Dumpling House

We tried this restaurant for the first time this weekend, looking for a new (additional) spot for dumplings and more. We ordered the wonton in chili oil, pan fried pork buns, and hot & spicy fried rice. They started the meal with a complimentary scallion pancake, which was very good. Then our hot & spicy fried rice arrived. It was good, though not very spicy. We waited around 20 minutes and our pan fried pork buns arrived, all burst, with the soup more in the plate than in the buns. The dough wasn't quite right, fully gummy and soaked, as if it almost wasn't the right dish. They had been flipped upside down and were just a pile of mush, covered in a lot of oil, unlike any pan fried pork buns we've ever gotten. About 10min later, they tried to drop off another plate of (oily) dumplings at the table, that wasn't what we ordered. They took it back and double-checked our order on the paper and saw that we had ordered the wonton in chili oil, which came about 10min later. Overall a very mixed and long (for what it was) meal with some good food, some not-so-good, and lots of weird pacing. A couple of the servers were friendly and did check in on us a few times. Sidenote - I love chili oil but the one they had there wasn't my favorite - it's less spicy, more salted black soybean. No big deal there, just not my cup of tea.

Was a bit let down by the quality of the food. This place was so busy I thought the food would be really good. The dumplings were $13-14 for 8, and the sizes were good, but the wrappers were all broken and quite disappointing. The green onion pancake was free for order above $20, but were obviously store bought and very dry and not tasty. The interior was clean and staff are decent.

If you're a fan of authentic dumpling houses and bold flavors, this spot is a must-visit! 👍😋💯 It’s a small, unassuming hole-in-the-wall, but don’t let the size fool you the food is phenomenal. 🍜🤤👏 We ordered a variety of dishes, and each one delivered big on taste. 🥟🥢😋 I had the spicy fried rice (pro tip: it comes with chicken, even though it doesn’t say so on the menu). 🔥🌶️🍚 The flavor from the hot chili oil and black salted beans was out of this world. 🌎🌟✨ We also enjoyed the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), which were perfectly done. 💯😋👍 What really surprised me was the sautéed cabbage with Thai chili peppers so simple, yet packed with incredible flavor. 🥬🌶️🔥 The beef soup was hearty, and the spicy chicken dish with Sichuan and chili peppers brought the heat in all the right ways. 🍲🐔🌶️ Customer service was great, and the whole experience exceeded expectations. 💯😊👍 I will definitely be back. 🥳😋👏

We had lunch/brunch on Saturday. Arrived there around noon, and we were pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t crowded. We ordered four items on the menu. The dishes started to arrive, and we were happy that the portions were big. There were only two of us, and we tried to finish but couldn’t. Each dish was flavorful, and we loved it! I would definitely come back to try other dishes. There is a large parking area in the back of the restaurant.

I visited this place last night and upon the first bite of the Chong Qing Crispy Chicken, I knew it would be an instant favorite. I do wish it was spicier though. This dish would be perfect with beer. Unfortunately, Dumpling House does not have a liquor license. Next dish out was the chicken dumplings. When I saw that they looked exactly how I made mine, I fell in love. I'm a sucker for hand-made dumpling wrappers. Very tasty, to boot! The beef noodle soup was killer. I added a dash of soy sauce & vinegar to mine, then a half a spoon of chili oil to bring up the heat. (I like spicy food, okay.) The meat was so tender, the noodles were perfectly bouncy, too. The pan-fried lamb dumplings came out last and they were also an instant favorite. I put a few of them in my soup and WOW! That was an amazing meal. The service was great and the restaurant was very clean. Not too noisy, either. I definitely want to go back and try more dishes.

Dumpling House is my go to spot for fresh, flavorful dumplings. We had the pork wontons in spicy sauce, which were perfectly tender and soaked in a rich, slightly spicy sauce that added just the right kick. The shrimp, pork, and egg wontons were just as delicious, juicy, well seasoned, and packed with flavor. We also ordered the beef chow fun, a flat noodle dish with tender beef, crisp veggies, and perfectly chewy noodles coated in a savory, smoky sauce. Everything came out fast, and the service was efficient and friendly. With great food at a reasonable price, this place never disappoints. Definitely a must-visit for dumpling lovers!

