Everything we ordered hit! The pork xiaolongbao were juicy and packed with flavor, the pork wontons in chili oil had the perfect kick, and the cold cucumber with chili oil is a must-try. We also loved the crispy chili chicken with rice, beef roll, hand-pulled lamb pancake, and golden belly beef noodle soup, so comforting and satisfying. Portions are generous, the staff is friendly, and the vibe is casual but welcoming. If you're a dumpling or noodle lover, this place needs to be on your list!

The food was amazing! The garlic was perfect! We tried so many dishes. The quality of the food is very good! Everything was fresh and was made when we ordered. I really cant tell you what was my favorite because they were all so good! I was really happy with how juicy the dumplings were! And the spicy level was just right! Not dramatic just a perfect hint of spicy! The cucumbers were fresh and a nice palette cleanser to really get the flavor of the next dish! The service was great, you go up to the counter to order and they bring you the food to your table. Highly recommend it!

Raw, uncooked shrimp dumplings

I WAS SERVED RAW, UNCOOKED SHRIMP AND NOW HAVE FOOD POISONING. Placed a takeout order here. Once I got home I ate a dumpling that was super cold. On my second dumpling, I realized that the shrimp inside was RAW. Completely grey and raw. None of the dumplings I was given were cooked at all. The wrapper was uncooked, shrimp uncooked. The manager Jatzi was apologetic on the phone but there's no changing the fact that I was given uncooked food. I now have food poisoning from eating the raw shrimp that was given to me. Beware of this place, if you dine here, make sure you check if your food is even cooked.

Excellent

This place has great soup dumplings. The food here is definitely solid and I will be coming back. In addition, all the orders were very nice sized so I ordered too much food for my friend and I. The girl that works here was extremely nice and helpful. She definitely showed concern about how our meal was and taking good care of us. I would definitely give it a try if you're in the area.

Flat noodle my favorite dish

Very good, even better than before. Fresh and hot. Friendly staff checked on us. We enjoyed several different dishes including soup dumplings and chicken soup wonton. Green beans were cooked well. Love living a block away.

Just opened- although the restaurant before this one used to be a different dumpling spot with a similar menu. This one has better options for people who don't eat certain foods - which I was very happy with. They never had chicken for their chili dumplings (only pork), so it was the first thing I ordered, and it was very tasty. A great option for lunch on a workday! I do recommend you call in and order ahead of time for pickup (especially if you're on a time crunch). I waited 15-20 minutes for the 2 items I ordered. 8 out of 10 for me.

Beef roll! So big and crispy!
Elaina T.

WOW. this place is absolutely delicious! The service was excellent. we asked for recommendations and were so glad we did. We wanted to try as much as possible, so we ordered the cucumber salad, beef rolls, braised beef noodle soup, pork dan dan noodles, and the spicy pork wontons. Everything was amazing. We also tried the green milk tea, which was so good. As a huge tea lover, I really appreciated how fragrant it was, super yummy! Overall, every dish was a hit, but our favorites were definitely the spicy wontons and the beef rolls. We'll absolutely be coming back!

Lamb bing
Michelle W.

Really excited to have this addition to Brentwood/WestLA. They have a great menu that mixes some familiar Chinese-American options and some more traditional dishes, like their dumpling options, noodles and their rolls. The first time I came, I ordered the lamb sandwich on the flaky pancake. The lamb was flavorful and I loved the ample amounts of cilantro they include with it. The size of it was very generous! It's definitely a full meal. However, it was very oily. The first half was pretty good. The pancake or bing is very flaky. However, by the time I got to the second half, the bottom of the bing/sandwich was completely soaked in the oil. The second time, I got the lao gan ma noodles. It was very flavorful. I do wish it was a bit spicier, especially since it also includes "lao gan ma" in the name, so I expected some of that chili sauce in it. The noodles remind me of "shanghai fried noodles" with the brown sauce and a decent amount of veggies. I'm excited to come back again to try other items on the menu. Lamb noodles and spicy wontons look really intriguing.

Lao Gan Ma fried noodles w/ chicken
Debbie L.

