These dumplings were absolutely incredible. The wrappers were perfectly soft with just the right amount of chew, and the filling was packed with flavor--juicy, well-seasoned, and clearly made fresh. Each bite had a great balance of texture and taste, whether dipped in sauce or enjoyed on its own. You can tell a lot of care went into making them, from the precise folding to the rich, comforting flavor. Easily some of the best dumplings I've had, and I'd definitely come back for more. Also very good service. Very clean good service. read more

House special noodle soup was very unique! My friend say that might use beef offal to enhance to the soup flavor. Better without spice. Xiao Long Bao, solid choice. Popcorn chicken: missing some spice Wouldnt order again: their pan fried bottom dumplings, labubu buns, red bean bun read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Tik tok you failed me . I had high hopes for this place but I was sadly disappointed . Me and. My boyfriend wanted to try this place out because of the cute shaped buns . We got seated right away because the place wasn't too busy and you order from the QR code at the table . I got the strawberry milk tea and it was okay . I couldn't finish it . The tea was warm and cold at the same time because they put ice in it . The pikachu bun with fries was just sad . The bun had no flavor and the amount of lettuce and tomato they put on it was sad . The spring rolls were just oaky and the dipping sauce provided was nothing to write home about . The service there was fine and the server checked on us periodically . Overall U give this place a three out of five but it's not somewhere were I would go out of my way to eat out here . read more

Before I walked through the doors, I can smell the authentic cooking. My mouth was watering before I can open the menu.

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 . read more

Place had a cute vibes with the color orange motiff which liven up the v cozy ambience! No table service ! Every numbered table has QR code to scan to place your order! Well how can I start this review to justify the 3 Stars! First when we were looking into where to go that we haven't been before this Bun World menu of the braised pork belly got me famished! It was not as flavorful as I had expected , the meat was not as tender and was not the sweet taste that I was hoping for !!! No serving spoons were served with the dishes: Shrimp egg fried rice was delicious! The pork XL needed more soup! The chicken corn dumplings were dry! The hello kitty bun was bland and so the taro filling was not sweet enough to be considered as a dessert ! I can say The best dish was the Pan Fried Bokchoy! Beef noodle was bland in taste! Sorry this Bun World Ontario location will be a while for me to try the second time ... read more

Trying this place for the first time. Was drawn here because of their Braised Pork Belly. The interior is nice, bright, and clean. However, the tables are a bit small. I don't know how we managed to put all those steam trays and eat the foods at the same time. It was very cramp. We needed a third table just to hold the rest of the foods. Food was ordered from scanning the QR code on the table with your phone. The staffs were friendly and welcoming. Service was ok. We ordered the followings to share: - Shrimp Egg Fried Rice (was good but a little bland to me) - Stir Fried Bok Choy (was light in flavor, but still good) - House Special Beef Noodle Soup (again light in flavor, not enough soup. Noodles and beef were good) - Corn & Chicken Xiao Long Bao (a little dry, not enough liquid inside) - Braised Pork Belly (meat was good and soft, but a little lack in flavor, compares to what I'm used to eating at other establishments) - Pork Xiao Long Bao (it was ok, nothing that would stand out) - Cute Cat Bun (looks cute, it was good, lightly sweet, not too bad) Overall, it was ok. It would have been a better dining experience if they had bigger tables to hold all the steam trays. read more

Place looked nice. I liked interior color scheme picked. Looks cool and clean at first impression but noticed right a way a few pieces of papers on the floor as we enter. Ok service. Ambiance was casual, quiet for the most part. Food not so bad but not so great either. I like the bokchoy and fried rice. Pork belly was soft and gelatinous but a bit salty . Beef noodle soup did not have much different flavor than pork belly. Pork XL was savory but wish had more of the juicy liquid in it. Chicken XL was very dry and dough was too chewy and dry. Hello kitty taro bun was ok. Not too sweet and fits my health Issue limit. Very nice presentation though. Biggest take away of the place was the restroom. Smell was like fresh sewage. Huge mistake for me going there after eating. Felt like the food that just got in wanted to get out. Not a fun experience. Not sure if I would want to go back again. read more

If you're carving dim sum or noodles in Ontario Mills, stop by Bun World. Their dumplings are top-notch! So many different flavors and you can't go wrong with any choice. Wait staff is very attentive, and committed to helping you get exactly what you want. The menu is a bit large, so the help is very welcome. They also have a number of specials, coupons, and other ways to get a good value. So keep a lookout for that. Everything else is of the highest quality, so fresh, and delicious. Give them a visit. read more

