Luscious Dumplings gave us another amazing dining experience! It had been about a year since the…read morelast time we ate here. We came in recently to redeem our SGV Food Passport for 1 order of the mixed pan fried dumplings. The parking is typically not bad around the evening time. The location is always busy and sometimes 80% full. They have maybe 8-10 tables inside. We came in and were seated quickly the staff was awesome she explained everything about our SGV redemption and we orders some XLB dumplings as well. We both redeemed our deals as ended up with 20 free pan fried dumplings. We got to try 4 types of the pan fried plates. We ate the chicken, shrimp & cabbage, fish and pork. These are some of BEST pan fried dumplings in the SGV. These tasted even better than the first time we came here. I'm happy they still deliver on quality of food and quality of service! Thanks again, Luscious Dumplings!

Visited 5/21/26 -…read moreAngus Stewed Beef Noodle 15 Hands down the best noodle soup. The beef is soft, tender, flavorful. The broth is delicate but packs a mean punch of flavor, no restaurant has come close to a balance as good as this. If you have been to the OG luscious or one one dumpling, this is the exact same. - Pan Fried Pork Dumpling 13.5 The skin is thick and fried to caramelized heaven. I would say if you want a hefty dumpling this is the place. If you remember the original location, the dumplings taste similar but not fried as well. Still one of the best spots around. - Pork XLB 13.5 One of the dishes you just have to get when eating taiwanese beef noodle soup. No notes, a great XLB with thin skin that doesn't break easily! If you have never been here, you have to come. The chili oil is my sister's favorite that she buys a bottle every time we visit. My brother in law has me order take out every time I visit him in the bay, this place is truly that good. Ambiance isn't great but thats not the reason why this place is amazing, the emphasis is on the food. Bathroom rating is 4 stars, decent enough to use. Not much interaction with staff, you order with QR Code.

I've been there as well, but I highly recommend the Arcadia location. The service was attentive. What we ordered. Chinese Chrysanthemum Tea (2) - $4.40 Squid Ink Shrimp Dumplings with Gold Leaf - $10.98 This is one of my daughter's favorite dishes. The black squid ink wrappers make them visually striking, while the shrimp filling is tender and flavorful. The touch of gold leaf gives them an elegant presentation. Sweet-Scented Osmanthus Jelly - $6.38 That is my favorite dessert. Light, refreshing, and delicately sweet with a subtle floral aroma. Shrimp & Pork Dumplings with Black Truffle - $7.38 Juicy and well-balanced. Squid Ink Scallop Dumplings with XO Sauce - $11.98 Another one of my daughter's favorites. The scallops were tender, and the XO sauce added a savory richness that complemented the squid ink beautifully. Spare Ribs with Black Bean Sauce - $6.98 That is my dish. The ribs were tender, well-seasoned, and coated in a savory black bean sauce with just the right amount of garlic and saltiness. Sautéed String Beans with Minced Pork - $18.80 This is another one of my daughter's must-order dishes. The green beans were crisp, and wok-fried with minced pork, garlic, and chili. Fabulous! Black Truffle Chicken (Half) - $24.80 My favorite entrée of the afternoon. The chicken was moist, and tender, while fresh cilantro and onions added brightness to the dish. Yummy! I highly recommend the Black Truffle Chicken, Sautéed String Beans with Minced Pork, and the Sweet-Scented Osmanthus Jelly.

I have never left a bad review on yelp for a restaurant business. However, after today's…read moreexperience, I feel the need to warn other customers. My husband and I came to Chef Tony for the first time because we read online it was included on the online Michelin Guide for restaurants in LA. Even before the food was served, we noticed a few flies flying around the restaurant and going around tables that were already served food. As soon as our first dish was served, one or two flies started coming over. My husband and I didn't mind just brushed them away. But pretty soon..we were getting 3 or 4 that were flying and attempting to get into our food. One landed on my husband's water cup before we could get to it. And funny thing is a waitress happens to be at our table bringing out more dishes to our table, clearly saw the fly landing on the cup but did not say anything or offer us another cup. I know she saw because I saw her looked at the cup and moved the cup to the side. Basically our whole meal time was consumed with looking for flies that were trying to get to our food. Flies were landing on the booth bench...other table's food..or on other customers. At first, we asked for napkins to cover each dish so we wouldn't have to keep swatting our hands while we try to eat. Eventually, my husband and I ended up asking for to-go containers to at least be able to take some bites in peace knowing our food would be covered. Overall, very disappointed with the dining experience. So unless you're okay with swatting flies your whole meal, I don't recommend coming here.

We got the bbq chicken, which is always a hit and I decided to try the mahi mahi, parents loved it. It was hot, crispy, fresh, and the delicious! Noodles were decent, nothing too special, definitely a good filler. We also ordered the crab ragoons, ehhh I could've don't without them. My husband love their Mac salad so I made sure to order two large containers. That was also a hit. Definitely give this family restaurant a try.

