Decent food but a bit cramped seating. Good and quick service. Very authentic and seems to be pretty popular.

Great service! Good food. This restaurant has been there for 3.5 years and this is the first time trying it. Nice to have a good dumpling spot in the area. No read more

The Food was tasteless. Ordered the chow nine and it was something akin to Panda Express. The Dan Dan noodles were watery and kind of sad. The beef pan cake wrap was stodgy with not much beef . The pancake tasted like the American Chinese giant egg roll skin. Good to fill you up but that's it. read more

Quiet place in Claremont. Ordered Dan Dan Noodles and Pork XLB. The noodles were a little disappointing. The portion of meat was a joke. I asked if they could give me more and I didn't care how much it was but they said they couldn't. XLB was juicy and the dumpling skin wasn't too thick. Service is quick and food comes out quickly. Good for a quick meal with authentic Asian flavors. read more

Always love coming here. Food is excellent and not over priced like a lot of restaurants now. Today I had the beef noodle soup and took home the shrimp fried rice. Everything that I've had has been amazing including the Dan Dan noodles and spicy pork shrimp wontons. Not sure why there isnt a line out the door at this restaurant. Don't walk, RUN to this place!! Can't wait until my next visit read more

Located in a small plaza next to another Chinese restaurant. I was in the plaza waiting for a to-go order from the Filipino restaurant near by when I saw this place. Small seating area inside and they had a good amount of people eating inside. I decided to get their xiao long bao, popcorn chicken, and pan fried dumplings to try. They had 8 pieces of xiao long bao and they were pretty juicy inside. Their popcorn chicken was juicy inside with a crispy batter that was not too thick. It was seasoned nicely with a good portion size. My family liked the xiao long bao and the pan fried dumplings. Closed Tuesdays. read more

This review is solely based off my order of dan dan noodles, but I could imagine how delicious their dumplings and everything else on their menu is after having that one dish for takeout. I was tempted to order more but given my situation I didn't want to take too many leftovers with me. I ordered online here for pickup around 11am, in which my estimate was about 20 minutes. I got a text around then saying my food was ready. I appreciated being able to place my order and paying onsite instead of having to do it through the app to ensure my order was correct. Everything was neatly put together in separate containers, and I was able to enjoy my dan dan noodles nearby. The broth it came with was really good and loved the additional chili oil on the side. The texture of the noodles were amazing -- such silky and smooth noodles that were fresh. The balance of meat & noodles ratio was perfect. I thought the prices here for all their dishes were reasonable given the portion sizes. If I found myself in Claremont again, I would come back. Parking lot was pretty empty at this time of day. Restaurant itself was pretty small so I wonder if it gets crowded during mealtime hours. read more

We ordered takeout (about 30 min wait on a Sunday night) and got three items. The restaurant itself is relatively small, clean, modern. The service is friendly. As for the food: Beef rolls - smaller and longer than I typically see, but still packed with flavor and would definitely get again! Shrimp and pork dumplings - fully stuffed and deeeelicious! Pan fried pork dumplings - the best and not oily! So happy a place like this opened in Claremont. Hope they stick around for a long time. Hiiiiighly recommended from what I tried! read more

A small, simple place with tasty food! Scallion pancake was crispy and flakey. Soup dumplings are super fresh and tasty. Not too salty. Pan fried pork buns are fluffy and crispy on the bottom. Cucumber salad had a sweet soy garlic sauce. Everything made to order and delish! read more

coming in here gives nice rainy day food. this is a homey vibed small restaurant in a small lot with a few other restaurants and a spa nearby. service was good the lady was very nice and very prompt. you are given a pitcher of water and cups. the food also comes out very fast. as for flavor, this isn't your typical taiwanese cuisine. i haven't had a non oily light colored beef noodle soup but here i did. and it was very good i enjoyed it. the xiao long bao had a good amount of soup inside that burst when you bite it. they also give you ginger and vinegar and soy sauce to dip your dumplings which made them very yummy tasting. i do wish however that the wonton was more flavor and with the spice like maybe a salty flavor, was a little bland, it definitely needed to be dipped in sauce and eated with ginger. as for the xiao long bao i like to dip them in broth so having the noodle soup to couple with it was very nice. i recommend dipping your dumplings and wontons in broth before eating because it tastes yummier. average dish price is $11-$13 good price overall would come back. read more

