Dumpling Monster

We ordered two different kinds of dumplings. The XLB were a bit over steamed and the others weren’t steamed enough. We also ordered beef rolls. They are a little bit spicy and were ok. The dumplings weren’t bad, but weren’t the best either. There’s parking beneath the restaurant but the restaurant doesn’t offer to validate. They may validate though.

Ever since I saw a video of their food, I knew I had to try if I ever traveled to LA! Finally did it! Soup dumplings are their #1 star of course; so soft, tender, clean, and delicious. Certainly the best dumplings. Even the pan fried dumplings were amazing; pefectly crisp on the bottom and soft on top. Our favorites were the green beans and the chow mein (chicken added); delicious seasoning on the green beans and the chow mein is certainly a one of a kind dish, never had one like it before, A MUST TRY! The only dish that was a bit much was the shumai; seasoned differently than any I've ever tasted, but peppery, it wasn't bad, but it was a bit too salty for our palate. Still delicious though, no doubt. As for service, the workers were nice and patient with us as we ordered, and service was really fast, we barely waited 5 minutes when the first dish was served. Place is very clean, bright, and has a nice atmosphere and aesthetic decor in the restaurant. Definitely will be coming back before my trip is over, and if I ever am back in LA with friends, this is the #1 spot I'll be taking them to eat!

XLB with Crab is not worth it! The flavors are not authentic and taste like something is missing (or was not fresh). The umami that crab brings is just missing. The only thing right about the dish was the consistency of the skin which was nice and thin. Really one of the worse XLBs I’ve ever had. Very disappointed :(

4/09/21 ☆ ☆ ☆ to go order The food tastes good but it’s a bit overpriced. I ordered steamed chicken, another one with chicken and shrimp (shu mai) and a chow mein with chicken. Paid $31,42 The chow mein was a decent size, but it lacked chicken and there were NO red bell peppers AT ALL 👎🏻 (even though it says on the menu). I loved shu mai 🤤🤤, it was delish (but they serve just 4 small ones). Steamed chicken dumplings were alright but again the portion is too small. So I headed back and ordered 2 more shu mai (another $13,23). I’m feeling full finally but paying $50 ($44,65 + $5 tip) for that amount of food is kinda steep. The staff is friendly and polite, the place looked clean. Still I can’t recommend and doubt that will ever come back.

Look. I do a lot of reviews both good bad and everything in between, but this place is by far my favorite dumpling place hands down. I've been to many places that charge way more for less and they have nothing on this place. Everything was absolutely perfect. Staff was amazing and we will come back every single time we come into town. Thank you for making my families day.

I love Asian food. I love how creative, daring and spicy the meals have the potential to be, and specially I'm really into dumplings and gyoza. There's just something about the combination of dough with a filling of your choice and the spices in the protein cooked within the doughy part. This place I wanted to try because it specializes in dumplings, so naturally you'd expect their attention, skill and efforts to reflect just that. Kinda like if you visit a cardiologist you wouldn't expect them to look at your foot. I got the Spicy Pork Wontons which I enjoyed. It was good. Not great. Could've been better. I'll tell you why. It tasted fresh, the pork was well seasoned and the spicy sauce accompanied with spring onions was a nice touch. I think if the consistency of the gravy was a bit thicker and perhaps a slight addition of garlic would've really put it over the top with the spring onions. But, I would get it again. It was nice. I also tried their Pan Fried Chicken Dumpling which I didn't like and didn't finish. The chicken was processed chicken meat and the dumpling tasted frozen. Going back to my previous point.....because it is a specialty dumpling shop.....anything other than fresh - in house made dumplings is just not a good idea. I wouldn't get that dish again. The service I can't really say much about. It was like a fast food type service at the counter. THIS IS AN EDIT ON MY LAST REVIEW OF THIS PLACE. I went back and decided to try another item on their menu which was the Chow Mein with Shrimp and in addition also ordered their Spicy Pork Wontons which I loved the first time around also. I decided to add two more stars and here's why: Consistency: The spicy wontons were great...again. The taste, freshness and time to prepare were exactly as the first time. The Chow Mein with Shrimp I really enjoyed and was pleasantly surprised because on my very first order I was not happy with the quality of the dumplings and wasn't sure if the Chow Mein would follow suit or not and luckily it didn't. It was wonderfully seasoned, very fresh and the proportions of the shrimp to cabbage, onions and broccoli was just right. When I arrived home it was still steaming hot! which tells you it was prepared right off the grill and packaged just in time with no lapse in counter-sitting.

