    The food was flavorful and comforting, with a great variety of dishes. The Lao Gan Ma stir-fried pork kidneys were savory with a nice spicy kick, while the water shield wontons were delicate and comforting. The braised pork ribs were tender and flavorful. The crab soup dumplings were juicy and rich, and the boiled fish with beef slices had a satisfying spicy, savory broth. Overall, a delicious spot for a Chinese meal with plenty of flavorful dishes to share!

    Hands down some of the best juicy dumplings in town, [[HIGHLIGHT]]with clean seating and friendly staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend the soup dumplings, though a few other dishes can be hit or miss.

    Came to LONG XING JI because of the GIANT SOUP DUMPLING. My girl's eyes were definitely bigger than her stomach because she ordered two and in the end, she couldn't even finish one. We had to take her second one home (because I ordered something for my self and the other kid got a whole bao just or herself too) and the dumpling, no surprise here, didn't taste as good when reheated. BUT.... it was great when it just came out of the kitchen and placed in front of us. The giant dumpling is a crab and pork xiao long bao and filled out a medium sized bowl. The GLASS SHRIMP is delicious. LONG XING JI is on the second floor of this lare shopping center with its own free and large parking lot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is large, clean and comfortable enough to bring your family or a large group.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not for banquets.

    We came back to get our favorite salted green beans and pork belly fried rice. It did not disappoint. Same great taste and flavors, and that is why we compare everywhere with here for items we get. One sour note. We always tip, but when the waiter asks if you are paying with cash, you start wondering why. It is because they were note getting their tips if the person was paying by card. So I paid by card, but left the tip in cash on the table. They are moving due to the building being renovated, but take care of the employees please.

    Famous for their hand sized soup dumplings, "Juicy Dumplings" is a small restaurant located in San Gabriel Square, next to a tofu house and many empty storefronts. It came on my radar because of their soup dumpling, so when we needed to be in the area for a Saturday night, our group of four agreed to meet there. We were seated right away and given a laminated card with a marker, and two picture menus without prices. It's a cool way to provide pictures for menu items, without having to constantly update the expensive picture menu because of price changes. We got 4 hot waters (provided in large plastic glasses which was appreciated), and a coke ($2.20, only from a can since they don't have a soda machine, obviously no refills). We ordered the following and they came as they were prepared. Juicy Pork/Crab bun for $9.49 each (2) - this is what they are famous for and it came last. You really have to eat it two stages: first sucking out the juices with a straw, then tearing the skin apart. It is unique, but the ratio of skin to soup seems wrong to me. wouldn't get it again. Juicy Pork/Crab dumpling $16.99 - comes with 9 pieces and is expensive. But the dumplings were very good, well crafted and the soup inside was delicious. Green Beans $14.99 - wok fired green beans. Plenty given and was good. Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce $15.99 - garlic sauce at a chinese restaurant can mean a lot of different things. This version uses a lot more chilly oil and vinegar than garlic, and was very red hot in looks and flavor. It used finely diced pork loin pieces. House Chow Mein ($12.99) - another case where you can't be sure what Chow Mein is. In this case, it was spaghetti noodles which I don't want to eat at a chinese restaurant. But my co-diners liked it a lot, especially for the flavor, quantity, and price. Steam rice is $1.50 per bowl. It was enough food for the 4 of us with leftovers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is an open kitchen where you can see the expert dumpling makers apply their craft. The XLB is very well crafted, consistent thin skin even at the top.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But next time, I would skip the expensive soup dumplings (maybe it is cheaper if no crab?) and stick with the classics. There was a small annoyance with one of our waiters, who repeatedly asked me in broken english that he wanted his tip in cash (once I produced a credit card to pay). I can think of a couple of reasons why he would want this, none of them deserving more elaboration (better not to know I think). So final thought is that it is a good restaurant, but with multitude of great chinese restaurants in the SGV area for better prices, it wouldn't be a place to go out of the way for (like what we did here)

    When it comes to xiao long bao, this is the place I want to come to fulfill my cravings. Their sweet pork xiao long bao is very savory and it's my favorite. I could finish all 10 pieces myself :) I also like their pot stickers, beef noodles, etc... food here is great! Service can be more attentive. We had to flag the server down for ice water and extra napkins. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tips: their bathroom stinks like if you're in a Seward. Avoid if all possible.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would come back for the food and I have recommended this place to friends and strangers on other social media sites when looking for a good xiao long bao place that is not overrated like DTF.