No frills sit-down restaurant, but no cart ladies either. That's not a drawback though. You can see all the dim sum dishes steamed up behind the counter where they're picking up table orders and fulfilling take out patrons. Service was as expected. You're greeted with curt nod and efficiency, sat as soon as there is a table, and given your order sheet. Raise your hand or call for a server when you're ready because you'll be waiting forever if you expect someone to come check in.

During the day they serve dim sum, and at night they switch over to Cantonese seafood dishes. I've eaten here many times for dim sum. They offer both traditional sit down service and a takeout counter in the front if you're in a hurry. The dim sum is solid and definitely hits the spot. Since I live nearby, it's one of those convenient spots I find myself coming back to. This visit was for dinner. We ordered a fish dish that was pretty interesting (honestly not sure what the exact name was), an oyster omelet, and clams with basil. Everything was tasty and definitely made me go through a couple bowls of rice. One thing I always appreciate is that they still give complimentary dessert at the end of the meal. We got green bean soup and some ma lai gao, which was a nice way to finish dinner. Overall, Ocean Bo is one of those neighborhood gems that has stood the test of time. It may not be the trendiest restaurant around, but it's reliable, serves good Cantonese food, and keeps the locals coming back.

It wasn't as busy as it used to be to be. After looking at their menu online, we saw that the lunch price ended at 3:30pm, so we got there before that time. When we were there, we were handed a new menu where lunch is from 11:00-3:00pm and dinner from 4:00-11:00pm. We were asked to pay the dinner price, The waiter just said his manager told him to tell everyone that, but the menu doesn't state the price between 3:00-4:00pm. The online menu also needs to be updated. As for the food, the hot food selection has gone downhill. Not as much variety as before. Mostly fried foods, not as much greens as before. The dessert selection was only oranges and a jello dessert. The meat was sliced super thin, so it wasn't chewy. I would say the service was just ok. One waiter was catering to us, but he was also busy doing other things in the kitchen. Would I come back here again, probably not. I just feel like everything should be transparent, so the trust is there.

It was a bit of a pleasant surprise and immediately sets a comfortable tone. The service was quite impressive... extremely attentive, friendly, and quick. 8/10 for the food. 10/10 for the price point 10/10 for the service. The food was definitely solid for the price point. There were a few misses, but the dishes that landed were executed really well. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area! Siu Mai 10/10 - Juicy, plump and perfectly executed. Definitely my favorite dish. Bean Curd Skin Roll in Abalone Sauce 9/10 - Flavorful with an excellent texture. The whole dish was well executed. Beef Chow Fun 8/10 - Solid and flavorful. The beef was tender, and the noodles had a great texture. Yangzhou Fried Rice 8/10 - The rice was moist and the seasoning was spot on. Shrimp Egg 8/10 - Soft and well seasoned. Generously portioned with very plump shrimp. Pork Chop Spicy Salt 8/10 - Crispy and slightly salted. It has a really great texture to it. Salted Fish and Chicken with Eggplant 8/10 - Perfectly seasoned and cooked. Generous portions of chicken, salty fish and eggplant. Chicken Feet 7/10 - It was solid. Not the best, but definitely not bad. House Special Crispy Shrimp Rolls 5/10 - The flavor of the shrimp was okay, but the rolls were really greasy. There were three very small rolls, definitely not my cup of tea. Chili Wonton 3/10 - By far my least favorite dish. The wonton skin tasted very flour-y, and hardly had any filling. The filling was also very bland and the chili oil was very underwhelming. By the way, the tea is free (I know, free tea at a dim sum spot).

A perk for this place is that they do have a parking garage, which made parking way less stressful compared to other busy dim sum spots in the area.

The food is consistently good, honestly better than a lot of nearby places that charge quite a bit more. What won me over right away, though, was the breakfast combo. Two dim sum items and a hot drink for just $14 is a genuinely good deal. A cold drink is only $1 more (typical HK practice), and you can also take your drink to go for another $1, which is a nice little convenience. I'm pretty particular about milk tea, so I don't say this lightly: their half coffee, half milk tea really hits the spot every time. It's balanced, and satisfying. Beyond the combo, they also serve all the comfort staples, porridge, fried chow mein, Chinese donuts, and my personal favorite, rice noodles with a variety of fillings. It delivers the same comforting flavors you want from a casual dim sum-style breakfast, but without the inflated prices, long waits, and hectic atmosphere that have become so common at more traditional dim sum spots. This place is a solid, dependable replacement for the usual dim sum experience. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the service is consistently warm and welcoming. The driveway can be a little tricky. It sits right next to the Taco Bell drive-through exit, separated only by a fire hydrant, so it's easy to miss or get confused when pulling in. But it's a small tradeoff for a spot that delivers this much value and consistency.
