I was pleasantly surprised to have some very good dumplings and noodles at this small order and go (or sit) spot. They are cooking in plain view, steaming in traditional bamboos steamers and delivering them to the table. Considering the location, adjacent to Disneyland, I was impressed with the price for very tasty food. read more

We were in the Anaheim area after exploring Disneyland and decided to try this place before calling it a night. Too bad for us because most of the items were already gone when we visited. They didn't have the XLB dumplings, which I was so looking forward to trying! Upon entering, the staff already told us to go ahead and order from the self-order screen, but they were there in case we had any questions. We ended up only getting the shumai, scallion noodle, the spicy wontons, and a fountain drink. 4 items, and it costs us about $45. The shu Mai was only 4 small pieces, the scallion noodles had a nice aroma, came with half an egg, and tasted pretty decent. The spicy wonton came pretty late, as we were wrapping up with the other items. The sauce was okay, but the wonton itself was so-so. This place supposedly had a Michelin star, but I think there are better restaurants out there. It's just that if you're in the area, there really aren't any other options if you're craving something like dumplings/noodles. The staff also doesn't make all the food fresh; if you order rice dishes, they come out of a plastic package, which they heat up and nicely plate. The place is small, but they do have seating areas both inside and outside. My only advice: hope you get there early enough to have the option to try the items you'd like, because once they run out, that is it for the day. read more

Was in the Anaheim area for a meeting and stumbled upon this place while searching for dinner. Come to find out, they are part of the chubby family! Of course, I had to try it out. As you enter, you order through an iPad, find a table to sit, and wait for your name to be called. Ended up getting the Wagyu beef dandan noodles, salt & pepper popcorn chicken, and steamed pork and shrimp dumplings. The menu seemed to be limited once dinner time came, so you are not able to order some items you might have wanted to try out. Overall experience: The dandan noodles blew my mind! The steamed dumplings were what I expected although the salt&pepper popcorn chicken seemed overcooked and tasted they were sitting out in the warmer for some time. read more

During my visit to Disneyland I found Chubby Dumplings while walking around. The next day I ordered dinner from their website to pick up. My order was ready early, packaged well, and tasted delicious. There was a good amount of seating inside and a few tables outside, but I took them to my hotel to eat. I ordered the Wagyu salt and pepper dumplings gyoza style, bbq pork bao buns, and garlic ponzu sauce. Everything was delicious, hearty, and fresh. Perfectly high in protein and carbs for my half marathon the next day. read more

Chubby Dumplings - Black Pepper Wagyu Beef Potstickers(6pcs) BBQ Pork Bao(1pcs) - Chinese Near Me - Anaheim, California

After attending an expo across the street we decided to try this place. Overall it was just ok. I still prefer the traditional style of dim sum. These appear to be a bit more modernized. The har gow and siu mai is as traditional as it can get, but these to me were still just ok. They didn't have much flavor as I would have expected. The chicken pot stickers were good but I just didn't like that they had corn in them. The won ton were ok. Just tasted a little bland. We also tried the custard bao, xiao long bao, wagyu bao...all of which was just ok. The flavor just wasn't there for me. Service was easy with their touch pad ordering and place was small. read more

Great restaurant with great food! I stopped by with a few friends here at this Chubby Dumplings and was very pleasantly surprised at how good the food is. It's a small, quaint little shop nestled in a little mini shopping plaza store front. We would have dined in, but the place was full and very busy with lots of orders. Kiosk ordering was the only way to order, which was perfect for me. I actually prefer it that way. The food took a bit to be made, but it was well worth the wait! The food it'sas so fresh, and the quality is top notch. You can tell this stuff is hand made. Very very very yummy!!! read more

Super cute walkable place from the Anaheim convention center! It is small and you have to order at the counter. It is easy to find and was a Michelin guide bib gourmand several years back! They were so busy they had to halt service for a little while to catch up on orders- but only after we ordered! Overall, I found the soup dumplings just fine, a little dry. The braised pork noodle dish was delicious and hit the spot! I would definitely recommend that! read more

