I accidentally ended up here instead of a different dumpling house but just like me, it was a happy mistake. I ended up coming really close to closing time but the service was still fast. Food was HOT & of course made to order. I did burn my tongue.... But it's okay I had a cold Thai tea to help suppress that burn. Thai tea 4/5 -- on the sweeter side for me. But still carries that robust Thai flavor to it. Spicy chicken 5/5 -- huge kick to it. Looks innocent... is deadly. I loved the spiciness. I'm all about spice so this was really nice to try. Shrimp fried rice 5/5 -- I can't believe a shrimp fried this rice... it's splendid. Uh-mah-zing. We love her. Perfect shrimp to rice ratio. Not too salty. Perfect amount of umami 12pc shrimp dumplings-- 4/5 oooo they were HOT. Flavor could be improved a bit, but otherwise texture and quality was delightful. Parking is in the plaza. It's a small place maybe 10 tables max? They have a single use restroom as well. read more

We love trying different dumpling restaurants so we came here to eat! The staff was very nice and attentive. Seems like a small family business. This place has only 8 tables so either you come on a good day when its empty which we did but it can get filled up quickly due to a large party or families. We ordered the cucumber salad appetizer...pan fried nappa pork dumplings and pork scallion buns.....and They had nooooo FLAVOR. The cucumber salad was diced to oblivion ..we might as well have gotten spoons instead of chopsticks....no spice just drenched in water and soy sauce....no garlic...no szechuan pepper oil. The dumpling and buns had no flavors....no ginger...no seasonings... my wife had to put SALT IN THE CUCUMBERS! ....yes!.... SALT!.... Parking was plenty... read more

We ordered kung pao chicken and beef with broccoli. The chicken was so spicy we could barely eat it. We had to use a lot of rice.... Which they don't include. The rice was mushy. How can you mess that up? The portions were small for the price as well. We won't be going back because the food was mediocre and very expensive. read more

Got it on GrubHub so it does not get a full 5 star, but please listen with a grain of salt. The dumplings were great, especially the variety. The wrapper was a little thick but still the filling was good and meaty. They did not skimp out on the meat. Hot and sour soup was okay, could be more spicy. Definitely a contender for good dumplings, but does not keep that well. Best eaten the day of! read more

We wish we knew about this spot earlier. The restaurant is smaller with indoor seating and they also do takeout orders via third party apps. We liked all the dishes that we ordered, but the Fried Fish Sautéed in Garlic was the table's favorite. It's fried to perfection and is a flakey white fish. The Mapo Tofu is heavy on the ginger flavor and not too spicy. The dumplings do have a thicker wrapping, but it is so juicy that I feel like it's mandatory. The green beans do have a little spice to it, but it's a great veggie dish. The workers are all so friendly and nice, good spot for family style meals! ig: @cravingswithcat read more

Gotta show this cozy mom & pop shop some love. Small store, BIG flavors! This place is well known for the pan-fried dumplings. They're all great, but I will say my favorite filling is the pork and napa cabbage. Even if you get 6pcs, each dumpling is huge and generously stuffed. I've never had any issues with the service. It's certainly superb for a local business. Staff takes the time to check in on your table multiple times even after you've received your food to make sure all is well and that your drink cups are full. Other menu standouts: - Fried Fish Fillet appetizer (lots of pieces for the price) - Hot & Sour Soup + Chicken w/corn egg drop soup (I adore both of these and tend to order them when I'm sick to soothe my soul) - Mongolian Beef (perfectly spicy + meat is tender, but I wish there was a more beef than onion. Also would like to see a touch more green onions sprinkled in) Lastly, the parking lot is a bit cramped. I've always been able to find a spot, but it largely depends what time you stop by. read more

Jiayuan Dumpling House - Menu as of January 2026 - Szechuan Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

See all

Jiayuan Dumpling House in Torrance is a small spot with good food and great customer service. I'm not sure if our waiter was the owner, but he was very kind, attentive, and made great recommendations. We tried the chicken and corn dumplings and they were good. We chose those over the beef dumplings because the waiter mentioned the beef filling has changed to beef and celery instead of carrot and onion. I'm not a fan of celery so we'll try it next time! We also ordered the Kung Pao chicken since it's my favorite dish at most Asian restaurants, but I'd skip this one here as it was too salty and the water chestnuts tasted off, reason I won't give it a perfect score. The standout dish was the chow fun, which we ordered based on the waiter's recommendation. It was the best dish we had and one of the best I've had in a while. Prices are reasonable, the place is small (larger parties would be a tight fit), and I'd definitely come back again!! read more

