Jia Yan Dumpling House was great. We ordered the noodles with spicy sauce, chicken fried noodles, spicy chicken wontons, and chicken xiao long bao, and everything was really tasty and came out fresh and hot. The flavors were solid across the board, especially the wontons and xiao long bao. Good portions, fair prices, and quick, friendly service. Definitely a spot worth coming back to. read more

The first impression of this restaurant is that the interior is super casual and low key compared to the other restaurants that serve this kind of food. However, looking at the prices it's definitely not too much cheaper than other similar restaurants. This is place is a very mom and pop style. Which I would expect the price to be more reasonable. We ordered: 1. Pork chop fried rice-- small portion, but the taste is pretty good. The fried rice is pretty delicious. 2. Braised beef noodles--Broth flavor is good, but not much noodles. Beef was tender. 3. Small cold dish appetizer--this one is very disappointing, the glass noodles were kind of hard and the flavors were not very good. I didn't want to eat too much of it even this is my usual favorite dish from other similar restaurants. 4. Stirred fried rice cake--this was kind of salty. The more we ate it the more it tasted salty. 5. xiao long bao--this is okay. Not the best Ive had but not bad. 6. Sweet and sour spare ribs--super small portion for the price being charged. It's almost like ding tai fung's price..but in this kind ambience it feels it's over priced. 7. Steamed sticky rice siu mai--the skin was hard as if it wasn't steamed enough. Service was okay, one lady was super friendly and smiling all the time. But the other lady had no smile and wasn't very patient and just didn't look like she wanted to work. Conclusion is I wont come back due to the over priced food that doesn't live up to the quality with a very casual dining experience. read more

Was craving dumplings but didn't want to do deal with the mall crowd for din tai fung. Found this place which was just a 10 minute drive from us and am obsessed! The food is so good and maybe even better than din tai fung. Their chili oil is so good and flavorful. It goes great with their juicy savory shrimp and pork dumplings which are my favorite. The pork chop fried rice is amazing and so comforting. I enjoyed the shanghai rice cakes with chicken and the beef tenderloin udon as well especially mixed with some of their fresh chili oil. The string beans with garlic has a great crunch texture with a perfect garlic aroma. The service for pick up and to dine in is great and efficient. I love how casual dining in is if you just want to enjoy a quick sit down meal. 10/10 would recommend this restaurant! read more

Jia Yan Dumpling House is a comforting dupling spot. The space is modern but cozy, the kind of restaurant where you can settle in without feeling rushed. It's clean, minimal, and inviting. Pork chop (4.5/5) Golden, audible crisp when you take your bite. The exterior had a beautifully seasoned crust; pepper-forward with just enough savoriness to keep you reaching back for another piece. The pork was also juicy and tender, definitely had me wanting to come back for more. Pork & Shrimp Spicy Wontons (4/5) Silky and comforting. The wrappers were soft and delicate, hugging a well-balanced filling. The sauce hit that trifecta of sweet, savory, and spicy without overpowering the dumplings themselves. It wasn't aggressive heat, it was more of a slow warmth that builds. Pork XLBs (3.5/5) Solid but slightly smaller than what I'm used to. The wrapper held together nicely, but I did wish there was a bit more broth and filling inside to really give that explosive soup moment. Still enjoyable, just not the star of the table as I hoped it would be Shrimp and Pork Shumai (5/5) This was the sleeper hit. Juicy in the best way. There was so much broth packed into the shumai that it exploded in my mouth. The filling was flavorful, tender, and deeply satisfying. I would come back just for this. Moodles with Minced Pork (3/5) Noodles had a great texture; oft, chewy, and comforting. I just wished the minced pork carried a bit more seasoning or punch to elevate the overall flavor. It felt like it was one step away from being something memorable. Overall, Jia Yan Dumpling House feels like a reliable neighborhood gem. Would definitely come back to work through more of the menu. read more

