First off, I didn't know of this restaurant. While attending a screening at the Hammer Museum, a friend suggested this place during the dinner break. I didn't know that there was such a tasty restaurant so close to the UCLA screenings. We ordered so many variations on dumplings and each one was terrific. Shrimp wontons with chili oil. Xiao Long bao (soup dumplings), Pork and Shrimp Siu Mai, Scallion Pancakes, Cha Siu Bao (steamed), Pan fried pork dumplings Every item was excellent. We ate outside as there is no inside place to eat and we were comfortable. Not expensive and we ordered almost too much. We will be back. read more

I was in LA visiting some friends about two weeks ago. We were craving dim sum and this spot was nearby! We got a variety of dim sum and shared, but my personal favorites were the XLB and the spicy chili oil wontons. However, our dining experience was just not great. We ordered our food and while we were waiting, a lady who I'm assuming was the owner/manager had some of the employees moving the umbrellas around. I don't know why they didn't wait until there were no customers, but they almost hit us multiple times and it kinda ruined our meal even though we were really excited to eat!! Even the girl bringing the food had to duck while she was serving us. The lady was rudely directing the employees for the entire time we were eating, and it was incredibly off putting and distracting overall. Funnily enough, on our way back, we walked past the restaurant a bit later and she was still there yelling at employees so I can't imagine how many more customers had their meals ruined! I really wanted to enjoy the food but vibes just weren't it and I probably won't be back. read more

Was with a bunch of guys before a UCLA basketball game, so no photos other than the menu. We were hungry and wanted a somewhat quick bite. There are a few tables on the outside patio, otherwise it's a good to-go place if you're local or not traveling far. We ordered a whole bunch of things and it was all delicious. The staff is super nice and the prices are quite reasonable. I had been hearing about this place for a while and it lived up to the hype. As far as do not miss items... I'd say the Xiao Long Bao, The Cha Siu Bao and the Garlic Noodles! And I'd also add the Chicken Over Rice. If you're looking for something easy and tasty and well priced in Westwood, this is the place! read more

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

You were planning on driving to Monterey Park, but then looked around for some dumpling places in the area and glad we stumbled upon this one. We had a few different types and they were very good and we would like to come back and explore more of the menu. Because it's in Westwood, parking is challenging. It's a walk up counter and they have tablets to place your order and a fair amount of outdoor seating. read more

Decided to check this place out as it was near our hotel. It's a very small place with mostly outdoor seating. There are several screens on that wall which you can order your food. I actually really like this because you can see pictures of the food and take your time ordering. Since it was our first time here we took a long time to decide what we wanted. We decided on several different things. The lady was very nice when she brought out our food and quickly came out to clean the table after we were done. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. We liked it a lot. I would definitely come back and try other things. read more

I was trying out various restaurants in westwood and came across this one, pretty small place but lots of outdoor seating, super nice for a quick bite and for pretty good prices too! it's mostly online order or kiosk-ran so not too much on customer service but the employees were friendly I got pickled cucumbers which are a little too vinegary and strong sesame oil flavors for my personal preference I really liked the har gow, their filling is really plump and juicy I also loved the pan fried turnip cake, there's a slight crisp of the fried outer layer and it's not too dense read more

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

Actually so bomblicious. I have heard such great things about this dim sum place and was not disappointed. My friend and I ordered the pork and shrimp siu mai, shrimp wonton, char siu steamed baos, and the pork soup noodles. Was a little pricey, but I would say pretty standard for a dim sum place. I absolutely love how juicy and tender the filling was for the siu mai. The siu mai and shrimp wonton were also pretty sizable as well. My favorite dish that we ordered was definitely the char siu baos. The baos were SO NICE AND FLUFFY and the char siu was so soft and perfectly flavored. I'm always hesitant about bao fillings because sometimes the meat would be really fatty but the meat in these baos were so tender. The soup noodles were also pretty good as well. Lots of noodles actually, we were not able to finish all the noodles. I would say 3 to 4 items is a good size to share for two people. ALSO ALSO the workers were actually so sweet. They brought out our take out when or oder was ready which was really nice as we didn't have to go in to get our food. read more

Such a great spot for authentic, flavorful dim sum at very reasonable prices (almost everything on the menu is under $10). I ordered the xiao long bao and chicken noodle soup, but the noodles were the standout for me. The broth was packed with flavor and the chicken was juicy and well-seasoned. The perfect comfort meal. Service was also very quick. Definitely one of my new favorite spots in Westwood. read more

Yummy and convenient dim sum!! I often crave dim sum so I'm happy to have found a place to get my fix. There are a few tablets that you can order on and the food is prepared fast. The items are surprisingly affordable too! I think some of their rice bowls are around $6 or $7. The staff members are kind and positive, but it's still more of a casual and impersonal spot. I'm excited to come back soon!! read more

Only went in for a sweet treat. I seriously LOVE egg tarts and this place makes them perfectly. Also paid less than $7 for 3 of them which is such a great deal.

