LUYU DUMPLINGS

A very unassuming but small and cozy spot for fresh dumplings, yet has some of the best tasting dumplings I've had in the SGV. We got the pan fried buns, fish dumplings, and egg pancakes. Everything was delicious but my favorite was definitely the fish dumplings. The buns were crispy and juicy, and the egg pancake was really unique. The prices were unbeatable as well. And despite it being 8pm, the place was packed with a wait, with only one lady working the front. She was still very attentive and friendly, and we didn't have to wait long for the food. This place deserves the love!

Absolute hole in the wall place! Michelin 2025 ?! Glad me and my friends tried this place out. It was an amazing experience with the food and the service. There was a sweet lady working there when we visited. She was the person handling operations in the front beside the kitchen staff. She went out of her way to give a dish to one of my friend’s kid, as she was concerned if the kid was eating. It was the care and afterthought that she had, and made it such a wonderful experience. We had the JJ noodle and beef noodle which was hand made noodle, with perfect texture. The Xiao long Bao was really good, juicy and at a great price! Potstickers were crispy and packed, and we even really enjoyed their hot and sour soup. Their cold cucumber dish was cold and crisp! Only thing to note is that the sign on top shows a beauty place where their actual logo and sign is under. They have outdoor and indoor seating, and are well prepared for any small children with high chairs. Definitely will be on one of my top go to spots from now on. Can’t wait to try some other dishes next time! Until then!

This place was OUTSTANDING! We had the Spicy noodles, shrimp fried rice, garlic cucumber salad and the potstickers.. all of it was delicious! Prices were incredibly inexpensive- food was seasoned to perfection-no wonder this place has a Michelin star!!

I was invited to dining with my friend at LULU Dumplings Restaurant. I was thrilled to dining here because of the quality of food , and excellent above and beyond services I experienced. Its home style restaurant perfectly suits my needs on so many levels. In a month,I was dining at this restaurant five times already. Speaking of the service, the waitress in this restaurant is exceptional , compassionate and outstanding. She is handing over 14 tables all by herself. From taking orders, to handing foods, from serving to taking care every customer's need. She serves in a professional way that is polite, super friendly . No matter how busy she is, my needs never be ingorned . Every time. I was there, I felt welcomed, and appreciated no matter a small take out orders or sit in orders . She is indeed the best waitress I could hope for: super kind, care and compassinates. Not only the best service this restaurant provide , the food are the best in a kind, authentic , home style and super delicious . I had the best pork and leek dumpling for a long time. Juicy , perfection in taste and combination of the vegetable and meat . One bite of this dumpling, I experienced mother's love. If you love spicy dishes. My favorite dish is the Chile Spicy mix noddles. The crunchess of the handmade noodle with the homemade chilles with seasmine oil and green onion . Simple yet addictive taste that I have had only in China . The best part of LUYU Dumpling is price affordability, each order is super economical. Each dish is unique yet super affordable . A side dish of cucumber with garlic is only $4.80 . One of kind of jewel restaurant in Rowland heights. Simplicity yet super exceptional . It is my type of restaurant which provides the best service and quality of food. Just the best !

It's a small informal place, not big on fancy decor....you might think it's dark and dingy...and maybe the rating scares you off...but do not walk away like we almost did ...stay stay stay and eat ....because the food is oh-so-gooooood. I'm allergic to shrimp and I was so happy to see that we could have won ton soup without shrimp...the menu is very clear about shrimp content. Yayyy finally. The pork fried dumplings are delicious, 5/5...perfectly fried perfect well-made dumplings!! The pork wonton soup made us smile. And my mom couldn't believe the more-than-reasonable prices, no wonder the place was packed with young 20something Asian diners at noon. The kids know good cheap eats. Annie is the server doing everything so be patient, but she's watchful and friendly...and if you need it, easy to flag her down. Annie is doing it all....very sweet and friendly. Highly recommend.

Wide variety of different dumplings. You can order them steam, boil or pan fried. They will cook them the way you like. Waitress told us to tried their handmade spicy noodles. Handmade noodles are very Q. We also like the cucumbers. Very affordable place. She noticed it’s our first time here so she gave us complimentary egg pancake. Very good customer service. We saw about 7 people in the kitchen making food. Everything seems to be made fresh on site.

The best dumplings I’ve had in the state. 100% authentic. I've been eating here for years! I found out they’re in the Michelin 2025 guide. Good job, Michelin, lol. It’s about time.

