    Excellent and authentic Shandong and Qingdao style north Chinese cuisine! Carb lovers delight! Soup and dumplings were all excellent, steamed and pan fried alike! Their cold dishes were a surprise highlight, especially the garlicky cucumber dishes and seaweed salad. Home style deliciousness! This is a bistro style venue, so come in and eat and jet! Great takeaway and frozen dumplings options too, all handmade goodness!

    In a world today where every restaurant is trying to stand out from others via either gimmicks, price tricks, or some other type of marketing, Qing Dao stays true and original to what a restaurant truly should be focused on- food quality and taste. There are no big fancy signs, no expansive menus, and no combos or lunch specials. What you get is dumplings, noodles and wontons that is served in the most organic, and original way, with taste that is reminiscent of my childhood, when I would go to a communal owned food dining hall after school and get a plate of traditional northern dumplings and wontons. As you are eating them, you take note of the ladies that is actually hand making them, from the dumpling wrap to the fillings, while conversing lively about their lives. Nothing is commercialized here, just good people, making good dumplings, buns, and noodles. This is what eating dumpling is all about imo- original, traditional, and communal. If you ever find yourself craving for some northern dumplings, and find your self in Monterey park, please come and experience what a truly, authentic and original northern dumpling shop is like at Qing Dao. Price is very reasonable.

    Pan fried bao pork leek and shrimp $14 / Oct 2024
    Kary T.

    Cozy space with big kitchen and ample seating, Cash and mandarin-language preferred. Menu is translated into English and you just mark what you want (like dim sum places without carts). Shared plaza parking lot that was easy on a Sunday afternoon. I tried the boiled lamb dumplings and pan fried baos with pork, leek, and shrimp. The lamb is a little gamey, juicy, and full of chives in a thickish dumpling skin (almost like linguine?). Pan fried baos had a nice ratio of filling to bao and the crispy bottom and skirt was a real treat. I wish there was more pork and a bit of salt; the shrimp seemed more like crayfish/prawn in texture/color. Both were great with the potent (raw) garlic sauce, chili oil, and vinegars on the table. I'd come back again to try other things.

    Pork tongue with garlic sauce
    Ying A.

    This is a cash only small restaurant. Owners and staff only speak Mandarin, but they are very friendly. The size of the dumplings is quite large. They are not just large in size but are very fresh and juicy. Most important, we fell in love with their special garlic sauce ( the taste is quite strong in terms of spiciness, so it may not fit everybody). We also ordered pork spare rib noodle soup and pork tongue. Both are delicious. Give it a try if you wanted to try Chinese ShangDong food!

    Fried Pork Leaek Dumplings
    Jonathan L.

    Comfort food done right! I thought the bowl of noodles would be too big but end up devouring them with ease. The dumplings wtih the garlic sauce were amazing. I know where to go next time I need to load up on frozen dumplings. They don't really speak much English, but the menus have english and ordering was simple and quick.

    Pie with Leeks, Eggs, & Dried small Shrimp
    Sid D.

    This place is hole in the wall! It is easy to miss this place when you driving by but their food is really good. We came across this place on 100 places to eat in SGV and I had to give it a shot! We got pork with leak and shrimp dumplings, pie with leeks, eggs, and dried shrimp, and Marinated beef tendon with garlic. All the dishes were cooked to its perfect and flavors were excellent! Their service was quick and they were great at hospitality. As mentioned in other review - language could be a barrier but I was able to point it out what we wanted and no problem with ordering food. It seems to be family run business and I like to support such businesses. Definitely recommend this place if you are looking for food similar to Qing Dao region of China!

    Boiled Pork & Leek & Shrimp Dumplings
    Jamie S.

    Worth the try: any of the dumplings! Tip: the owners / staff don't really speak English but don't let that stop you from trying this place out Bonus tip: Yes they take card now! Boiled Pork Leek Shrimp Dumplings: huge dumplings, comes with 12 and enough to feed 2 people. Super juicy and flavorful! Served with a potent (yet delicious) garlic sauce that leaves you tasting garlic for the rest of the day (but not in a bad way). Pig Lips & Cucumber: cold appetizer, comes with tonssss of meat. Love how refreshing yet flavorful the cucumber is with all the garlic sauce. PARKING: street and lot parking available nearby ATMOSPHERE: small shop, primarily good for to-go orders I was craving some dumplings and was so happy to try this hole-in-the-wall place out. Their dumplings are HUGE. HUUUGE. I really enjoyed the boiled/steamed dumplings even though I usually get fried at other places. Stop by this place and support your local mom and pop shops!

    Most were ruptured as such
    Tre C.

    Based purely on food (although employee that answered our call was pretty rude too). Lamb dumplings - absolutely flavorless, way overcooked, dumpling skin was mushy and ruptured on majority of the dumplings. Pork intestines (usually my favorite thing to eat) - not cooked properly to render the interior fat so there was just huge blobs of fat in every piece. Texture was terrible (I love intestines in all forms usually). Jellyfish - what jellyfish?! The entire dish was mainly cabbage. Also flavorless. Marinated beef shank - what marinade? It tasted like boiled beef. Millet porridge had clumps of dough. I really had high hopes for this place.

    Pork and pickled cabbage pan fried dumplings
    Jimmy L.

    Revisited this place for the first time in a few years and is really delicious and among the best dumplings in the SGV. The boiled pork/leek and pan fried pork/cabbage dumplings are both delicious and also their style of pan fried buns were unlike anything I've had before. Also, what really puts it all over the top is their signature garlic dipping sauce which is VERY garlicky in the best way possible. It is a bit of a dive and just has a few tables inside. Service is friendly and quick. They bring you a paper menu to fill in and order from, and bring out food as it comes. Definitely a must visit for dumpling fans.

    The pork and leek dumplings were delicious. Service was fast. There isn't much seating, I opted for takeout.

Ordered the potstickers, the spicy wontons, the beef noodle soup, and then jiajiang noodles. In order of preference, it is the spicy wontons, the jiajiang noodles, the potstickers, and then the beef noodle soup. What they got right with the spicy wontons was the sauce - spiced, kinda spicy, sour, and also sweet. I could use that sauce on everything. The jiajiang noodles was just a good combo of cool from the cucumbers and the noodles and minced meat were good. The beef noodle soup was fine but I think the soup could've packed a bigger punch. It felt almost watered down but I say the piece of beef were great. Overall, the meal came out to around $65 and it is pretty standard now but $13 for 8 wontons or 8 potstickers just feels a bit nuts still. Overall though, it was a solid meal and I'd recommend coming

Eclectic and cozy with stunning pop art and mid-century seating, it feels more like an art gallery than a restaurant. And the food? Absolutely addicting. The Guizhou-Szechuan fusion dishes are packed with bold, authentic flavors. The sour soup fish is a nostalgic delight: tangy, spicy, and perfectly balanced. The kung pao chicken is juicy with a unique Sichuan twist that sets it apart from anywhere else. Leo, the owner, is a visionary with a story as unique as his tattoos. You can tell he's poured his heart into this place.
