    Steamed Pork Soup 蒸汤饺 - 8pcs
    Jennifer S. M.

    Luscious Dumplings serves some of the best dumplings, whether they're pan-fried, soup, or steamed. My husband and I stopped by last Wednesday for dinner. It's located in a plaza where you can find parking either directly in front of the business or near it. Parking can be a challenge depending on the time of day. There were a few spots open; luckily, we didn't have to circle to find one in the shade. We stopped by to redeem our SGV passport offer which was: 1 Free Pan Fried Mix Dumpling Plate. Choose up to 2 dumpling flavors, excluding soup dumplings. Dine-in only. No substitutions. *We have our own passports and redeemed both.* We ordered Cabbage, Shrimp, and Pork; Chicken; Flaky Fish; and Pork. We added an extra order of their Steamed Pork Soup Dumplings to support the business. Altogether, we got 10 free pan-fried dumplings and paid for the 8 steamed dumplings. We only spent $20, what a steal! The pan-fried dumplings are a must-try! The cook was consistent on all of them. The dough had a bit of a crisp and a soft chew to it. The proteins were perfect and seasoned well. We've had their pork soup dumplings before, it was as luscious as we remembered! The fat from the pork broth made me smack my lips - that's how I know it was good! Our server - Melissa - was awesome! She was attentive, helpful, and welcoming. All the good things people have written about her prior were true. She was really great! Overall, this is a place that will be on rotation for us. We always get excited when we decide to dine here. Thank you, Luscious Dumplings! See you again soon!

    Visited 5/21/26 - Angus Stewed Beef Noodle 15 Hands down the best noodle soup. The beef is soft, tender, flavorful. The broth is delicate but packs a mean punch of flavor, no restaurant has come close to a balance as good as this. If you have been to the OG luscious or one one dumpling, this is the exact same. - Pan Fried Pork Dumpling 13.5 The skin is thick and fried to caramelized heaven. I would say if you want a hefty dumpling this is the place. If you remember the original location, the dumplings taste similar but not fried as well. Still one of the best spots around. - Pork XLB 13.5 One of the dishes you just have to get when eating taiwanese beef noodle soup. No notes, a great XLB with thin skin that doesn't break easily! If you have never been here, you have to come. The chili oil is my sister's favorite that she buys a bottle every time we visit. My brother in law has me order take out every time I visit him in the bay, this place is truly that good. Ambiance isn't great but thats not the reason why this place is amazing, the emphasis is on the food. Bathroom rating is 4 stars, decent enough to use. Not much interaction with staff, you order with QR Code.

    Mushroom Meat Sauce Rice
    Kristy H.

    I decided to try Luscious Dumplings for the first time, and while the dumplings were great, the Mushroom Meat Sauce Rice was a standout for me! I thought this was the most authentic dish there was, and it tasted just like the ones I've had in Taiwan. Don't sleep on trying this one! Service was also very good and quick, and the restaurant itself was clean and cozy!

    Pork Belly Rice Bowl/ 东坡大肉

    I honestly can't believe they would serve something like this. so disgusting. The food shown on the menu looked completely different from what was actually served. The presentation, portion, and overall appearance were nowhere close to what I expected based on the menu photos. I understand that food may not look exactly like the pictures, but this was a pretty big difference. What you see on the menu versus what you actually get are two very different things. Very disappointing and definitely not what I expected.

    A delicious chili oil, they're 2 separate ones and they had a vinegar soy sauce and a regular one,It's my favorite Go to.

    The food...the service...theAmbiance...All were extremely awesome!

I want to try everything on the menu! I HIGHLŸ,HIGHLY RECOMMEND LUSCIOUS DUMPLINGS!

    Pan Fried Pork 煎猪肉饺 -10pcs
    Brent Y.

    My wife and I ordered the pork soup dumplings, onion pancakes, pan-fried pork dumplings, and the Angus stewed beef noodle soup. Ordering is self-serve through their website, and you pay upfront before the food comes out, which makes the process quick and easy. The pork soup dumplings were super juicy, and the soup inside was the perfect temperature. The onion pancakes were light and crispy, and the pan-fried pork dumplings had a great crunch on the outside. The beef in the noodle soup was incredibly tender and full of flavor. We've been here a few times now, and the food is always consistent and comes out pretty quickly. The dipping sauces are also really flavorful and elevates the dumplings. My 5-year-old son is a picky eater, and he happily eats here, which says a lot. Definitely a go-to spot for us, and we'll absolutely be back.

    pan fried dumpling -  too burnt
    Richard W.

    Do not recommend Luscious Dumpling. Pan fried dumpling was burnt. They would not exchange. Too bad since they use to be good.

    I haven't gone to Luscious for a long time. I came here on a Monday around noon. I was the only table there. You can either scan the QR code to order or ask the server to order for you. Now they don't even put the price on the menu. I ordered the beef tendon noodles combo with pan fish dumplings. The fish dumplings were not as great as they used to be. They were bland and you need to add $1.50 on top of the combo price. Noddles is still a solid choice but nothing exciting. Food quality is still good but the atmosphere has changed to cold.