I like their quick serve style. If there are no tables available when you arrive, just keep an eye out as the tables clear up pretty quickly. This is a bit between quick service and sit down. Those who sit down tend to leave as soon as they finish to do the next thing and won't really hog the table too long. Water is self-serve, so super great here. Food come out in little to-go containers, which I appreciate because now I don't have to wait a second time to head out. You can order at the kiosk as well, giving the employees here more time to focus on making the food. It's a really efficient restaurant. My only down side is it is on the pricier side for what they give you. Wagyu Beef Soup Dumplings (6P) -Very flavorful and juicy. But for the price and the way the beef is prepared? I recommend skipping if you're planning to order a lot. If it's the only thing you're ordering, go for it. Wontons in Szechuan Chili - I liked, but my friends LOVED. They ended up dipping the other dumplings into this sauce because it was so flavorful. You'll get 4 thumbs up from them Dan Dan Sesame Noodles - Good chunk of noodles, good flavor, gives you a bit more filling if you're pairing it with noodles Popcorn Chicken - Yeah, I know it's a basic choice, but no regrets. The seasoning for the chicken was spot on. And if you combine it with the sauce from the Szechuan chili? Superb. Try eating them separately, but don't be afraid to mix the sauces too. Chubby Dumpling ruined other dumpling spots for us. read more

Wanted to like this place more, but honestly can't recommend it. Prices are incredibly high for the mediocre quality of food and dumplings provided. Tables and service area is dirty and sticky. Not sure when they cleaned everything. Trays and surfaces are wet and gross. Food portions are tiny. The noodle dish clearly felt slapped together with cold food from the fridge - the egg and veggies were refrigerator cold, while the noodles and beef sauce were hot. Staff is fine. Parking is very limited in the hotel/Walgreens parking lot adjacent. Limited seating inside. I think most of the folks who loved this place don't eat a lot of Chinese-style dumplings. Would probably not recommend. read more

Stopped by to try the original Xiao Long Bao (XLB). This was more of a quick serve fast casual restaurant concept. You place the order via a kiosk and hunt down a place to sit and eat. The location definitely gets a lot of foot traffic because of its proximity to Disneyland and the convention center. I was bummed to see that the original pork XLB was sold out when we got there. We pivoted and ordered the wagyu XLB instead. The dumpling was juicy and tasty. We had to be careful pulling the bao off the steam paper, thankfully it's in a take out container so we didn't lose the soup in the steamed baskets. I also ordered the popcorn chicken and shumai which was good as well. But was mainly there to try the XLBs. We wanted to order more XLB and found out even the beef XLBs were sold out which meant we had probably took the last few order while we were there. Will probably need to get there earlier if we wanted to have the original XLBs. read more

Dumpling place near Disney and stays open pretty late! Theres parking in the back where the Walgreens is not a bunch but didnt see too bad. Its kinda small inside but still enough seating. The owner was very nice and the employees. Its self order on the iPad. The food was very good ! My personal favorite was the shumai so good. The portions are a bit small. For dessert we got the custard buns 10/10 so good. This place also got a Michelin award so you know its good lol read more

We arrived in Anaheim at our hotel late and weren't too hungry but then decided at the last minute that we were hungry but it was almost 10 PM on a Monday! Luckily we saw this restaurant only a couple of walkable blocks away. We made it there and were worried we would get subpar service because we were there less than an hour before closing but this was not the case. People working were friendly and food came out fast. We enjoyed all that we ordered! Other customers were still eating too and looked to enjoy their food and time. We sat at a table outside and enjoyed the patio setting! read more

I am so disappointed they changed the menu and all my favorite items are gone, the food is ok but not great. Service is ok, you order from a tablet and they call out your number. The place still has a lot of customers. This is the last time I will probably be visiting. read more

I really don't get the hype of this place. The flavors were really bland and the surfing sizes are not as big compared to the price. Dumplings really needed the sauce to enhance the flavor. The only thing that was good there was the chili sauce. Dumplings were not as crispy in the pan fried. Custard was so small. I can barely even taste the custard. It was more flour than cream. It's just convenient by the convention center in Disney. read more

We came here during Pokemon World Championships weekend so it was extremely busy and several items were already sold out. The pork xlb was sold out and we got probably the last batch of beef wagyu xlb since I saw that it was sold out after we ordered. The store is small with some seating but it got very crowded with so many people coming in to order and moving around. It was my first time trying wagyu beef xlb, it was decent and juicy. My kids enjoyed the popcorn chicken. There is free parking in the plaza. I hope to come back again when it's not as crowded and all the menu items are available to try this restaurant again. read more

