Chubby Dumplings—MICHELIN GUIDE GOURMAND

Chubby Dumplings Anaheim is such a gem! Really neat to Disney! The wonton bowl is honestly the best I’ve ever had — the chili sauce is super addictive and gives it the perfect kick. I also loved the yellow custard bun, so soft and satisfying with just the right amount of sweetness. You can tell their dumplings are freshly made and the texture and flavor are on point. Everything came out fast and hot, and the space has a fun, welcoming vibe. Definitely coming back to try more!

Great food, friendly staff, and quick service for how busy they were on my visit. Stopped in for take out during the Disney Half Marathon weekend. Despite the place being completely packed the staff were all great, for was prepared pretty quick for how many were ahead of us, and tasted great. Definitely recommend the dumplings, of course. But we also tried the noodles. Seating is limited, but ended up finding a spot along the wall bar in the back. Would def return for dumplings again. But I would try and order ahead for takeout to save time.

The only pleasant part of my experience with this place with this place was my Uber driver who dropped the food off to my hotel. My crispy pork dumplings showed up steamed which wasn't the end of the world BUT when I bit into it and the inside was raw. It wasn't just one order of dumplings either. They both were raw. My daughter ate her soup dumplings before I ever got a chance to check them so I hope those were actually cooked. The chicken egg rolls were cooked but we're pretty blah. I was really hoping this place would have been good but alas it was terrible. I ended up with no dinner after a long day at Disney. Save your money and go elsewhere. There's nothing Michelin or legendary about this place.

I had high expectations for Chubby Dumpling based on its stellar ratings and a mention in Michelin. Unfortunately, my experience didn't quite live up to the hype. The garlic dry noodle lacked the depth of flavor I was hoping for and tasted rather bland. The soup dumplings, while decent, were simple and lacked the refinement I associate with high-quality dumplings. Overall, the experience was not superb. The food was a bit above average, a middle-of-the-road affair--not spectacular. To be fair, we did order to go, which might have affected the quality. We'll definitely give it another shot by dining in next time. The place look clean and modest. Not crowded and it took a while for someone to come out to the counter and greet us. May have been a bad day.

I thought this place might be a bit pricey for the food, but then I tried the food and was blown away. If you like pho or dumplings, you’re in the right place. The food was hot and fresh. The service was great. I do think it’s a little on the pricier side, but then I factor in that you’re in downtown Anaheim eating quality food. Will you go fill that up please and get it I gotta take the lid off for you to put water in it.

First of all, the classic pork dumplings were UNREAL!! Seriously, sooooo good! Everything we got was tasty, and we were particularly surprised by the cucumbers — have never had anything like it and we all loved them! Would go back here in a heartbeat. Only ding (if any) is the guys working there were not very friendly. They weren’t rude but just very serious and not warm. But, if you can make dumplings like this then who needs warmth, right!?

The veggie dumplings were absolutely on point! The blend of shiitake mushrooms and other yummies can't be beat. I also tried the scallion pancakes. I think they're better described as scallion fried crackers. I'll just say, not a fan. I've eaten much better. Too thin to have soft middle and too heavy on the oil. Your choice. Service was normal, but fast sitting lunch. Atmosphere was plain. Everything was pretty clean that visit. Folks around me were eating ramen so I'll be back for that soon with a serving of dumplings for sure!

I ordered food from here last night to be delivered and overall it was pretty disappointing. I ordered the pork soup dumplings, which were like any frozen store bought dumplings, they were also missing the garlic vinegar. I ordered the szechuan spicy wontons and what I got was wontons swimming in a terrible sweet and sour sauce, with a few julienne cucumbers and a couple chili flakes, no spice at all. Too bad becasue of all the food these wontons were actually pretty good. The signature sesame noodles were awful. It was just one overcooked ball of noodles with very little sauce. This place is touting themselves off a bib gourmand that seems like it wasn't even meant for this restaurant. When instead what you get is no better (possibly worse) than any standard quick service restaurant. I was excited to try this place out and it ended up being a complete waste of money when I ended up throwing much of my food in the garbage.