This is not real Chinese food!!! Unless you don’t know it ! All in frozen types materials are impossible cooking to real taste! :-(

First time here, been on the list for a while but usually never in this area. Any of the soup dumplings will probably have you thinking you should have ordered more. Staff was nice and recommended items as well. Priced well too, not inflated because of the location.

I avoided dumpling monster because I assumed it would just be an okay place, and reliant on proximity for its business. I went there because I was in the mood for some dumplings and didn't want to drive anywhere so I figured no matter how bad it was it would be convenient. It's basically carryout only at this point. The front area is just full of supplies, space for food deliveries and shipping. I ordered and they suggested one of their outdoors tables to eat as a dine-in option. I got the pork XLB and the green beans, my standbys. The XLB was good, better than I expected, hot, fresh, with a broth in there that was rich. The green beans were ok- the chili sauce was a little too weak and it didn't have that subtle flavor that other places had. All in all, if you've got a dumpling craving and you're in the area it's not a bad place to get it from.

This place is just okay. I did a to go order. Got the soup dumplings, both pork and chicken. They were just okay. Not bad, not great. I did like the way they premixed vinegar sauce for the order. Also got chicken fried rice and green beans with pressed tofu which weren't bad. I wish there was more tofu with the green beans since I liked that. Pretty much just an okay place all around.

I have a deep appreciation for Asian cuisine. I love the creativity, boldness, and spiciness that these meals can offer. Dumplings and gyoza, in particular, captivate me with their combination of dough and flavorful fillings. I had been eager to try this specific restaurant because it specializes in dumplings. Naturally, I expected their attention, skill, and efforts to be focused on perfecting this dish. It's like going to a cardiologist and expecting them to examine your foot. I ordered the Spicy Pork Wontons, which I enjoyed, but felt they could have been better. The flavors were fresh, the pork was well-seasoned, and the spicy sauce with spring onions was a nice touch. However, I believe the gravy could have been slightly thicker and a hint of garlic would have elevated the dish even more. Despite this, I would order it again as it was still enjoyable. I also tried the Pan Fried Chicken Dumplings, which I did not like and couldn't finish. The chicken tasted processed, and the dumplings had a frozen taste. As I mentioned before, at a specialty dumpling shop, anything other than freshly made, in-house dumplings is not a good idea. I would not order that dish again. Regarding the service, I can't say much as it was similar to fast food counter service.

Obsessed with the popcorn chicken! Perfect level of spice, it doesn't even require any sauce. The soup dumplings are worth a try as well. The space is typically very clean and the staff are friendly.

Food is great , spicy wonton really tasty , friendly staff; easy order system and good location

Stopped in and the food here was delicious. The XLB was a little hot, so make sure to wait a minute before enjoying. Everything had ate amazing flavor. Highly recommend noodles with beef, the XLB, and the spicy noodles

Food is decent but hit or miss. Been a few times and sometimes it's super flavourful and fresh, other times it's almost bland and doesn't taste as fresh. A lot of menu items to choose from so great for those who like to try a few options. Hopefully it becomes more consistent but for now it's convenient and ok.

Uber eats order: The dumplings were bland even with the vinegar. I've had way better. Green beans tasted good but the tofu that came with it wasn't my favorite.

I am a huge dumpling obsessed fan so when I saw this place I had to try it. I first looked online at menu then some photos. I went when they opened and was really disappointed unfortunately. I was hoping to have had a new favorite place to go. The table I sat at was very dirty and hadn't even been cleaned, still crumbs and blobs of oul and chili sauce. The chairs were marked with lots of dark dirt spost and fingerprints. All the wooden furniture wore down. The condiments glass sticky and gross. Nothing like the letter "A" grade I expected at the door. Then I got my food. I noticed blue on all the ridges of my dumplings and thought it was plastic I had to pull off, wasn't used to that, then realized it was blue marker pen, and other dumplings had yellow and so on. That seemed really unsanitary and cross contaminated and who wants to eat marker ink? Then I ate the food and it wasnt at all like the photos and they seemed old and a harder dry chew instead of a soft and moist. It just wasnt what I though and hope overall.

