OMG I need one in Arizona!! QUEEN CREEK specifically! This place was soo beyond good. I ordered a lot with my family and everything came out so quickly! The service was on top of being things out and taking finished plates, refills, and everything was hot. The restaurant itself self had great music new and old. I enjoyed it so much and so sad there's not one near me read more

Food is so yummy! We had the xiao long bao, pork ribs, and fried rice and everything hit the spot. If you like Din Tai Fung but don't feel like dealing with the long wait, definitely give this place a try! Not going to lie, part of me likes that it's still pretty low key but I won't gatekeep. I'm pretty sure you'll be happy with the convenience AND the yummy food. Definitely one of those spots we'll be coming back to! read more

juicy dumpling factory is seriously such a good din tai fung dupe everything we ordered was sooo flavorful and comforting!! the beef rolls were definitely my FAV. super crispy and crunchy on the outside with such a savory filling. i would honestly come back just for these the garlic noodles were so fragrant, garlicky, buttery, and perfectly chewy. you also HAVE to order the mapo tofuuu!!! the flavors just hit different so rich, savory, a little spicy, and sooo good with rice. the sweet and sour spare ribs had the perfect balance of sweet and tangy, and the fried rice was yummy, simple, and comforting we also tried their new corn cheese with shrimp and it was such an interesting combo!! super creamy and cheesy, so if you love cheesy stuff you'll definitely enjoy this one all of their flavored teas are really good too, but the strawberry yogurt drink was my favorite it's creamy, refreshing, and not too heavy. such a good spot when you're craving some comfort food without the din tai fung wait. definitely coming back for the beef rolls and mapo tofu read more

Food was pretty good! I'd say it isn't quite up to par with Din Tai Fung flavor wise but it definitely hits the same craving and I could see myself returning here more frequently as opposed to Din Tai Fung purely because the service is much better. Our server was quick to take our order, the food came out fast and fresh. The broccoli beef was one of our favorites, followed by the chive shrimp and pork dumplings. read more

This place is great! Seems like all the dishes are seasoned well, everything I ordered was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. I might like this place more than din tai fung. Everyone was polite and quick to get our orders . It's a tight fit inside the restaurant but doable. I'll be back for those green beans definitely the highlight of the meal. read more

Came here for lunch with coworkers and had a great experience. We arrived around 11:50am when the restaurant was still pretty quiet with only a couple of other parties, but by 12:30pm it had filled up quickly. The restaurant is a decent size with simple, casual decor. We ordered several dishes to share: Cold clear noodles Orange chicken Dry-fried string beans Juicy pork dumplings Pork & cabbage pan-fried dumplings Pork pot stickers Spicy pork wontons Beef roll Dan Dan noodles The food came out fast, and everything was delicious. My favorites were the cold noodles, orange chicken, and spicy wontons. Portions were generous and very filling. Looking forward to coming back and trying more items from the menu! read more

I've eaten here a lot. I live just down the street. I soup dumplings aren't bad but it's the golden soup noodle that I get. It's awesome. Super, super tasty. But it's also spicy! Hot and spicy! So be warned! read more

I heard there was a DTF dupe right down the street, so obviously I had to investigate. Zero wait on a Friday night? Immediate green flag. Was it a dupe? Absolutely not. Was it a solid alternative? Sure... but let's not get delusional. It's not Din Tai Fung. The vibe is much strip mall energy. Yes, there are servers. Yes, you sit down. But it still feels like casual dining with a slight glow-up. Can we collectively stop calling everything a "dupe" just because it exists in the same category? Words mean things. If DTF is the eldest golden child who grew up to be the hotshot doctor every Asian mom brags about, Juicy Dumpling Factory is the baby of the family who became a successful mechanical engineer. Still impressive. Still making the family proud. But let's be real... the eldest is still carrying the family name. Will I go again? Yes. It was good. Cheaper. Faster. Tasty. Will I tell people to go here instead? Sure... as long as they've never been to DTF. read more

This spot is a hit! I've had it in my sights for a while but just haven't made the time to visit. While out and about I was trying to think of something to eat and this came up as a suggestion. Glad it did! Stopped in and the place was almost full around 2:30pm. I got the juicy pork dumplings, prime beef chow mein, beef rolls, and the orange chicken because I saw some reviews where people raved about it. All of it was good! Great even! It came out pretty quickly as well! I thought about dining in cause it's a casual lil spot with good music playing but I took it to go instead. The staff were super friendly! Will definitely be back! read more