Quick friendly service and great food! It's a small hole in the wall restaurant. There was only one server for the whole place and he was on top of it. We were seated right away and immediately brought out waters. The food came out quick too. I've never had Dan Dan noodles with soup before but it was delicious! Very rich and flavorful. This has become a regular spot for me. read more

Yum! Got the chicken chow mein, chicken fried rice, and spicy wontons. Super delicious. Order to go , price was reasonable and was ready pretty quickly! My favorite out of the three would be the chicken chow mein. The seasoning was so flavorful and the noodles were perfect. Least favorite would be spicy wontons. It was still nice but just not the best that I've had! Still enjoyed I look forward to eating here again!! read more

Solid food. A bit pricy for the portion amount. Don't come here if you are not okay with mediocre service. The best dish was the chow mein and the bok choi. The beef rolls were okay, the roll was crunchy on the outside but they were small. My sweet custard bun was not custard. When we split the bun in half, the custard was hard like the yolk from hard boiled egg. The dumplings were okay as well. They were not juicy and tastes a bit dry. read more

What a gem! Their dan dan mien is the best dan dan I've ever had. Incredibly silky and tasty housemade noodles shine at the center of the most perfectly balanced bowl. A touch on the soupy side, and with large pieces of peanuts instead of minced ones - this not only adds textural variety but also makes drinking that wonderful soup at the end easier. The broth is savory and warming, with just a little spicy kick and a comfortably mellow level of salinity than enhances nuances without hiding anything. The soup dumplings were decent. I've had ones more to my taste elsewhere, but I really apprciate that none of the dumplings tore when picking them up (a common problem with XLB). The dining area is small and humble, but with better quality chairs than most shops of this type, which I greatly appreciated. It was a bit humid and warm, but the cashier/server turned the AC up more towards the end of our meal. I'm hoping to go back, try more of the menu, and be able to update this score. Super impresser by our first visit. As someone who makes ramen, I'm always extra impressed by great noodles and soup, and this particular version of Dan Dan was stellar. read more

Chicken fried rice, beef chow mein were delicious. So much flavor. Ordered it online and it was ready within 20 minutes. Very friendly staff. Looked cute and cozy inside. Definitely will reorder again. read more

The hand-pulled noodle was the star of the show, but don't overlook the steamed dumplings. The broth of my beef noodle soup was flavorful without being too salty. My Ukrainian friend also enjoyed his wonton soup. He commented that the wonton soup is commonly served in Russian, since it shares a border with northern China. The interior was spacious, but some of the tables were too close to comfortably sit without bumping into the neighbor behind me. There's an outdoor table if you want to avoid being in an indoor space. My dog stayed in the car in the shade because she would probably bark at every passerby. Service was average, but the staff allowed us to use the employee bathroom in the kitchen, which was very kind and appreciated because we really needed it after a long hike in Mt. Baldy. read more

Noodle and dumplings definitely hand made here. They are not quick service frozen food kind of place. Everything made out fresh ingredients from scratch. I've seen them in action in their kitchen (which is kinda weird that people have to walk through their entire kitchen to reach bathroom). Flavor wise I don't think it's anything to write home about. It's very hohum. But can't really complaint since I can't find another Chinese restaurant like this within 30 min drive radius.. read more

Ahh so so good! This places picks up foot traffic after 5pm or so and the space is pretty small, you might have to wait outside for a table! Regardless, the only staff member who was working at the front was so quick and efficient. He was basically doing three people's jobs in one go. I think the food came out very quickly compared to other dumpling spots. They may not be freshly made on the spot but honestly, as long as they are still delicious, I don't care. The soup dumplings, scallion pancakes, fried rice, and green beans were so satisfying and filling. I did like the pork xlb over the chicken dumplings I ordered. But the chicken dumplings weren't bad. Soup dumplings always win me over due to how juicy they are. So delicious. Living near claremont for most of my life, I really appreciate that the inland area (past diamond bar/walnut) is getting more solid asian restaurants because it helps expands families' palates here and saves us the drive. I'm excited to come back here again. read more

Ordered dinner delivery from here last night for the first time, so my review is based on a single experience. Not sure if we just got lucky or if their food is just always good! Usually, at least one of the dishes ends up being inedible every time we order in from Chinese spots. I loved everything we tried - the only con was that the chow mein was extremely oily. Highly recommend the shrimp fried rice, the beef chow mein (tasty but be forewarned about the excess oil), and the steamed bok choy. Looking forward to trying other menu items! read more

Can I just say they do their fried rice really well? It has the fire wok flavoring to it, but it does lack a bit of salt 4/5. Their dan dan noodle was not good at all, very watery with the sauce 1/5. Their beef roll was pretty decent 4/5. Rated by a true Asian who knows their chinese food. read more

I typically order take out. They are very fast. The noodles and soup dumplings are excellent.

