Everything was good except the westlake beef soup tasted more like egg drop soup. It was lacking beef and should have used only egg white. Cilantro was missing. Service was exceptional. read more

I can't stress how good this place is. I was somewhat skeptical when I walked in. First, I chose this place because of the reviews but when I eventually got here with my family and walked in the door, what I saw were all non-Asians at every table (except one). I mean....come on. You know what I'm talking about. However, I also simultaneously had a contradictory vision. I saw all Chinese staff. They spoke in Chinese accents and I could see the Chinese ladies hand make dumplings. Hrmmm.. Good reviews and all Chinese staff. Ok. I have hope. Ordered soup dumplings, wagyu meat dumplings, pork buns, Chinese broccoli, sesame balls, and beef chow mien. Every single order was fresh, delicious and on point. Not a single misstep in quality, presentation and freshness. Definitely coming back. read more

Wow!! This restaurant is so good! What we loved: The ambiance is great. Giant TVs playing sports, however it feels like a nice family restaurant not a sports bar. It's also beautiful inside with the far wooden tables. The food is DELICIOUS. The prices are reasonable and the portions are big enough to share. The average price is about $15 a plate. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. The servers offered suggestions for the menu and even taught us how to combine the sauces to elevate the plates. We loved the food and service and will definitely be back. read more

Ordered N2 with chilli. Very good broth but chilli hot. For me Asian hot is just hot. I'm used to Mexican hot, it has different levels. Beef had good flavor and mostly soft. Noodles where a little lacking in amount but was tasty read more

1st dumpling N noodle - Had the chili beef noodle N2, the flavor hit rite on. I ordered wit chili but I just ate slower. - Noodles Near Me - Anaheim, California

I came here on the 5th day of opening. They didn't have a lot of people in when I visited. The service was amazing they checked in quiet frequently. They answered all my questions and gave us information on the food and some of its history. Was the food the best? For me it was comparable to DinTai Fung. The portions were great. Easy to share. The smoothies didn't have added coloring dyes. If it's a mango smoothie it's made with real mangos. I say check it out. I added a few photos of what we got. I hope this helps both you and the shop. I stand by them and will be visiting often. Recommendation: Ask for some ginger to add and make your sauce! read more

Although I miss the Ruby's Diner that used to be here, I understand the need to change it up (Ruby's Diner had unfortunately closed in Old Town Orange and at it's newer location in downtown Brea). I appreciate dumplings and a larger menu of typical Chinese dishes and this place did not disappoint. Plenty of seating and staff and even a display window for kids to observe dumplings being made by hand. We sat in a booth facing two large TV screens so I assume watching sports events can be convenient. Although I didn't snap any photos this time because I came hungry and only had enough patience to eat, this might be my new favorite Chinese dim sum spot. It's still a soft opening so no long wait times or lines just yet. Plenty of parking in their dedicated lot. read more

I come all the way from the valley for this place. The bbq pork steamed buns are soooo good!!!! The house fried rice is enough to have left overs for days. The service is so friendly and quick. I accidentally spilled a drink and they cleaned it up so fast. This place is so family friendly too! read more

5/5 for food 2/5 for service This was our second time at 1st Dumpling House, and overall we really enjoy coming here. The owner is incredibly sweet, attentive, and respectful toward us. The restaurant is also right down the street from one of our regular appointments, so we were actually planning to make coming here a monthly routine. Unfortunately, our interaction with one particular employee unsure if she is related really affected our experience this time. She was not our original server, but when we needed assistance, several of us waved to get her attention and she repeatedly ignored us. When she finally acknowledged us, she still didn't come over right away. Instead, she continued her conversation with a coworker, stood there talking, and eventually walked over while still continuing their conversation. It felt very dismissive and rude. When my father explained that his order was incorrect, instead of first listening to what he was saying and checking with the staff who took or prepared the order, she immediately argued back with him. If you work in the service industry, I think the appropriate response is to listen first, understand the concern, and then verify what happened--not immediately become defensive with the customer. At that point, I asked her to please get the manager we had already been working with--the woman who usually takes our order and has always been very respectful and attentive toward us. Her response was, "That's not the manager, that's the owner." What difference did that make? I was simply asking to speak with the person who had been assisting us and knew our order so that we may continue our meal in a timely manner. The order was eventually corrected, and the other employee who I believe is new brought it to our table and apologized for the mistake. She understands common courtesy. We really appreciated that. However, the employee we initially asked for help never took any accountability or apologized for the way she handled the situation. The most awkward part came at checkout. While my husband was filling out the receipt and writing in the tip, this same employee suddenly came over and stood there close enough to see what he was leaving. After barely wanting to acknowledge us when we needed assistance, suddenly appearing while the tip was being written felt extremely uncomfortable and inappropriate. Food is amazing I cannot complain about that. I would suggest trying the udon with black pepper it is amazing 10/10. Green beans are always great and my father really likes the shrimp & pork wonton soup. read more

