What a fantastic find in Rancho Cucamonga! We're rarely in this area, but we happened to be running errands in Ontario and decided to stop by for a late lunch. The three of us arrived hungry and ready to order, so we ended up sharing quite a few dishes. We got the spicy dry mixed noodles, tomato egg noodles, xiao long bao (XLBs), steamed pork & cabbage dumplings, beef rolls, spicy chicken wontons, and salted egg yolk steamed buns. By the end of the meal, the only thing left on the table was two pieces of the beef roll and that was only because we were completely stuffed! The standout dishes for me were the tomato egg noodles and the XLBs. The noodles were comforting and flavorful, and the steamed dumplings were juicy and flavorful. I can't handle much spice, but both my husband and our friend absolutely loved the dry mixed noodles and the spicy chicken wontons. To finish our meal, we shared the salted egg yolk steamed buns, which were incredibly soft and made the perfect dessert. We were really impressed and only wish they would open a location in the South Bay someday. We'd be there all the time!

Went here yesterday with my fiancé for the first time and it was great. We went around 1 pm and the establishment was clean. They have spacious seating and look through windows to see the cooks in the kitchen. The woman who served us was nice and attentive. There was a bit of a language barrier but she made sure to get our order right. The menu is large. Lots of options!! We ordered Pork Xiao Long Bao, House Mix Dry Noodles, Orange Chicken, Beef and Green Pepper Pan Fried Dumplings , Pork and Chili Oil Wontons, Smashed Cucumber with a side of rice. We enjoyed it all. The smashed cucumber was very flavorful. I like the twist of it being smashed. It provided a mix of texture and there was plenty to go around. The house mix dried noodles was spicy. We did order it without the peanut sauce due to an allergy but the noodles were cooked perfectly. Reminded me of a broth less ramen bowl. Lots of spices!! The pork Xia long bao was good too. I enjoyed the broth inside. Had a little tang to it. Very tasty with the vinegar and soy sauce mix we made. I was pleasantly surprised on how juicy the Beef and. Green pepper pan fried dumplings were. I would definitely get them again. The orange chicken was a hit in my opinion. It was cooked well and did not have too much breading. It had a nice crunch and the sauce was more of a glaze. It had a strong orange flavor taste to the sauce and was served with a few small slices of actual orange. My favorite dish was the Pork and Chili Oil Wontons. Man, I loved it. The chili oil was not spicy but more flavorful. The chili flakes is what gave it the kick. It was topped with green onion ( not too much). Every wonton ate made me want the next. Lots of flavor. We finished the meal with a shared desert. We had the chocolate dumplings. They were ok. I believe them to be melted Lindt chocolate wrapped in a dumpling. Never had it before. It was cool.

Good pork dumplings. Very good beef rolls. Crispy pancake wrap with beef. Will go back. They have vinegar. Pretty authentic.

great dinner spot! recommend this spot for lunch or dinner for small groups. highly recommend doing family style and ordering a bunch of options for everyone to share. every single dish we got was delicious and the fried ones were perfectly crispy without feeling heavy. the hoison and cilantro perfectly paired with the beef roll. i loved how perfectly cooked the green beans were. the walnut shrimp was delicious and i loved the presentation of it along with the chips below it. the black truffle xiao long bao had a delicious broth and flavor. i also love that this place had chocolate xiao long bao so i don't have to go to din tai fung for that. perfect milk chocolate, need to see if they have a sea cream for it next time to balance the flavor even more. the service here was great! servers super kind and quick to do refills for water or condiments without us needing to ask

Def a Din Tai Fung dupe, but no wait time & cheaper! I got the truffle & pork xlb & it was sooo juicy! And I also got the chili oil pork wontons, similar to DTF & still flavorful & spicy! There was no wait time when I went but that's because I went during lunch on a weekday so I'd assume they would get packed on weekends. I want to go back & try other dishes as well since there was only one of me & I could only order & eat so much...lol. I will try the chocolate & piggy custard buns next time too!

