Down lows: Portions are very small, slightly overpriced. Overall, not bad and might try it again.

Xiao Long Bao 10/10: I will say-- I am no Xiao long Bao…read moreexpert but I have had my fair share of soup dumplings... That being said I would 100% suggest this spot to anyone who is craving them! The wrapper is perfectly cooked, thin, and the dumplings themselves are a good size! Perfectly soupy and juicy. They are also priced really well! PORK FRIED RICE 9/10: Really good fried rice! It had a bit of pork, some carrot pieces, and has the slightest hint of sweetness that rounds the dish. I only wish that it had green onions :( The rice is roughly priced the same as the soup dumplings. AMBIANCE 9.5/10: Really clean interior, clean tables, open layout with lots of natural light. The only note is that it can be hard to find dine in seating when it's rush hour. NOTES-- - Street parking - They have restrooms! - Really sweet and accommodating staff :)

Nay ho ma, Ixlb Dim Sum Eats!!!! Where have I been??? I know you've been on Sunset, I've even…read morepassed you several times. Each time I think back to my days in HK and Kowloon and think, they can't really be as good as I remember, right?!? OOOOOOHHHHHHH.....MAN! I don't think I can remember the last time I was THIS wrong. Except for that time I bought an eraser - but I digress.... After a disappointing taste of lackluster sesame balls in OC, I HAD to find some true-to-form(pun intended) golf ball sized, stuffed with red bean paste yumminess - STAT. But did I want to venture to SGV? NO! I just KNEW there had to be a closer option. On the way to a friend's house today, I remembered the cute little bao, smiling at me as I drove through Hollywood. Go. Get. That. BAO!!!! I got that bao AND my fave treat, the sesame balls! SO GOOD!!! I can't wait to go back and try more and I may even invite some Yelp friends along for the experience. Because this wasn't just a run in and pick-up, this was a neighborhood experience like I haven't had in awhile. Sunday, 11:30am. I walk in and clock the large center table filled with a family I'll venture to guess is visiting from somewhere currently experiencing much colder weather than our March 1 sunshine high of 84. I make my way to the touch screen and start my order before finding a corner seat looking out at Sunset Blvd. It's not long before my name is called and a friendly lady with smiling eyes, masked face, gloved hands and wearing an apron sets my goodies down at my spot. I am immediately surprised and pleased with how everything looks and smells. Certainly cleaner and even more enticing than the "Fragrant Harbor" of the South China Sea. My first round (yes, I said FIRST - don't judge) consisted of Chicken Siu Mai-4pc, Har Gow(shrimp)-4pc, Sticky Rice Ball-3pc and, of course, Sesame Balls-3pc. All of these had this solo diner doing a seated happy dance and smiling at anyone who dared to glance in whilst passing by outside. HEAVEN! The full flavor of each delicacy was better than I remember. While I thoroughly enjoyed each and every "little heart", I was so very happy to see that Ixlb Dim Sum uses chunks of real shrimp in the Har Gow. Recently, I've noticed a switch at other places to shrimp paste. They might fill the rice wrapper, but when you break it open, it's paste. At Ixlb, the quality was obvious. And that was true for each dish. While I'm basking in the glow that is this culinary delight, I notice a lady and gentleman walking around the tables, greeting customers, exchanging pleasantries and making sure everything stays clean and inviting. Ah! The heart of the business! Lovely people! Before I almost forget about continuing to my friend's house, I grabbed TWO MORE orders. The beautiful, graceful lady I assume to be one of the owners I saw earlier, hands me one bag, then I point to the other. She does a double take and realizes, indeed, they are both mine. This makes her smile even brighter. I rub my belly and proclaim proudly, 'HO HO SIC!' In cantonese this means 'the most delicious to eat' and I mean it. Her eyes go big with surprise and we both laugh and she nods, knowingly. I am definitely NOT the first to tell her this and I won't be the last. For my friend, I brought the signature Xiao Long Bao-5pc, Edamame, Baked Char Siu Bao-3pc, Chicken Siu Mai(again), Har Gow(again) and Baked Egg Custard Tarts-3pc. Then, I hid some goodies for me "for later": Sesame Balls(yes, I KNOOOOW, I have a problem!) and Vegetarian Garlic Noodles - YUM!!! When I got to her house and opened everything up she asked, 'Who's going to eat all this?!' 'Oh saaa-weetie! No need to worry about a thing and there's MORE where this came from!' While parking caaaaaan be a challenge, it will not deter me in the least from returning to this location. I will also check out their Westwood Village location as well. The value for the amount of food, the quality, taste and SERVICE deserve a rarely given 5 stars from me. Cheers! "CC"

