Danacious Dumplings (Dana包子铺) 375 Saratoga Avenue, San Jose, CA 95129

"Seen this place all the time so l decided to stop by since it was one of the only places that open this early for food. It's roughly $14 for each of these tray. I walked in and seen about 6 ladies making these all by hand right in front so you know it's legit. Waited about 20 minutes but it was well worth the wait and price. The mini baos were my favorite, they were so soft and packed full of pork and mushrooms. You get about 12 for $14. It can be overwhelming when walking in as a lot of the menu is in another language but if you pay attention there's a small English description on the bottom. Give it a try you won't regret it!"

"A takeout place for juicy, delicious northern China style buns (aka bao). They have a variety of fillings to choose from. Our favorite is the pork and leek buns, which is also one of their most popular dishes. When you walk in, you can see the kitchen staff making the buns behind the counter. These buns are definitely one of the best Chinese buns I have tasted in the Bay Area. The cashier was friendly and patient when answering my questions and making recommendations. We keep going back there for those yummy homey buns."

"Incredible! Can see them making fresh in store or they have prepared food to go in freezer section. No dine in option. Must—- shiitake pork bao buns and the shrimp green bean dumplings were my favorite. We spent a total of about $65 for the items pictured. Not cheap but also freshly made."

"I can't praise Danacious Dumpling enough! This place has quickly become my go-to spot for an amazing Bao Zi experience. My absolute favorites are the Pork and Green Onion Bao and the Minced Pork with Tofu Bao – they are beyond delicious! The taste is amazing, and what sets them apart is the incredibly juicy filling. I've tried Bao at various places, but Danacious Dumpling truly excels in flavor and quality. My tip for the best experience: visit on a weekend morning around 9 or 10 am when the Bao Zi just came out of the oven, fresh and warm. It's an unbeatable treat! Parking is a breeze here, which is a huge plus. And the prices are more than reasonable for the quality and quantity you get. Don't miss out on this gem of a restaurant. Danacious Dumpling has earned its five stars in every way!"

"Ordered pork and green onion bao just to try this place out, it’s a takeout place no seating in store, $30 min for credit card, otherwise can use cash and venmo. Very legit bao flavor love it, solid filling and soft wrap, will come back and try different flavor"