We absolutely love, juicy dumpling factory, not only for the delicious food and juicy pork dumpling, but their service is really quite amazing and attentive. The restaurant is on the smaller side so there can often be a little bit of a wait but it's completely worth it. I think we have tried every single dish on the menu and we have our favorites such as the beef, fried rice, string beans, dumplings. I would say it is comparable to Din Tai Fung and they have a lot of similar menu items but for less! You can ask for extra Ginger, which I always do! We always seem to have leftovers because the portions are very generous. Sometimes they have their waitlist activated on Yelp so you can join that and avoid the wait. read more

The dumplings here are good, but I'm here for the noodles! I came here a couple months ago with a group and got to have a taste of the golden beef noodle soup. I was thinking about it recently and had to go back to get my own bowl. I like that the spice comes from fresh chilies since it tastes clean and refreshing. The sliced beef is soft and the noodles were cooked to a perfect al dente. They give a decent amount of bok choy and cilantro too. We also like getting the crispy chili chicken. Easy parking and efficient service. read more

Came here for lunch today and this place didn't disappoint. Staff were friendly, quick, and helpful. We were greeted and offered a seat right away. Not too bad for a Saturday afternoon. This restaurant is small, so I can see there being a wait time if it gets busy. Ambience is nice, modern, and clean. We ordered the juicy dumpling, Dan Dan noodles, spicy wonton, and cilantro chives dumplings (no soup). The price points were average, our total bill was $62 (including tip). Portion sizes are decent for sharing. Food is flavorful and come with sauces that isn't too heavy. Overall great experience and we'll definitely be back. Thank you for the hospitality, Juicy Dumpling Factory! read more

Just as good as the first time I went. The service is really good with the wait staff passing by often to see if anything is needed. Ordered the staples but tried a Bok choy dish this time. The Bok choy is a clear garlic stir fry, very light on the taste and not having the typical corn starch thickened sauce. The place is small and you have to put your name on the wait list. One tip is to ask for a table away from the front door. There's too many people that pass and if anyone opens the front door there is a strong current of air that rushes in. read more

I was able to sit immediately, since there was an open table. The server came to take my order fairly quickly, and my food also came out quickly. There was no follow up to ask how I was doing or anything until last call. The food tasted good, but the service felt like a glorified fast food restaurant. The staff needs to be more on the ball, as I saw tables with guests and their plates stacked up, and there was minimal pre-bussing. "Do you want me to throw in another order?" Is that how you communicate with guests? read more

I have seen this place all over TikTok so I had to come and give it a try. The restaurant itself is pretty small but we got seated right away. Our waitress wasn't really paying attention at our table, I understand it was busy but she wouldn't swing by to check up on us. The food on the other hand was okay. It wasn't bad but wasn't great either lacked flavor in my opinion. read more

So much yum! The spot: The restaurant has easy parking. Inside is small so expect a little wait. Takeout is a great option! The service: fantastic! Everyone is kind and helpful. The food: my favorites are the juicy chicken dumplings. I love the texture and filling. I also really enjoy the orange chicken. It's super flavorful without feeling heavy and overly fried. A must order is the string beans! I could order just these and be happy - they're that good. The chow mein noodles are also fantastic! Prices are higher than I usually opt for but it's totally worth it! read more

I can't believe I almost forgot about this place! Glad I didn't though, we had cravings for dumplings and it definitely hit the spot. Everything we ordered was fantastic. I feel like you can't really go wrong no matter what you order. We tried the pork, chives and shrimp dumplings pan fried, and oh my, that was delicious! The cucumber salad was heavy on the garlic and sesame oil, but we like it that way. The service is a little impersonal, but with food this good, is it bad that I don't really care ? Just gimme those dumplings! read more

We saw this place recommended on tiktok as a din tai fung dupe and had to try it! The restaurant was extremely busy so I definitely recommend joining the waitlist ahead of time, especially if you have a larger party. We ordered the cucumber salad, dry fried string bean, dan dan noodles, pork dumplings, and spicy pork wontons. The cucumber salad is similar to dtf's but slightly with slightly more vinegar and spice. It was extremely refreshing and we preferred this one because it was more flavorful. The dry fried string beans were delicious and had a nice crunch. The dan dan noodles were alright, but the noodle texture stood out more compared to the flavor. It was a bit too oily for us which is normal for dan dan noodles, but it was nicely cooked to al dente. The juicy pork dumplings and spicy wontons were both juicy and absolutely stuffed. They were both much larger than dtf's, but I'm not sure if they were similar in taste. The servers were attentive despite the restaurant being busy and the restaurant was clean. Overall, it isn't an exact dupe, but for the price point you get an amazing, well-balanced meal. I'd definitely recommend giving them a try. read more

