I live within delivery distance of ixlb DimSum Eats, so while I've never been to the restaurant in person, I've enjoyed the food on multiple occasions. It travels well and also makes for great leftovers. The menu is heavy on dumplings, and I've loved every variety I've tried. The eponymous xlb, or xiao long bao, are quite tasty, though they probably suffer more than the other offerings from a trip in a car. These are juicy pork dumplings with ground pork, cabbage, ginger, garlic, and scallion, dripping with melty pork soup. I also enjoy the cha siu bao, soft buns stuffed with chopped BBQ honey roast pork. If you like shrimp, both the har gow and the shrimp wonton with chili oil are excellent. I prefer my wontons steamed, but I'm sure the fried ones are good, too. If chicken is more your thing, the pan fried chicken dumplings are solid and the chicken siu mai are lovely, with chicken, sweet corn, and ginger in a delicate egg wrap. I sometimes supplement my dumplings with the pickled cucumber, cold and spicy, or some noodles. The cold sesame roasted garlic noodles are pretty satisfying. The one thing I haven't liked here is the chicken over rice noodles. It's just kind of a bland dish, gently tinged with ginger. On the plus side, my toddler loves them. (He's also greedy for dumplings. It's always a good day for him when we order from this place.) I wouldn't go to ixlb expecting SGV-level dim sum in Hollywood, but it's a stellar delivery option, and the dumplings really hit the spot. Maybe one day I'll find my way to the actual storefront, but for now, I'm glad I can sate my dim sum cravings at home. read more

Pretty food place in Hollywood. I got 5x xlb and pork rice. it was only $13 I believe. The xlb was tasty but a little small and not hot. The pork rice was very good. I recommend this for a cheap good place. The good prices are doing a lot of work here. read more

I was craving dim sum and this satisfied my cravings. I ubered it so the food was warm, but I heated it up by microwaving it with a damp paper towel on top. Shrimp and chives dumpling -5/5 The dumpling was pretty stuffed with filling and was flavorful. Sticky rice balls - 5/5 My favorite because it was an interesting take on lao mai gai, instead of lotus leaf it was wrapped in dough. Xiao long baos - 5/5 Very juicy and the meat was tender. Char siu baos - 4/5 Good but the dough was a bit too doughy. Nonetheless still pretty good. read more

Free parking in the back valet. They do accept tips. I didnt have cash so i tiped with bread since they mentioned they liked the sweet bread at the store. Ordered using the tablet. I like their dessert with pineapple inside and their egg tart. Their chicken sui mai had corn which i wasn't used to. Their Chinese broccoli was delish and so was their char sui pork supper flavorful. Quick service and friendly ppl. Lots of seating and not too crowded on a Thursday evening.

Convenient and delicious!! Very nice staff as well! We ordered the Char Siu Bun and shrimp wontons and they were quick to arrive and fresh!

As I truly wanted to like this little cute spot the flavor was just not on point for my taste buds. Ordered the chicken shumai and some edemame (that was way too overcooked or microwaved) tasted like the frozen one from Costco. Service was friendly and welcoming but the food is definitely lacking some love. I go to the farmers market every week and gotta say that Bun Boss has to be my favorite!!! read more

Hands down best Dim Sum I've had in LA! This place and the flavors are amazing and so spot on. Soo clean too

Very tasty dim sum at a great price. This is a quick fast-food type of place with a few tables and counter seats, a fair amount of seating for the small space actually. Ordering on the tablets is easy and they bring the food out to you, reasonably quickly. Soup dumplings are small but delicious, good meat:broth proportion and served up in individual ramekins, great for delivery if you need them to-go. Fried chili wontons were a delightful surprise, airy and crispy with tons of shrimp. They also have meat + rice dishes for my gluten-intolerant dining companion. read more

This place is next door to my climbing gym. What a dangerous combination. But at least I can walk over because I usually find the parking lot full. I like that you can order at a tablet and then they call your name or number when ready. I'm very surprised how cheap it is for being on sunset blvd. I've tried most of the menu and everything is a hit. Not sure this place as any misses. There is something for everyone! It's usually hard to find a table/counter to eat at and doesn't feel like it's set up for people to stay and socialize. So I recommended grab and go. read more

I'm gonna say this was legit food being from Vegas. I ordered Uber eats and it still was impressive. I cannot even imagine how good it would be table side food was well seasoned and packaged. They were fast. Gave utensil when asked. Also the pineapple pastry thin amazing. The cucumber salad was also a hit with my toddler. I can't say enough. Best part of the trip. I couldn't even take proper pics I was too hungry read more

..Parking can be tuff but, the food makes it worth the drive from Long Beach. Its always fresh, hot, made to order and the absolute best ingredients! No skimping on the quality for sure. The staff is very welcoming and the place is clean. I brought some family from San Diego & LA to dine in, before going to Hollywood Forever for some cemetery sight seeing. My Aunt & Sister are picky about their food... They "LOVED" it, couldnt get over how good every bite was.. I %100 recommend this spot!! Ronnie, LBC read more

