We had a great time exploring the vegetarian side of the menu at Serious Dumpling in San Jose. Overall, everything was quite tasty, but the Monk SJB (pan-fried soup dumplings) were the real stars—perfectly crispy on the bottom and filled with a savory mix of kale, shiitake mushrooms, and glass noodles. We also really enjoyed the Scallion Noodles and the Cucumber Salad, which provided a nice, refreshing crunch. The Steam Veggie Dumplings were another solid addition to the meal. To wrap things up, we tried the Chocolate XLB, which were definitely “extra tasty”—rich and indulgent, especially if you add the sea salt cream. It’s a fantastic spot if you’re looking for creative, veggie-forward options that don’t skimp on flavor.

Serious Dumpling in San Jose is seriously good! I had the wontons in chili oil and garlic noodles with beef, both were bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. The chili oil added just the right kick, and the noodles were rich and satisfying. Service was fast and friendly. A must visit spot for dumpling lovers!

This place gave me Diarrhea.
The XLB soup dumplings had a paste of pork not chewy pork. And the Beef noodle soup had absolutely no flavor whatsoever other than Watery MSG. As someone who loves Dim Sum this is genuinely the worst food I’ve ever tasted.

Pretty chill dumpling spot. It’s got nice food and a pretty tight atmosphere.
The service was mostly quick as they sat us down quite quickly. Once we ordered the dumplings came soon after. I enjoyed the shrimp soup dumpling the most. The xiaou long Bao with the shrimp sticking by out tasted really good. The shrimp on top really made it stand out. The spicy wonton dumpling also was a classic taste. But the curry naan break was good too. It tasted Ike quality Japanese curry on scallion pancake.
Overall pretty tasty food; with a lot of interesting and different items on the menu.

Serious Dumpling: They Mean Business
If you’re looking for dumplings that redefine expectations, Serious Dumpling is the place. Without exaggeration, these are the best dumplings I’ve had—hands down. Their flavors, textures, and attention to detail make for an unforgettable dining experience.
Sweet Ube dumpling– A Showstopper
It’s hard to surprise me, but the ube zlb completely blew me away. This dish is easily the best and most amazing thing I’ve eaten this year. The delicate dumpling skin encases a rich, slightly sweet yet perfectly balanced ube filling that melts in your mouth. It’s not just a dumpling—it’s an experience. If you visit, do not leave without trying this.
Savory Beef Pancake – Crispy and Satisfying.The beef pancake is everything you want in a savory pastry—flaky, crispy layers wrapped around tender, flavorful beef and fresh cucumber. The balance between the crunch of the pancake and the juicy beef makes it an absolute must-order.
Shrimp & Pork dumplings – Classic with a Twist
The shrimp & pork dumpling is another highlight. The combination of juicy pork with a perfectly cooked shrimp peeking out of the dumpling makes for a fantastic bite. The broth inside is rich and flavorful, exactly what you expect from great soup dumplings.
Cucumber Salad – Refreshing and Unique
The cucumber salad was a surprising and refreshing contrast to the dumplings. It had a light, tangy, and slightly garlicky dressing that balanced out the richness of the other dishes. Definitely a great side to cleanse the palate.
Service – Attentive and Friendly
The staff was incredibly attentive and made sure everything was just right. Their knowledge of the menu and willingness to provide recommendations made the experience even better.
Final Thoughts
Serious Dumpling truly lives up to its name. They take dumplings to another level with bold flavors and perfect execution. If you’re even remotely into dumplings, this place is a must-visit. And again, do yourself a favor—get the ube ZLB. You won’t regret it!

I came with a friend and was greeted by quick service and delicious dumplings. The xiao long baos were very soft and juicy, the minced pork noodles were tender, and the chocolate xiao long baos melted in your mouth.

This place was so good! The food came out hot and fresh and the service was excellent. They have chili oil and soy sauce at every table to enjoy with your meal. The garlic noodles were delicious and I paired that with the lamb dumplings which were mouth watering! Their hot sake is delicious to which compliments any choice.

A Pleasant Surprise at Serious Dumpling While exploring San Pedro Street in San Jose, I came across Serious Dumpling. As a dumpling lover, I had to see how “serious” they really were.
They did not disappoint. The Garlic Noodles were packed with flavor, and the Garlic String Beans had just the right crunch. The Xiao Long Bao hit the spot, but the highlight for me was the Giant Soup XLB–truly a dumpling worth writing about.
The wait staff was friendly and there is a definite vibe to the atmosphere.
I’ll definitely be back to try more!

I had a good experience here. Set your expectation right and you will have a good time.
Pros:
1. Meat flavor is very good. The garlic noodle is VERY good highly recommend. A bit oily though so might not be the best for some people.
2. Price seems reasonable for the amount and quality of the food, as well as the ambiance and location.
Cons:
1. There’s not a lot of service. The workers there seems like they are not having a good time.
2. The SJB dumpling wrapper is pretty bad. The flavor and meat is good though.