I cannot stress enough that this is the best spot in all of Socal for handmade dumplings and noodles -- the flavor, the texture, the chew are all unreal. Only recently discovered Luyu but will forever be coming back to this hidden gem. I always order their classic beef noodle soup which is such a light, flavorful broth with these thick, knife-cut noodles. Other honorable mentions are the shrimp, pork, leek dumplings and scallion pancake. You can tell that everything is hand made -- I even enjoy watching the chefs at work through the side door! Don't let the run-down environment or rushed service get you because Luyu is seriously the best.

Great hole in the wall venue for XLB, dumplings, pot stickers and noodles! They've been at this location for awhile but still feels like a well kept secret. Small dining room and very low key as you'd expect from these Chinese restaurants. Small staff but very friendly and attentive. Check out my pics!

Luyu Dumplings is under the radar insanely good. The interior is very modest with minimal seating. To help you order, there are portrait sized photos of their menu items. Excellent visual aids to help you decide. My friend and I shared the following: -pan fried pork buns ($9.64 for 8 pieces) -pork and cabbage dumplings ($7.80) -chili spiced mixed noodles ($7.82) -scallion pancake beef roll ($9.64) You may think dumplings are dumplings, but the ones crafted at Luyu are of a special breed. They are so juicy and the ones I ordered tasted distinctly pork and cabbage flavored. And likewise the pan fried dumpling were very much pork flavored. It's this subtle detail that makes each so indescribably good. What I think often are the chili spiced mixed noodles. They look unimpressive, but smell divine. The thick noodles are topped with heaps of garlic, a chili mix and scallions. They're minimally dressed, but pack in so much flavor. Moreover, the noodles are cooked al dente and have just the right amount of bounce and chew. If I could, I'd give Luyu Noodles 1,000 stars. I can't recommend coming here enough.

I'll start by saying the food was amazing but what's also surprising to me was that the prices haven't seemed to changed w/ inflation the entire time this place has been open (according to photos of the old menu). Don't want to make any assumptions about the future, but this is definitely my new favorite hole-in-the-wall Chinese spot in the area. We had the shrimp/pork dumplings (steamed, you can choose that or pan fried though), pork/cabbage dumplings (pan fried), beef noodle soup (tender slices of meat, chewy textured hand pulled noodles, and soup that wasn't too flavorful or too bland, perfect to sip on, but also not your typical taiwanese beef broth. A little lighter), chili spice mixed noodles (super garlicky and delicious), and the juicy pork steam dumplings (xiao long bao, not the best I've ever had but the flavor was all there). Waitress was attentive, nice, and patient with all patrons around us. It's a pretty small location and the exterior sign is a little hard to see from the street but that adds to the hole-in-the-wall coziness and allure to me. Will say they'd probably be a lot more popular if they opened in another plaza (Yes/Diamond), but I take that as a win for us that have been as it wasn't super crowded when we went for Tuesday dinner. I'll be back to try their scallion pancake/beef rolls

Great mom and pop shop for cheap and quick Taiwanese food. Less than $10 for most dishes! + 41. Cucumber Salad with Garlic ($3.72): huge portion for so cheap. Very crunchy and garlicky, but a tad too salty (7.3/10) + 32. Shanghai Pan Fried Pork Baos ($9.64 for 8 baos): fried like gyoza with a flat cornstarch like base. Bit too much moisture so was wet and didn't have the fluffy bao-like top. Wasn't juicy, but was filled w tender pork and had a crispy base. (7.5/10) + 19. Chicken Sesame Sauced Mixed Noodles ($8.72): chewy, ragged noodles w shredded chicken and cucumber slices made a good combo. (8/10)

Found this simple no-frills place and we were pleasantly surprised. The server steered us towards the first 2 menu items that were starred. We liked the pan-fried style better. It came out piping hot whereas the boiled dumpling were hot but too hot that I couldn't just eat it whole without burning my mouth. We will be back when we are in the area again.

Small hole in the wall with incredibly chewy noodles, delicious dumplings, in all varieties, and great appetizers. If you're looking for that Q Noodle, this place has it. Prices are so reasonable here and the food comes out really quickly. But this is a small location, so if you have a large party (8+) it may be difficult to get seated all at once when they're busy. Food: - Mixed chili garlic noodle: this was my favorite, with a great savory flavor once the bowl is mixed up and the delicious chewiness of the noodle. A must! - Black Bean noodles: not as great as the mixed chili garlic noodle IMO, maybe because it's not as salty lol They could use more black beans sauce. - Cucumber salad: more salty and vinegary than sweet. - Kelp salad: Tasty appetizer - Chicken and celery dumplings: they use Chinese celery, which is more aromatic than American celery. I really enjoyed this one, but it may not be for those who don't like the taste of Chinese celery. - Beef and radish dumplings: pretty good, the radish taste subtle but there. Not a whole lot of meat. - Fish and chives dumpling: there was more chives than fish meat, but still good. - Shandong wrap: Outside layer is an egg based crêpe, and the inside has a Chinese fried doughnut, smeared with peanut sauce and shredded lettuce. I wasn't a fan of this one, but others enjoyed it. - Hot and sour soup: tasty, and a large portion They also have frozen dumplings for sale. Overall, I would come here again for those chewy chewy QQ noodles and try some more different flavors of dumplings.

