    The staff was polite and welcoming, and the décor was cute. The first thing I noticed, though, was that the tables were dirty and sticky. I figured I had just missed the lunch rush, so I gave them some grace. The complimentary water was a nice touch, but unfortunately it had a strange aftertaste. We ordered the soup dumplings. The flavor was good, but they lacked the rich broth you'd expect and were surprisingly dry. Overall, this is a decent spot if you're looking for a quick, fast food style meal, but it wasn't the experience I was hoping for.

    Pan Fried Pork Buns(6)

    I feel bad for giving this place 3stars as the staffs were very nice and told us that we could wait inside while they are getting ready. Really I think it only deserves 2. The place isn't sanitary. Most of their tables are sticky and if you look at it in certain angle you can see patches of oil marks on them. Table surfaces are sticky. Sauce bottles are sticky. I felt restless when seated. It was 10:30 am and they are the only place open at that shopping center. Their most popular dish the pan fried bun is not satisfying to me. The bun it self felt stale, there were some juice inside but the flavor of the filing and the outside dough were just terrible. My husband didn't like the noodle he got either. At the end, the only thing we liked was the popcorn chicken. , I might be a little harsh on them as it's a small business but I really think sanitary level should be improved.

    Pork Soup Dumplings were passable, better than most dim sum places but a little bit too much dough and too little Umami in the soup. If DTF Din Tai Fung was the standard and a 8.5/10, then this place gets a 5/10 for their xiao long baos. Ambiance: place reminds me of an after school hangout for children and high school students. Food is mediocre, but somehow all the kids like it. Service: food comes out pretty quick. Would be the perfect restaurant in a food court. Well technically it is serving the Ontario Mills mall crowd. Pros: Beef Clear Noodle Soup was decent. It's simple, it's flavorful, probably the highlight of the meal. Cons: Vegetable Eggrolls are probably frozen Sysco products. No bueno. And the Chilli Oil Szechuan Cold Chicken (口水雞) was an utter failure. Absolutely failure of a dish. Please take it off the menu or at least put some effort into the dish. Improvements: for the aforementioned failed dish above, steam the chicken, cold bath it, for the Szechuan Chili Mix: Sesame Paste, SUGAR, msg, ginger minced (Alot), garlic minced (Alot), Da Hong Pao Szechuan Peppercorn Grounded, Green Qing Jiao Peppercorns Grounded, add Chinese Numbing Peppercorn Oil, Add Sesame Oil, and whatever in house Red Chilli Oil. Better yet, grab a block of Szechuan Hot Pot Oil and Melt it in. Heck throw in some fennel. Wala upgraded 口水雞 Kou Shui Ji. Unfortunately I can only give this place a 3/5. Needs to up it's game.

    Ordered togo while chilling at Legends. Really good! Beef wrapped pancakes and shrimp and pork wontons, yes! Won tons were melt in your mouth good. Came with an addicting broth. Togo order took less then 20 minutes. Packaged with care. Be back to try other items next time at Legends.

    The Xiao long bao pork dumplings was sooo good.

    The Xiao long bao pork dumplings was sooo good. I have been wanting to try this place out for quite some time and it didnt disappoint. The green beans were really good too, very falvorful. I will definitely order this again and try out more items.

    The bun leaned dry and firm, with minimal taro inside. Even then, the filling was bland and noticeably under-sweetened.

    TikTok hype vs. reality My wife and I tried coming here a few months ago when it went viral on TikTok. The wait was over an hour, so we passed. We finally came back this past Friday during dinner time... and it was surprisingly empty. Only about four parties dining in. That already told me the hype train might've left the station. Let's start with the Rainbow Xiao Long Bao dumplings. They were honestly disappointing. A bit hard, kind of dry, and nowhere near as juicy as other spots doing the same thing. When you're selling dumplings, that bite better be bursting and these just weren't. The cute kitty bun (which honestly is one of the main reasons people come here) looked adorable... but taste-wise? Dry. Not enough filling. The taro wasn't sweet or flavorful enough to really qualify as dessert. It had potential but didn't deliver. Popcorn chicken was decent. They had solid flavor, but it could've been crispier. The spicy & sweet cucumbers were okay too, but presentation matters. They were chopped pretty sloppy. A little more care in plating would go a long way. Now credit where it's due. The House Special Beef Noodle Soup was actually very good. Rich broth, comforting, especially with the cold weather. Maybe it stood out because the other items underwhelmed, or maybe it's genuinely their strongest dish. Either way, that bowl saved the visit. Overall, Bun World definitely has potential. The concept is cute and social-media friendly, but flavor and execution need to catch up to the hype. Based on how packed it was before vs. how empty it was this time... there might be a reason. 3 stars. Not terrible. Not amazing. Just... okay.

    The food was good! The cucumber was very tasty. We enjoyed the popcorn chicken. The eggrolls were ok. Dumplings we're overcooked, no juice in the xiao long bao. The noodle soup was meh. The service was fast and efficient the ambiance was clean and decent. As far as pricing, it's pretty decent considering the location.

    On the night that I went it was pretty quiet and slow but the food was hot and delicious. Plenty of seating.

