Luscious Dumplings

"It’s hard to order poorly at this delightful retreat, formerly called Luscious Dumplings. The menu is concise, with half of the items dedicated to the eponymous specialty. Indeed this narrow hot spot has been a city-wide favorite since it opened in 2001, and continues to draw lines so long that servers leave a sign-in sheet outside. The secret to their success? Discipline. While many spots make dumplings ahead of time and freeze them, this kitchen starts fresh every morning.It’s best to begin slow with a tray of boiled pork and celery jiaozi—the wrapping smooth to the touch and boasting just the right amount of bite. Anything pan-fried, though, is the main draw. From juicy pork to fresh chives, these little parcels of goodness have few equals." - Michelin Inspector

A great dumpling spot that is casual and comfortable. The dumplings are just like homemade and super satisfying. The sauces that are on each table are perfect for dipping the dumplings in, and add so much delicious flavor without being too spicy. The dumplings are a good size and very juicy and filling. The interior is quite small and most people do takeout. Everything is disposable and easy to clean up.

First time, friendly service from Abigail, food came out quick. 15 minute wait at 2:00pm on a Sunday. Eggplant & Pork noodles and Yuzu & chicken soup dumplings are great! Great Soju selection. -pictured are the hot & spicy dumplings-

Food: the dumplings are amazing! With their house chili sauces, the flavors of the soup in the dumplings and the fillings are elevated to another level 🥹✨✨✨ 100% recommended if you’re looking for delicious dumplings! Service: it’s all digitalized with scanning the QR code. You’re asked to pay right after you completed your order. Ambiance: it’s a small and simple place that gets pretty busy during meal time. Casual, fast dining needs can be fulfilled.

These are by FAR the best dumplings I've ever had, and the morning manager is AMAZING. He was so kind and knowledgeable about the food, gave us amazing recommendations from the menu and made the experience extra fun. We've been by a few times now and he always provides the best service. The quality of the food is always fantastic. You have to try the pan fried dumplings and the sweet and sour chili oil !!

We tried the stewed tofu, grilled pork dumplings and beef tendon noodle. All dishes tasted very good and would’ve warranted a 4-star except that the grilled dumplings were nothing like the picture on the menu where the dumplings were grilled crispy to all sides (as grilled dumplings should be). The home made hot sauce was good, but not very spicy. The service was decent, but this place uses only disposable dinnerware, which obviously was not great for our environment.

The Angus beef stew was delicious. The beef was super juicy. The broth was gingery and perfect. The vegan dumplings were amazing. Taste like meat was inside but I guess it was mushrooms. I would definitely come back for these two things 5/5 stars for these The scallion pancakes were tasty but they were so oily. I mean I could literally squeeze them and have a hand full of oil. I’ve never had them so im not sure if that’s how they are supposed to be, but man I’ve never seen so much oil in food in my life. It really ruined the whole experience. The rice was just regular old rice. It cost 4 dollars become it was “ fancy “ but wasn’t fancy at all. It was hard like it wasn’t cooked all the way or it was old. It definitely wasn’t washed 5X and it definitely wasn’t fluffy. These two things gets a 2/5 stars. Over all I liked this place would definitely come back but not for the rice and scallion pancakes.

Small 🥟 dumpling house in Monrovia / east Arcadia area. The food was excellent. I found out about this place from an episode of Mark Wiens and Micky Chen eating together here!!! 👍 👍 👍. The rice and beef bowl, the beef really hit the flavor and was so soft it almost melted in the mouth. The Xiaolongbao broth was very juicy, one of the best I've ever eaten. The Leek and meat dumplings and Fish dumplings were really tasty and the meat was so fresh. Beef noodle soup was excellent too the broth was really flavorful and even though a little oily, the soup really hit the spot. It was not busy especially for dinner on a Saturday evening. The downside was that they did not have an actual menu, so I had to scan and download an online menu, but after 5 mins it was still not working so they gave me a paper menu to order.

Troy L was quick to help us with our order. He was super friendly! We ended up ordering the stewed pork belly and angus beef noodles, soup dumplings and pan fried dumplings. We (kids included) loved the food! Highly recommend! The meats in all the dishes melts in your mouth. The soups the noodles came in is so good! We are so glad we came here to eat!!

