Came in a little before their lunch hours were ending, so felt a little bad asking if it was too late to sit down, but the waitress (maybe owner?) was very warm and welcoming and invited me to sit down anyway. I saw the reviews before coming in and saw a couples dishes I was craving, so I ordered the braised pork w/eggs and green onion noodles. Restaurant was nice, quiet (since it was just a handful of stragglers and other people late for the lunch hours), clean, and typical decor of a Chinese restaurant. Wait wasn't too long, but could've been a bit faster. Though the pork was good, I think they left the sauce on the heat for way too long maybe? I know because I cooked this dish at home myself before, and I could tell that they reduced it for far far far too long and the sauce was right on the edge of burnt, and was thick/molasses like, and a bit bitter when it should have been sweet/umami. Like the sauce was dark almost black instead of more red. But! I will give it to them, it was pretty tasty especially when mixed with rice so I guess I couldn't complain too much! The noodles were good, but the pork stole the show so I can't say I recall much, but with some chili oil the green onion noodles were fantastic. read more

Great spot with solid flavors across the board. The pan-fried dumplings are a must--crispy on the bottom and juicy inside. The curry beef pot stickers really stand out, packed with rich curry flavor and perfectly seasoned. Highly recommend the chicken and crab roe served over rice or noodles--the crab roe adds an extra layer of umami that makes the dish feel indulgent without being heavy. Definitely worth coming back for these dishes! read more

Horrible service and full of trash waiters here. No one is taking care of us even we are waiting for more than 45minutes. Only three people in the restaurant include all the staff in the back and they can't hold more than 5 tables. Don't know how to open a restaurant without enough people. read more

& Dim Sum - Shanghai crab xiaolongbao - Dim Sum Near Me - Chino Hills, California

A friend recommended this local XLB / Shanghainese restaurant located at Chino Hills, California. Please make sure to make reservation or you have to wait 20-30 minutes. The restaurant offers buns and Shanghai style cuisines and it is popular with locals. It is a modern Chinese restaurant. However, they have limited staff only two people managing the whole front of restaurant. They are friendly. We have a party of four with adults and 2 kids. We order crab XLB (juicy, soup inside, sweet, and yummy), pan fried crab & pork bun (juicy, soup, sweet, and tasty), deep fried salt & pepper pork tastes like pop corn chicken! And Shanghai shredded pork fried thick noodles is savory, sweet, and not too salty. Overall the food is good for Shanghai style dishes like XLB, buns, except for the fried salt and pepper pork is off. read more

The service is very poor and there is no patience at all. I asked, "Can I check out here?" The waiter was impatient and told me to wait!

The food is amazing, but their hours and service is so inconsistent. They need to hire more staff. The phone always goes straight to voicemail. The Shanghai noodles are the best we've had. The pan fried pork buns are the most delicious out of all the ones we tried. If only they would answer their phone. read more

Found this place on yelp after discovering Happy Together was closed for renovations. The place was maybe half full when we came in. We were a larger party, but the two workers in front immediately told us to basically go away as they were too busy to serve us. I've honestly never had that happen at a restaurant before. Apparently don't come if this restaurant looks even a little full because they probably won't serve you. read more