Went with a group of friends. I got beef soup. Pretty good. The beef dish i got just okay. But, I'm not a fan of traditional Chinese food, so you can't my word for it. My girl ordered a dish along with rest of us and didn't receive hers. We asked for compensation and they didn't really want to make it right. So, probably won't be coming back to this place again.

2025- remodeled. some great items now missing and many other food items are now different. went on a sat. lunch and it was quiet. I am concern about their biz situation. do take their "spicy" logo on items seriously. do eat the dumplings quickly as they get cold fast. the big cold marble tabletop helped the cooling as the plate is cool quickly. juicy pork crab dumplings was good. mildly juicy and must be eaten hot or the juice be gone. the panfried bun was not the usual as the skin was very thin and wet while the inside had little juice. flavored stewed beef noodle is spicy with pepper corn soup ingredient. seafood noodle soup was red, spicy, and angry. toouch spice covering most seafood favor in the soup. probably best was the house noodle. 2016- Food is on the good side, service not so much. 2 person running the place every time I am here lunch or dinner. Thats the problem. Restroom if you could avoid it, please do. Parking can be problematic but now 2 shops adjacent is remodeling (7/2016), not a problem for now. The soup is the star of all the noodle except the braised beef spicy noodle. Duck noodle is excellent and did I mention the soup?

This place completely took me by surprise in the best way! My wife and daughter had been raving about it, and now I totally get why. It's a little hole-in-the-wall dumpling house, but wow... it's serving up huge flavor. I ordered the spicy fried rice (which secretly has chicken in it bonus!) and it blew me away. The chili oil and black salted bean combo was fire. We had the xiaolongbao (always a win), a shockingly good sautéed cabbage with Thai chili, and a beef soup that hit the spot. But the standout for me? A spicy chicken dish loaded with Sichuan and chili peppers. Spicy, savory, and unforgettable. Now, quick note about customer service--if you know, you know. If you're familiar with Asian dining culture, this won't surprise you. You might not get big smiles or chatty service, but they're efficient, fast, and focused on getting you your food hot and fresh. And honestly, that's what you're here for. The food speaks for itself. So if you're there expecting hand-holding and small talk, this might catch you off guard. But if you're here to eat and enjoy incredible flavor, you're in the right spot. Enjoy the food and appreciate the authenticity. 10/10 would come back. Already dreaming of that cabbage dish...

Very unsuspecting but utterly fantastic Chinese spot. Definitely swing by if your around the area. I got a little of everything dim sum pork dumplings, beef chow fun, Kung pao chicken, and lamb. Literally everything that came out was better than the next. My favorites were the Kung pao and lamb. Both were flavor explosions in my mouth. Small spot with limited seating so don't be surprised if you have to wait. Parking was a little tough but there's plenty street and around back. Go crazy and get everything you want. It'll be worth it and it's even better the day after.

Every dish was pretty solid. We ordered Braised Beef Noodle Soup, Shrimp Pork and Chive Dumplings, Salt and Pepper Shrimp, Cucumber Salad, and Peking Duck Roll. The beef in the BNS was cut thinly which I'm not a fan of, but good flavor and noodle texture. The Peking Duck Roll was basically a Beef Roll.

Staff was friendly was feeling horrible all day and needed some soup. Restaurant was clean. Food came out at a decent time. I'd advise to use the restroom before you go. They have an outside restroom which is like a storage closet. Other than that food was delicious and staff was friendly

The food was amazing! The service was amazing as well. They have patience with us ordering. We did the $20 over give free green onion pancake. The restaurant was clean and tidy. Is also my first time visiting there was worry about the price. But it was definitely $10-$20 around there.

The restaurant itself is pretty small so if you're coming with a larger party, it might get a bit tough. Parking is available in the back of the restaurant. Their restroom is oddly placed in the back of the restaurant. You have to walk outside and around to get to it. Their dumpling skin is on the thicker side so if you like thin skin, this is not it. ESP their potsticker, the skin was so thick!! But I will say that the dipping sauce was pretty darn good. The flavored stewed beef noodle soup was spicy and oily. I could've totally went without this and the beef roll pancake. $13 for beef roll pancake which was bland and cold like it just came out the fridge??? That's a big no no!! AND the whole thing just falls apart as you pick it up to eat. Also, these items had thumbs up right next to it on the menu. They should take those down until they adjust the taste first. Now to the service, I didn't have a problem until she came to drop off our check that we didn't even ask for yet. That's kind of rude as it gives a sense of urgency for you to hurry up and leave.