I had a lovely experience at Jia Yan Dumpling House (Glendora). I ordered the Pork Xiao Long Bao ($13.49 - 10 pcs) and Beef Dumplings ($13.99 - 10pcs). It arrived hot, fresh, filled, and juicy. YUM! I arrived at Jia Yan Dumpling House (Glendora) on Thursday (around 11:36AM). Parking is easy. The lot is big. Staff is professional yet playful. It was funny how Staff became increasingly more friendly and giggly as I took food photos and short food video clips. Still, Staff worked hard. The Pork Xiao Long Bao item took about six minutes. About three minutes later, the Beef Dumplings arrived. As mentioned, I happily devoured the Pork Xiao Long Bao ($13.49 - 10 pcs) and Beef Dumplings ($13.99 - 10pcs). The Pork XLBs (aka: soup dumplings) are hearty, juicy, and satisfying. The Beef Dumplings are fresh, stuffed, and tender. My teeth easily glided through its juicy meat. This meal did not taste salty; rather, it all came fresh and picturesque. I had plenty of leftovers. It's a lot of food! Regarding ambiance, Jia Yan Dumpling House (Glendora) is well-ventilated and clean. It's also spacious with many, many tables. I also appreciated the light music that cheerfully chimed. However, the location felt somewhat old with its stained ceiling and worn down floor. I noticed a couple faint dirty shoe stains along the entrance. Still, the location felt welcoming and comfortable. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Jia Yan Dumpling House (Glendora). The food is fresh and delicious! If craving dumplings, I cheerfully recommend. I left full and happy. 4.8 out of 5 read more

Jia Yan Dumpling House is the place to go if you're craving Ding Tai Fung food but don't want to wait hours to eat. It's in Glendora, has lots of seating, and serves the same food. I visited this place once when it was just opening, and I enjoyed the food then. A year later, I'm returning. I still really like the food! Unquestionably a fantastic place to savor the Beef Stew Noodles and Xiao Long Bao. read more

Via takeout, I tried their Shrimp & Pork Dumplings and Garlic Chicken Wings. The wings could've used more garlic flavoring in my opinion, but were still crispy and tasty. The dumplings were juicy and the perfect umami flavor, would for sure order again. Definitely not one of the best dumpling spots I've tried, but pretty good for the Glendora area. read more

Love this place! It's a nice alternative to DTF and the dumplings are handmade. We have tried the Pork XLB, Shrimp and Pork Shao Mai, Orange Chicken, Sweet and Sour Pork Baby Back Ribs, Pork Chop Fried Rice, Bok Choy with Garlic, Pork Bun, and Chocolate XLB. The dumplings were soft, tender, and had that nice bounce when you bite into them. Everything was seasoned perfectly, and we always fight over the Chocolate XLB because it tastes so divine. We will be back to try more. read more

After a stroll in downtown Glendora, we were looking at restaurants to grab dinner at. We decided to give Jia Yan a try and upon walking into the restaurant, we were greeted right away by the staff. The restaurant was big with a lot of tables, clean as well, and staff was very courteous and friendly. They share a huge parking lot with other businesses, so parking wasn't an issue. We ordered Pork XLB, Noodles w/ Sesame Sauce, Chicken Fried Noodles, and Shrimp Pork Spicy Wontons. Noodles w/ Sesame sauce - Noodles were thin, had a good texture for each bite, and the sauce coated the noodles nicely. The sauce had a little bit of that numbing spiciness, which was a nice. Shrimp Pork Spicy Wontons - The wontons had a good amount of shrimp and pork filling and was cooked perfectly. However, the spicy sauce was lacking in my opinion. It wasn't as spicy as I'm used to when I order this dish at other restaurants and I would add some chili oil on top next time. Pork XLB - The dumplings had a good amount of filling and the wrapper was not thick. However, there wasn't a lot of soup inside the dumpling after taking the first bite and pouring out the soup into the spoon. Also, the dumplings wasn't pipping hot and the temperature was just warm. I will give them a huge plus on bringing out the freshly sliced ginger to go with the xlb. Chicken Fried Noodles - Good amount of sliced chicken and chicken was still moist after the stir fry with the noodles, onions, and cabbage. The noodles again had a good texture for each bite. The flavor was just ok. I would come back and give the other menu items a try. read more

