    Was visiting a friend over the weekend when we decided to stop here to eat and man how glad I am! The restaurant was packed with a long wait list but it was well worth it. Once you get inside, you are shown where to sit and they have a QR code to scan to order! I love the website, it was super user friendly with good descriptions of each food as well as pictures! The interactions you have with the workers are very limited because of this. We got an order of the Pork Xiao Long Bao and just simply beautiful! They had a lot of favor and broth! It paired amazing with the vinegar/soy sauce they have on every single table. The Shrimp Har Gow was actually my top favorite item we got that. It's such a tiny item but it was PACKED with shrimp! If you're going to go, please try this dish out. I haven't stop thinking about it since. The Sautéed Bok Choy was also very delicious. I wanted something for the health, and we were both glad with this dish. My friend is a very picky eater and never even heard of Bok Choy before, but I managed to convince her to try and she loved it! This dish is definitely picker eater approved! It has a great crunch while having a lot of flavor. The Spicy Pork Wontons were solid delicious dish as well! It was my friend's favorite item! We both agreed that the sauce was the perfect amount of spicy! The last item we got was a Chow Mein! I will say it was nothing special but overall great eat and heated up well the next day! The restaurant itself was super tiny and just buzzing with all the different conversations everybody was having! I did like the videos of the preparing the food on the tv! It was very bright and clean in the restaurant! Overall, I enjoyed this restaurant! It was a great change up from the usual spot I like to go too. everything about going I definitely recommend the Xiao Long Bao and the Shrimp Har Gow!!

    3/10/2026: The weather was a little cooler and Momma Kiki was craving Asian food.. One Bite Dumpling for the win! I can't put enough description under the images but let me tell you about the soup that I crave and can't get anywhere else unless I go to San Gabriel Valley. This is a MUST try! If you're a fan of full flavored foods. It is the best, most unique "new to me" dish I've tried in a long while, and this is my fifth time ordering because I am completely addicted! Listed under ENTREES instead of soup, the first time I ordered I expected a platter with fish and pickled greens. When the bowl of soup arrived I was confused, but once I tasted it I was NOT disappointed! It's called Fish Filets with Pickled Mustard Greens 酸菜鱼 on the menu, the Chinese name is suan cai yu for those who know. Tender fish fillets simmered in a bold Sichuan chili broth. Sichuan peppercorns produce a phenomenon which the lips and tongue feel as though they are vibrating and go slightly numb - known as má. I order mine "less spicy" and it still has a little heat but just enough to be tasty, not to bring the pain. Regular is a little spicy for me and the "Extra Spice" must be for the real heat seekers. You can also request them to add their rice noodles to the dish if you're feeling slurpy.. it's delicious either way! The other dish, the Eggplant with Garlic Sauce is new and I'd get that again, too. Let's be honest I haven't had anything bad yet! But be adventurous and try the Fish Filets with Pickled Mustard Greens. Get a bowl to share with your table! Your tastebuds will thank me.

    While looking for something different for lunch, we happened upon seeing One Bite Dumpling in our Yelp feed. One Bite Dumpling (一口香饺子坊) is a casual, family-owned restaurant just off I-5 at the Lyons exit in Santa Clarita. The restaurant's interior's layout did not give a great impression, however by the name we could tell the food was exactly what we were looking for. The restaurant is known for its on-site handmade dumplings and dim sum. The menu features a variety of dim sum and regular Chinese dishes, including many vegetarian and vegan options. Ordering is via QR code using one's phone or tablet. The menu is easy to navigate. If there are any special instructions when ordering, write it in the open space provided, and they will accommodate. If you can not access, or prefer not to order this way, the front counter person would be happy to assist in placing your order. One Bite Dumpling only takes credit or debit cards. No cash at this time. While service can be hit or miss, the food was definitely worth the trip and another visit will definitely follow.

    One Bite Dumpling in Santa Clarita is such a gem! Everything we ordered was full of flavor and clearly made with care. The chicken dumplings were juicy, perfectly seasoned, and had that satisfying bite with each mouthful. You can really taste the freshness in the filling and the balance of flavors in the wrapper. The spicy eggplant was a standout dish. It had just the right amount of heat, rich sauce, and a soft, melt in your mouth texture that paired beautifully with the other dishes. The lotus leaf wrapped rice was comforting and aromatic, with the lotus leaf adding a subtle fragrance that made it feel extra special and authentic. Great food, solid portions, and a welcoming spot that delivers on quality. If you're craving dumplings and flavorful Chinese dishes in Santa Clarita, One Bite Dumpling is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back!