Families Beware We stopped by Chubby Dumpling while visiting Anaheim because our family loves Asian food. Unfortunately, we never got the chance to try the food because of the way we were treated. When I asked if they had a kids' menu, the gentleman behind the register (long curly hair, darker complexion) scoffed, smiled, and said, "We don't have a kids' menu," in a way that made it feel like my question was ridiculous. That was enough to make us feel unwelcome before we had even ordered. The ironic part is that we weren't looking for chicken nuggets and fries. Our kids have grown up eating pho, bún bò Huế, ramen, dumplings, vermicelli bowls, salmon, teriyaki chicken, and all kinds of Asian cuisine. Our 4-year-old regularly eats broth over rice, and our 13-year-old has been eating pho since before they were a year old. We were simply hoping for smaller portions because kids don't eat as much as adults. I was honestly surprised that a restaurant located so close to Disneyland, where thousands of families visit every day, doesn't offer a kids' menu or any kid-sized portions. The least expensive fried rice option was around $17-18 for a vegetable fried rice with no meat. That's a lot to spend on a meal for a child when much of it will likely go to waste while you're on vacation. We ended up leaving without ordering anything. I'm disappointed because I was genuinely looking forward to trying the dumplings. They may be excellent--I honestly don't know because we never got the opportunity. Unfortunately, the customer service made us decide to spend our money elsewhere. If you're visiting with children, don't assume a restaurant serving dumplings and other Asian dishes near Disneyland will have family-friendly portions or a welcoming attitude. Based on our experience, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. read more

Absolute waste of $20. Fast casual dining establishment, order at a touch screen and they have the nerve to ask for tip. Lol. They were sold out of soup dumplings.... At lunch time. ???? How are you going to be out of your signature product. 4 pieces of siu mai for $7.50? Are you out of your mind? On top of that, the skins were disintegrating and ripped. Ended up getting the pepper beef dumplings. For $12.50. WTF. No pepper flavor, could hardly taste anything except the undercooked dumpling skin that was hard AF. Only comfort was to drown it in the mediocre sauce that they forgot to give me and had to go back and ask for. read more

We wanted to try this with the reviews and right under our hotel. It's a narrow restaurant with all high counter seating and you order on a big screen so no interaction with the workers. Easy ordering but a lot of things were out and this was like at 1pm. Let's get into the food. The cucumbers were literally flavorless. As many times as I dipped it in the sauce, it was just regular tasting cucumbers. Super disappointed. We got the sui mai which was ok, and the spicy pork wontons which were the best things we ate. We even used that sauce to dip our cucumbers in and that made it taste a lot better. We also got like a popcorn chicken type thing and it was over cooked and hard and just not good. We will not be back read more

Chubby Dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Anaheim, California

I came here because this place has one Michelin star. I'm not sure how they got a Michelin star but I guess for the Disney area it is true to flavor, speaking of the dumplings. I don't wanna be mean, but the Wagyu beef had no flavor and it tasted like it was expired and all bloody and thawed out for a while and stored by something hot. This place is kind of like a 7- Eleven if you've been to the one in Hawaii before. It's like a place where everything's kind of pre-cooked. The meal does the job to give you sustenance when you're in a rush, especially to Disneyland since it's across the way and it's opened late and employees are very kind, very attentive and friendly as they do love their job. read more

Not really good service The food is average Got a problem in English communication Hope the owner will changing the better way to service the customer read more

Self service ordering, pretty straight forward. A few tables and a bar type area. Braised egg, the sauce was really yummy. Each other comes with 2 eggs that is sliced in half. My favorite was the sweet and sour ribs. It was sweet and meat was tender. Wonton in chili sauce had the same sauce as the eggs, so that was enjoyable. Wish the wonton had more filing. Wonton soup had the same wonton, soup had a miso taste with seaweed. Porkchop had a good flavor and nice crispy texture. Minus one star for the rude staff. read more

Conveniently located close to Disneyland park. There's parking at the hotel behind the restaurant with free electric car charging. Food is decent for the fast casual restaurant, but it's no dintaifung for sure, not are they trying to be. Ordering is easy via a kiosk. We went on a Friday evening and there was a short wait. Otherwise food came out ok. They don't score points for presentation cuz it's all in to go containers. Taste was good. Quality was average. Decent option near Disney! read more

