Beef roll and House Beef Shank Noodle Soup were definitely my favorite! The Noodle in Sesame Sauce was more like in peanut sauce but this was too salty. The Deep Fried Crispy Eel was battered sugar that tasted nothing like Eel. read more

This restaurant used to be in San Gabriel and has been open for over 10 years! I have been coming here since I was in college, and it is still one of my favorite places for Chinese food. The Giant Juicy Pork & Crab Bun is a must-try! You need to use a straw to suck out the delicious soup inside before eating it. It's so juicy and flavorful! I also uploaded the menu so you can see the wide variety of food they offer. They have everything from cold dishes and stirfried dishes to desserts, so there is something for everyone. The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and family-friendly. I also like that you can see the workers making fresh buns through the open kitchen windows. The waiters are very welcoming and friendly. The restaurant is located in a plaza, so parking is easy to find. Great place to come with family and enjoy a good meal! read more

We visited Long Xing Ji Juicy Dumpling in Baldwin Park for dinner, and what a feast it was! Can someone please explain why these were the best soup dumplings we've ever had? Long Xing Ji serves authentic, traditional xiao long bao, but with a huge twist. Their giant pork and crab soup bun is an absolute showstopper, filled with rich, flavorful broth that bursts with every bite. It was unlike anything we've had before and definitely a must-order item. The cucumber with garlic sauce was the perfect appetizer. It was crisp, refreshing, and packed with bold garlic flavor that kept us coming back for more. We also ordered the shrimp wonton soup, and the broth completely surprised us. It had a depth of flavor that set it apart from the typical wonton soup. It's hard to describe exactly what made it so special, but it was incredibly delicious and memorable. Although the restaurant was very busy when we arrived, the seating process was efficient, and the service was quick and attentive. Most importantly, the food lived up to all the hype. Every dumpling dish we ordered was flavorful, freshly prepared, and absolutely satisfying. If you're a dumpling lover, Long Xing Ji Juicy Dumpling is well worth a visit. From the giant soup buns to the flavorful wonton soup, this restaurant delivered an outstanding dining experience that we'll definitely be returning for. read more

I was honestly surprised to find such authentic xiaolongbao in Baldwin Park. They tasted just like the ones I've had in China. They also have a giant crab roe soup dumpling for under $10, which is definitely worth trying. We ordered several stir-fried dishes and noodles, and everything was delicious. The flavors were very authentic, and the prices were surprisingly affordable. Our whole table came out to around $100, which felt like a great value for the amount and quality of food. If you live nearby and are craving authentic Chinese food, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try! read more

Taste :4.7/5 Environment: 4.5/5 Service: 4.5/5 This hidden gem has been serving Baldwin Park for years, and it's easy to see why people keep coming back. My must-orders: Crab Soup Dumplings -- thin skin, rich crab flavor, and so much broth in every bite. Crab Xiao Long Bao -- another must if you love juicy dumplings. Wuxi Spare Ribs -- fall-off-the-bone tender with that classic sweet and savory sauce. Fried Shrimp -- huge shrimp with a crispy coating. Crispy Eel -- crunchy, slightly sweet, and perfect for sharing. read more

This is one of the OG soup dumplings restaurants moved to West Covina couple months ago. The crab bun and crab dumplings are the must order dishes. Super thin wrap and super juicy inside.

My family lives in Rowland Heights, where it is literally Chinese food Heaven, so when my sister decided to come here to celebrate my nephew's birthday, I was a bit surprised they would go all the way to Baldwin Park to have dumplings. My mom is VERY picky so I drove here with really high expectations of their food. "This place must have REALLY juicy dumplings!" I thought to myself on the way here. I actually got lost coming here from Monrovia and ended up driving around in circles before pulling into a plaza that I typically would not stop to. A dumpling restaurant in a small plaza in the middle of Baldwin Park just seemed so out of place. I felt awkward being there but I thought to myself "The food must be SO good!". The restaurant itself is a decent size, with about 14 tables, with a spacious open kitchen area for them to make dumplings. The decor is outdated but cleanliness was an 8/10. Lots of different food selections on their menu with average pricing. They do serve beer so that is a huge plus. We had a party of 10 so we ordered lots of different food to try. My mom raved about every item we had (surprisingly, she is a huge fan of this restaurant), but I think every single dish was too salty for my taste. My favorite was the spicy fish and my least favorite was their boiled dumplings. The bill with tips came out to just a tad bit under $300, which isn't bad at all, but I don't think I would drive all the way to Baldwin Park for dumplings when I live so close to Arcadia and in Walnut and Rowland Heights daily. Food overall was a 5/10. Service makes up for mediocre food with a 9/10. read more

One of those restaurants I've been eating at for years and still crave from time to time. Their handmade xiao long bao is always my must-order--freshly wrapped, juicy, and best eaten while hot. The crab soup dumpling is also so satisfying, especially drinking the broth with a straw first. I also recommend the Liangxi crispy eel and Wuxi ribs if you like the slightly sweet, rich flavors of Jiangnan cuisine. Their spicy beef rice noodles, hot dry noodles, and shrimp wontons are all solid too. Tried the boiled fish for the first time this visit and loved it--tender fish, plenty of meat, and great mala flavor. Friendly service every time as well. read more

Wasn't a fan of the giant crab soup dumpling.....A) there's no logical way of eating eat, B) there's enough soup filling in there to fill 1/2 a rice bowl. C) the overall visual just looks unappealing to the eyes after initial breakage. Not a practical dish, would remove from menu. Liked the beef sliced noodles. You can tell noodles are fresh, dough are hand battered and pulled through noodle machinery. Soup base was light beef soup, with hints of szechuan green prickly peppercorns oils creating that numbing effect, and the hot chilli oil that glazes the surface of the soup had notes of ginger, coriander, garlic, anise, this spicy numbing beef noodle soup is a refreshing take from the Canton / Taiwanese style served at Mr. Dragon and Corner Beef Noodle Soup restaurant. Noodles had the perfect al dente ness.. with a bounce. Pot stickers were a bit dry, lacked juices. read more