    Pan Fried Pork -10pcs
    Sylvie C.

    No table or parking available when I arrived but the tasty food made the visit well worth it. The courteous service provided by the server was nice. We ended up getting the food as a takeout because of lack of seats. The order became available fairly quickly. The pan fried dumplings were very juicy and well seasoned. It had so much juice like soup dumplings but crunchiness like a pan fried dumpling should. Just wonderful and delectable. I liked the steamed shrimp chive pork dumplings and pork over rice too. Everything tasted delicious and fresh. I'm so glad I finally got to go experience their famed deliciousness!

    Scallion Pancake
    Winnie L.

    Luscious Dumplings is my new favorite spot to satisfy my Chinese food cravings. Everything I tried was delicious, affordable, and definitely lives up to their Michelin Guide recognition. The staff were very welcoming and super friendly as well. A nice bonus is that there's free parking in the plaza where they're located.

    Steamed Vegan 素饺 - 8pcs
    Vera W.

    Did you know this place was Michelin-rated in 2021 and 2022? It's a small, quaint restaurant with soft jazz playing in the background -- calm, cozy, and welcoming. Everything is served ready to take home if you can't finish -- super convenient! I started with the pickled lotus root, which popped with sweet, tangy pickled ginger -- such a refreshing appetizer. The scallion pancakes were a bit oily, but incredibly crisp, thin, and flaky -- honestly, I couldn't stop eating them! The chicken yuzu 小笼包 (soup dumplings) were the standout -- light, delicate, and infused with a hint of citrus that made them truly unique and delicious. The pan-fried chive pockets were aromatic and full of flavor, and the pan-fried chive shrimp & pork dumplings were just as tasty -- juicy and perfectly seared. For the vegan lovers, the steamed veggie dumplings were hearty, flavorful, and surprisingly satisfying. I didn't try the noodles this time, but judging by how many people ordered them, they're clearly a hit -- definitely on my list for next visit! A must-try spot for dumpling lovers and anyone craving refined comfort food with a Michelin touch.

    Pan fried Pork dumplings - a little too oily and salty for my taste . Filling was extra juicy though, a bit of XLB broth in there which I thought was quite unique. Steamed XLB - on par w Dan modern. Decent, hits the spot for when you have the itch but wouldn't drive out of my way. Service was good.

    Cabbage Shrimp and Pork - 10pcs
    Jan J.

    I had come here a few times before and was really happy with the place. We came in on a Wednesday when they first opened at 5:00pm for dinner. I was surprised how it took a long time for our order as we were the first to arrive. We also saw about 5 take out orders go out while we waited. Seems that was their priority. I was also surprise how the ordering process is done online and paid for before you receive the food including tip. Food was pretty good but not as great as I had remembered a couple of years ago when I came in. Seems they might be sitting on the Michele star from 2021. We had 3 different dumplings - I will say they came out super hot and fresh.

Ordered white rice for $2.00 a bowl. The Pan Fried Taro Cake or 香煎芋絲餅 was really good and crispy. The Wood Ear Salad with Mature Vinegar or 陳醋雲耳 was descent. The Stir Fried Pork with Dried Bean Tofu wasn't in the paper menu, but was in the book menu. It was really salty and oily. The Steamed Dim Sum Combo or 蒸點四拼 came with four items and felt expensive for the $10.98. Felt the price was expensive for what you get. Also, expected the food to taste better for being a Mechlin Star restaurant. Make sure you flag down the waiters because they will not check in on you. Saw a customer yelled at the staff because no one check in on her.

We ordered a fish dish that was pretty interesting (honestly not sure what the exact name was), an oyster omelet, and clams with basil. Everything was tasty and definitely made me go through a couple bowls of rice. One thing I always appreciate is that they still give complimentary dessert at the end of the meal.

The food is consistently good, honestly better than a lot of nearby places that charge quite a bit more. What won me over right away, though, was the breakfast combo. Two dim sum items and a hot drink for just $14 is a genuinely good deal. A cold drink is only $1 more (typical HK practice), and you can also take your drink to go for another $1, which is a nice little convenience. I'm pretty particular about milk tea, so I don't say this lightly: their half coffee, half milk tea really hits the spot every time. It's balanced, and satisfying. Beyond the combo, they also serve all the comfort staples, porridge, fried chow mein, Chinese donuts, and my personal favorite, rice noodles with a variety of fillings. It delivers the same comforting flavors you want from a casual dim sum-style breakfast, but without the inflated prices, long waits, and hectic atmosphere that have become so common at more traditional dim sum spots. This place is a solid, dependable replacement for the usual dim sum experience. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the service is consistently warm and welcoming. The driveway can be a little tricky. It sits right next to the Taco Bell drive-through exit, separated only by a fire hydrant, so it's easy to miss or get confused when pulling in. But it's a small tradeoff for a spot that delivers this much value and consistency.