    40. Beef Rolls  @lindaeatstagram
    Linda L.

    So excited to finally get to eat giant XLBs locally in the 626! The chef here hails from Shanghai and you can definitely taste the authenticity he endorses despite the slight Wuxi fusion influence. This jumbo sized crab and pork bun is simply delectable! Unlike Array 36, this place uses real crab meat in the fillings & it's obvious. I'm already planning another visit to have this even though my friends and I each got our own, I need moreee! The beef rolls are pretty tasty, the regular XLBs are great, the garlic cucumbers are excellent. However, didn't really personally like the pork wonton soup. The color and the thickness just wasn't as magical. The place is pretty big, but this plaza has been kind of emptier than usual as of late & they can use some extra business. I think the service could've been better since we were rushed from the get go. I think the owner was much more pleasant and willing to chat about the her background and history of the restaurant.

    This place used to be my favorite xiao long bao dim sum spot. I even gave it a 5 star a year ago due to its authenticity and great taste. Returning visit after 1 year, it almost felt like a different restaurant. I even took my old mother with me this time cuz she wanted to taste authentic Chinese food after being away from home for so many years. The meat in the xiao long bao wasn't fresh, it was heavily salty. The service was abysmal. When we got in the shop, the server explicitly asked for us to pay in cash. I was like no problem as long as the food is good, don't embarrass me in front of my mum. When the food finally was ready, we realized that the table and the plates weren't properly cleaned so we asked for another wipe and set. Even with such horrible food and service, my mother still insisted tipping the mean waiter. Ironically, the waiter came back and asked for more tip. That's such a shameless act!!! You see my old mother reaching into her wallet counting more money just because she felt obligated to tip more because the waiter asked. I took her out of there immediately. And you could even hear the waiter complain after we reached the door. I also told them that it's illegal to ask for tip like that especially after the July 1 no hidden fee legislation. They also can't charge a mandatory % of tips anymore (even though I know my mum always tip over 15%). It's a disaster. Do not recommend whatsoever. With horrible service and food, the ambiance also turned quite boisterous.

    77. Beef in Cumin Sauce  25. Hot & Spicy Beef Noodle Soup
    Jaqueline G.

    BALDWIN PARK LOCATION!!!! Hot and Spicy Noodle Soup. Rate that a 2. It was very minty, or whatever that herb was. Just wasn't it. Flavor was just off. Beef and cumin sauce plate. 2 star rating. It tastes like they threw taco seasonings. Weird. 10/10 white rice. That is all. Maybe I just ordered the wrong plates, I don't know. First time having it, I was not impressed. Thumbs down :,(

    The restaurant is upstairs in the 99 ranch plaza. Plenty of parking especially since they are renovating the whole plaza right now. It is spacious inside with the usual service you get at Chinese restaurants. The giant soupy crab dumpling was delicious. The skin is thin and you get a straw to sip the soup out of the dumpling. The spicy beef noodle sure has a kick in the mala way. My mouth was on fire and it was so spicy my lips were tingling. The spicy wontons was so good. Again a bit of the mala spice but what I liked most about it is that the dumpling itself was seasoned perfectly and went great with the spicy soup. The noodle and the pork which that region is known for were also both fantastic. Overall the meal was great all around. The flavors of every dish I ordered was spot on and I'd definitely go back again. One star down because they didn't serve tea which was odd.

    Another Dumpling house on my list. Long Xing Li is a favorite for many, so i had to give them a visit. I got a table right next to the big kitchen window, so I could see all the delicious dumplings being made. What a great spot to sit. My three go-to's are XLB (Soup Dumplings), Spicy Wontons and Spicy Beef Noodle Soup. Getting started with the soup dumplings, once you order, they are quick to bring out plenty of ginger so you can mix your sauce. These are some of the best I've had. They are full of tasty soup, the skin was light and the filling is flavorful. The Spicy Wantons are excellent - plentiful and large. I usually finish off an order of Wontons but there were too many here (Take home!) The Hot & Spicy Beef Noodle Soup (#25) is actually very spicy. It's the first time in recent memory, where I did not need to add chili oil. In addition to the heat, the soup is loaded with delicious noodles and beef. Not the most tender in the world but definitely good and flavorful. The service here is very friendly and kind. I will definitely be coming back again.