Pan fried pork and corn dumplings were so good, super crispy skirt and nicely filled. The string beans well seasoned and great! The orange chicken wasn't bad, though the sauce was a bit too tart for my preference. The Dan Dan noodles, however, were different from what I had expected. There was little to no peanut flavor and more of szechuan style numbing spice. It didn't taste like the traditional Dan Dan dish to me. Overall I loved that everything came out quickly and piping hot. read more

Came after waiting for the hype to die down and thankfully with no wait our party of two was easily seated. Overall, it was a sort of underwhelming experience. The big deal was that it was next din tai fung dupe, but we quickly learned that the taste is much different. While everything was not as oily and felt much more like natural flavoring, I can't say it was something I'd go out of my way for or highly recommend. It's quality Chinese food but didn't exactly live up to the hype that was promised. read more

This place always hits the spot for comfort food. The beef noodle soup is perfect and comforting. It's also a pretty good size. Spicy dumplings are solid, just wish it came with more of that sauce! We had the beef roll which is also super tasty. I'll need to come back for more dumplings but the servings are pretty hefty. I guess I just need to keep coming back to try more stuff... darn. read more

Wow! What a delight in the South Bay. One of the few authentic dumpling restaurants in the area other than the infamous Ding Tai Fung. We ordered: XLB, pork ribs, string beans, beef noodle soup, cold cucumber salad, and beef roll. The XLB was the least tasty, though still good for the area. Everything else was 10/10 in terms of flavor. My favorite was the beef roll - by far the best one I've had in a long time. It was well seasoned and balanced with a bit of sweet sauce, and filled with super fresh aromatic and ingredients. Really happy to have this gem in the neighborhood. read more

Juicy Dumpling Factory - Our spread - Chinese Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

XLB here is GREAT. Soup, meat: perfectly seasoned. Wrapper: delicious, chewy, and doesn't tear! I ordered pickup here - to preface, I'd NEVER recommend ordering xlb anywhere as takeout but I was craving it close to closing time. It held up SO well compared to other places that offer XLB for pickup. I ordered a second time at Cypress to hope it wasn't a fluke (and also bc it was genuinely good), and it wasn't! What this small chain does - that SO many don't do especially for takeout - is that here, they thoughtfully ensure the broth isn't super piping hot. Because of this, the wrapper remains chewy + when you bite into it, the soup is there instead of being completely wet and soaked up by the wrapper. Other notes: For takeout at both locations, they only give you chopsticks, napkins and vinegar - so remember to ask for chili oil & ginger if you expect those! read more

Honestly, pretty mid but gets the job done (if the job was to eat DTF on a budget). You definitely get what you pay for. Coming from the 626, I've had my fair share of xlb, beef rolls, and sesame noodles. Xlb was ok. Nice flavors but cold inside and mushy. Sesame cold noodles were packed with cucumbers, and that's all you can taste, the sauce was heavy with sesame and nothing else. Spicy pork dumpling was not spicy at all and similar to the xlb, it was mushy. We also got the potato shrimp which is served with a side of sweet chili. Not much flavor there either unless you dip it in the sweet chili (we found a dead bug in ours but that's besides the point). The best items were the garlic pork short rib and the beef rolls. I will admit that the beef rolls do need more sauce on the inside and the scallion pancake wrap on the outside also lacked flavor. Fried rice was okay. Edible, no complaints. Wouldn't expect fried rice to be too difficult to make. Ended the meal with the pineapple jelly bun (ran out of custard). There was no filling, only bread. Again, you get what you pay for. It's definitely on the cheaper side, but at the expense of quality. I wouldn't actively make my way out here to have a meal, but if I was absolutely starving and this restaurant happened to be the closest one, I may reluctantly walk in. They are located inside a plaza with ample parking. read more

I've been here once before and it's JUST "meh"... thought I should give them one last try because they were new in 2024. Well, got the beef noodle soup for my hub and the beef roll for us to share. Unfortunately, neither were very good. If I had to point out something... it was that neither had any flavor. Chinese food normally BURSTS with flavor, but NOT here. Everything is pretty bland. Presentation is on point and the restaurant is cute and holds about 30. Prices seem reasonable, but when you lack taste, it normally doesn't warrant a return trip. I did it this time cuz it was new and it's really close to my house... SO, I WANT TO LIKE IT, but no... now they've been here over a year and it still lacks "something" read more

