Epic Dumpling 一品香水饺 — Restaurant in Sunnyvale

After finishing our morning walk in windy rainy weather we wanted to have some steamed dumplings & since it's Lunar New Year we thought why not let's go for it .

This is written in Chinese as 过年好 / 過年好, and translates to "Guò nián ho". "Guò nián ho" is pronounced as 'gwor-nyen haoww' in Mandarin and 'gwor-nin haow' in Cantonese.

I called the restaurant & gave my order for pickup, when I entered the restaurant my order was already ready for pickup, I spoke to the owner she was so nice & helpful we interacted for few minutes maintaining our social distance. Since it's Lunar New Year I wished her & asked her how to say in mandarin she was so happy to teach me & I loved the conversation with the mother & daughter which I miss given the pandemic situation. Amazing customer service kudos to them for treating every customer so graciously. After paying I was about to pickup the order & leave, the owner said to the daughter to give BBQ Pork Steamed Bun ( free of charge) as a token of thanks which was so appreciative & I was completely surprised. They told me to try it's their most popular item.

These are the dishes I ordered -

1. Wonton (Chicken & spinach filling) noodle soup- broth was amazingly good & piping hot it had carrots, black fungus mushrooms & bok choy.
2. XLB Shanghai Soup Dumplings - it had 6 pieces amazing taste & flavor.
3. Cantonese Shrimp dumplings - 8 pieces very flavorful we loved it.
4. Green onion pancake - 8 slices we loved it.
5. Beef Chow Fun - good amount of beef slices enjoyed it very much.
6. BBQ Pork Steamed Bun - 3 pieces , nice balance of flavors & pork chunks we loved it.

After reaching home I reheated some of the food to enjoy it piping hot. Loved that the soup was packed nicely (soup in plastic container, wonton & noodle packed separately in the box container) . Amazing customer service & would love to support the local business , can't wait for indoor dining to take the...

Delicious little hole in the wall dumpling place, serving hot Chinese food in a dimly lit restaurant. :) You know it’s a great sign when you see older Chinese aunties in the shop window expertly wrapping hundreds of dumplings.

True to its name, the dumpling selection on the menu is expansive and all the dumplings are really good. They also have other things (non-dumpling) on their menu. There were definitely a few standout dishes and a few I thought were just okay.

GREAT (would order again) hot and sour soup salt pepper chicken wings salt pepper fried fish soup dumplings (xiao long bao) spicy wonton dumplings stir fry green beans pretty much any dumpling on the menu, they’re freshly made! egg yolk and boba black sesame balls

Just ok (wouldn’t get again) pan fried soup dumplings (shen jian bao) green onion pancake chow fun (noodle)

I think this is one of my favorite places for soup dumplings now. The soup had great flavor, the filling held up well, the skin was not too thick or thin and didn’t break easily. The other standout on the menu were the black sesame balls, filled with hot gooey sweet yolk and boba. They were freshly fried and amazing! They’re not on the regular menu and was a special when I came here (May 2025)

This truly is a hole in the wall place located in an unassuming plaza, so it was quite dark inside and the seating and bathroom was limited. Come for the food not...

We used to go to Mama Chef off Stevens Creek a while aho and they closed so a void was left until now. We decided to guve this place a try after seeing the reviews. This place combines chinese and taiwanes in the best way.

FOOD: DanDan Noodles 6/10 and I rate them low only kuz we didn't like the sauce personally and we wish they had the Minced Noodles other places have. Braised Beef Noodles Soup 10/10 the broth was soo tasty and the meat tender. Basil Eggplant 11/10 probably best weve ever had, it was caramelized and tender. Pork Chop Bento 7/10 the actual pork portion was very big and flavor was okay. Shrimp and pork siu mai 10/10 very tasty. Five Spice Marinated Combination 6/10 flavor was okay. Shanghai Pan Fried Soup Dumplings 5/10 too much dough to beef ratio. Marinated Beef Pancake Roll 10/10 beef was flavorful and pancake nice and crispy. All portions were shareable for sure.

Service: the waitress was very nice and friendly. The food came out pretty fast. Place was nice and clean

Overall this place will probably become our new favorite and would...