Visited for a quick meal & service was friendly and sat me right away. The crab xialongbao came out steaming hot & filled with really tender pork & crab. They offer chili oil, vinegar, soy sauce & sriracha on the side as well. Got the jasmine milk tea, a little watery but maybe it's because I put 75% sweet. Overall would come back if in the area feeling snackish. read more

Bun World - Chocolate bear bun, yum! - Chinese Near Me - Ontario, California

I'm quite disappointed in Bun World. We arrived a little after opening and there was a wait. We were told 30 mins but it had been at least an hour before we were sat. This place honestly needs more employees. Its new, its trending, its popular. There were only 2 people attending to the front of house. We saw a chef come out and help bus the tables. The food came out sporadically likely due to the lack of employees. A lot of the popular items were sold out. I encourage putting up sold out signs so people aren't waiting the whole time to be told the item is sold out. The food was mediocre. A lot of the dishes lacked flavor and some were cold. I would not come back. There are many dumpling houses nearby. read more

Super cute and yummy! Saw this place of social media and wanted to try it. My daughter and I loved it. Food was delicious, drinks were good and customer service was excellent. Plenty of parking and plenty of seating My daughter ordered the pink puff chicken burger. Chicken was so delicious and fried were great. Bun texture was different then the traditional American burger but overall great. The fried rice was omg, to die for!! Seasoned to perfection. Our favorite plate!! Let's not forget about the chicken cruelty cutlet, this was also one of our favorite plates, a must have! Chicken is so crispy and juicy. The buns were good but it was too much ginger for us, definitely trying something different next time we go. Overall this place is a must try! read more

We were looking for somewhere new to eat and I remembered seeing Bun World on social media. I looked up their IG page for their location. Unfortunately it gave me the address to Norms in the Ontario Mills parking lot (gah) but amazingly enough my son used Yelp, what I should have done to begin with. We were greeted immediately, the little bao logo is super cute and they even have instruction on the wall! The vibe is super casual and family friendly. They have a Pikachu meal for kids. They food is prepared and served fresh. I highly recommend this place. read more

Food: I ordered the assorted fried Bun. Good size, each bun is freshly made, very crispy at bottom, and Juicy. My favourite is the pork with Shrimp, then the original Pork one, and least favorite is the curry one... Beef noodle soup is good, not authentic but good flavor! Price: -0.5 Reasonable price, wish it can be one dollar off for each price will be more competitive. Atmosphere: New; bright, comfortable. And servers are very nice. Overall, recommend to try, since there are not too much choices in this area, this is good for me already. 生煎符合我的基本标准了，个头很大，底部很脆，内馅多汁，但是调味可以再精进一些，有点发苦。 咖喱实在适应不了，三鲜最好吃。 兰州拉面，不能说正宗，但是味道是好吃的！量足。 如果价格再优惠一点点就好了。 read more

This place is near the Ontario Mills in one of the strip malls. There are a lot of different establishments around parking can get tight. Upon entry, we were seated right away. I didn't understand why but there were tissue boxes on every table. I think it's what they use instead of napkins. The server came and took our order right away. There was a little sauce area to pick up sauce. We ordered several items in order to check out their menu. The food wasn't all that great. The beef roll was cold! The meat inside was cold so that was weird. Good thing the flavor of the beef roll was good otherwise I was close to sending it back. The pork chop fried rice was mostly bone. I was surprised that they even served it, considering it looked like that. Their dumplings were thick in their dough and not the best. The best thing was their popcorn chicken. Nice and crispy! Overall, I was disappointed. I'd likely go try other new dumpling houses rather than return to this place. read more

Lots of stuff sold out when I ordered including many of the cute viral buns. I was excited to see the chocolate bear buns were available when I went to place my order however, when I hit place order, it said they were no longer available and that was quite disappointing as there were already so many other character buns that were sold out. Other than that, this place is fantastic! We tried the assorted pan fried buns, Rainbow xiao long bao, Cute cat buns, and the lightning and pink puff chicken burgers. Will start with the chicken burgers. They were good. Could use a bit more flavor. The fries that came with them seemed almost raw. I had to bring them home and put them into the air fryer to cook them. The pan fried.buns were all delicious, my favorite was the curry. The rainbow xiao long were delectable, I was surprised that my favorite was the cuttlefish and pork. I was not expecting till like that one so much. I really enjoyed the cute cat bun, but wish it had a bit more filling this one was mostly bun. I definitely come back for their food as their dumplings or some of the best I've had. Also, this is a small thing. The online order said it would be ready in 15 minutes, but it really took 20. That's not such a big deal. The service here is really great. The people are so nice.. read more

