Chicken Fried Rice
Frankie's D.

Everyone in the know, will know, this place is just as good as the "really expensive" XLB restaurant at the big expensive malls and near Disney with super long lines. The XLBs and fried rice are just as delicious. Granted I don't think they serve alcohol here, but don't let them deter you. The food is fresh and hot. The decor is modern and service is very good. I highly recommend this place for XLB in Rowland Heights. This is the sister branch of Princess Dumplings in Rosemead. Now the secret is out! Enjoy the best XLB this side of town.

pork XLB
Cindy C.

Clean and spacious restaurant with accessible seating and space. Staff were accommodating, courteous, and helpful. Food was mediocre and average. Quality/flavor of food was disappointing comparing to all of the similar restaurants near the area. The XLB skins were thick, Pan fried dumplings were a bit burnt, beef roll was thick and too soft, fried pork chop was bland, beef noodle soup was pretty salty. There was not one food that had any wow factor. It's not terrible but just OK. Some of the food items also took longer than expected for a pretty slow day at the restaurant. The staff and service really made up for what was lacking in food.

Found Princess Dumpling in Rowland Heights last week while we were checking out newly opened restaurants! Then we found out it's actually the sister restaurant of one of our favorite dumpling spots-- Prince Dumpling in Rosemead! We were craving their xiao long bao, but we got there a little too late. Still got to try pan-fried pork buns and other dumplings!! So no worries The scallion oil noodles are another favorite of ours. We came with a big group, so carbs like this pork cutlet and egg fried rice are a must to share. We ordered many great things to share, like veggies. And we highly recommend the crab meat and fish maw soup!! Very generous with the ingredients! The Shanghai braised pork belly is a fatty little devil hahaha And we ended the meal with chocolate xiao long bao! Sweet ending feel like princess Ig: socalhkfoodies

Black sesame XLB
Eileen F.

Came for the XLB but was pleasantly surprised that literally everything else was super tasty, and might I say, better than the XLB? The crab and pork XLB was ok - I wasn't able to taste much of the crab itself and it's pretty steep at $17.99 for only six. Skin was fairly thin but could be thinner. The thing to get here is definitely the beef noodle soup - best qq noodles, large beef portions, and a rich, tasty broth. Their special salad was also a great starter with aromatic flavors. The black sesame XLB was actually one of the best dessert XLBs I've had and is much tastier than their savory version in my option. Skin was thinner, and flavors hit harder. Service was also very kind and friendly - clearly very excited and passionate about the new business. I will definitely be coming back to try their other dishes.

Fried Rice with Shrimp
Diana C.

New SGV spot alert! Princess Dumpling has officially opened in Rowland Heights--and yes, it's the sister restaurant to Prince Dumpling, so you already know the dumplings are worth the trip Here's everything we ordered: Pork Xiao Long Bao -- juicy, soup-filled perfection Pan-Fried Pork Buns -- crispy on the bottom, fluffy on top Rice Cakes with Shrimp -- chewy, savory, and packed with flavor Shrimp Fried Rice -- simple, comforting, and loaded with shrimp Sweet & Sour Baby Back Ribs -- sticky, tangy, and fall-off-the-bone tender Shanghai Braised Pork Belly -- rich, melt-in-your-mouth goodness Green Beans & Baby Bok Choy -- the perfect veggie sides And don't skip dessert because they have sweet soup dumplings! We tried the Chocolate, Black Sesame, and Taro Xiao Long Bao--warm, gooey, and such a fun way to end the meal.

One of the best dumpling spots in Rowland! Loved their pork Dumpling and Thai tea! The best combo! Their service is also on point!

XLB
Esther L.

This is Prince Dumpling's sister restaurant! Prince Dumpling has gained a ton of attention over their made-in-house XLB. The scallion pancake is CRISSSPPYYY. Very tasty. Cucumber salad needed a touch of soy sauce and chili oil for me. XLB taste just like prince dumpling, solid. But for me, the must get items are black pepper beef and garlic green beans. SO addictive. The black pepper beef is nicely caramelized, garlicky, peppery, and very tender. Perfect with a bowl of rice. The green beans taste different than any other Chinese restaurant that does garlic green beans. I taste five spice, but who knows. All I know is it's delicious. They were playing the World Cup game and the restaurant is nice and clean as well. I gotta come back to try the XL XLB, they didn't have it when I went unfortunately. But I will be back for it!

Black pepper beef
Eric L.

This is the newly opened sister restaurant to their highly rated restaurant, Prince Dumpling, in Rosemead. They are still working out the kinks bc their black pepper beef dish is not quite up to par with their Rosemead location. Service here is exceptional, much better than what you usually get at an Asian restaurant.

Pork soup dumplings
Debbie B.