I would give this place a 3.5 stars, but rounding up because it was nice, clean and empty! We ordered an assortment of dumplings and dishes. Popcorn chicken- kind of dry and flavorless, good size chicken but wouldn't order again Pork XLB and crab & pork XLB- taste almost the same, nice quality with soup inside. Complaint no fresh ginger to eat with these! :( Green beans- nice and tasty, no chili or spice in it though Green onion pancake- crispy but not many flaky layers Pork, shrimp and chive dumplings- good filling but the skin was a bit thick and dry

Pretty underwhelming food. The scallion pancakes are much better at Bao. The food has no flavor. Just meh.

Roped in by a pretty instagram account, I had Dumpling Monster bookmarked for a long time and finally decided to order some dumplings on grubhub because they were offering a $4 discount off the first order . I tried to order dumplings that would travel well (that meant no xiaolongbao) and went for the Pan Fried Pork Bun and Spicy Pork Wonton. Since they were $9.95 each, I figured getting both would be more than enough food for lunch for one. Well, the pan fried pork buns were a lot smaller than I was expecting given that you only get THREE. They were kind of soggy but I am going to blame the travel for that. Still don't think they'd be too much better fresh, so I'll keep looking for good pan fried pork buns outside of the SGV. The Spicy Pork Wonton serving was a bit better, and these were pretty good but definitely nothing stood out about them vs other dumplings that I've had. All in all this was overpriced and really just okay. Very disappointed!

I went here today and was served completely FROZEN shu mai - concerned that the food was not even cooked at all and definitely not fresh. I sent it back and got a refund on the entire order but the staff didn't seem surprised or particularly apologetic. Would not eat here again.

Covid takeout review: It's not bad but it's not great. The spicy wontons could've been spicier. I was expecting to have some sort of sauce for the soup dumplings but there's was none. Had to dip it into the spicy wonton sauce. Actually wait, I think they charge extra for sauce. Really? Stop.

ATTENTION NOT AUTHENTIC!!!!!! I came here after craving some xiao long bao- and let me say I was sadly disappointed. I ordered the pork soup dumplings, pork pan fried bun, veggie pan fried bun, and the spicy chicken wontons. The pork filling in everything was really not good... it was kinda like someone just took ground pork and mushed it a bit The buns were also not crispy at all. The filling on the veggie bun was okay, but nothing that could compensate for the strangely soggy bun. The dumpling skin and soup on the soup dumplings were good, but again could not compensate for the bad filling. The best thing was the spicy chicken wontons! They were actually quite good and the filling was juicy and bouncy. Maybe if I got the chicken soup dumplings it would have been better...? Overall- I should have left as soon as I saw one of the workers walk right past me with a plastic bag filled with frozen dumplings... Wish I could be more positive since I was so excited Dumpling Monster, but unfortunately I was left feeling like I wasted my money ‍

Great lunch spot! The soy braised pork rice was awesome. The veggie dumplings were also very tasty. All in all great meal!

I wanted to send dumplings to my cousin who was a little down and was finally home after recovering from COVID-19 so I went in search of how I could do that. I had heard about Dumpling Monster from IG and when I found them on Goldbelly, that seemed perfect. So when I sent her some, I had to get some for myself. I ordered the chicken and chive dumpling and the spicy pork wonton. They both came frozen and with instructions. I followed them but not super closely (they were simple I was just lazy and boiled them together). They came out pretty good! The Pork ended up looking like fancy goldfish with the wonton noodle all floaty but that's my fault. The chicken and chive held together a bit more. Overall they tasted good and I still have some left to try them again! I can't wait to try more of their dishes someday.

Was craving beef roll...this place showed up on Yelp. Tried the fried pork dumpling, eh...cucumber salad, too much vinegar!!! Evened it out with soy sauce and it was edible. Fried rice was good....well seasoned. But then again, you can't go wrong with fried rice! Beef roll....OVERLY SALTED!!! And I'm not talking about maybe they put too much hoisin sauce. It was "hurting my tooth, needed to down my milk tea" right away SALTY!!! Whoever made this beef batch went a little too crazy on the seasoning and didn't bother to taste it. They were kind enough to refund me for the beef roll. 5 stars on the staff (except the chef) 2 stars on food

No good at all, wrapper so thick and does not offer any other option for sauce like chili garlic oil. Not worth the price.