Great Chinese food addition to west LA! The food here is great!! The cucumber salad was garlicky and we added some vinegar into ours. The pork XLB filling was yummy, even if the skin wasn't the thinnest. It's still very tasty though and it's the best XLB we've had in the west side. The hand pulled pancake w/ lamb was HUGE and so delicious! The pancake was hot and flaky, and the lamb was very well seasoned without being salty. But I think what takes the cake here are the noodles. The noodles are super long and the texture is so slippery and bouncy. I kept peering into the kitchen to see if they were pulling noodles from a machine. Both of our noodle dishes were soooo good that I went back to the counter and asked. Apparently they pull the noodles at their other location in Pasadena and get them shipped over. The noodles are a must get here!! The braised beef noodle was so simple but soothing for the soul. We don't drink anymore but the first thing I thought was, "This would be amazing hangover soup." The huge daikon pieces were great and the meat was super tender. The Lao Gan Ma fried noodle with chicken had a thicker noodle that was also sooo good (and was great as leftovers the next day!) The huge thing my man and I noticed was how we didn't feel like crap even after eating SO much. We kept waiting for the food coma to hit us but it never did. They must be using less MSG or something. Nothing was too salty but everything was well seasoned which we HIGHLY appreciated. As for service, this is a order at the counter and a lot of the service is DIY which is probably why the prices are so low. It looked new and clean inside and there are plenty of tables. This is the kind of spot where you serve and clean up after yourself, which I'm sure appeals to college students since the pressure to tip isn't there. Personally we didn't mind it at all. We ordered 5 dishes and two sodas for under $60 which is a steal in this area! Sorry for the shit photos we were so hungry and I didn't even take pictures of it all. This is going to be a staple in our dinner rotations. Hoping they stick around for the long run!!

Beef Roll
T K.

BF wanted beef roll, and Dumpling Wei came up on the search. Stopped by on Saturday before Noon and was not a very busy place yet. There's a sign at the entrance to tell you this is a counter service place, so order before you sit down. We were checking out the menu and staff came over to greet us. Staff were friendly and checked on us and asked to let them know if we have feed back. Drink menu is only on the counter in front of the register. We had the beef roll, pork Xiao Long Bao and Beef Noodle soup. We liked the taste of all three. BF turned out enjoying the Xiao Long Bao the most. Beef roll took awhile to come out, so I was surprised it was served cold instead of hot, but it was tasty. (I don't think I had cold beef roll before). One suggestion, the pictures of the items should really match the number of serving. Only because most people are more visual (I am guilty of it.) I was expecting 8 Xiao Long Bao instead of 5 like the menu stated. :)

Spicy Fish Fillet

As close to having something from the San Gabriel Valley without having to cross the 405 from the Westside. The spicy fish fillet soup is very flavorful with many ingredients. A great value too for the portion. Haven't tried the dumplings from this place yet so cannot comment. It's nice to have a decent Chinese food option west of the 405.

Lamb hand pulled pancake
Dominique B.

This place is so good! Had a craving for dumplings and this did not disappoint at all. The restaurant is very clean and staff is very attentive. It is self serve for your utensils, water, plates, etc. the food came out quickly as prepared. Each dish was so good!! I couldn't even get a picture of the Beef Roll it was gone before I remembered to take one.

You can also order from the take out menu. BBQ Cha shiu bao ($1.20)- super good. Large. A little different, they don't use brown sugar to marinade the meat but nice and soft. Pineapple custard bun $1.80- super super good. Large. Pieces of pineapple in the sweet custard. This bun is a winner. Dan ta ($1.80)- deceivingly good. It looks like it'll be dry and not good. But the custard is soft, the crust has not texture. Whole duck ($34)- the roast BBQ is super good. Crispy skin. You see the duck fat is melted with flavor. A little bit on the salty side. But I don't think I've had a duck like this in the 626. I would only come for the baked goods and roast duck. Beef chow fun $13- I would skip this dish. It's not very good. Soggy noodles. No wok hei.

I don't know why this place is popular, maybe it's their dining options, which wasn't available when I came in the morning. Entrees are available after 10:30am. But the dim sum...how can one make such bad, soulless delicacies that are suppose to instead, show craftsmanship and flavor! I've had many takeout dim sum, and this is by far one of the least favorite locations pretty much ever. The price is cheap for a reason. I would say, though, their buns are slightly better, but nothing to run home about.

Front window lady came off like you are bothering her, but she's efficient. I'm not sure if I want to return here. It was really just disappointing. I will have to find another dim sum spot next time I'm in the area. This place was just not it.

Really authentic dim sum takeout spot with a good selection of classic items. We picked up egg tarts, egg rolls, shui mai, har gow, pineapple buns, and BBQ buns. Overall everything tasted really good, especially the dim sum items and buns. The egg tart was flaky and fresh, and the prices were surprisingly good for the amount of food we got. The only miss for me was the egg roll--it came out pretty soggy. The menu is a little more limited since it's mainly focused on takeout, but there was still plenty to choose from. Store was clean and service was fast, which made the stop easy and convenient. Only thing to keep in mind is there's no dedicated parking. We ended up using either street meters or a nearby lot for about $4. Overall, really solid spot for quick and authentic dim sum takeout at a very reasonable price.