The bottled Honey Green Iced Tea they serve is pretty refreshing, not too sweet. All the items we got were delish, hot, and fresh! Fast table service. Small interior, so when busy you have to wait by the railing entrance area. But we came before the dinner rush hour on a Friday and got seated immediately. Their restroom was dirty (located behind the restaurant by walking outside and heading to the first door on the left corner), so minus 1 star because of that. Also, the inside of the restaurant got more and more colder the longer we were there. It was harder to enjoy food with the A/C blasting lol they need to not make it freezing temperatures, sort of ruins the dining experience.

On this recent visit. The ribs were tasty and ultra garlic laden, chicken fried rice just the right amount of vegetables and chicken, string beans with black beans delish and the grand daddy of them all the juicy pork dumplings are a good size and juicy as it's supposed to be. Service is quick and the restaurant is clean. We're regulars here. Been coming here for years. I've brought out of town guests here and they enjoy this spot too! Parking in the back is easy and there are a few spots on the street.

No frills place, but fast service and does the job when you're craving some potstickers. Green beans were fire too! Decent sized parking lot in the back.

Dumpling House is a staple in Arcadia and is a great place to do family style. The restaurant itself isn't big, which could make seating a larger party difficult so I would recommend planning accordingly. The service was quick and the food arrived to the table in a timely manner. As for the food, I was not a fan of the garlic cucumber appetizer. The cucumbers were more on the sour side and didn't taste fresh. The shrimp wontons in spicy sauce definitely had a thicker skin, so steer clear if you prefer a thinner skin. As for the preserved cabbage soup, I thoroughly enjoyed it! The portion is shareable and pairs great with rice. Compared to other restaurants that specialize in Shanghainese cuisine, I would say that Dumpling House is just standard. Parking: There is parking right behind the restaurant but it isn't too big! Street parking is also an option as well but not ideal.

Great place! Used to go here all the time but since I moved out of the area, it doesn't make sense to drive 25 mins sometimes for a quick dumpling fix. Surprisingly they aren't as busy as they used to be! I remembered having to wait for tables sometimes. Place is clean and organize. Food still tastes just as great!

Came on Friday night at 8PM and the place was still full! Waited about 5 min and a table for 2 was ready for us. The spicy pork wontons were surprisingly good and my favorite dish! The sauce is so good, sweet, sour and salty and garlicy that soaks into the wonton skin and the pork was flavorful too. I think it's the closest thing I've found that compares to din tai fungs (the only thing that I think is worth it there!). Pork and crab xiao long baos didn't have much flavor. Maybe the regular pork ones taste better with a single stronger flavor. The green onion pancakes were flakey and crispy and also free with a yelp check in! There was nothing amazing about their service but they got the job done and served the food. It's what I expected at an asian place and I have no issues with it. Would come back for the spicy pork wontons!

We came to a place called Dumpling House and surprisingly, ended up not ordering any dumplings. We got - Hand Made Pancake - Chong Qing Crispy Chicken - Pickled Beef Noodle Soup - Sauteed String Bean Beef noodle soup usually all tastes the same to me, but I really liked this one maybe because of the addition of the pickles which provided a nice contrast with the sour taste. My favorite was the Chong Qing Crispy Chicken. It had the perfect amount of spiciness and crunchiness. The portion size was really generous too.

Dumpling House seems like a staple here in Arcadia. I love dumplings, so I was happy to try it out. Parking is plenty in the back. Oddly, the bathroom is also accessed from the back parking lot. This means you need to leave your seat and go out the front door if you need to use the restroom during your meal. There is an order form that you check off boxes, so there are no photos of the food. Service is mid. They act like they are really busy and don't pay much attention to you. This is typical of a Chinese restaurant tbh. Dumplings were great. I got the shrimp pork & chives boiled and fish pan-fried. They were both really great. They came with a small saucer of sauce that was vinegary. The beef noodle soup (clear) was good. Rice is $2 per bowl. I'd come back. This place is like the restaurant you go when you don't know what else to eat.

