    Was with a bunch of guys before a UCLA basketball game, so no photos other than the menu. We were hungry and wanted a somewhat quick bite. There are a few tables on the outside patio, otherwise it's a good to-go place if you're local or not traveling far. We ordered a whole bunch of things and it was all delicious. The staff is super nice and the prices are quite reasonable. I had been hearing about this place for a while and it lived up to the hype. As far as do not miss items... I'd say the Xiao Long Bao, The Cha Siu Bao and the Garlic Noodles! And I'd also add the Chicken Over Rice. If you're looking for something easy and tasty and well priced in Westwood, this is the place!

    Decided to check this place out as it was near our hotel. It's a very small place with mostly outdoor seating. There are several screens on that wall which you can order your food. I actually really like this because you can see pictures of the food and take your time ordering. Since it was our first time here we took a long time to decide what we wanted. We decided on several different things. The lady was very nice when she brought out our food and quickly came out to clean the table after we were done. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. We liked it a lot. I would definitely come back and try other things.

    Such a great spot for authentic, flavorful dim sum at very reasonable prices (almost everything on the menu is under $10). I ordered the xiao long bao and chicken noodle soup, but the noodles were the standout for me. The broth was packed with flavor and the chicken was juicy and well-seasoned. The perfect comfort meal. Service was also very quick. Definitely one of my new favorite spots in Westwood.

    Restaurant was quick, clean and staff were pleasant. We had several dishes and enjoyed them all. Our family enjoys dim sum carts, but this was good for a quick lunch. Good was fresh and hot. The chicken bao and soup dumplings were my personal favorites.

    I was trying out various restaurants in westwood and came across this one, pretty small place but lots of outdoor seating, super nice for a quick bite and for pretty good prices too! it's mostly online order or kiosk-ran so not too much on customer service but the employees were friendly I got pickled cucumbers which are a little too vinegary and strong sesame oil flavors for my personal preference I really liked the har gow, their filling is really plump and juicy I also loved the pan fried turnip cake, there's a slight crisp of the fried outer layer and it's not too dense

    Atrocious street parking + small takeout restaurant with some outside seating + friendly service. We got the har gow ($7), siu mai ($7), pork xlbs ($7), shrimp wonton with chili oil ($7), and chicken over rice noodles ($7). I thought the food was okay, would get it out of convenience.

    Pork and shrimp siu mai, char siu baos, shrimp wontons, pork soup noodles
    Maddie D.

    Actually so bomblicious. I have heard such great things about this dim sum place and was not disappointed. My friend and I ordered the pork and shrimp siu mai, shrimp wonton, char siu steamed baos, and the pork soup noodles. Was a little pricey, but I would say pretty standard for a dim sum place. I absolutely love how juicy and tender the filling was for the siu mai. The siu mai and shrimp wonton were also pretty sizable as well. My favorite dish that we ordered was definitely the char siu baos. The baos were SO NICE AND FLUFFY and the char siu was so soft and perfectly flavored. I'm always hesitant about bao fillings because sometimes the meat would be really fatty but the meat in these baos were so tender. The soup noodles were also pretty good as well. Lots of noodles actually, we were not able to finish all the noodles. I would say 3 to 4 items is a good size to share for two people. ALSO ALSO the workers were actually so sweet. They brought out our take out when or oder was ready which was really nice as we didn't have to go in to get our food.

    This place feels like fast food Dim Sum. They had a pretty good selection and our food came out fast. The soup dumplings were pretty good and so we're the dumplings. Overall a good experience and pretty fast meal.

    Baked Egg Custard Tart (3)
    Odelia S.

    Only went in for a sweet treat. I seriously LOVE egg tarts and this place makes them perfectly. Also paid less than $7 for 3 of them which is such a great deal. It was a really quick interaction and the worker was sweet, she told me they make them fresh daily. I need to come back and try their actual food next time, I'm sure it's also great and authentic.

    If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would My husband and I ate here after a walk around Westwood. We were hesitant at first because we were planning to have dinner elsewhere, but am so glad we decided to eat at ixlb instead! When you enter, there are about 4-5 kiosks to place your order. We went through the menu and decided on the wonton shrimp dumpling (fried), pan fried chicken dumpling, xiao long bao, street noodle special and sesame balls. Since we ordered for dine in, our order was brought out to us with complimentary water, chopsticks and soy sauce packets. And BOY were we more than satisfied! For me, the STAR of the show was the wonton shrimp dumplings, which were perfectly deep fried, bursting with quality shrimp, and dressed in the perfect dollop of chili oil. If you're a shrimp lover and in the mood for a slightly spicy and crispy dumpling, I would definitely recommend ordering this! My next favorite was the chicken dumplings which were juicy, flavorful and probably the heartiest chicken dumplings I have ever had - 10/10. And to round out my order, sesame balls for dessert! They we're HUGE and came out warm! And to my surprise, variety sesame balls with red bean and mooncake filings, which I thought was really cool since I don't get mixed sesame balls often. My husband ordered the noodles and xlb. I wasn't a fan of the xlb but the noodles were okay. We happily ate our meal in outdoor seating area, which consists of about 4 high tops of 4 and two low tops of 4 and 2. For about $6-$7 per plate, this was a definite steal, especially considering how full and happy we were afterwards. If you're in Westwood, or not!, and looking for some dim sum, you HAVE TO go to ixlb dim sum!

