Chef June's Dumplings is such a quaint little spot and made for a really relaxed, enjoyable meal. It wasn't busy when we went, which gave it a calm, low key vibe where you can actually sit and take your time. We started with the triple delight pan fried dumplings and these were definitely a highlight. The bottoms had that perfect golden crisp while the tops stayed soft and chewy. Each one was juicy and flavorful, and you could tell they were made fresh. The chicken mini juicy buns were also really good. The wrappers were soft and delicate with a nice burst of broth inside, making them super comforting and easy to keep going back for. The pork belly gua bao was another standout. The bun was soft and fluffy, and the pork belly was tender and savory with a nice balance from the toppings. It was simple but really well executed. For noodles, we had the beef shank noodle soup with both beef shank and braised beef, and this dish was packed with protein. The meat was tender and flavorful, and the broth had a rich, savory depth that made it feel really hearty without being too heavy. We also tried the biang biang noodles. On their own, they were a little mild in flavor, but once we added some of the seasonings from the table like chili oil and sauces, it really brought the dish to life. I actually appreciated that you can customize it to your taste since they give you plenty of options. We got bubble tea as well, which was just okay. The flavor was good, but the boba itself wasn't as chewy as I usually like. Overall, everything felt fresh, portions were generous, and the pricing was very reasonable for what you get. The cozy atmosphere and variety on the menu make it a great spot to come back to and try more. Definitely a solid go to if you're in the area and craving dumplings and noodles. read more

Got dinner pick-up from here and was not disappointed. The food was pipping hot and the flavors did not miss. This is legit Szechuan food! We got the dumplings, scallion pancakes and the Dan Dan noodles. For the dumplings, the filling was juicy and full of big chunks of pork. I prefer the boiled version vs. pan fried. The skin was a little on the thinner side but still good. The Dan Dan noodles had a nice numbing spice and had a lot of ground pork. The scallion pancakes were cut into perfectly snackable sizes and were crispy and fragrant. Would highly recommend getting takeout from here or dine in. The takeout bag had sauces for the dumplings and lots of forks and chopsticks. There were no napkins in there so that was a bit disappointing. Lots of parking around the strip mall area. read more

Excellent in every way. Each dish tasted home made and the dumplings were delicious We will be back! read more

The place was clean and plenty of lot parking. Staff kind and service quick. I liked the option of homemade dumpling and noodles. The ambiance is standard decent music playlist . I ordered chicken dumplings pan fried. The fry on dumpling was nice. The dumpling was a little thicker than I expected but okay as the chicken lacked flavor or maybe a pinch of salt. I also ordered Schezaun beef noodle with beef shank. It was pretty good but I tried to add some chilli oil to it and it didn't add flavor just a little more heat. I would have liked a bit of salt or garlic in it but otherwise it was cool. Again, fresh noodle versus instant is always ideal. As a person who loves dumplings I would return for that and try another dish. read more

Went here to try out the local dumplings But were very very disappointed in the food taste. The dumplings had such a thick wrapper that it was almost like impossible to bite and then it lacked seasoning! The noodles had very weird taste I won't recommend at all. read more

My wife and I came here for dinner one night. It's a small restaurant but there here were only a few other tables so we had no issue getting seated. Our server was very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed our food - we had the pan fried dumplings, scallion pancakes and a noodle dish. All pretty good and decently priced. I would come back here when in the area! read more

This was a neat little hole in the wall. We went for dine in on a Saturday night around 7, and ended up being the only one of two tables in the restaurant- I'm guessing that this place does most of its business as take out. The ambiance was fine, but I'd likely do takeout next time. The food was great - we ordered a scallion pancake, some dumplings and a noodle dish. The scallion pancake was thinner and crispier than I've had at other places which was a fun twist. The food came out as it was ready, rather than being coursed out or coming out all at once. read more

Very good dumplings. They are more soup dumplings so incredibly juicy, savory, delicious. Make sure to wear a bib or be ready to do some laundry. Well worth it to try the somewhat hidden gem on Ogden. read more