I need to come back and try their actual food next time, I'm sure it's also great and authentic. read more

Ixlb Dim Sum Eats - Baked Egg Custard Tart (3) - Dim Sum Near Me - Los Angeles, California

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would My husband and I ate here after a walk around Westwood. We were hesitant at first because we were planning to have dinner elsewhere, but am so glad we decided to eat at ixlb instead! When you enter, there are about 4-5 kiosks to place your order. We went through the menu and decided on the wonton shrimp dumpling (fried), pan fried chicken dumpling, xiao long bao, street noodle special and sesame balls. Since we ordered for dine in, our order was brought out to us with complimentary water, chopsticks and soy sauce packets. And BOY were we more than satisfied! For me, the STAR of the show was the wonton shrimp dumplings, which were perfectly deep fried, bursting with quality shrimp, and dressed in the perfect dollop of chili oil. If you're a shrimp lover and in the mood for a slightly spicy and crispy dumpling, I would definitely recommend ordering this! My next favorite was the chicken dumplings which were juicy, flavorful and probably the heartiest chicken dumplings I have ever had - 10/10. And to round out my order, sesame balls for dessert! They we're HUGE and came out warm! And to my surprise, variety sesame balls with red bean and mooncake filings, which I thought was really cool since I don't get mixed sesame balls often. My husband ordered the noodles and xlb. I wasn't a fan of the xlb but the noodles were okay. We happily ate our meal in outdoor seating area, which consists of about 4 high tops of 4 and two low tops of 4 and 2. For about $6-$7 per plate, this was a definite steal, especially considering how full and happy we were afterwards. If you're in Westwood, or not!, and looking for some dim sum, you HAVE TO go to ixlb dim sum! read more

Ixlb Dim Sum Eats - Seafood Pearl (3) - Dim Sum Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Love the setup of this restaurant! They have tablets ready to place your order and tables outside. No indoor dining. Veggie Dumplings - This was my favorite thing off of everything we ordered. The filling was so tasty, I wish I had ordered more! 10/10 Springs Rolls - Overall taste was good but maybe a little too heavy on the mushrooms. It was slightly on the greasier side too. 7/10 Chinese Broccoli - Big chunks of broccoli with thick stems. Wish there were more leafy bits but it tasted great and perfectly steamed! 8/10 Chow Mein - Probably won't order this one again. It tasted kinda bland and there were little veggies. 5/10 Our food came out timely and everything was so reasonably priced! They also have a ton of vegetarian/vegan options! Everything is pretty much available to customize too. Love! read more

How do you pronounce this business? 9LB? iXlb? Is it latin? Aztec? Taiwaztec? I don't know but I love it. Just visited this restaurant for the first time and left totally blown away. I ordered the Taiwanese cabbage, the vegetarian baos, and the steamed seafood pearls, and omg the food is so fresh. The steamed seafood pearls are the best: juicy and bouncy. The taste is beyond. The cabbage and the baos need a little dressing up with the sauce, but overall super fresh and healthy. I ordered to go and Jenny at the front was really nice in explaining the menu to me. Will definitely come back to try the fried dumplings and different baos. A++ recommend. One note: they do use a lot of plastic. I'm aware that a lot of the food is steamed and comes out super hot. Maybe there's a different type of serving set they could phase to in the future that is less harmful for the environment. read more

I enjoy coming here and it is always a vibe. It is so difficult to be selective when you are hungry, so I ordered a large selection to make sure that I would take home different choices. I ended up getting the Xiao Long Bao, Cha Siu Bao, Chicken Siu Mai, and a side of rice. The Xiao Long Bao consisted of 5 pieces of juicy pork dumplings where each had ground pork, ginger, garlic, scallion, and cabbage. There were 3 pieces for the Cha Siu Bao, which was a chopped BBQ honey roast pork bao. I also got the usual Chicken Siu Mai, which had 4 pieces filled with chicken ginger, and sweet corn covered by an egg wrap. It was all so warm and tasty and every time I come here, I am reminded of when we used to frequent similar spots when I was a child and when we would have these items here and there at family parties! read more