Absolutely the best I've ever had, my daughter took me here for Father's Day. And I have to say it was so delicious and worth it to come here! Did I mention two time Michelin star winning restaurant too!! 5 stars in my book

Casual spot with a small menu of dumplings, noodles, and appetizers! Really friendly and quick service. Enjoyed the thin and crispy scallion pancakes, the pan fried pork dumplings, xiao long bao, and pork ears. The best dish here was the pan fried pork dumplings which were juicy and soupy like a xiao long bao.

I've recently been intrigued by the standardization of quality and value of Bib Gourmand establishments in the 626, or lack thereof, and so I came here to see which end of the spectrum this place falls. The space is tiny, with maybe 4 rows of 2 tables and a hallway that goes straight to the counter. There was only one worker at the front, and we were seated at one of the tables. Most people coming in are ordering to go, but there's 1-2 groups lingering around. They had specials for combos, even for dinner which is nice, I had the beef noodle soup with pork dumplings, while my friend had the same order but with chive dumplings. The noodle soup wasn't bad, but I don't think it's so amazing that it blows other places out of the water. Beef is soft and decently tender and flavorful, and comes with some bok choy and noodles. Dumplings were also ok, juicy but the skin was already a bit soggy when served. I was hoping the bottom side was crispier. Prices were relatively ok for dinner, about $18, but I would not say this is amazing for the value. Again, the paradox of Bib Gourmand strikes again; a place may have been worth the price before, but not after achieving the distinction. I would hardly call this place a "city-wide favorite since it opened in 2001" or that it "continues to draw lines so long that servers leave a sign-in sheet outside" like how the Michellin guide describes it. It's just a standard noodle place that's not any better or worse than any other place around the corner.

The Michelin Stars from previous years are fully deserved! We came by for the first time a few weeks back and I wish we had tried them sooner! My wife found it browsing on yelp so we thought to try it. The location itself is pretty small, but the customer service was great. There's nice decor and a TV playing clips with Youtuber Mark Wiens since he came by and gave Luscious Dumplings a raving review. You can either order at the counter or via a QR code from the table. The staff here super nice and really hospitable. He gave us the recommendations on their top items. We ordered some Pork Soup Dumplings, Pan Fried Pork Dumplings and the Angus Stewed Beef Noodle Soup. All the food came out quickly. It's served in plastic containers and all piping hot. So be careful. First impressions, the dumplings are sizable pieces and that beef noodle soup was as advertised! The Pan Fried Dumplings were pretty damn good! The best I have tried. Very crispy and actually filled with some soup in them. The beef soup is a must order! Tender, light broth with tremendous flavor! The Pork Soup Dumplings were huge. All 8pcs had so much soup inside and bursting with flavor. We pretty much smashed all the food. No leftovers! Highly highly recommend trying out Luscious Dumplings!

This Luscious Dumplings location can be found in the same plaza as Good Fortune Supermarket, Lin's Club, Macky's Noodle House. To celebrate Mother's Day early, last Saturday, (because I will be leaving for my vacation during Mother's Day weekend, but don't worry, my brother will celebrate our mother while I am gone), I ended up ordering food to go from Luscious Dumplings. When asked what did my mom want for her early Mother's Day dinner, she said dumpling and noodle. Based on the reviews (overall rating of 4 stars with over 800+ reviews), I decided to order here. I made an order online after 5 pm (when the restaurant reopened for dinner, as they close between lunch and dinner) and ended up choosing: Scallion Pancake, $5.50 prior to tax- Based on the reviews, many Yelp members recommended this. But we were rather disappointed with this because it was just so, so oily. It really should have been drained because it was just drenched in oil. I have definitely had better and would not order this again. Pan Fried Pork, $13.50 prior to tax (10 pieces)- This was another one that was highly recommended to order. And just like the scallion pancake, this was also incredibly oily. I would not order this again either (and yes I have had better). Cabbage Shrimp and Pork Dumpling, $13.50 prior to tax (10 pieces)- We all liked this dumpling and would order again. Mushroom Meat Sauce Dry Noodle, $13.50 prior to tax- I like that the soup was packed separately so that the noodles would not be soggy. I really liked this dish and so did my husband. My mom didn't have any. I thought the mushrooms and ground beef was pretty tasty and I also liked that long noodles that were perfectly cooked. I liked the seasoning on the beef and mushrooms. Angus Stewed Beef Noodle, $14 prior to tax- Definitely a favorite among us all. The beef was tender and flavorful. Also just like the other noodle dish that I had ordered, the soup was also packed separately. There was a pretty good fair amount of beef in this dish. -------------------------------- (Total= $66.31 after tax, prior to tip) My order was ready when I arrived, around 6:10 pm (the order was supposed to be ready by 6 pm). I am sure we will try this restaurant again in the future but will avoid the scallion pancake and pan fried pork dumpling. But would definitely order the other 3 dishes again. Please note that there is seating inside this small restaurant, but only 6- 8 small tables inside. When I arrived, there were 2 small tables still available for seating but most of the other patrons that came in when I came in were just here to get their to go order.

