Here’s a quick column to share the news about a local restaurant opening.
Mom’s Dumpling opened late last week in Davis Commons. It fills the former Halal Guys spot at 500 First St., Suite 7 in downtown Davis.
Steamed dumpling dishes feature cuttlefish; shrimp; mackerel; black pepper beef; zucchini, egg and shrimp; and pork, cheese and corn. Fried, round soup dumplings on the menu include pork and Shengjian Mantou. Other pan-fried ones are beef and triple delight.
But its menu has more than dumplings. Other specials include pork ribs and pork trotters (pigs’ feet), boiled chicken, fried chicken wings, beef hot pot, hot and sour soup, spring rolls, potato shreds, cold mixed wood-ear mushrooms, spicy cucumber salad and mixed vegetables.
The restaurant appears to be catering to international students with its motto, “Feeling homesick? Have some dumplings.”
Hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, to start. Enjoy!

Update: I spoke with one of their employees in-person. They said that they are still in soft opening mode, so the hours are subject to change. As for now, as you've said, they are closed in the afternoon between 200pm ~ 500pm. And they've removed any mention of their business hours from their front door and windows. Well, I wish them luck!
Hi, Wendy. I don't know what's going on with this restaurant, but they've been closed in the afternoon between 200pm ~ 400pm when I stopped by yesterday (TUE) and today (WED). Perhaps they are changing their hours to be dinner service only after 500pm (but the hours on their glass still state what you reported initially).