    Went off the board for pork wonton soup. Worst tasting soup I've ever had. Got up and walked out after one spoonful. Music was very offbeat and not an easy listen. Place was kinda crowded so they must be doing something right. But it was a bad draw for me.

    Every time I come into town, I have to go to this place. The food is absolutely delicious. One of the best dumpling spots I've ever been to! Service is super friendly and the ambience is small hole in the wall. I feel like this place is one of SCV's best kept secrets, but everyone should be going and know about this place!

    I think I'm spoiled from Din Tai Fung, so the Xiao Long Bao's were not for me (and I forgot to take a pic lol). Decided to finally try this spot since we've had it on our list for a while and because we were in the area grabbing coffee. Parking is horrid. We luckily found plenty of street parking but the way this lot is built, forces you to park over the lines which literally everyone did so we couldn't even squeeze into any of the "open" spots. We were greeted by the friendly and very welcoming staff! The manager (didn't get her name) was always checking in on us and making sure we had what we needed. She also asked about my coffee and where we got it from and although they don't allow outside food and drinks, she allowed it this time as long as we didn't leave it behind. Small restaurant overall but packed and busy when we were there. They have a QR ordering system and you check out once you place the order which felt a bit weird since they ask for tip. Felt weird tipping ahead of time? Food came out really quick though which was nice. Again, I don't really like the dumplings, definitely not "one-bite" since the dumplings are huge lol! The entrees were great tho! The Mongolian beef was spicy, surprisingly but very flavorful and delicious. The garlic string beans were yummy but I also didn't care for the bbq pork buns. The bread was just not to our liking and really stick to your teeth/mouth lol. Overall still great spot for the other entrees and I do want to come back and try their black bean fish!

    It was a long wait (we went on a Saturday night, prime time for dinner!) but well worth the wait for a very authentic and delicious dim sum spot! The servers were kind and quick to bring our food out. You order on your phone, on their website and also pay at the same time so it's easy to get in and out (you don't have to wait for a server to bring your check). Very hole-in-the-wall vibes inside but in my opinion that's how you know it'll be good :)

    Grey spot if you're looking for some authentic Asian food. They also have dim sum options. We got those steamed chicken and corn dumplings. They were made fresh and you can taste it. Eggplant and garlic sauce is one of our favorite dishes and it came out perfect not too salty. The portion is also a good size. Instead of ordering a bowl of rice, we opt for the lotus leaf sticky rice, and it was the perfect combination. Service is relatively quick you order on a QR code and pay right on the website making it very easy.

    Pork Xiao Long Bao 猪肉小笼包& lunch combo (Szechuan chicken )
    Poppi L.

    I came here because of the high ratings. And honestly,I think this place is white washed and inauthentic. So sad that I wasn't able to get the yummy experience everyone is talking about. Service:) - The service was the great the two women at the front were super friendly and accommodating. Dumplings :(- Not good at all. I barely touched my food. The dumplings (pork xiao long bao) were sour and the seasonings tasted very off. The wrapping was flimsy-tasted like paper and the texture was slimy. The filling inside was stinky and had a sour-vinegary taste. I asked the servers what the sour taste came from and they assured me no sour ingredients were added so I questioned if they had serve me an old batch, which they denied. I felt crazy and brought it home for my family to try because maybe I my taste buds were just off but they also confirmed that the dumplings tasted awful from the inside out. Other- I also got the lunch combo (Szechuan chicken, egg drop soup, sui mai) and this was pretty below mid- the chicken was hard to chew & dry.

    came here for a lunch stop on our way to Los Angeles. Always a good sign when it's crowded and you can see the person making the dumplings by hand! They do have a lunch special, which sounded great, but was craving some dim sum. Ordered the soup dumpling, which is generous is size, piping hot and very very tasty (especially with a little bit of soy sauce and vinegar), the pork and napa cabbage dumpling (which was our favorite. I'm sure the potsticker version of these would be out of the world too!), the pork bun (which were ok, a little too much bao bun dough, but the meat filling is tasty), the taro bun (so soft fluffy with a subtle taro flavor - really good!), egg custard bun (also so good if you love egg tart filling but in a soft, fluffy bao bun). Lastly we ordered the shumai which is usually one of our favorites, but it didn't stand out or compare with the other dim sum orders. order through the QR code at the table so service is fast and friendly.

    Yummy food and huge portion sizes! Our favorites were the: 1. Shrimp and bacon fried rice 2. Xiao Long Bao 3. Garlic green beans You order and pay from your table/phone at the start and the food comes out quick. The inside is pretty small so I suggest calling before bringing a big group!