If you're looking for tasty Shanghainese cuisine in the Chino area this one of the few options. It's located in a very random strip mall in the corner near Turner's Sporting Goods. So there is plenty of parking in the huge lot. The restaurant itself is a large size but for some reason they decided to close half of it. Likely from staff shortages, at least when we came here for lunch over the weekend. They do speak english for the non-mandarin speakers but it absolutely helps if you do speak native or bring your friend to help order. The menu is very classic Shanghai foods with popular XLB items and stir fry and large table dishes. If you don't know Shanghainese foods are sweeter in profile. Note the service here is not great as with many HK/Shanghai restaurants but it's almost expected you need to be aggressive to get any service. We got the pan fried pork baos. These were super delicious and one of the best in the SGV area for sure. The bottom is perfectly crispy without being burnt, and it's filled with super HOT juice so be careful with your first bite or the the juice WILL spray out and potentially burn yourself. The safe way is to bite a small hole and drain some of the juice into the soup spoon they gave you. Don't say you didn't get warned or sue them for burning your own mouth lol. The meat filling is well seasoned and pairs well with the black vinegar. The cold Shanghai style shredded chicken with house special chili sauce is a very classic side dish. The paired chili sauce is delicious with the good amount of sweet and savoriness of the soy. You do have the option of a spicy vs non spicy version. The boiled chicken is served ice cold and super tender. Yes the meat itself is only very lightly seasoned so you must use the dipping sauce. Yes you can pour the entire sauce onto the dish if you so desire too. The final dish we got was Kung Pao Chicken as a measurement of the chef. This version was very heavy on the diced white onion but very tasty. They do skimp abit on the chicken vs the veggie ratio. So overall the dish itself looks abit unbalanced since all you see is bell pepper/onions. Like where's the chicken? The sauce is tasty but just ok. They did finish it with a classic splash of black vinegar as you can taste it but just enough sweetness/soy. Overall a good place for a variety of Shanghai style foods or just to come for your XLB, pan fried baos. We will be back again to try other items. read more

NOT DIM SUM, please be warned!!! Name is extremely misleading and should be reported. They are closer to a dumpling or noodle house, it is NOT the dim sum you think read more

Service was horrible. I called ahead to order to-go and I arrived in 30 minutes which. When I got there, I had to wait 40 more minutes because they gave my order to someone else. If it was an accident it would've been fine, however it was not. They gave it to people who came before us since they kept bugging them. But that doesn't make up the fact that i ordered at 6:20 and my food was ready 7:30. Horrible Service!! read more

When we entered the restaurant at around 12:30pm I was surprised to see many chairs still left upside down on a few tables. Kind of gives an off feeling that the restaurant is not ready for business. The few staff that are there are nice and friendly. The Pork XLB dumplings were excellent! I ordered a 2nd order as everyone enjoyed it. The Fatty pork with eggs was tasty, the dry noodle with green onions are also good, the sticky rice with shrimp Siomai is so-so. Their Beef fried rice is also so-so. Our first experience having a Shanghai dim sum cuisine. The restaurant is clean. read more

Racist restaurant: Do not go if you have brown skin. My wife and went here after seeing good reviews online, on our first visit we barely walked in the door and were told they're closing. Odd as we were there at prime lunch hour, but thought they may keep odd hours. On our second attempt, we walked in and waited a few minutes by the door before an employee came up to us. I asked for a table for 2, he gave me a very condescending look and said none available, my wife asked when one would be available and he said he doesn't know?! Fact: there were 2 tables free, one had to be cleaned after a recent diner. The other side of the restaurant had tables stacked with supplies. As we're walking out, another party with at least 5 asian people walked in and the same employee was all smiles and started pointing to the big table that needed to be cleaned. I am sure they did not have a reservation to remove any doubts. Pity that such a place exists in Chino, where there is a broad demographic of people. I'm not one to complain, but people need to know to stay away and not waste their time at a racist establishment owned by a minority. read more

We stopped by when the restaurant didn't seem very busy, less than half the tables were occupied. When we approached, we were told to wait in a pretty abrupt way without any explanation, despite several open tables. After waiting a few minutes with no update, we decided to just leave. A little friendliness or communication would have made a big difference. read more

Such a clean, hearty spot for chinese food. I have to say, I will always always come to chino hills for this spot. Their portions are very large and very worth the price. The manager lady is extremely kind and I love my interactions with her! She remembers practically all the regulars! but dining here is truly worth the long wait time as you can see their chefs making fresh dim sum in the window. I also highly recommend their sweet and sour pork ribs, and curry pan fried dumplings!! Their regular pan fried dumplings, SJB or something is absolutely delicious and filled with soup. Sometimes does take up to 30-40 minutes so definitely call ahead for takeout! read more

