“ Let me tell you! I’m so excited that I found this place, even with their limited hours it doesn’t matter, these dumplings are on point! I bought so many frozen ones to bring home, and I just cooked my first set of sesame seed dumplings, and I cooked them in the air fryer and they’re super delicious, but now I need a steamer because now I want to steam the rest of my dumplings lol!! The owner was kind and gracious to me. She treated me as if I was someone she had known for years. I will definitely be going back, and my only complaint is that I wish they were open full-time and a full service restaurant. I would be there weekly! Much love to the owner!! ”

“ These dumplings are amazing! I've had all of the flavors, and it's hard to pick a favorite - the sesame chicken is delicious & the buffalo chicken is a true Buffalo classic! So crispy and super easy to re-heat, I threw mine in the air fryer and they crisped up perfectly. Support local small business and check them out! ”

“ I absolutely love Moneybags Dumplings! I feel the need to get them whenever they’re available at an outdoor market, and I almost always keep them in the house as a freezer item in case dinner doesn’t go as planned or to even add onto another another dish! I’ve tried almost every type of dumpling they offer and my two favorites are the Sambal Chicken and Soy Shroom. If you haven’t had them yet, you are seriously missing out! Thank you Jali for your delicious dumplings ”
“ Got the fried black pepper beef dumplings and steamed sambal chicken dumplings. Both were excellent and filled with meat unlike most dumpling spots which tend to use more fillers. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Very glad we got a chance to try this. Would defintley come back again. ”