TCG Dim Sum Noodle House fills a gap that this area has needed for a long time. As Valencia keeps growing, authentic cultural food spots are still pretty limited -- and this one feels genuinely authentic rather than adapted for American tastes.

Having gone to many great dim sum spots, this felt short. TCG is inside a ghost kitchen, virtual food hall in SCV. The chicken and shrimp shumai, XLB soup dumplings, and the popcorn chicken were all just okay. Popcorn chicken was a bit better than the dim sum. But the dim sum didn't taste very fresh. By the time we started eating them, they tasted quite mushy. There was no sauce for the popcorn chicken. Someone I know has been before on the weekend, they said the popcorn chicken then was amazing. So I don't know if this place makes their food better on the weekends, but just gives us the lesser quality on the weekdays... quite disappointed. If only the food was consistently good.

We came in as a large group, and unfortunately the service didn't match.

    Perfect family dim sum experience for us…read more We took out my parents and in-laws for dim sum: my parents' very first time ever. We did wait about an hour, but honestly I didn't mind at all because it gave us a chance to relax, talk, and catch up as a family.

Smoky, just the right amount of spicy, and addictive. Now for the real test: my in-laws. They've been to *many* dim sum places and are not easily impressed. They declared this place to have the best chicken feet that they've ever had: meat easily sucked off the bone, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and perfectly seasoned. High praise coming from dim sum veterans. Most importantly, my parents' first dim sum experience couldn't have been better.

Instead of allowing us a little bit of time to look at the menu, they just hovered over us, rushing us to tell them what we want. Note: I rarely go for dim sum, so I'm not familiar with the items like others who specifically come for this (like my mom - who felt rushed too). We got 3 items from the cart (4 pieces each), sesame balls, and a plate of beef. How this came out to over $55 is still nuts to me. I absolutely don't mind splurging on food, but this made no sense to me. The food was a 2-3/5 AT BEST. The beef was good, but super overpriced. They don't offer water, only bottles from Costco that they charge almost $2 for. We ordered tea too, please look at my attached photo to see the absolute filth built up on their kettles. The guests dining here were all talking with their mouths full, coughing, and sneezing all over the place. The carts are just sitting around, some of the items are not even covered and they have them placed in a section where they pile up all the dirty dishes from the table clean ups. Question: how does this restaurant have an A? Furthermore, when they brought us a box for leftovers, they placed the dirty checkbook/ tab INSIDE the box. Disaster. Never coming back!

    Came for dinner. We got there around 6p on a week night and it was not full yet but was packed when…read morewe left. Upon entry there is a takeout area where you can order hot meat dishes and to go menu or dine in. We got complimentary hot tea when seated. The interior is a bit dated compared with other restaurants of this type but the food was delicious. We got duck and preserved egg porridge, scrambled egg with shrimp, and a two bbq combo plate of char siu and roast pork. The porridge came out fast and delicious! We ate with the chili and white paper available at the table. Next came the scrambled egg and shrimp. We actually ordered the version with rice, not the entree so the servers got us some rice but missing the gravy. Lastly came the bbq combo plate. We thought it would arrive first since the meats were all ready to go in the takeout area. It came with some hoisin sauce. The char siu was tasty. The roast pork however was not as crispy and kinda mealy so the sauce helped.

    Sam Woo is the only authentic Cantonese spot in the valley my family has found so far…read more Even though they're known for their bbq meats, I would stay away from them as the ones we tried this time and in the past were pretty meh. Stick with ordering dishes off their menu instead. It's next to a Ranch, so there's plenty of parking available. We came by for lunch on Saturday around noon, and it was mostly filled up. It's not a big restaurant, and tables are placed pretty close to each other. That's how you know the place is going to be authentic lol They have a takeout area where you can get various bbq meats and some hot deli foods, but they also have a large menu you can order from. The four of us ordered the following dishes to try: #2 two item BBQ with roast pork and roast duck ($19.95 + $2 for roast pork) #78 chicken and veggie chow mein ($15.95) #85 beef chow fun ($16.95) #129 sauteed fish fillet ($18.95) #138 fresh squid in oyster sauce ($17.95) My favorite dish by far was the beef chow fun, which came as a huge platter and had really good wok hei flavor. The other noodle dish, the chow mein, was also good with huge portions. The fish and squid were both okay, but portions were small for the price, and to be honest, they were pretty similar down to the veggies used. We probably could've just ordered one. The most underwhelming was the bbq. The duck tasted okay but the cut they gave us was mostly bone and didn't have much meat. The roast pork was way too juicy and the skin, which is usually my favorite part due to the crisp, was tough and hard to chew.