Not an overall pleasant experience. Was looking for dumplings that's not just Din Tai Fung and wanted to support a small business. Service wasn't great. We walked in and it took about 5 minutes for a server to walk in from another room to assist us. Random side note, the tables are really sticky for some reason. Like, sticky in the sense it's Texas weather where it's humid and hot and your arms stick to the table, even though you're clean and the table is clean... We got orders of lamb/fenugreek and a beef dumpling. I really felt like the beef dumpling was undercooked. I'd bite into each one and it'd taste and feel underdone... I also wasn't a fan of the quality of ground beef they used, I'd get bits of small bones that shouldn't be there. The lamb/fenugreek one was good, unique in my opinion and tasted good. I don't think I'll be back to be honest. There's plenty of other dumpling spots that don't leave me wanting at the end of the meal. If you're to come here, I recommend their other dishes as those looked decent.

Parking: it was an okay amount of parking but it will get filled fast as there are other eateries and a small area. Inside: VERY SMALL. Big parties will wait a while Service: there were several people working the kitchen including a few older women making the dumplings fresh . There is only ONE server whenqe went . That's probably the normal . The wait time for food was LONG. L O N G . The food comes a little bit at a time as it's made but my partner and I were there for a little bit for our items . The bigger your party the longer you'll wait. Food was pretty good! I would like to go here again when it's not so busy Hope this helps :)

Located in a small shopping center across from Boomers on the way to Costco. Keep a look out since the signage isn't noticeable. Small restaurant with a few tables and a bit aged, but the pricing and mom & pop home cooking is what makes this place stand out. Taste of their dishes remind me of old school family cooking. Solid good tasting food. What's amazing is the pricing! Dishes here are about 1/2-2/3 the cost compared to other places. For example their pan fried pork dumplings (10 pieces) was less than $9 - what a bargain. In top of that, they tasted great - flavorful, juicy, and had a beautiful nice crust. Service is very good too. It's a mom & pop so set that as your expectations. Definitely will come back to try their other dumpling choices - there's quite a few. It's a bargain here!

This is a hole in the wall, mom and pop shop that is tasty, affordable, and feels homey. We went here starving, and definitely ordered with our eyes. The menu has many different types of dumplings and noodles. I love lotus root and was delighted to know there was a pork and lotus root dumpling to choose! I loved the crunchy texture the lotus root provided. The dumplings were definitely juicy. We ordered 12 pork and lotus root dumplings, 12 pork and cabbage dumplings, 1 hot and sour soup, 1 chili spice mixed noodle, 1 cold cut beef, and 1 cold cucumber salad with garlic. It was definitely too much food for 2 people, but who doesn't love left overs. The servings are generous! The cold cut beef is plenty and the cucumber salad is plenty, and especially the hot and sour soup is a great deal, and we had 4+ bowls of soups and took some home too. I love the texture of the noodles, and the dumplings too! I love how much garlic is in everything! Food is supposed to make you happy, and we were pleased with our meal! This place got very busy while we were here when we went for a weekday dinner. Parking is easy! Service was friendly! Will be back!

No frills, mom and pop type of restaurant. It sits in a very unassuming plaza but don't let that deter you! Food is DELICIOUS and AUTHENTIC and portion sizes are generous. Best yet - the prices are verryyy reasonable. - Hot and Sour soup: came out in this huge serving and was steaming hot. Hot and sour usually isn't my jam (personal preference), but my husband and in-laws love hot and sour soup, and my husband said that this is one of the best that he's had. - Pork and Cabbage dumplings: super flavorful and delicious! They have tons of different flavors that you can try, so I'll definitely be back to try more. I loved that they had options for varying amounts of dumplings. - Beef noodle soup: this was probably the star of the show! Broth was flavorful and hearty. I think they hand make the noodles themselves, which made it all the more better! They're thick and super chewy - sooo good!! - Xiao Long Bao: tasty but a little on the sweeter side. Not our favorite place for XLBs, but they were still solid. Personally, I'll probably opt for other dumplings instead next time. I'll definitely be back here again!! You can also get frozen dumplings and XLB to steam yourself at home... Will give that a shot next time too!

