1st dumpling N noodle - Noodles Near Me - Anaheim, California

best dumplings I have ever had. Restaurant was clean, staff was really friendly and food was great! definitely coming back.

Best dumplings ever. Great place to eat, very clean. There were 10 people in our group.

Excellent food. Decently priced. As good as Din Ti Fung without a 90 minute wait. Service staff is nice. Very accommodating. I'm not impressed with the owner (thin older man) but the staff is nice. I heard the owner arguing with the tenants that live upstairs. They leave the door open after dumping trash and that can lead to vandalism or burglary. Not safe. read more

Don't be fooled. If you looked outside the business, it doesn't look like a whole lot. But this place was great. This business replaced a former Ruby's (RIP delicious shakes). I was impressed by how nice the inside was remodeled, and they were quite busy. Despite being busy, we were helped quickly and served quickly. We ordered the broccoli with garlic, steamed chicken and corn dumplings, and udon noodles with chicken. We also ordered strawberry teas. We found everything to be delicious and want to return soon to try more items. The menu can be a little overwhelming with all the options but it is nice to have all of those to choose from. The food arrived in increments, all quickly and piping hot and delicious. The staff was very friendly as well. read more

Solid spot for Chinese food/takeout! I'd come back to try more dishes. What we got this time: Pork chop fried rice: This was our favorite. Pork chop was really good. My hubby thought the fried rice could use more flavor but I liked it Chilli wonton with shrimp and pork: different from the Din Tai Fung one but still good Beef with green beans: good, classic but not a standout read more

A great alternative to always crowded Din Tai Fung and it's so close to me . Their parking lot is shared with a Tesla charging station so that's very convenient . I can charge and grab a bite. Ambience is nice and the restaurant is clean, there are remnants of the previous Ruby's diner. Service was attentive and friendly! The chili oil chicken wontons were my favorite. I ordered extra sauce because it was so delicious, I poured it on my Xiao long bao too. The Dandan noodles were good but I think I should've ordered the beef rice cake stir fry instead. For dessert, I got the fried sesame balls with red bean paste. They were perfectly fried and crispy outside and gooey soft inside like a mochi but I wish it had more red bean paste. I will def come back to try other dishes. read more

The ambiance and setting is very nice. The lighting is great and the colors really come together. I came with a party of 5 and there was a large water polo team who came in right after us. Service slowed down a little bit due to the influx of customers, but overall they still worked quickly. The prices are quite affordable, but I think you really get what you pay for. The noodle soups were lacking flavor in my opinion. I had to had soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil to get significant flavor into my broth, even though I ordered the house special spicy beef soup. I tried my girlfriend's broth (she got the original beef noodle soup) and I felt the same way about the flavor. The dumplings were decent for the flavor. I would recommend focusing on the dumplings when you go here. Lastly, unfortunately the servers forgot our order of hot and sour soup and they also forgot to give us 3 out of 5 waters. 3/5 I would recommend if you love dumplings but don't expect to have your world rocked with flavor. read more

Second visit. On our first, we ordered din sum to go. It took a while, but it tasted fresh and was solid. The spicy wonton is really good. The sesame balls were right on. BBQ pork buns were okay. For our second visit, we ate in and the service was really good. Food came out quickly and tasted fresh. String beans were fantastic and the rice noodles with chicken was a solid dish. So why five stars? Okay, it's not Din Thai, but they don't have Din Thai prices. The restaurant is new and they have some kinks, but they have an overall good process that will get better over time. Also, the restaurant is located in the old Ruby's diner and I would like the place to be successful just for the sake of the beautiful building. If you want good food at a good price and dine in a really interesting building, you need to come here and try it out. You will not be disappointed. read more

Really really delicious food! Sadly I was only able to take one photo because I got excited lol We ordered the fried rice, both steamed and fried pork dumplings, and siu mai dumplings. The server was incredibly nice and suggested we leave room for dessert and ordered the chocolate and mochi dumplings. So glad we took her advice! Just the perfect balance to end the meal! read more

1st dumpling N noodle - Boiled dumplings. - Noodles Near Me - Anaheim, California

Here's my honest review! Food: Honey walnut shrimp 5/5. The shrimp was crunchy, with a bit of sweetness. I love it! Young Chow fried rice 3/5. The rice was dry and chewy. Kurobota pork & shrimp Xiao Long Bao 3/5. The meat filling was too small. Steam shrimp & Pork Siu Mai 3/5. The wrapper was so thick with a small filling Hot and sour soup 4/5. Egg drop soup 4/5. Service: 5/5. The food arrived at our table quickly. The only issue I have is that the person who served the soup almost dipped her finger in the soup. She should've placed the small bowl on a saucer to avoid her finger almost touching the soup. The price: fair and reasonable. Ambiance: the tables and chairs they added in the middle are overcrowded. read more

