    I have to say, having an opportunity to eat here on a Friday night was just the kind of break I needed with how busy things were. On magnolia. We wound up ordering salt and pepper popcorn chicken and some pork and cabbage dumplings and it was super tasty. The guy helping us was also super nice and made sure we got enough to fill our bellies. For all the food we ordered and it still only being 40ish bucks I felt that I got my money's worth here too. Overall, with how great the food was here, Burbank has another gem I would love to visit more often. Cheers!

    I was so excited to try chubby dumplings. I walked in and zeroed in on the combo option and was disappointed that they were not available yet. Undeterred, I ordered the Chicken & Mushrooms spicy Szechuan and the Wagyu Steak ramen. Everything tasted great. The chicken and mushrooms had a great spice. The noodles had a great chew and the broth was incredibly flavorful. However soon after I finished I was feeling off, my stomach began to hurt but I went on with my evening. Before long I felt horrible everything hurt and when I got home I won't go into graphic detail but I was sick from both sides. Today I have only managed to keep down saltines and gingerale.

    I got the wagyu dumplings and wow they were so good. Very filling too, I almost couldn't even finish them all! At first I was a bit disappointed because they didn't have any more of the soup dumplings that I came for but still had a very good experience. They also had some fun drink options inside too. Loved the outdoor seating too, very cool outdoor mall vibes!

    Not a bad spot since it is right next to the movie theater. Lots of parking near here unless there is an event going on. Would come back to try the combo meal they are trying to introduce. Employee were friendly. The surprising dish would be the fried rice since wasnt expecting that kind of flavor from such a small spot and was fast too. The pan fried dumplings were good. Did not like the sesame wonton too much since the sauce was too thick so it was hard to mix around. Would definitely come back for the fried rice though.

    Salt & Pepper Popcorn Chicken

    I really wanted to like Chubby Dumplings, especially since it's so nicely located to the AMC theater I go to a lot. And while the interior is nice and attractive, the food was a disappointing let down. We ordered the Popcorn Chicken and the Black Pepper Wagyu Dumplings and they were both tough and chewy, as if they came out of the freezer and microwaved. Both were slightly cool instead of hot, so if they've een sitting around for a while too. At least the Popcorn Chicken did taste like regular popcorn chicken even though it was lacking the nice tenderness and texture I would expect from it, but the black pepper Wagyu dumpling simply does not taste anything like Wagyu or much of anything for that matter. The dumpling wrapping didn't seem like it was steamed on a pan, and lack that softness that can just melt in your mouth. The best part of our meal was us mixing the soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil together so we can have some decent flavor to add to the lackluster dumplings. There is potential to the menu, they just need to serve better food.

    Solid choice for quick and tasty dumplings! This is a great option for a quick bite with plenty of options. We ate in and were pleased by the service and overall cleanliness of the restaurant. Note: they have lots of meat and non-meat options! We tried the Dan Dan noodles, spicy pork and shrimp Szechuan dumplings, black pepper wagyu beef dumpling, har gow,, and bbq pork bao. The pork and shrimp Szechuan dumplings were the star for sure! Great flavor. Only feedback is I wish they had more of the numbing qualities of Szechuan peppercorn. I could have done a bit spicier. The Dan Dan noodles were very flavorful and I've never had them with beef. I would have preferred with pork, but the beef was still tasty. I wish the har gow and black pepper wagyu dumpling had a bit more flavor, but once dipped in sauce it's great! Pro tip: if you get the Szechuan dumplings - dip the black pepper wagyu dumplings in the sauce!!

    "dan dan" noodles

    I ordered the dan dan noodles and the meat was seasoned like carne asada, the noodles were gummy and the sauce was bland. Not anything remotely similar to authentic dan dan noodles. Admittedly the manager said they are working on changing the menu, and many of the food options were out of stock... should've known. I was in kind of a rush and I wasn't able to get a refund but it was literally inedible. Will see if it makes me sick!

    Ooh I was super excited to try out this spot during it's soft opening after having been to their Anaheim location. You order at the kiosks but you can also view the menu above. It's a quick eatery type of place perfect for a snack or lunch. We were handed our orders directly by the male staff and we enjoyed snacking outside in the patio. The Har Gow (shrimp) dumplings were good but I didn't like the crunch of the ginger inside. 4/5, the BBQ pork siao pao was fluffy and delicious I enjoyed the warm comforting taste of the dumpling! 5/5 Overall it was a great spot to stop by at for a bit and enjoy a nice break munching on dumplings!!

    Steamed Custard Bao(1pc), Salt & Pepper Popcorn Chicken, and Wagyu Steak Fried Noodle
    Giselle M.

    Came to try Chubby Dumpling during their soft opening. The atmosphere and ambiance of the place is nice and welcoming. There are plenty of tables inside and outside. They have nice music playing in the background as well. It's super easy to order through their tablet (so I think this establishment is card-only). They, unfortunately, didn't have the combos available yet so I settled on getting everything separately. I ordered the steamed black pepper Wagyu dumplings, Wagyu noodles, Dan Dan noodles, popcorn chicken and steamed custard bun. My favorite was definitely the dan Dan noodles because of the flavor and creaminess. I liked the Wagyu dumplings but they weren't super hot but the flavor was good. Overall, I recommend this place. The service is good. The worker made sure to check on us, which was super nice! Located right across from the movie theater

    Fresh and flavorful boas dumplings and fried rice. Yummy yum yum. I will come back and bring friends

    This place is good for what it is, I am glad to have seen an older Chinese lady making the dumplings by hand especially because this location is next to a Chinese place where robots make your fried rice. You can actually taste experience and care in these dumplings. The menu has a good enough variety of dumplings, I kinda wish they didn't feel like upcharging beef dumplings because of wagyu, I don't need wagyu at a grab and go dumpling location lol This place is still new so they didn't even have the combos available to order from the kiosk. There is plenty of seating and I like that you can fill your own soda. The sodas are a combination of the fancy ones and the regular kind. They also have bottled teas and stuff you can take from their fridge. I got the wonton in chili oil and they were good enough for me to feel full but not too full. They weren't spicy at all, just more on the sweeter side. My friend got the potstickers and the filling tasted really good. Parking is free and easy at the garage off of Orange. If you need a really fast bite before a movie at the AMC this is a good option.

