Amazing dumplings there is a reason they have a Michelin star . What's even more supervising is their prices very reasonable especially for OC. You really can't go wrong with any choice - even vegan

DTF in different regions have different variation in menu. Truffles XLB and stir-fried kale is the gem in South Coast. However, Pork XLB , Fried Rice , and Chicken Soup are the must-get items in all DTF

See if you can get on the waitlist via Yelp. If not, brace yourself for a 1hr+ wait. Once seated, get the XLB, pork chop , shrimp fried rice , hot and sour soup , potstickers , and beef noodle soup

Shrimp & Pork Wontons with Spicy Sauce ! Spicy Sauce goes with everything. Also get the Pork & Crab XiaoLongBao , Sauteed String Beans with Garlic , and Noodles with Minced Pork Sauce.

Tiffany L.

Way better than the location in Arcadia. Go on weekdays. Wait time is about 1 hr max for weekday lunch !

S

There is no big options for us since we don't eat pork but the shrimps fried rice , spicy noodles and chicken dumplings were good, service was quick although the place was crazy busy.

Martin D. Ciao

Grand opening was August 18, 2014. Don't forget there is a line to get in the line ! Average wait time should be around two hours total at meal time rush hour. Special item : Truffle and Pork Dumpling !

Ann

French Black Truffle and Pork XLB is truly decadent and a nice variation to their rich Pork XLB !

Jason H.

Excellent bok choy and cucumbers and pork soup dumplings . Regular chicken dumplings were lacking as was the shu mai. Line is crazy long - check in on yelp!

Roger Ma

If you plan on shopping around, put your name down and they'll text you when the table is ready. It can be quite a bit of a wait so get your retail therapy on beforehand.

Dan Guti

Come for dinner . Wait after putting your name and phone number down is about 1.5hrs+ So to make it easier, go 2 hrs before the mall closes and shop till then and eat on your way out after shopping.

Pork Xiao Lung Bao . It's the best thing on the menu and worth every minute you spend waiting for a table. Order plenty cuz it goes quick.

Ross Sheingold

Put your name on the list, then go shopping. They'll text you when your table is ready! Pro tip: check out the combo faucet and hand dryer in the bathrooms .

Bao Ly

Shrimp and pork wontons with spicy sauce . The waiter told me they sell the sauce ala cart for $6. That is how good the sauce is.

Din Tai Fung still has the best xiaolongbao in the world. If you say otherwise you're either stupid or a liar or both.

Edward Forte

Nice atmosphere, can see them make the dumplings , have to try the soup dumplings

Rick Tang

Shrimp and pork wontons in spicy sauce , get it... you won't be disappointed. Check out Claim Jumpers for their happy hour while you wait

Kelley L.

Dumplings are good. The spicy pork and vegetable wontons are the best.

L.D Ferguson

The chicken dumplings and the chicken boneless soup are fantastic

Pam Lin

Sit at the bar if you're solo or two. It's first come first served. No wait at 9:15p for 2 at the bar on a Wed

Adrienne L

Save space for dessert . Sweet taro XLB. Taro lover heaven.

Kaz K.

Xiao long bao , spicy won ton , and shredded pork and pickle noodle soup are my favorite dishes here.

Mary Anderson

Xiao long bao , steamed dumplings , chicken pot stickers , won ton in spicy sauce

Tasteful Traveler

Pork Dumplings , spicy wontons , green beans , iced tea

Ed Dennis

There is a reason that everyone gets the dumplings - they are amazing.

Mark Toledo

Xiao long bao ... You could get the other stuff, but if you came here, there's not a lot of point to ordering anything else.

Catherine Torelli

Soup dumplings are awesome, spicy sauce is perfect. Much closer than Arcadia or Glendale

Minh Le

Complete muppet hostesses . No order at all and can’t seat a single party correctly to save their lives

jenny liang

Wait in the bar line if you're alone. Much faster. The pork Xiao Long Bao is my fav

Siew Khuen Khaw

Get here early to reserve a table before head for shopping.usually wait time is 2 hours.

Adrienne L

They have excellent potstickers too!

Andy Wang

Come early or be prepared for a very long wait

Chris S

XLB were good but not amazing. Shrimp+pork dumplings were incredible. Great food but not worth a 2+ hour wait. Go to your favorite local spot instead. Better XLBs to be had elsewhere without the wait.

Benjamin Fong

Pricey dumplings . But classic food. Reminds me of home. #vancouver #homesick

Rick Larriva

The little dumplings with soup inside are awesome

Michael Chan

Must get the spicy wontons

Chris Go

It is possible to walk in and be seated. We did on a Friday afternoon at least.

Jungwoo Lee

Surprisingly delicious noodle soups !!! And Dimsum of cause!!!!

Trish

seats 175 people. get on line by 9:30AM to be seated immediately at 10AM upon opening.

Tonio Baquiran

juicy pork dumplings and pork chop fried rice bowl ...'nuff said...

Jonathan Ho

You normally wouldn't think kale is Chinese, but it's really good here!

Ann

They take waiting list names until closing and stay open until everyone is served!

Robert Tenney

Pork XLB is best!

Jason Amansec

If you’re here with you and maybe one other person, just go to the bar .

D

Xiao long Bao and shredded chicken rice cake . Good but over priced

Ann

22 minute wait for bar seating on a Wednesday at 8pm! Not bad at all! :)

Nancy Argent

The soup dumplings rock!

Heather B.

Everything is great here!

Tinah Chen

Portions are so small here, other than that it's pretty good. However, the wait time was WAY too long ended up waiting 1 hr 45 min and they didn't even text us. Only got seated when we asked for time.
