We were in the area shopping and wandered in for dinner. To our surprise this unassuming spot in the plaza was like entering an LA dumpling house but without the DinTai wait!!! (Iykyk) Friendly, clean, attentive service and simply good yummy food! We were very satisfied and happy to see reasonable prices, the diversity of both patrons and dishes very close to home! We'll be back! read more

WOW this place has survived. My first experience at this spot was at least 10 years ago. I've tried most of the menu. It's a hole in the wall spot that has great flavors and a kitschy vibe. A very typical no frills asian mom and pop type place. You don't come here for the service or the ambiance, you're here for the main event. Sometimes it takes 15 minutes, sometimes 30, thats all good. It's worth the slowness. They're forming hundreds of dumplings back there. Definitely a place that deserves your patronage. I recommend the standard dumplings and choose your filling. Pan-fried always hits. If you want tonkatsu or bibimbap as variety, they have it! read more

I really wanted to love The Dumpling House, but unfortunately, the food fell pretty short of expectations. We tried a few different varieties, but the execution across the board was lacking. The standard dumplings were noticeably dry and hard around the edges. It felt as though they had been sitting out for a while before being steamed, which completely ruined the texture. I ended up only eating the filling, which itself was just so-so. As for the specific flavors: Kimchi Dumplings: These were heavily unbalanced--heavy on the kimchi and very light on the vegetables, making them overwhelmingly sour. BBQ Beef Dumplings: On the flip side, these leaned way too far in the other direction and were overly sweet. Between the texture issues and the unbalanced flavors, this is not a place I would go back to. Two stars for the potential, but the execution just isn't there. read more

These are the best dumplings I've had in the US. The owners go above and beyond to provide the ultimate food experience. Great hospitality, amazing food, and that one special thing you can't seem to put your finger on. They have it. 10/10 It was 4 years ago, but thank you for the kind gesture on my birthday. A few mochi's and complimentary dumplings meant the world. San Francisco loves you! read more

Ambiance: it's a family style dumping place, located in a small and packed plaza, limited parking spots Service: terrible experience, it took a long time to place the order, let alone people arrived much later got their food served first, and basically no other service, self serving for utensils and water Food: simple menu items for comfort food Meat King 6pcs Pork & Beaf Mix - ** grocery frozen food quality, the skin of buns tasted sour and the mixed ground meat fillings were so dry Yukgaejang - *** Spicy Beef Leek Soup, stinky on protein and rubbery tasty Price: mediocre quality and affordable prices, about $20 per person read more

Great place for vegetarian options! My two friends and I came here on a Saturday around 2:30 pm and found parking in the small lot easily! It was pretty empty inside with only one other customer, very homey vibes! We ordered the Korean Icy Cold Noodles (4/5 - super refreshing but broth was sweeter than I realized it would be!), Kimchi Dumplings (4.5/5 - packed w nice pieces of kimchi and veg), and the King Veggie Dumplings (3.9/5 - not salty enough for me but better w dipping sauce and really fluffy bun!). This much food came to be about $60 w tip and the food was light but we all felt perfectly full! I would definitely come back to try more of the non-vegetarian dumplings too read more

Had a delivery from here today and not bad. Ordered the: Pan fried regular dumpling - Very, very good. Tasty and moist. Pork Xiao Long Bao - Yes I would order again. Order the pork, outstanding! Meat King Size Dumpling - I was expecting a BBQ Pork Bun, it wasn't. Though the meat inside was tasty, this one was a little dry with all the bun and limited sauce inside. Not sure I would order this again. Side note, the delivery girl just dropped off the order at my apartment's front desk and refused to give the desk attendant any information on my apartment, ie no apartment number or name to tell him who the order belonged to. Could have been a better delivery attempt. read more

I used to come here to get dumpling often, and tried most of them. Overall, they are good, the best one was king dumplings and others were okay. The customer service is so bad, specially the old guy, who seems not happy and always angry sadly.. The lady is nice all the time. The price is little bit overpriced. read more

Dumpling House - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I really wanted to like this place since it seemed like a small, local business, but the dumplings we got did not impress us. We got the regular pork dumplings, XLB, and the crab shumai. I thought the crab shumai was the best - it had a good flavor, but they were small and pricey. The XLB were solid, but needed more juice/flavor. The pork dumplings were the most disappointing. They were kind of hard and not super tasty. The inside of the restaurant was run down, and I had to kill a tiny bug that was crawling on the table when we first sat down. The inside of the dumpling pans were rusty, so that was also gross. Everything was around $40. We probs would have enjoyed dumplings from Ranch 99 as much as the dumplings we had here read more