This is without question delicious place to eat. I give everything that we ate a 5 star rating. The only thing that bothered me was that even with an A health rating, my table required that I wipe it down myself very well because it was black with filth from being outside. These are the items we ate and I will be back. 1. Chili Spice Mixed Noodles, 2. Beef Noodle Soup 3. Juicy Pork Steamed Dumplings 4.Sichuan Spicy Wonton in Red Oil

Love this place. Small restaurant with 8-10 tables and usually have 1 person working the front. Great food options, we usually get the pork wontons in chili oil, egg fried rice, cucumbers, and pot stickers. We recently got the chili beef mixed noodles and juicy pork steam dumplings. My favorites are fried rice and pork wontons in chili oil. Most dishes are under $10 and definitely worth it. THe lady in the front is always nice and this is definitely our go to dumpling spot.

Location: Arrived at 1PM on a Friday and the place was decently busy. Luyu is in a small strip mall and we were able to find parking in the lot easily. Ambiance: Casual, epitome of hole in the wall place. Food: Authentic Chinese food, no frills. We ordered the chili noodles, pork cabbage dumplings, and the pan fried pork buns. The price is super reasonable and the food was large in portions as well. The chili noodle texture was chewy and the sauce had a kick to it. The dumpling skins are on the doughier side. The pan fried buns were our favorite--clearly made to order. The food was overall on the saltier side, especially the noodles. I also would recommend bringing your own water--the water they served had a strange aftertaste to me. Service: Service was notably fast. The staff had a very no nonsense air about them. You can see the people in the kitchen making the dumplings!

When considering the cost of food this past year, let's just say the menu itself was a convincing enough factor for us to give this small and quaint hole in the wall a shot. After a busy Sunday morning, my friend and I decided to stop by the restaurant which is tucked away in a non assuming plaza which we almost drove by twice. We ordered the pan fried dumplings, the spicy wontons, and XLB. First off, less than $10 per plate... what a bargain to say the least. The show stopper was the chili garlic hand pulled noodles, which without any other meat was a m a z i n g. We had a feeling the meal was going to be amazing based off the fact that you could see them making and folding the dumplings fresh in the kitchen. A MUST TRY and will definitely be coming back!

At 139 reviews (as of 11/23), it's hard to say that this place is a hidden gem, but this place exudes that hidden/ neighborhood gem energy. What this place lacks in ambiance and menu size, it more than makes up for it in delicious, flavorful food with more than reasonable prices. This place feels family owned and operated with sweet people running it. It was one of those nights where I wasn't too familiar with the area and I couldn't figure out what I wanted to eat. So glad I decided on this place. I ordered the chili spice mixed noodles and pan fried pork buns. The pork buns were so crispy and juicy. I was enjoying the flavor and texture in every bite. A nice crunch followed by flavorful pork and after dipping it into some vinegar - yum! The garlic chili noodles. Wow. The noodles were thick and super chewy and had tons of garlic, some creaminess, and a small kick. I added some chili oil for a bit of extra spice. Not sure if I was just super hungry but I really was savoring this meal. I got here about 45 min before close on a weeknight so parking in the lot of this tiny strip mall was super easy and I was seated right away. I totally recommend this place and these are the types of places in my personal perfect world where we support.

I came here on someone's recommendation since I was in the area. We had the xiao long bao soup dumplings (flavors pork and shrimp with pork), the chili spicy noodles and the egg fried rice. The egg fried rice was just okay. It was pretty bland on its own so you'd really have to season it with spices and sauces on the table. I would skip this one if I were to come back. The soup dumplings were solid. I'd give them a 4/5 because the dumplings could have been juicier with more pronounced flavors. Otherwise, the texture of the meat and the skin were good. Skin is a little on the thicker side compared to other soup dumplings, but they held up well, so you don't have to worry about being so careful handling them. The highlight was definitely the chili noodles. There was a large amount of minced garlic that it really enhanced the complexity of the flavors from the ingredients. The noodles were hand-made and chewy which really makes the texture of the entire dish pleasing. Compared to the other things we had, this one stood out the most. I've heard the service was great at this place, but the day I went left something else to be desired. There was only one waitress staffing a full house, so understandably she was overwhelmed. But she did mess up our order once. If I were to go back, it would be because I want to get the chili noodles again, and since I'm there I might as well get the dumplings again too. But I wouldn't come here just for the dumplings.