The food was so delicious. The staff is amazing. The place is super clean and my food came out so fast, I didn't even have time to sit down after using the bathroom. Shout out to Xavier for helping me understand the menu and order what i wanted!

We were in the area on a visit to Disneyland, and wanted something not heavily battered and fried to a crisp. Chubby Dumplings offered something each member of our family could enjoy: noodle soup, plenty of dumplings, with a side of fresh veggies. We placed our order through their online ordering platform, and it was ready within 10-15 minutes. We didn't actually stay to eat, just came by and picked up our food. The restaurant was packed and they had plenty of to go orders lined up and ready to be picked up. Everything was delicious in its own little way, but I would for sure go back for their crispy scallion pancakes and wontons. The dry garlic noodles were a bit salty for our taste, but still edible! If you're looking for more authentic dishes, there's a Din Tai Fung in Downtown Disney. But if you're looking for convenience and a warm meal, Chubby Dumplings is the spot to go!

Was hoping for some good quality OC dumplings but this place disappointed me. Our pork soup dumplings stuck together so all the juice leaked out from our dumplings. The consistency of the pork filling seemed slightly underdone. One of our 5 spice chicken baos was not properly steamed and the bao was not fluffy but dense bread. The noodles with the bok choy was the best item we ordered. I do not recommend this restaurant, don't understand how it received a Michelin Bib Gourmand award.

The 1,000+ reviews that this place has should not be transferred onto this rebranded "restaurant." 3 words: soy sauce water Was convinced that I needed to try this place--but only met with disappointment. I've never had ramen so bland--blander than cup noodles but 15x more expensive. Why have so many employees if there is just one screen menu to order from and the food is going to taste this bland?

I was excited to try this place because it's part of the chubby group and I liked chubby cattle and mikiya. There's only 4 menu items with beef and 2 were sold out at 1pm. Soup dumplings - skin too thick and very little filling Potstickers - good crunch but thick skin and not enough filling Peking noodles - disgusting, that sauce was terrible Spicy wontons - not spicy, skin too thick Nothing here was good and it's not cheap at all since all the portions are small. You order from a kiosk so not much service. Free parking in this plaza so that was nice.

We recently visited Chubby Dumplings in Anaheim and was pleasantly surprised an authentic-ish place was just a stone's throw away from the Disneyland Park and several hotels (we stayed at Hotel Lulu and it was just around the corner) The self-serve kiosk made ordering a breeze, and the service was incredibly fast. While most of the things we ordered were pretty good, things seemed small portion wise and some of the dishes like the mouth-numbing noodle dish, in particular, was way too salty - even for someone who enjoys Mala and have eaten many versions of this elsewhere! That being said, there were plenty of other options to choose from, and I appreciated the variety. Overall, I'd recommend Chubby Dumplings for its convenient location and quick service, plus getting variety other than American fare on this street.

Staying at a nearby hotel for a few days and found this little gem on Yelp. I think they are still in their soft opening. Located near the Hyatt House plaza and not far from the neighborhood Disney hotels. Modern ordering yourself with the walk up kiosk. Great menu, slightly pricey for casual food but the quality of noodles and flavors were worth it. We samples the soup dumplings, scallion pancakes, sesame noodles, and crunchy pork & chicken dumplings. The food was very tasty which is why the Michelin award for the chef is on display. Only criticism is my son found the spicy ramen too hot, so be forewarned if you can't tolerate spice. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Eager to please. We took our food to-go back to our hotel and the meal traveled well. I would highly recommend this place if you're in the area. I plan to visit again when I am visiting Disney.

This place was amazing. The food tasted pretty good. I'd define go again. Food is reasonably priced. Parking can be a bit hard. We parked on the back of the hotel parking lot that is connected to the store. The store sits below a hotel. This place can get pretty busy. They cook the food fast and get your order completed in a timely manner. There is a self service kiosks where you can order the food that you want.