So I always try not to hold that against a place because food is obviously best when you eat it there fresh. That said, the pan fried noodles were easily my favorite thing we ordered. Those held up the best and still had good texture by the time we got home. The chicken was good flavor-wise, but there was definitely more bone than chicken, especially on the legs. One cool thing though: when my partner went in to grab the order, they watched them carving the chicken fresh before packing it up. You definitely don't get that kind of thing ordering through Uber Eats. The soy sauce chicken (not pictured) was also solid, and honestly this is a great spot if you want food that'll stretch into leftovers for days. We probably got at least four more meals out of everything. Still... it didn't fully scratch that Chinese restaurant itch for me the way SGV spots do. But for the area? Still a pretty good option.

We had two orders of slippery shrimp, kung pao chicken, eggplants with hot and spicy garlic sauce, juicy steamed dumplings, and pork fried rice. Overall, both restaurants in Chinatown and Pasadena provide great food quality. The ambience was cozy with dim lighting. Our round table had a wooden rotating tray. They have pictures of celebrities and politicians who've visited their restaurant. Service was relatively quick, but there was a 20-minute wait for the dumplings. Valet parking can get difficult when the lot gets full. A few cars entering the narrow driveway had to reverse out of the way to let others leave. The kung pao chicken was very tasty with a good amount of spice. I noticed that the slippery shrimp didn't taste as spicy as the portion from Pasadena. Reviews say that the spice is adjustable. Regardless. it tasted great as it came right off the pan. The pork fried rice was delicious with a savory flavor that didn't seem overpowering. I thought the juicy steamed dumplings were the weakest dish out of our whole order. There wasn't enough flavor and heat from the broth. I didn't try much of the eggplants, but they tasted adequate for me.

It's been sitting on my saved list for a while, and honestly, this turned out to be the perfect opportunity. The space itself is bright, clean, and welcoming with warm woody tones throughout. Casual setup where you order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. I had already looked through the menu beforehand, so the real challenge was narrowing down what to order for one person. I failed at that... and I'm very happy I did. Started with the Pig Ear Salad 滷豬耳朵. Braised thin sliced pig ears dressed with soy sauce, chili oil, sesame oil, scallion, and cilantro. OMG. So good. Tender, flavorful, perfectly braised, with that satisfying chewy texture done right. Also got the Fried Peanut Salad 五味花生 with garlic, cilantro, scallions, vinegar, and Thai chili. Super crunchy, bright, refreshing, and honestly addicting. I added a cup of the Hot & Sour Soup 酸辣湯 too. Organic tofu, beech mushroom, carrot, bamboo, woodear mushroom, and egg. Super comforting with a really balanced tang and peppery heat. Not overly thick or heavy like a lot of Americanized versions can be. Exactly the kind of soup you want during a long travel day. For noodles, I ordered the Dan Dan Noodles 擔擔麵. Sesame-peanut sauce, cucumber, cilantro, crushed peanuts. Delicious on its own already, but I ended up adding some of the fried peanuts from the salad into the noodles and it became even better. Then the Three Cup Chicken 三杯雞 with sesame oil, soy sauce, rice wine, and Thai basil. I do wish it had a little more wok hei, but overall the flavor was still really comforting and savory. Extremely good with rice. Had a glass of Gewürztraminer alongside everything, which paired surprisingly well with the spice and aromatics. Their wine list leans more organic / natural wine focused, which felt very LA in a good way. Ended up sitting at a high top next to one of the managers and had a great conversation throughout the meal. She ended up hooking me up with the Traditional Shaved Ice 傳統刨冰 with grass jelly, red bean, boba, sweet potato balls, taro balls, brown sugar syrup, and condensed milk. I was already planning to order it anyway, and wow... I finished the entire thing. The brown sugar syrup was incredibly fragrant. Packed the leftovers to-go, and that ended up becoming my dinner after landing in San Francisco later that evening. Flight cancellation somehow turned into a really great food day.

It is self-seating so you'll place the number on your table. They offer some utensils at the tables but it is also self service so you can get your own bowl, plates, utensils and water. FOOD I came with a large group so we ordered a good number of dishes. All the dishes were delicious, flavorful and above and beyond for what I find it to be more a fusion-Asian restaurant. I particularly liked their brown sugar milk team as it comes with boba and grass jelly. And their mochi was SO delicious. This would be a place my parents would enjoy a lot. PARKING It's in downtown LA so parking can be tough. There are plenty of paid parking structures nearby. WOULD I COME BACK? YES!