Hole in the wall Chinese spot serving up some tasty dumplings. Came here for dinner with my parents on a Sunday evening and ordered the juicy pork steak dumplings, chili spiced beef noodles, Sichuan spicy wonton, beef roll, and hot & sour soup. They do accept credit cards. Free parking lot available. We did not see a public restroom. Indoor dining only (no outdoor seating). All of the food we have was tasty, although my favorites had to be the noodles in the spiced beef noodles (I'm a big fan of the chewy texture) and the spicy wontons (which had a nice heat that wasn't overwhelming). There was a good amount of meat in the dumplings and the portion size for the hot & sour soup was huge. We had leftovers for lunch the following day. If k had to drop one thing, it would've been the beef roll, though I did enjoy how it was like a Chinese burrito. Service was friendly enough and we were in and out within an hour.

Small place and very casual and cheap. We ordered some juicy dumplings, pan fried juicy dumplings and hot and sour soup and they all tasted very good and very big portion. We also ordered a cucumber salad and that's refreshing. Cheap eat; whole meal only costed us 35-40 bucks which is very cheap nowadays. They also sell frozen dumplings as well.

The food is good here but it's real gross when the menus are sticky and grimy. The soy sauce and jars of chili paste on the tables are sticky and gross too. Asked for a box for 11 dumplings to go and asked for soy sauce packets and she gave me one packet. I kept thinking if the stuff outside the kitchen was this grimy and dirty , what's the kitchen look like?

Pricing is awesome for what you are getting. Love the garlic cucumber. Dumplings made fresh each day. A hole in the wall that we now visit regularly

Nice little "Mom and Pop" restaurant with good food, good service, and really good prices. The pan fried dumplings were tasty and juicy, and the beef noodle soup was satisfying on a cold night. The flavor is lighter than other beef noodle soups I've had, but still good. Next time I'm going to try the other dumplings. The restaurant is located on Castleton near the spa, so it's easy to miss if you drive too fast. But it reminds me of little places I used to go to as a kid and I'll be back. Good food at really good prices - a great find in today's economy.

One of the most hidden and expected places to see in a Michelin guide. Dumplings are hand made and fresh and very authentic.

TLDR: Food runs salty, service is excellent, and portions are generous relative to prices. - - - - - - Parking at Luyu Dumplings was easy, though getting in might be hard. If you miss a turn, you'll spend an extra 10 minutes circling the block! I visited Luyu Dumplings with a friend and was awestruck at their prices, which were quite affordable. The best part is you can try quite a bit, since their portions and prices were more than fair. We tried the pork and leek dumplings, egg fried rice, and the pork with bean sauce noodles. Overall, the dishes tended to steer towards the saltier side and had me reaching towards the water. Their 18 piece dumplings were very cheap compared to other locations and tasty, though a bit doughier. The pork with bean sauce had a watery sauce that was a hint spicy but also salty. Although the food erred on the saltier side for me, I really enjoyed the service and the opportunity to speak with the server. Our server was extremely patient and even conversed casually. Their service, affordability, and taste are likely well received by the local community, because they almost had a full house on a weekday night at 7:30pm!

Wow! Pleasantly surprised with the tasty dumplings and noodles! Prices were reasonable and none of their dishes have peanuts, so that's a plus in our household. We will go back! Tonight we were tired and hungry after a full day at the Magic Kingdom so I forgot to snap pictures as our dishes arrived. Five of us shared: Scallion pancake Szechuan Spicy Wontons Pan fried Pork buns Fish and Leek Dumplings Chicken and Celery Dumplings Pork with Bean Sauce Mixed Noodles Chili Spiced Mixed Noodles The dumplings were hand made with a generous portion of moist filling. The noodles were hand made and chewy in texture. The chili spice ones had a lot of garlic and the flavor was delicious. The bean sauce noodles was also good. We really liked the noodle texture and chewiness. The spicy wontons had a really good flavored sauce that was a little sweet and not too spicy. The other dishes were not bad. The small restaurant was pretty busy with people dining in and also picking up take out orders. There was only 1 waitress taking orders, serving, and cleaning tables. She was doing it all and service was pretty good.

Really great little dumpling restaurant in a small strip mall. Jiao zi were very good and the beef roll is also very tasty. The sheng jian was ok- but wish it had a little more soup inside. The aiye gave us their cold cucumber no charge and it was amazing. Really really good. I'd go back if I was in the area.