I don't want to discredit this place, but it was just an ordinary dumpling spot in the IE. It didn't blow my socks off. That said, if you're craving dumplings and want good ones, this place will definitely suffice. We tried the XLB and the black truffle XLB, which were a little underwhelming. The spicy wontons were very good though and probably our favorite thing we ordered. We also had the spinach pork and shrimp dumplings which were a little mid, but the pan-fried pork and shrimp dumplings were much better. The salted egg custard buns were actually a standout and I'd definitely order those again. The honey walnut shrimp was flavorful and the shrimp were large, but it sits on top of shrimp chips so it looks like a bigger portion than it actually is. Still tasty and worth getting, just something to know. We also had the fresh noodles and the cucumbers. The noodles were good and the cucumbers were refreshing, just slightly underseasoned. Overall, when the boo and I are craving dumplings, this place will still be in the rotation.

Honestly mid. China pepper was better and had better pricing. Wontons didn't seemed cooked all the way inside. The pork xion long baos had no flavor and were dry. The udon noodles were not the best. The fried rice was probably the best thing. Don't be fooled by the picture lol. I don't know I feel because I went a few minutes right before their lunch they rushed cooking the meal, but I don't think I would eat here again. It was cute inside though. Just a little hot.

Dumpling kind of night and it did not disappoint. I went in just wanting something quick and left low-key obsessed. The dumplings were super fresh, you could tell they weren't sitting around. The wrappers were soft but still had that slight chew, and none of them were falling apart or overly thick. The filling was the best part though. Juicy, flavorful, and actually seasoned. You know how sometimes dumplings look good but taste bland? Not these. Every bite had flavor, and I didn't even feel like I needed to drown them in sauce. Even the pan-fried ones had that perfect crispy bottom without being greasy. I definitely ordered more than I needed... and still finished them. Why am I craving this spot now as I write?! *cry* It's officially my "when in doubt, get dumplings" spot now. Service was friendly and efficient. Bathrooms were super clean. Ambiance was quiet.

Friendly, efficient service. Clean, comfortable space. A good selection of dumplings and noodles. Overall good value. I recommend: -Beef Rolls -Smashed Cucumbers -House Special Dry Mix Noodles Classic Pork XLB and Golden Garlic Spareribs are good too, but can be even better to reach perfection. Walnut shrimps is a popular dish here. Nicely plated. Generous portion of 12 JUMBO sized shrimps. Served with fried crisps. However, the shrimps themselves have no shrimp taste; I am not a big fan of frozen seafood with no taste. Note: Wagyu dumplings are only available on weekends.

12/20/2025 First time at Dumpling Artisan! WONTONS IN CHILI OIL (SPICY WONTON) This was recommended by my server. I can't quite explain it, but the spicy sauce had quite an earthy flavor, this umami flavor I could not quite put down. Definitely there is Sichuan peppercorn flakes in it, but maybe it was toasted, so there was that added earthy flavor. Spice level is medium. Cilantro added on top as garnish. I prefer scallions over cilantro for spicy wontons, but still it was good. Served hot and dumplings were juicy. It is definitely different than Din Tai Fung's spicy wonton, where that had a vinegar with spicy flavor and there isn't Sichuan peppercorn flakes in that one. BEEF ROLL Pretty good, but the pancake could be crispier. They've added too much hoisin sauce inside the roll, so it was a bit salty overall. There was a good amount of beef and cilantro and it was a good size where you can pick up and eat. If only the pancakes were crispier! WAGYU BEEF ONION XIAO LONG BAO Only available on the weekends. The server convinced me to try this over the other xiao long baos, since this was only available on the weekends and it's also a popular item. At first bite, it has a strong meat flavor. A little bit of caramelized onion flavor at the end. It was pretty good. However, I still favor pork XLB. I haven't tried one at this location, but assuming most XLB's tastes similar, I prefer the pork XLB. The wonton wrap was slightly thicker than other places I've tried. But only by a little. The XLB was a good size too, not too small. CUSTOMER SERVICE Very attentive service! Two servers were checking in on me back-to-back making sure I was well taken care of! I asked questions on the menu and both were very kind and gave me the best service I've had in a long while! This was also on a Saturday right after opening time and I was the third guest there, so it wasn't too busy either. But appreciate the great service! PARKING Plenty of parking space around the area. I think the better spots aren't directly in front of the restaurant, as the parking spaces are narrow and are at an angle. But because it is a business center focused area, lots of parking spaces were available. I would definitely return to try other popular menu items!

A bit too americanized for my taste but glad to see that RC is opening up more chinese restaurants. This gives me a variety for lunch with my coworkers. The mapo tofu can be spicier. Mongolian beef is too sweet and lacks flavor, tastes more like Scallion Beef than Mongolian Beef. The XLB's skin is too thick.

