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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Forget the service or atmosphere because there just aren't enough good dim sum places in this town outside of the San Gabriel Valley, and this is pretty damn good. The Xiao Long Bao was arguably the best. Authentic and tasty. The buns were quite good. Smiling Pork and BBQ Pork are worth a try but the Baked Cha Sui bao was the best. Kinda sweet, kinda savory. All good. The scallion pancakes were okay, but not my favorite as they were a bit too floppy and oily. Also had the roast pork fried rice which was okay, but not as distinctive as the dumplings or buns. Not mind-bogglingly amazing but solid, consistent dim sum when you need that fix. 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 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

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

Another antique gem of Old Chinatown, GD is one of the only surviving big banquet house restaurants…read morethat can handle 300 person parties with multiple private rooms, a full bar, and yet still serves dim sum 7 days (more selections on weekends) and manages a full menu that ranges from C-A favorites to banquet specialties (their French style beef filet with Chinese vegetables is best in town). Old world service is sort of hybrid these days in that you can order dim sum standards from the checklist menu, and there will be servers coming by with kitchen specialities on trays (or you could order them directly from your server) and add anything from any of the 3 different main menus. A nod to old world service hierarchy which may not be clear to visitors: the ordering beverages and condiments, and general table requests and check out is from the gold vested servers. Red vests handle food to/from kitchen. Black vests and plain white shirts are management. Everyone will be attending to the entire floor, so if you're feeling neglected or need attendance, catch an eye and wave at a gold vest. When you call in orders, you'll speak with a black vest. Prices are higher than WK nearby but the quality here is higher and the selection is much wider. GD is also really good at mixing up menus, so you can have a great congee with preserved egg and youtiao (the stick donuts), a Singapore seafood noodle dish, a braised duck hot pot, and 20 different dim sum all at the same place and high quality throughout the meal. There's a paid parking lot next door, plus metered street parking. It's generally ADA accessible. Restrooms are waaay in the back of the restaurant. For private parties of up to 40, the old bar lounge area in the front next to the host podium is wonderfully decorated and quite classy and intimate.

This seems to be one of the few traditional dim sum places left in Chinatown. When I say…read moretraditional, I mean carts being pushed and people putting plates of food right in front of you and then asking if you want it?!?! It's all part of the experience that I would have no other way. Honestly, it's comforting having a spot like this still in Chinatown.

They had one outdoor table available, which worked out perfectly since we had our dogs with us and could enjoy lunch together outside. It was a hot day, so we really appreciated that they brought us ice-cold water. We ordered har gow, siu mai, custard buns, pork buns, salted egg buns, and radish cake. The beef pan-fried noodles weren't particularly flavorful, but they were simple and definitely helped satisfy our hunger. The dim sum itself could have used a little more seasoning, though adding some chili oil would probably help if you enjoy a bit of spice. Overall, it was an average meal. If we hadn't had our dogs with us after the Firecracker event, we probably would have opted for a nicer sit-down dim sum spot.

Pineapple custard bun $1.80- super super good. Large. Pieces of pineapple in the sweet custard. This bun is a winner. Dan ta ($1.80)- deceivingly good. It looks like it'll be dry and not good. But the custard is soft, the crust has not texture. Whole duck ($34)- the roast BBQ is super good. Crispy skin. You see the duck fat is melted with flavor. A little bit on the salty side. But I don't think I've had a duck like this in the 626. I would only come for the baked goods and roast duck. Beef chow fun $13- I would skip this dish. It's not very good. Soggy noodles. No wok hei.

But the dim sum...how can one make such bad, soulless delicacies that are suppose to instead, show craftsmanship and flavor! I've had many takeout dim sum, and this is by far one of the least favorite locations pretty much ever. The price is cheap for a reason.