Jia Yan Dumpling House - Noodles with Sesame Sauce - Shanghainese Near Me - Glendora, California

I came here after going to a doctor appointment nearby. It's a nice alternative for Din Tai Fung or Thumbling if you're craving xiao long bao. I came here with my mom since she likes xiao long bao or juicy pork dumplings. We also got their hot and sour soup, seaweed and tofu salad, salt and pepper shrimp, egg fried rice, sauteed green beans, and sauteed cabbage. The hot and sour soup is not my favorite, I would not get it again but the sauteed green beans are crispy with a garlicky taste are good. We would come here just for their xiao long bao. The portion sizes for the dishes are fine for two people for no leftovers, they're around $15 a dish. They have a sister branch in Pomona. The staff is nice and the place is clean. read more

Jia Yan Dumpling House in Glendora was a fantastic meal from start to finish. Everything I tried was delicious, and the service was genuinely impeccable without feeling over the top. The pork XLB was excellent and perfectly cooked, and the hot and sour soup was packed with flavor and very satisfying. It's one of those places where every dish makes you more curious about what else you should have ordered. I'm already looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the menu. read more

This place was amazing!! From the start, service was top notch and food was delicious!!! Wanted to try something different and closer to home with easy parking. They hit everything I was looking for and more. I'd say better than Ding tai at the Arcadia mall. They also have a good lychee ice tea my favorite was the spicy wontons and veggie ones. We will be back for sure read more

We went on a Sunday evening and there was a reasonable amount of people which is a good sign. Service was okay but minimal after our order. We had multiple dumpling dishes which were good but not great. The onion over powered the shrimp and the dumplings were somewhat over cooked. The ones that were fried were cooked in overused oil that left specs all over them and were overly greasy. The menu itself was minimal. Tables were clean but the condiment bottles needed wiped down especially when multiple people are using them. While it is nice to see diversity of restaurants in Glendora we will continue to drive to the SGV or DTF. read more

The food comes out hot and quick. To our tastes, the Xia long bao ( soup dumplings) were not that juicy as others we've had. They also don't offer pan fried dumplings on the menu. However, the beef and noodle soup was very flavorful with chunks of tender beef and very long thin noodles. The garlic chicken wings were also straight from the fryer, hot, crispy and meaty. Service is kind and not rushed. If you order hot tea, they bring it to you in a thermos, which is convenient for refills. read more

I literally just moved into the area and I went to this place because it looks so similar to Din Tai Fung which I frequent... came on a Wednesday night at 6 pm and it was fairly empty! TBH, it taste very similar!!! Soooo similar I probably like this place better since it's closer and I don't have to wait too long. Plus the price point! Tried the black pepper beef filet 7/10 flavorful and good! Hits the meat craving just right Chicken xlb 9/10 sosososo good my favorite out of the meal Beef dumplings 8/10 - juicy and delicious Shrimp pork wonton spicy sauce 9/10 Cucumber salad 9/10 Chicken bun 9/10 The server was so nice, I added a sesame noodle Togo and all of our meal was under 100 bucks I will definitely be back! read more

Great place for fresh food. First time eating here at Jai Yan with friends. Tried several items- dumplings, fried rice, bbq ribs, even the won tong soup. Everything tasted great! Didn't take pictures but will do next time. read more

Been here a few times. The place is getting better with the decorations and pictures. But since it has no effect on the food, it's fine. The servers are quick and attentive. The food is really tasty. The soup dumplings are good and in comparison to din tai fung, the same. The rest of the dishes are delicious too. The garlic vegetables are all good. They don't really have desserts but since I'm so full, it's fine. Definitely go here to save money but know the dishes are all worth it! read more

Jia Yan is still solid! The prices have changed a bit since last year but the fact that we can get an our fix of XLBs without having to drive too far out is great for us. The XLB prices and other items has understandably gone up a few dollars, but the quality and quick service is still there. It's still low key hidden gem in the city but I notice there's more and more customers dining each time we come. Which I'm happy for them to get more loyal customers. Jia Yan is our other go to spot outside of Din Tai Fung for Pork XLBs, red bean buns and the chocolate XLBs and simply because we know the wait times are usually not long. Highly recommend! read more

