Got Dumplings

We came into this lovely location on a cold rainy day where the amazing, fresh hot dumplings warmed us right up! I got the pick 2 with I think 8 dumplings and a side of cold peanut noodles. The dumplings were excellent and so were the noodles in terms of flavor, texture and consistency. The only thing is they’d be more enjoyable if they were hot since it was freezing out. But maybe the peanut flavour wouldn’t be as strong? I’m sure there’s some reasoning but both were excellent tasting and their bubble teas weren’t bad either. I got the green tea bubble tea and was expecting a matcha flavor but it was very ‘jasmine, subtle green tea’. Regardless, the dumplings is their focal point and they are spectacular! (a tad pricy but it is smackdab in the middle of a fairly elite college campus so their price range fits).

i only got bubble tea from here, and i love me some bubble tea but wasnt too crazy about this stuff. i got the coconut, was a bit watery and bubbles were a bit stiff
service-​counter lady was nice
ambiance-​no issues, was clean, plenty of seating
price-​fine for what i got
parking-​street, i walked here
overall, glad i tried it

I stop here every time I am in Charlottesville. Hands down the best dumplings I have ever had.

It’s such a journey to see this place grow from a small fro-​yo place to a fully decked out competitor against all other restaurants on the Corner.
After the froyo machines got moved out of the space, the dining area became a lot more spacious. I definitely like the pork dumplings here than those at Marco and Luca’s (sorry!) and I love the peanut sauce noodles here! If you like peanut butter, you’ll fall in love with this dish! I also liked the fact that they put the sauces on the side — very neat move to shorten wait time and please health-​conscious customers too!
They’ve also expanded their offerings — the menu spans from bubble teas to noodles to dumplings to other dim sum items.
I’m also super thankful that this place existed while I was a broke college student. It’s so budget-​friendly and filling that I used to reward myself with it whenever I couldn’t stand waiting to get home to eat.
Overall, this is definitely a place to try before you graduate if you are a student! It hasn’t been around for as long as the White Spot has to be on the official things-​to-​do-​before-​you-​graduate list but definitely more than makes it on the unofficial one!

Great place for dumplings, cold noodles, ramen, and especially their bubble tea! I always get the lychee milk tea with lychee jelly and I love it. Would definitely recommend this place as the go to place for bubble tea in the Richmond, Charlottesville, Harrisonburg area! Only downside is that their bubble tea is a bit pricey. ($ 5-​$ 6)

Cute place to hang out with friends. Cheap and affordable if your tight on money. Dumplings are really good. Don’t really like the bubble tea. I got the taro bubble milk tea, the milk is meh and the bubble are okay

No doubt they have decent quality dumplings, but 5 dumplings for $ 7 is kind of a rip off. Basically, they’re selling well around the town only because of exhausted starving students. I know there are so many fans of this place out there, but I ain’t one of them.

Cute little dumpling place. The menu is simple, but delicious. All three types of dumpling were good and the bubble tea was outstanding.

All the sides, and especially the pork dumplings, are terrific. I’m not a big fan of the fried rice, but the peanut noodles are to die for. The Asian salad is also wonderful, and the kimchi is good as well. My friend loves the vegetarian dumplings; she has to wait longer but knows they are freshly fried.

Everything on the menu is amazing and well priced. I go for the one entrée 2 sides combo and it’s extremely filling. The ramen is also delicious here, and I don’t think you can get much better on the Corner.

I can’t eat too much fried foods before I get sick, but if I were to crave dumplings, I would definitely go to Got Dumplings (sorry Marco & Luca). My favorite is the chicken curry dumpling, but you can also order shrimp and pork ones. The cold noodles are also very good and filling. The other sides (kimchi, fried rice, seaweed salad, etc.) are also decent-​not the best but definitely not the worst either. I’m not a big fan of their ramen though-​the noodles are always clumpy, but I would order it again if I had a ramen craving. This is also my go-​to place to get bubble tea in Charlottesville-​simply because there isn’t anywhere else to get it in town. Not sure if they use powder and artificial flavoring for all of their drinks, but my favorite is the royal milk tea with tapioca pearls and the green milk tea with green tea jelly. All in all, good quality Asian food served quickly at an affordable price in a convenient location for UVa. students.

Dumplings are meh to me personally, but at Got Dumplings… ermahgward the dumplings are juicy hot and SO, SO, GOOD.
Got Dumplings has some really tasty chicken curry dumplings, you can really taste the flavor of the curry. Most people like the pork dumplings, which are also very good! What I love about the dumpling here is that they don’t taste dry or flavorless, they always taste fresh and really hit the spot! I also recommend the cold peanut flavored noodles (mmm that sauce).
The bubble tea here isn’t the best I’ve ever had, but it’s decent and the only place that sells bubble tea in Charlottesville I think. The white peach iced tea bubble tea is good (:
Overall, friendly service and good noms!