The family and I stopped in here for dinner after a long drive from the valley to Anaheim to spend a couple of days at Disneyland. Unfortunately, while the food was solid, there were some glaring cleanliness issues that made the experience less than stellar. First, when we got to the table we planned to sit at, it was dirty. There was no one available to clean it, so we grabbed the spray bottle and towel ourselves. While the guy behind the counter seemed friendly enough, it's frustrating to have to clean our own table when dining out. After finishing our meal, I went to grab a refill on ice and noticed something disturbing. There was mold or bacterial growth along the side of the soda machine, likely caused by water buildup or a leak. Upon closer inspection, the entire machine looked grimy. The top was dusty and just waiting to drop something nasty into a cup. This was really disappointing because all four of us genuinely enjoyed the food. Our meal came to about $100 for the four of us. Expect to spend $15-$20 per person at this place. The quality of the food made me want to give this place four stars, but the sanitary issues were hard to overlook. Honestly, if the food hadn't been as good as it was, this would've been a two-star review. But the cleanliness, especially the state of that soda machine, makes me worry about the condition of the kitchen we couldn't see. For now, three stars--but if the management prioritizes cleanliness and maintenance, this place has real potential.

we got the pork dumplings crunch skin, pork soup dumplings, and spicy wontons. the dough of the dumplings did not taste fresh. friendly and helpful workers, clean restaurant, order on kiosk private, free, & limited parking outside

The recent reviews here are mixed, but with 4 stars and 900+ reviews along with the "Michelin bib" advertising, we were intrigued. But y'all... I gotta side with the lower reviews. The marketing worked - it got us in the door. But the food...meh, skip this and just go for din tai fung or another dim sum spot. They've got a prime location in Anaheim. Not sure what parking is like, but if you're coming here, it's very likely that you're staying within walking distance at a nearby hotel, like we were. It's not hard to find as it's right off the main road. It's very much a fast food looking spot with very little interaction with the staff. When we got there, there was no line and not a whole lot of people waiting for food and we were directed to order from the kiosk (funny enough, there was an employee literally behind the kiosk just waiting for us to finish our order so she could take the receipt to get started). No big though, don't need interaction for the food to taste good! The restaurant is small and they have a handful of tables if you'd like to dine in. We ended up just taking it to-go. And the food was good, not great, but good. + pork soup dumplings ($11.50 for 6 pcs): flavor was good, but the wrapping kept falling apart and was pretty soggy. We couldn't really pick it up without the wrapping breaking and the soup spilling out. + bbq pork bao ($6 for 2 pcs): maybe my favorite thing that we got. Very good, but small + pork potstickers ($11.50 for 6 pcs): tasty but very greasy + wonton ramen soup ($13.50): ok I really appreciated the to-go container for this. Soup was good, but it still tasted like fast food pho. Overall, not bad, not great, just mid. I'd say pass on this one and go to a different spot.

Stayed at a hotel nearby and was able to walk to this location. Hustling and bustling with tons of people eating on location and also tons of people ordering take out. All foods are served in take out containers for easy disposal but trash was stacked up in multiple areas as all the trash cans were full too. Flavors were good and solid for the area. SUPER SMALL SPACE, hard to find seating inside. People are very kind and friendly and service is pretty quick. Food is fresh as we can see them making it!

Walking distance to Disney, located in the Hyatt House on Katella. The interior is clean and relaxing, with chill music playing. We had the Pork Soup Dumplings, both pan fried and steamed. Also had the Teriyaki Chicken Bao, Curry Chicken Bao, and BBQ Pork Bao. Great choices! Self-serve water is available. Service was good.

I had high hopes for this place since it was on the Michelin Guide but I was pretty disappointed in the food. I felt like the XLB wasn't as soupy as other places and the soup felt pretty salty. I would say the best thing was the spicy wontons but even then the wonton itself felt like it was missing something. We also got the spicy wonton ramen, a little surprising to find ramen in a wonton soup but it tasted a little off, the broth was similar to the wonton soup found at Costco LOL. Service was quick and the place gets pretty busy since it's close to DisneyLand. There's not a lot of seating since the store is pretty small and they only use take out containers. There free parking and the staff was all very friendly!