Got my order to go. There food is more on the lighter and non salty side. Their dishes are good but not as authentic like in San Gabriel Valley. If you need Shrimp fried rice: Rice was pretty fluffy and I appreciate the dish overall was non greasy overall. There was about 5-6 medium size pieces of shrimp. I would order this compared to the beef fried rice. Beef fried rice: Pretty much same as the shrimp fried rice, but the beef is more on the softer side. I tend to prefer the beef to be cooked a little bit more crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. read more

Their dumplings are so flavorful and their prices are so affordable! I always order the pork xiao long baos, and also recommend the pan fried pork dumplings, any of the wonton dishes, and the cucumber salad! Out of their dessert buns, I like their sesame buns the best, then the sweet custard, then the red bean. I don't order them as much because I get too full on savory dumplings, but really recommend getting them if you have room! They usually don't have any music playing, but the food comes out so fast that I don't mind the silence in the restaurant, which is only the case when no other patrons are seated. xiao long bao: 10/10 so juicy, so flavorful, perfect amount of filling. I love these so much and these are definitely my favorite dish from here! pan fried pork dumplings: 9.5/10 very juicy for a pan fried dumpling, but still so crispy! wonton soup: 9/10 I prefer their wonton soup over the spicy ones as it's much more flavorful with the broth! dan dan noodles: 9/10 So flavorful, packed with meat, great sharing dish! I always order it if I'm eating with 3+ others, spicy wontons: 8/10 I wish there was more flavor added than just spicy for their spicy wontons, also not as spicy as I would like. cucumber salad: 8/10 love how the cucumbers aren't too vinegar tasting as I don't enjoy pickle flavors much, but definitely add some soy sauce and chili oil to make the dish even tastier! read more

ordered some chicken chow mein and chicken fried rice. IDK if that was an error but only like 3 bites of chicken in all the noodles and rice. I got those and some egg roles that were oozing some white stuff that looked gross and tasted bad. I thought veg rolls should have veg only. I guess they add cheese or something. Any way for $47 bucks I'd expect more protein. Why cant I find good chow mein in CLaremont? read more

Stopped by on Saturday, 06/24/23 for the first time. I've been eyeing this place since there's a seldom amount of Chinese Restaurants around the Pomona/Claremont/surrounding areas. I ordered the following to-go: 1) 1 Pork Xiao Long Bao (steamed - 8 inside): $10.99 2) 1 Vegetable Dumpling (steamed - 8 inside): $10.99 3) 1 Sweet Custard Buns (2 inside): $6.99 4) 1 Sesame Buns (2 inside): $6.99 5) 1 Shrimp Fried Rice: $12.99 6) 1 Beef Chow Mein: $13.99 SUBTOTAL: $62.94 TAX: $5.98 TOTAL: $68.92 Very good food however I overly priced. Not as authentic as the San Gabriel Valley (SGV) restaurants but it is still delicious. Small family restaurant but the wait time was very minimal for me. You can also grab free hard candy up front after paying for your meal. Overall 3/5. read more

Let me start by saying oh my God it was delicious. Food was fresh and you could tell the quality was very good for the price. I couldn't believe the price was so low.

I'm giving this place a 4 because the food was absolutely delicious--every dish was amazing! It's a quaint, tiny hole-in-the-wall spot with just one man running the front. I would recommend it solely for the food, but there were some off-putting aspects. At one point, the man serving the food was blowing his nose and cleaning it in plain view. He didn't seem concerned until he noticed me watching, at which point he rinsed his hands--but without using soap. That was pretty unsettling. On top of that, the water tasted like straight tap water, which wasn't great. However, the service itself was decent, and again, the food was fantastic. While I'm torn because of the nose-cleaning incident, the quality of the food makes it hard to dismiss this place entirely. I'm not sure I'd return, but for anyone who can overlook those things, the food is worth trying! read more

This is your typical local neighborhood Chinese joint. If these local eateries continue to just cook like this, I don't see how they're going to be able to compete against Panda express. At this point honestly customer service, quality of food and efficiency is superior at panda express so why would I pay to come and eat at a place like this? The chow mein was cold and tasted microwaved. The pork Xiao long bao was plain. The chili oil wonton was even more bland. This place does not believe in seasoning, tastes like there's no passion or heart in the cooking. Does the Cook even taste their own food? And don't even get me started on the customer service. I don't recommend this place at all. Go to Panda express. read more

