This isn't just another casual eatery opening its doors; Dumpling Time Palo Alto, along with its sister branches, is unveiling an exciting, updated menu crafted by none other than Dustin Falcon. As the corporate executive chef of Omakase Restaurant Group (Dumpling Time’s parent company), Chef Falcon brings a seriously impressive pedigree to the table, including a Michelin star earned at Niku Steakhouse and experience at the legendary French Laundry.

To complement your meal, Dumpling Time offers a curated drink menu.

You'll also find a selection of beer, sake, and wine.

The new restaurant provides ample seating with space for 62 guests outdoors and 52 indoors, including a cool dumpling bar with counter seating. For more intimate gatherings, there's a private dining room that seats 16. A highlight is their signature window, where you can watch the skilled team handcrafting the dumplings right before your eyes – a truly unique experience!

Chef Falcon praised Stanford Shopping Center as "one of the most celebrated malls in the country" and noted that many of Dumpling Time's San Francisco customers are actually Palo Alto residents. "Now being in their community, where they can pop in on the spur of the moment, is great," he shared. Dumpling Time is sure not to disappoint.
