"A favorite for dumplings, visited by Cathy Chaplin and Jean Trinh." - Eater Staff
"Prince Dumpling is known locally as the “Din Tai Fung dupe.” Prices are slightly lower than the soup dumpling giant’s with usually no waits and more menu variety. The restaurant even has an open kitchen where workers wrap fresh soup dumplings just like at Din Tai Fung. Although the soup dumpling skins are not quite as thin as Din Tai Fung’s, they are otherwise comparable. In addition to the ones filled with kurobuta pork, Prince also offers chicken and lobster xiao long bao, along with wontons, pan-fried dumplings, and boiled dumplings. Other entrees include popcorn chicken, crispy radish, beef rolls, abalone noodles, and many vegetarian options," - Kristie Hang
"What if we told you there’s a place in Rosemead where you can find most everything on Din Tai Fung’s menu, except you don’t have to wait an hour for a table? Well, such a place exists, and it’s called Prince Dumpling. The soup dumplings at this causal Chinese spot aren’t quite as good as DTF (mostly because they could use more soup,) but you’ll find a satisfactory garlic cucumber salad, juicy pan-fried pork wontons with a lacy skirt, and spicy pork and shrimp wontons that sneakily light up your mouth the more you eat them. The best part about a meal here is the fact that you can fill up on solid dumplings and be out the door in 40 minutes or less. If you’re ever feeling hungry (and impatient) in the SGV, know you have Prince Dumpling to depend on." - Sylvio Martins
"Prince Dumpling is located in a low-slung pink building in Rosemead. Opened in January 2024, it offers a modern interior with scratch-made dumplings. Known for its xiao long bao filled with pork, crab, or lobster, the restaurant also serves appetizers, fried rice, noodle soups, and more. The vinegar-spiked wood ear mushrooms and salt and pepper fried squid are popular starters. Address: 8801 Valley Boulevard, Rosemead, CA 91770." - Eater Staff
"Prince Dumpling has the potential to surpass Din Tai Fung in xiao long bao prowess, says Eater LA contributor Kristie Hang. Folks are lining up for a taste of the classic soup dumplings, prepared within a glass-encased open kitchen, along with unique takes filled with lobster and Spanish ham." - Cathy Chaplin