I'm so happy to find this gem near me! They just opened 3 months ago and food was absolutely delicious. Forget about din tai fung, come here for juicy XLB instead. We also got their pan fried buns 生煎包, chili oil wontons 紅油抄手, scallion pancake, spring rolls, and noodles. Every single dish was cooked perfectly (and I don't say this lightly since I grew up in Hong Kong!). I especially love their chili oil wonton because the dumpling skin is very bouncy. The XLB also doesn't have a thick top which makes the texture very soft and wonderful. Staff are very friendly and can speak Chinese. They gave us some free sesame balls since we ordered so much! It's also a big restaurant so it's very spacious. Decor is very nice too. Will definitely come back!!! read more

This place is really good! Was a ruby diner before and they converted to a dim sum / Chinese restaurant. The place is spacious with easy parking. Shared the parking with a Tesla charging station so very convenient if you drive one. We got shrimp and pork sui mai, Pan fried dumplings, beef rolls and chili wonton. Food came out fairly quickly and all tasted great. Also the people working there were really nice. Will repeat. read more

Ordered to-go and was impressed overall. Paid around $70. The chicken wonton soup was a 10/10, chili oil chicken wontons 10/10, marinated cucumber salad 10/10, and the steamed beef and onion dumplings were also a 10/10. The fried cheese wontons were good as well, around a 7/10. The only item I wasn't a fan of was the house special chicken wings (3/10). When I cut into them, they were much pinker inside than I was comfortable with. They may have been fully cooked, but I didn't want to take the risk, so I threw them away. They also didn't seem very flavorful from what I could tell. Everything else was delicious. The customer service was decent, parking was easy, and the restaurant itself is very large inside. I ordered takeout this time, but I'd definitely like to dine in during a future visit. One thing I really appreciated was the variety of options for people who don't eat pork. That's not always easy to find, and they had plenty of choices. Overall, the food was excellent, and I'll be back to try more items from the menu. My true rating is 4.5 read more

Great service! It made the experience worthwhile. Our server forgot our Shu Mai but brought it eventually. It was good. The filling had the inconsistent texture of shrimp and pork that makes it authentic. Our beef chow mein was fine - nothing special but exactly as advertised. The drink prices (milk tea, iced tea. Etc) are low enough that I actually ordered one and it was excellent. Seriously, the service is so friendly and accommodating it makes we want to come back sooner rather than later. read more

We had just finished a day on Disney and were craving some DTF. The wait times at DTF were long so I opted for 1st dumpling N noodle instead. The best idea I've had on my trip yet. This place is arguably BETTER than their large chain restaurant counterpart. Price and quality wise. The waitresses were very attentive and funny too. RC1. Beef Stir Fry Rice Cake The beef was soooo tender and the rice cakes are perfectly cooked and chewy. The entire dish was well seasoned. X1. Sakura Pork XLB Good dumpling skin and texture. We got the dumplings (boiled) and the N7. Noodles with scallion oil too. The noodles are cooked well and had a great bite to them. We will be back! read more

It is rare for me to walk out of a restaurant, but today was an exception. From the moment we were seated, we were not given menus for about 10 minutes until I asked for them. We placed our order and asked for a cup of ice for our water, but needed to ask again because we weren't given it. They served our pan fried dumplings without the rest of our order which included beef roll and vegetable egg rolls. As we waited, we noticed customers who came in after us getting their food before us. We cancelled the order and closed the check with the one item because it turned out our order wasn't being prepared. They are having a soft opening, so hopefully they will learn from the mistakes that happened here. The staff were friendly and apologetic - which is why this isn't a one star review. Unfortunately, I won't return because there are better restaurants closer to where I live. read more

Food is very good and the service is exceptional! Definitely a fan of the xiao long bao and the garlic string beans :)

We were very excited to try this new Dim Sum spot in Anaheim. Prices were fair and service was quick! Our server apologized for the wait but everything came out hot and fast! Loved the Mongolian beef, very flavorful and lots of meat to share. The green beans were fresh and crunchy. The wonton soup was okay for us, added some sauces and made it better for our taste but the wontons were huge and yummy! The fried rice was a large portion and the pork tender. The XLB was the highlight of course. We ordered the pork and shrimp XLB and couldn't wait to dig in. This is an authentic dim sum experience. Active kitchen and servers ready to get everything out quickly and efficiently. They've only been open a month, but we were pleased with our service and food. Interior was clean and nice seating seemed adequate for their space. We will definitely be coming back. read more

Ordered take out from here and picked it up myself, order was ready when I got there after 25 minutes. Staff inside was very friendly and the space was clean and ready to serve a lot of people. The food was tasty, we ordered: Orange chicken Pork dumplings Shrimp pan fried dumplings House chow mein Cream cheese wontons Broccoli beef Rice Pretty standard pricing for places around here, maybe cheaper than the noodle house on Euclid. Definitely excited to go back and eat on site. read more

Everything was amazing! I'm already thinking about the next time I can come back. The service was fast and we got seated right away. Food came out within 5-10 minutes after ordering.