The restaurant is small, but very clean. The staff is friendly and super attentive. Our waiter came back several times to check on us. We only the flaky fish and pork and shrimp dumplings. The taste of the wrapper was extremely good fresh and thin the taste of the pork and shrimp filling was very good. The flaky fish was a little bit too soggy for my taste, but my wife loved it. Their sauce is special. The new sweet and spicy sauce are amazing. The biggest drawback that I have is there for a 10 piece pork and shrimp dumpling it was $17 including tax which I consider a bit too much for 10 pieces. With that said the experience was very good and I will most likely be coming back and recommend displays for someone that is looking for good dumplings

Where can I start? Luscious Dumplings is hands down one of the best hidden gems in town, offering an unbeatable bang for your buck. This place isn't just a random spot; it's been awarded Michelin stars in both 2021 and 2022, but honestly, it deserves even more recognition than that. The food is that good. If you're thinking of coming, be prepared to wait, as the place gets packed, especially during the morning and lunchtime rushes. But trust me, it's worth it. Let's start with the dumplings--juicy, perfectly panfried, and filled with a burst of flavor and juice that practically squirts everywhere when you take a bite. These are some of the juiciest dumplings you'll find in town, and at just $13.50 for 10, it's an absolute steal. Every dumpling is a perfect bite, packed with savory goodness that leaves you craving more. They really hit the mark on texture, with that crispy exterior and tender, flavorful filling inside. Then, there's the scallion pancakes. For only $5.50, you get a crispy, flaky, and flavorful treat that's honestly worth every penny. I don't care what anyone says--these pancakes rival some of the best I've had. They're the perfect accompaniment to your dumplings or on their own if you're feeling snacky. But the real surprise? The beef noodle soup. Now, this dish is an absolute showstopper. The beef tendons in this soup are some of the most tender I've ever had--melt-in-your-mouth good. The broth is rich, hearty, and perfectly balanced, with a depth of flavor that makes you want to keep sipping until the bowl is empty. And let's be real here, the quality and quantity of this soup are way better than what you'd get at a place like Din Tai Fung. Not only is the beef tendon incredibly tender, but the portions are generous, and the noodles are perfectly chewy, making every slurp an enjoyable experience. The best part? You won't be paying an arm and a leg for this level of quality. Luscious Dumplings is a small, humble hole-in-the-wall, but the flavors and the value are top-tier. Din Tai Fung might have the fame and the reputation, but when it comes to quality and quantity at a price that doesn't break the bank, Luscious Dumplings takes the cake. I'm definitely coming back, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an amazing meal that won't disappoint!

Let's get straight to the point! I've passed by this spot for years and finally ran in to get ONE little treat....I had pan-fried chive, pork, egg & shrimp dumplings and they were the BEST DUMPLINGS I've ever had in my life. It's that simple! Of course I'll try more stuff next time!

