Dumpling Time, a modern take on traditional Asian dumplings with five Bay Area locations, has opened at The Warehouse Food Hall at 370 S. 8th St. in downtown Boise. The opening, on Friday, November 6, 2026, marks the chain's first location outside California.

Why it matters

The Boise location gives local diners access to the brand's popular dishes in a fast-casual format. Operator Omakase Restaurant Group said the food hall's energy and casual atmosphere suits the concept.

Dumpling Time's Boise location is open Monday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Shrimp Toast and Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken cost $14, and a Seafood Dumpling order costs $15.

Dining Landscape

The opening extends Omakase Restaurant Group's presence in Boise, following its earlier Raibu Sushi Bar at 808 W. Fort St. Dumpling Time's move into Idaho marks the chain's first expansion beyond its California base.

Boise diners can now order Dumpling Time's dishes downtown without traveling to California. The menu's $8 to $22 price range gives a sense of what a visit will cost.
