Newly opened dim sum takeout spot in Westwood -- super convenient with an easy ordering interface and outdoor patio seating. They have many classic dim sum items (char siu, turnip cake, siu mai) along with some other casual takeout options (taiwanese bento, hot dog buns, noodles). Pricing is really reasonable, and portions are pretty typical for dim sum. They prepare everything fresh for pickup, so all the dishes are steaming hot and delicious. The shrimp dumplings definitely hit the spot, and their braised pork over rice is pretty solid as well. Will definitely return to try some more items! read more

This is overall not good and I'm writing a review bc if any of y'all follow the account @ nom_life every single recommendation they have is booty hole, do the opposite of what they say cuz they recommended this place and this is the last time they wrong me. The only thing that was good was the baked cha siu bao and dan ta. why the hell does the siu mai have corn in it. the har gow is trash the wrapper is so dry and thick. do y'all see the noodles in our photo idk if i got it fully but it was straight up just boiled plain rice noodles with some chicken and ginger tossed on top of it. THAT AINT A CHINESE DISH HOMIE. we doused it with soy sauce and chili oil and my disappointment was still immeasurable. if you are chinese or any kinda asian do not come here i feel like ive disappointed my ancestors by wasting calories on this place. reflecting on this review i realize i only feel compelled to write reviews on yelp when i feel incredibly wronged and i will do better on writing positive reviews for places that are amazing, apologies world. read more

In general not bad (biased first time eating dim sum after going gluten free LOL) but def pricier $6-7 a portion. But good if your craving dim sum in Westwood :) loved the dedicated gluten free options!! Sesame balls: really like the chewy texture (also free food tastes better, given for the long wait for fried shrimp balls) red bean was better than lotus seed (too sweet) Har gow + shrimp and chive dumpling: I like the texture of wrapper good filling to wrapper ratio, nothing amazing but nothing to complain about Turnip cake: mid too much cake not enough stuff Kelly's ratings: XLB: where did the soup go? Fried Shrimp Ball: crispy good, surprised by the corn inside, took a lonngggg time to get out tho read more

Westwood just got better - yay, Dimsum! Today is their soft opening, so naturally I had to try my go-to items: Xiao Long Bao and Har Gow. They even gave a complementary sesame bun while you wait. You can honestly pick anything on the menu and it'll be a good day. Definitely check this place out. They have a nice patio space where you can sit and enjoy bystanders say "ooh dimsum!" read more

This places was just awful. We go to a lot of dim sum & this was like the McDonald's of it. Came here because Yelp recommended it after our normal place was closed. The food was cold despite it coming out right after we ordered it. The service was very fast. This isn't a sit down place and I think people who don't eat dim sum ever- might enjoy it. read more

When you think of dumplings. This is what I wish all places taste like . So much flavor! If I have to go to the office this is my to go place . My kids ask me to bring some when I'm working in the office that day . I love this dumpling spot wish they would have some in the valley. read more

The pricey coconut drink had too much ice, I would ask for less ice next time. I had their pork rice for $6, what a deal. You order from the screen, and a person makes your food. The restaurant itself is basically a takeout window. There are a few tables outside, there isn't really much of an ambiance, it's a pick up and go spot, or eat quickly and leave spot. I would return for a - less ice coconut drink and more $6 rice bowls. read more

The westside needs a few options for Dim Sum, because heading out to Monterey Park is a trek, esp if that's all you're doing out there. Unfortunately... this wasn't it for me. Most of their offerings were on the bland side. I was super excited to get some fresh XLB, and they had both dry and chewy exteriors with no soup. Shumai were flavorless. Maybe it was an off day, I plan on going back and updating my review. I really want this place to be good and succeed! read more

My go tos: -har gow -shrimp wonton w/ chili oil (steamed or fried) Honestly their menu is really good and hits the basic eats of dimsum. This place is perfect for a good 30 min break (not during regular lunch hours lol). Parking is plentiful in Westwood, but during peak hours, it can be hard to find. For the price, location, and quality of food, I go back every time! I would definitely recommend and try the har gow and shrimp wontons!!!!! read more

Best dim sum I've ever tasted highly recommend if you are in WESTWOOD ，they have consistently good quality,good service ,definitely come back again I'll definitely try utside patio next time Cant wait to come back.... read more

I think this place took Westwood by storm ever since they opened. The food is so good and affordable that it has become a go to lunch spot for most people who work in the area. The ordering system is brilliant and I've never waited for more than 5-7 minutes. With that being said, I can only speak for the steamed dumplings part of the menu, I have not tried their other items. read more

Great quality food. I was surprised at how many vegetarian options there were. I had the spring rolls, veggie buns and chow mein. The food is fresh and made to order. All good. Price of food is affordable. Will visit again! read more

This review is from when I tried the food last year, so hopefully it has improved since then. The shrimp wonton with chili oil was the best item I tried. The shrimp was good but the wonton wrapper was hard at some parts. The next best thing was the pineapple custard bao, which had pretty good custard flavor but could be sweeter. The cha siu bao is decent but could use some more bbq flavor. The pork siu mai was super weird though and disappointing, the meat tasted stale and smelled like dog food to me. The xiao long bao didn't have much flavor to it other than the vinegar sauce. If nothing has changed since then, I wouldn't come back again. Service was friendly and quick though. There is only outdoor seating which is small. read more

You can't go wrong with ixlb. Sure it's not super authentic dim sum, but it is cheap, fast, fresh, accessible, and hits the spot every time. Don't skip the desserts. read more

Yummy food and quick service. We have eaten here multiple times and love it every time!

