    Ambiance: it's a family style dumping place, located in a small and packed plaza, limited parking spots Service: terrible experience, it took a long time to place the order, let alone people arrived much later got their food served first, and basically no other service, self serving for utensils and water Food: simple menu items for comfort food Meat King 6pcs Pork & Beaf Mix - ** grocery frozen food quality, the skin of buns tasted sour and the mixed ground meat fillings were so dry Yukgaejang - *** Spicy Beef Leek Soup, stinky on protein and rubbery tasty Price: mediocre quality and affordable prices, about $20 per person

    Kimchi + Veg Dumpling

    Great place for vegetarian options! My two friends and I came here on a Saturday around 2:30 pm and found parking in the small lot easily! It was pretty empty inside with only one other customer, very homey vibes! We ordered the Korean Icy Cold Noodles (4/5 - super refreshing but broth was sweeter than I realized it would be!), Kimchi Dumplings (4.5/5 - packed w nice pieces of kimchi and veg), and the King Veggie Dumplings (3.9/5 - not salty enough for me but better w dipping sauce and really fluffy bun!). This much food came to be about $60 w tip and the food was light but we all felt perfectly full! I would definitely come back to try more of the non-vegetarian dumplings too

    Had a delivery from here today and not bad. Ordered the: Pan fried regular dumpling - Very, very good. Tasty and moist. Pork Xiao Long Bao - Yes I would order again. Order the pork, outstanding! Meat King Size Dumpling - I was expecting a BBQ Pork Bun, it wasn't. Though the meat inside was tasty, this one was a little dry with all the bun and limited sauce inside. Not sure I would order this again. Side note, the delivery girl just dropped off the order at my apartment's front desk and refused to give the desk attendant any information on my apartment, ie no apartment number or name to tell him who the order belonged to. Could have been a better delivery attempt.

    I used to come here to get dumpling often, and tried most of them. Overall, they are good, the best one was king dumplings and others were okay. The customer service is so bad, specially the old guy, who seems not happy and always angry sadly.. The lady is nice all the time. The price is little bit overpriced.

    So amazing! Came here spontaneously with friends visiting from Australia and their food is the most delicious most authentic dumplings ever. The Bulgogi dumplings were amazing as well!!! A must try! Owners were so kind and patient with us. I can't recommend this place enough!

    I really wanted to like this place since it seemed like a small, local business, but the dumplings we got did not impress us. We got the regular pork dumplings, XLB, and the crab shumai. I thought the crab shumai was the best - it had a good flavor, but they were small and pricey. The XLB were solid, but needed more juice/flavor. The pork dumplings were the most disappointing. They were kind of hard and not super tasty. The inside of the restaurant was run down, and I had to kill a tiny bug that was crawling on the table when we first sat down. The inside of the dumpling pans were rusty, so that was also gross. Everything was around $40. We probs would have enjoyed dumplings from Ranch 99 as much as the dumplings we had here

    Highly recommend for delicious dumplings of various kinds & Korean staples. My wife & I grabbed lunch here early one day while staying in k town for two nights & it was excellent, very good soup dumplings & perfectly crisp pan fried gyoza dumplings. Very clean inside & the service was excellent. Wish I had more options like this where I'm from.

    13. Xiaoiongbao Dim Sum & 2. Meat King Size Dumpling

    This spot has saved me time and time again. Always reliable, always delicious and always filling beyond any reasonable expectation! I mostly get takeout but have some dine in before and let me tell you- it's the best secret a little corner/strip mall has ever had to offer. Be warned that they make everything to order so be prepared to wait a bit. My two items took 15 minutes. There are usually 2 people working at any given time and it can get a little busy so be prepared to wait. I rarely see the spot busy with dine-ins but don't let that fool you, it's beyond worth it! The king size dumplings are exactly that, not exaggerated and truly 'king size'! I can usually eat 2 or 3 if I reallllly try. Mine were with a mixture of pork, beef, glass noodles & veggies- these will fill you up. The pork xiaolongbao are perfectly plump and have a perfect portion of soup and meat inside. A little kick to them elevates their flavor to stand out from the king size dumplings. Though I generally order takeout, I love that it's packed with presentation in mind. The prices are amazing for a product you can taste was made with care and love. Each order comes with pickled veg (daikon?) and a yummy sauce that can be used dipping- or, as I do, for pouring directly into the dumpling itself. There can be a little bit of a challenge in understanding the employees sometimes so please be patient and kind just as they are with their customers.

    The most homey, wonderful dumplings. I came here a while ago with friends after finding this place on a YouTube video. My friends and I love dumplings, and this place did not disappoint. The kimchi dumplings stood out! They were spicy with a kick, and the wrapper had just the right amount of chew. 10/10 recommend!

    Meat king

    The steamed dumpling were great! I got the Meat King 6 pc and could only eat because they were so big The service was great and it is amazing nnice little restaurant.

    Sushi

    This is a small wife & husband operated business. The place is super cute, has a a lot of positive vibes just because of the decor. We got in around 9pm, they close by 9:30, but were kind enough to let us dine in until 10pm. We orders the vegetable pancake and they were yum and hot, freshly prepared. We got the kimchi dumplings which were good too, also got the veggie sushi, which to my surprise was very good, the veggies were sautéed in the sushi. Pretty good experience.

