A Dumpling House Like No Other: Dough Zone Opens in Downtown Walnut Creek

Dough Zone Dumpling House, renowned for its traditional homemade Chinese comfort food, has expanded its footprint to Walnut Creek, CA, marking a significant milestone with its grand opening on February 12th, 2024. Located at 1320 Locust Street, this new location finds itself nestled among vibrant dining establishments such as 5 Tacos & Beer, Rooftop Restaurant & Bar, and Melo’s enriching the local culinary scene with its unique offerings​.

Founded by Jason and Nancy Zhai in Bellevue in 2014, Dough Zone has built a reputation for blending classic Chinese comfort food with a modern dining experience. Their menu in Walnut Creek promises to tantalize taste buds with a variety of dishes made from fresh, local ingredients, including soup dumplings, pan-fried buns, noodles, and pan-fried dumplings, ensuring a rich and diverse dining experience​.

The Walnut Creek location is part of Dough Zone's broader mission to bring its delectable offerings to a wider audience, allowing locals to indulge in house special classic Chinese-style dim sum. From the ever-popular Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings) to a selection of buns, appetizers, pan-fried, boiled, and steamed dumplings, the menu is designed to cater to a range of preferences. It also features noodles, healthy vegetable dishes, mouth-watering soups, an array of desserts, and refreshing beverages, ensuring that there is something for everyone.

The opening of Dough Zone in Walnut Creek was initially met with curiosity and anticipation, as locals speculated about the nature of the establishment, expecting perhaps a dessert place featuring mochi donuts or cookie dough. However, the revelation of it being a dumpling house has been met with excitement, especially for fans of traditional Chinese cuisine, looking forward to enjoying favorites like soup dumplings, among other delicacies.

Dough Zone Dumpling House's expansion into Walnut Creek signifies not only the growth of the brand but also the increasing diversity and richness of the local food scene, offering residents and visitors alike the chance to explore authentic Chinese comfort food right in the heart of their community.