Dumplings and noodle dishes appear to be their forte, as you can easily surmise by their name. But we are not dumpling sort of people. So, you might be asking, why did we come here? I think I had Dumpling Artisan bookmarked because of their meaty beef bone soup. We have always had a passion for a clear broth version found in Korean restaurants, but funny thing, we did not end up ordering that for our first visit. Please note, I said "first visit". As I said, the majority of the menu was of noodle dishes, noodle soups, and soup-filled dumplings, fare that I choose to eat with discretion for dietary reasons (heavy with carbs). The variations looked quite interesting, but I'll leave it up to other reviewers to critique them. Instead, we were seduced by the dishes that are more typical stir fry entrees and dim sum. These choices are more limited, but should not take second place to anything else on their menu. Our meal came out very quickly. Listed under "Desserts", we ordered the char siu bao (3 per order). Hardly a dessert IMHO, the steamed treat turned out to be a deliciously savory filling encased in an extraordinarily tender dough. The spice blend in the sauce for the filling was remarkable, with its own character. Not your ordinary bao! Then came the beef roll, thinly sliced beef with plum sauce and lots of fresh cilantro, all wrapped up in a beautifully crisp, super thin pancake. Superb. I ordered it, all the while knowing that Mr B thought he did not like this dish. And was he surprised after his first bite! I felt vindicated. Next came the Broccoli Shrimp. They were very generous with big, plump, perfectly cooked shrimp (10) with nice big bites of carefully cooked broccoli. The sauce was delicately seasoned, clear, thickened, and with an uncommon taste profile that won my heart. Lastly came the Kung Pao Chicken. Loads of fresh, thinly sliced chicken and lightly sauteed vegetables (carrots, cucumber), finished with lots of plump peanuts and a dark, rich, sauce. Again, a winner of a sauce. I had forgotten to mention to our server my usual fear of the red pepper pods commonly used in this dish. So when it arrived, I had reservations because there were a lot. But as many as they did use, it turned out to have no effect on me whatsoever, spicy but not angry hot . This dish was one of the best Kung Pao's I have ever tasted. I highly recommend this. I am quite impressed over their unique cooking sauces. They all stood out as exceptional, not your common variety found in so many Chinese restaurants these days. Service was excellent. The dining area was immaculate, the bathroom very clean, the overall vibe very friendly. The open kitchen design was eye catching and impressive. The lovely lady chefs performing their culinary craft behind the glass were a joy to see and their knowledge of their cuisine won our hearts. Don't ask how elated I am to bring home leftovers, of which there were many. I would guess another 1.5-2 meals for the two of us. Need I say, we shall return. I would be a serial customer if we only lived closer.

We wanted dumpling and our place was closed so it forced us to look around. I'm so glad we did because we found Dimpling Artisan and overall it did not disappoint. This place is a little small inside with limited seating. If you have a party of 6 or more definitely call ahead to make sure there's seating available. The decor is definitely Asian inspired and I love that you can watch them prepare your food through the glass. We went inside to place a to go order. They gave us a menu immediately and were available to answer our questions. We spent a little over $73 and ordered Mongolian Beef, 2 orders of Pork Wontons in Chili Oil, Salt & Pepper Crispy Chicken, Pork & Cabbage Pan Fried Dumplings, and an order of Xiao Long Bao. The Mongolian beef didn't taste like Mongolian Beef but it was full of flavor. It had a sweet but savory taste and the meat was super tender. Unfortunately it did not come with rice and I didn't know. It's ok, because I don't each much of it. The pan fried dumplings had a nice crispy exterior but soft inside. The meat veggie mixture was full of flavor. The Xiao Kong Bao had a nice subtle broth inside and it was quite refreshing. I honestly didn't care for the pork wontons in chili oil. They did not lack flavor but there was a spice on it similar to tajin that clashed a bit in flavor with the chili oil. Also, I couldn't really taste the meat and just tasted chewy dumpling dough. The salt and pepper crispy chicken was full of flavor. The only downfall was the ride home made it not so crispy but that's not a flaw in the food. A suggestion would be to cut holes in the packaging so it doesn't steam itself as much from the heat. Overall, great food and great service. I will definitely go back.