There was also complimentary rice and jasmine tea. My favorite dishes were the bean curd with oyster sauce and Singapore rice noodles. The bean curd was nicely hot, but I wish the cubes were larger. I also liked how the rice noodles had a hint of peppery spice. The other dishes were solid, but I didn't try a few. For example, my table finished the pork chop with spicy salt the quickest. Portion sizes were adequate for me, but I wish there was slightly more given that our table included many people. In addition to our group, an even larger party of people dined in such that they filled up more than half of the restaurant. It can definitely be a popular gathering place for lunch at times. Service was good as all our dishes arrived in a timely manner, and the staff was good at helping us rearrange our many dishes.

We had two orders of slippery shrimp, kung pao chicken, eggplants with hot and spicy garlic sauce, juicy steamed dumplings, and pork fried rice. Overall, both restaurants in Chinatown and Pasadena provide great food quality. The ambience was cozy with dim lighting. Our round table had a wooden rotating tray. They have pictures of celebrities and politicians who've visited their restaurant. Service was relatively quick, but there was a 20-minute wait for the dumplings. Valet parking can get difficult when the lot gets full. A few cars entering the narrow driveway had to reverse out of the way to let others leave. The kung pao chicken was very tasty with a good amount of spice. I noticed that the slippery shrimp didn't taste as spicy as the portion from Pasadena. Reviews say that the spice is adjustable. Regardless. it tasted great as it came right off the pan. The pork fried rice was delicious with a savory flavor that didn't seem overpowering. I thought the juicy steamed dumplings were the weakest dish out of our whole order. There wasn't enough flavor and heat from the broth. I didn't try much of the eggplants, but they tasted adequate for me.

It's been sitting on my saved list for a while, and honestly, this turned out to be the perfect opportunity. The space itself is bright, clean, and welcoming with warm woody tones throughout. Casual setup where you order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. I had already looked through the menu beforehand, so the real challenge was narrowing down what to order for one person. I failed at that... and I'm very happy I did. Started with the Pig Ear Salad 滷豬耳朵. Braised thin sliced pig ears dressed with soy sauce, chili oil, sesame oil, scallion, and cilantro. OMG. So good. Tender, flavorful, perfectly braised, with that satisfying chewy texture done right. Also got the Fried Peanut Salad 五味花生 with garlic, cilantro, scallions, vinegar, and Thai chili. Super crunchy, bright, refreshing, and honestly addicting. I added a cup of the Hot & Sour Soup 酸辣湯 too. Organic tofu, beech mushroom, carrot, bamboo, woodear mushroom, and egg. Super comforting with a really balanced tang and peppery heat. Not overly thick or heavy like a lot of Americanized versions can be. Exactly the kind of soup you want during a long travel day. For noodles, I ordered the Dan Dan Noodles 擔擔麵. Sesame-peanut sauce, cucumber, cilantro, crushed peanuts. Delicious on its own already, but I ended up adding some of the fried peanuts from the salad into the noodles and it became even better. Then the Three Cup Chicken 三杯雞 with sesame oil, soy sauce, rice wine, and Thai basil. I do wish it had a little more wok hei, but overall the flavor was still really comforting and savory. Extremely good with rice. Had a glass of Gewürztraminer alongside everything, which paired surprisingly well with the spice and aromatics. Their wine list leans more organic / natural wine focused, which felt very LA in a good way. Ended up sitting at a high top next to one of the managers and had a great conversation throughout the meal. She ended up hooking me up with the Traditional Shaved Ice 傳統刨冰 with grass jelly, red bean, boba, sweet potato balls, taro balls, brown sugar syrup, and condensed milk. I was already planning to order it anyway, and wow... I finished the entire thing. The brown sugar syrup was incredibly fragrant. Packed the leftovers to-go, and that ended up becoming my dinner after landing in San Francisco later that evening. Flight cancellation somehow turned into a really great food day.

I was kind of frustrated because they don't have many sauces; the hoisin sauce is main sauce for everything. The popcorn chicken desperately needs a sweet chili aioli. But my biggest issue was with the environment; the were 3 girls who were extremely loud and disruptive. When I asked staff about the noise, they stated they were regulars and nothing was addressed. Multiple people kept turning around looking at them, and still nothing. In fact the male waiter vaped inside the restaurant with them. Very unlikely I will recommend or return.