Was excited to try a new Chinese food restaurant that was close! Anaheim is truly lacking in great Chinese food.. was hoping this would fill the gap. Did it? Not really All in all I'd say the food was "fine". Not great. Not horrible The menu is huge. Dumplings. Noodle soup Dim sum. & Standard American/Chinese fair. We ordered salt and pepper pork chop. Not salty. Not crispy. Boney. Not spicy. "Fine" Won tons in chili oil. Pretty lack luster. The chili oil had a weirdly sweet quality to it. Dumplings were your standard won ton soup dumplings.very soft Beef roll- again. "Fine". It was probably the best thing of the dinner.. but Noodle st has theirs beat We ordered sparingly. Thinking we might order more. But decided to just stop there once we tried the dishes we ordered Service was fantastic. Really cheery and friendly. Fast too. One thing that I will call out... that damn bell the cook rings when a dish is ready to be picked up. It's loud and resonates through the dining room. It's pretty unpleasant Restaurant on the inside didn't change much from its Rubys days. And that's fine. It's clean and appealing So .. food. Three stars Service five stars Over all four stars. Generous.. but I want to see the place succeed and will give it a second chance. Still waiting for a great Chinese food place in Anaheim .. read more

Came in during their soft opening last week since we needed a soup dumpling fix but didn't want to wait for a table at Din Tai Fung. We heard that this place was open from our neighborhood community group and was excited to come try it out. The restaurant is spacious and we were happy to see that several of the tables were already occupied since this place was just in soft opening. The service was so friendly and attentive. They were so nice. The food was great! We ordered the rice cakes, the xiao long bao, the spicy wontons, and the pan fried beef rolls. Everything was great and the food was tasty and fresh. If you're looking for a solid Chinese spot with good food and fast/friendly service...definitely come here. read more

1st dumpling N noodle - Had the chili beef noodle N2, the flavor hit rite on. I ordered wit chili but I just ate slower. - Noodles Near Me - Anaheim, California

Came during their soft opening. Restaurant is very large, bright, and clean. Good parking lot although the restaurant itself can be easy to miss the first time. Service is really great. Very kind, attentive. The food was pretty good! We got the pork chop fried rice (different from DTFs but still tasty) it's crispier with a thinner breading similar to popcorn chicken, the rice portion was a bit too bland for fried rice but we added soy sauce/vinegar and it was good. The shu mai also good, very fresh. Their chocolate XLB was okay for me, I wouldn't get it again. Compared to DTF, this version fell short. The chocolate was just too bitter for us and there was no cream or anything to help break up that bitterness. Their thai tea also was okay! Not sweet enough. Even the table next to us requested for a sweeter thai tea but they're not able to adjust it at all. Overall, enjoyed our experience and would come back to try other dishes. read more

Wow!! This restaurant is so good! What we loved: The ambiance is great. Giant TVs playing sports, however it feels like a nice family restaurant not a sports bar. It's also beautiful inside with the far wooden tables. The food is DELICIOUS. The prices are reasonable and the portions are big enough to share. The average price is about $15 a plate. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. The servers offered suggestions for the menu and even taught us how to combine the sauces to elevate the plates. We loved the food and service and will definitely be back. read more

I came here on the 5th day of opening. They didn't have a lot of people in when I visited. The service was amazing they checked in quiet frequently. They answered all my questions and gave us information on the food and some of its history. Was the food the best? For me it was comparable to DinTai Fung. The portions were great. Easy to share. The smoothies didn't have added coloring dyes. If it's a mango smoothie it's made with real mangos. I say check it out. I added a few photos of what we got. I hope this helps both you and the shop. I stand by them and will be visiting often. Recommendation: Ask for some ginger to add and make your sauce! read more

Although I miss the Ruby's Diner that used to be here, I understand the need to change it up (Ruby's Diner had unfortunately closed in Old Town Orange and at it's newer location in downtown Brea). I appreciate dumplings and a larger menu of typical Chinese dishes and this place did not disappoint. Plenty of seating and staff and even a display window for kids to observe dumplings being made by hand. We sat in a booth facing two large TV screens so I assume watching sports events can be convenient. Although I didn't snap any photos this time because I came hungry and only had enough patience to eat, this might be my new favorite Chinese dim sum spot. It's still a soft opening so no long wait times or lines just yet. Plenty of parking in their dedicated lot. read more