The food, service and ambiance are always 5 star. We have been coming here for over 7 years. Today we were surprised with a few new menu items and we tried the spicy chicken. It was not too spicy but it was delicious.

The food left a bit to be desired. I was expecting amazing dumplings given the name. It fell a little flat. The pancakes were probably the best thing we got and it was free with check in. This place is okay if you're looking for an Asian food fix however it wouldn't make the top of any list. The ambiance is that of a mom and pop place and service is as expected - lackluster. However, I expected the food to be better than average and that was definitely not meeting expectations.

I have been here a few times now and I really enjoy it! It's usually busy in the evenings and the dining area is not very big. My step mom said it's busy in the morning too. I like the variety of dumplings with meat, seafood and vegetables so it has options for all customers. I like the dumplings pan fried and the different chili sauce at the table. My parents like it steamed. The portions are hearty so beware, it's easy to order too much when you want to sample different items ... If you like dumplings, noodles and rice... this is the spot to check out.

This place has so many good options, it's hard to choose! Every time I'm at the mall or in the area, I love to have dinner here. I have to get the xlb and pork and chive dumplings. I also love the wonton in chili oil. Service is quick and this is ideal for smaller groups vs large ones. A must try!

My favorite dumpling place! We come for lunch and although it is small, the environment is cozy. Food is always hot and tasty. Even when we try new things everything is always flavorful. Service could is okay, but I also appreciate when servers aren't checking on us every 20 minutes. Overall 10/10

Always love me some dumpling house!! Better than a lot of the dumpling places around. This places is NOT hyped up. Prices are reasonable. My typical go to is the XLB, pan fried dumplings, steamed dumplings, and beef roll. You get a free side of green onion pancake when you check in via YELP. I think the real reason why I go here is because they have ALL the condiments and they are on the table! Black vinegar and chili oil is such a delight with the dumplings! It was so good, I went there twice in one day! With different friends, of course!

My favorite place for xiaolongbao!! It's a cozy little shop on Baldwin Ave. with a parking lot in the back or street side parking, if you prefer that. There's hardly a wait time and the service is fast! The XLB is freshly made in house and so good!! highly recommend checking this place out!

This was my first time trying this place. It has a small and cozy seating area. We came at just the right time and the place was practically empty. Once we got seated, we glanced at the menu. We ordered their Juicy Pork Dumplings (Must) and their Veggie Chow Mein. We also got their Pan Fried Dumplings for different texture and some crispiness. We even got their Green Onion Pancake (Free with Yelp Check in!) and tried their Hand Made Pancake. Everything came out quickly and was fresh and hot. Once we finished our food, is when more people began to arrive and place was starting to fill up. I would come back to this place if when I'm craving some dumplings and the line for....another place is too long. Please stop by and patronize this place. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

Service was OK. The worker did not speak English well. There's also no restroom in the restaurant! - Spicy Beef Noodle Soup 3.5/5 Slices of beef and couple pieces of spinach, I thought this soup was OK. It would have been way better if it wasn't so oily... the broth was VERY oily. - Chili Spicy Wontons 4/5 The chili sauce is not so spicy. I thought this had the best filling to wrapper ratio. But it's still more wrapping than filling. - Fried Pork Dumplings 2/5 VERY little filling and a lot of dough. It's fried on one side. If it had 3 times more filling then it would be perfect. - Steamed Beef Dumplings 1.5/5 My least favorite. The beef filling did not taste good. Parking is free in the lot behind.

The dumplings are very delicious and you can't go wrong with most of their entrées. The service can be a little slow at times and to request water multiple times can be a little annoying.

The veggie dumplings and green onion pancake were both excellent, service was quick and the price was right. Only one waitress working; she mopped the entire restaurant while it was full of patrons, while handling money and serving food orders. I understand that one person can only do so much, not her fault, but this made us uncomfortable.

Great food and good service! The quality of the food is amazing and one of the best dumpling places in Arcadia! Personally, I think it's better than Din Tai Fung.