Chubby Dumplings is a hidden gem! Everything I tried was amazing, from the dumplings to the noodle soups. The dumplings are perfectly cooked with delicious fillings, and the noodle soup broth was rich and flavorful--seriously, it's the little things like the broth that really stood out. The flavors were spot on, and you can tell they really take their time to prepare each dish. Whether you're in the mood for dumplings or a comforting bowl of soup, Chubby Dumplings has got you covered. Highly recommend!

Chubby Dumplings is a very good fast Chinese joint, especially for a place within walking distance of Disneyland. I went for a stolen grown-up dinner with friends while our children slept in our respective hotels. My friends were staying in the Hyatt House, where Chubby Dumplings is located, and we were delighted to learn that their baby monitor worked from the restaurant. A couple of cons up front. Our particular circumstances aside, the location is not great. The signage was obscured when I went, and I ended up making like four separate U-turns on these giant Disney-adjacent streets before finally getting to a parking lot with zero available parking. I only got a spot because my friends were staying at the hotel, and I'm really not sure where customers are supposed to park. It's not like there are meters on Katella. The restaurant was small and brightly lit with a super casual, low-service set-up. We ordered from a tablet on a counter, barely interacting with the few humans on the other side, though they seemed perfectly pleasant and ready to help. No alcohol, which was too bad, but I had a fountain Diet Coke while my friends had fancy sparkling yuzu sodas. The place was surprisingly busy at 9:00 on a Friday night, but we were able to grab seats along a back counter. Our food came out quickly in about a thousand black plastic containers. I get that this place does a lot of delivery and takeout, but reusable dishware would be nice for dine-in customers. The dumplings were definitely the highlight of our meal. We tried both varieties of soup dumpling, the classic pork and the pork and crab. I can't swear I could tell the difference, but both were delicious, soupy and flavorful, with delicate skins and hot-but-not-scalding insides: pork shoulder with a bit of ginger and green onion, and pork shoulder with a bit of ginger, green onion, and blue crab. They were extra good with a dash of garlic vinegar. The pan-fried pork dumplings were another winner, savory and dripping with pork juice. I also liked the Szechuan blaze wontons with pork and shrimp and the curry chicken bao, which were like the curry buns you might find in a Japanese convenience store. We supplemented our dumplings with some noodles, scallion pancakes, and vegetables. The spicy mala dry noodles looked good and had decent texture but were perplexingly bland, to the point where we wondered if the kitchen had forgotten some key ingredient. Big disappointment. The scallion pancakes were just okay, on the thin, hard side. Steamed garlic bok choy was solid, though, and I loved the addictive, vinegary sweet and sour cucumbers, an ideal side with all our meaty dumplings. I'm not sure I'll make it back to Chubby Dumplings given its inconvenient location, and the fact that if I'm this close to Disneyland, I'm probably chained to the park/my children. I'm glad I got to go, though. A night of Chinese food and adult company was a lovely treat.

It's definitely not the same place it was when I went one year ago. Not only has the name changed but, the entire menu too. The food was excellent in the past. Very flavorful. Not anymore. Very bland. Lacking flavor. The service was fine. That was about the only thing good about it. I would bet that this place will be short lived and go out of business within a matter of months. That's unfortunate because the previous business that was at this location was really good. Don't waste your money here. Go find better ramen or dumplings somewhere else.

After a day at Disneyland, we were craving something warm and soupy. We found Chubby Dumplings nearby and decided to give them a try. The parking situation is a little difficult. There is a parking lot, but it is small, and a handful of spots are 30-minute only for the Walgreens customers. Inside, there's a kiosk where you can submit your order, and the food comes out pretty quickly which is a plus! We ordered the pork soup dumpling, crispy chicken dumpling, and the steak angus ramen. The pork soup dumpling was good. The skin was thinner than other places I've tried and ripped several times, but the flavor was good. The crispy chicken dumpling was my favorite! The filling was tasty, and the skin was so crispy on the bottom. The steak angus ramen I believe is their version of a beef noodle soup. The broth was flavorful with a slight hint of sweetness to it. The beef was tender, and the soup was piping hot.

