Supreme Dumpling's Excellence
In a nation where food trends come and go, one name has risen through the steam of tradition and innovation to claim its place at the top: Supreme Dumplings. Touted by diners as “better than Din Tai Fung,” this fast-growing brand has sparked a nationwide dumpling craze, winning hearts—and five-star reviews—across Google, Yelp, and beyond. The reason? A single bite of their signature Xiao Long Bao, and you’ll understand why foodies across the U.S. are calling it “Michelin-to-be.”
The Journey Where a Taiwanese Dream Steamed to Perfection
Founded in 2021 in Bellevue, Washington, Supreme Dumplings was born out of a dream to bring the artistry of Taiwanese cuisine to the American table. The name “逸品” (Yi Pin) means “exceptional, outstanding, and the very best”—a standard the brand embodies in every dumpling it serves.
Backed by the culinary and entrepreneurial expertise of Brandon Ting, CEO of the Kizuki Restaurant Group, Supreme Dumplings was envisioned as a heartfelt homage to the flavors of Taiwan. Ting’s ambition was clear: to create a U.S.-based dumpling destination that could one day rival the globally acclaimed Din Tai Fung. Today, that ambition is closer than ever to reality.
Signature Dish: The Xiao Long Bao That Changed Everything
At the heart of Supreme Dumplings is the Xiao Long Bao (XLB)—a delicate soup dumpling with a whisper-thin skin that holds a burst of rich broth and savory filling. Crafted using time-honored techniques, these dumplings reflect centuries of tradition from China’s Song Dynasty and are now the most talked-about dumplings in Bellevue’s Asian American community.
With over 1,775 reviews on Yelp and 81% of DTF comparisons favoring Supreme Dumplings.
Outside each location, you’ll often find a line of eager diners—some waiting more than 45 minutes for a table. Why? Because once you’ve tasted their steamed Xiao Long Bao, there’s no going back.
“Worth every second of the wait,” one Yelp user wrote, while another raved, “Finally! A dumpling spot that takes authenticity seriously.”
A Fusion of Flavors: Innovation Rooted in Tradition
While Supreme Dumplings proudly upholds Taiwanese culinary traditions, it’s no stranger to creativity. Their Szechuan Spicy Dumplings, Braised Beef Buns, and Golden Lava Custard Buns offer diners an adventurous twist. Every menu item is a blend of classic recipes and modern palates—carefully crafted by a powerhouse culinary team.
Meet the Masterminds:
1. Chef Peter Wang: Former Executive Chef at W Hotel Taipei, trained in Taiwan’s master-apprentice system.
2. Chef Norman Lu: Once the head chef at Din Tai Fung’s original central kitchen, revered for his precision.
