Dumpling Haus Grand Opening

Dumpling Haus Grand Opening

After much anticipation, we are happy to announce our Grand Opening date! On January 25, we will be opening the doors to our brick and mortar location in Sawyer Yards. The day will be filled with Chinese New Year celebrations and traditional foods.

Every guest who comes in wearing red will receive a red envelope with a gift from us! Red envelopes, or Hong Bao, are typically given during Chinese New Year to transfer wealth and luck.

Lion dance in the shopping plaza will begin at 2:00pm. The lion dance is a traditional Chinese dance performed on big occasions, such as the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) for good luck, as it is believed that the lion is an auspicious animal.

Dumpling Haus is a family run business born out of a lifelong family tradition of love, hospitality and comfort food. Each Dumpling Haus dumpling is made from scratch and wrapped by hand every day. Dumpling Haus's menu highlights the traditional Cantonese and Taiwanese flavors from an authentic Chinese kitchen with the speed of East Asian street food.