    13. Juicy Pork & Crab Dumplings
    Vicky W.

    This is the largest steamed soup dumpling I've ever seen. It has park and real crab meat stuffed inside. They even give me a straw for the soup dumpling. Very flavorful and juicy. Definitely a good comforting food when it's a cloudy weather like today!! Quick customer service, very friendly. Specious and clean dining area. Food is delivered in a timely manner. Thank you Long Xing Ji for serving yummy food!!

    This is THE place for fist sized XLB! We got the: 1) Pan Fried Pot Stickers (10 pieces) -Decent amount of pork filling. Not too salty, moist. -Slight crispy edges. Only a bit disappointed since I wanted those pan fried pork stickers with the extra crispy pan skin attached. 2) Xiao Long Bao: -We got their non-sweet pork filling. (9 pieces) -They weren't lying when they said this was non-sweet, as the pan fried pot stickers were sweeter with their meat filling. -Decent amount of soup inside, not too hot. 3) Juicy Pork & Crab Bun: -The only reason I ordered from here was to get this jumbo juicy pork and crab bun as I have only seen those giant dumplings "buns" before on social media and wanted to try. -It's definitely juicy and the shape of the dumpling is that of the container it's in. -Comes with a generous amount of golden crab soup and some pork meat inside (same as the other stuff that we ordered). If you're not a fan of seafood, this might not be for you since the crab flavor is pretty strong. -Very thin skin, it's not bad but it's obviously for novelty sake more than anything. Overall not bad. There's definitely better dumpling places out there, but not lots of them let you order a dumpling larger than your fist!

    Can you bulk buy frozen Xiao Long Bao? What's the pricing for the bulk frozen menu

    You can buy frozen, but call ahead. Lately, they have making it to order.

    Will I be able to try the XLB or other dumplings if I go at dinner? Some places run out. ??

    They have never ran out. In fact, you can order to take home to steam yourself. I am not a fan of the large one except it's great in photos. I like the sweet xlb and the wushi ribs (forget the name).

However, if you want to try something a little different, there are some "traditional" Kaiping specialties that I haven't seen on menus anywhere else. I've always come with my family and have received great service because my dad knows the staff. They speak my home dialect so I'm sure there's some bias there. Foodwise, I've tried quite a bit and haven't had any dishes that didn't hit the mark for me. Standouts for me are the big claypot yellow eel rice, their specialty roast goose (the 2 dishes just listed may require a preorder but again, my dad usually handles all the ordering), their beansprout with pig intestine, and their egg plant with salted fish. The claypot rice is ordered by the kilo so really is a big party dish but has nice succulent pieces of eel, really well cooked rice, and then of course the crispy rice at the bottom. The goose is very flavorful and not super gamey, it has more of a meaty texture and bite than the younger poultry an American pallette may be used to so word of warning. I really like the beansprout with pig intestine, again not really gamey but very savory with very tender, fatty pieces of intestine (highly recommend even if you're hesitant with intestine). The eggplant with salted fish is also intensely savory with a pungency from the salted fish that may seem like a lot but melds really well with the sauce and overall flavor of the dish. Though I haven't tried every dish on their menu, I've tried quite a bit and can confidently say they'll bring out some tasty Chinese dishes.

Usually beef is tough in this type of noodle dish at other places. The flavors were legit..not too sweet or salty just right! It's really hard for me to find good Asian food in Baldwin Park so I was pleasantly surprised when we stumbled upon this place. Highly recommend. Our server was a Chinese lady..probably didn't speak much of English and didn't come across as friendly but to be honest that's how you know the food is going to slap when you have a waitress with the meanest RBF...so don't be alarmed just know food is going to smack! LOL It's located in a very random place but there's plenty of parking. It's pretty laid back but I would say can be good for large groups. It's not too loud or rowdy at all.