After a long day we yelped a close by restaurant and decided to give it a try. We actually were VERY pleasantly surprised. We ordered XLB, rice cakes, JLB, beef roll, veggie steamed dumplings, char siu bun, chicken wings, chocolate bao, egg custard, and green beans. We are Din Tai fans and loved this place too. My daughter who doesn't like meat loved the freshness of the beef roll. Couldn't believe she liked it at all. The sheng jain bao is something new to us. Luckily there was a Chinese woman sitting next to us who told us to return them and order again bc they were burned on the bottom. So glad she warned us bc I would have hated them but when cooked right I absolutely LOVED them. The staff was so nice and had no issue remaking the Jain bao. I would say the restaurant is slightly different than DTF, but not in a bad way AND 1/2 the price with MORE options. I do like the choc dumplings at dtf better with dark chocolate and sea salt cream. This was milk chocolate and tasted like a Lindt milk chocolate truffle. I would GLADLY order everything again except the chicken wings. They were fine and crispy but not really our taste. I will definitely be coming back again and recommend this place. yummy. read more

Excellent food, all very fresh and authentic. The staff are friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean. We will definitely be back.

This review has nothing to do with the food. We really enjoyed every plate we got. My problem is with one of the waitresses. I was there with my boyfriend and our son that is only a little over a year old. She came up to our table and looked at my son who again is only 1 and called him her boyfriend. A grown woman calling a 1 year old her boyfriend, like what the hell?! I was uncomfortable and just hoped she would not do that again. Our son's high chair was a couple feet in front of the register and as one year old kids are they are constantly looking around, talking, laughing, pointing at everything. At some point he looks back and she's right there and she keeps calling him in a very weird way and giving him like a flirty look and when my son looked away she made a comment about how later in life he's not going to be able to avoid the ladies. That is not ok! Not sure why a grown woman would do or say things like that. Thankfully we were at the end of our meal and just paid and left. I tried to brush it off but it kept bugging me so I'm posting a review because whoever manages this restaurant needs to know that this is not ok! We enjoyed our food but we will not be coming back due to this inappropriate behavior. read more

Was glad to see something move into this space after Ruby's closed. We live right around the corner, so we walked over for dinner this evening. Tried a variety of noodles and dumplings, and everything was delicious. Food was delivered very quickly, and staff were all very attentive. We will definitely be back! read more

The food was hot and so delicious! They easily accommodated our party of 4 adults and 4 kids in a spacious booth. The servers were very attentive and brought the food out so quickly. The dumplings were fresh and delicious. Get the green beans full of flavor read more

The food was great and at good price point. The space is pretty open and you get to see them making the dumplings.

Amazing! Made to order and so fresh, great service and prices, worth the ten minute drive north from the Disney prices and crowds. I will be back! read more

The food is outstanding! Very authentic and generous portions. An excellent value!! Service was attentive dare I say a bit pushy! No menu changes allowed- which is fine- but there are nicer ways to deliver that message! I'll be back!! read more

I was so excited for this restaurant to open, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. My favorites are the house special chow mein, the salt and pepper pork chops, and the pork and shrimp dumplings, they're all so good. I've ordered takeout and dined in, and both experiences have been great. The service is fast, the staff is incredibly friendly, and the food has been consistently delicious. This has definitely earned a spot as one of my family's go-to restaurants. read more

We found a new spot for great Asian food in Anaheim. My family brought me here for Father's Day. We had a large group, they sat quickly. We ordered half the menu. Everything was great! We had salt n pepper chicken, two shrimp dishes, two dumpling dishes, three fried rice dishes, house lo main, pork buns, and sweet and sour ribs. Every dish was great. The service was fast and extremely friendly. We loved the how they kept some of the Ruby's dinner feel with the Asian flair. Prices were fair and portions were big. We will be back! read more

Don't waste your time and money to eat here . The food is not good . Then the service is bad too. The Chinese guy waiter is rude and in a hurry to get the heck u out . He will give u the check not even asking for it. Anyway the food they serve is small portion too. So im disappointed coz im Chinese i was looking for really good Chinese cuisine. This one is thumbs down bad . read more

First when you walk in, it smells like dirty toilet. Then we asked if we can have fork and knife for my Caucasian friend and my daughter who doesn't do chopstick yet. They ignored us and didn't bring anything until we asked third person who works there. Then they say they don't have any knife at all so brought only forks. So we decided to get up and leave, at this point we didn't order yet and didn't even get water and when we were at the door to leave, one of Chinese man who works there said to us " please don't come back here". It's incredibly unfriendly and frankly unprofessional to treat anyone like that especially when you are in US, you should always be aware of people who don't use chopsticks. Definitely worst experience in CA. So surprised that this kind of place can survive even though they are rude and unwelcoming.... read more

This place just opened at the old ruby's location. My kid is alwaaaaays asking for dumplings and we checked this place out. Needless to say I've been back a few times and my kid loves it. Staff is super friendly, food is amazing and the vibe is family friendly. Quick service and great food? Saving grace for my dumpling obsessed kiddo read more

My son and I went to eat at this place this Sunday 9/6/26. we ordered five dishes and overall comment is great except for the male service staff (the tall and skinny guy communicating like robot without affection). Female staff is pleasant. That's why I rated Service with three stars. The Dan-Dan Noodle could be better if they can use sesame and peanut butter sauces instead of chili oil sauce, or add additional dish for Mar-Gian Noodle. read more