Dumpling House is a small neighborhood Chinese restaurant that serves the staple comfort foods covering various regions of China. They have many dumpling options, from fried to steamed, XLBs, and pan fried buns. Want to be clear. We do not come here for the service, but for the food. It's very difficult to get the attention of the servers, and when you do, be ready to order. They do not care for small talk nor give you eye contact. The food: 1. Cucumber with garlic - smashed cucumbers with a mala oil. Not too spicy, not too numbing. 2. Pan fried pork dumplings - one of their signature dishes. Their dumplings are decent sized and very juicy. Nicely browned on the bottom, but could be a little more crispy. Skin is a little thicker, which is what I like, but those who prefer skin like Bafang dumplings may find this too thick. 3. Green onion pancake - very very thin, not the best. 4. House special beef noodle soup - the soup flavor is on point, beef brisket is tender. Noodles are fresh and al dente. Served with white radish and garlic in the soup, super flavorful. 5. Pork spareribs with garlic - deep fried and tossed with fried garlic and green onion. Delicious with white rice. The food is solid, not fancy, but great for everyday eats.

One of my go-to Chinese food spots is the Dumpling House. It not only tastes delicious but, more importantly, it is very clean compared to other places that may be legitimate but lack cleanliness. Their house special beef noodle soup is a perfect 10/10. The noodles are freshly made, chewy, and soft, while the soup is cooked with bones for a long time, resulting in a rich flavor. They are very generous with the meat portion, and the beef is juicy and flavorful--I love it! I have also tried their juicy dumplings and cold pork with garlic, and both are exceptional, earning a 10/10 rating. The portions are generous, and the flavors are fresh. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the ongoing inflation. Service is super polites indoor is very clean. Don't forget to check-in to get a free pancake, which is crispy and packed with flavor.

Great food every time! Love the dumplings, beef noodle soup and green onion pancake. Customer service is also superb! Will always return.

Feeling like home made dumplings, I love the lamp fried dumplings. It tasted so special, and it's hard to find

First time here and definitely not my last. I came here at 6pm on a Monday with a larger group, and the restaurant was practically empty. We were seated immediately, and they do accommodate for bigger groups (maybe 10 max). Around 6:30, the place started getting busy. The two ladies working were very nice and attentive. I checked in on Yelp for a free green onion pancake that was delicious! As for the rest of the dishes we ordered, everything we got was fantastic. The prices were very affordable considering the amount of food you get. The sautéed string beans and eggplant with garlic were addicting to eat. The cucumber salad was refreshing on a hot summer day! The juicy pork dumplings (xlb) were good, but there wasn't a whole lot of soup in them. We also ordered the pan fried dumplings and spicy wontons which were delicious. The house noodles and fried thin rice noodles were tasty. Everything here was a hit and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Great job Dumpling House!

Always great to come here with family. Inexpensive! Food comes out fast and fresh every time.

Dumpling was delicious , and my son ate more than ever . The beef noodle soup ( beef ) was tender yum ! We will be back !

Hands down, some of the best food I've had recently! Every dish me and my husband tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. We paid around $50 (tips included) for all of these. I could say it was worth it for two people. They also have free parking at the back. We went there around 6pm, no reservations needed and it was not too crowded. Highly recommended. Must try!!! Will be returning

They must have changed ownership. This place used to be my family's go-to dumpling spot. The portion and quality of the food has declined greatly. The spicy wonton used to be coated in spicy sauce and sprinkled on top with peanut bits... now, no more peanut bits and the spicy sauce is very minimal; not enough to coat each wonton. Sadly, we will bot be coming back. Maybe once in a while for their house-made pancake (to-go).

Super delicious! Service is pretty cute. Recommend! Parking situation is convenient and safe. Bathroom 3/5.

This place slaps. I tried going to Mama Lu's but they had this weird number system and got mad at me when I just walked in looking for the host, but there wasn't one and then a guy ran over to us and told us we have to wait and brought us to the front and wrote a number down and handed it to us, and then just started seating people that came in after us. So I put the number down and went to Dumpling House. Anyways, this place rules. Fuck Mama Lu's, go here, it's been here way longer and the food rules and it's not that bad of price.

We got their beef noodle soup, pan fried noodles, pork soup dumplings, spicy pork wontons, cold sesame noodles. Their cold seasame noodle didnt have much flavor and pan fried noodles were okay. I love beef noodle soup but this is the worst i've ever had. It tasted like peking duck skin water. But, their spicy wontons made up for it. If you come here, just stick to the dumplings.

