Get ready for a dumpling adventure! The beloved Journey to the Dumpling is expanding its empire in Sacramento, and we're thrilled to share the details!
This popular Elk Grove gem is setting its sights on a third location in the heart of the capital region, and we can't wait to see it unfold.
But here's where it gets exciting: Journey to the Dumpling has officially announced its plans to open a new restaurant in Folsom Palladio, as revealed in a recent social media post. This exciting news has dumpling enthusiasts buzzing with anticipation!
While the exact opening date and address remain a mystery for now, owner Yvonne Tan has confirmed that this 5,000-square-foot culinary haven will welcome its first guests in the second half of 2026.
Journey to the Dumpling has already won over the hearts (and taste buds) of many with its mouthwatering xiaolongbao soup dumplings, delicious noodle plates, and an array of dim sum delights.
And this is the part most people miss: the story behind the success. Yvonne and her husband, Chris, embarked on this delicious journey in October 2016, opening their flagship restaurant at Elk Grove's Laguna Crossroads. After a three-year wait, they finally brought their culinary magic to midtown Sacramento in November 2023.
So, Sacramento, get ready to indulge in even more dumpling goodness! With its expanding presence, Journey to the Dumpling is set to become a staple in the region's food scene.
But here's the controversial part: do you think this expansion will maintain the same level of quality and authenticity that has made Journey to the Dumpling so beloved? Or is it a risky move that could dilute the brand's unique charm?
We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments! Are you excited about the new location? Do you think it will live up to the high standards set by the existing restaurants? Let's discuss and share our dumpling dreams!
