“So good!! Food: Amazing. I ordered the assorted yaki gyoza (veggie pork chicken and shrimp) and it was so good I ordered 6 more pork gyoza. Perfectly cooked with a nice crisp to the bottom, amazing flavor, and so juicy. They have different ways to prepare, I think yaki, maybe steam (don't quote me) and in the soup. The soup was also really flavorful and good (and hot haha watch out). They also have a ton of side sauces to choose from, but I love the basic ponzu. Better gyoza than a lot of ramen shops (IMO those usually have too much garlic) and reminded me of great gyoza spots in japan. Price: dude so cheap. I bought food for two people: an assorted bento, an assorted 6 piece, rice, and edamame for around $30. Ambiance: super chill, decent amount of seating, not super loud and can have convos easilyCustomer service: super friendly, explains everything, super cute drawings on the containers, quick as well.I think it's fairly new so business is still trickling in. Hoping they thrive so that I can keep coming back, I'll definitely be craving this again very soon.“
“What an awesome little restaurant that popped up here. Was looking to try something new and found this amazing little bao spot. The most amazing thing is how they fry these bao. The bottom is hard and crunchy and the top is soft, making a soup filled bao in either seafood, curry or the standard pork. They sell them in quantities of 6 and 2 to 3 is enough to fill me! Highly recommend a quick lunch or dinner here, you won’t be disappointed in the authentic flavors.“
“I sampled their famous xiao long bao, delicious dumplings, savory fried rice and garlic string beans. Each dish was a taste experience, from the delicious dumplings in broth to the perfectly seasoned fried rice. The service is great and the atmosphere is inviting. Don't miss this place for authentic Taiwanese cuisine and unforgettable flavors. It has the taste of home.“
“First time trying dim sum around this area and it did not disappoint. Came here on a Monday afternoon and there was no wait. The waitress seated us right way. The food came out quickly and was piping hot so you know it's fresh out of the kitchen. The food and drinks were served with paper plates but don't let that fool you because the food was delicious. I'm a big fan of the chicken feet, it might be scary to others by the looks of it but it's very flavorful. The baked BBQ Pork bun with puff pastry was my favorite as well, the sweetness of the bbq pork and the puff pastry is a sweet and savory combination that you must order. The Scallops Pork Shrimp Siu Mai was something I never tried before. Scallops in a siu mai? I never had it before but after tasting this combo, I've became a fan. The Sticky Rice Seafood Shrimp Ball was an unique item that was filled with shrimp, and sticky rice with a bouncy texture that I never thought that I would like but ended up enjoying. I also tried the egg tarts, rice noodles with shrimp, green leek dumplings, sesame ball with red bean, deep fried dumpling and baked BBQ bun all were solid and a staple at dim sum places. There was plenty of parking in the underground parking lot. Service was face and friendly. I would definitely be returning again for dim sum.“
“This is a nice and simple no frills place, you go in, you point to what you want and they package it for you to go. No sit down area. I didn’t see a menu explaining any of the dishes, so I was a little confused on what to do when I initially arrived. Please be prepared to order when it’s your turn, otherwise it might be a little intimidatingThe food though, so good and good price for dim sum with great flavors“
“The size of everything is double the size of normal dim sum. Their portion size is crazy be careful how much you order! Food is made to order! Comes out piping hot!! The food is 100% authentic. So delicious HUGE! Great jasmine tea. Funny and friendly staff. Clean inside. We had sooo much left overs. Plenty of seating. AC. I will definitely come back again. Again. And again.“
“I've been coming here since 2018, and I come here at least once every month. For me, it's the only restaurant I visit consistently! As I get bored with most places I eat at. The food is great, but be warned, bring a buddy bc they serve you feast style. You can't just get one side. You gotta get a minimum of 3 sides, and so bring a person with you to enjoy it fully! Nice and quiet, and has an old-school feel without all the drab. I really live eating here! The dumplings are great! I recommend uuhhh any of them!“
“Our experience with Aldo was fabulous! he was professional, courteous, and a wonderful server. He made our experience at Chinchin incredibly pleasant, and I would say he is among the best that I have experienced here in the many decades that I have been coming to Chin chin. We will definitely come back and hope to see Aldo again soon. Thank you!“
“Solid dim sums close to UCLA! This is my first time seeing fried red oil wontons and they blew my mind! Each wonton comes with generous amount of shrimp in it and they're so juicy they squirted when I bit into them! The outside is thin and crispy, and the red ou drizzled on top is flavorful and aromatic. The chive dumplings are solid too. The soup dumplings however disappoint. Their skin is too thick and lack chewiness. Also it's a red flag that they come in tin foil cups. The service is ok and the ambiance is honestly bad because they're all outdoor seating right next to the roadside without any decoration. I think the items are slightly overpriced considering that they all come in plastic containers and disposable utensils and packet dressing.“
“I loved it. The dessert sesame paste filled buns are amazzzzing.I would only suggest they ask you first if you want ice in your drink, because its brought with ice by default (like anywhere else here ?) and it would be nice to remind you that they could make it withouht it.“
“We had a great experience at Dumpling House! 4 adults and 4 children ordering lots of things. The service was wonderful and the owners were so friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious and came in good time. The ambiance was calm with soft colors and cute decor. Mostly, we just felt at home and left so full and so happy. I can't wait to come back.“
“This place is great, I came across this restaurant while spending some time in the area. I wish they had another location closer to me, but now it's my treat whenever I'm in the area! Food and service has been excellent every time I've been there!!“