Definitely need more staff asap. 4 tables needed to be bussed and they just instead of cleaning them all at once, decide to clean them with 20 minute intervals in between sitting one party at a time. It's been 50 minutes and still waiting for just a party of 2. We finally sat down and got straight to ordering. We ordered 5 dishes: beef noodle soup, assorted soup dumplings, assorted fried buns, spicy wontons, and a Chinese hamburger. The beef noodle soup spicy wontons and assorted soup dumplings need a little more work. The Chinese hamburger and assorted fried buns were not bad, it just sucked waiting the longest for them. It seems like a mom and pop shop and definitely in its early stages. I hope they take this review as constructive criticism. That being said, the new girl that was just hired in the front... at one point I was just watching her switch tasks from bussing tables with a towel of bleach to sprinkling sesame seeds on top of my order or assorted fried buns... I flicked them all off before I had the buns read more

Bun World - Assorted soup dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Ontario, California

I do not recommend coming here unless some drastic improvements are made. Bun World probably did not expect to go viral on social media. Now that more and more people are going out of their way to visit, they are just not able to keep up with the demand. My party was one of the first groups to get seated on a Sunday. We scanned the QR Code and noticed that over half of the items we wanted to try were unavailable. That should have been a warning of what was to come, but we opted to stay. We then waited... for a LONG time. It took 1 hour for 2 items to arrive, which were both mediocre at best (shrimp fried rice and chicken sandwich). When we followed up, we were informed that they had not even started prepping our other orders yet. We ended up canceling and left to eat elsewhere. read more

I'm an avid dumpling lover and try different Asian spots all over Southern CA. I happen to be in Rancho Cucamonga for work. I was inspired by coworkers who tried this place earlier in the day and swooned over how good it was. My honest take is that it's a 2-3 star experience. The food is ok. Just ok. Not great or earth shattering. Service was bleh. The customer next to me ordered ginger and the server brought it to me by mistake. The next door customer was livid and they complained under their breath the entire time. The ambiance feels like a high school cafeteria. Nothing really clean with a communal sauce sharing table. I was not impressed. I ordered the shrimp & pork wonton soup. Had to send it back because it was cold. They brought me a piping hot soup the next time around. Should have gotten it right the first time. The pan fried pork dumplings were good, but I've had better in Orange County. Ordered the oolong milk tea with "jellies"...that was interesting. If I may suggest lychee jelly, that would have made a huge difference. I also ordered their black sesame buns. They were cute visually but smelled funny and tasted nothing like the din tai fung, black sesame buns which I love and adore. Maybe focus on quality and not so much the gimmick of making them look like panda bears. I left one behind. I gave them a mediocre tip as the ordering process was done through my phone with very little human interaction. Not a fan and will never come back. read more

The service here was really odd and inconsistent. When we sat down, our server didn't bring us waters until we asked her but I noticed she brought waters for other tables as soon as they sat down. The condiments are at a table near the kitchen but it is unclear whether you are supposed to ask for them or to grab them yourself. We came here, hoping for a quick meal since we had a movie to catch. There were only two other parties there at the time so we thought they would be able to get us in and out pretty fast. We ordered a noodle, their special dumplings, and spicy wontons. I enjoyed the noodles even though they weren't anything special - just a light clean broth that was really nice, along with some noodles that were slightly chewy in texture. The house dumplings were a "must try" item but I wasn't a fan and got bored of it after eating one. They're very filling so if you want to eat other things, I would recommend a smaller order of them. We didn't get our order of spicy wontons and in the 20+ minutes (I checked) that we were waiting for them, no one checked on us. We flagged them over to let them know and they had forgotten it. In a small space like this one, with only two other parties you would think they'd check on the table that was just sitting there or ask if we wanted the check if they thought we were done. We left hungry and had to cancel the movie. I hope they improve on their service and process but we won't be coming back. read more

Cute food! Chicken sandwich was yummy, fries were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The pork buns and dumplings (not pictured) were very flavorful and the noodle soup was my fav. Beef pieces are a bit big but overall, delicious. Tip: add some chili oil to the soup, adds some more flavor. Without is just ok but much better with.

