  • Flavorful, authentic-tasting dumplings
  • Clear, reliable cooking instructions
  • Convenient, quick home steaming
  • Thoughtful packaging with steamer liners
  • Occasionally thick dumpling skins
  • Modest soup volume inside
  • Oily, underwhelming noodle sauces
  • Inconsistent specialty dumpling quality

MìLà earns strong reviews for flavorful, easy-to-steam soup dumplings that taste close to restaurant quality, suggesting the brand works for at-home dim sum. Reviews also flag drawbacks: some dumpling skins run thick, soup volume can be modest, certain noodle dishes and sauces skew oily or bland, and occasional quality or service hiccups occur (missing bamboo steamer, cracked chocolate sesame dumplings).

  • I love Mila!! I picked up their frozen soup dumplings at Costco and was pleasantly surprised. When I opened the package, I noticed they were “half made,” so you finish cooking them by steaming at home. It totally makes sense why they taste so good—the dumplings aren’t fully cooked beforehand, so the final steaming keeps the skin soft and chewy. The flavor is really delicious, and even the kids love them. Definitely something I’ll keep buying!

  • Flavor hits. I bought two flavors: pho and pork from their website. Shipping made it to me safe and sound with everything still very much frozen. I see they have smaller packages in store and i wanted the larger ones from online. Like some reviews said, after streaming there isn't a ton of soup like you'd get from the fresh restaurant style soup dumplings, but the flavor is there (therefore, 4 stars). They puff up a bit when steamed but also quickly deflate. I also love that the packaging came with the steamer paper inside (saved me the trouble of getting some or finding some lettuce!). I bought the sauce trio too... Tasted just like the ones growing up, love that they had the ginger scallion one.

  • Dumplings are a good size and pretty flavorful. Not a ton of soup in them but still a great amount for a frozen, convenient option. Easy to make, I steamed using a steamer. Dip in some sauce and it’s a great quick meal.

  • These dumplings are fantastic - I always have a few bags stashed in my freezer for a quick dinner solution. I appreciate that they give you a paper steamer liner in each bag. They cook up perfect in a bamboo steamer. My favorite is the pork-shrimp variety, but the chicken is also tasty.

  • I have been a huge fan of these soup dumplings for awhile now. The chicken flavor is my favorite but they have a few others. I love that I can throw them in with my ramen OR go all out and steam them. Pro tip; find the dipping sauce that goes with them. MILA makes dumpling dipping sauce and it is Chefs Kiss!

  • Love all these products. Just tried the braised beef and it is a family hit. And it fits well into my noom diet! A fabulous healthy meal that tastes delicious…. My dog was begging for a taste too

  • I have tried their classic dumplings and they are so good! With the ease of taking it out of the freezer and microwaving it for a few minutes, it gives a nice side dish for your dinner table. The taste is very authentic chinese flavor and like a restaurant quality. I think the price point is good too with the quality and easy prep they provide. I also love their packaging of mimicking the dumplings to a hot air ballon lol

  • I'm a die-hard Trader Joe's soup dumpling fanatic, but these are so much better. The flavors are so much more reminiscent of authentic Chinese cuisine, and steaming them at home is actually a lot more fun, I realized. I also love that I'm not heating them up in the microwave like the TJ's ones… microplastics, anyone? Yikes!

  • I thought this was fantastic - bought the shrimp and pork. I was a little sad about the soup - it wasn't as prominent (maybe that was my fault cooking) but otherwise, I thought this was a super solid meal.

  • Absolutely delicious! Their customer service is also top notch. Dan Dan Noodle is my favorite. I like adding more chili to make even spicier. I enjoy all of their products but they don't sit well in my tummy unfortunately. I'd buy again!

  • dumplings are so delicious! the skin is a bit thick, but still very tasty! the chili sauce they provide is quite addicting

  • Mila has several dumpling flavors in the frozen aisles at Whole Foods. So far I have tried the pork soup dumplings. The cooking instructions are clear and easy to follow. Dumplings are pleasant in flavor with good ingredients (not too much fillers).

  • The savory dumplings are delicious and tastes authentic. However, the chocolate sesame dumplings I got from costco were very bad. All of the dumplings were cracked and after steaming, all of the filling came out through the cracks and everything just stuck together.

  • love these dumplings! it is easy and convenient to make. it is also very flavorful and taste just like the ones you can find in restaurants.

  • It's crazy these are frozen. I am an XLB connoisseur and these are amazing and so easy to make. The best frozen dumplings I've had, and even some Costcos carry them.

  • Delicious products, easy to prepare + sauces add complexity to the overall presentation an flavor. I highly recommend! + customer service is great. I had a problem with. my first order and they addressed it within 24 hours.

  • Mind-blown. Tried these before the rebrand, and have re-ordered since. Shockingly good. If you too have enjoyed the unparalleled delight of well-made soup dumplings in maybe Flushing, NY or Din Tai Fung, or some other dim sum or soup dumpling Mecca, only to try Trader Joe's soup dumplings only to find them utterly wanting...then MiLa is for you. If you even thought the Trader Joe's soup dumplings were good, these are also for you! Also, the noodle dishes they sell too are also delicious. In particular love the dan dan noodles. Their scallion oil dumpling sauce is also worthy of joining your cart, the vinegar and chili crisp are totally good too but nothing to write home about (and I prefer others tbh). Even if you make your own soup dumplings at home, I would still consider trying these. It is so easy to steam, and they are better than any soup dumplings I've gotten delivered, and almost as good as the best soup dumplings I've had at dim sum. On my first order, I had some issue with the discounts they were offering not showing up in my cart. After some back and forth, their customer service sent me an email invoice to pay with the exact amount it should have been discounted. Definitely respected them for that move and how quickly they were able to offer that solution. Shipping was mostly smooth, one of my orders was at the tail-end or arguably missed the initial delivery window, but still showed up frozen because of their heavy duty packaging. One more thing worth mentioning, founders include 2nd generation Chinese Americans and the dumplings taste more than authentic enough to me.

  • I initially learned about this company through ad bombardement in my instagrams account . I should have known that anything f comping through social media is pure scam. Anyway, unordered the kit not knowing somewhere hidden in the fine prints which I don’t remember one bit , I was pulled into a subscription service . I received the dumpling , nothing special or amazing about the quality . Noodles were blend and the frozen dumpling were a okay. Nothing to write home about . The delivery package is a huge waste . Talking about global waste . I guess half is the price is for packaging . Price wise too expensive . In any case, as I said ,, I had no idea I was signing up for a subscription and lo and behold I receive a not that my order in on its way . Tried contacting the robot customer service that I never signed up for this and there is no one at my apt to receive this and it will go to waste and their answer was sorry . There is no were on their website you can even cancel the damn thing . Which means I have to wait until some incompetent human being wakes up pacific time and can help me get out of this nightmare. I am beyond frustrated and feel I have been robbed and scammed . I will Never ever buy or will Trust a company like this . Throwing away $100. This company will get 1 star in customer service and 1 star in quality .

  • I tried this based on an instagram ad which isn’t always the most reliable source but these things are legit! My kids absolutely love them and they are so easy and quick to steam. I’m now a repeat customer.