    They have such cute buns at this restaurant! The menu is available by scanning the barcode at the end of the tables. The staff works pretty quickly to get your order out once you place it online. I wasn't a huge fan of the buns themselves in terms of flavor but all the characters were really cute and they were pretty study, they didn't crumble once. I like the beef roll, the XLBs, and the popcorn chicken best. I had a good experience.

    Honestly pretty good atmosphere. Workers doing what they doing. No bad vibes, very chill and welcoming. We got a variety of food and i honestly think all was good. I would definitely come back with my kids and wife. Even my daughter enjoyed it. I would recommend

    We were here in Ontario for a weekend conference. Wanted to eat a quick lunch. Found Bun World was very close to our hotel. Dining area was clean and brightly lit. Our server was friendly and very helpful. My wife and I ordered an orange lemon passion green tea iced drink. The drink was very refreshing and tasty. We ordered the pork and shrimp Xiao long bao, pork steamed dumplings, pork and shrimp steamed dumplings and the special pork Xiao long bao. Each dish was served steaming hot and each dish had its own delicious fresh taste. The dumplings all tasted better than many large popular chain restaurants.

    Before I walked through the doors, I can smell the authentic cooking. My mouth was watering before I can open the menu. Here is the menu link btw https://order.mealkeyway.com/customer/release/selfDineIn?randomStr=e3e0384592d042e992ef92a56ed4b0f3 If the link is unavailable, I put the QR code to the menu in my photos. I ordered shrimp and pork wonton soup and hello kitty buns. I wanted to order all the buns but my tummy just can't handle all of it in one sitting. I have no choice but to drive all the way up here My soup was made fresh, base of soup taste delicious, my hello kitty bun was so cute that at first I didn't want to eat it, inside was taro ! For those who know me, I hold a high standard for soup and taro. Let's just say this place has my heart .

    Great Casual Chinese spot in chino hills! Super affordable and the service was amazing. The staff…read morewere super super friendly and made me and my friend feel welcome. The food was also delicious especially for the prices so I can't recommend this spot enough. I ordered the Pork and chives potstickers and the Beef cumin noodles and it was more than enough for two people.Will have to bring my parents next time! - Lot Parking - Bathrooms available - Small and large group seating

    A nice little spot for Chinese foods…read more The ambiance is nice and clean. Love the ceiling decors. Very beautiful. Staffs were friendly and efficient. They brought us water immediately after we sat down. We were able to order right away. We ordered the followings: - Fried Rice Beef - Fried Rice Shrimp - Beef Skewers (3) - Corn Skewers (10) - Biang Biang Spicy Hand-Ripped Noodles - Fried Mixed Vegetables (With Beef, Chicken, Potato, Tofu, Fish Tofu, and Cabbage) Both the Beef and Shrimp Fried Rice were delicious. The Beef and Corn Skewers were fantastic. The Biang Biang Spicy Hand-Ripped Noodles was ok. Thought it would be spectacular based upon other people's reviews, but it was alright. The Fried Mixed Vegetables was a little bit over whelming. The sauce was a little strong. Would be better if it was a little lighter. Overall, the foods were good. The only negative thing here was they were mopping the floor while we were still eating. I know it was close to closing time, but couldn't they just wait till everyone leaves before mopping the floor? I know they want to go home too, but the smell of the chemical made the dining experience less enjoyable.

    Came in a few days ago and I must say we just found our new spot in Ontario/Rancho Cucamonga area…read more Green beans, dry bean curd with chives, mapo tofu, chili chicken cube, everything was phenomenal. Absolutely coming back every other week. Super nice lady. Chef killed it.

    Ordered Spicy Szechuan Crispy Chilli Chicken Mixed Beef…read moreSlices in hot Sauce Local Hunan Flavored Lamb And Szechuan Cold Noodles I always thought this place in the past was an offshoot of the Red Chilli Restaurant in Rancho Cucamonga / Upland by the 99 Ranch Supermarket, but I guess it deviates way far from both the Red Chilli Restaurants in Redlands and Upland from 8-15 years ago. I cant justify any of these dishes making me want to consume bowls upon bowls of rice. That's what spicy Szechuan and Hunan food is supposed to do....it should make you awaken your taste buds, with the power of their chilli peppers, Szechuan green & red peppercorns, and the umamis derived from MSG. Nope, I didn't crave the Lazi Chicken...nor the Hot Oil Beef Mix... Not the Cold Noodles, and I left with a $122 receipt in hand for 2 more takeout items on top of the 4 main dishes I've shared.....and I felt pretty empty. Empty in a sense, I could DO BETTER at home mixing my own Szechuan Cold Noodles, with Home Made Chili Oil, Sesame Paste, Sugar. Chicken Bullion, Minced Garlic, Vinegar, and Cilantro. I almost felt robbed here.....either every dish was lacking peppercorns and numbness, or it was missing Umami, Alot of it...so I leave anyone who wants to challenge my opinion otherwise and prove me wrong that the food here indeed belongs in a long list of top notch Szechuan Hunan Restaurants in Los Angeles. Even if this place opened up in Phoenix, I'm sorry, it's going to rank in the lower end of the bell curve. It was a hot day. I felt the service lady doesn't know how to tell "Customers Need Ice Water" and I had to vocally tell her ice and water please. I don't know, been a long week, haven't gone home for 10 days and just been bouncing on and off my rig all across the US....I just wanted some food I could really enjoy today, and Chili Bistro failed to deliver.
