The Bellevue-based dumpling chain opened at the Pruneyard in Campbell on July 17, bringing its active Bay Area count to six — with no Form D filings on record and a sole-officer corporate structure consistent with a bootstrapped operation.

Dough Zone Dumpling House, the Bellevue-based dumpling chain, opened its newest Bay Area restaurant at 1875 S. Bascom Ave. in Campbell's Pruneyard shopping center around July 17, Mercury News food writer Linda Zavoral reported. The spot — patio seating between Trader Joe's and Humphry Slocombe — marks the chain's first South Bay footprint since its California debut roughly five years ago, per Zavoral.

The Campbell opening brings Dough Zone's active Bay Area locations to six: Cupertino, two in San Jose (Lundy Avenue in the north, Cherry Avenue in the south), Walnut Creek, Berkeley, and now Campbell. A seventh, in San Mateo, is listed as temporarily closed on the company's website.

On the money side, the chain has no public funding trail. SEC EDGAR searches for both "Dough Zone" and "Dough Zone USA Inc." — the Delaware-incorporated entity that appears to administer California operations — returned zero Form D filings. California ABC liquor license records show each Bay Area location operating under a separately numbered LLC (Dough Zone Nca01 through Nca05), all sharing a San Mateo mailing address. State records list Xuan Zhai as CEO, CFO, and Secretary of Dough Zone USA Inc. — a sole-officer structure consistent with an owner-operated business, not a venture-backed rollout.

Across four states, the chain now counts more than 24 locations — all without any disclosed outside capital on record per EDGAR. The specific LLC entity and local business permits for the Campbell location had not been confirmed at time of filing.