If you're looking for a place with bang for the buck, this is it. I was craving for Xiao long bao, so I looked for several places near Hacienda Heights/ Rowland Heights area. Most of the places opened until 3pm and reopened for dinner, and this one was the only one that remained open. The restaurant may look not very clean to some people so I suggest you bring your own water or wipe down dishes before you eat. (I normally carry my own water, for I don't like the taste of tap water.) We went in for late lunch and was very surprised how decently their items were priced. Honestly, I didn't have much expectation, but their food exceeded it. Well, I was a bit disappointed that there was no cilantro in beef roll, and the pork dumplings dough was a bit thick though. But overall, they were all good, and again, you can't beat that price. Everything came out to under $50 for 5 dishes, and not to mention, four of us were very full. Just don't expect their food quality to be a high end, and I'm sure you'll leave with a happy stomach.

Last time I went to Luyu Dumplings with a friend, the waiter spoke mostly in Chinese. I wanted to order takeout, and this time, I utilized the dwindling remainder of my Mandarin Chinese to order takeout on the phone. While I practiced a script of my order, I still didn't understand much of what the waiter said. I had to clarify in English that I didn't want to order their frozen dumplings. Nevertheless, I ordered successfully, and the dumplings and fried rice came ready for takeout within 15 minutes as promised. Luyu Dumpling's prices are significantly affordable in my opinion. The 30-count set of pork with cabbage dumplings cost $17.60, and a box of egg fried rice cost $6.89. My family and I shared the dumplings for lunch, and I had them for leftovers on three separate days. The dumplings tasted good with an adequate amount of soup in them but not as much as xiao long bao. The fried rice tasted delicious, and I had a lot for lunch. I most definitely want to come back here to order more diversely and try their xiao long bao, potstickers, scallion pancakes, or beef noodle soup. Overall, Luyu Dumplings is on my list for one of the affordable restaurants I've ever come across for good Chinese food.

We've been on a dumpling and bao kick for awhile now and discovered this place for ourselves a few months ago. Since then, this has been our go to dumpling place for pot stickers (for my son) and noodles (for my dad). It's a very unassuming hole in the wall with limited seating and just one lady working the front, but it's absolutely one of the best places in the area in terms of getting a bang for your buck. Seriously, I was paying these prices in SGV back in the late 2000's and they are solid, satisfying dumplings. Aside from the dumplings and pot stickers which are very solid, a couple of standouts here for us: Chili Spice Mixed Noodles - Cheapest noodle on the menu and honestly my favorite. The meat is fine, I can take it or leave it, and the chili sauce is good, but the star of the show is the noodle itself. Great texture and flavor for anyone who appreciates the noodle itself. Absolutely invest in a bowl of these if this is your first time here, or any time after that. Hot and Sour Soup - I'm not sure what it is about their hot and sour soup that makes it stand out, but it's really good. It's easily our favorite restaurant hot and sour soup and something my wife has specific cravings for. Anyone who appreciates hot and sour soup or on the fence and willing to try, give it a shot and let me know if you can verbalize what I can't. Egg fried rice - I never order egg fried rice at restaurants since we can just make it at home, but our friend kept raving about the fried rice here so we decided to give it a shot. It's good. They definitely have wok hei in their fried rice and it's just a satisfying dish. I'm still not ordering egg fried rice going forward on principle, but I'm honestly tempted each time I'm here. Not much else to say, but I want to emphasize again the value you're getting for your money here. Great food, great prices, they absolutely earned their Bib Gourmand.

This is my go to dumpling spot when I am in the area. The service is always really quick. The food is amazing , these dumplings do have a bit of broth inside them so keep that in mind when going for that first bite. It always feels pretty cozy when dining in but nothing beats dumplings when they are just prepared.

Stumbled upon this mom and pop dumpling place while going Black Friday Shopping. We were in the area and wanted lunch before our next stop. Yelped it and found this place. We were seated immediately. The restaurant was about 70% full. The lady gave us the menu and we were all shocked! The prices were too good to be true. With inflation and prices going up, this place had really good prices. Dumplings for under $10. I don't think you can find any place at that price point anymore. We decided on the xiao long bao, the potstickers, the tomato and egg noodles, cold cucumber and the spicy wonton. The xiao long bao was tasty with lots of soup, the potstickers were crunchy on the outside. The tomato and egg noodles were served with very long knife cut noodles, very flavorful. The cold cucumbers were salted just right. The spicy wonton was more sweet than spicy but still good. Overall food was decent, not the best but at that price point I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area. Service was decent. We had to ask for water but its reasonable since it was only one lady manning the restaurant. It's located in a plaza so we had no trouble finding parking.

I love luyu dumplings. I've been coming here for over 5 years and the quality has remained the same. Very humble restaurant and workers by the way. The price is unbeatable for the taste in quality.