    Redeemed steamed custard bun via rewards and the item was meh. I can prob get better ones from frozen buns at the market. The Wagyu Stir Fried noodles had savory sweet noodles that were enjoyable the first few bites but got heavy as it went on. The Wagyu inside was tough to chew through. Might go with the Wagyu dandan noodles instead next time.

    Tofu Veggie Fried Rice
    Shivali S.

    The young woman working last night was the sweetest, I was hesitant to eat here because I didn't see any obviously marked vegan options, but she figured out that's what I was looking for and checked multiple times with the chef to help me figure out that the tofu veggie fried rice would be the best option for me. The service was amazing, and the food actually blew my expectations away, it was absolutely delicious! There was plenty of seating in and outside and a bathroom without a code needed, so it was a great spot to hang out, enjoy the food and people watch!

    Is there anyone I can talk to in customer service, I've been calling the numbers provided, and the restaurant is closed though it says it's open online? I have an issue with an order that was charged and not fulfilled.

    Are the dumplings made fresh or are they frozen?

Spacious/clean, easy parking, individual pots, fresh meat/ingredients, and a wonderful staff all make this worth coming back to again and again. Slightly different costs/portion sizes between lunch and dinner- what is 'large' for lunch is 'regular' for dinner (5.5oz) and works out to about 11 large slices. You get your choice of two dipping sauces (it's nice to see two other offerings besides standard ponzu and goma) and you can make the broth to your tasting with two squeeze bottles at each station (staff was also kind to help me the first time). Purple rice here is a nice, different touch. And both beef choices are great ($5 difference between prime chuck roll and the more premium prime rib eye) So tasty. I can see myself becoming a regular here for sure.

    This place is pretty good…read more They give you unlimited purple rice with your meal. We got the Joon special and it came with 9 ounces of meat. Which was actually perfect and I'm a pretty small girl, I can't imagine having any less than that. It comes with a plate of vegetables and your choice of udon or ramen. You get to choose two sauces and the sauces are refillable. So if you're going with someone else and you want more dips. Then you can both get four different ones to share. They offer a sampler when you first sit down of all the sauces so you can try them. You make your own soup and they give you different bases to make your soup to your liking. The seating area is pretty cool as it feels like a giant bar and everyone gets their individual pot. Service was good, everyone was very friendly and attentive.

I hope to see this restaurant open some other time, even if it's in a different place. From what I remember the soup was great, and the other foods we placed in them were almost nice.

Other places have passed them by in some respects First there is no sauce bar here. Just four small containers of sauces you can use. Ironically none of those sauces are soy sauce. A darker possible peanut sauce, a sesame sauce, a pinkish possibly fermented tofu sauce and the standard chili oil. I wanted more as far as the sauce goes and I thought a sauce bar was pretty standard these days Second there is no AYCE bar with small snacks. Kind of interesting When ordering the meat, I guess they wanted to save a plate so the sliced meats just came in plastic containers. That loses some points with me on presentation Other than that everything is fine. They charge a little less for the broth than a lot of places do, so that's nice Got vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, noodles and a couple of meats. Overall it's a fine experience, mostly Ok to Good. But the lack of some things makes it more second tier for me and it would not be a go to hot pot place for me

    I love Ace Gogi. Love love love Ace Gogi…read more My little brother and I go here weekly for lunch. Our go-to location is the Van Nuys one. It's not as nice as the Fallbrook location, but we like how lively and active it is. There's always energy in there. The Fallbrook spot is really nice though--better ambience, more spacious, and just a cleaner feel overall. We just haven't caught it when it's busy yet. That one feels more chill and laid back, which is nice when you want a slower vibe. So honestly, best of both worlds depending on the mood. Our go-to order is the spicy bulgogi with white rice and the pepper beef. We've tried a lot of the menu too--spicy baby octopus, cow tongue, a bunch of different items--but we always end up going back to what we know. It's one of those spots where we just sit there, eat, talk, and keep going until we're full. Shoutout Ace Gogi for the vibes and the food. I'm sure you can get higher quality cuts elsewhere, but that would probably come with a higher price. For what it is, we're always satisfied.

"Who's that??" you might ask, Well she's only the reason why I've gone to Han Korean barbecue for Valentine's Day for the last two years and for any time I want to celebrate pretty much anything! Weddings baptisms, funerals YOU NAME IT! She's right there to party it up and stuff your face with a fine selection of premium quality cuts of delicious meat AND SUSHI! Destinie has had me covered, treated me like family has always been considerate of my food substitution requests, she has never let my beverages go empty. She noticed when my grill needed changing or when the last plate of food was finished to asked if we wanted anymore and all with a kind, and familiar smile of a friend. She's wonderful and I couldn't be more grateful to her for giving me the dining experience that I feel we as yelpers should all get to experience at least once in this life. Also, KBBQ AND SUSHI!?!?!?! I'M SOLD, GIRL. ITS OVER!! Chill, modern atmosphere fitting of a Friday evening date with a cutie while stuffing your face and impressing them with your fabulous cooking skills, the drinks are refillable, and did I mention BOTH SUSHI AND KBBQ AT THE SAME TIME!?!?! *queue me standing on my toes to reach for the heavens as the ethereal voices of the angelic choir sing as i trip and fall over*
