About O Dumpling Bar
Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
The dumplings were delicious, the fried rice too BUT me personally (only bc I don’t like dark meat) for rice so good I wish there was a white meat option bc the dark meat looked gross. The service wasn’t great but it wasn’t horrible just wish staff was a bit friendlier.
Located within the vibrant Orange Circle area, this small eatery caught our attention with its inviting atmosphere and cozy charm. While the restaurant may not be flashy, it offers a pleasant dining experience worth checking out. The food was enjoyable and well-prepared—though not necessarily exceptional or groundbreaking, it delivered solid flavors that satisfied. The service was friendly and efficient, contributing to the overall positive experience. One of the few drawbacks is the parking situation. Since the Orange Circle is a busy and popular spot, finding nearby parking can be a challenge, especially during peak hours. Be prepared to walk a short distance, but nothing too inconvenient. That minor hassle aside, the restaurant maintains a fair price point, making it a great option for a casual meal without breaking the bank. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this spot is a convenient and pleasant stop if you’re already in the area.
I came in with 4 others and we ordered quite a bit of food. I was a little surprised that all the food came out to our table in to to boxes.. I ordered the creamy udon and it was only filled halfway (the bowl). The soup was lukewarm as was a few other things we had. I dont understand how you sell soup but dont have soup spoons? Overall the dumplings were good. Everything else, youre better off going elsewhere. Staff was great.
The service was awesome, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. It’s a very pretty shop with lots of seating, very tidy, and has a bathroom. Parking is so-so but it’s downtown Orange, just an FYI. We thought the food was quite bland and kinda forgettable. It was pretty expensive for what you get and I think there’s better places around.
We had some time to kill before our flight back home and we were super excited about finding this place. The place looked nice from the outside and had exactly what we were craving. When we enter the place though there was a really bad odor and the music was blasting- seriously like at a club. We ordered three type of dumplings because it was nice outside so that was the only reason we ordered. The smell inside is really bad. My husband thinks that’s due to bad ventilation & the boiling of meat. All the food was in to go containers but nicely presented. It did taste a bit plain but we had two sauces + soy sauce so it was good. We ate everything. Personally the smell just kills it for me.
