Came for lunch their service was friendly and fast. It's a casual dining place with what seemed like a good amount of Togo orders. The food is very fresh, great flavors and good variety. Come hungry!
It was my first time eating here and I really enjoyed it ! I tried the vegetarian dumplings since it was my first time eating there and I didn't know if I would like the meat ones and I was very impressed by how good they were. My friend got the pork long bao and thosr were super good as well. My favorite was the strawberry iced tea, I even took one to go! The servers there are really nice and attentive which really helps with the experience. Over all its a great little place and I will definitely be coming back.
Everything I've tried here so far was delish and satisfying. However, for the size and quality of some dishes it's a little overpriced and I would think it'd be cheaper in Glendora, but probably not because of how little Shanghainese restaurants in this city compared to Arcadia/Rosemead/San Gabriel area etc. I would probably order takeout here once in a while. It's just on the pricier side compared to other spots in the cities I listed above.
Was craving dumplings but didn't want to do deal with the mall crowd for din tai fung. Found this place which was just a 10 minute drive from us and am obsessed! The food is so good and maybe even better than din tai fung. Their chili oil is so good and flavorful. It goes great with their juicy savory shrimp and pork dumplings which are my favorite. The pork chop fried rice is amazing and so comforting. I enjoyed the shanghai rice cakes with chicken and the beef tenderloin udon as well especially mixed with some of their fresh chili oil. The string beans with garlic has a great crunch texture with a perfect garlic aroma. The service for pick up and to dine in is great and efficient. I love how casual dining in is if you just want to enjoy a quick sit down meal. 10/10 would recommend this restaurant!
Jia Yan Dumpling House is a comforting dupling spot. The space is modern but cozy, the kind of restaurant where you can settle in without feeling rushed. It's clean, minimal, and inviting. Pork chop (4.5/5) Golden, audible crisp when you take your bite. The exterior had a beautifully seasoned crust; pepper-forward with just enough savoriness to keep you reaching back for another piece. The pork was also juicy and tender, definitely had me wanting to come back for more. Pork & Shrimp Spicy Wontons (4/5) Silky and comforting. The wrappers were soft and delicate, hugging a well-balanced filling. The sauce hit that trifecta of sweet, savory, and spicy without overpowering the dumplings themselves. It wasn't aggressive heat, it was more of a slow warmth that builds. Pork XLBs (3.5/5) Solid but slightly smaller than what I'm used to. The wrapper held together nicely, but I did wish there was a bit more broth and filling inside to really give that explosive soup moment. Still enjoyable, just not the star of the table as I hoped it would be Shrimp and Pork Shumai (5/5) This was the sleeper hit. Juicy in the best way. There was so much broth packed into the shumai that it exploded in my mouth. The filling was flavorful, tender, and deeply satisfying. I would come back just for this. Moodles with Minced Pork (3/5) Noodles had a great texture; oft, chewy, and comforting. I just wished the minced pork carried a bit more seasoning or punch to elevate the overall flavor. It felt like it was one step away from being something memorable. Overall, Jia Yan Dumpling House feels like a reliable neighborhood gem. Would definitely come back to work through more of the menu.
I had a lovely experience at Jia Yan Dumpling House (Glendora). I ordered the Pork Xiao Long Bao ($13.49 - 10 pcs) and Beef Dumplings ($13.99 - 10pcs). It arrived hot, fresh, filled, and juicy. YUM! I arrived at Jia Yan Dumpling House (Glendora) on Thursday (around 11:36AM). Parking is easy. The lot is big. Staff is professional yet playful. It was funny how Staff became increasingly more friendly and giggly as I took food photos and short food video clips. Still, Staff worked hard. The Pork Xiao Long Bao item took about six minutes. About three minutes later, the Beef Dumplings arrived. As mentioned, I happily devoured the Pork Xiao Long Bao ($13.49 - 10 pcs) and Beef Dumplings ($13.99 - 10pcs). The Pork XLBs (aka: soup dumplings) are hearty, juicy, and satisfying. The Beef Dumplings are fresh, stuffed, and tender. My teeth easily glided through its juicy meat. This meal did not taste salty; rather, it all came fresh and picturesque. I had plenty of leftovers. It's a lot of food! Regarding ambiance, Jia Yan Dumpling House (Glendora) is well-ventilated and clean. It's also spacious with many, many tables. I also appreciated the light music that cheerfully chimed. However, the location felt somewhat old with its stained ceiling and worn down floor. I noticed a couple faint dirty shoe stains along the entrance. Still, the location felt welcoming and comfortable. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Jia Yan Dumpling House (Glendora). The food is fresh and delicious! If craving dumplings, I cheerfully recommend. I left full and happy. 4.8 out of 5
Yummy place and good service. Lots of seating and means options. I got my veggie dumpling fix. I also loved that they had vegetarian hot and sour soup which is hard to find. Check it out!
After a stroll in downtown Glendora, we were looking at restaurants to grab dinner at. We decided to give Jia Yan a try and upon walking into the restaurant, we were greeted right away by the staff. The restaurant was big with a lot of tables, clean as well, and staff was very courteous and friendly. They share a huge parking lot with other businesses, so parking wasn't an issue. We ordered Pork XLB, Noodles w/ Sesame Sauce, Chicken Fried Noodles, and Shrimp Pork Spicy Wontons. Noodles w/ Sesame sauce - Noodles were thin, had a good texture for each bite, and the sauce coated the noodles nicely. The sauce had a little bit of that numbing spiciness, which was a nice. Shrimp Pork Spicy Wontons - The wontons had a good amount of shrimp and pork filling and was cooked perfectly. However, the spicy sauce was lacking in my opinion. It wasn't as spicy as I'm used to when I order this dish at other restaurants and I would add some chili oil on top next time. Pork XLB - The dumplings had a good amount of filling and the wrapper was not thick. However, there wasn't a lot of soup inside the dumpling after taking the first bite and pouring out the soup into the spoon. Also, the dumplings wasn't pipping hot and the temperature was just warm. I will give them a huge plus on bringing out the freshly sliced ginger to go with the xlb. Chicken Fried Noodles - Good amount of sliced chicken and chicken was still moist after the stir fry with the noodles, onions, and cabbage. The noodles again had a good texture for each bite. The flavor was just ok. I would come back and give the other menu items a try.
Jia Yan Dumpling House is the place to go if you're craving Ding Tai Fung food but don't want to wait hours to eat. It's in Glendora, has lots of seating, and serves the same food. I visited this place once when it was just opening, and I enjoyed the food then. A year later, I'm returning. I still really like the food! Unquestionably a fantastic place to savor the Beef Stew Noodles and Xiao Long Bao.
I came here after going to a doctor appointment nearby. It's a nice alternative for Din Tai Fung or Thumbling if you're craving xiao long bao. I came here with my mom since she likes xiao long bao or juicy pork dumplings. We also got their hot and sour soup, seaweed and tofu salad, salt and pepper shrimp, egg fried rice, sauteed green beans, and sauteed cabbage. The hot and sour soup is not my favorite, I would not get it again but the sauteed green beans are crispy with a garlicky taste are good. We would come here just for their xiao long bao. The portion sizes for the dishes are fine for two people for no leftovers, they're around $15 a dish. They have a sister branch in Pomona. The staff is nice and the place is clean.
媽媽來美國了，帶小孩孩子跟媽媽順便來這家鼎泰豐師傅出來開的家宴，每一道菜小孩子都還蠻喜歡的，只有考慮台組的太軟了，這一次我還有叫巧克力小包跟豆沙小包，巧克力小包也包得太小了吧，在鼎泰豐的大很多呢
Jia Yan Dumpling House in Glendora was a fantastic meal from start to finish. Everything I tried was delicious, and the service was genuinely impeccable without feeling over the top. The pork XLB was excellent and perfectly cooked, and the hot and sour soup was packed with flavor and very satisfying. It's one of those places where every dish makes you more curious about what else you should have ordered. I'm already looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the menu.