Very small place. Two tables and bar, so can only handle 12 seated people. Order yourself using a padlet on counter. Food was pretty good. All the dumplings are very fresh. Only thing I would criticize is the beef. It was a bit salty but maybe thats just me. No one in my group said anything about it. The bit of soup in the dumpling (aka shanghai dumpling) was very good. It's hard to find a place that makes it taste good.

Dumpling monster was a tasty place that my wife and I tried for the first time. We are all about supporting small businesses. If you enjoy dumplings as much as we do than you need to try this place. Highly recommend!

I don't mind the food at this place, however, a few days ago I was starving and ordered a chicken fried rice while I was down the street and rushed home to eat it. After tax and tip I paid close to $18 which is already not thrilling for some chicken fried rice but I sat down and there was... no chicken.... Just rice and a little egg and onion. So I repeat there was no chicken in the chicken fried rice. I received a... $3.50 refund and was so hungry from eating rice with no protein that I had to scrounge up more food at home which was exactly what I was avoiding that day. So yep that was not enjoyable and defeated the entire point of me going somewhere to get food that I didn't make. @vincent - this was not a delivery order, I ordered it and picked it up myself at the restaurant.

I went there on my lunch, they were super efficient and the dumplings were really fresh! I am glad that I got the steamed ones to start out with, nest time I will get the pan fried! Soooo goood!!!!

These dumplings are delicious when I get off of work I love to eat here. They are kind and very very good at making seem like u are family.. I would recommend this place to everybody.

Service was excellent, soup dumplings were decent. The soup part was clear, hot and what a heartwarming broth should be. If they served the broth in bowls I'd drink that all night then order a gallon to bring home to freeze and use when I'm nursing a cold. This is the type of soup that heals :) However the wrapper was too thin and felt made from a machine. The meat needed more seasoning too. Overall not bad for a last minute snack craving.

Dumplings outside of Chinatown? Dumpling Monster is actually located in Weho that was a bit confusing for me. I was looking for the establishment along Santa Monica but wasn't able to find it until I saw a small sign by the entrance to Trader Joe's pointing on a walkway towards the back. Soon realized that DM is actually one of the stores at the ground floor of AVA building not visible from the street. It's quite hidden but glad to have found it. I was promptly greeted by the friendly staff. The store is kinda small but clean and seemed very inviting. I approached the counter and ordered chicken dumplings with a side of vegetable pancakes. I sat myself while waiting for my order. Cellphone reception is very poor at this location but I'm glad that they offer free WiFi. Just ask the staff for the password. My order was served warm and fresh especially the dumplings that still had the steam on. I started with the pancakes which were a little bland so I helped myself with the condiments sitting in the table. A mixture of vinegar, soy sauce and chili oil made it taste a lot better. I went on with the dumplings but was surprised to find out it has broth that squirted in my mouth after my first bite. I never had this kind of dumplings before but I actually liked it. No restroom inside the store but if you'll ever need one, staff will hand you a key for the restroom a few steps down at the AVA building.

This is a middling Chinese restaurant that happens to have a few dim sum/dumpling-type options. Don't come here looking for anything unique. They label a few vegan items but you have to ask questions about other dishes which are vegan but aren't indicated as such. The scallion pancake ($6) is vegan and not bad, but not great. It felt a tad dry and doughy; a great scallion pancake is puffy, light and crispy-crackly with lots of fresh green onion. Here it was a lot more like a flat and dense disc. The pan fried vegan dumplings ($11) were fine, with bland, steamed innards. I thought these tasted better when you mixed them with the sauce from the chili tofu. Speaking of which, the chili tofu ($11) looked and tasted great, with an array of colors and a savory sauce (that seemed to consist of soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger and garlic). The only issue was the comically small portion size---two bites and you're done. The sesame noodles ($9) tasted weird with a creamy sauce that didn't have enough peanut flavor. Don't get this. Lastly, the green beans ($9) are vegan by default and wasn't bad, but wasn't memorable. It's also oily. West Hollywood doesn't have many good Chinese options, but if you want higher quality, similar food, go to Northern Cafe on Beverly Blvd.

