These were the worst dumplings and noodles I have ever had. Worse than the frozen dumplings I make at home. The dumpling skin was soggy and fillings were tasteless. Noodles were also soggy and the dan dan noodles were soupy for some reason. Definitely not an authentic experience. Ripoff for the price for food. read more

Went to try this place with my mom and it was so yummy. The waiter was kind and helpful and the price was great considering we've spent way too much money on dumplings in the past. We ordered the spicy wontons, pork soup dumplings, popcorn chicken, and shrimp dumplings. All of it was very flavorful and piping hot. I didn't even feel the need to use the sauces they provided. Will definitely be coming again! read more

Chubby Dumplings - Pork dumplings, spicy wontons, shrimp dumplings - Japanese Near Me - Burbank, California

5 star dumpling joint! Authentic, dumplings wrapped in house! Great add to our community!

Soft opening review. Stumble upon this place and my daughter wanted to try the noodles. I am not a fan of noodles but the ones she ordered were amazing. We also ordered some dumplings and they were delicious. Place is casual, cozy and aesthetic. We were given a courtesy order of the pork bao and a sweet one with mango filing and they also very very good. I can see myself craving this place. Godspeed read more

Went to try chubby dumplings for lunch today. I was told before ordering that they might not have what we want since it's soft opening such as combo. So I ordered dan dan noodles and shezhuan dumpling. For Dan dan, I was a bit skeptical as the noodles don't look the same as in picture. The menu picture shows small yellow noodles which is typical dan dan noodles but the actual noodles is big noodles. Despite the type of noodles, it's delicious. The shezhuan dumpling is super tasty. The sauce is phenomenal. I'd come back to order this again. The server is super friendly. Will come back to try their other menu. read more

I went to Chubby Dumplings on the night of the Soft Opening with my son and niece. We ordered several things to share and everything was tasty! The customer service was great too! I will be going back soon! read more

Not a bad place! It is FAST food, the ingredients feel cheap and it's not cooked to seasoned well. I don't think it was worth the price for what it was, honestly. Popcorn chicken was the best thing we tried. Rice was bland. We got dumplings and they tasted like frozen Trader Joe's dumplings (they weren't but they were similar). Below average place, most things aren't worth it. The popcorn chicken was the best bang for your buck! read more

so so filling!! as someone who's eaten dim sum growing up, this was a pleasant surprise in terms of quality, esp w the time it took for it to come out. the shu mai meat was really juicy and i liked the chili oil a lot :) read more

Chubby Dumplings - shu mai and chili dumplings - Japanese Near Me - Burbank, California

Good fast and cheap. If you're going to the movies and sick of the normal cinema offerings this place hits the spot. Also the service is great. The gentleman with the glasses, Miguel, is so lovely. He treated us like we were at a very fancy restaurant. What a gem. Glad we found this little spot. read more

Poor service overall. The older guy with glasses was always on his phone and not attentive to customers. We had to wait longer than necessary for basic service. read more

Excellent service, nice atmosphere and delicious dumplings and wontons. Try the vegan dry noodles for a different take .

I first tried to call ahead, and no one picked up the phone. I was super excited to go because the reviews looked promising. Little did I know... their menu and kiosk didn't match in terms of pricing and quantity AND they advertised combos that they weren't serving yet. There was AI art on the wall that contributed to the dystopian experience. The dumplings remind me of the Trader Joe's frozen dumplings. Workers were nice, but other than that would not come back. read more

Chubby Dumplings - pork soup dumplings and dan dan noodles - Japanese Near Me - Burbank, California

Visited this place on Aug 31st because of the Labor Day long weekend. Ordered the 8 pieces steamed beef wontons/dumplings, very taste with the homemade sauce. Perfect amount of food before I went into the theater to see a movie! It's a small clean casual sit-down eatery! Staffs are friendly! Will go again for a quick bite! read more

Just tried this few hours ago.. WOW! food was so yummy!! I got the wonton ramen and black pepper wagyu wonton- so so good! The noodles of the ramen were perfects and the flavor of the wonton was so good. Sometimes i get tired if wonton right away- but i kept wanting more if that wagyu wonton!! Service was great too- there's a guy with glasses (forgot to get his name) and Vanessa up front who were really helpful. Vanessa walked me through ordering on the kiosk and was super nice when i had questions/ needed something. Ambiance is great too. This place is tucked in between other food establishment, but it was so clean and chill. Music was great as well! Definitely a chill hangout spot! read more

I'm officially obsessed. The dumplings are perfectly steamed, the skins are soft but don't fall apart, and the fillings are super tasty. Paired with their chili oil? Next level. The food alone is worth a trip across town. Chubby Dumpling has been a game-changer, and Vanessa is amazing! She always communicates clearly, selects the freshest produce, and delivers with a smile. It feels good supporting someone local who really takes pride in their work. The ambiance here is just right. It's not too loud, not too quiet--just a calm, welcoming space to enjoy your dumplings. The layout is open, and the colors give a chill, modern feel. I could hang out here all afternoon. read more

Omg, finally Burbank has good Chinese food! Total lifesaver for me - sometimes I just crave real Chinese food, but most places are at least a 20-minute drive away. This was my first time trying wagyu soup dumplings, and wow... the filling was so juicy and flavorful. Honestly, they've replaced pork soup dumplings as my new favorite. read more