    Love the setup of this restaurant! They have tablets ready to place your order and tables outside. No indoor dining. Veggie Dumplings - This was my favorite thing off of everything we ordered. The filling was so tasty, I wish I had ordered more! 10/10 Springs Rolls - Overall taste was good but maybe a little too heavy on the mushrooms. It was slightly on the greasier side too. 7/10 Chinese Broccoli - Big chunks of broccoli with thick stems. Wish there were more leafy bits but it tasted great and perfectly steamed! 8/10 Chow Mein - Probably won't order this one again. It tasted kinda bland and there were little veggies. 5/10 Our food came out timely and everything was so reasonably priced! They also have a ton of vegetarian/vegan options! Everything is pretty much available to customize too. Love!

    How do you pronounce this business? 9LB? iXlb? Is it latin? Aztec? Taiwaztec? I don't know but I love it. Just visited this restaurant for the first time and left totally blown away. I ordered the Taiwanese cabbage, the vegetarian baos, and the steamed seafood pearls, and omg the food is so fresh. The steamed seafood pearls are the best: juicy and bouncy. The taste is beyond. The cabbage and the baos need a little dressing up with the sauce, but overall super fresh and healthy. I ordered to go and Jenny at the front was really nice in explaining the menu to me. Will definitely come back to try the fried dumplings and different baos. A++ recommend. One note: they do use a lot of plastic. I'm aware that a lot of the food is steamed and comes out super hot. Maybe there's a different type of serving set they could phase to in the future that is less harmful for the environment.

    Cha Siu Bao!
    Mark M.

    I enjoy coming here and it is always a vibe. It is so difficult to be selective when you are hungry, so I ordered a large selection to make sure that I would take home different choices. I ended up getting the Xiao Long Bao, Cha Siu Bao, Chicken Siu Mai, and a side of rice. The Xiao Long Bao consisted of 5 pieces of juicy pork dumplings where each had ground pork, ginger, garlic, scallion, and cabbage. There were 3 pieces for the Cha Siu Bao, which was a chopped BBQ honey roast pork bao. I also got the usual Chicken Siu Mai, which had 4 pieces filled with chicken ginger, and sweet corn covered by an egg wrap. It was all so warm and tasty and every time I come here, I am reminded of when we used to frequent similar spots when I was a child and when we would have these items here and there at family parties!

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.

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.

You order at the counter before finding a table, which made everything feel efficient and relaxed. We ordered the pork belly bun, Taiwanese popcorn chicken, pan-fried pork buns, beef noodle soup, and Hakka mochi. The MVP of the meal was undoubtedly the Taiwanese popcorn chicken. It was honestly better than many versions I've had in Taiwan, and I've had plenty. The chicken was crispy and crunchy without being greasy, and the meat stayed juicy rather than drying out. If you come here, order this. The pork belly bun was my personal favorite. The braised pork belly practically melted in my mouth, and everything was seasoned beautifully. Simple, balanced, and incredibly satisfying. The pan-fried pork buns were the only disappointment. The filling felt underseasoned, and the bottoms lacked the crispy crust I was hoping for. They were fine, but not something I would order again. The beef noodle soup was solid. The broth was excellent, with a depth of flavor and spice profile that I really enjoyed. Unfortunately, the beef shank was overcooked and a bit too dry (乾) for my liking. For dessert, we had the Hakka mochi. It was served warm, pleasantly chewy, and not overly sweet. It was a nice way to end the meal and made me curious to try some of their other desserts next time. This was overall a fantastic meal. Not every dish was perfect, but the highlights were memorable enough that I'll gladly return. The popcorn chicken alone is worth the visit.

The food came pretty quickly and arrived before our drinks, in fact. The cucumber salad was fresh, and the cucumbers had a nice crunch. I liked the flavor of the chicken, but I thought it a bit on the dry side. The dan dan noodles and pork buns were excellent, however. The noodles were flavorful and had an enjoyable chew. The pork buns were tasty as well and filled with juicy meat. I also really liked the soy milk. It wasn't too sweet, and it had a nice thickness. The staff was friendly. The restaurant is a casual spot with a self-serve water station.