I've heard a couple of great reviews about this place so I decided to give it a whirl. It's good but it's not amazing. We ordered the following: Orange chicken: it's made with chicken breast and you can actually taste the chicken as opposed to some of the other places where all you can taste is the breading. You can taste the chicken"orange"!in the orange chicken. However the overall texture was not amazing. Still I'll give it a 3.5 Pork and Napa dumplings: it's a dumpling house so yes these are good. I still think dtf is better though. 3.5 stars Scallion pancake: mediocre. I wouldn't order this again. Lacked flavor and flakiness. 2.5 stars Thai Tea: I don't have a photo of this but it was decent. Not a lot of Asian places will offer free refills let alone Thai Iced Tea, yet this place does. 4 stars The customer service is polite but not very attentive. It's also a small location. Considering the area, I see why people like this place though. I'd go back but I'll probably order something different to try. read more

Good dumplings, good price, good delivery food option In cali for a vacation, and looked for some lunch. Yelp has this place as a local hidden gem, so me and the missus ordered some dumplings to try. Delivery took about an hour. No cutlery provided, but the food was hot even after a lengthy transport. Took a pic from the pool then dug in. The dumplings had a nice thin wrapper and the juices from the cooked meats made them similar to soup dumplings. The pork and nappa were tasty but greasy. Pork was seasoned with aromatic spices which complimented the earthy nappa cabbage. The chicken and corn was heavily corny, which was slightly sweet but not the freshest. The chicken got lost, but there was still flavor. The beef and scallion was the weakest bite, very tender, just lacking flavor. Really needed the sauce to make it shine. Price was very reasonable for the portions, quality was there, and they make a pretty good dumpling. This place is a good choice for those traveling and want something delivered. read more

Jiayuan Dumpling House - Szechuan Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Located in the strip mall, next door to Fed Express with a shared parking lot. Very nice and accommodating couple running the counter. Nice indoor dining area with a few chairs for to go orders. I ordered the pumpkin patties, shrimp, chicken & carrots dumplings, pork & Napa dumplings and the scallion pancake. I was told the #1 dumpling is pork & Napa and #2 is shrimp, chicken & carrot. I ordered my food to go to share with the family. The dumplings were a good size and stuffed well. The shrimp in the combo dumpling were the tiny shrimp and I assumed it would be minced shrimp incorporated into the meat mixture. I could see not taste any carrots. Pork & Napa dumplings were ok. Pumpkin patties has a mochi texture, similar to the fried sesame balls but no filling and no sesame seeds. They were fried and I think would have been better with a stuffing like Ham Siu Gok (Chinese. IYKYK). Scallion pancake was thick and didn't have a lot of scallions. I heated them up when I got home to get them more crispy. The order came with a vinegar/soy sauce and a sweet chili dipping sauce. Small portion of sauces with the size of the order. Thanks for the hospitality. Perhaps next time I will try any of the other items. Ok, bye. read more

Friendly service and good portions of authentic food. The dumplings were tasty, although my personal preference would have been for a crisper skin at the bottom. Singapore noodles were loaded with mix-ins and a little heavy on the curry powder side but I'll take that any day versus bland food. We were promptly attended to and never felt rushed during our dine-in meal with some friends. read more

I had had this place bookmarked for a while now and finally decided to try it out. We ordered delivery so I can't speak to the vibe or service of the restaurant. We did, however, order a variety of things from the menu. Mapo tofu with minced pork: extremely oily but tasty Pork and napa cabbage dumplings: disappointed in lack of flavor, tasted completely unsalted. Veggie dumplings: lacked flavor Orange chicken: heavily breaded and chicken inside was a bit stringy. House stir-fry noodles: a bit oily, most of the noodles were broken and it felt like it was 50% cabbage and 50% noodles. Scallion pancakes: literally zero flavor. Zero. Overall, pretty disappointing. Especially because a lot of the oil dripped into the delivery bag and made a mess. We didn't finish anything and it kinda felt like a waste of calories. I'm glad we tried it but won't be ordering again. read more

Ordered from opentable. Got the beef chow fun and scallion pancake. The beef chow fun was very good. It had a good amount of beef and the noodles were cooked perfectly and flavorful. Not many places have chow fun so I appreciated that. The scallop pancake was a bit thicker than what I'm used to. read more

