The Sesame noodle is not what I expect taste salty and bitter. I wished they provide more description of what type of sesame noodle it is.
Service was nice and they were sitting behind the counter as we were eating. They dont sell just a side of rice, only as a combination with other things. There werent that many people dining in so it was a quiet evening. We ordered a pork and crab dumpling which we couldn't taste the crab. It didnt stand out. The sesame noodle didnt hit the mark. Im not sure what happened, but it wasnt what I remembered it to be.
I went to Dumpling House recently hoping for a good meal, but left feeling pretty underwhelmed. The xiao long bao had flavor -- that was the only real bright spot -- but every single one broke before I could even lift it. No soup stayed in, wrapper fell apart. Taste was good, just... very fragile. Then the tomato egg noodles came, and wow, so basic. It tasted like something my 14-year-old could whip up at home in 10 minutes. No depth, no texture -- kind of just there. Overall: the dumplings (when they don't disintegrate) are decent, but unfortunately those breaks killed the experience. I don't see myself coming back.
Didn't feel like cooking tonight so we decided to try Hui Tou Xiang. We ordered the following: Zhá Jìang Noodle Hong Kong Style Wontons Pork Hock Pork HuiTou (8pcs) Pan Fried Pork Bun Pork & Crab XLB Pork & Leek Pancakes Steamed Vegetables Although the flavors were decent. We didn't quite have any favorites. The fillings for the Pork & Leek Pancakes, Pork HuiTou, and Pan Fried Pork Bun were good but it was too doughy, wish the dough was done thinner. I liked the wonton soup but then the sesame oil and seaweed overpowering the soup. My least favorite was the Pork & Crab XLB, which I thought would have been the best, lacked crab flavor. The steamed veggies, Pork Hock, and Zhá Jìang Noodle were just okay as well. I think if I didn't have better dumplings, meat pancake, and wonton soup somewhere earlier this week, I would have enjoyed this more. On another note, They are in a busy shopping center on Las Tunas with limited parking space.
I absolutely loved this place! I would definitely go out of my way to come back to this place for more dumplings! We came to visit another establishment in the same parking lot, but we ended up here since there was a wait time at the other place. When I walked up, there was literally no line, but I must've been lucky because as soon as I ordered shortly after the line started. The two girls at the front were helpful as I don't know the names of all the dumplings or what's inside and they helped me decide what I wanted. Anytime dumplings are involved, I always end up buying a variety since the family always wants everything. If you are from this area, you have no idea how lucky you are to be near this establishment. I would absolutely love to come back to try other items, if you are a local, please tell me what you recommend so I can make sure to get it next time. If you haven't visited this place yet, you're definitely missing out!
Small little shop where 6 people take up half the restaurant. Good service, attentive staff. Who brings out chilled glasses? For a small mom and pop that's crazy 5 star quality service. No one really does this anymore (except for bars) this was perfect for this hot summer weather. So I went with a large group and we all picked and item, everyone got a taste of everything. Everything tasted so good, the "spicy" dumplings isn't very spicy so I kinda just kept eating those. Can't recommend anything specific because I enjoyed everything
Good selection of food on their menu and tasty overall. It felt more like a takeout spot given the presentation of food, but we got a table in their small establishment and found it to be an overall pleasant experience. The food was great and filling - we ordered too much for sure! Their specialties were great and juicy. Overall, we had a good lunch and left feeling satisfied - only thing lacking was no water without buying it.
Came for a dinner with a group of wonderful friends! Parking was a bit difficult so we parked on the streets, we also saw a sign that said additional parking in another plaza nearby. The place is actually really small! Around five tables and seating? The menu isn't really long so it's easy to order quickly and I'm glad once we order the food comes fairly quick. We ordered some dumpings, pork Xiao long bao (XLB), shumai, scallion pancakes, sesame noodles, and potstickers. The boiled dumplings can be confusing since they all look the same. The shrimp sui mai is mu favorite, I think because it didn't contain ginger. They also gave us a bowl of ginger.... The sesame noodles are served dry and really good! You have to blend it well and make sure all the sauce is in because it's really thick. After that we ordered more since there's 6 of us so we got pork short rib noodles, chicken and cilantro dumplings, and pork XLB. I preferred the chicken and cilantro dumplings as well, very refreshing and tasty. They also had canned soda which also includes Diet Coke (the menu doesn't show Diet Coke). The restroom is unisex and glad they have one! Overall pretty good, I think I'm happy to try the place since I do enjoy dumplings but I can't have much all the time!
Went there for late lunch and this was the first time I had the place after passing by it so many times. The portion size is good for me and so is their prices. One question I have is how did they get their pan fried dumplings to be juicy. It was flavorful! Staffs were very friendly as well. Smaller restaurant but it's definitely worth trying.
Still a good spot for Chinese comfort food and dumplings. There's about 10 tables give or take and comfortable seating. We had from order of most to least favorite: - pork hui tou: this is the specialty of this place and they still a good job with the crispy outside shell - three flavor dumplings: this is surprisingly pretty good and a solid dumpling choice with the shrimp inside - sesame noodles: very flavorful with the sesame sauce but note sharing is not easy at all given how long the video is - scallion pancake: unlike other places, this is fried to a crisp and much thinner. A unique spin on the usual but the downside is I can tell they used older oil on this. - xiao long bao: I am unfortunately less of a fan of thicker dumpling skin, so this was my least favorite. Doesn't stand out as much from other XLBs in the SGV.
The pork pot stickers were crunchy soft and tasty, the braised beef noodle soup was where I wished it was more or it lacked flavor. Yes the soup is spicy but the broth tasted watery and needed a bit more love. The noodles were slightly undercooked. The service was same as ambiance, meh. It's cool here for a quick bite for, the don't serve hot tea which was surprisingly on a cold evening where dumplings and tea can hit the spot. Cold water is not a good choice
We stopped by on a Sunday for lunch and managed to snag seats for the five of us. The space is pretty small, but there's parking and a bathroom available. I got the sesame noodles and we split the pan fried buns. I really enjoyed the flavors and textures, and you can tell they make it fresh. They serve the food in plastic takeout containers, and there's bottled water available for purchase so if you're dining in, you're welcome to bring your own drink.
Stumbled upon this great find when searching for Taiwanese food. The parking lot is small and gets very crowded, but you can find parking on the street as well. The environment feels like a level above hole in the wall. There is limited seating - approximately 5 tables. (+): -accepts credit card; previously it was cash only. -can dine in with takeout boxes. There is no waiter service. -wide selection- dumplings and noodles / decent prices (-): -beef was not tender; needed more simmering time -no complimentary water available (a party asked for this and they didn't have it) Overall, this was a great experience and I would return back.