The food was really good and the dumplings are definitely the stand out dish! Staff were very friendly and quite attentive in refilling our water and taking away dishes when we were finished with them. They're currently in their soft opening phase so they had promos going on and even offered us a discount or free dessert~ Also cool to be able to see the kitchen where they were making the dumplings

Rickey Y.

Omg! Princess dumpling is now open in Rowland Heights! I've tried their other locations and it's very good! I love it more than Don Tai Fung for sure. The XLB is juicy and delicious! Servers are so friendly and helpful. I'll definitely come back soon again for more.

Desire N.

If you're craving soup dumplings but don't want the long wait, Princess Dumpling is a must-visit! Often called one of the best alternatives to Din Tai Fung, this spot serves juicy pork and chicken Xiao Long Bao packed with rich broth, crispy pan-fried pork buns with an amazing crispy sesame crust, flavorful spicy steamed wontons, and delicious taro and chocolate dumplings for dessert. The black pepper beef is tender, bold, and packed with savory flavor, while the crispy fried shrimp with rice cakes delivers the perfect mix of crunch and chewy texture. The portions are generous, the prices are budget-friendly, and the spacious dining room is perfect for sharing with family and friends. If you're a dumpling lover, Princess Dumpling definitely deserves a spot on your foodie list!

So yummy! Their pan fried pork bun is super juicy, and their xlb is very good as well. The interior is super cute and clean. The servers were attentive and nice.

Went to Happy Harbor around 11:30am on a Sunday and it was definitely busy, but the wait honestly…read morewasn't bad at all. We waited just a few minutes before we got seated. We were placed in the back room, which felt a little more calm compared to the main dining area. Service was good. Our waiter was fast, friendly, and really on top of things, which made a big difference since it was packed. Ordering is simple, they give you a paper menu where you mark what you want and hand it back. We ordered tea for two and picked a bunch of dim sum: jumbo shrimp har gow, shrimp fried wontons, steamed rice noodle roll with shrimp, baked abalone sauce BBQ pork bun, poached Chinese broccoli, and custard egg tarts. Everything came out fresh and hit the spot. The har gow were plump and juicy, the rice noodle rolls were soft and silky, and the BBQ pork buns had that perfect slightly sweet, fluffy texture. The egg tarts were a great finish--warm and flaky. We did end up only getting 5 out of the 6 items we ordered, but honestly we were already pretty full at that point so I didn't feel like making it a big deal. Also... we were so hungry we totally forgot to take pictures of the rest of the food Overall, a good dim sum spot, however I felt like the prices were a bit higher than the other dim some places I usually go to. Busy but efficient, good food, and friendly service. I'd would come back again!

I've been here a few times now including for a wedding dinner as well as for morning dim sum. The…read morefood is not bad for a standard Chinese restaurant; there's a good, wide variety of options. Dim sum especially the shrimp and shiu mai are decent as well. They are able to host large gatherings with relative ease. One issue I have is that the service can sometimes be lacking. During the wedding dinner, I was the only one out of about 60 people who was carded before getting alcohol poured out for me, and this was in front of everyone. It's not a big deal but it did feel a bit like discrimination for whatever unknown reason, because I was definitely not the youngest looking one by far. When we complained about this, the server stopped but never apologized to me. Not all servers have these kinds of issues, but just a heads up that these things can happen.

We called ahead to confirm they were serving dim sum, and they assured us it ran until 3:00 PM. We arrived at 1:00 PM--two full hours before closing--and the steam carts were practically empty. When we asked for Siu Mai, they told us it was currently "being steamed." We ended up waiting an hour, all while watching a cart lady stand completely still, completely ignoring the floor, and just chitchatting with her coworker. We tried repeatedly to make eye contact and wave someone over, but no one bothered to look our way. When we finally caught the server's attention, she didn't even bother walking over! She literally talked over two tables and said "hi what do you want?!" The absolute kicker? It wasn't until we were completely fed up and visibly getting ready to leave that they rushed over to stamp our dim sum card so we couldn't just walk out, and only then did they scramble to heat up our food. Completely disorganized, wildly rude staff, and a total waste of time. Save your money and go anywhere else.

My go-to food-to-go for dim sum & prepared lunch combo. The dim sum is served when they open at 7…read moream to catch the breakfast customers & the lunch selection starts at about 10 am which gets sold out by around 4 pm. They used to be cash but now accept ATM debit cards. This place does not have a formal name on the outside as it is an off-shoot & hole-in-wall extension of another restaurant next to it which over the years the names have changed several times since they first opened back around 2016 but nevertheless, the food taste & quality has not changed. All food comes from their kitchen. Although their prices have increased due to inflation, it is still very reasonable & not stingy in their servings. Even though the ladies behind the counter mostly speak Chinese, greeting them with a smile gets you a long way with just simple sign language. Getting 3 of their small box at $16.65 total is a meal one can enjoy with a family of 4. In today's food prices, that is a bargain.

