An order of XLBs is a must, but save room for their spicy dumplings , noodle dishes & actually, their dessert . My fav is the chocolate dumplings wrapped in mochi with chocolate oozing out the middle.

Great dumplings . the soup dumplings are wonderful! (but don't waste your money on the truffle ones, they're not worth it)

I love the snow cream and pork soup dumplings ! They even offered to demonstrate how to eat them (by nibbling a cooling vent into the top), but given how small they are, it wasn't at all necessary.

Soup dumplings are a must and 10 per person isn’t too many. Also try the string beans and the fried rice . Big, open , and bustling space. Wait for a table is usually long. I waited about 90 mins.

Beautiful spot. Great service. Consistent DTF taste and ambience. Can be a wait but usually not too bad. Recommend the cucumber salad , pork XLB , and vegan noodles .

Steamed chicken dumplings and friend rice is a crowd pleaser. Usually a long wait for a table. Order carry out and enjoy your meal in the beautiful California weather.

Try their soup soup dumplings are what you’re probably here for but give the shrimp fried rice and the spring beans a try, you’ll love it ???? To finish off request the chocolate xiao long baos

Thank GOD you've opened on the Westside... TAIWAN XLB #1!!! ????????????????????☝️

If it’s just two of you, always worth it to see if a seat has opened up in the bar area. You can skip the wait!

Crab and pork soup dumplings . Don’t order anything else. Just eat as many of these as your body and wallet will allow.

sea salt cream green tea (with half the amount of cream)!

Its as good as in any other country ! Try XiaoLongBao with truffles and cucumber !

Very well prepared and flavorful food served as dim sum . Service is a bit disjointed.

The wontons with spicy oil and the potstickers are amazing. The soup dumplings are overrated.

Cool vibe, pleasant surprise. The wonton soup was great.

Long lines , but that’s expected. Great food.

Fresh soup dumplings straight from China. Be ready to spend $$$$

vegetable and mushroom fried rice

Took my nephews here, they had seconds of wonton soup ! Thank you for a lovely lunch

Do not expect hospitality and proper restaurant etiquette! Rules don’t apply equally to customers. The hostess and the people in charge treat people differently based off of how they look.

Its definitely getting overpriced over the years but at least it's on the westside

Make a reservation . Wait times can be over 2 hours. Seriously.

Pork Xiao Long Bao (XLB)

Order online in advance to avoid wait

Soup dumplings are better than most places

Good dumplings . expect a long wait .

Fave: fried rice

There is nothing I had that was not delicious. I think this place is over the top good.

XLB and noodles are great!

Must have chocolate mochi XLB

Two words: SOUP DUMPLING ????????????

Pork XLB , shrimp fried rice .

Was very good but can’t say these are the best dumplings I’ve ever had.