10000/10 Fried Scallion: Wow, this is undoubtedly the standout item on the menu--and it's also the most affordable! The crispiness, combined with just the right amount of oiliness, makes these fried scallions absolutely irresistible. 6/10 Spicy Wonton Ramen: oh man I wanted to like this so badly! The wontons, soup base, and the choy was SOOO good. However, the ramen itself was so incredibly mid asffff. 8/10 Price: Everything is pre-tax. Fried Scallion: $5.98. Spicy Wonton Ramen: $13.50. 8/10 Environment: This spot is more of a to-go ambiance. When the food comes out they're already in to-go bowls. There are some tables but not a ton.

I gotta say they have the most delicious dumplings and beef noodle soup Scallion pan fried puff pastry is good, too I love their pork soup dumplings which is very juicy The homemade spicy sauce is definitely giving the kick at the dipping Our server is very nice and hospitable with good service I went to the location at Monrovia today for lunch with my friend Luckily, we got a table when we walked because it became a full house within 10 mins There are lots of families there for lunch and everyone is enjoying their meals with good mood We were too hungry to take a picture of food My friend loves the beef noodle soup and will definitely visit it again Parking is easy at the plaza I'm really excited they are expanding to many locations and even Beverly Hills

Small café located in a strip mall that specializes in dumplings as you may have guessed. The folks helping you were cool, but I think if I could remember correctly with this place, you order from the QR code. Just a really great casual café that serves delicious dumplings and other items. Met up with a friend here for dinner. Didn't get any pictures, but I ordered two different types of dumplings. The soup dumplings and some boiled dumplings. Both were super delicious and well put together. They came out really quickly too. I also ordered the broccoli with creamy sesame dressing. such a great side. Parking was very easy because everything around this place closes pretty early and it has a pretty big parking lot

My go to dumplings. You order from the QR code on the table and pay right after sending in your order. This restaurant is still using disposable containers except for steaming baskets. Below is what i always order here: - steamed vegan dumplings- shredded mushrooms carrots etc - stewed beef tendon noodles- best stewed tendon in town- cleaned and no fat attached. - baby bok choy! You have the option to add extra noodles or extra vegetables to the soup noodles. Also there is a new item on the menu- yuzu chicken dumplings. Pretty interesting taste! And i always favor chicken dumplings over pork dumplings. So i welcome this new addition. Parking is in a private parking lot sharing with supermarket and a bunch other restaurants.

We've been here many years ago, when it first opened, and to be honest, at that time, I wasn't impressed. I used to go to the original store in San Gabriel, so I will admit it was hard not to compare. However, after quite a few years and post-Covid, I decided to try this place again. I'm glad I did, as it is way better than the early days, and dare I say, pretty similar to the old store! The space is still the same, not too large, but continuous flow of customers, going in and out. And I did a bit of digging and found out they've expanded quite a bit, so congrats to them! Post-Covid changes I'm sure, one can order everything now online, in addition to ordering via the original paper menu method. Oddly enough, everything was also in to-go containers, another post-covid change I'm sure. I personally prefer a more environmentally-friendly option, but I do get why they chose to do it this way. Dumplings were really quite good - ordered the combo, pickle and pork noodles with cabbage shrimp & pork dumplings, and my husband ordered the pan fried pork, similar to gyozas. Everything was delicious, and service was fast! I ended up ordering take out another day after that, and got to taste the fish dumplings which were really tasty, with a little ginger-y taste, plus their vegan dumplings, which were surprisingly yummy. Wish there were 10 of them instead of 8! Looking forward to checking out the other items on the menu - perhaps they should consider environmentally friendly options for dining in, maybe?

This place attracts many customers, so many signs of Michelin star reviews. There was a wait but we decided to order to go. We ordered pan fried chive dumplings and cabbage pork dumplings. It was a 15minute wait. The place is small, but has god amount of seating. Just need to wait since it can get pretty crowded. As we took our food home they provided chili oil, soy sauce, and vinegar. The dumplings were not crispy since it was a to go order but the filling was good and the dumpling skin is chewy and al dente. Very nice, but for 30$, might be better if we ate there and it's fresh.