Dumplings were good ! This is a nice little spot. Not as accessible as I thought but there's also 2 entrances. Service was good, I had ordered Togo so when I got there it was already ready for pick up. Overall 3/5. Nice little spot, quick food.

Came here for the first time on a Friday afternoon around 3 PM. It's order at the counter & pick up at the counter. Soup Dumplings - Soup inside dumpling is evident. Good flavor. IMO, skin is slightly too thin, but none of them broke while picking up, so I guess it still works. Potstickers - Slightly better than average flavor. Would have liked it slightly more crispy. Beef Udon - Strangely sweet. I was expecting more savory. Noodle texture was good - bouncy. Meat flavor was also good. Overall, it's not the best food I've had, but it was slightly better than average. I would have given it 4/5 stars if it wasn't was the strangely sweet beef udon.

Very disappointed at the place. Was in Anaheim for a conference, found this place which got a Michelin BIB (not a star) spot. Decided to check it out for lunch. The wait was over an hour, from I got to the spot, to ordering, to them forgot my order, to me taking everything to go. The xiao long bao was extremely overrated. The wrap and the interior looked and tasted non-authentic, super salty, and not fresh. Pot stickers are better but the receptionist told me that since everyone ordered pork or chicken potstickers so my beef ones had to wait extra 25 mins. What was worse was that they even forgot my order in the middle of everything. I know it was busy during lunch but at least be nice about it.... Also if you don't like MSG in your food, definitely do not try this spot. GGs

What a disappointment! How could this restaurant be up for nomination: Michelin potential? Take your money somewhere else: the food is horrible. Greasy! Lack taste. And the cleaning seating area was bad! We ordered pancakes and they were overcooked: burnt! Chili wonton was greasy! Even McDonald ms may be better!

Came here when we were trying to find some food that would be close by and quick. Unfortunately it wasn't very quick because they make everything to order (a good thing), but the soup dumplings come premade. Everything (even people eating there) is given in to go containers which may not be the best environmental move. It's a very small place. You order on the iPad, they have a few people in the kitchen which takes up the majority of the place, and all the condiments and utensils are available for you to pick up. Imagine coffee shop but they serve dumplings. Pros: all the dumplings are pretty good quality (even the premade soup dumplings) Cons: don't order the kung pao sauce with wontons. Way too much sauce and it really took away from the food itself. The wontons would probably be best ordered dry and you can add in the chili oil they have on your own.

Not a real Luscious Dumpling despite the name on the door and at the top of the building!! Receipt was listed under Chubby Dumplings. So disappointed in the food. All the soup dumplings came out in plastic containers instead of actual steamers, which I feel ruined the texture and the soup inside the dumplings. All the dumplings were stuck together so every time you'd pull them apart they would break and the soup would leak out. This place is definitely more of a fast food joint unlike the location in Monrovia. Not to mention they did not have plain black vinegar and plain ginger. When asked they only had garlic vinegar and pickled ginger (the one you get at sushi restaurants). This place is also not cheap. We had 2 orders of soup dumplings which came out to $30 after tip. Save your time and money and eat somewhere else!! Edit: 1 day after posting this review they changed their name on Yelp to Chubby Dumpling. This place is full of red flags, RUN!

I hate giving bad reviews because I know how hard restaurants work but for this one I cannot lie! They said they earned a Michelin star but from what I experienced the food was subpar. Everything was not fresh, instead it tasted premade. I saw them take the noodles out of a prepackaged bag and warm it up. The spicy wontons was lacking flavor and the soup dumplings were ok. I gave them two stars because of the service and the cleanliness of the restaurant. I really wanted it to be good because it was so close to us.

