Journey to the Dumpling, a beloved Elk Grove dumpling restaurant, is set to expand its culinary empire in the Sacramento region. According to a recent social media announcement, the restaurant will open its third location in Folsom's Palladio shopping center, joining its existing restaurants in midtown Sacramento and Elk Grove. This expansion marks an exciting development for food enthusiasts in the area.
Owner Yvonne Tan revealed that the new Folsom outpost will open in the second half of 2026, spanning a spacious 5,000 square feet. The restaurant's signature offerings include xiaolongbao soup dumplings, noodle plates, soups, and dim sum, all of which have garnered a loyal following in the region.
Journey to the Dumpling's journey began in October 2016 at Elk Grove's Laguna Crossroads, with its flagship location still thriving there. The midtown Sacramento spot, located at 1714 21st St., opened in November 2023 after a three-year delay, as previously reported by The Bee. This expansion is a testament to the restaurant's success and its commitment to bringing authentic Chinese cuisine to the Sacramento community.
The restaurant's growth in the region is a significant development, and it will undoubtedly attract new customers while satisfying the cravings of its existing fans. As Journey to the Dumpling continues to expand, it promises to bring a unique dining experience to Folsom, further enriching the culinary landscape of Sacramento.