While they do have General Tsao on the menu it's listed as spicy so I may try it next time. I had the beef broccoli which was good. The fried dumplings are always a go to and they did not disappoint and were still a bit crispy when it was delivered. That savory taste 10/10. The spring rolls were good but wish they had big egg rolls on the menu. I definitely wanted cream cheese wontons. I was a bit disappointed by the almost non existent amount of cream cheese but they were still good. They gave the normal sweet and sour sauce but my disappointment about the cream cheese was quelled when I tried the Dijon like horseradish sauce that also came with. The sweet and savory 10/10. I'll definitely ask for that any time I have wontons. I can't speak to the ambiance since I ordered delivery but the food came quick and satisfied my cravings. I may pop inside to try out the general tsao some time. If ur in Burbank or an abutting neighborhood I'd definitely recommend it. Happy munching!

During our visit, I noticed an employee named Joseph loudly yelling at an older gray-haired gentleman who appeared to be bringing food out from the kitchen. It wasn't my business, but it was uncomfortable to watch. The real issue came when I received the bill. I politely told Joseph that the white rice and Szechuan dish we ordered never arrived at our table. Instead of checking with the kitchen or handling the situation professionally, he immediately responded in front of other customers: "Yes it did! You ate it and now you're trying not to pay for it!" I was completely baffled. Does he really think I'm trying to get out of paying for a side of white rice? To make that accusation publicly in front of other patrons was embarrassing and unprofessional. At that point, it wasn't even worth arguing. I paid the bill and left. The dim sum was mediocre, but the customer service was far worse. Had I read some of the other reviews beforehand, I probably would have chosen somewhere else. After this experience, I can understand why so many people complain about the service. I won't be returning.

I decided to go with the Mongolian hot bar I piled on cabbage, all vegetables with one egg and house sauce. I tried the fruit the watermelon and cantaloupe wasn't sweet, however, the honeydew was really yummy. They have a boba drink station I tried the passion tea it was good. My boyfriend tried their desserts he liked the three layer mouse cake. I wasn't aware the Restaurant in LA charge a 10% service fee when I saw it on the bill I immediately was going to question it however, I googled first and basically the restaurants have to post it before charging you. When we walked in we didn't notice the signs on the wall if you don't pay attention you will miss the notice as you walk in. The 10% is to help the owner offset gratuity and healthcare for the employees so you have no choice but to pay it even if you didn't see the posting on the wall. They also have a sign to say a tip is not required because of the service fee.

Came here with classmates to celebrate ourselves, and why not with the abundance of food at Gourmet City. One of our classmates recommended this place and glad she did because I am not going to stop coming here after this. Where do I start? Upon entrance you are greeted by a lovely marble floor and grandiose chandelier and beautiful sign. The place is clean and very open, plates and drinks are open and all station very kept up with. My mongolian grille plate was soooo good and cooked to order(added jalapenos,bell peppers red&green,mushrooms,cabage, garlic and beef. It was so delicious! Second plate, was good to LOL a lottttttt of crab legs which the price for itself at this point, Shrimp broil style, thai style,scampi. Theres pasta,ribs,salad. But also desserts like ie chocolate fountain OMG, jello and the fresh fruit was so delicious. I waited all day for this place and Im so glad I did. I had a little bit of everything and cant wait to bring my son and husband. Servers were attentive,served water and utensils at all times. Parking was easy at 330ish time but I can imagine it could get difficult. Thank you!