Service was very friendly but waited 30 minutes for my order (Refunded in full). Ordered the vegan dumplings. The wrap was on the thicker side compared to traditional dumpling wraps and was green in color. Flavor was solid but the overall dumpling seemed imbalanced due to the thickness of the wrap

Their steamed pork dumplings are the best. They are juicy and have flavor. The guy who help me out was really nice. Good customer service

03/23/2019 This was an amazing experience. Who would have thought to add uni into one of these XLB dumplings. I've had crab and pork dumplings before but the uni makes it that much more exquisite. There is also a black truffle pork dumpling for you to try as well. I didn't get to try everything so I'll have to come back and check it all out. Thanks to Perry for having me here to try these amazing XLB dumplings.

I was dogsitting in WeHo, and was craving some comfort food. I live right next to SGV, so I was definitely dialing back my expectations here. Scallion pancakes were...different. I think another reviewer said something about that - they're like...deep fried or something. Not super tasty, but palatable. I got some pork and shrimp dumplings, but couldn't taste the shrimp (nor could I find any traces of it), so not sure what happened there. The broccoli mushroom dish was pretty delicious. Parking is easy - 1 hour free parking in the lot, and you can go to Trader Joe's after for groceries.

Amazing dumplings in West Hollywood I cant stop ordering the spicy wontons and chicken soup dumpling. Highly recommend this location

Just really good dumplings and great service. Had lunch with fellow coworkers and she was a vegan and enjoyed the veggies.

This place is great. Nice little spot tucked away in the Trader Joe's shopping center with a patio and dining room. I got the soup dumplings which were awesome! Bursts of flavor.

Pretty tasty dumplings although they didn't blow my mind or anything. I tried a couple items -- chicken & Dungeness crab soup dumplings, pan fried chicken dumplings, chicken/shrimp shu mai, and the scallion pancake. Everything was good. They have online ordering but I just called my order in. They have ample vegan options. Reasonable prices. Can park across the street in the lot.

Dumpling Monster was a little bit underwhelming. I will say that the service was excellent. They were very friendly and eager to help as soon as I walked through the door. The vibe is of the restaurant modern and there is a sink for washing your hands directly next to the cash register. It doesn't get more convenient than that! The location is also great being right in the heart of West Hollywood near Trader Joe's. So if you are doing a lot of grocery shopping for the week and get a hankering for some soup dumplings then Dumpling Monster could be the answer to your prayers. The thing that I was underwhelmed with were the soup dumplings themselves. I got an order of the chicken soup dumplings and they just weren't that flavorful. I even tried dipping them in soy sauce but I feel that the chicken soup inside of the dumplings was not seasoned well enough for my liking. Maybe I am being picky but these are the staple items of the restaurant so I was expecting more. Either way, there are other things on the menu so if soup dumplings aren't your thing, give another item a try. Next time, I'm going for the fried dumplings in hopes that they will pack the flavor punch I so desperately craved from Dumpling Monster!

The first time was great, but the second time, something was lost in translation. I ordered two orders of pork dumplings. But I didn't want xlbs if I wanted xlb I would have said xlb. I wanted the pan fried pork. So when I got to the car (eating on the trunk since they don't have any outside dining) I was bummed. Went back up and of course there was nothing she would do about it. I guess. My fault. So spent another $25 to get what I really wanted. And the mediocre xlbs were only half eaten. But not with love. Those pan fried pork wontons were good. The sauce is . The chicken fried rice needs more flavor. The spicy wontons were not good. The green beans are in my fridge as I ordered too much. My kids really liked the popcorn chicken. They need somewhere to eat outside because the little benches aren't cutting it. It stinks like putrid trash out there. The first time we went there were piles of ice by the benches. I guess they cater to people who live around there.

The chicken fried rice and green beans with tofu are both excellent. Great portions as well. Plenty of food for two or even better...LEFTOVERS!

Incredible place! Perfect for vegans and non vegans to eat together. Came here yesterday with my friends and i literally got every vegan option and everything was so delicious! Top ranked has to be Chili spicy vegan wontons Sesame noodles And the green beans! So good very sweet workers too!