Fast, clean, affordable and friendly service. What a combo. We had hungry eyes so ordered 2 appetizers and 3 dishes between 2 people. The hock and cucumbers to start. Minced braised meat noodles, the obligatory pork soup dumplings, and the pork hui you which is essentially retangular pan fried dumplings. Downside is it's a popular lot with limited parking so factor that in. Upside is we went next door to Paris Baguette for desserts after. read more

The famous hui tou xiang. We got ours to go and it took about 25 minutes. When we first opened it, it didn't look as crispy as I thought it would be. First bite was ok. I don't like onion, so I didn't expect much when the hui tou is filled with white onion. However, even my friend who loves onion, said it was underwhelming. Overall, it's ok. I just wished it was crispier. read more

My partner really wanted fish dumplings and a friend had recommended to check this place out. There's not many places that do fish dumplings and I was curious how it was going to taste. The portions were good sized and everything tasted something so good. I regret not trying this place a lot earlier. I would say this place is a hidden gem. I ended up coming back a few days later to buy some of the frozen fish dumplings to steam up at home whenever I am craving it. It was about $35? For about 50 dumplings. It tasted almost exactly like I had in the restaurant. Definitely coming back again soon. read more
Came here on a Friday evening a couple weeks ago and there was no wait to dine inside. The three items we ordered were fresh, made to order, and piping hot served. Generous portions for sharing where my friend and I had enough for leftovers to take home. Reasonable prices. Nice servers. Clean interior. Just wish they offered hot tea instead of only canned soda for beverage options. Would eat here again. read more