We were in the mood for some Chinese food, but wanted to try something different from our usual places. I'm glad I listened to my friend and friend Chef Junes. The place is small, but well kept. There were two people cooking in the kitchen and one young lady waiting tables. Service was quick and efficient, and the food was great! We all love the salt and pepper pork chop, so much flavor and great texture! My daughters loved the cold noodles too. We'll be back again soon, it was all very yummy! read more

This place used to be an all time favorite for me. Then this evening I got sent an order missing an entire entree, and the rice included was cold, congealed, and dry like it had been sitting out for a full day. Extremely disappointed and likely won't be back. read more

My husband and I had lunch at Chef June's recently, and the food was AMAZING! We had two kinds of Gua bao (pork belly is definitely the winner), I had mapo tofu with meat with steamed rice (from the lunch menu) and my husband has tonkotsu ramen. They were all delicious, so we finished everything - not even a drop of soup or grain of rice were left on our plates! The service was fast and friendly. It's a cozy place but plenty of tables. We'll definitely come back! Note: The business hours on Yelp is wrong. I already contacted them with the photo, so hopefully they'll correct it soon. We were in the area too early (or so we thought) and killed some time making errands until 11:30 am but they were already opened at 11 am. read more

Automatic gratuity disclosure issue. Our party's pre-tax food total was $117.55, with tax of $12.34. A 20% automatic gratuity of $25.98 was applied, calculated on the total INCLUDING tax. In U.S. restaurants, gratuity is typically calculated on the pre-tax amount. The correct 20% gratuity should have been $23.51. I contacted the restaurant to request a refund of the $2.47 difference and was refused. The amount is small, but customers should be aware of how gratuity is calculated here. read more

Great dumplings, doesn't seem to get as much "press" but I'd say it's just as good if not better than some other places. The soup dumplings are sublime, everything was delicious and not as salty. Service is a bit slow, so be prepared to just take your time, enjoy your company and the food. read more

I've been wanting to check this place out for awhile but every time I tried to order, they were closed or I tried out of normal hours. I get back to town, drop my car at the shop down the street for service & walk over, I'm the only person in at 1:30p on a Monday. Seated and order taken quickly after friendly greeting. 5 people sit at 3 tables while kitchen is coming. Getting busy. Pork dumplings come first then Mongolian beef lunch special. I added chili crisp and enjoyed both. I would return. read more

The General Tso's chicken lunch special here was great...while the rice was only so-so, that chicken was on point! The dumplings are why we came here, and the pan fried beef dumplings were tasty but not as strong as some of the ones I've had in Chinatown (Qing Xiang, for example). Lots of dine-in space and that food came out fast. Excited to come back here and try other lunch specials. read more

I was looking forward to trying Chef June's Dumplings, as they had beef noodle soup on their menu. Sadly to say, it lacked in delivering a quality noodle soup dish. Looked like they added chili oil to the soup broth at the very end before serving. The Pork Belly Gua Bao was average. Looking at their menu, it has more of an Americanized menu. If I were to come back, I'd only try their handmade dumplings. read more

First time here with a huge party of 18. Luckily we make reservations before arrived as the restaurant has very limited capacity and we arrived in an hour before closing time. There is only one server working at that time, so I took the initiative to take down 18 people's order then pass it to her to make her work easier. The food came out around 15-20mins after order. So we are unable to take photos for dumplings.... The dumplings are damn delicious either boiled dumplings or pan fried dumplings.... Even children also like the taste. When comes to noodles, our favourite is the Biang Biang noodles. We will definitely come back to try out more options soon read more

A follow up review of Chef June and is it possible that the 2nd time is even better than the first? Holy Moly! We got there tonight a Monday night at 6pm and it was quite slow but people starts to show up soon after. Hubby and I ordered the Szechuan won ton and it was spicy but in the Mala way so it's not too spicy but it numb your tongue perfectly! It was so good. Then we shared the Dan Dan Mein and same thing. It is a bit spicy, no soup with thick Shanghai noodles, peanuts, pork, bean sprouts and some scallions. It was just enough spice to make you say ahhhhhhh oh so good. We also shared a beef shank noodle soup and this one was NOT spicy. Finally something not spicy because I want to drink the soup and we finished EVERYTHING. Not even a drop of soup is left. First time was good but 2nd time was even better!!! I can't wait to go back for the 3rd, 4th and 5th time! Happy New Year Chef June and wishing you good fortune on your business! read more

