Journey To The Dumpling

Here are the foods that I got at Journey to the Dumpling in Elk Grove! The first thing I got were the pork soup dumplings, and I have heard people compare them to other places such as Din Tai Fung’s, so I was really excited to try them out! They were big and almost couldn’t fit into my soup spoon, and I do have to admit that they do taste a little similar to DTF, they’re not exactly on the same level’s to DTF‘s since the dumpling kept falling apart and was a little messy, but they were still delicious.
I would say that the closeness and similarity and taste would be may be like a 9 out of 10.
I think personally I would prefer DTF’s, but if I was in the Sacramento area and I REALLY was craving some good quality soup dumplings without driving too much, then I think these soup dumplings would still hit the spot.
Next, we got mushroom dumplings, I think? They did have a weird brown outside covering, which I was a little scared about, but it wasn’t too bad! For the inside, it did come with some mushrooms, but it wasn’t anything too special.
I wouldn’t probably get these again, but they were still okayyy, like they weren’t a dish that was inedible and super bad.
Lastly, we got the leaf wrapped dish that came with some rice that tasted pretty sweet and came with the chicken inside.
It was pretty good and I don’t think it was a total waste of our money, but I wouldn’t probably get this dish again due to the price.
Like the mushroom dumplings, it was okay and edible, but it wasn’t anything to mind blowning or special.
The shop was pretty popular and busy!

Have been here many times and the food quality still top notch compared to a lot of similar restaurants even in Bay Area, average $12-15/ dish very competitive price, recommend beef rolls, stuffed meat bun and steam buns.
Hot oil wanton today did not have enough red oil however the servant today is very nice.

I adore Journey to the Dumpling.
It's a wonderful atmosphere, and I enjoy coming here for lunch.
I absolutely enjoy the soup dumplings; they're steaming and wonderful.
Other steamed dumplings, in my experience, are also quite filling.
I also love that they have vegetarian options, as well as chicken and seafood options.