Came here for the first time and so far so good. Ordered online and tried the pork hui tou, spicy pork wonton, steamed vegetables and scallion pancakes. Because I ordered online, it didn't say exactly when my order was going to be ready so I waited over 20 mins. When I went to pick my food up, the store itself was empty, and it looked like my food was sitting there for a while. My food wasn't hot lol. Next time I know to come earlier. Anyways, the pork hui tou was pretty good. I definitely want to try their food when it's hot, I feel like that would definitely taste better. My favorites were definitely the pork hui tou and the scallion pancakes. read more

This is the first time I try this dumpling place. I ordered the pan fried pork buns and the vegetarian leek pancakes. The pan fried pork bun looks bigger than normal but the pork inside is small. There is not a lot of juice inside the bun. The vegetarian leek pancakes taste OK. The filling is good but the dough outside is not crispy. Both came out quite greasy. I had better pan fried pork buns and vegetarian leek pancakes. I probably will not return. read more
Wanted some comfort food so decided to come here. It's located in the same plaza as Paris Baguette and Old Ferry Donut. Dinner on a Friday night was a little crowded not not too long of a wait. They only have about 7 tables inside so more of a cozy place. Nice staff and empathetic. There was an issue with one of our dishes and they made sure to take care of us for it. They have a small paper menu that you check off, kind of like those you get at some dim sum restaurants. We ordered the pork Hui Tou fried dumplings and they have a unique rectangular shape, not what I'm used to. The skin is thicker and chewier and filling is sorta dense. Spicy dumplings wasn't exceptional but taste okay too. Spicy mixed noodle was served cold and had a vinegary base. It has a light crunch with the peanuts. Pork hock noodle soup is served with pieces of cold pork hock (and they tell you it's cold, so no surprises). I like warm food so I just stuck the pork in the soup for a while and watched the meat fall apart. I think my favorite was the scallion pancake which was airy and very crispy. read more
It was so unfortunate this place changed the trend to serve in take away box for all food purchased. The quality of the foods were good. Noodles was chewy in perfect way, Xia Long Bao had good amount of juicy inside it and Hui To was the highlight of all menus we ordered!! The sauce for sesame noodles was too salty though. I sensed the 2 ladies who stood the counter seemed do whatever job. (Looks like the family member to me) It is sad knowing this place has good potential to become success through the great quality of food but did not use this opportunity due to poor service. My advise not to ruin your experience from this place, just do take away and eat at home and don't dine in! read more

LUNCH IS SAVED! They're finally doing in person dining again. It's been more than a minute since I got to eat here. While the food is always delicious, it just doesn't hit the same after a drive home. Being ass in seat and getting to eat right as it comes out is just a completely different experience. The restaurant is, in a word, quaint. You're literally in a box chowing down on some authentic Chinese cuisine. It reminds me of some of the hole in the wall places I ate at in China, but much cleaner. If your main goal during a meal is to eat some delicious food, this is where you want to be. I keep saying Din Tai Fung is overrated and I love it when hole in the wall shops like these keep proving me right. read more

Small little mom and pop shop where you order to go and you can eat it on the few tables they have. There's no waiters. Parking is available in the plaza shared with other establishments. The only thing I liked from here was the pork and leek pancake. Perfectly crisp and delicious. Everyone here was raving about their spicy wontons but honestly it was good but nothing to rave about. The pork and crab xlb was okay, their skin is a bit too thick for my liking. I still like DTF xlb and spicy wontons more. Forget the noodles, I don't recommend it at all. It's bland and flavorless. read more

The dumplings here are good. Famous for the signature "rectangle shape" dumplings (Hui Tou). Loved the PORK, vegetarian, fish, and anything with CHIVES dumplings. Didn't care for the beef hui tou dumplings - nor do I recommend the beef. This place is mainly Takeout only joint. A few here and there tables if you want to eat at the restaurant; everything is served in takeout containers. Their Hollywood restaurant (second location) has a nice full bar and a cozy beautiful setup for dine-in. I do love this flagship location because it's easy-peasy for takeout pickup and I can buy frozen dumplings by the dozen for the family. Payment: CARD and CASH. Parking: Street parking is easier and safe in the neighborhood, the mini-plaza situation has tight parking - a hot mess. read more

Great flavors, lots of meat, and perfectly chewy noodles. Price is also very fair for how much food they give you. This is one of my favorite spots in LA. Highly recommend. I also tried the meatball soup but this is the best IMO. read more