This place is...fine? I've come here several times simply because it's walking distance from me, but if it weren't, I probably wouldn't come back. They specialize in soup dumplings (note that this is not a dim sum establishment), and you can order them pan-fried as well, plus a few Taiwanese appetizers available. I've tried a few varieties, and they're pretty flavorless, with clumpy meat and dough. Staff is very friendly, though! I would advise them to be careful about the music they're playing; I went tonight and they were playing some pretty profane lyrics - not something I'm personally offended by, but if there were any families there, they might not take so kindly to it.

We did a to-go order through Caviar during COVID. We ordered the soup dumplings, chicken and pork potstickers and the scallion pancakes. Everything came quickly and still (fairly) warm. The dumplings were juicy, the potstickers were crispy and the pancakes were extra crispy. We ordered too much food expecting to have leftovers but ended up eating the whole lot.

I went here because I had a Off the Menu deal for the Wontons. I have lived in the area a while, and never tried Dumpling Monster, so this made for a perfect time to try it. Parking- Parking is free underneath the complex shared with the apartments/ Trader Joe's, or find street parking on Fuller Ave(next to Smart & Final) and you can walk right up to Dumpling Monster First Impressions- The restaurant was well maintained, and all employees were following health guidelines (COVID-19). Ordering- The gentleman working behind the counter was very friendly, and immediately took my order. I ordered the Spicy Wontons to go, was asked if I wanted anything else. THE TASTE- Opening the lid, I was a little surprised by the presentation, as the Wontons looked long and slimy swimming in sauce. The taste was ok, but nothing special. The pork was seasoned well, but not enough filling inside the Wonton. The Wonton's also fell apart fairly easily. Overall, I thought for the price($8) is reasonable for eight Wontons; however I just wasn't crazy about the taste. I will definitely give Dumpling Monster another shot.

Such a pity: I do love the food here but today...one star for truly nasty service at payment station. Absolutely no need to speak rudely and disrespectfully to me at all. Not going back for any of that junk treatment - good food withstanding. I'll go elsewhere, plenty of good lunch spots in WeHo where the young people on the floor are not resentful and disrespectful.

This spot has become a go to for take out among my friends whenever we get together during covid. The food is fantastic and pretty well priced. I've tried the fried rice , pan fried shrimp and pork dumplings, XLB, popcorn chicken, and steam vegetable dumplings. I haven't had anything I didn't like. They're great for take out and the food stays pretty fresh. I highly recommend for anyone in the Hollywood area looking to get their Taiwanese food fix!

Omg literally the cutest place in weho. They have friendly service and the food was amazing. I ordered the Pan Fried Pork Buns, Fried Pork Dumplings and the Scallion Pancake. The pork buns were so soft but mushy in some parts. Overall they were still delicious. I absolutely loved them. The pork dumplings were perfectly filled and paired just right with their hot sauce. I loved the flavor of the pork. You could taste the seasoning and just the tenderness of the meat itself. These small bites were very filling for lunch that it almost sent me into a food coma. I will definitely return to try their sesame noodles and pair them with a milk tea. I absolutely love this small business.

Poor customer service. I came in, ordered 2 items for take out. A group came in after me to dine in. They got their food before I did. One of their items looked like the same one I ordered. Instead of completing my order first, I was made to wait longer. Prior to this on another occasion, I dined in and ordered 2 items. I was served one item. I almost finished that item before they realized (after I reminded them) that they still owed me one more item. That's when they started to cook/prepare that item. I didn't write a review after that incident. I'm writing a review now because, apparently, the poor customer service wasn't a one-time fluke.

The worse dumplings I've ever had. They get 2 stars for the noodles because it had some flavor but extremely oily. Everything else was horrible. I followed them on IG and was so excited to try it and so I ordered so many options. I ordered pork xlb aka soup dumpling, pork and crab soup dumpling, pan fried Pork and shrimp dumpling, spicy shrimp wonton, fried rice, and chow mein. I do not recommend anyone to go here. It is not authentic and lacks any flavor. Sorry I don't have pictures of the food. After spending over 90 bucks, I had no qualms about tossing it all after a few bites.

I ordered spicy pork dumplings and scallion pancake Very good. Thumps up I think it tastes better than Ding Tai Fung. And the price is lower than Ding Tai Fung. Will try their Xiao long bao and cold noodles next time