I came back again and realized why it's been a while since I've been back. The portion size here is too small. Ordering 5 dishes for a family of 4 and everyone is still hungry. As a Chinese person that eats this type of food frequently their portion size is about 2/3 the size of other places. Noodle dishes are more like appetizers. Also they lack dish variety to be eaten with rice. I really want to like this place to support more Asian options in Glendora but the portion size is just way too small. I will say their xlb skin is very nice. The meat and soup in the xlb could use a little more depth. read more

So, i wanted to try a new place with my husband and my best friend for her bday. This place popped up and thought why not!? It was amazing. We got the shrimp and pork spicy dumpling (10/10), pork soup dumpling (10/10), shrimp and sticky rice dumpling (10/10), shrimp fried rice (10/10), sesame noodle (10/10), garlic green beans (8/10) and pork ribs (6/10). It's a small place. We got there around noon and were seated right away. Got our drink order in (keep in mind they are cans only for sodas). Our food came out promptly. Everything was hot and sooo good! We will be visiting again and next time not forgetting to order the chocolate dumplings! Soooo good! read more

We initially came once this place opened and we were so happy we were able to find a legit dumpling place practically walking distance from our place . We enjoyed the pork ribs, xiao long bao , green beans and rice cakes thoroughly as the taste and value were on point- similar to the more popular dumpling establishments a few cities over. Situated in a strip mall with ample parking, inside decor was sparse, but there's a large dining area with several tables so waiting times on a weekend was very short if any . We've been about 3 times since their opening and were happy to see they were getting a consistent flow of customers while we dined . Now our most recent visit fell short - to the point we have to rethink where we decide to dine for our dumpling needs. I'm not 100% sure if the portion size decreased but the prices have definitely surged. For a noodle portion that only feeds about 2 people , the price is definitely way too expensive at about $14.50 . When we eat out , the two of us usually have left overs to last a day or two and with these portions , we had none . We got the pork ribs appetizer (about 6 bite sized pieces for $11.50 , an order of the pork xiao long bao $13.50 and the noodle dish . We wanted to get the green beans but decided against it because of the $15 price tag. I really hope this places lasts but at their prices it's no longer worth it to us anymore. The convenience is nice but these days , since dining out in general is expensive , we'd rather travel to neighboring cities to get a better value for our money. read more

First time here and this place has officially been added to my "places to eat" list. I live 10 minutes from here and it's such a great alternative to Din Tai Fung or Thumpling. We ordered a whole bunch of items from the menu and everything was great. Must orders have to be the seaweed salad, string bean, steamed pork dumplings, rice shumai, rice cake, and spicy wonton. Don't come for me but I think the spicy wontons here are better than Din Tai Fungs!! Service was very tentative and nice. They greeted and seated us right away. All the servers were very nice. I will definitely be back and will be recommending this place to all my friends and family. read more

I can see a new phenomenon warming. The dumplings are absolutely delicious. The chicken and pork and the spicy chicken and pork dumplings are absolutely filling and wonderful. I enjoyed the spring rolls too and dipped it with the sauce. I'm almost glad that I didn't stay longer. I would've eaten everything. I found the price is very reasonable in the menu has a lot of different options so they offer a lot more than just dumplings. Well worth the stop. read more

Food was decent enough I guess, but not worth the price in my opinion. And service was really horrible during my visit. Definitely will not be returning. read more

