good sauces and flavors inside, the pancake wrap on the outside could have been cooked a little longer for a more golden color. Compared to the other things we ordered from here this one definitely didn't stand out as much but still yummy. Come Again? DEFINITELY! Great comfort food and one of my favorite dumpling places so far!"

"We ordered shengjian and bbq, it is pretty good, a little bit of salty, but in general very local taste"

"Excellent sheng Jiang bao with super crispy bottoms and soft on top. Juicy flavorful pork fillings too. Other dishes were tasty also. The new ordering from the iPad is cool and you can adjust many ingredients (oil, salt, msg, etc.) On each dish. Super friendly staff too."

"Decor aside, the restaurant has fresh Chinese doughnuts (油条 Yóutiáo), sweet soymilk and tofu flower (豆花). So good, and reminds of of breakfast in Taipei and Beijing. So tasty! Pro tip: the sweet soy milk needs stirring because the sugar is at the bottom. Once stirred, try dipping the Yóutiáo in the soy milk and enjoy!"