    I was disappointed at this place to be honest. With so many good reviews and a YouTube video from eaterLA recommending this place, I thought I would have a very nice dinner here but turned out the food is just average and expensive. Staff was very nice and friendly but I hurt that I have to say I did not enjoy the food! The flavors were just very bland. It's missing so many things (salt/meat flavor). The only thing that was okay to rat the potsticker but with the price, we could do better at another place. I'm sorry to say that I won't be returning. Maybe others may find this place good

Service was worse than could be expected. We were a table for 2 at 9:30AM on a Saturday. We didn't expect to be sat immediately, but we definitely did not expect for three walk-ins *after* us to be sat before we were. Parties of 3, 5, and 8 were all sat before us. I understand as a host, you must maximize space and seat according to size but seriously? They simply didn't want to waste a *whole table* on 2. After 25 minutes they sat us at a 6-person table in the back corner and she said, "You share this table," implying we would be a group table if another small party walked in. Then, no menu, no water, no napkins, no plates until we asked for each individually. Lo and behold, there were still at least 5 open tables an hour later, and we did not in fact need to have other parties join us... the food was definitely not worth this treatment.

Service was a little spotty but I am a diner who is pretty low maintenance once I get my order hahaha.

Yelp's top recommended options include Steamed BBQ Pork Buns, Baked BBQ Buns, Baked Pineapple Buns, Special Chicken Buns, Pork Shumai, and Shrimp Dumplings (Har Gow). The shop also sells porridge, cookies, mooncakes, Chinese tamales, etc. *** Steamed BBQ Pork Bun ($1.40): The bun was hot and tasted good. Baked BBQ Bun ($1.80): This semi-sweet bun had a larger portion than the Steamed BBQ Pork Bun and this is definitely the one to order. Custard or Egg Tart ($1.60): Very flaky and it tasted better than I expected. *** Long story short - this bakery sells some of the cheapest dim sum you will find in Los Angeles. Are they some of the best dim sum items you will find? Not exactly, but they are fairly decent and $10 can stretch very far at this bakery.

For being located in the heart of Chinatown, would you expect anything less? The thing that I like most about this place is that I can get almost anything that I would order at any of the nearby fancier sit-down Chinese restaurants, but this place is built especially for quick / take- out = no tip needed. FOOD: Fried Shrimp Balls - 9.0 / 10 Up there with any Chinese restaurant's dim sum. Understandably smaller over the years. Pro-tip: heat these bad boys in the oven, toaster oven, or air fryer. Serve alongside sweet & sour sauce. Pork Shumai - 9.0 / 10 Again, up there with any of your typical sit-down dim sum place. Pro-tip: make an easy + quick sipping sauce with 1/3 soy sauce + 2/3 spiced white vinegar. You're welcome Shrimp Har gow - 8.9 / 10 One of the most traditional Cantonese dumplings. Incredibly light. If you plan to eat these later, I highly suggest steaming them as the outer skin can get dry. There's so, so much food here, but whenever I am in the area, these are my non negotiables. Seriously, it is such a life-hack to be able to do a "Panda Express" style order for more traditional Chinese / Chinese-American favorites without all the hoopla. Don't be surprised if there's a line, depending on what time of the day you go.

Like, one time I was watching Project Runway, a season finale episode, where the designers make their own creations, and do not have to make their ensembles from shredded newspaper or bird seeds or pinata remnants. And after a so-and-so of the fashion industry said, "I wanted to go and rip that jacket off the model." This other time, I saw a poster for a coming musical and it said, "stop everything you are doing, and go this musical now" says this important person in the theathre world. What am I am trying to say is that the comment I wanted to do this immediately or drop everything and do this immediately is so overwrought and widely used that it lost all meaning. Kind of like calling this place an institution. So I will call this place what I should to not be drown in my own trite. One time I went to this place and I went cause I was invited to a birthday party. And it was a large group of people. Me and a friend debated if Penny, from the Big Bang, had eaten at this place. She was also in Charmed--- it is a household name, I can't remember it. So this place is famous enough to be a go to move, and it has many pictures of celebrities that have gone there. The food is also super good, so this place, like I said is an insititution. When I went there a second time, I was more aware of the place I was visiting and kind of was ready to receive its Chinese fare with an unhinged jaw. I was dining with a friend, the same friend that I had the is that Penny from Big Bang debate? It was not. She eventually one. But like she and I ate here again, without knowing we were going to the same place. I would say its a small world but.... She and I ate with gusto. It does not take a lot to know that the speciality of the house is their slippery shrimp. They also have slippery chicken and slippery tofu. Super good, sweet, sour but it was not sweet and sour sauce shrimp, it had differences. I am not sure what. There were some heat notes but not like terrible heat. So I am not exactly sure what this place does to make their slippery sauce but let us just that it was delicious and different than other Chinese food sauces. Ronnie and I had the works. Rice, Beef with Brocoli, Pan fried dumplings, and dumpings. It was the type of Chinese food that was so good a coke was needed to balance the decadent saltiness of the fare. Yeah, that might not make sense but I wrote what I wrote. We had eniugh food to share between the two of us. It was that type of meal, where leftovers were welcomed and made sense. They were not left over, they were left untouched because it would be a shame to not enjoy them later. The service was great. The place felt traditional, and like it took you to an alley in China to eat a grandmother's food who knows how to use a Wok and pinch dumplings so they stay close for good. I saw this bad review that skewered this place. And I am like wow! How can we be so different. Not like Ying and Yang Different, more like flutter and flatten. But taste is subjective, so decide for yourself if this place is a peacock worthy of its feathers or a tiger with its claws clipped.