Ok place. It's authentic dumpling and noodle restaurant. They do need to cut up their broccoli better--big stalks. Their XLB is juicy and soft. I had the rice cake and it is not bad. They do need to work on the floor and walls. The floors need to be replaced - it looks old and worn. (As if it was just carried forward from the previous business. ) read more

The first impression of this restaurant is that the interior is super casual and low key compared to the other restaurants that serve this kind of food. However, looking at the prices it's definitely not too much cheaper than other similar restaurants. This is place is a very mom and pop style. Which I would expect the price to be more reasonable. We ordered: 1. Pork chop fried rice-- small portion, but the taste is pretty good. The fried rice is pretty delicious. 2. Braised beef noodles--Broth flavor is good, but not much noodles. Beef was tender. 3. Small cold dish appetizer--this one is very disappointing, the glass noodles were kind of hard and the flavors were not very good. I didn't want to eat too much of it even this is my usual favorite dish from other similar restaurants. 4. Stirred fried rice cake--this was kind of salty. The more we ate it the more it tasted salty. 5. xiao long bao--this is okay. Not the best Ive had but not bad. 6. Sweet and sour spare ribs--super small portion for the price being charged. It's almost like ding tai fung's price..but in this kind ambience it feels it's over priced. 7. Steamed sticky rice siu mai--the skin was hard as if it wasn't steamed enough. Service was okay, one lady was super friendly and smiling all the time. But the other lady had no smile and wasn't very patient and just didn't look like she wanted to work. Conclusion is I wont come back due to the over priced food that doesn't live up to the quality with a very casual dining experience. read more