Beware of many items not being available when you come here! I looked ahead on the menu online and was hoping to get some classic dumplings like siomai, BBQ pork buns, and soup dumplings. You walk inside and there's a self-order kiosk. The tablet showed a LOT of items out of stock (and of course what I wanted were part of them). They were also out of their entire wonton section. The menu items you can order now were drastically limited. So I ended up with the shrimp pork siomai dumplings (6 ct) and a rice bowl. I wanted to get a different bowl, but that was out too, so I went with the braised pork bowl. My order came out very quickly though! The guy who prepared and called my order out was very friendly and gave good customer service.For the bowl, I found it to be pretty heavy with much rice! The ratio of rice and meat to the bowl was like 90% rice and 10% meat and veggies. The pork was tender and flavorful, strong on the sweet side. They were small pieces of meat and the bok choy veggies were yummy but also small in size. I finished the bowl but sadly had so much rice leftover. I wish the ratio was more balanced out with more meat, but the prices are good for the meal and for the location being nearby Disneyland.The shrimp pork siomai was steamed well and chewy. They were delicious thankfully! Located below a Hilton hotel and near its parking lot, this spot is convenient to walk to and enter from for hotel guests, or for people walking on the main street. It's also close by a bus stop! *has bathroom *quick service *outdoor seating also *ideal for quick lunches read more

Sis saw they had a Michelin Guide Gourmand designation (ie: quality food that's reasonably priced) so we dropped in and as we entered we saw it was empty and not too fancy, so we were worried. We ordered from the kiosk and half the items were marked as they had run out. I was worried. We ordered the cucumber, the pork dumpling in spicy sweet chili sauce, and the custard bun. The cucumber was only $2.50 and it had to be full cucumber they used so that's definitely a great deal. My favorite bite was the custard bun, all sweet and savory after I sprinkled soy sauce on it. It was the evening so I was surprised there was enough parking. read more

Enjoyed chubby dumplings here but didn't think this place lived up to a michelin gourmand rating? This place first of all is a casual dining establishment where you order first and then sit down. It's very fast food eque which kinda threw me off. Overall, the food wasn't bad but the whole experience just felt very fast food chain and based on the kitchen, I dont think any of the food is truly prepared "fresh". Would tell yelpers to pass on this area. PS There is parking behind the restuarant. I parked in the same lot that it shares with the hotel nearby. read more

This was my first time here, and unfortunately it was a very disappointing experience. We ordered a beef noodle soup, pork xiao long bao, and a minced pork noodle soup around 8:00 PM. The pork xiao long bao came out around 8:20 PM, but after that, we waited over an hour for the two noodle dishes. Around 9:10 PM, we asked the staff about our missing food. The person at the front blamed another employee who had gone on break, and our order had apparently been made as takeout instead of dine-in. It wasn't remade until around 9:25 PM. Before that, we had already asked multiple times about our missing food, and each time the staff just said, "One moment," but never came back to update us. The restaurant is small, and it was obvious we had been sitting there with only one dish for over an hour. On top of the poor service, I was also concerned by what I saw in the kitchen. One cook was touching multiple pieces of kitchen equipment and utensils before reaching into the freezer and handling frozen dumplings without changing gloves or washing their hands. I also saw another cook holding a bundle of noodles against his shirt before cooking them. Seeing these food handling practices was unsanitary and made me question the restaurant's cleanliness and food safety standards. Waiting over an hour after paying while watching everyone else get served was incredibly frustrating, especially since we were starving. To make matters worse, the food wasn't even worth the wait. Poor service, poor communication, and disappointing food. I won't be coming back. read more

In the area and decided on trying out Chubby Dumplings. Ordered at the kiosk, although service was friendly enough to ask if I had questions or needed help -I appreciated that. Dumplings came out two at a time, as I ordered several dumplings and unfortunately the camera did't get to eat all the dishes (lol). I did enjoy the Taiwanese popcorn chicken, ordered it spicy and it wasn't spicy at all. Very mild flavor and could of used more heat. Truffle Chicken soup dumplings were decent, as the hint of truffle was very mild and not too overpowering. Indoor and outdoor seating. Very casual interior. Restroom available here. Parking is a bit of a pain, as the restaurant is sharing it's parking with the hotel here too. Although, if you have an electric car, Tesla charging is free, while you park -as it's the lower power, slower charging station. read more

I'm chubby and I love dumplings so naturally I had to give this place a try. Located at the Hyatt House, it offers tasty food at reasonable prices. Their crab dumplings were scrumptious and so were their pot stickers. Portions seemed like they could have been more but honestly, I was full after only having a few. Meant to be shared, if you're a foodie like me, you can eat everything in one sitting. Service is quick and the place is clean. I could have dined in but decided to take the food back to my hotel to enjoy. I wouldn't hesitate to pick up food from here again when I'm town. read more