“Ordered lunch special the Zi ran lamb and baby bok choy with mushrooms. The Paradise desire and salt n pepper fish from regular menu. All the dishes tasted very good.forgot to take photos b4 eating. Excellent service A very cozy spot with 8-10 tables I guess. Clean restroom with adequate supplies. Want to try the Peking duck and other dishes next time around.“
“The service was excellent and we were seated quickly. The server offered some of their personal favorites and most popular dishes and they were all excellent. The dumpling soup was also to die for, but the highlight of my meal was the spicy prawns and spicy chicken dumplings. We have wanted to visit this place for a long time and we can say with confidence that we will come here often!“
“I visited this place for the first time with my teenage daughter. The staff were very friendly and after eating a few things made me want to eat more. We ate more than usual, but we were satisfied enough that we had no regrets. I want to visit again with other acquaintances.“
“My husband and I have been coming here for years now. We love their food. We especially love their wonton soup, spicy eggplant and house fried rice. The owner is great. He's very friendly and always checks on us to make sure we're happy at every visit. We will not stop coming here. Happy Chinese new year.“
“Still has a typical chinese vibes, covered clothed tables and chairs, private dining area, fish tank at the entrance. Came in-between lunch and dinner time and there was no one dining in person, of course we came at not a typical time for dim sum (if anything it is late, so no carts) - most were to go orders. Food was good for being at the Westside. It definitly serves to satisfy dim sum cravings. Everyone was tentative and friendly. Hope this place continues to excel. With valet, $3 parking at this time.“
“Dining at Tasty Noodle House is like a "Choose Your Own Adventure" novel: your experience of the restaurant is largely dictated by the items you choose to order. Some choices lead to utter disappointment. For instance, you might be shocked when you notice that your beef chow mein only contains three pieces of meat or that your sweet and sour pork is mostly fried batter in a sickly sweet sauce. Other decisions might lead to pure gastronomic delight. For the most part, I have not been let down by the Chinese chives with dried bean curd, the eggplant and mushroom with basil, the ginger scallion beef, the grilled Shanghai pork buns, and the dumplings. Finding the right combination of dishes can be hit or miss, but it's worth it when you discover something you enjoy.Here are some things I've learned through trial and error:- DON'T expect dishes that combine vegetable, noodles, and/or meat to have a lot of protein - DO come prepared for oilier food than you might be used to- DON'T expect their online ordering platform to work; it's easier just to call for a pick-up order- DO give Tasty Noodle House a try“
“We love coming here for dim sum for years. Now, with new ownership and the addition of soup dumplings, it becomes a go-to place in LA. San Gabriel may still have the best dim sum, but CBS is a closer drive with a good choice of freshly made dim sum.“
“Mama Lu's Dumpling House is a fantastic option for anyone seeking a delicious and authentic Sichuan dining experience. The extensive dumpling selection, flavorful dishes, and focus on quality ingredients make it a hidden gem in Chinatown. The restaurant is small and casual, with basic décor and seating so the focus here is on the food, not the ambiance. Also be prepared for a cash-only policy. There's an ATM nearby, but it's best to come prepared to avoid any surprises. and a simple, no-frills atmosphere.“
“Unexpectedly found this branch of the Northern Cafe chain here in Brentwood area while we were here this weekend so it was much more convenient to just stop on than drive off in the unusually rainy weather to seek dinner elsewhere. It's located in a nondescript commercial building right up along Wilshire Blvd. at the end of a row of small storefronts. Probably can have outside seating when sunny. Inside it was a nice spacious space. Overall felt nice and not crowded with tables of anything. Immediately greeted by the only wait staff who let us seat ourselves as he finished a call-in order and then brought menus over to us. We ended up ordering beef noodles which I'd say was an 8/10 overall. Nothing special but points for noodles being properly cooked and soup being tasty. Just the right amount of beef and veggie. Also had the String beans which we pretty much polished off which were good. And also a Shanghai Fried noodle which despite taking a bit longer because they had to make a fresh batch of thick noodles before making the fried noodles -had excellent taste and was nice and piping hot when it arrived. Overall was a very good meal“
“Visiting LA, unexpected amazement from delivery. Would recommend everything on menu. Bold and unbelievable flavors. Could not stop eating. Ordered with the two pickiest eaters I know (4 and12 year old girls) and the loved every bite! ❤️“
“I truly enjoy that this establishment is still going strong over the years. Ordered takeout here and was impressed by the large portions. My only complaint is that they go a little too heavy on the sugar / corn syrup. Chinese style eggplant with garlic shouldn’t be that sweet! The beef chow fun and fried shrimps were lovely.Otherwise though loved it here and order here regularly :)“
“Came here for dim sum, as that's what it's known for. Ixlb has a few locations including this one in Hollywood. Located close to all that fun stuff just to the east on Sunset. A typical fast casual concept. This is a place you order on the screens and it's ready in a few minutes. A chain restaurant feel to it, but there's only a few locations around the city. It's for sure not authentic Asian, but it's not that bad to be honest. The menu is kind of limited in choices, which helps limit the waiting. Ordering is done all by the customer. You choose the items by using the screens, and then you pay for it there. It's about $5 for the dim sum. The Vegetable Dim Sum is the choice for vegetarians. Basic looking. These are pretty good size and filled though. Gets better with the chili oil, good stuff to dip into. The rest of the menu has things like chicken and others. For a fast food type of place it's not bad. It's actually pretty good in terms of flavor and price. There's a limited menu but there's some things for vegans and vegetarians.“
