Had lunch here and it was just ok. We had a few different dishes and dumplings of course. Not good, not bad, just very average.They have indoor and outdoor seating. The service was fast.

The staff is polite and the food was pretty satisfying. I tried their appetizer pork buns and it was delicious as well as their soup dumplings and also tasted pretty great. It's a quiet and a chill place to be at. Will be returning to try more of their menu

This is the best food I've ever eaten, the dumplings are amazing, the service here is amazing. Very friendly and the place is very clean. Honestly I don't know why this place isn't packed as it should be. Definitely recommend!!!

Maybe I'm a little biased after having grown up and lived in or near the San Gabriel Valley for close to 35 years, but after moving away I've yet to find another Chinese place that meets my standards for Chinese food and unfortunately this place was no exception. Imagine my delight when one of the first reviews I read exclaimed their Spicy Beef Noodle Soup as "as close to authentic you can get!" No, just no. Soup: bland. Next to no flavor. The soup should be savory, spicy, and slightly sweet. This soup barely registered a flavor above water. I got the hand pulled noodles. Weirdest, most uneven noodles I've ever eaten. Meat, hard with no flavor. And no suan cai (pickled sour cabbage), which is a very common addition to beef noodle soup - so common that, from my experiences, a lot of restaurants just have it sitting on the tables with the other condiments. I asked for it both in English and Chinese and my waiter seemed very confused...? I also got the pork potstickers. Only flavor here: salt. Lots of it. Got one packet of soy sauce for about a dozen potstickers, which in the end didn't matter because I could only make it through one and a half potstickers before deciding that they sucked too much to continue. Also got one small plastic container of chili sauce - but no vinegar or sesame oil or any other traditional dipping condiments for dumplings, xlb, or potstickers. I looked around at all the other tables and no one had any of these, which leads me to believe they don't exist in this establishment. Also got the brown sugar milk tea with boba. Milk tea was good, boba was hard. And a mango smoothie for my partner, no complaints there. Overall, $47 not including the tip. And here is why I almost never go out to eat anymore. $47 for barely edible food and two drinks. Consensus is, if you want actual, legitimate Chinese food that tastes authentic, this place ain't it. One star each for the drinks and the service, which were both good.

I usually get their food and it’s five star!! But today I placed an order for dumplings and fried rice. To my disappointment the fried rice was cold. This would have made sense had my order been sitting there for a while. However, I got there and waited a bit to get my order. Anyhow, I hope this was a one off and not establishing a pattern. Please don’t disappoint Dumpling Master!!
This has been my most recent go to place since there is no DTF locally. I've always been impressed with the XLB as we've ordered to go. My husband and I had a kid free night and I was ecstatic and craving some XLB. We decided to dine in. I was a bit bummed and so was my husband that they don't have really any veggies to offer. The menu is really small and lacking. We ordered the fried rice with egg ($7.99), chicken chow mein ($15.99) and 3 XLB dumplings (6 per order at $9.99). The fried rice didn't taste fried really but was good. My husband liked the chicken cow mein but I wasn't a fan. The XLB weren't as good as I had had in the oast. The dumplings didn't melt in my mouth like they used to or like the DTF ones do. It felt like something was different about them. Had to request ginger, more soy sauce and red pepper sauce cause one of each is not enough!!! So stingy they are getting. I love all 3 to add a kick to my rice and XLB. Service at first was lacking. No greeting upon entering, not quick to ask drink order. But eventually they started coming along and it was a dead evening at 5:30 on a Monday. But they are friendly and smile and refilled our waters quite a bit. Music was odd and a bit loud. Couldn't decipher if it was foreign or American. Not a fan of the plastic utensils and chopsticks are a bit bulky in my opinion. I had a hard time picking up my dumplings with them that I ended up "scooping" them up with my plastic fork. My husband broke his fork while eating is chow mein. I'm rather bummed as I had hoped for a better dine in experience and chose the dumpling route over a more romantic restaurant for date night. Also wish they served alcohol. Tonight an adult beverage to relax, chill and eat with my hubby would have been an added pleasure this evening. Or even a desert at the end but none of that is available.

The food was spectacular. The dumplings were very well done and the shrimp inside of them was generous. The service was great. We were constantly being checked on. The atmosphere was really nice.I ordered a mango smoothie, and it was probably the most real tasting mango smoothie I’ve ever had. You could tell that they used real mangoes instead of artificial sweeteners. I highly recommend it.

I want to go with 4.5 stars on this one - I came looking for xiao long bao, but they have signs up announcing they now have it, so it’s a recent addition to the menu. I still wanted them, so I still went for it, and they were fine, but I’d say their other dishes were definitely the stars! I had the cucumber salad and the beef roll - both very good. Pretty quiet on a Sunday evening and quite fast service! Would come again!
