A beloved dumpling restaurant chain is expanding its reach.

Dough Zone Dumpling House is set to open a new location in Thurston County at 2480 Marvin Rd in Lacey. 

Founded by Jason and Nancy Zhai in Bellevue in 2014, the chain has grown to 15 locations across Washington, and this new site will be an addition to their list.

The chain can also be found in California, Oregon and Texas.

“This marks a meaningful expansion for us—while Dough Zone has built a strong following in the Seattle and Eastside markets, this is one of our first steps into South Sound territory. It’s a new chapter for us, and we’re thrilled to introduce our signature dishes to a broader audience,” Marketing Manager Nancy Yun told What Now Seattle.

The Lacey location will feature a full-service dining experience, offering beloved favorites such as Xiao Long Bao, Pan Fried Pork Buns and crispy pan-fried dumplings. Guests can also indulge in delicious soup dumplings, a diverse selection of noodles and a variety of flavorful vegetable dishes.

“All dishes are made with the same care and consistency our guests know and love,” Yun said.

Dough Zone Dumpling House is scheduled to hold a soft opening on June 25, followed by a grand opening on June 26. They will also hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony on-site just before opening their doors in Lacey.