I was feeling under the weather so I wanted something warm. The place needs a little bit up upgrade. I ordered the chicken noodle soup and the bun. The soup was sobering I would consider comfort food. The bun was tasty but a little small in size. Overall good value read more

It started off promising but then turned when the food took forever to come out... we got a dish all separately. Like we finished one before the next came out. The server could've been more tentative. The food prices were just ok. The only price that I thought was unreasonable is $10 for 5 potstickers that weren't even pan fried properly. The base wasn't crispy and the filling fell right out. The place was fairly clean and seating was spacious. Could easily seat a large family of 10. read more

Everything was delicious. The servers were very friendly and the food was served very quickly. Loved it! read more
I literally just moved into the area and I went to this place because it looks so similar to Din Tai Fung which I frequent... came on a Wednesday night at 6 pm and it was fairly empty! TBH, it taste very similar!!! Soooo similar I probably like this place better since it's closer and I don't have to wait too long. Plus the price point! Tried the black pepper beef filet 7/10 flavorful and good! Hits the meat craving just right Chicken xlb 9/10 sosososo good my favorite out of the meal Beef dumplings 8/10 - juicy and delicious Shrimp pork wonton spicy sauce 9/10 Cucumber salad 9/10 Chicken bun 9/10 The server was so nice, I added a sesame noodle Togo and all of our meal was under 100 bucks I will definitely be back! read more
Jia Yan is still solid! The prices have changed a bit since last year but the fact that we can get an our fix of XLBs without having to drive too far out is great for us. The XLB prices and other items has understandably gone up a few dollars, but the quality and quick service is still there. It's still low key hidden gem in the city but I notice there's more and more customers dining each time we come. Which I'm happy for them to get more loyal customers. Jia Yan is our other go to spot outside of Din Tai Fung for Pork XLBs, red bean buns and the chocolate XLBs and simply because we know the wait times are usually not long. Highly recommend! read more

I came back again and realized why it's been a while since I've been back. The portion size here is too small. Ordering 5 dishes for a family of 4 and everyone is still hungry. As a Chinese person that eats this type of food frequently their portion size is about 2/3 the size of other places. Noodle dishes are more like appetizers. Also they lack dish variety to be eaten with rice. I really want to like this place to support more Asian options in Glendora but the portion size is just way too small. I will say their xlb skin is very nice. The meat and soup in the xlb could use a little more depth. read more

First time here and this place has officially been added to my "places to eat" list. I live 10 minutes from here and it's such a great alternative to Din Tai Fung or Thumpling. We ordered a whole bunch of items from the menu and everything was great. Must orders have to be the seaweed salad, string bean, steamed pork dumplings, rice shumai, rice cake, and spicy wonton. Don't come for me but I think the spicy wontons here are better than Din Tai Fungs!! Service was very tentative and nice. They greeted and seated us right away. All the servers were very nice. I will definitely be back and will be recommending this place to all my friends and family. read more

The XLB and steam dumplings here are top notch and affordable. They both have great flavor dip in soy sauce and chili oil. The pork udon noodles was not bad, good taste and flavor. The pork bun was very good as well. The bread was soft read more

I can see a new phenomenon warming. The dumplings are absolutely delicious. The chicken and pork and the spicy chicken and pork dumplings are absolutely filling and wonderful. I enjoyed the spring rolls too and dipped it with the sauce. I'm almost glad that I didn't stay longer. I would've eaten everything. I found the price is very reasonable in the menu has a lot of different options so they offer a lot more than just dumplings. Well worth the stop. read more

This place was amazing!! From the start, service was top notch and food was delicious!!! Wanted to try something different and closer to home with easy parking. They hit everything I was looking for and more. I'd say better than Ding tai at the Arcadia mall. They also have a good lychee ice tea my favorite was the spicy wontons and veggie ones. We will be back for sure read more

Incredible place with amazing food and honestly very similar to din tai fung but more affordable. Tried most of the menu and the soup dumplings, spicy noodles and spicy wontons were some of my favorites. The chocolate xlb was also amazing and I truly wanted to get a second order and could not stop thinking about them. The service was alright and it's very bright in there but overall a great food experience. read more
Dumpling house suddenly appeared after my favorite pho place closed some months ago. My daughter loves dumplings, so I'm in to try anything local that doesn't have a line. I would start with a pot of tea. So good. I finished one all by myself. My favorite time is the spicy wonton. Also a must try also the Pork XLB. I could not stop eating these with the chili oil that is in the table. The only item I wasn't a fan of was the beef dumplings. Everything else was really good. On my first visit I forgot my credit card. They were kind enough to hold it and ask for my DL when I picked it up days later. read more