This is my favorite restaurant in Charlottesville so far. The duck ramen is delicious, but my favorite is the original tonkatsu ramen with added pork dumplings. The rich broth smells and tastes like heaven, the egg is always perfectly poached, and the noodles are slightly chewy and immensely satisfying. A to-​go bubble tea is a perfect way to end a perfect meal.

Been here a couple of times now and the service and food have consistently been excellent. I always get the pork solo dumplings (5 pieces) for a good price ($ 4.50). It’s hard for me to try the other kinds of dumplings because the pork is delicious. The dumplings are larger compared to the dumplings at Marco & Luca. The dumpling sauce wasn’t too sweet or too salty as well. I was told that the dumplings are handmade and there is also a food truck on service as well. The lady working was really nice and actually brought the food to the table along with chopsticks. Overall, this is a good place for a snack or a quick lunch if you’re feeling dumplings.

I often came here for their noodle soup with roasted duck. It really disgusted me today that they did not throw away nor clean duck ass carefully, and served me with smelly soup. The entire noodle soup was not edible because of the strong smell caused by the duck ass in the soup, so I could only threw the entire soup away.
Sometimes the soup is severed with yellow, unfresh vegetables. They gave me a coupon a few days after I pointed out the yellow vegetable to the staff there, so I did not complain. However, when they brought me a smelly soup with a big duck ass floating on the top, I feel the need to write this review.
I think the chef and owner of the restaurant should be careful about regulating the quality of their food. They raised the price but did not improve the quality.

Usually love this place for lunch, but just got served kimchi with broken pieces of small glass in it. Only discovered the glass by biting into the kimchi and feeling them grind in between my teeth. It makes me worry about the decision making in the kitchen and food safety. When I told the front shop lady about it with the pieces of glass in hand, she just gave me an «okay.» I didn’t receive assurance that this batch would be thrown out until I pressed her further. She said, «I told them in the back» which was also not definitive. I’m a bit sad because I have loved this place for dumplings and kimchi, but I’ve lost quite a bit of faith. They work hard (see them at the market) but this instance of cutting corners was a bitter experience.

I come here all the time for their cheap food and bubble tea!
An extension of their ultra popular food truck near the Amphitheater, this place is a lot better than the truck in terms of its portions. You can get a combo with five dumplings and one or two sides just like at the truck, but here, the portions are MASSIVE. It ends up being a really great deal. All the dumplings are delicious, the fried rice is pretty good too, and my go-​to side of cold noodles with peanut sauce is a favorite.
The store also has a lot of noodle soups and other dishes that I’ve heard are good too. I’ve only personally had the miso ramen soup, which was okay. The bowl looked cool but when I looked inside, I didn’t get that much. If I paid that same amount towards a dumpling combo, I would have gotten significantly more food.
The bubble tea is quite honestly okay compared with most places outside of Cville, but they fulfill a demand and that’s all there is to it. Lots of flavors of bubble milk tea, flavored bubble tea, and smoothies. They use artificial flavoring so that might be a turn-​off for some people, but for me, if it tastes good then it’s fine. I usually stick with smoothies or the fraps because I just like them way better and they tend to be less watered down. All the drinks can come with lychee jelly, boba, green tea jelly, and other stuff at additional cost.
Overall, solid place to go to for cheap food and bubble tea!

This was my go-​to place to eat when I was in Charlottesville. The food comes out relatively quickly, and the dumplings and sides never really disappointed me. I also enjoyed the udon, however the broth was sometimes a little salty. The bubble tea isn’t the greatest (compared to the bubble tea I’ve had outside of Charlottesville), but it still satisfied my cravings. It may not be the best Asian food I’ve ever had, but for its price, convenient location, and good food, it’s a solid place to eat.
The downside about eating at this place is that it can get pretty crowded sometimes despite its recent expansion from when it was Berry Berry.

Great dumplings and a convenient spot for a quick meal. Their bubble tea is just ok and on the expensive side. Recommend for a quick bite to eat for sure!

Love this place for a quick lunch between classes. I usually get shrimp or pork dumplings with kimchi and fried rice. They’re kimchi, fried rice and noodles sides aren’t amazing but they definitely satisfy my cravings. I usually don’t love froyo but they’re green tea froyo is actually addicting.
My friends usually get similar things or the ramen or udon. They said the soups are pretty good but the ramen is a little salty at the bottom.
I used to come here for my passion fruit bubble tea cravings when it was Berry Berry. Now the space is expanded and def more comfortable for a sit down meal. Overall, the employees are nice and the food is decent for the price.