I've been to this spot 3 times already since its soft opening. It's been a great choice for 1-2 people. The portion of the food allows us to try more dishes at a time. I've almost tried everything on the menu, the spicy wonton is my favorite, a bit sweet and not too spicy, I'd give it a 10/10. Overall, love this spot! read more

Chubby Dumplings - Japanese Near Me - Burbank, California

The prices are pretty high for the amount you get, but even worse is the menu is a complete lie. They say it's because they're in soft opening... But they are open. Combos are not yet available. And all ordering has to be done through a kiosk in front of a person... you can't just order through the person. Why? It makes no sense. Then when you go to use the kiosk, which again does not list everything the posted menu lists, 90% of the stuff there was also not available/out of stock. If you're going to be open, either stock what you list or don't list it. Just a silly system all around. read more

Delicious dumplings in the area! The best were the soup dumplings and definitely recommend those and the desserts! read more

Eating here was not a positive experience. The menu is misleading. While the kiosk system is convenient , the photos on the menu and the advertisements are clearly AI and do not reflect the quality of the actual items . I ordered the pork and cabbage dumplings which arrived fully pink. The chef said "that was how it was supposed to look." The whole situation turned my stomach and I did not finish my overpriced dumplings. read more

Cute little fast food dumpling set up. Dumplings and noodles were pretty good. Dumplings in chili oil were my favorite and the Dan Dan noodles were a good choice. Quick service, easy ordering at a kiosk or from the cashier. Self serve fountain drinks. read more

Cute little restaurant food is pretty good but when we went there was much seating inside because it was busy. But other than that no complaints. read more

They were very considerate and friendly. The food was really good. I had the steak ramen and custard buns. Looking forward to going back again. read more

My girlfriend and I come to this location a few times a week. The cook, who might be the manager, with glasses older guy, was tucked into the wall in the kitchen. I believe he was on his phone, but I don't think he ever changed his gloves at all while making food or bringing it to our table. They also have a small utility cart sometimes blocking the ordering screens or the soda machine. read more

I've been visiting here for the past two months since the company hired a new chef who is very kind and always cooks with love and flavor. I was there on Sunday evening and was saddened to learn it was his last day, as he will no longer be with the company. Unfortunately, I won't be returning because I feel the service and food won't be the same without him. read more

Nice, clean "chain" restaurant. Had a pretty good dinner prior, but was still hungry and was craving spicy dumplings. Lots of choices. I settled for the wontons in chili oil. They were very flavorful with plenty of chili oil. Some heat but not excessive with lots of good flavor. Too bad there are not Chubby Dumplings in Arizona. Would try again along with other choices if in the area again. read more

This place is a Gem..... great food! Great service and great price! Will definitely come back! Shout out to Carlos the manager for being so nice and taking care of us :) read more

Ordered the Taiwanese beef noodles, the beef was very tender and tasty, the pork and shrimp shumai was also good

Highly recommend Chubby Dumplings! Very delicious food and amazing service. We loved the wagyu wontons and noodles

The food here was really solid. The staff and customer service was phenomenal. We tried the beef wontons and cucumber. Both items were a 10 out of 10. read more

Me and my finance stopped here during the soft opening. This place is amaze-dumplings!! Everything tastes so good. But the tops is the server. Carlos is the best. He made the experience for pleasant. Definitely coming back! read more

They were out of beef dumplings but the noodles n pot dumplings were good. Hits the spot!

Love this place! Incredible flavors I've never tasted before. And incredibly reasonable!

Ordered her s couple times mainly getting the popcorn chicken and dumplings which are pretty good. But this time ordering the beef noodle soup was a major disappointment. I wish for to go orders they would separate the noodles from the soup so by the time i get home the noodles didn't soak up all the broth. The flavors were...ok. The beef is soft but something about the overall flavor felt off. The staff are nice, but it does feel like they're not sure of things when i drop by. read more

I would like to say that this is now my favorite dumpling place. Food was excellent and the service was outstanding! Carlos thank you for the wonderful service!!! You are awesome! I will definitely come back here! read more

Only giving you four stars because you dont have the vegan dumplings on your menu anymore

Food and service was great ! I recommend the wagyu dumplings. Too bad they didn't have soup dumplings but that's for next time!

The food came out nice and warm and it didn't feel like fast food, it was well made and tasted exceptional!! The staff was incredibly friendly and the ambiance was nice and relaxed. I spent time with a friend there having a good chat and enjoying the food. read more

Fantastic to have a good dumpling place outside of the SGV, so far everything we tried was top notch. All of the dumplings are excellent, and while I was skeptical of ordering the noodles (they are hard to do right in a fast-casual setting) they were really tasty with a nice chewy texture and great flavors. Staff is helpful and it's a cute place. The manager said they were putting some tables outside soon, which will be nice for the fall. We've put in on our list for a weekly office lunch, and bring the whole crew there, it's such fun to get a whole table of dumplings and try a little of everything. I've been waiting for something like this in Burbank for years! Thanks guys! read more

We went for the second day of the soft opening. As dumpling lovers, we were very excited for a new spot to open in Burbank! My bf got the wagyu dumplings, and he said they were the best gyoza he's ever had. He also got the beef dry noodles and liked them a lot. I tried a bite of both and they were awesome. I got the pork soup dumplings, they were fabulous. I also got the chicken wonton soup. This one was less stellar. Not bad by any means, but it did feel just a hair bland and I think they overdid the cilantro. I dumped my chubby dumpling sauce in there and it improved it. Overall really great experience. The staff was attentive and helpful. We're very exited to have this new place in Burbank, we will be back frequently! read more