Silly name, but the food is legit. It's probably the most legit Asian restaurant in this area, although I generally don't come out to Claremont to eat Asian food. My family and I decided to venture out here today just for this place because my wife works near the area and wanted to see if this place is any good. It probably won't stand out if it's in SGV area, but I found the food to be quite good. I almost want to give this five stars, but just don't want to hype up the expectation for other people. Xiao Long Bao (juicy pork dumplings) were great, although the skin could've been thinner on top. Overall it was still thin enough to enjoy the soup inside without having it all soaked up by the skin. Beef Noodle Soup had soothing broth with just the right amount of flavor, and the noodles were excellent. Tasted like homemade with the right amount of firmness to provide some chewiness. Cucumber Salad was refreshing with a little bit of kick at the end. I wouldn't necessarily call it spicy, but it had a subtle bite. Sesame Buns were excellent. Tasted super fresh and were piping hot when they came out. They weren't overly sweet either, which I liked. My entire family loved this place, and will be our regular stop for lunch when we are out in Claremont. It's located in an inconspicuous area so it's easy to miss if you are not specifically looking for it. It's fairly small inside with about six tables total. read more

I am so glad that I checked Yelp again to look for some beef noodle soup and Xiao Long Bao. This place just opened for 3 months, and wow is the food good. It isn't that big of a place maybe 6 tables at most, usually the tables can fit at least 4. I found out from the person who took our order that this place the chef is from Shandong, so their specialty would be anything in the noodles, bread that they make. Am just so stoked that a place like this exists in Claremont! They do have a working Apple Pay (they found out together with me) , and a high chair in case you do have small children! Food Our first time here we were able to try the following: Beef Noodle Soup- The Noodle is amazing, and the broth and beef is just as great. It is a more clear broth and my kids loved it. Dan Dan Noodle- This was my first time trying this sort of Dan Dan Noodle, that was more soup based. It has a bit of spice but not too hot, but was great with the peanuts and grounded meat Xiao Long Bao - FINALLY a place that makes this Quite Legit with soup inside of them. Can't wait to try other flavors Sesame Bun- the bread was "pillowy" wasn't too sweet, was great ! Can't wait to try their Beef Roll Wrap, Hot Oil Wontons, and other dishes. Will definitely be visiting quite often! read more

We had dinner here tonight and enjoyed it a lot. We had the cucumber salad, which I thought had a bitter taste to it but my husband like it. We also had the shrimp chow mein which was delicious. The shrimp were large and juicy and it was well seasoned. We lastly had the port potstickers which were also very good. The service was awesome and the restaurant was very clean and comfortable. read more

I was craving for the popcorn chicken and so happy that I tried this place. The portion is big and they made the best popcorn chicken that I have ever had. Every bites of the chicken were juicy, savory, well seasoned and crispy. Even the reheated leftover were still juicy and crispy. Service was average and the place is small but clean and cozy. I also tried the beef stew noodles soup and the fried bao. They were also delicious but the popcorn chicken was my favorite of all. read more

Came in at 8:20 PM, knowing the place closes at 9. We were immediately told they'd only take one round of ordering, which was fair but from that point on, the entire experience felt rushed and uncomfortable. The staff's tone and body language came off as annoyed. Dishes were set down hastily and carelessly, with little regard for presentation or courtesy. As more customers walked in, we overheard staff telling them they had to be finished eating by 9 PM, no exceptions. Unfortunately, our food didn't arrive until 8:45, so we were essentially forced to inhale it just to comply. The check came quickly, and the server snatched it up with such urgency that it actually knocked over one of our cups. While trying to pack up leftovers, we felt watched and rushed, as if our presence was now an inconvenience. No matter how good the food might be, being pressured and made to feel unwelcome ruins the entire experience. Sadly, we won't be coming back. read more

The restaurant itself is pretty with hanging decorations on the inside. It's quaint and small, but it's never full with people despite it being such a great place. The food is delightful from the noodles to the chicken. Its dessert option is marvelous with it being red bean buns. They are big and satisfy the mind of its yearning for sweets. The staff are swift with their service and there are free guava candies provided at the counter up front. 10/10, I believe there should be more people visiting this hidden gem. read more