So yummy! I managed to find this the night before my conference began, so there wasn't a line (unlike a day later when I tried to go back). The dumplings were reasonably priced and excellent. I got pork potstickers (their self-proclaimed bestseller), bbq bao, and a scallion pancake. The potstickers were delish, as were the bao (are they ever bad?). The pancakes were light and flaky but I wish they tasted more like scallion. I also got some soup dumplings - SO GOOD!! Definitely worth a trip to this little place.

Need to try! We were staying at a nearby hotel and decided to try this place, we ordered to go. We had the Angus Steak Rice Bowl, 2 orders of Siu Mai and the piggy bun yellow custard. Eveything was delicious! The angus steak was so tender! Siu mai was pricey and only came with 3 pcs, so a little bummed with that. Yellow custard bun was great too! We would definitely come back to try the other items! They also come in reusable containers, which was great to reuse at home. Inside of the shop was small, but well lit and bright. Spills here and there but nothing thats too dirty. They were friendly and quick too even though there was a lot of people inside.

Feels like a McDonald's version of dumplings it's good but you know there's better the vegan option is really good tho

What a pleasant surprise!!! We ordered Wonton Ramen Soup, Sesame Noodles, Szechuan Spicy Wonton, Pork Dumplings, and Vegan Dumplings. The broth for the soup was excellent. It was rich and flavorful, and the wontons were delicious. Everything was very good, except the vegan dumplings. They were a bit disappointing, as they had little to no taste .. which was odd because everything else was wonderfully flavorful. You order on a touchpad. I wish they had a bottle of hand sanitizer next to it. The staff was helpful and friendly, and busy. Casual atmosphere. Highly recommend this surprising little restaurant.

First time dining at this location. I have been to others and I felt it was way better. At this location, the staff wasn't as friendly. When we entered the store, the staff kept stating to us to scan the QR code for the menu. Even when we entered the store many times to get utensils or water, they told us the same thing. Felt like they didn't even look at our faces to realize we were the same customers that just ordered. We ordered the beef bowl and I was surpised how tasty it was. Not authentic but more Americanized style beef bowl. Cost around $13 and it was quite a large portion so you can share. They even sell piggy buns which more flavor inside. Interior of the dining area was clean and nicely air conditioned. They even had a shared outdoor patio area.

Was so disappointed.. ordered delivery from chubby dumpling, we were around 2 miles away from location and ate it as soon as it came. Food: -Pork Soup Dumpling (no picture) As other people have complained, coming in the container it comes in makes the texture super odd. There was barely any soup in the dumpling. The meat itself tasted good, but the soggy texture of the wrap mixed with no soup made it felt like overpriced Trader Joe's soup dumplings..... they also did not give me the vinegar as indicated, and instead gave me soy sauce. This felt rather unacceptable for the price paid. -Mala Dry Noodles: This disappointed me most. I lived in China for four years for university, and spent a lot of that time in Sichuan Province. I should've had lower expectations on what it would taste like. It was very heavy on chili, which was good, but absolutely no mala spice whatsoever. I wanted that tingle! The noodles weren't mixed and it felt impossible to mix it after receiving the dish cold. The bok choy was yummy, though. Was a little thrown off with the pickled ginger in there, but made it edible. It was also so ridiculously salty, I felt quite dehydrated after eating it. Pork buns (no picture); These were my boyfriend's and so I did not try them. He said they were fluffy and had a satisfactory amount of meat inside. He enjoyed the taste, and they did not seem to have any textual issues caused by delivery. Overall: There are way better places for the money in the area and I would not give it another chance, especially for the price tag. I do not understand how this place is on the Michelin Guide. I would recommend the restaurant figure out a better way to do delivery that won't ruin the texture/taste of the food, as well as delivering it hot and not room temperature. It could also be from the cold from that day, so I won't knock off points for the temperature it was delivered at. Giving it two stars for the meat flavor inside the dumpling, fast delivery, and my boyfriend's satisfaction with the pork buns.