I wanted to like this place, but honestly it was just okay. I got the beef noodle soup and the pork and cabbage dumplings combo. The beef noodle soup was quite greasy, but the beef was not bad. Noodles were thin and chewy. The dumplings were okay. Everything was served in to-go containers, though we were dining in. All in all, not sure if I would return.

I ordered the frozen vegetarian dumplings to go. For roughly $1/dumpling, it is pricey but totally worth it. The homemade nature of these dumplings makes it so delicious - no additives, no MSG, just as if you sat down and make them yourself but of course, better. The service was quick and straightforward. The ambience is similar to a typical Asian sit down eatery - like you're in someone's kitchen but with menus. There were about 8 tables and half of them were full, 20 minutes before closing time. I think word has gotten around that they are a great dumpling spot. If looking for recommendations on how to make it even better, I would love to see more vegetarian/vegan options on the menu!!

Very tasty dumpling and noodle, however, one of the worst service here. You have to pay and tip before you get served, and after that, you receive no service whatsoever other than food being delivered. I would not recommend to eat in. Just buy to-go if you are craving for good tasting dumplings.

We stumbled upon this place by accident while looking for noodles, and we're so glad we did! I ordered the pork belly noodle, and my friend had the beef over rice--both were delicious. The service was great, and the overall experience was enjoyable. We'll definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu!

Good flavorful dumpling restaurant but dining in maybe not the best. Food: I tried the soup dumplings, onion pancake, and beef noodle soup. All of them were good. Nothing quite special but the beef noodle was great in regards of having a beef soup taste but was light and refreshing. The price is ~$12 - $15 per dish even dumplings. Service: It was a slight disappointment that everything came in to go containers. You had to order and pay first with tip by scanning a QR code before getting your food even if dining in. Ambiance: The restaurant was quite small and quiet. The TV was playing a strange video of a man in the Middle East.

Good food but not so good kitchen service. I/my family like the pork/shrimp steam dumplings, pork pot stickers, and Angus Beef over rice. The scallion pancakes are too greasy. Tip: if you ever decide to order ahead for pick up, whether it's in person or online, be sure to call to remind them to MAKE your food before your pick up time. There are now 2 instances where I scheduled for 6:30pm pick up and once I arrived, they forgot about the order and just start preparing the food. Unacceptable, for any restaurant. (We want the restaurant to thrive, hence this post. Please improve.)

Luscious Dumplings in Monrovia is a dumpling lover's dream. Easy access within the Mon-Arc shopping center, cozy space, and super easy to order with the QR code menu, and fast service. The Angus stewed beef noodle was outstanding -- rich broth, tender Angus beef, and perfectly chewy handmade noodles. It was hearty and comforting, a must-try for any noodle fan. The pan-fried pork dumplings were equally impressive. Juicy pork filling with a crispy, golden skin made every bite packed with flavor. The pan-fried chive pockets had soft, crispy edges and a fragrant chive-pork filling that was irresistible. Lastly, the scallion pancake was crispy, flaky, and loaded with savory scallion flavor. Luscious Dumplings is a true gem in Monrovia, delivering delicious food and authentic flavors in every dish.

My wife and I happen to be in the area to see a friend, and of course we were hoping to have time to eat at Luscious Dumplings. Yahier was working that day and as always it's always a pleasure talking to him. He always has good recommendations. I went with my usual beef stew, noodles, and dumplings combination. He suggested the pork belly and rice for my wife. She loved it. For a while, I stopped ordering takeout food because the beef stew noodle didn't have the beef stew consume in the soup. Yahier told me that they are doing that now on a regular basis, which is exactly what I want to eat at home, the same thing they serve in the restaurant. We went to see another friend after dinner, and we ended up giving it to him and he loved it. Yahier is so much more friendlier than the previous waiter host they had here before and the take out beef noodle stew has a still very rich sauce in the beef stew, al dente noodles, and a hot broth. to me, the most important thing with the restaurant is having consistency in service and food, taste, and portion, and the flow of keeping things moving

The restaurant is in a plaza with a large parking lot. It can get full since there are plenty of neighboring restaurants. The vegan steamed dumplings have a tasty filling but I don't think its texture belongs in a steamed dumpling. The pan fried pork dumplings are good and surprisingly juicy! I wish they used regular dishes and cups over plastic dish ware but it is easy if you already plan on having leftovers.