Free soda & 12% discount for their grand opening promotion while supplies lasts. In the same plaza as Boiling World. Bright orange backdrop wall and chairs. No waitstaff to take orders, scan QR code and order menu through the phone . The sweetest lady brought our order , it seems like she was the only person who was managing all the tables when I was there , besides the bus boy cleaning and clearing the used dishes. To be honest nothing really stand out for me and my daughter. We thought each items we tried all had the same fillings & flavors except for the cute steamed hello kitty bun with ube filling . #10 pork XLB xio long bao dough was a tad chewy at the tip , soup inside was ok. #51 scallion pancake my daughter mentioned the dough was dense and thick Lacking in savory flavor and not much scallion taste. #1 House special pan fried pork bun the dough of this dish was chewy and crispy the fillings is pork minced and peas. It tastes like the pan fried pork dumplings, both had the same meat fillings. In all honesty I didn't find the items we ordered stood out to me, ingredients and flavors of the dish we had resembled the same ingredients used . read more

When you walk right into the restaurant, the floor is somehow quite sticky/oily. Kinda made a big dent on the first impression. Very disappointed at the food so did not take many photos. There are contaminations across different flavored buns, dumplings, and wonton. We can taste the curry flavor in regular pork buns. One of the regular xiao long baos tasted sour for some reason. The service was lackluster at best. They did not tell us it's a no server self order spot. We waited a long time until I noticed the QR code. Someone should have came and say something like "hey, it's a scan to order spot". I know the saying that if it's an authentic Chinese spot, expect no service. However, the food here was not even good... Took forever to get our food. The receptionist/server was mad that we only gave 10% tip but there was zero service. The spot just opened, yet it seemed like everyone there was already quite out of it.... read more

I came here after shopping at the Ontario Mills nearby. It's located next to the hot pot restaurant. Their menu consists mainly of dumplings. They have a variety of xiao long baos that I haven't seen in other restaurants such as cuttlefish and pork. I got 3 orders of dumplings for my family to try alongside an order of spicy pork wonton in red oil. It came with a small container of chili oil and soy sauce. The fillings were a good size, dough was not too thick. The staff is nice and they have a good amount of seating. read more

I wanted to see what the fuss was about so I was able to try this place while Christmas shopping. Tried out the wanton soup and the pan fried buns. The soup was ok, nothing earth shaking but per decent. The pan fried buns was a real surprise. It was extremely juicy and flavorful. The soup inside perfectly complemented the crunchy fried bun. Ask the flavors had its own unique flavor profile. Try dipping it in a soy sauce-vinegar-chili oil sauce. Next level read more

First time here. Brought 2 picky eaters with me. Everyone left happy and full. Ordered the lightning (Pikachu) chicken sandwich, steamed pork dumplings , steamed shrimp and pork dumplings (green ones), shrimp fried rice, and shrimp and pork wonton soup. Nothing was left behind! Ended the meal with an order of chocolate bear bun. Delicious. Won't order the rice again, although tasty it was just too oily for my taste. Didn't have too much flavor so needed either chili oil or siracha. Chili oil was delicious, but again, too oily. Will definitely get the chicken sandwich again. Soup was perfection. Definitely a meal in itself but also perfect for sharing. Didn't try any drinks because it was already $70+. Just water for us. The location was a little hard to find, thought the back was the front but then realized we had to drive around. Inside ambiance was very welcoming, clean and comfortable. Order at the table by scanning QR code so it's convenient. Downside, limited options for customization. Personally would not have wanted so many green onions in the soup and would have preferred option to ask for garnishes on the side. That is the only reason for the 4 stars. Sorry the pics were taken after we started eating, Pikachu lost his ears and mouth before I got the shot. we are looking forward to coming back again. read more

The food was good. I was expecting the beef noodles to taste a certain way. The noodles were really thin like instant noodles and the meat was surprisingly also thin. The green onion pancakes were tasty and thick. The meat in the juicy pork dumplings tasted different too and not so juicy but it was still good. The customer service was not really there. I looked up for a while with my hand raised to get the bill and the waitress was on her phone when no one else was in the restaurant. Even the condiments I had to get up to look around and self serve. read more

Dine in on 12/7- Restaurant was fairly empty for mid day/ early afternoon it was self seating and you scan the QR code to place your entire order /drinks etc then whatever you ordered comes out . I ordered the streamed pork dumplings and the shrimp fried rice and the beef noodle soup . Dumplings were decent flavor and texture , the fried rice had like 2 small shrimps chopped up in pieces which is pretty steep for the quantity.. beef noodle soup was decent it was just beef slices and noodles and broth and mad green onions and cilantro worth mad stems .. overall , food was alright but i definitely wouldn't go back at all tbh. I think by far the best place for asian dumplings, beef noodle soup and steamed buns would have to be Artisan dumplings hands down in Rancho Cucamonga. Everything they make is fresh and in house and fresh noodles etc. be prepared to wait but it's well worth it .. my dine in experience could of been better never did they ask to refill our drinks and when you are done eating you lay on your card or cashier . It wasn't a warm experience at all ... just definitely really disconnected and the kid that was working there looked so not motivated or happy which is sad af especially working at a restaurant. read more