Classic sit down Szechuan style Chinese where the crispy dumplings are plentiful and proteins are nicely doused in Red40. Love this Beijing Beef style sweet and sour with the perfect crunch of the cream cheese wontons. Was surprised that the noodles were so flavorful! Usually they're hit or miss and mostly used to absorb other flavors. read more

Tried this place a couple of times. The first time was delivery and the 2nd time I dined in. There's plenty of parking in the shopping plaza and the restaurant is decent sized. The only minor issue I have is that they close at 9pm (8:30pm Sunday) which is quit early especially on weekends. But it's family owned so no complaints. I've tried the dumplings and veggie fried noodles and both are pretty good. The food is greasy and oily and quit tasty so you can't go wrong with it. What shocked me was when I dined in and saw that they have thai ice tea for $2.69 and it's free refill 0~0 wow that's an amazing deal!!! Everything else felt a bit marked up but it's probably the area I'm in. Service is great and it's close by so I'll be back again :) read more

This is the go-to spot for pan fried dumplings. Honest, as an Asian lol one of the best places I've had (must eat there so it's super crispy). Family owned restaurant, super nice people/good service. read more

We have driven by the restaurants hundreds of times, however, always after meals or in a hurry. So today we decided to try it for the first time. It is located in a small plaza with adequate parking space. Inside is bright and clean, with seating for around 20 people. The server/owner was very friendly and we got seated right away. The menu was simple, clear and easy to order. We ordered the following dishes: Pork Dumpling: they were kind of bite sized and fit nicely in a spoon, the outer wraps were perfectly pan-fried, not too hard or mushy, and the bottoms not burnt. The fillings were nicely seasoned. Beef Noodle Soup: the broth was lighter than the traditional Chinese beef noodle broth, not bland just lighter, it was still flavorful. It was also not as spicy. The handmade noodles, with their perfectly imperfect shapes, were evenly cooked and slightly al dente. The slow simmered meat were tender and captured the flavor from the broth. Won Ton Soup with Side Order of Noodle: the wraps were soft but not soggy. The bits of shrimp inside of the fillings gave them a very nice consistency. The broth was also on the light side with hint of sesame oil. Quite delightful. Overall, a nice restaurant for a relaxing lunch or dinner. Will stop by again very soon for sure. read more

The good: I will definitely be back to this authentic and comforting restaurant! I got the chicken with snow peas, carrots, and water chestnut and it was delicious. My super picky toddler ate so much of it. It tasted unique, light and comforting. It wasn't overly dressed in sauce and had great garlic flavor. We also had two different kinds of pan fried dumplings. My other toddler and I both enjoyed the deep fried eggplant with chicken stuffed inside. It was like tempura. It was delicious and I've never seen such a dish before. The eggplant was super thin and the chicken was soft and ground up. There were many delicious options to choose from. The workers were friendly and it seemed like a family operated business. The plaza is small but there are enough parking spots. The bad: The restaurant is small and there's only indoor seating. Most tables are for 4 people but they could squeeze some together to accommodate a larger group. For some reason when we came there were 3 other tables with toddlers other than ours so the booster seat wasn't available until partway through our meal. I'm unsure if high chairs are available. My husband wanted steamed or boiled dumplings but they only had pan fried ones other than the wontons in soup. The interesting: The bathroom was larger than I expected given the small size of the restaurant. We got guava hard candies at the end of the meal. read more

Jiayuan Dumpling House - Snow Peas with Chicken - Szechuan Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

This place is 900 ft from my dogs' vet and I didn't want to drive anymore. My day was incredibly stressful because my doggie was having a bad day :( I just wanted to sit quietly, have some tea and scroll my social media. I was greeted nicely and the restaurant was nice and clean with ample strip mall parking. I have been to both Japan and Korea, but not China , so I don't know what scallion pancakes are supposed to taste like. They arrived nice and hot and cut into little quesadilla triangles. Pretty void of flavor and very few scallions. They were light and airy. Same with the orange chicken: void of flavor and it doesn't come with rice. Scallion pancakes, orange chicken and tea came to $30. Not likely to return. read more

Fast service, nice workers (owners?), and food was relatively fast and was told the dumpling takes about 15 minutes - so they were very transparent. Food wasn't that great. It was not bad, but not something I'll crave. Portions were decent, but that might have been the highlight. It was good to have parking, they had quite a few tables, and it wasn't terribly expensive. Most likely, I won't come back. read more

I've been here a few times for takeout only and it's pretty tasty. I've tried the pork and napa cabbage dumplings and the pork, shitake, and green bean dumplings. They were hot, fresh and made to order. The sauces were good too. There aren't many dumpling places in the area so when I'm craving dumplings and don't want to deal with the long wait at din tai fung, this is a great place and it's family run. read more

I love how they can accommodate to allergies and I went with some of the top dishes orange chicken and corn chicken soup egg drop.