Dumpling House - Menu - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This spot has saved me time and time again. Always reliable, always delicious and always filling beyond any reasonable expectation! I mostly get takeout but have some dine in before and let me tell you- it's the best secret a little corner/strip mall has ever had to offer. Be warned that they make everything to order so be prepared to wait a bit. My two items took 15 minutes. There are usually 2 people working at any given time and it can get a little busy so be prepared to wait. I rarely see the spot busy with dine-ins but don't let that fool you, it's beyond worth it! The king size dumplings are exactly that, not exaggerated and truly 'king size'! I can usually eat 2 or 3 if I reallllly try. Mine were with a mixture of pork, beef, glass noodles & veggies- these will fill you up. The pork xiaolongbao are perfectly plump and have a perfect portion of soup and meat inside. A little kick to them elevates their flavor to stand out from the king size dumplings. Though I generally order takeout, I love that it's packed with presentation in mind. The prices are amazing for a product you can taste was made with care and love. Each order comes with pickled veg (daikon?) and a yummy sauce that can be used dipping- or, as I do, for pouring directly into the dumpling itself. There can be a little bit of a challenge in understanding the employees sometimes so please be patient and kind just as they are with their customers. read more

The most homey, wonderful dumplings. I came here a while ago with friends after finding this place on a YouTube video. My friends and I love dumplings, and this place did not disappoint.

Food was terrific (had a variety of choices from the menu) and service was very personal and inviting. Loved it.

Unfortunately I can't say that I liked this place as much as I wanted to like it. The staff was really nice. I ordered the steamed kimchi dumplings, the pan fried pork and the beef bone soup. The major problem: the dumplings lacked flavor. Even the kimchi ones. I could taste some spicyness on them but the big thing both dumplings were lacking was salt. It's like someone forgot to put any salt or soy sauce in them. I also prefer a thinner softer wrapper than what we got. The soup was actually my favorite part. However if you're going to have your name be about dumplings then you actually have to make tasty dumplings Again I wanted to like it but I just don't think I'll be going back read more

Got the 8pc boiled pork dumplings. Fairly decent. $13 w tax. Small hole in the wall with a parking lot. If it's not busy they have to steam the dumplings so give yourself 10 to 15 minutes to pick up. read more

This is a small wife & husband operated business. The place is super cute, has a a lot of positive vibes just because of the decor. We got in around 9pm, they close by 9:30, but were kind enough to let us dine in until 10pm. We orders the vegetable pancake and they were yum and hot, freshly prepared. We got the kimchi dumplings which were good too, also got the veggie sushi, which to my surprise was very good, the veggies were sautéed in the sushi. Pretty good experience. read more

I was disappointed at this place to be honest. With so many good reviews and a YouTube video from eaterLA recommending this place, I thought I would have a very nice dinner here but turned out the food is just average and expensive. Staff was very nice and friendly but I hurt that I have to say I did not enjoy the food! The flavors were just very bland. It's missing so many things (salt/meat flavor). The only thing that was okay to rat the potsticker but with the price, we could do better at another place. I'm sorry to say that I won't be returning. Maybe others may find this place good read more

Delicious dumplings. A really wonderful, small business and a cute humble inside! The owners are so nice.

While this mom and pop shop has very nice owners, the food is not up to par. In the 8 fried dumplings we had, each only contained half a shrimp and not very much filling. The steamed dumplings tasted like the ones you can buy from a korean grocery store that is pre-made. If the prices were lower I would recommend, but the quality and taste were not up to par. Additionally, all drinks and water are self serve. Not a big deal, but when there are no side dishes that come with the meal it feels overpriced with no service. Better off steaming frozen dumplings at home from the grocery store, or pan frying some gyozas for 1/3rd of the price. read more

Bruh.... As soon as I walked in I saw warning flags but don't support type of business where they are plainly ripping you off... First of all the owner dude was rude and very pushy Second they have shumai which has 3 flavors. I got shrimp which costed me 10.99 and has 2 less pieces because its "shrimp". As soon as i took a bite I realized it taste just like those frozen Japanese dumplings packaged shumai w crab meats. Whats wild is that out of 3 flavors they have, they have crab meat. So this means they put little tiny shrimp on top of frozen japanese shumai which has nothing else but fake crab meat then overcharged on top of taking 2 pieces away from customers because its "shrimp shumai". There is nothing authentic or home like food in this place, just rude ass owner who is unappreciative and bad price scheme giving out frozen packages dumpling and calling it shumai. read more

So happy to be back here!!! The dumplings are still sooo tasty and the service is wonderful as always! I was so happy to come back. Me and my sister split the pork goon mandu (pan fried dumplings) & the steamed kimchi mandu. Portions were generous and they were so tasty! Everything came out piping hot and so fresh. I also loved the pickled soy sauce radish (jangajji) & house dipping sauce. Wish we lived closer so we could come often, but they also mentioned they sell their dumplings frozen!

