Flavorful - Edit
3rd visit and each time I’ve been impressed with the food and friendly service. Vegan selections plentiful and well marked. Today I had garlic tofu noodles and my husband has kimchi dumpling soup. Generous portions and just the right spice. We also started with the fresh spring rolls with added braised tofu - they were fresh and crunchy! We’ll definitely be back!

Delicious meal - Edit
This was my first time to this restaurant. It was bustling on a Friday night. There was a QR code that can be used to order from your phone but a server came and took our order.
Read moreI had the kung pao tofu and it was delicious. My friend got the ginger & scallion dumplings and really enjoyed them.
There are many vegan options and I look forward to returning again soon.

Funny Service, Good Food - Edit
We asked for vegan options. The waiter let us know that vegan food is not tasty! We ordered anyway, fresh rolls, some dumplings and noodles. He agreed with our choices. The food was good!

Just okay, weird experience - Edit
It's kind of frustrating not to be able to order with a server. I went to their website since my phone was having trouble scanning the qr code at the table. This led to a lot of confusion though. Ultimately it was kinda frustrating and somewhat overshadowed the actual eating experience. The food was just okay - I wouldn't rush to come back for it.

Great flavours, great experience - Edit
Lots of clearly labeled vegan options.
Read moreEverything we got was full of flavours. It is well felt that everything they do they do with dedication and love.
The portions were big, yet affordable. The atmosphere was also very welcoming. The staff we interacted with were all very nice and friendly.
We ordered pan fried dumplings, soup, and spicy garlic tofu with rice.
Pros: Great value (price, taste, size), Vegan friendly , Cozy and welcoming

Greasy but reasonable price - Edit
This is very greasy takeout style Chinese. It’s inexpensive and easy but a bit too oily for my taste.

Clearly labeled options! - Edit
We were super happy to see the clearly labeled vegan options on Mo’s menu! There were several options to choose from, including dumplings, noodle dishes, and rice dishes. My husband, who LOVES dumplings, thought that these were some of the best he’s ever had. We were also really impressed with the tofu teriyaki- super flavorful, great texture, and good portion size.

Vegan Chinese Dumplings - Edit
Mo's Dumpling is a contender to be the best Chinese restaurant on the westside and perhaps in all of Santa Cruz. I recently dined in once and did a large catering order for an event, and overall, solid 3.5 stars for both times.
Read moreTheir menu is huge and clearly marks options that are vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free. I their dumplings, scallion pancake, string beans, and noodles. Everything ranged from $10 - $17 so it can be as inexpensive or pricy as you like it to be.
I was a big fan of the string beans but found the dumplings to be average and the garlic noodles completely passable. I wish their veggie dumplings had a heartier filling but having the option itself is appreciated.
More recently, I worked with them on a catering order and it was easy calling and making our arrangements. All of our guests at my event loved the food, but I wasn't a fan of the food being nearly an hour late with little communication given to the cashier about what was happening. I think if I were to order from them again, I would need to make clear whether they could handle this type of order because being on time is important.
Overall, really enjoyed Mo's Dumpling and I hope to try them again soon.
Pros: Vegan Chinese options available

A gem in Santa Cruz! - Edit
Delicious food and great service. We had the pan fried vegetable/tofu dumplings, tofu spring rolls and garlic fried noodles. Everything was very flavorful. I look forward to trying more of their dishes. I haven’t found anything like this in Santa Cruz. It is really amazing!
