The service was fast and good. The waiter gave us some additional time to go over the menu and returned promptly when we were ready to order. The food came out fast and was hot. Fried rice was not greasy. Restaurant was clean and no wait time. Definitely will come back and try the noodles.

A little bland and doughy for my taste but some people love it. If you like delicate flavors and textures, this place might not be for you.Shrimp and shishito peppers had sickeningly a thick sauce, but tasted fine.Dumplings seemed doughy.Scallion pancakes are enjoyable if you like deep fried stuff.Their veggies however are delicious.I also recommend you ask for a side of mustard if you like spicy.Service was nice and attentive and they only forgo lt one dish.

So the food itself is pretty average. Noodle dishes are not bag but it's a place where you should expect one or two xiao long baos in the tray to be popped by the time it comes to you given carelessness. Would give 3 stars on thisBut the reason I'm giving it one star is because I've experienced here that I've NEVER experienced anywhere else.We're at a table thats 3 smaller tables pushed together with 3 adults and 4 kids. We've just finished most of our order but, while we were eating, ordered a few additional dumplings and were waiting on it. I'm standing up holding a baby so one part of the table has a bunch of empty dishes as well as a jacket, my car keys, and a bag of kids stuff.Someone who I assume is the manager (not a server, hasn't come by before) comes by and says "can I clear this?" and points to the one side of the table that has all the empty dishes. We say sure. She proceeds to take the jacket/keys/kids bag and put it on the other side of the table (still live with some food and pretty messy given...kids), clears off the table she pointed to, and then pushes that entire table to another party. She doesn't see that she puts my personal items onto a part of the table that has soy sauce and my stuff gets dirty.So I'm left standing, I don't have a table to sit back at, and I have my stuff with soy sauce on it. I'm in shock so when she comes by again I just tell her she got my stuff dirty and she says "i'm sorry" and wipes it off with the table rag (its already soaked through) and walks away. Never asks if we were still eating or if food was coming, doesn't ask about my personal items, and just walks away. She doesn't clear the rest of the table so its not like they thought that we were finished. No other interaction with the manager rest of the night.W T F

Horrible experience overall. We waited 35+ minutes for just a small bowl of soup. Waiter didn’t give us menus. This location is understaffed but that’s not all. We waited all that time for average food. Customer service is limited due to the understaffing. If you’re looking for a place to spend 2+ hours waiting for 3 items and terrible customer service… this is this place for you!

I've had take out from here 3 times and eaten at the restaurant once. The food is delicious. The noodles are all fresh and thick and yummy. All the veggies are good especially the green beans and also broccoli. So much garlic. It's expensive but worth it.
My family dines here often and we are always happy with the food here. Our favorites are the Dan Shrimp noodles and the popcorn shrimp. My 4 year old can finish the whole order of the popcorn shrimp by himself. However, I was disappointed with the oxtail noodle soup. I've ordered it the last two times and it was lacking any flavor and the noodles were over cooked, a little mushy. The seaweed tofu salad was delicious, very spicy. Service here is always top notch. We appreciate the attention and atmosphere.

Overall tasty but not standout Chinese food. Dishes were hit or miss for us. Service was excellent. Beautiful restaurant with casual ambiance.Dishes we tried:* pork and crab soup dumpling - 3.5/5Tasty, couldn't really appreciate the crab, good amount of soup filling, perhaps getting the crab may not be worth the extra money * short rib noodles - 3/5 Great noodle texture, can tell these are hand made, but the sauce was too salty and overpowering. Short rib was tasty, overall portion was on the smaller side for the price* mapo tofu - 5/5 Delicious flavor, hearty portions, comes with a side of rice * beef rolls - 4/5 * salt and pepper tofu - 2/5 Not our favorite rendition of this dish: Crisp exterior but inside was dense, also has a sweet taste which isn't a listed ingredient on the menu

Really disappointed the level of quality and service has gone down in a years times from my first finding DM. Ordered the popcorn chicken popcorn shrimp and veggie fried rice. Im now on the toilet with a trash can in my face since I ate this order yesterday. Either the food was not handled or prepared well or something. Seafood and poultry is very delicate to handle. Coming from the food service industry myself its unfortunately typical to expect them possibility of food poisoning these days as most workers don't care. Ppl really don't get it you can seriously harm someone who trusted you to cook a meal. 5:07 am im going back to bed been up sick for a day now.

this spot has the best lo mein I have ever had in my life. They call it dan mein but it its just so delicious I started coming here frequently in order to just get the noodles. I am not joking when I say they are that good they really are in a league of their own and a I must when visiting this restaurant. They will change your life.

I’ve been here for lunch several times and it’s excellent. Xiao Long Bao soup dumplings are the star. Everything else is consistently very good. I know the Playa Vista location gets loud and checkout gets slow when they’re busy on the weekend, but I’ve only been to this Manhattan Beach location during weekdays at lunch and it’s fast and yummy. Good bang for the buck.
