This is a good place to dine if you’re passing by the area. The food was good though everything did not came out fast due to number of customers. Be careful with the broth-filled dumplings, they are hot. Taiwanese beef noodle could use some more flavor. Overall service was good.

This is the second time coming to this Reasturant we were very happy and had loads of flavor bomb in our mouth both veg options and non veg options. Their black bean sauce was awesome their mushroom bun was something we did not expect amazing food

Came here at opening on a Sunday, people were already waiting outside! By the time I ordered, nearly all the tables were full. I got the XLB and they were great. Thick, chewy wraps and the pork was cooked perfect (not overdone). I also had the tan tan noodle, solid but nothing too special.

better than din tai fung? i don't think so. but decent chinese food and xiao long bao if you're passing through elk grove? yes. i've heard a lot about journey to the dumpling and decided to try it on the drive to tahoe. we came around 12:40pm on a tuesday and there was no wait. service was fast. // xiao long bao (8 pcs for ~$14.50) // i didn't realize but this comes out to be more than DTF's price per XLB. the xiao long bao here is quite big, definitely biggest ones i've had. the pork is a good portion size of filling and they are juicy. the dough skin was too thick for my liking--i'm not sure about other reviews who say it's thinner than DTF. overall, a solid dumpling though and the best dish we got. // sheng jian bao (pan fried pork dumpling) (6 pcs for $13.50) // these baos were much smaller than expected. they are pan fried so have a good crisp to them, but i found the dough to be too thick so unless you eat them right away, they kind of get hard. the pork was very juicy though which i liked. // chicken chow mein ($~13.95?) // the portion of noodles is very big, generous serving size. good amount of chicken and comes with flat chow mein noodles. it tasted good, but was very salty - definitely more salty than chow mein should be. overall, i'd recommend journey to the dumpling if you come at a non-busy time like a weekday lunch. it's decent chinese food for the area, especially if you don't have a DTF near you. however, not sure i would wait in line for an hour like some reviewers have mentioned...

11/2023 very busy on Saturday lunch, waited 45 minutes. Tried the fried chicken with soy sauce. It was very good, recommended. And the porridge was tasty after adding all the side stuffs mix with it. 8/2023 Tried porkchop noodle soup, the porkchop was breaded and deep-fried, very crispy and still juicy inside, quite fatty. My family loves it. Shrimp dumplings are good too. Recommended. today's xiao long bao were delicious. Good service. Recommended. The restaurant was quite busy during Tuesday dinner. 6/2023 Decent food and service. The xiao long bao filling and broth are delicious, the skin was tough on top. The pan-fried noodles were good, but the beef cubes were chewy. I would recommend trying a different type of meat or seafood.

This is by far the best Chinese dumplings place in Sacramento county that I've eaten at period and about as good as any premium dumplings in San Francisco Chinatown. Food and service is first class and get busy fast on Sunday lunch time and so get there early, otherwise you be waiting outside in line.

Fantastic food, quick service, loud crowd! I recommend getting on the online waitlist before you get there. The beef rolls, soup dumplings, and spicy Singapore noodles were delicious! The noodles were good with the house chili oil on them. I'd love to come back here and order the exact same thing all over again, it'll be hard to try a new dish because I liked everything so much. Will be back!
