Supreme Dumplings is a Taiwanese dumpling restaurant at 14603 NE 20th St #4B, Bellevue, WA 98007, in Bellevue Marketplace near the BelRed and Crossroads areas. Its specialty is xiao long bao—Taiwan’s soup-filled steamed dumplings—alongside shareable Taiwanese and Chinese-influenced dishes, drawing travelers for delicate wrappers, rich broth and a menu built for a group meal.
What to Expect at Supreme Dumplings
The essential order is the signature xiao long bao. Each parcel is made with a thin wrapper around filling and hot broth; lift one carefully onto a soup spoon, add ginger and black vinegar to taste, then bite a small opening before eating. It is a focused, casual restaurant experience rather than a formal banquet room, with dishes designed to be passed around the table. Start with dumplings, then add a rice, noodle or wok dish to make the meal feel complete.
Beyond soup dumplings, the menu’s defining combination of crisp, savory and sweet dishes includes honey walnut shrimp, black truffle fried rice, fried pork chop, mini chive pies and pan-fried dumplings. Honey walnut shrimp brings a sweet-savory glaze and crunchy walnuts; the truffle fried rice is wok-tossed for a deeper, aromatic counterpoint to steamed dumplings. The restaurant identifies its cooking as a taste of Taiwan made for sharing, so two diners can sample several preparations while larger tables can build a broad spread.
- Signature Xiao Long Bao: Steamed Taiwanese soup dumplings with a delicate wrapper, filling and broth in one careful bite.
- Honey Walnut Shrimp: Crisp shrimp paired with a sweet-savory sauce and walnuts, ideal as a shared contrast to dumplings.
- Black Truffle Fried Rice: Wok-tossed fried rice with truffle aroma, substantial enough to anchor a dumpling-focused order.
- Fried Pork Chop: A golden, crisp pork dish that adds a richer, crunchy element to the table.
- Mini Chive Pies and Pan-Fried Dumplings: Golden-bottomed small bites for diners who prefer a crisp sear to steamed dumplings.