I went here for dim sum for the Lunar New Year and was not disappointed. It can be hard to find decent dim sum on the Westside, but this is a good spot! It's not traditional dim sum from the carts, but it gets the job done. You order at a counter and the food comes out pretty fast. There's lots of seating outside. I got an assortment of baked sausage buns, bao, siu mai, steamed egg custard bun, and char siu. Everything was delicious! I really enjoyed my meal here. Parking wasn't too challenging on the street in Westwood. read more

Finally, dim sum in Westwood is not a fantasy. At the same time, I want to keep your expectation in check. It's a traditional dim sum experience, with freshly prepared dishes on carts that offer instant gratification for the diners. At Ixlb, you order the dishes ahead, most likely from a kiosk, and wait 10-15 minutes for them to be delivered in togo containers at an outdoor dining area. I get it, this workflow streamlines the process of food delivery and payment, and it cuts down staff time and ordering errors. Nevertheless, being responsible for so many plastic containers does make me feel guilty. The foods themselves are good. They weren't the best, but I wasn't expecting getting the best dim sum in Westwood either. Each dish tasted authentic and traditional. The shrimp chive dumplings were flavorful and fresh, and the daikon cakes were crispy and fragrant. They came with small packs of soy sauce and chili oil, but I wish the house special sauce would be supplied without extra cost. I brought my dog with me and we sat in the corner. Unfortunately, my dog still barked at the server a few times. It's not the server's fault, but she looked visibly shaken by the barks from a cute dog. read more

A cute little spot worth finding parking for! Easy to use touch menu with just the right variety of options. Everything was cooked perfectly and delicious. Might be the best char siu bao I've tasted!

I'm a dim sum lover so I was so excited to try this place out! The inside is very clean and the self-service kiosks are very convenient. We waited 5-10 minutes for our food after ordering. I ordered the har gow, spicy shrimp wontons, scallion pancakes, and sesame ball. This was definitely way too much food- you get a lot of food for the price so two dishes would've been better. The shrimp wontons were good and generously filled, but I wanted more of the spicy sauce. The har gow had a great wrapper but the shrimp inside was a little overcooked and not super juicy. The scallion pancakes were surprisingly delicious. They were probably the best thing I got. The sesame balls were HUGE. I like how you get the red bean and lotus filling, and they were perfectly crispy. Overall I'd come to this place again to give it another chance, but I definitely expected more from the dumplings. read more

I tried the food here at a corporate party I was invited to. The food was delicious. They have many options to choose from. My favorites are the pickled cucumbers, pan fried chicken dumplings, scallion pancakes, & pork & shrimp siu mai. The prices are very reasonable, and the customer service is great. Because of the proximity to my office, I will definitely be a repeat customer. read more

I've only ordered takeout from this spot, and every time it has been absolutely delicious! I've tried: Garlic Noodles: served cold with pickled cucumber and onion-so addictive! Char Siu BBQ pork-perfectly seasoned and tender Shrimp wonton with chili oil-can be ordered fried or steamed. Both are luscious pillows of shrimp-filled goodness with a nice bite of spice. Fried shrimp balls-surprisingly light with a lovely crispy coating Fried sesame balls-my favorite Dim Sum dessert, can't go wrong! This is my favorite, go-to place for Dim Sum in Westwood. read more

I give the fast service a five star rating however I give the flavor and taste of the food a zero star rating so I am averaging to 2.5 stars and rounding to 3 stars. My food was ordered on an iPad and prepared very quick. I got the pork dumplings, garlic noodles and house made chili oil. The garlic noodles were very bland and I couldn't taste any garlic, it was such a waste. The dumplings were kinda dry and also lacked flavor. I tried dipping them in the chili oil but sadly the oil wasn't spicy and was very mild. The restaurant gives you packets of chili oil (which is much better tasting) and soy sauce packets so there is no need to buy their house made versions. Overall the food was not well flavored and unsatisfying read more

Always solid, with self service kiosks with photos for ordering and the fastest dim sum preparation in the area by far. All of the most popular items such as steamed juicy pork dumplings, pan fried turnip cakes, and pork buns are available, but they also offer some sleeper items such as freshly baked pineapple custard buns which are really amazing. Pricing is great, and unless you're really looking to sit in a restaurant and order from traditional dim sum carts, ixlb is a really great choice for take out. read more

