January 6, 2025: CLOSED for our annual holiday party! Locally owned by husband and wife, Chris and Yvonne Tan, we’re working hard to become the Sacramento area’s best spot to start your journey to the dumpling. We have a passion for what we do and we set out to create a family-friendly atmosphere in which to share our favorite foods. Our voice should be as modern as our decor, as warm as our soup dumplings, and as enthusiastic as we are about the little Chinese-food haven we’ve created.

We ate at Journey to the Dumplings in downtown Sacramento with my two daughters. I ordered the vegan dumplings, while my daughters had the dumplings in oil sauce and the string beans.
My daughters enjoyed it but for me, it was a bit overrated. The vegan dumplings were just okay, and the prices felt very high. We spent close to $100 for three people, which didn’t feel worth it for the food. That said, the staff was pleasant and the atmosphere was fine. Being in downtown, parking was difficult.

The service has always been good whenever I visit journey. The food always comes out fast and fresh and delicious no complaints! My fav is the xlb and the chili oil wontons! Must visit for anyone who loves to eat dumplings!

This place had a lot of hype, and I used to go to the old location in Elk Grove.
But man… what happened?
Everything was right below mid. Nothing was bad, but where’s the soul? (Especially at these prices)
Here’s what we ordered:
Pan fried soup pork bun
– Gummy, no flavor, too hot.
Peking spare rib
– Chewy, bland, covered in tasteless red goop
Chicken fried rice
– Greasy, no salt at all, chicken had weird texture
Hong Kong noodle chicken
– Decent sauce, noodles were too crunchy, bland overall
Siu Mai
– Decent, tasted like frozen ones from the store.
Egg tart
– Decent, again it tasted like a Trader Joe frozen item.
This place looks like Chinese food and has the shape, but it has no soul and no flavor.
With all the other great Chinese places in Sacramento, don’t waste your time coming here.
Heard of Din Tai Fung?
This is Din Tai NOT Fun.

Would give the food between a 4 and 5 if I could. We ordered the fried shrimp balls, the duck and noodle soup and the pork soup dumplings. The dumplings were by far our favorite. Absolutely AMAZING! The shrimp balls were really flavorful and juicy (in a good way) and crunchy and crisp on the outside. The duck soup was the only thing kind of lacking. It didn’t have a whole lot of flavor. They also were very accommodating for children. Had plastic children’s plates and kid sized silverware. Overall a great restaurant. We would go again and you definitely recommend to anybody in the area.

This is a great restaurant, fun vibe inside with the neon light signs, service is quick and attentive. I just wish the restaurant interior was a bigger restaurant, the seating is a little cramped. Great food, and great service.

The dumplings are great. The sauces and condiments for the dumpling are great. The flavors in the noodle dishes such as the chow mein are spot on. I really like the food here and plan to come back many times to try all the offerings

Came for lunch on a Friday. Plenty of spots, quick service.
Pork xiao long bao [9.5/10]
– These are reaaally good.
– 8 pieces, Soup filled, good size, good flavour
– Expensive, but might be normal Sacramento price ($18.5)
– Could come steamier
Beef noodle soup (8/10)
– Decent
– Chunky meat and chewy noodles
– Not really that spicy

Visited this spot for a friend’s birthday, the plates were all pretty good and I definitely will come back! We ordered so much but my favorites were actually the chow fun (with gravy), the green onion pancakes, and the spicy salt and pepper calamari! I love the atmosphere as well. Beautifully decorated space and I loved seeing all the happy families and groups of friends enjoying their dinners.

The food was good. They had a long waiting time as well. We had fried rice, chicken and Peking ribs, pork chive dumplings soup and roast duck soup. All great tasting!
