"New dumpling shops in the San Gabriel Valley tend to face an uphill battle—there’s just so much competition—but that’s not the case for You Kitchen. Open since 2019, this tiny strip mall shop has 13 different kinds of dumplings and a steady line of hungry customers. We recommend concentrating on the “house dumplings” with chives and fish—order them pan-fried with nicely charred edges—as well as the sweet and savory chicken, shrimp, and corn dumplings. Definitely snag a “Big Mouth” pocket too, a delicious pork-filled open-faced pastry that has nothing to do with the hormone monster." - brant cox, sylvio martins

"Yu Kitchen remains probably my favorite Chinese restaurant in the city, located miles uphill from my apartment at 101st and Broadway, and it’s on my list of places to visit as I attempt longer rides." - Robert Sietsema
"A tiny dumpling restaurant that opened in early 2019, You Kitchen in Alhambra drew attention for its touch-screen ordering kiosk and an unusual location right next to a bowling alley." - Mona Holmes
