Sacramento, get ready for a delicious expansion! The renowned dumpling house, Journey to the Dumpling, has just revealed its plans to conquer more taste buds in the area.
But wait, there's more! This beloved restaurant, already a hit in Elk Grove, is not stopping at just one new location. In a social media announcement on Monday, they shared their exciting news: a third branch is coming to Folsom Palladio in 2026. This expansion adds to their current restaurants in Midtown Sacramento and Elk Grove, doubling the fun (and dumplings)!
The post left fans eager for more details, but patience is a virtue. While the exact opening date and address remain a mystery, owner Yvonne Tan gave a sneak peek to ABC 10, confirming a 5,000-square-foot dining experience set to open in the latter half of 2026. And let's not forget the mouth-watering menu, featuring their famous xiaolongbao soup dumplings, noodle dishes, and dim sum delights.
The story of Journey to the Dumpling began in October 2016, when Yvonne and her husband, Chris, opened their first restaurant in Elk Grove's Laguna Crossroads. After a three-year wait, they expanded to Midtown Sacramento in November 2023, as reported by The Sacramento Bee. And now, they're taking on Folsom, ensuring that their delicious dumplings will be within reach for even more dumpling enthusiasts.
But here's where it gets controversial... Will the new location live up to the hype? Can they maintain the quality and charm that made them famous? Only time will tell, and the people of Sacramento will be the judges. So, are you team 'Dumpling Delight' or 'Expansion Overkill'? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