I really enjoyed this place, although it's a little unusual. I found the dumplings and particularly the scallion pancakes to be really excellent and frankly competitive with DTF down the block at a lower price point. The aesthetics of the place leaves something to be desired--I think I was there at a soft opening so at the time it was pretty bare-bones as far as almost just looking like a ghost kitchen, since all the ordering was done online, even in person. I very much appreciate that they stay open fairly late and that there's available parking (if the lot isn't full.) The pricing is still likely going to be higher than your local dumpling place, but I found it acceptable for someplace right across the street from Disneyland. Recommended. (Disclosure: Visit was back in 9/24)

Good but very pricey. Small portions for the price. The food was delivered to my driveway and no one called to let us know it was there.

My wife and I were craving dimsum while we were in the Anaheim area and we saw this one on Yelp. We tried the curry beer bowl, noodle soup, and crab dumplings. First of all there prices were not bad, meals were 20-15 dollars. The curry beef bowl was a little salty for me but the beef was tender. The noodle soup was ok, nothing ground breaking but it's good comfort food. The crab dumpling was nice and juicy. There are minor things here and there that could be worked on but overall a good dining experience.

Went here while down in Anaheim and had some time for lunch while at a Christian event. My favorite were the dumplings and the pot stickers. You get plenty with one order. Thier noodles were good too. The we had a chicken curry rice which also was near the top of my favorites.

I've heard great things about Luscious and had to try it myself! The service was very quick here, I ordered xiao long bao and the scallion pancake. There is seating indoors and outdoors. I enjoyed the xiao long bao! I thought the skin was very thin and not too doughy. The scallion pancake was the most crispy pancake I've ever had!! I loved the crisp, but there was a lot of excess oil when it was served. I'd love to come again and try more things on the menu!

The service here was super nice and quick, which we really appreciated. The ambiance felt very touristy, likely because it's located underneath the hotel. The food itself was good, though a bit pricey for what it is, but that's to be expected given its close to Disneyland. The only issue we had was with the soup dumplings; the dough was too sticky and tended to fall apart, which made them difficult to enjoy. It's a good spot for tourists, if you want to try something new!

All the food was so yummy. This place isn't busy, but it's also a weekday at lunch time. The people are very nice. My tummy is happy.

The food was good, I liked the pork shawarma dumplings with the chili sauce, The little piggy decorated buns with pudding inside were good too, but I was disappointed that for eating in the restaruant everything was served in plastic take-out bowls. A lot of plastic waste. I recommend they use compost bowls or dishes at least for those eating there.

It makes me so sad to write this, because I generally am a very positive and optimistic person, but it was a pretty disappointing experience and I sincerely hope that this review brings attention to some quality measures that need to be looked after or trained more completely. First... the closed sign was on the door, but people were inside. I checked the hours and they were supposed to be open, so I tried the door and the guy behind the counter said they were open but hadn't changed the sign... well, that should have been my first clue about the level of consideration that might be experienced. The cashier pointed to the sign on the counter with a QR code and said- the menu is there- which is fine if you're adept with QR codes, but also feels a bit like, "here, do it yourself". Even though I still had to actually give my order to the cashier and pay directly- it just came off with an attitude like, don't bother me if you don't have to. I don't know if it was a bad day or what, but it didn't feel very welcoming. The scallion pancake took about 6min, and the soup dumplings took more like 15min. Unfortunately, the scallion pancake was so oily, I ended up needing to use napkins to help soak up some of the oil so it wouldn't drip on the table or on my shirt. I've never had a scallion pancake that oily, and the oil itself was so dense that it was hard to taste any scallion or pancake, it all just tasted like oil that had crunch. I used the vinegar they provided on the counter to help cut through the oil and add some flavor, but it still didn't seem to help, and after two slices I felt like it was too late to ask for a refund on the rest. The soup dumplings were supposed to be the saving grace, the star of the show, but unfortunately they too were disappointing. The flattened noodle covered meatballs that may have once contained soup, did not survive whatever the cooking strategy was or the way they were moved from being cooked into the take out box they were served in. A small hint of soup that may have formerly been in one or two of the dumplings was in a puddle on the bottom of the cardboard box, while the rest of the dumplings seemed completely bereft of soup with only trace flavors of what may have been formerly frozen or solidified broth formerly surrounding the pork balls and had managed not to escape some crevice of the dumpling folds. It all just made me so sad that whoever made the food must not actually eat it or even like it to have cooked it in such a way that none of what makes these things tasty could actually be tasted.