Tasty and authentic noodle and dumpling shop. Restaurant is small, and sometimes there's a wait to get a table. I usually like to order for takeout to enjoy at home. Their standout dish is definitely their angus beef noodle soup. It's a popular one so it sometimes gets sold out. The beef is juicy and tender, the veggies are fresh and crunchy, the noodles are just the right texture, and the soup is delicious and fulfilling. I've had their dumplings before, and while good, they aren't standouts compared to their noodle soups or in comparison to other dumplings I've had.

The pan fried pork dumplings are definitely the highlight of this place. Usually, I don't like to order potstickers at restaurants because they're easy to cook at home, but these pan fried dumplings are unique-- super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. They're also a pretty decent size for dumplings. The soup dumplings were also good, and the Angus beef noodle soup was delicious. The beef was perfectly tender and flavorful, and the broth was also delicious. The service was ok; you order online and it took a few tries to get payment through. The server also took a few of our dishes before we were finished, but the food came out fast and the quality is great. There is not too much seating inside-- a few tables for groups of 4-6. You'd likely miss this place if you're just looking around because it's not the biggest storefront, but it's definitely more than meets the eye.

Delicious noodles and wonton. Nice, helpful, attentive waiter gave good advice on which dip goes with the dumplings. Only one restroom here. Around lunch hour, there's a long wait outside the door. Not enough indoor seating to keep the line moving fast. Arriving well before noon, there was plenty for me to choose from. I had: $17.50 Beef Noodle & Dumplings + $13.50 Chive Shrimp and Pork 10pc + tax = 34.17

I havent been here for over 3-4 years. Michelin rated 2021-2022. I have to say the angus beef soup was a lovely surprise. The meat was cut into bite size chunks; not big and hanging with tendons. The vegetables were chopped into smaller size to fit the spoon. You won't be eating like a brontosaurus with leaves hanging out of your mouth. The scallion was so crispy and for $5.50; that's a deal ! I had excellent service and would come again!

In an unassuming plaza is a Michelin star dumpling place! It was full when we arrived, but we're seated in less than 20 minutes. Our waiter was very friendly and food came out delicious and quick for a table of 6! I was recommended by a friend, and calls it the family restaurant she goes very often, and I can see why! We tried: the crab Xiao long Bao (soup dumplings), their popular beef cheese onion pan fried dumplings, their wagu beef noodle soup, their pan fried pork dumplings, beef dumplings, and their wood ear appetizer. All the dumplings were super delicious and savory, juicy, and tasty!! They had an in house sweet and sour sauce that they don't sell (yet) but was a real crowd pleaser for those of us that aren't super into chili oil, but wanted a little more than soy sauce. Service was pretty fast and we were out in an about an hour. Less than a 10 min walk away is one of my favorite ice cream places, 626 Icecream, which was a great dessert to have after a stomach full of dumplings! Will be back again, for sure!

The staff was very friendly! He checked in on us and recommended dishes that would be suitable for our party of two. (We also enjoyed seeing the cute artwork of people making dumplings on the wall!) We also noticed that a lot of people place to-go orders here! The food came out faster than we expected *and* was delicious!! We had a beef noodle soup combo (that came with 5 pcs dumplings of our choice - we went with Pan Fried Pork), beef tendon noodle soup, and (of course) the 8 pcs pork Xiao long bao. The soups were very flavorful, especially with the sweet and spicy sauce that the staff recommended. The beef chunks were very tender as well! All the dumplings we had were nice and juicy (even the pan-fried ones had some juice in them!). I would love to come back someday.

Ordered takeout. Easy online ordering and was ready in about 20 min. I liked the pan fried pork and pan fried beef cheese and onion dumplings. They were crispy and flavorful. Soup dumplings were decent. Boiled chive shrimp dumplings were average. The wrapper were a little too thick and tasted plain. Beef noodle soup was on the lighter side, but the noodle was perfectly chewy and beef was tender and delicious, though chopped into little pieces.