I wasnt too sure of…read morewhat to expect, but the interior was so beautifully done with a mix of a subway/ speakeasy vibe and perfect lighting for any occasion. It was a but busy when we got there but luckily we got seared pretty shortly after arrival. We originally wanted to sit at the bar, but opted for a table for less wait time. When first looking at the menu we were shocked by the prices. I knew immediately i wanted to get the hui tou potstikers with pork and noodles. We ended up adding on the hongkong style wontons too. To my suprise the wontons arrived in a delicious and warm broth, keeping them perfectly moist and plump. The broth was so delicious even on a hot day, tasting faintly of sesame and scallion. Despite both dishes being pork they were so different and equally amazing in flavor. The pan fried potstikers which were CRISPED TO PERFECTION especially reminded me of black bean shortribs that you get from dimsum, fatty but hearty and had me wanting more and more each bite. The minced pork noodles were to no suprise, so good. Noodles tasted fresh, the sauce was umami with mushrooms and pork. While im not the biggest fan of mushrooms, i still ate it up. I feel it would be so good with some picked cabbage too to complement the saltiness. Most notable thing... THAT CHILI OIL. We probably used almost half the jar left at the table. It wasnt spicy at all, but it had this flavor that i genuinely have never tasted before. The texture of the chilli and sesame and the nutty flavor had me in awe. Enough to take two jars home... i would do it again. Servers were so quick, made sure everything we needed was at the table. Regardless of the crowd we were met with promptness and generosity. This that wonton place your girl tells you not to worry about forreal. Will be coming back despite the long drive from home.

Walked in today at 3:45 pm and was greeted by the host name Melody and she took us to our table. A minute later, Luis, our server came to take our order. We ordered 4 items that could have fed an entire Army. It really was a lot of food. Generous portions and still had left overs to take home. We got small orange chicken, which was more like a large size, ($14.49), Chicken Steamed Dumplings ($7.99), Vegetable egg rolls (4) pieces(8.99), and their House Special Fried Rice that came with: chicken, beef, shrimp, eggs, peas, carrots & green onions.(16.99). Luis & Bryan were very nice, pleasant, kind and very attentive. They checked on us like 4 times. Our food came out fast, tasted fresh, hot and delicious. Let me not forget to tell you that the minute you sit down, they bring Complimentary hot Green tea in a teapot. The restaurant along with the restroom were very clean. 10/10. Underground valet parking shared with other businesses; and you can also park on the street and metered parking. Thank you all for your dedication, loyalty throughout the years!! 3rd party orders, take out, delivery and of course dine in.

Regardless, I was immediately greeted and got my food quickly while it was still piping hot. I was extremely impressed by the flavor and tenderness of the shrimp here. I could drink the sauce my kung pao shrimp came in. Everything was perfectly cooked and the spice level was very mild, despite the bits of charred chiles mixed into the dish. I could actually probably go up a spice level or two if anything. The rice tasted even better once I got the idea to mix some of the sauce into it too. Unfortunately, I ordered a boba Thai tea from them but they were out of boba and it turned out to be a little too sweet for me anyways. The prices were pretty fair especially for their lunch meals so I really didn't mind.

The rice was definitely cooked in old oil. OLD oil. It was so gnarly dude. I took a few bites and asked myself why I spent $12 to poison myself. The eggroll (probably cooked in the same oil), was permanently hot. The flavor was good on it but my stomach was starting to turn from the couple bites of rice. I finished the beef and broccoli because the sauce on it was good and the broccoli was yummy. But the beef was clearly not really beef I think. The fried shrimp was inedible completely. I don't really believe in giving 1 stars but I have to this time around because the service was really bad as well. It took like 20 minutes for someone to see me and there was no attempt at trying to fix my meal.