This is a go to spot for when our family wants to eat dumplings! We ordered a round of xiao long baos, shrimp fried rice, chicken noodle, and orange chicken. Dumplings were bursting with flavor, fried rice was cooked well, except it could have used a pinch more of either soy sauce or salt, and the chicken noodle soup always hits the spot for me here. Can I say they have great customer service? Initially, they brought over kung pao chicken so I thought oh...maybe I ordered wrong and we ate it. Which I might say...the dish is very delicious! Then about 15 minutes later the orange chicken came over so we were puzzled and expressed that we already started the other dish thinking I ordered wrong and we couldn't accept this one. To which they said no...our mistake, take it...on us! Overall delicious food and great friendly customer service! This place can fill up fast so if you go at high time be prepared to wait a bit...but the food is worth the wait to get your fix on dumplings and other yummies! read more

We came on Saturday evening and there was a bit of a wait. They have a very efficient check in tablet at the door so you can walk around outside and get a text when to come back. It was only about a 10 minute wait. The place is small and obviously very popular. We ordered based on Yelp reviews favorites. Chive, Pork and Shrimp dumplings ($13.50) - these were our favorite of the meal. I'd like to try them pan fried next time. Pork and Cabbage pan fried dumplings ($13.50) - I liked the pan fried crispies, filling was ok. Orange Chicken ($15.50) with white rice ($2.00) - this had a strong taste of vinegar which was a little offputting for me. My husband said that after a while he got used to it. We'll definitely be back to try other flavors of dumplings, like Pork and Corn. I also want to try the green onion pancakes, beef roll, and cucumber salad. read more

Once the location of a mediocre Mexican food place, Juicy Dumpling Factory is a definite step up. We were greeted right away & invited to sit at any of the available tables. We were asked to fill out a form with our selections & the staff was happy to help with any questions. Referring to the Yelp reviews we made our choices: Dan Dan Noodles, Pork Dumplings & the Beef Roll. All three were fresh, hot & flavorful. The atmosphere is clean & modern. Food comes out fast. The menu offers a lot of choices. If you're low or no carb you may have less to choose from but otherwise you're in luck! read more

The beef noodle soup, pork soup dumplings, and chili oil wontons were really good! However, the chicken soup dumplings and pan fried pork and chive dumplings were really just okay in taste. The chives were very overpowering and took away from the taste of the dumpling itself. The chicken wasn't bad, but it also wasn't nearly as flavorful as the pork ones. The service here was good. They didn't do anything that particularly stood out to me, but they were friendly enough. Honestly, the food passes, but I'm not sure if I would choose to eat here over other dumpling/dim sum spots! read more

After returning from three months of traveling in Asia and eating dumplings almost daily, I've been seriously craving them now that I'm back home. I stopped by around 1pm on a Wednesday and the place was packed. I was immediately greeted by the staff and shown to one of the few open tables. Ordering is similar to Din Tai Fung where you check off what you want on a paper menu. I ordered the spicy pork dumplings, chicken dumplings, and chow mein with chicken. The spicy pork dumplings absolutely stole the show and I'll definitely be back for those. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the meal. Overall, it was a satisfying dumpling fix and easily one of the best spots I've found since getting back from my trip! read more

Great restaurant! Visited juicy dumpling with some friends on Saturday evening and was pleasantly surprised. We came before the rush hour so we were thankfully able to get a table and were serviced very quickly. We were able to order a number of items - the string beans, white rice, the pork dumplings, the chili wong tongs, the beef roll, and others - and everything was delicious! All food items were flavorful and the food came out pretty quickly. My favorite item was the string beans! The restaurant is casual and fast paced but great for families. I recommend bringing any type of party here and enjoying everything this restaurant has to offer. read more

Feeling Dumplings in HB? Head for Juicy Dumpling Factory and you won't be disappointed. One of the reviews compared it to DTF, so we had to give it a try. We arrived at 4:30 on a Saturday so we avoided any lines and were seated right away. There's about 13 tables or so and by the time we left, the dining room was full. The service is very efficient so the tables turn pretty quickly. Just like DTF, you write down your order and the server takes it to the kitchen & delivers your dishes as they come out. Tip- if you want everything hot- don't order everything at the same time. We ordered 3 dishes: Spicy pork wontons, Dan Dan noodles and the kung Pao chicken. If you're watching carbs, the stir fry kung pao chicken is the way to go- no rice- just the best kung pao I've ever had. Every dish was so flavorful and the Dan Dan noodles were a flavor bomb with the perfect noodle quality. The spicy pork wonton was delicious as well and the flavor of the sauces was comparable to DTF without the high price. We had a coke and a peach green tea and the meal was around $50 which is unbelievable for the quality of food. That's why there's usually a line!! Definitely Recommend and can't wait to go back! read more