Food was fresh and tasty. Everything came out quickly. The restrooms were super clean as well.

Standard Asian restaurant service. My favorites here are their seaweed, fried pork dumplings, XLB, fish dumplings, hot and sour soup and green onion pie. Place is well kept and clean.

The food is amaaaaazing. One of my favorite local spots for fresh, delicious Chinese food. Their Spicy Chicken Won Ton are the best! Two thumbs up

We've been coming here for years. The food is really good. Juicy pork dumplings are a favorite along with bok choy and green onion pancake. We've tried other entrees as well and have never been disappointed. The restaurant is very small without much seating. Not the greatest atmosphere but pricing is reasonable.

It has been quite some time since I've been back to dine in person, but I have to say they are still just as great! The restaurant itself is quite small, so definitely gets full quickly around dinner time. The food comes out relatively fast, so the wait times aren't too long. We ordered a ton of dishes to share, but these were the highlights: - hand pull pancake: thin and super crispy layered pancake - fish pan fried dumpling: fish is cooked perfectly and is a light alternative if you are not eating meat -leek pie: this is my personal favorite, I love the aroma of leeks and they stuff it full. The dough also isn't greasy, but rather light and flaky -popcorn chicken: light battered chicken pieces, spiced well with heavy white pepper, portions a little small but still tasty! -pork potsticker: a classic you can't go wrong. There were also only two employees managing the whole place and they were so kind and friendly even when the restaurant was buzzing and busy. I definitely recommend you stopping by whenever you're crazy dumplings, don't settle for the frozen market ones and check out Dumpling House instead. Parking is available in the back lot

I love this place so much! The only reason I am giving 4 stars is because they don't have a bathroom for customers -- kind of crazy. The food is absolutely delicious. Quick service and the restaurant is clean. It's my go-to spot for dumplings. Way better pricing and portions than Din Tai Fung, which is up the street.

Got their scallion pancake. All I can taste is pepper. Bought to go, service was just alright.

This place is pretty legit for Asian food. I recommend a bunch of dishes here for sure! Eggplant with Garlic Sauce, Xiao Long bao, sautéed green beans, veggie egg rolls, fried rice, etc. I personally can't handle spicy food but majority of the food aren't too bad. They just look super spicy but it's mild unless you eat a red pepper. The Xiao long bao needs to be eaten right away or else it goes dry and don't forget the vinegar. There's a parking lot in the back so you don't have to worry about parking which is a plus!

Juicy pork dumpling were not juicy, they were dry. Food was meh, not that great! It wasn't crowded so I expected better quality

Horrible service by lady behind counter. Arrived at 8:30pm, after driving from Eagle Rock. Yelp and their posted hours showed they closed at 9pm. As soon as we walked in, we were rudely told "we are closed!" I asked her if the posted hour of 9:00pm didn't stand, and she said no. The placed was full and we didn't fit in. I could only assume that was the reason we were denied service. I would NEVER patronize this place EVER!!!

Attentive service, food arrived quickly and tasty! We dined with a group of friends and were lucky enough to try out a few dishes. Cold pork with garlic was my favorite of the evening. The pork was thinly sliced and the crushed garlic was magical! Goodness, we were all fire breathing dragons by the end of the meal but it was all well worth it! This dish is life changing! It has just the right amount of spiciness and we can eat it all day long with a bowl of white rice! We also has the sautéed green beans, it had great flavor with black bean and a little chopped red chili. The green beans still had a good amount of crunch and not oily! Siu long baos were beyond good, skin were thin and the soup was flavorful. Since we enjoyed the garlic sauce from the cold pork dish we just incorporated the garlic with siu long baos and we would gladly do it again! Pan fried pork dumplings were well done with crispy skin. Although the meat fillings could have used a bit more seasonings. The children in the group requested pork spare rib with sweet and sour sauce, while the bright color presentation was a refreshing addition on the table, the sugary, starchy sauce guaranteed an immediate visit to the dentist. Overall, it was a very satisfying meal and we definitely agree with fellow yelpers that this is a reliable neighborhood dumpling shop!
