The food is good, but i did takeout, and there was hair in my food. it is not my hair texture so it is definitely not my hair. i noticed it on the food as soon as i opened it, but i already drove home so it was too late to take it back, also i tried calling their number but it doesn’t work. i also spent too much for there to be hair in my food.

I’m extremely disappointed with our recent visit to Dumpling Time in Berkeley. We ordered Pork Xiao Long Bao, and when we opened them, the pork filling inside was clearly undercooked — still pink and raw in the center. This is absolutely unacceptable, especially when serving pork. Undercooked meat is a serious food safety issue and can be dangerous, particularly for children. We ordered the take out for the kids, and it’s frightening to think what could have happened if they had eaten the dumplings without us checking first. Serving undercooked pork is not just a small mistake — it’s a major health risk. Overall, it was a horrible experience. We expected much better in terms of food safety and quality control. The restaurant needs to take this issue seriously to ensure no other families are put at risk.

This used to be a decent go to - sit outside, enjoy the weather, eat dumplings. But it’s slowly dragging down the portion size and last time we were there, the staple soy, vinegar and chilli oil on the table just weren’t … there. We were then given dry har gow without the usual sauce and had to wait 10 mins and ask twice to get a side of soy sauce - which was just soy sauce without the vinegar - and filled up 1/3 of the sauce cup. At this point we just gave up. But if the profit margins are so thin that rationing sauces is where we are at, we will be going for atmosphere alone in future and not expect to eat a meal.

What a fun, quick dumpling spot! Dumpling Time is a small, convenient spot serving dumplings, noodle soups, and bao buns in a quaint setting. Parking is pretty easy to find with spots and lots around there. With both an inside and outside there’s some flexibility in seating options and we chose to sit outside with our dog, which was a huge plus. Service was good but we did have to flag them down twice for things. For food we got some beef noodle soup, pork soup dumplings, and bbq pork bao. All were good and surprisingly filling considering the portion sizes. The beef noodle soup in particular was nice to slurp down on a lukewarm afternoon and had a nice deep flavor to the broth. The soup dumplings were also standouts being tasty and with a nice texture to the dumpling itself. This is a good spot to come out with friends to or just have a casual meal. Everyone liked their food and we were more than satisfied after we finished up.

A charming hole-in-the-wall gem that offers a delightful experience for anyone with a love for dumplings. As a vegan I wish they had more menu options but they do feature a selection of rice dishes and refreshing drinks. The perfect place for a quick bite, sharing with friends, or grabbing takeout to enjoy at home.