Fantastic! Great choice for a 50th birthday lunch for my boyfriend The star of the lunch, which isn't shown is the pork belly rice bowl. Amazing!

Delicious! Sit down spot with approx 10 tables. You may have a wait. It will be worth it. Order from the QR code on your table. The food service is fast. The flavors & freshness are incredible!!

Solid casual food diner for some dumplings and noodles! You can get a solid meal here of noodles and dumplings for under $20. It's a very quick bite and you pay with a QR code before you get the food. I recommend the pan fried dumpling and mushroom noodle! I hoped the xiao long Bao had more soup but overall for price and convenience, this place meets expectations.

Let's just say the xiaolongbao sold from here is top notch. Much better than DTF. Hands down! Apaches!

Ordered the beef noddle soup. Simple and good. I thought the flavor was average. Good bouncy noodles. The chili sauce adds another needed flavor element. I would recommend adding some chili sauce to elevate the dish.

Small little hole in the wall but worth trying out. Nestled in the middle of a busy shopping center, you wouldn't know that this place is actually Michelin Bib. They have vegan options which is a bonus for me. I tried the vegan dumplings and vegan chicken bowl which was very flavorful. I got my his chicken the beef bowl and a few other porch dumplings to try. We shared the green onion pancake. Food was good and easy to order online for pickup.

Oh this little gem is hidden next to Jim's Burger. Order through QR code. Cold mushroom plate is like I'm not supposed to love this...but I do. Try it all. Soup dumplings are these perfect little yummies..

Very small place with limiting seating so I wouldn't suggest coming here with a big group for a sit down meal. Ideally 2-4 people per group kinda place. Not much of an ambiance but if you're good with takeout style then this is it. Even if you choose dine in option, it'll still be presented to you in takeout style fyi. Parking is definitely limited, but the option u have is to park at the Hyatt which they do validate with valid receipt!. U can park inside the structure if u drive in further but will have to just press the intercom when u leave just to make sure they know, ur ticket is validated. The dumplings here was good! Very juicy! My friends and I shared a variety of their menu from Xiao long bạo, noodles, curry, and obviously dumplings in different forms. All the dishes were pretty good, but if I were to ever come back, the crispy pan fried dumplings is the way to go!

Grabbed dinner here tonight and really loved this place. The name sort of lured me in LOL We ordered the pork dumplings, Angus noodle soup and the pancake, along with some Bok Choy. Everything was really tasty and the prices were decent for what we got. I'd totally come back here one day, when I'm in the area. A must try!

The food is always delicious, especially their dumplings. Also love their mushroom and ground meat noodles and just tried their pork belly with rice which absolutely rocks!

Came here with my daughter and we ordered the scallion pancake and soup dumplings. Both food items were pretty good. The dough for the dumpling was just right. I've been to other places and dough was a bit thick and hardly any soup inside. Would come out here again. The bad thing is it's a bit far for us but it's worth it.

I used to like this place but it's gone down hill. It's so sad they are using plastic bowls with scorching hot soup. I can feel the microplastic being released and consumed into my body. This is terrible for the environment and costumers' health. Such a turn off and I would not return again. Restaurant is really trying to save money on hiring dishwasher personnel I think. It's just environmentally irresponsible.

First, you have to order through a QR code app called "Toast." Second, it's confusing and even the employees didn't understand how to use the system. They said it was their boss's idea to implement the system. Third, they made a mistake by double charging us because they were confused with the system. Finally, after you order and before they even start cooking your food, they ask for a tip of either 15%, 20%, or 25% on the toast app. Yet the only two kinds of service you get is when they bring out the food and give you the plastic lid for the leftovers that are served in one time use plastic containers. The dumplings tasted good, but I wouldn't say they were amazing. Food: 4 Service: 3 Ambiance: 3

Food is just as good, but we are in 2025, it's time to get rid of all the plastic bowls and utensil. Especially them black containers are highly cancerous!

Love this family owned local chain with some of the best dumplings in the whole county. Pork dumplings and beef noodle soup hitting the spot, and it's a tiny restaurant but things move pretty quick with the QR codes on the table for ordering (they got paper menus too).
