Cali Dumpling

Cali Dumpling is a Southern California-based manufacturer and wholesaler of premium frozen Asian foods, specializing in dumplings, baos, egg rolls, and related products. Founded in 2020 by restaurateurs Candace and Allan Tea, the company emerged from a dumpling delivery service launched during the COVID-19 pandemic and has since grown into a multi-channel food brand serving retail, restaurant, and foodservice customers across the United States.

Operating from a USDA- and SQF-certified facility in Los Angeles, Cali Dumpling offers a comprehensive range of manufacturing and distribution solutions, including wholesale supply, retail-ready packaged products, and custom co-packing services. The company positions itself as a one-stop shop for businesses seeking high-quality frozen Asian food products backed by consistent, certified production standards.

A key differentiator for the brand is its USDA-certified Organic Dumpling Line, launched in 2023. This line is crafted with non-GMO, non-MSG ingredients and contains no artificial colors, preservatives, antibiotics, or hormones. The organic line reflects the founders' commitment to clean-label, family-friendly products that deliver restaurant-quality flavor without compromise. These products are currently available in over 60 retail locations across Southern California, including premium and specialty grocers such as Erewhon and 99 Ranch Market.

Beyond its consumer-facing brand, Cali Dumpling serves as a manufacturing partner for retailers, restaurants, and foodservice operators seeking reliable co-packing and private-label solutions in the frozen Asian food category. The company's SQF certification signals a rigorous commitment to food safety and quality management, making it a credible partner for buyers with strict supplier compliance requirements.

With roots in authentic Asian culinary traditions and a modern focus on clean ingredients and scalable production, Cali Dumpling bridges the gap between artisan food values and commercial manufacturing capability. Its product portfolio includes a growing variety of frozen dumplings in multiple flavor profiles, baos, and egg rolls—all designed to deliver bold, nostalgic flavor profiles inspired by traditional restaurant and home cooking.