Solid 3+ stars. I have every intention of returning and hoping to upgrade my rating. Located right outside of Disneyland, this restaurant has everything in the making to be a go-to gem. Trendy, simple, excellent food. Customer service was great. You order at the counter and seat yourself. Food is served in a to-go box but I feel the quality of the food is good enough to be served on a platter for some self-social media, IG-worthy postings. The signs are not yet permanent as it still says soft-opening. I hope this place makes itself more official as it has the potential to make its mark. But I do plan on returning. Pro tip: parking is tricky and limited . Entrances are at the corner of Harbor and Katella, behind the Walgreens. Parking available at the Hyatt structure and yes they'll validate with proof of your receipt. Which is a bit troublesome but it works.

Nothing special here. - food is fair (lacking items seen on website) - you do everything yourself here (order from 1 tablet, clean your table, pick up food, get drinks, etc) ...but of course there's a tipping option when ringing in your own stuff - ordered 3 different types of dumplings for $40 = not worth it

We ordered 2 rice bowls (the pork and the beef ones), cucumbers, pork bao, and crispy dumplings. Everything was so delicious! I could've eaten the cucumbers all night! We had the food delivered and it came quickly. My only complaint is that they did not include utensils and we had to venture out from our hotel to get some.

Every dish we tried was not good. -egg rolls: if we were blindfolded, would have guessed it was Panda Express -peanut noodles: it was just gross, tasted like noodles in ONLY salty peanut butter with unseasoned steamed Bok Choy -dumplings: just okay, not terrible My boyfriend loves all foods...he thought it was not good/worth it. Michelin definitely missed the mark on this one...

A very casual place to grab some food. Parking is towards the back. They're a Michelin Bib Gourmand place, so that means the food tastes great but is available to people at a more affordable price than actual Michelin restaurants. Service - It was okay! Nothing to praise but also nothing to critique. You could tell they're doing their best to get food orders done. I'm sure it's super tiring since there's only a few of them. Always remember to give some grace to people and be understanding! Food - Taste wise, everything was really good! Imo, the XLB skin was pretty nice. Not too thin but not too thick. Soft but has a slight chew. Mine were the vegan ones though, I saw my mom's regular XLBs and they did look on the wet side since they have the soup. However, my hard to please mother still liked them. Seaweed salad was sooooo good. Lovely sweet and sour type of flavor. My mother complimented the chashu bun too! Spicy garlic noodles were delicious. Wonderful flavor! Not super heavy on garlic taste but still hd a nice fragrance to it. Overall, this was a lovely place! I would totally be down to come here again.

Ordered 2 orders of soup dumplings, crispy scallion pancakes, bbq buns, chicken potstickers, garlic noodles & drinks. This was over $80 of food! When the food arrived, we did not receive either order of soup dumplings, scallion pancakes, bbq buns or one of the drinks. The restaurant didn't try to contact us about the items we wouldn't receive. Instead they send 3 orders of chicken potstickers, a different flavor of buns & vegetarian dumplings. I will not be ordering from here again.

Honestly feel bad for this place. It had good business tonight...maybe too good. They only have one guy working the register and 2 guys manning the kitchen. Restaurant had at least 50 people waiting in line, but either they or the customers were screwing up left and right...causing a bigger back up. The poor guy at the register was about to lose it.

This place is amazing highly recommended! My wife and I tried different kind of buns all were tasty a little smaller than I expected, but the flavor was great! The Siu mai is one of my favorite siu mai I have tried in Socal, finally the Angus steak rice bowl is awesome, the angus steak is so tender and for $13 it's totally worth it! The service is quick as well we only waited for about 10-15min to get our order.