My favorite place for a quick dim sum meal! The Westwood location doesn't have any indoor seating so prepare accordingly. We placed our orders inside (there is a restroom) and ate at the tables outside. We got the pickled cucumber, veggie bao, sticky rice ball, pan fried turnip, spicy street market noodles, and french cha siu bao. My favorites were the pan fried turnip, sticky rice ball, and french cha siu bao. I think I accidentally read the cucumber dish as "spicy cucumber" instead of "pickled cucumber." I'm not a huge fan of pickled foods, but it was a good balance of both spicy and pickled. The veggie bao was good but just not my preferred type of bao between that and the cha siu bao. The noodles were good as well but nothing too special. Overall, this place is great value, and our total for 3 people came out to about $45! read more

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

I knew that since this place had self-order kiosks that it was pretty casual, but something I was a little disappointed by was the fact that everything came in closed disposable containers even though we had elected to eat there (there are outside tables but no indoor seating). For food that is served hot, I really dislike getting it closed to-go because the containers can kind of cause things to be steamed a little bit, so I made sure to take the container lids off sooner rather than later. I thought everything was just OK and I would only recommend coming here for takeout because you have a specific craving and aren't willing to drive for it (which is understandable since good options on the Westside for dim sum are far and few between). Unfortunately this was a little bit of a forgettable meal for me and my main comments are that I didn't like the fried shrimp balls, but the shrimp wonton w/chili oil was probably the best. read more

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

The recent opening of ixlb Dimsum Eats is helping to improve the shortage of quality dim sum restaurants on the Westside. Like the original branch in Hollywood, the quick-service restaurant serves dim sum and other assorted dishes for takeout. That means that your food will be packaged in a plastic or paper container, whether you (1) choose to eat at one of the restaurant's few outdoor tables or (2) take your food to the office or home. As the name of the restaurant implies, the restaurant specializes in dim sum, but the selection of traditional items is relatively limited. For instance, you will not find cheung fun or ham sui gok here. Of the things we've ordered, we would recommend: pork siu mai, har gao, pan-fried dumplings, cha siu bao, and pineapple custard bun. While our favorite dim sum restaurants remain in the SGV, we'll make an occasional exception for ixlb Dimsum Eats when we're not willing to brave traffic across town, as the food is decent quality for the right price ($5-7 per dish). Since its initial opening, the restaurant has improved its operation, and we've found its pickup estimates to be relatively accurate when ordering food online. As someone who does not live or work in Westwood, I find the only major problem is parking. You'll need luck finding a metered space near the restaurant if you come on during prime lunch hours on a work day during the academic year. read more

Love the shrimp wontons, non spicy. Also enjoy the French cha siu bao - bbq pork bun.

The food was so tasty and quick! It's really nice for that hate talking to waiters and servers. There's a kiosk where you order what you want and you sit at a table and wait. They will bring you your food and you chow down! It's great for dumplings and dimsum! Would recommend the bun!! read more

In general I like the selection, freshness and portion size of the dim sum. The service was very fast. Minus the first star: a bunch of our dim sum wrappers fell apart even when we were trying to be delicately eat them or lift them. XLB (pictured) and Har gow were very susceptible. Minus the second star: even though we chose dine in, everything came out in disposable bundles, which really contributed to a ton of packaging waste for our $70 worth of dim sum. Note: for the ambiance, they only have outdoor seating if you choose to dine in. While there's nothing to be done by the restaurant about the nearby homeless community, that's an unfortunate and regrettable reality in this part of Westwood. I'm not dinging them for that though. read more

Ixlb Dim Sum Eats - XLB, unfortunately most of them stuck to the container - Dim Sum Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Been waiting on this place since forever but like I've been trending regarding almost all the new Asian food-related places in West LA, I've only managed to come check this place out once the new glow has worn off a bit. Busy, busy. Worth the wait? Hmmm, I think so. The biggest selling point I want to shoutout about this place is that all of their dimsum items is made personally in house. That's fantastic! No more microwaved Trader Joe's xlb knockoffs... or maybe my standards have gotten skewed in the last half year though. That being said, I would probably rate the food here a 3 star. It's not quite the dimsum level I crave when I want good dim sum but it's local in Westwood and the only dimsum place for this price in this side of West LA. I wouldn't even call them cheap- they serve small portions of 3 or 4 for around $6, which means 3 portions = a 10-dim sum serving = $18 Which is Din Tai Fung price for 10 dumplings. But the fact they offer small portions to allow for this lower price point is nice! A lot of their items depend heavily on the sugar- the outside of the bbq pork bun, the siu mai, etc. But they hit the spot. I was pretty hungry after four orders but I eat a lot so your value may vary. Overall, ixlb adds nice Asian variety to Westwood, which next to Tocaya and Tulsi Indian eatery across the street makes this general area an even more fantastic little foodie hub conveniently right in Westwood Village. read more