We came here for dinner while visiting LA and staying in Hollywood. I did not realize it's more of a fast food Dim sum place so that's on me. We ordered Chinese broccoli, turnip cake, xiaolong bao, scallion pancake, and egg tarts. The scallion pancake was the best part of the meal. The xlb were okay but came in individual tins which seemed odd. The Chinese broccoli was good and piping hot. The turnip cake was not crispy enough. I didn't like that soy sauce and chili oil were extra and chili oil did not have flakes or garlic in it. My friend said that's pretty typical for LA which is wild to me! The people working the counter were very kind and checked in on us often. There's not a lot of space to sit but it was late so we had most of the restaurant to ourselves. I think this is a good place if you want a quick bit of dim sum. read more

This place continues to be so good and affordable! Last time, the soup dumplings were disappointing and a bit dry. This time, they came out piping hot and much more juicy, but I still felt they were a little more empty than I would have liked. The scallion pancake was great, as were the fried shrimp dumplings. However, my favorite is still the balls of rice with pork and baby shrimp. So filling and delicious! I think it's one of the best-value items you can get. It wasn't too hard for our party of 3 to find a table, though the space is small. The food came out relatively quickly. We found parking right across the street. read more

This is a good fast casual place. I like to pick up food here after I go to the nail salon next-door. It's definitely not that great and it's an open kitchen, which you can look into sometimes I worry that it it's not that clean, but the food is pretty good. I like that you can order on iPads, but it's definitely not the type of place you want to sit and eat at read more

My friend's dad used to work at ixlb as a cook so I knew that it would be authentic. I ordered via Uber Eats since I had a $0 delivery promo code. Everything was packaged well. I really liked the har gow, shrimp and chive dumplings, veggie dumplings, turnip cake, green onion pancakes, and garlic noodles. All these items tasted really good and just like the ones in 626. I have no complaints. The egg custard tart, however, is one of the worst that I've ever eaten. I ate half and threw the remaining ones away. Both the custard and the pastry had zero flavors and not sweet at all. Bland all around. Pretty sure something went wrong with this batch. read more

I've been craving dim sum lately and randomly found this place when I was driving down Sunset Blvd! So happy I gave it a try. They have a pretty good variety of items and the food came out super quick. The Shao Mai was a favorite of mine and the red bean bun baos were so soft, fluffy and flavorful. Don't forget the sesame balls, perfectly crispy and delicious! read more

Ixlb Dim Sum Eats - Dim Sum Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My cousin was staying nearby and we walked over here for some good dim sum. We ended up ordering way way too much food for just the two of us but we gladly took the leftovers back to his place to eat later. We ordered a little bit of everything to try and loved all of it. They are more of a quick eats type of place - you can order and pay all on a tablet...but man...if they took over a dim sum restaurant in Chinatown or somewhere in the valley...it would be so good and put others out of business. In my opinion, traditional/full service dim sum places just aren't it. I think they'd be really successful. They have an open kitchen and they were like a well oiled machine. Whoever is in charge does a really good job. Huge compliments to the chefs! read more

It's cool that you can order at a kiosk inside. The service was quick and I really liked the drink they have. It was refreshing and delicious as well as not too sweet. All the foods came out fresh and hot. The Siu Mai was definitely my favorite: steamy and juicy. Everything else was yummy, too. It's a bit pricy for me but that's just the cost of the area. read more

The best. The best quality. The best price. The best service. Simply the best. I love the pork buns and fried fish

This is my favorite place to get Dim sum in LA! My favorite thing to order from their menu is their BBQ pork bun and their egg tarts. Their BBQ pork meat is delicious. It's super flavorful, the meat is not try, and I really like that it is sweet and savory. I think it's their best item on their menu. Whenever I come with my friends or family we usually get 2 or 3 orders. Each order comes with 3. Their egg tart is also good I really like that the crust is flaky. 4/5 stars for the BBQ pork bun. 4/5 stars for the egg tart. Note: -The restaurant is kinda small so they don't have outdoor seating but they do have some seating inside. -parking may be hard to find. but there may be a few parking spaces available. -the staff is super nice! -They are open on Monday, Wednesday-Saturday from 11AM-9PM. Sunday from 11AM-8PM. They are closed on Tuesday read more

Ixlb Dim Sum Eats - Char Siu BBQ Pork (1 lb.) - Dim Sum Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I decided to come here before a concert for a quick bite. There's limited parking available and you cannot park at the Arby's or you risk a fine. ixlb serves up your average DimSum items in a casual setting. You can order at the touchpads next to the door as well as up front at the cash register. The food came out fairly quick and while I didn't expect excellent food, it was still decent nonetheless. The Xiao Long Bao and Siu Mai were juicy but they lacked a bit of flavor. These items also come with soy sauce along with hot chili oil. The workers were friendly and they were working hard! I wouldn't come here again but it's worth a try. read more

C'mon! This is one of the all-timers. Fast and delicious. Everything is good here but the baked cha siu bao stand out.

Absolutely fantastic. Had takeaway of the XLB and shu mai, and good lord was it tasty; really well priced too. The location is small and cool, situated conveniently for going out to local hotspots. The service was super friendly and charming, and I left very satisfied and excited to return. read more

We were craving for dumplings before going to Universal and ended up in ixlb. Yum! Dumplings were huge and the taste is delicious!