Very sweet and nice on the phone! Person I know who picked it up said they offered samples. read more

I went in on Tuesday night 11/11. The customer service was incredible right away we were sat down by a kind older gentleman. We got Mongolian beef with a side of white rice. The portions were a good size to share with 2 people. The flavor was amazing and the Mongolian beef has a good spice (which we were told about before we ordered) 10/10. The pork and Napa dumplings lacked on flavor and the dough used seed thick 8/10. Overall I will be back to try out more of the dinner plates! read more

An absolute South Bay gem! Discovered this place a few years ago and the food is amazing, and owned by the sweetest family. They have a great assortment of food, from dumplings to noodle dishes and beyond. This is one of the spots I go to with my run crew and we always have an amazing meal. Some dishes are on the spicier side, but can be adjusted upon request. A couple of the dishes we order regularly: The pumpkin patty, which has an almost mochi-like texture Chicken and corn dumplings Tasty spicy chicken Poached fish with tofu Don't sleep on this local gem! read more

A couple weeks ago, we went to a meetup at the beach nearby in the morning that ended around noon, so like any good Yelper going to a new neighborhood around lunch time, I looked for someplace interesting for lunch. When I saw they had Singapore-style curry noodles as well as highly-rated dumplings, I was very much on board (I've been chasing Singapore-style noodles as good as the street food I had in Singapore in literally elementary school, it was that good.) I will say, service was great. I was also surprised to discover the tea-drinks, including Thai tea, were not only quite reasonably priced, but free refills as well, and they kept filling my glass! Solid Thai tea, too. Food came out exactly as quickly as you'd expect (the dumplings took a little longer, as advertised - they're definitely made fresh - indeed, they arrived steaming hot.) Anyway, as far as food, the Singapore noodles were great. Still wasn't as good as the first and best Singapore-style noodle dish I had when I was like 8 from a street vendor in Singapore, but it's also a lot closer than Singapore. (Though funny enough, I also I just learned today, despite the name, it's actually a dish from Hong Kong that isn't all that popular in Singapore, even if that was the first place I ate it.) Plenty of meat and shrimp and veggies, great noodles, great flavor. I think they only make this at lunch, so it's good that that's when we were there! The dumplings they're so known for that they put it in the name of the restaurant, though... were just ok (the pork and Napa cabbage ones, stated to be their best seller). My wife said she'd give it 3 stars, but this isn't her review. The filling was great, and you could tell they make them fresh to order. I agreed with her, though, that they arrived just way too oily. (Then again, I also put hot sauce on everything, or in this case chili oil, on everything, while my wife isn't a fan of peppers.) Anyway, I'd say they were decent, but a bit doughy and more than a bit oily. Definitely not the best dumplings I've had, so while I could see coming back if I were in the area (the Singapore noodles were great, they do have a wide variety of other food, and free refills on Thai tea is a draw for sure), I probably wouldn't get dumplings here again. read more

When I saw this place opened up down the street from my job I was stoked. I love dumplings! But my coworkers & I went to lunch here on a Friday once and the food just wasn't that great. We went with someone who can be a bit picky so we didn't end up ordering dumplings even though they're known for that. Although my friend brought me some one day take-out, he got them around 3p and while they were good, they weren't the best. I will say maybe I have to eat inside for the dumplings and give it another try! read more

Been searching for a great Chinese place and decided to check this place out. Located in a small strip 'mall' on PCH and Prospect with limited tables to dine in. We ordered the chicken pan fried noodles, sweet & sour pork and the pork & Napa cabbage dumplings. The dumplings were bland and lacked flavor, definitely had to dip it in the vinegar soy sauce. Not sure why the noodle wrap of the dumpling was green in color, while other pictures of the same were white. We asked our server and he said it's because it's a spinach noodle wrap. The pan fried noodles had a sweet taste to it rather than savory which was unexpected. Adding hot chili oil helped it out a bit. The best dish was the sweet and sour pork. Fortunately we got there a little after 6 since while we were eating, the place was packed. The search for a great Chinese place in the South Bay continues. read more

I enjoyed the food!! Tried 2 types of dumplings and thought the shells seemed a little thicker than I'm used to. I preferred the pork one over the chicken and shrimp one.

It's a small restaurant but the tables seemed to turn over quickly. read more