They're understaffed since Covid, and still is, half of the lobby is closed still. If you come at lunch or dinner time, be prepared no one will greet you or take you in for 15+ minutes when no line there. If you're lucky enough to get seated, be prepared you'll wait for 15+ minutes to get a cup of water or get your orders taken, and even longer to get a dish served. The food tastes good, it's a pity they're under such poor management. read more

The waiter has absolutely zero sense of the job. And we had waited around 1 hour after we ordered, it got me so angry when I asked the waiter where is my food and is it even cooked, he just replied there are orders ahead of mine. I left with a full of stomach water. read more

We came in an hour before closing , so far we liked their beef Shanghai thick noodles , savory deliciousness, noodles cooked al dente . My daughter and her friends liked the XLB and the pan fried dumplings, pan fried dumplings were crispy and chewy . XLB isn't the best but better then most , still good the girlfriends says. We were not expecting Shu mai to have sticky rice instead of pork and shrimps like what we were accustomed to at other dim sum places. With that we wanted to give it a try. None the less the sticky Shu mai had great flavors to it , the wrapper seems too soft , when grabbed with our shop sticks . Lady who work that night was friendly , attentive and engaging with my daughter and her friends read more

Great food, great people, great service, and James Wang. I came here during evening for a quick meal and the food was superb! & Dim Sum serves Chinese classics and Szechuan cuisine. I ordered the Pork XLB, glass noodles, shrimp noodles, and the pork wontons. Most dishes are packed with peppercorns and it is SPICY. Service was great and the staff is hard at work! There's a ton of seating inside and the space is huge. One thing to note is that they don't accept AMEX. read more

Been here twice now and it's awesome. Not that busy either. To put it simply, I drive up from Irvine to eat here. Pan Fried Pork buns are the best, also enjoyed these curry dumplings. Only downside is that the service is slow, but not a dealbreaker in my opinion. I would rather have slow service than a long wait, and I have never had to wait to eat here, even on weekends. read more

The price has definitely increased because the website showed much cheaper prices! Wow, all the dishes we ordered were amazing. I loved them all! Shen jian bao we're really crispy on the bottom and super juicy. Order this first because it takes awhile to prepare (like usual if you order this dish anywhere) Dan dan noodles but also has a little Szechuan flavor which gave it a unique flavor! Super yummy! The fried intestines were so unique. I had never had it prepared this way with a green onion inside, but it was so delicious! Really crispy on the outside but juicy and flavorful on the inside. XLB - the classic, was amazing! It didn't even break when I picked it up with my chopsticks so I was able to slurp up all the soup! Service was fast and worker spoke English even though we ordered in Chinese. read more

As someone from Shanghai, I thought the taste was acceptable. However, I really didn't like the attitude of the staff. They mistakenly gave us soy sauce instead of vinegar. We dipped our xiaolongbao in what we thought was vinegar, but it turned out to be soy sauce, which completely altered the flavor. When we mentioned to the server that the dumplings tasted a bit too salty, they seemed offended and replied, "You're the first person to say our xiaolongbao is salty." Later, we realized it was because they had given us soy sauce instead of vinegar. We pointed it out, but the server didn't take it seriously and didn't apologize. I won't be coming back again. read more

I honestly don't know what's going on with this place. The food is really good, but it feels like they don't want customers. The servers are nice, but the lady, whether she's the owner or the manager is quite rude. I want to go back because the food is great, but I hesitate because of her attitude. read more

First time coming here and the food took me back to my first trip to China. Flavors were so authentic and everything fresh made. My kids and husband were also delighted.

I was preggo and ordered a lot of different dishes, everything was good. Now we have our daughter and we still go back. The lady there is super nice. The only thing to keep in mind is she's always been the only person working there so it does take time to get seated and get your food. Other than that everything is good. read more