Located in a small parking lot, you might miss it cause the big sign on top is for the beauty shop next door. It's a small mom and pop shop that has... Some interesting setup in there. A good amount of people too. For 3 of us we ordered mostly snacks. The soup dumpling had a good amount of soup inside and the tomato egg noodle was very heartwarming. Everything else was pretty good too! Get the noodles.

It was a very pleasant surprise. It's a small place with no more than 10 tables. There are many different types of dumplings to choose from. We got the pork with chives dumplings, pan fried bao, marinated cucumbers, beef noodles with hot sauce, sour and spicy soup, lamb dumplings, and cold beef. Their taste was surprisingly good. They don't give you anything flash, but simple flavorful homemade cooking taste. Will definitely go back again!

Omg!! my boyfriend and i came to this place because someone had recommended it. 10/10!! food is soooo good and relatively cheap for how big the portions are. such a cute little hole in the wall! i will definitely be coming back

I always stop by here for lunch or dinner whenever I'm in the area! Highly recommend this dumpling restaurant. I love their shrimp fried rice, beef noodle soup, shrimp, pork, and leek dumplings as well as their lamb and fennel dumplings. I enjoy pairing my dumplings with vinegar. Their food is fantastic at really good prices.

In one of my food chats people were saying this dumpling spot had some fairly good dumpling's so I had to give it a try. For three dishes I was expecting the bill to about $40 but to my surprise it turned out to be $25 which is quite reasonable and worth a continuous visit. I enjoyed all three of the dumplings I ordered. The XLB was pretty tasty with juice dripping from my mouth. The pan fried dumpling had good flavor but it could've been a bit more crusty in my opinion but I still enjoyed it. The boiled dumpling were good as well. The place is small with tight seating and you can buy frozen dumplings to go. Actually I wasn't aware that the boiled dumplings were on the side of the menu that were for frozen sales. I'll be back to try other dishes like the noodle dishes and lamb dumplings. I was greeted when I went inside and service was quick. After ordering I got my to go dishes within 20 minutes. This location has plenty of parking for this small restaurant.

Small mom and pop shop with amazing deals! My favorite is the pan fried pork baos and the beef with raddish dumplings! I had tried the beef rolls which tasted different from a lot of the places I have tried. The wrap was more chewy and not flaky like I thought it would be. The beef was soft, not really seasoned and inside had lettuce. They also had lamb with fennel which was very delicious! I'm not a fan of fennel- it has a similar taste to dill. All dumplings were cooked perfectly and all pieces were juicy. The hot and sour soup was different- not how I have had it before at Chinese restaurants in areas like Monterey park. It didn't have minced meat and the flavor profile was different and very tart. Their spicy wontons are good! The sauce is not too spicy and kinda sweet. I would definitely come back for more dumplings in the future! You can order in sets of 12, 18, or 30! It's a really great deal. The establishment is small so I would only recommend to dine in groups of 4 or less. I have tried fine in and take out and both times were great!

Nice local dumpling place. Tastes like homemade dumplings and the lamb ones are tasty if you like that. The dumplings are thicker than the ones you would find at other places which is not a bad thing. Can order ahead which is always nice and the prices are not bad

Hole in the wall restaurant located in a quiet plaza that I forget exists. You gotta flag the owner down for service when you need stuff. Luyu Dumplings offers more than just its namesake, including noodles, cold side dishes, and other entrees. Our party of 5 ordered several dishes to share family style. Prices were super affordable; it was $14 per person after tax and tip. - Juicy Pork Steam Dumplings ($7.80 - 8 pcs). Standard pork xiao long bao. Juicy, but light on flavor. - Pork with Cabbage Dumplings ($7.80 - 12 pcs). I liked the flavor better than the XLB, but the dumplings could have been juicer. - Pan-fried Pork Bun ($9.64 - 8 pcs). Decent. Not super juicy, but crispy exterior. - Beef Noodle Soup ($9.64). Savory clear light broth, soft braised beef shank, thick and chewy hand-pulled noodles, bok choy. This one was my favorite dish. - Scallion Pancake Beef Roll ($9.64). Soft type of pancake. The beef was also soft. The roll had shredded romaine lettuce which was different. My friends enjoyed this one the most, but I thought it was just alright.

Great food. Affordable pricing. Highly recommend checking this place out. The owner is very sweet.

