Dough Zone Dumpling House - Issaquah: Authentic Comfort Food Awaits

Dough zone has the best spicy dan dan noodles i've ever had! The dumplings were very flavorful and soft, the restaurant vibe was casual yet cozy. The service was top tier, very effective, staff was nice and accomodative to our vegetarian requests. 5 stars all around

Dough Zone has become one of my favorite spots--it's truly my guilty pleasure! The spicy mala noodles and veggie dumplings are my go-to every time, and they never disappoint. The flavors are consistently amazing, and the dishes always hit the spot. The service here is another reason I keep coming back--it's always fast and efficient, which makes the experience even better. While this isn't necessarily a place you go for the ambiance, there's something comforting about it. It feels familiar and welcoming in its own way. I also have to say, I like Dough Zone better than Din Tai Fung, especially because of the price. You get great food without breaking the bank, and that makes the experience even more enjoyable.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMM YUMMY IN MY TUMMY good portions and GREAT food for a lower cost than high end dumpling places. i love it here i go here a lot :)

My family and I are huge Dough Zone fans. We typically order takeout, but have dined in a few times as well. Their ordering system is really efficient and the food always comes out quickly, even during lunch and dinner rushes. My favorite dishes are the Dan Dan Noodles, Sweet and Sour Cucumber, and Shrimp and Zucchini Dumplings. Everything is always flavorful and seasoned well. This is a great spot for vegetarians too since they have a ton of great vegetarian options on the menu. Will keep coming back whenever I want delicious and affordable Chinese comfort food!

Everything was fine until paying! Sat right away it was not busy, it's a family oriented place, obviously because kids usually love noodles of any kind! We basically ordered one of everything intending take home! All of it was good. Paying was a hassle, they took gift card we got from Costco and with another visa they tried taking the tip with it as well saying it was just a penny but it was 8 dollars! Not to be petty but they intentionally we requiring additional top, claiming to not understand, it was resolved by voiding and reprocessing a few times, but beware of shifty dealings with gift cards!

My family has been coming to this restaurant for years. We love the clean space and simple ordering system. I love that you can add yourself to the waitlist in advance through Yelp. My sister usually takes care of ordering for us and all of it is always delicious. I love how savoury their dishes are and there's always a good ratio of meat to dough in their food. Most recently when we went to Dough Zone, we arrive fifteen minutes before the restaurant closed and they still seated us and served us so we really appreciated them accommodating us.

This is my favorite Dough Zone restaurant. I have been to other Dough Zone locations, but those places are not as good as this Issaquah location for many reasons. This location is close to I-90, so easy access from the high way. The parking lot is usually full, but there is an additional parking lot behind the building, which is normally empty. Compared with other locations, this place is generally easier to get in without waiting for too long. The quality of this place is more consistent than other locations. The staff is friendly in general. It's also quick to get my order. The seating is spacious, so I don't need to hear others' conversations. The food is delicious, and its quality is generally consistent. Other locations do have issues with food quality consistency. A few things that made me only give 4 stars: 1. The restrooms are not clean. It seems that they don't send people to maintain regularly. 2. Once you finish every plate on the table, they will bring the check to rush you pay. This happened a few times where there were still many tables available and there was nobody waiting. In order to stay longer to chat with friends, I normally have to order more drinks or snacks. But then they will bring the updated check once the additional order came to the table. 3. They sometimes have new items that are not listed on the order sheet, so we will have to order verbally instead of writing down on the sheet. (They give me an order sheet for us to pick up what we want and the servants will come to confirm.) Sometimes the servants forget if they didn't write it down immediately.

Came here after running a marathon! Good: - Easy ordering experience, tons of variety - Solid quality food, I loved the XLB and the fried pork buns - The sliced cucumber was beautifully cut - The food all comes out quickly and the servers are fast at bringing things out as they are ready Bad: - Casual place, not a super fancy ambiance - The jianbing wasn't super flavored Overall this was a great find in a somewhat random location!