The sesame peanut noodles have been disappointing the last three times I've ordered them. They barely add any sauce anymore, so the noodles taste bland.

I asked an employee in Spanish if I could have a straw. She acted like she didn't understand me, so I asked again in English, and she still said she didn't understand. I just said never mind. But a few minutes later, my aunt asked the same employee in Spanish for more water, and suddenly she understood perfectly. That honestly left me confused. The employees also come off as rude and unfriendly. Then, when it's time to pay, they practically shove the tablet in your face while standing there watching you. We were a party of four, yet there was a $16 gratuity added, and on top of that they asked us how much extra tip we wanted to leave. It feels like you're being pressured into tipping twice instead of it being your choice. It's honestly sad because this place used to be so good. I've noticed fewer people eating there lately, and if the food quality and customer service keep getting worse, I can see why. I hope management takes this seriously and brings Thumbling back to what it used to be.

The absolute standout was definitely the deep fried fish fillet. The batter was super light and airy, and the fish inside was perfectly flaky and tender. We paired it all with the vegetable lo mein, which was loaded with veggies and the noodles weren't mushy at all, which is always a win. Portions are good, everything feels fresh, and it definitely hits the spot. We have been dining here for years and will continue to do so!

Although these items did not taste spectacular, there's an admirable beauty with its satisfying texture and freshness. I arrived at Cr8zy Bao (West Covina) on Tuesday (around 9:15AM). This location requested 10 extra minutes to setup. After perusing its adjacent market, I returned. Cr8zy Bao (West Covina) was ready for business at 9:25AM. Staff is courteous and professional. Staff (name on receipt - Yaya) is helpful and hardworking. Yaya answered all my questions, and Yaya moved quickly. I ordered the King Steamed Meat Bao ($9.14 - 3pc) and 10 Won Bread ($5). The food was ready in 14 minutes and 54 seconds. The 10 Won Bread has three filling choices: mozzarella cheese, custard, or red bean. I selected the custard filling. The 10 Won Bread had a thin, crisp, and crunchy outer crust; its similar to a finely toasted waffle. Its inner layer is very soft and spongey. Breaking apart this toasted pastry, hot & gooey custard cream bursts forward. I enjoyed the sensation and mild-sweetness of this sticky, flowing liquid. The King Steamed Meat Bao also tasted freshly made. It avoids being dry; rather, its bun is supple, buoyant, and springy. Its filling tastes fresh and slightly savory. Its mashed meat and diced glass noodles add a pleasant bounce. Although the filling lacked any memorable taste, I appreciated how the filling wasn't salty. The King Steamed Meat Bao's filling reminded me of freshly mashed meatball. Regarding ambiance, it's nonexistent at Cr8zy Bao (West Covina). The location is a food stand in a market. Thankfully, its counters and floors are clean. Also, I felt safe since a security guard is stationed by the entrance. Fortunately, there's plenty of indoor and outdoor tables to use since it's connected to the Haven City Market. Bright, bubbly music appeared around 10AM; however, it was silent prior. Overall, Cr8zy Bao (West Covina) is a good experience. If you like baos and dumplings, this location is a solid choice. The portions are filling; the food is fresh; and its cooks put visible care into their items. 4.5 out of 5

    The lady at the counter that took my order didn't speak any English. When I got my hotteok order,…read morethere was only one but the menu says there are 4. When I asked she had only charge me for a single one which was fine but another worker had to come check the order for me and explain the mix up. Got the cold noodles, I liked that the ice added to the noodle was iced broth so it didn't water down the soup. There's no meat at all, just cucumber, radish and half an egg. The noodles were gummy and stuck together in a giant clump which made it hard to eat. For $17 with no meat and overly soft noodles, this was not worth it. The cheese coin was a total disappointment. It was mostly mochi like breading and very little cheese that didn't have any pull to it. Not sure what cheese they used but it's not anything like the ones in Korea. The hotteok was the biggest disappointment and I'm glad they messed up and only charged me for one. It came like the cheese coin which was my first inkling something is wrong. The inside was also mostly mochi chewy bread with a very thin layer of something that is only a little bit sweet. Absolutely nothing like a real hotteok and did not look anything like the picture on the menu. This is a one and done for me.