The food is good, but I'm giving only one star because the take-out staff was quite unreasonable. My husband ordered three noodle soups and a string bean dish, and I went to pick it up. I gave the cashier my phone number, showed her the text message confirming the order, and told her exactly what my husband had ordered. She insisted there was another item in the order. When I couldn't tell her what that extra item was, she seemed to doubt the order was mine--even though it had already been fully paid--and I felt like she was refusing to give me the food. I called my husband, and he confirmed that the order was exactly what I had told her. The staff member kept insisting there was one more item but wouldn't tell me what it was at first. After going back and forth for a while, she finally said there was an extra order of plain noodles. I checked again with my husband, and he said yes, he had ordered extra noodles for one of the noodle soup. But that "extra noodles" was listed under the options section of the noodle on menu, like extra beef, extra this and extra that for additional charge. Who would think of that as a separate dish? Because of that confusion, she almost refused to give me the order after I told her my phone number, my confirmation text. Honestly, it was absolutely ridiculous. read more

Incredible place with amazing food and honestly very similar to din tai fung but more affordable. Tried most of the menu and the soup dumplings, spicy noodles and spicy wontons were some of my favorites. The chocolate xlb was also amazing and I truly wanted to get a second order and could not stop thinking about them. The service was alright and it's very bright in there but overall a great food experience. read more

Dumpling house suddenly appeared after my favorite pho place closed some months ago. My daughter loves dumplings, so I'm in to try anything local that doesn't have a line. I would start with a pot of tea. So good. I finished one all by myself. My favorite time is the spicy wonton. Also a must try also the Pork XLB. I could not stop eating these with the chili oil that is in the table. The only item I wasn't a fan of was the beef dumplings. Everything else was really good. On my first visit I forgot my credit card. They were kind enough to hold it and ask for my DL when I picked it up days later. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. I ordered the Black Pepper Beef Filet after confirming it's like steak bites. When it came out, I tried a small piece and it tasted like liver. I quickly let the server, Cici, know that this isn't good and if I could please get a refund or a replacement as I hate liver and can't eat it. The server, Cici, took the plate and then came back and said there's nothing they can do. They won't comp any part of my meal or replace any item. I had to pay $20 for a plate that I didn't eat, that they threw away. I asked to speak to a manager and the server, Cici, said they're busy. I asked what's the name of the manager, and as a worker at this establishment, Cici said she didn't know. Overall the worse experience I've had at a place and also terrible customer service and hospitality. read more

I love Xiao long bao, there's not much better than Ding Tai Fung, other than the long waits and crowds but when there's an option to check out another establishment that does xlb and give DTF a run for its money, I had to check it out. We had the pork xlb; excellent, thin skinned and flavorful broth, shrimp pork spicy wonton, shrimp and pork pot stickers, and Shanghai rice cake with pork, and vegetarian dumplings. Overall, Jia Yan had excellent xlb and dumplings, rivaling DTF, the Shanghai rice cake with awesome, large portions and I think even better than DTF's. The restaurant is located in a small strip mall area with plenty of parking. Glad to be be able to check out another great dumpling eats. Well done! read more

Jia Yan Dumpling House is a pretty solid choice if you're craving dumplings and happen to be in Glendora. Being in the SGV, there's definitely no shortage of dumpling spots around, but this place covers the basics: pork XLB, garlic string beans, fried rice, noodles, and a few other classics. My family and I went for lunch on a Saturday, and it was actually pretty quiet, just a couple of other tables were occupied. Service was super quick and friendly, and our food came out in less than 10 minutes, which was nice. Overall, everything tasted good. A few dishes were on the saltier side, but honestly, I'd rather that than something bland. It's tucked away in a random shopping center, but at least parking isn't a headache. read more

We had a party of 8 and as soon as we arrived we were promptly seated. There was a good amount of choices to choose from. We ordered soup dumplings, spicy wontons, beef udon noodles, stir fried beef, vegetable dumplings, pork and shrimp dumplings, garlic green beans, broccoli stir fried, beef noodle soup, and pork chop fried rice. The food was delicious but the portions were too small. The beef was a bit chewy as well. If you go be prepared to order more than usual. read more

Not impressed. Got the mushroom fried rice and it had slivers of mushroom so small it did not require chewing. Very small portions. If you want to get full order protein. The dumplings were good. Couldn't tell if they were frozen or not. Nothing to write home about. Better off in San Gabriel Valley for bigger portions and lower prices. Two of us was 60 plus dollars. We left hungry. read more