The price is the real selling point. At a lower cost than any other dumpling place, these obviously won't be the best dumplings you have ever had. That said, they are still get the job done. They were well seasoned and balanced in flavor. Wrappers were fresh and had a good QQ feel. I would have liked more filling, but at the price, I won't complain. Service was a bit slow, and they did get our order wrong at first. No doubt this was due to the fact they only had one poor waiter serving the entire restaurant. The dining room was a bit messy and not the cleanest. Once again, the price is the reason to come. A great place to fill up on dumplings and have a casual meet up friends.

I would totally go back! The food was delicious, everything we ordered was tasty and fresh. Low price point too, 5 of us ate for $22/each and we took home leftovers. Cute little hole in the wall, that I loved.

Hole-in-the-wall kind of place off Castleton in the City of Industry. The employees are nice. The food is reasonably priced for the portions. The dumplings are good, but I really like the spicy noodles. They also do takeout and delivery as well. The interior is rather small so I would recommend only for small groups.

If you want REALLY cheap and affordable Chinese food, this is the place to go! The only con is the slow service, as there's only one waiter managing this entire business. The restaurant is also really tiny, as my friend and I had to wait outside for 20 minutes before we got seated around 6:30 pm on Sunday night. The food itself isn't anything unique besides that it was cheap; I definitely have had better in San Gabriel Valley Area. 1) Chili Spicy Noodles: 8/10 Noodles were an interesting consistency in your mouth and the flavors were great together. It's an affordable and filling meal for the price you pay ($7.82?!) 2) Beef Noodle Soup: 7/10 Again, not much new things to expect from a beef noodle soup besides really soft beef and affordable price. It's a decently huge bowl for only ~$10. It's not that common to find prices this low anymore and the noodles were super thick and chewy, definitely an interesting texture. I liked how the soup wasn't too oily compared to other restaurants. 3) Pan-Fried Dumplings: 6/10 I expected more from this dish... but it just tasted like a normal dumpling except that the meat was different than other places. I thought there would be soup inside the dumpling but that wasn't the case. I felt like it was more "doughy" than meat so the portion wasn't too generous. 4) Pork w/ Shrimp & Leek Dumplings: 5/10 The dumplings were solid but again nothing too special besides that it was really cheap. My friend and I ordered 12 pieces for ~$9! It's pretty worth for that many. The only con was that you need to eat it QUICKLY because it gets cold and then it's no longer juicy. Overall, decent place for cheap food. The restaurant needs more waiters because there's a crowd of people, and the sign is hard to spot when you're trying to find the location.

Great under-the-radar place to get dumplings and pan fried buns without a long wait. Luyu Dumplings sits in this weird spot that's in a plaza that is hugging a curve, that is in between the freeway, Puente Hills Mall and Costco. The don't have a restroom in their place but you are able to use the restroom at the beauty spa next door which makes for a really, really nice restroom for a hole-in-the-wall restaurant. They have various dumplings, potstickers, steamed soup dumplings, pan fried buns, noodles, fried rice, soups and green onion pancakes. Potstickers - These come ten per order. The are served upside down with the spiderwebbing on top, just how I like it. I did read reviews where they said the skin was very soft so I asked for them to pan fry these crispier and they came out great. If you like them crisp on one side, be like me and ask them to cook it longer. I think I would have been disappointed if I didn't ask for that. As for filling in the potsticker, they only have one pork variety vs. with the boiled dumplings there are 16 different meat and veggie combos. Taste was good, what I expect from a potsticker. Pork with Green Wonton Soup - For $7.80 this is a massive bowl of bowl of soup. I think there were eight wontons in there? If you get the "with green" version, the greens are not in the wontons, the greens are in the soup, which consists of green onions, fried onions, cilantro and seaweed. A simple but refreshing soupl. Good for sharing or for a meal by itself. Green Onion Pancake - This, as served was a bit disappointing. Their green onion pancake is thin like a tortilla with onions inside, which makes it good for wrapping for a cold beef roll, but not so great when served by itself. The interesting thing is that the pancake itself is not that bad, it's that they serve it really limp and not crispy at all. I ate one piece and took the rest home. At home I put it in the toaster for a minute and it came out perfect with a slightly crispy edge. I'm not sure why they don't pan fry this for longer here (same issue with the potstickers) so if you have to have this, maybe ask for them to cook it longer until it browns a bit. A lot of tables ordered the pan fried buns but I didn't get to try that this time, maybe next time!

Hard to find a place with this price. Portion is good and tastes just right! Must try the dumplings, so authentic.

Great food, even better value. Texture of noodles and dumpling skin were great. Food came out quick. Service was to the point and helpful.

Looked this place up because we love dumplings and we're craving noodles it's so good it's a small spot a hole in the wall but I loved it and the people there were super nice