PARKING Plenty of free parking in this plaza shared with TS emporium. SERVICE Not the nicest LOLLL you know the Asian aunties and how they are. Cash preferred, not sure if they take card. FOOD Great selection of dim sum like char siu baos, pineapple buns, pork shrimp and chive dumplings, shumai, sesame balls, and more! Delicious combo entrees like fried tofu with soy sauce egg, black bean fish, sweet and sour eggplant, chow mein, bitter melon, and fried chicken. INSIDE Bit chaotic in there with 3 separate lines. One line for the roast duck or crispy pork, middle line for the dim sum, and the furthest right lane for the entrees or sides. OVERALL A family favorite grab and go for delicious dim sum. Pro tip to come earlier for more options as they run out fast!

I visited this restaurant twice before its permanent closure on April 15, 2026. Some dishes were…read moreexcellent, while others were just average. Szechwan DanDan Dry Noodles w/ Peanuts: Excellent. It was a bowl of dry noodles topped with green onions, crushed peanuts, and sesame sauce. It tasted like an upgraded version of sesame noodles with a better texture. Ding's Special Cold Plate: Excellent. This signature appetizer platter was one of the restaurant's best. It included five items: dried tofu, seaweed, pig ear, beef tripe, and spicy beef shank. Fried Pork Chop + Green Mustard Fried Rice + Spiced Eggs: A must-order. The fried rice had great "wok hei" (breath of the wok). The fried pork chop, which had a bit of fat, was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The juiciness and the texture of the melted fat were perfectly handled without being greasy. Shanghai Sesame Fermented Rice Dumpling Soup: A must-order. The portion was huge and enough for four people. It used mini tangyuan (rice balls) with sesame filling, and the combination of osmanthus powder, fermented rice, and egg drop was excellent. Also, it wasn't overly thickened with starch like at other restaurants. Soybean with Bean Curd Leaves: Very good. The moisture was reduced to just the right level, and the flavor was as satisfying as a meat dish. In addition, unlike the cold appetizers served elsewhere, this one was served hot. Braised Pork Belly: Good. It came with two translucent-looking spiced eggs and four pieces of pork belly. The sweet sauce was well-absorbed, and the meat was stewed until it was quite tender with almost no "porky" smell. Overall, it was a good dish, but the version at Blue Magpie in Arcadia is even better. The following dishes were good but not must-tries: Pan-Fried Dumplings, Steamed Dumplings, Stir-fried Rice Cakes, Braised Beef Noodle Soup, Shrimp & Pork Wonton Soup, Fish Fillets in Rice Wine Sauce, and Stir-fried Spinach with Garlic. Steamed Stinky Tofu: Highly not recommended! Is this even Jiangzhe cuisine? It tasted more like Sichuan-style poached stinky tofu. It was way too salty, so much so that I stopped eating after about 60% and didn't even have the desire to take the leftovers home. Shanghai Style Salted Chicken: Highly not recommended! The chicken texture was quite dry, and the worst part was the abundance of small bone fragments. I was afraid to chew too hard for fear of damaging my teeth. 趕在 2026 年 4 月 15 日正式結業前造訪了兩次。整體而言,部分菜色表現亮眼,部分則較為普通。 大合特色擔擔麵:大推。拌入蔥花、花生碎與芝麻醬的乾拌麵,嚐著像口感更精緻的升級版麻醬麵。 攪和攪和:大推,本店必點招牌拼盤。含豆乾、海帶、豬耳、牛肚和麻辣牛腱五種綜合滷味。 醇香排骨雪菜炒飯滷蛋:必點。帶有鑊氣的菜飯,帶點肥肉的炸排,外層酥脆內層軟嫩,汁水感和融化油脂感都處理的極佳且不膩。 上海芝麻酒釀小湯圓:必點。份量頗多足夠四人吃。芝麻小湯圓配桂花蜜與酒釀蛋花。此外,完全不像其他店家會摻過多勾芡。 雪菜毛豆百頁:很不錯。水分收得恰到好處,美味完全不輸葷食。此外,不同於一般常見的冷盤做法,這道是以熱菜呈現,更有鑊氣。 紅燒肉:不錯。含兩顆晶瑩剔透的滷蛋與四塊燒肉;甜口醬汁入味,肉質燉煮得夠軟爛且幾無豬腥味,整體水準不錯。只是,阿凱迪亞的藍鵲仍稍勝一籌。 中規中矩但沒到非吃不可:生煎包、小籠包、炒年糕、牛肉麵、蝦豬大餛飩、糟溜魚片、蒜蓉炒菠菜。 蒸臭豆腐:超雷絕不推薦!這是江浙菜嗎?怎麼嚐著像川式水煮臭豆腐。太鹹了,鹹到我只吃了六成左右就不碰了,連打包帶走的慾望都沒有。 脆皮鹹水風雞:非常不推!雞肉口感偏柴,最討厭的是,容易吃到細小碎骨,我都不敢大力咀嚼怕傷牙。