I've been on the hunt for good dim sum close-ish to home and this definitely hits the mark! I'd definitely recommend doing takeout as the shop is pretty small. The food travels really well so I've never had an issue with doing delivery. Their egg custard buns and sesame balls are excellent, and their har gow, pot stickers and pork buns aren't bad either. I haven't had much luck with good dim sum so this is definitely the best so far. Don't get the chow mein though. Really bland and was just noodles with 2 tiny pieces of carrot. read more

Been wanting to check this place out when I exit Sunset. For a quick bite, this place is perfect. Not a lot of seating but nostalgic of their orders appear to be deliveries or pickups. Parking on the street or on the back and you use a screen to order from. Entire process was quick and convenient. Food was prepared quickly and if you like small plates, this place is perfect. Worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

Dine in is allowed if you show proof of covid vaccination but there really aren't that many spots you can dine in on. Xiao Long Bao has good wrapper, good meat stuffing, bit we didn't get much soup. Crispy Wings were crispy, cooked all the way through and were tasty. Fried Crab Legs felt more like imitation crab meat, but was still very tasty. Pickled cucumbers were great! Tartness cleanses the palate and also provides good fiber ;) Sesame Balls were soft and chewy - just like they're supposed to. Fried shrimp balls are addicting. Har Gow is also very good. You can walk in and place your order on the pads on the wall and fhen you move to the cashier to pay. The wait to pick up your food is much much longer than the ordering process - many customers are calling in their orders and walking in only for pick up. read more

This place has a great selection of delicious dim sum! The people are friendly and it's very affordable. I come here often to get take out.

Always thought I'd have to drive out of la to get authentic, affordable dim sum but I was wrong! So happy I stumbled on this place after a quick google search - it was listed as #1 on an LA eater article. Mostly take out now although they do have some standing counter space to dine in. My favorites were har gow - one of the best I've had! Fried turnip cake, siu mai, egg tarts - egg filling was so soft and rich, and pineapple bun. Can't wait to come back and eat more! read more

Not a lot of Chinese food in Hollywood so we were excited this was a light walk away from our hotel. We tried the following: * BBQ Pork Bun: pretty standard and tasted as expected. Nothing special though so I probably won't get this again unless I'm getting a craving for it * Ha Gow and Siu Mai were really good sizes and tasted good. I think it wasn't too over priced compared with sit down Dim Sum restaurants. * Ma Lai Go: They had some egg custard spread between the layers of cake which I don't recall other places doing...but I'm not complaining...it tasted nice :) * Sesame Balls: good...especially for people who like sesame balls. I just can't eat too much fried food anymore so I only ate half :P it was well made though :) We really enjoyed the quick meal and the staff were friendly :) read more

One day, we were feelin' some Dim Sum and ultimately decided to order in while eating and relaxing in our living room. We ordered a little bit of everything on the menu. We purchased the following: Crab Sticks, Xiao Long Bao, Siu Mai, Fried Fish Filet, Steamed Shrimp Wonton, Pan Fried Chicken Dumpling, Baked Sausage Bun, House Bento Rice Box, and Sesame Ball. The crab sticks were so good in addition to the other items. The bao was a juicy pork dumpling that came with cabbage, ginger, garlic, and scallion. The siu mai came with steamed pork, shrimp, mushroom, and egg wrap while the pan fried dumplings had chicken, cabbage, and mushroom. The sesame ball is always good and contains red bean or lotus seeds paste filling. All in all, it was like a mini buffet that we had at home since everything came separately in their own boxes. I believe by the end of the meal, only a couple pieces were left over and even then, they were devoured later that day. It was truly an amazing feast! read more

Best Dim Sum in SoCal! I've had Dim Sum at many places throughout Southern California. This place is the best quality at decent prices. Great service as well! Very welcoming!! Definitely will be back! read more

This fast casual restaurant makes some of the best dumplings I've ever had. The steamed dumplings (or soup dumplings) were flavorful and not too hot which is always a big concern for me when eating them. They were the perfect temperature! You order at the counter and then eat at a table which I thought was cool. The prices were amazing, you could get full off of $12 which is rare in downtown. The best part, however, was the iced coconut tapioca drink. I've had boba drinks for many years, but never anything like this. It was like a slushee with condensed milk and shredded coconut on top. The tapioca was more rice like than typical boba which gave the drink a rice-pudding type of feel. I am so obsessed with it!!!! read more

Great spot in Hollywood if you are craving dim sum. The place is small, more for quick pickup as opposed to many other places. They do have a few low counter style sitting area along the window about 6 or so, as well as one high counter style sitting area that's good for 6 people as well. The entire indoor sitting area is about 8 ft x 8ft. The place is bright, clean, organized, and modern. You order using iPads/tablet. If paying by cash, you walk up to the register. They have 3 iPads for ordering, but it was not busy when we went. I would recommend ordering online ahead of time in case they are busy to avoid iPad lines. We enjoyed everything we ordered: xiao long bao, pork siu mai, garlic noodle, and pork cha siu bao. read more