Sad to report that the best thing about this place was the chopsticks. The food tastes like it was frozen and just dipped in water. The broth inside the soup dumplings is very minimal and they could try and keep the broth "cleaner" by not reheating frozen dumplings. The wagyu beef bao was all dough with no flavor. The chicken pot stickers were the same quality as the frozen ones you can pick up at Costco. The service was ok. The ambiance would have been good if all the tables were cleaned and picked up. We also had to wipe down our own table. I understand the location must play a big part, being so close to Disneyland. But do not come here expecting something amazing. It's mediocre at best and for the price you pay, it should be at the minimum, good. I did take some chopsticks to go though. read more

Good food, decent for the price. Definitely a bit more Americanized but that's what you get for the location. You order at the counter (either person-to-person or from their self-service kiosk) & the food is brought out to you. The wontons were juicy but didn't taste freshly made (unlike DTF). Spicy sauce was maybe 4/10 spice level, good flavor though. The egg rolls were decent, nothing amazing. The bao buns were probably the best part. Nice, fluffy, custard filled goodness. Worth checking out if you're in the area but not entirely sure it's a place I'd go back to. read more

Arrived ~11:45am and many dishes were out of stock. We ordered dumplings and noodles, both were decent for a quick bite. For one dish we ordered they didn't have the pork ribs so they substituted for Wagyu beef which we already had with our dandan noodles and gave us a free drink. While it was a nice gesture, I would've preferred to be notified beforehand to check if that was ok with us, and given the option to order something else instead or offer a refund since what we originally wanted wasn't available. The server was apologetic and admitted he forgot to remove it from the menu and mark it as out of stock. Inside is casual - there are high tables & chairs and self serve soda machine. If I was hungry and in the area I might stop by but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. read more

Chubby Dumplings - Top: Wagyu DanDan Noodle; bottom: supposed to be pork ribs but they subbed Wagyu because pork ribs were out of stock - Chinese Near Me - Anaheim, California

Just checked in to our hotel after a long drive from the Bay Area and wanted something quick and easy. We looked at the menu first and saw some items that interested us. We show up at 1:30pm on a Friday and everything with their Wagyu is sold out . All of their Baos were sold out as well. We did find a couple items like the noodles with chicken that my kids ended up really enjoying. The shu mai was edible but just barely. The worse was their hargow. These things were AWFUL. They were hard on the ends and were damn near inedible. I would not recommend even trying to order these. Don't think we'd ever come back but a little curious how the wagyu and bao options are when in stock. read more

First night my friends and I tried to go here, their steamer was down and could not make any of the dumplings. Second night, we decided to get Uber Eats, and once again the steamer was down. I know that's something the employees can't control but definitely needs to be looked. Our delivery driver called to let us know one of the steamed dumplings was out because the steamer was down and asked if we wanted something else, so I asked to double the pork sesame wontons. My friend and I started eating as though nothing was wrong but my friend noticed the inside wasn't fully cooked and some of the wontons we're still pink. Luckily our hotel room has a microwave so we heated it up the rest of the way through. The popcorn chicken was cooked perfectly, but both dishes tasted a bit salty by the time we were done. read more

Well, since their soft opening, we did return with the hope of enjoying a good meal. However, the small space was packed with barely any room for crowd control while people waited for orders. When we received our to-go order, it was missing the proper additions of sauces to enjoy these very items on the menu! At 6pm, almost half of the menu items were unavailable so clearly they don't have any sense of their inventory to keep up with their own menu. VERY disappointed with the service, accuracy of filling the order, and crowded ambiance. They probably need to rethink how they run this place if they care to stay busy and successful. read more

I love Chubby Cattle so when I was in the OC I had to go and visit Chubby Dumpling. I ordered the chicken (they ran out of pork) spicy wontons, the crab and pork xiaolongbao, and a few noodle dishes to go. It's fairly self service but there was a really nice guy at the counter answering my questions. They had bamboo shoots in a lot of things and were able to remove it on request since I'm allergic. The wontons were good. The xlb needs to be a bit soupier, but overall pretty good. The noodles were decent, but didn't reheat as well as I would have hoped. Overall I would come back if I needed a quick meal since it's cheap and fast! read more
