Signature hui tou dumplings, pork potstickers, and crab soup dumplings
"Hui Tou Xiang Noodles House is one of the SGV’s best-kept secrets. This place serves a killer line-up of Chinese dumplings while still managing to fly under the radar of bigger names in the neighborhood like Kang Kang Food Court and Mama Lu’s. Of course, the name of the game here (literally) is the hui tou dumpling, rectangular pan-fried blocks, but their soup dumplings shouldn’t be missed either. They’re the juiciest version in town—plump, round satchels filled with minced pork the size of a golf ball, surrounded by a rich, decadent broth we’d happily drink on its own any day of the week. Plus, they now have a second location in Hollywood." - kat hong
"Hui Tou Xiang’s eponymous dumplings are flat-sided potstickers with a perfect sear on both sides. Hui tou roughly translates to “double-take delicious” in Chinese, which is fitting for these irresistible pork-filled parcels." - Mona Holmes
"Our Favorite Dishes: Hui Tou, Crab & Pork XLB Next door to the now-closed Luscious Dumplings is Hui Tou Xiang, an underrated place you should stop into on any SGV dumpling crawl. It’s a pretty simple spot - sit down and you’ll get some tea and spicy kimchi, plus a menu and pencil to check off your order. Their namesake Hui Tou Dumplings are the highlight - the rectangular, pan-fried dumplings are juicy and delicious, and not something you see at most places." - jess basser sanders, amy clark, brant cox, brett keating
"This San Gabriel strip-mall Chinese spot is a dumpling must—home to the long, boxy pork hui tou and a variety of other dumplings along with noodle dishes, griddled leek pancakes, soups, and more; the SGV outlet is no-frills (eat at small outdoor tables or take to-go) while the Hollywood outlet offers indoor dining, and don’t forget to take some frozen dumplings home." - Eater Staff