Yes! I see some really good signs at this business and I know I'll be back soon. I initially came for some xia long bao($6) but also order just a basic chicken over rice dish ($6). XLB was great and it comes with black vinegar. Not the best I've ever had but definitely hit the spot. They come in these cute aluminum cups so they don't break open. The chicken in my bowl was juicy! It was tasty on its own and they had some pieces of ginger mixed in. Really good touch. Simple but satisfying- especially for $6. The cashier systems are very helpful and I can see it being useful during lunch rush. They have about 4 touch screens to order and pay with a card/tap. The menu on the screens show you pictures of the food and the menu on the wall is a great overview of everything they've got. My screen tap malfunctioned but the cashier was quick to notice and took my order himself. The food was out fast, packed well and I took my to go order back to work. All utensils and sauces were in there and I just appreciate that so much. Nothing like getting back to work and not having either one of those necessities. read more

They have the best dimsum especially their siumai in LA and their coconut tapioca drink is very good.

Ate here and now I am suffering with 3 days of abdominal cramping and diarrhea. Do not recommend. Very upset. Waiting for a call back from manager read more

Friendly and fast service! Honestly way better (& more affordable) than Din Tai Fung or any chain dim sum restaurant. They had quite a few vegetarian options and I liked how the kiosk had pictures to go with each item. It's conveniently located in Westwood so it's walking distance to other shops and restaurants. I wish there was more seating available. read more

Ecstatic a legit dumpling and dimsum spot is open in Westwood! Had a few items... shu mai, juice dumplings, sesame balls, egg tarts and coconut drink. The shu mais and sesame balls were huge....way bigger than typical dim sum restaurants. Egg tarts were flaky and on point. The REAL STAR OF THE MEAL was the coconut drink with mini boba....soooooo good and refreshing after the meal. Def recommend! read more

They said the food would be out In two miniuts but it took olmost four. And that was after we where eating for ten miniuts and when the food came out it came with a sause that was purple. The vibe was like a high school cariteria. Would not recommended there are better places around. read more

Two days ago was my sister's birthday and i didn't know where to order food. This restaurant showed while I was searching for places. We wanted something light but wanted varieties as well. We ordered online and because we wanted to celebrate home. It was one of the best ideas to order dimsum for birthday. We tried different dishes and prices were reasonable.My favorites were the Egg-tart ,shrimp&chives , shrimp wonton and baked cha shu bao . read more

The food is amazing here. I can't imagine you could have this size of shrimp with wonderful quality in the shrimp dumplings !!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the pineapple Polo Custard Bao, the pineapple butter inside is sooooo creamy! And the shrimp wonton with chili oil would be one of my favorite course! The spicy flavor melt perfectly with the sweetness of shrimp. And the most important thing!!!!!! I can't imagine the price is way lower than I expected! I could say it's the best place to get authentic dim sum here with a very cheap price! Love this place I also order the fried shrimp ball , veggie dumplings spring rolls egg tarts , everything is just so great!!!! I could not say one bad dish. Even though this is a mainly counter to go restaurant but they have great service ! I felt very welcomed . read more

First time here. It was great. The dim sum is delicious and the service is great! I will definetley be returning soon.

The food is very delicious and always fresh! I really like friendly staff; clean and cozy atmosphere)

Pork fried rice is no favor & hardly any meat. Too much carbs & not worth at all. It only 1/3 of the food & can't even wanted to finish. I order Chicken over rice last time which is decent. chicken Bun is acceptable. I won't try pork fried rice again. It doesn't attract as picture from menu. read more

I've heard about ixlb for years, but never found the chance to visit their Sunset location. I was ecstatic when I learned that they would be opening up a branch in Westwood. On my first visit, I ordered the xiao long bao and har gow. Both were overcooked; the soup dumpling wrappers were too firm and the soup slightly dried out, while the rice wrappers on the har gow were mushy. The portion sizes were more generous than expected and the prices were decent for the area, but they were overall terrible despite usually being the benchmarks for dim sum. I decided to give them another try 2 days later, hoping that the non-dumpling items would be better. I ended up ordering the char siu fried rice and curry chicken puffs. The fried rice was surprisingly solid and the curry chicken puff was excellent. The pastry was crispy throughout and the curry chicken filling was flavorful. I hope the dumplings from the first visit were just a fluke; I'll try them again and update the rating if that's the case. It would be really ironic if the dumplings at a dim sum place were the worst items on the menu, like the ramen at Maruya in Little Tokyo. read more

Ixlb Dim Sum Eats - Curry chicken puff and char siu fried rice - Dim Sum Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Sadly won't be coming back here. I love their Hollywood location and all their dim sum was fantastic there but I can't say the same about this location. Especially the har gow tasted off, I had to try another piece to confirm it wasn't just in my head or a mistake but when I brought it up to the attention of the waiter/runner person, he said I should have mentioned it on my first bite and there's nothing he can do. So not great dim sum and not great service for a $21 meal of 6 pieces and a dessert. Sad. read more

One of our absolute favorite spots for dim sum takeout. Their har gow and siu mai are excellent, as are their bean curd rolls. Their egg tarts and buns are also great. I do wish they had a few other options but it's so nice having a good-quality dim sum place nearby since it's far to drive into the SGV. Super clean, friendly and fast. read more

Limited menu but it's convenient near UCLA. They do different twists on some dim sum. It's similar to authentic dim sum and it's decent if you want a quick fix to quell your cravings but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. If you're in the area near UCLA and have a craving this place works. Make sure to watch your order, they've handed orders to the wrong person before and after the fact, retrieved it and tried to complete your order with that same dish. read more