Amazing service and dumplings! We ordered from here tonight (New Year's Eve), order was warm and waiting for us upon arrival. Realized we were missing something once we were home and Chef June's promptly delivered it to us! Highly recommend Crab Rangoon (plenty of filling), Pork Mini Juicy Buns & Sesame Chicken. read more

A friend and I checked this place out recently. It's a no-frills spot in a little shopping strip, but the food was quite tasty! It wasn't crowded at lunchtime on the day we came. We ordered pork mini juicy buns (their name for soup dumplings/Xiao long bao), chicken pan fried potstickers, and as an appetizer the pork belly gua bao. I really liked the flavor and texture of the gua bao; the filling combined pork belly, scallion, carrots and peanut for a varied taste, and the bun part was pillowy without being gummy. The potstickers were tasty and crispy with a lot of filling. The soup dumplings were savory and flavorful; it's just the first time I've never been given a spoon to eat this dish! (Usually the dumplings are scalding hot inside so you don't down them in one: you hold the dumpling in a spoon, make a hole in it to slurp out the soup, then eat the dumpling.) So that was awkward. Overall, good food and many more choices on their menu to try! read more

There are no frills here, but if you want a good hit meal in a cold day - this place does the trick. Between their dumplings, rice meals and bowls of pho/soup, my entire team enjoyed their meals here while in town for work. We had a very friendly waitress as well to go with their reasonable prices. read more

Update: I was pleased that they got their system down. Service is more efficient, we got sat down and drinks were brought immediately. From the front of the menu, it looks like their hours were updated. We ordered pork with mushrooms and napa dumplings, beef shank and braised beef with spicy broth, and beef shank with non spicy broth. Prices are still fair. You get a good portion. Dumplings are still juicy and full of flavor. Spicy broth is not that spicy but very enjoyable. Beef shank and braised beef are both very tender and delicious. One of my go to places in the western burbs. read more

It's hard for me to give a good review to a place that took over an hour for my food. It better be the best I have ever had. Services is subpar. Waited over hour for food. To make things worse they didn't even give me all my food. I got home and I had to drive back to get the rest. The guy would not even give me a credit. read more

We finally decided to come to Chef June's after it came highly recommended by a friend of ours. The store itself is pretty nondescript and in a strip mall. The decor inside also is plain. There's a good amount of seating but not great for big groups. We came at 5pm on a Sunday so we were able to be seated immediately. We ordered the Pan-Fried Triple Delight dumplings as well as Pan-Fried Pork and Napa Cabbage dumplings. I wished for a bit more flavor in the fillings. The sauce we got was black vinegar. We also ordered the Biang Biang Noodle. The noodles themselves were very good. I had hoped for some more bok choy as we only got half of a baby bok choy. I would come back and try some other things! read more

Chef June's Dumplings makes handmade noodles and offers some solid Chinese food in Westmont. I love a good Xiao Long Bao (XLB) and the soup in these give me that heart warming, comforting feel. I love that they also have Taiwanese beef noodle soup. This soup uses homemade noodles, and they're good. The noodles would have been perfect if they were cooked less, but that's just me being a perfectionist. The broth was serviceable as it's missing the typical body that fills out this bowl. Service was friendly, fast, and clean. Price is about right, and this spot is located in a plaza with plenty of parking available. All in all, Chef June's Dumplings seems to specialize in their namesake and setting your expectations there would be the way to go. read more

This is now one of our favorite spots. We have yet to dine in but all of our online orders have been punctual and accurate. We have tried the following: 1) Mini pork dumplings (xiao long bao) 2) Noodles with beef shank and brisket - The noodles are homemade and the meat is extremely tender. 3) Vegetarian potstickers 4) Pork and napa potstickers 5) Scallion pancakes - I didn't count but there are at least eight pieces to an order. They're crispy and not overly salty. read more