A little "hole in the wall" place in Ktown that specializes in handmade & fresh mandu! | p a r k i n g | Located in a tiny plaza which makes it hard to park especially during prime hours. I recommend finding street parking nearby. | m e n u | SO many options to choose from. 1. Kimchi dumplings: The kimchi is so flavorful and packs a punch! Definitely worth trying because this is one of their most popular items. 2. XLB: pretty standard XLB. Unfortunately, they weren't as soupy/juicy as we had expected.. pretty dry actually. But it was most likely because we took them home to-go. Probably would've been best if they were fresh. 3. Vegetable king dumplings: Had so much filling and a good balance of meat and veggie! I definitely can't pop the whole thing in my mouth in 1 go. | t l ; d r | KOREAN DUMPLINGS GALORE. Best if eaten fresh in store though. Would recommend if you're in the mood for dumplings packed with deliciousness and love!! read more

Love this mom and pop Korean dumpling spot! I am vegetarian and got the pan seared veggie dumplings after reading other reviews saying pan seared was the way to go! The sauce was so tasty. The real star of the show was the veggie udon noodles! SUCH flavorful broth and yummy noodles. I would definitely get this again! Skip the steamed dumplings or drench them in sauce because my friends who got them said they're pretty dry. It's a no-frills kind of place, but if you like a hidden gem, this is it! It's not the easiest to find korean vegetarian food, and this was delish! read more

Dumpling House - Meat King Size Dumpling - Pork & Beef Mix (6pcs) Beef Handmade Noodle - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I came here after finally applying for my visa to China, but this time I was without friends. It was perhaps the first time I went out to eat alone in a long time. It is a weird social anxiety of mine that is also easily overridden by my desire to eat food. I ordered pork and kimchi dumplings because I think a Yelp review here suggested that. I do remember awkwardly going through Yelp before ordering. The dumplings tasted fresh, though I don't remember them being remarkably delicious or anything. Perhaps I should have ordered something more, but I was hoping to finally do the restaurant hopping in this plaza that I had originally intended (the Korean wing place is in the same plaza). I was saving room for more food which is why I ordered one plate of dumplings. If you know me well, you would know that I would otherwise order at least two types of dumplings. Next time, I'll bring a friend to make it less awkward. read more

Our group wanted to find a place to grab a quick snack, and since we all love dumplings, Dumpling House sounded great. There is a small lot dedicated for the businesses next to Dumpling House, but it's very limited. We opted to just take a metered parking spot on one of the neighboring streets. The restaurant itself is pretty small, which makes sense as it seems like the only workers here are a man and woman. Their menu is fairly vast, with several different options of dumplings, hot entrees, noodles, and even dessert. Steamed Beef Dumplings (8pc - $8.99): Definitely my favorite filling out of the other options that we got because it seemed more flavorful and juicy, along with the glass noodles that were mixed in. I wasn't a huge fan of the steamed method, as it made the folded edges a bit thick and hard to chew through. Pan-Fried Chicken Dumplings (8pc - $8.99): This was my favorite method of dumplings with the crispy outer shell but soft inner layer that surrounded the filling. Chicken definitely was drier than the Beef, and less flavorful. Xiao Long Bao [Pork] (8pc - $11.99): This didn't taste like a regular XLB in the sense of different flavoring / soup? Still was tasty, but I wouldn't call it a typical XLB. Overall, I think coming in a group of 4 or 8 makes things a lot easier to try a bigger variety of dumplings since most, if not all, of their options come in 8 pieces. Would come back again to try out the other entrees! read more

The prices that i was charged for did NOT match the prices on the menu and the worker was not very friendly nor willing to adjust my bill to the price they advertised. I ordered chicken fried rice which is advertised at $9.99 but was charged $15. I also ordered 8 piece chicken dumplings which was advertised at $8.99 but was charged $13. Also the chicken pieces in my rice was way over cooked and excessively dry which i wasn't very happy about considering I was overcharged. Poor customer service, bad attitudes, & false advertisement on prices isn't worth coming back for the food. read more