All I knew about this place was they have Chinese dumplings. Chef June's Dumplings for sure is somewhere you should know what you're getting. It of course has dumplings, and isn't the only such place in Westmont. First we decided to check this one out since it was slightly closer. The menu is mostly dumplings but you can order some other things. First know what dumplings are. I knew this part and we knew we were getting some kind of these for sure. The choice was narrowed down by choosing the Vegetarian Dumplings, as these matched the two criteria used by us. It's $11.95 at lunch. These are filled with cabbage, carrots, celery, mushrooms, and tofu. Each of us thought these were among the better dumplings we've had. These were soft and had enough moisture without being watery. Along with these came sauces for dipping. There was a soy and the other was hot pepper. Good enough to come back. It turned out to be our favorite of the two nearby places. They also have a large menu including noodles and other things. read more

This small restaurant is very unassuming, but don't be fooled because the flavors and spice are very bold. We had the triple delight potstickers, mini juicy buns, beef shank noodle soup and biang biang noodles. The potstickers and soup dumplings were very good. I thought the potstickers could have been filled a little more, but the sear was good. The soup dumplings were fresh, plump and juicy. The beef shank noodle soup was nicely done. The noodles were never-ending long and there was plenty of beef and fresh veggies. The standout dish for me was the biang biang noodles. These were awesome. Loved the flavor and it wasn't overwhelmingly spicy. I loved the wider noodles and they were not too think. The tomatoes really lightened it up and and the peanuts gave it a nice crunch. I definitely recommend this place and I can't wait to try other dishes. read more

My go-to for take out or dine-in Chinese food. Very tasty, interesting, quick and affordable

So the place is quaint and both Chef June and Yanan are super friendly and welcoming. We just found the place on Yelp so we ordered every dumpling pan fried on the menu along with both pork and chicken soup dumplings. I also wanted to try the beef shank noodle soup and Yanan was right about the shank being very tender and tasty. All the pan fried dumplings were good but will probably pass on the veggie ones. The triple delight and beef with scallions are my favorite. The mini juicy soup dumplings are essential for each visit and the chicken was surprisingly more favorable for me. There was only two of us but we ordered 9 dishes and finished all of them except a few veggie dumplings. Service: 5 Dumplings: 4 Beef shank: 4 Need to try their other dishes next time to see if they're good too. It's nice to have Chef June's dumplings to satisfy my cravings. read more

Excited to see this business open---always love eating some delicious comfort food. This is located in a strip mall so there is ample parking. They do have a dine in area but for the time being appear to be doing take out and delivery primarily. if ordering from their website there is currently a special for 10% off. Tried a bunch of different eats: potstickers/dumplings, soup dumplings (juicy buns), zha jiang noodles, Mongolian beef, salt and pepper pork chop, and fried rice. Enjoyed the potstickers and soup dumplings as well as the zha jiang noodles--will definitely be back to try the other handmade noodle dishes they have. For the stir fry entrees I ordered the lunch portions so it came with half an egg and rice and they were ok, nothing to get excited over. I would recommend the dumplings and hand made noodle dishes hands down! read more

I keep eating here. Triple delight dumplings are very good but not great...better hot oil would help. Liked the dan dan noodles but maybe a little salty for my low-sodium diet. Loved the salt & pepper pork chops...to heck with low-sodium...not greasy like other places...perfectly cooked. Had a cold noodle dish but I think they might have served me the wrong one. Small place, glad I come when it's empty. Wish the prices were a little lower but quality is there. read more

What a find! Chef June is the owner and chef. She worked in Michelin star restaurants and it shows. She's Chinese. Half the menu is homemade dumplings with the option of having them steamed or fried (pot stickers). She makes her own thin dumpling wrappers and fresh noodles for the noodle dishes. The other half of the menu is the traditional Chinese dishes you'd expect. We order several things to try a lot. We leaned towards more pork dishes because that's what we like but there are chicken, shrimp, beef and vegetarian dishes and soups too. Three of us shared a big bowl of won ton soup as a starter. Lovely broth and delicious pork won tons. Steamed triple delight dumplings (shrimp, pork and?). Beef and scallion fried dumplings/pot stickers. Pork mini juicy buns which are soup dumplings/XLB. A little pork belly gua bao sandwich. Zia-jiang noodles with ground pork, vegs and homemade noodles. The chef came out to check on us. Humble and gracious. They have been open 1 1/2 years, have tons of carry-out and Grub Hub delivery and sell as much traditional Chinese as they do dumplings and homemade noodle dishes. In a strip mall. No wait for a table during Saturday lunch. read more