My friend from Shanghai insisted I try this place, and wow... Long Xing Ji did NOT disappoint Authentic Jiangnan flavors! I finally came to check out Long Xing Ji today. The moment I walked in, I was hit with that lively, comforting "street food" vibe. You can even watch the chefs making dumplings and noodles right in front of you--it honestly feels like stepping into a street in southern China. Carb lovers, this place is heaven. We ordered a full table of carb-loaded goodness, and every bite was incredible Crab Roe Soup Dumplings Packed with real crab roe and meat--super generous filling! I even found tiny bits of soft shell. Poke a small hole and sip the soup first... SO flavorful. The wrapper is paper-thin and the filling is super tender. No wonder it's their signature. Wuxi Pork Ribs + Braised Pork Meatballs The ribs have that classic sweet-savory Wuxi flavor--fall-off-the-bone tender and coated in rich sauce. Huge portion too! The meatballs are juicy and perfectly balanced between lean and fat--bursting with flavor when you bite in. Pork Soup Dumplings + Shrimp Wontons The xiao long bao are filled with rich broth--definitely go for the slightly sweet style! The shrimp wontons have whole, visible shrimp inside, and the soup is light but super fresh and comforting. Crab Shell Pastry + Yulan Fried Bun The crab shell pastry is super flaky and savory--crumbly in the best way. And the Yulan bun? First time trying it in the U.S. Crispy golden outside, soft and chewy inside with a sweet-savory filling. So good. Shanghai Vegetable Rice + Scallion Oil Noodles The veggie rice is perfectly seasoned, with greens and diced pork mixed in--so nostalgic and comforting. The scallion oil noodles are simple but packed with aroma, with that classic Shanghai flavor and chewy texture. This meal was seriously a flavor celebration. Every dish carries that delicate yet comforting Jiangnan essence. I can't believe you can find such authentic Shanghai-style food in LA--so happy If you love carbs and Jiangnan cuisine, SAVE this spot and go try it! read more

My partner took me here for dinner yesterday, and overall we had a good experience. The dumplings were fresh, flavorful, and tasted pretty authentic, definitely the highlight of our meal. We really enjoyed them. The only dish I didn't love as much was the soup. We ordered items labeled as spicy, but none of them actually had much heat. I wish they would have added more spice to match what was advertised. One big plus is the location inside the mall, it's very convenient. However, because it's open and not enclosed like a traditional restaurant, it doesn't feel as intimate or cozy. Overall, the food was enjoyable, especially the dumplings, but I'd love to see more spice and a slightly more private dining atmosphere. read more

This place is such a gem! Definitely try their soup ciao long bao. The skins are paper-thin but somehow hold in a massive pool of rich, perfectly balanced soup without breaking. They have both sweet and savory options. The sweet ones completely blew me away. My husband and I couldn't stop eating them. For the savory dishes, the kitchen definitely leans a bit heavier on the salt. The Mapo Tofu isn't really that numb-tingling, spicy Sichuan style, and there isn't a ton of minced pork, so it's a bit more of a simple, comforting dish. The Fish-Flavored Shredded Pork had an awesome balance of sweet and garlicky notes, and I loved that it came with so many veggies, even if it was a little on the saltier side. To round it all out, the pastries were a total joy. The potstickers had that flawless, crunchy golden-brown bottom you always hope for. But the sleeper hit was definitely the red bean sesame pastry. It was so beautifully flaky, shattering when you bite into it, with a smooth filling that wasn't overly sugary. It's exactly the kind of dessert where you tell yourself "just one more bite" until the whole plate is gone. Super down-to-earth, comforting food. Go for the XLB and the pastries alone! read more

Long Xing Ji Juicy Dumpling - Chinese Near Me - Baldwin Park, California

My family had just finished attending our son's graduation from his Technical Trade School in Rancho Cucamonga and I thought since we were in the area, it was road trip time to Baldwin Park for a celebratory lunch. The parking lot for Long Xing Ji Juicy Dumpling is kinda compact and shares its spaces with many other businesses in this small strip mall. We entered the restaurant a few minutes after 12 P.M. It was surprisingly not filled up with many diner yet. Several more patrons came in shortly after we were seated and had placed our order. A young man gretted my family and brought us to a table and asked what type of beverages we would like. Soon 4 12 oz. cans of Coke ($2.20 each) arrived at our table. I also ordered a pot of hot tea which was free. We were given one laminated menu to look at. It was explained to us that to order, we needed to scan a QR code on the table using a cell phone, to place our order. Once we selected our menu items, it was easy and hassle free to order from our phone. The only thing you cannot do is pay on the phone. Your server will hand you your bill when you are ready to pay at the end of your meal. Our order: Shredded Bean Curd w/Cilantro ($9.99); Juicy Pork Dumplings (XLB's w/Unsweet Filling)/Eight Pieces for $12.99 (we doubled this item ($25.98); Juicy Pork & Crab Bun (Giant XLB) for $8.99; Crispy Onion Pancake ($7.99); Beef Rolls ($12.99); Pan Fried Pork Pot Stickers (Eight Pieces for $12.99); House Golden Crispy Cake (Four Pieces for $12.99); A Choy ($15.99) Our wait was under five minutes before our dishes began to fly out of the hardworking kitchen. First to arrive was the veggie dish, A Choy. Delicious and crunchy with a nice amount of garlic in the saucing. Second course arriving was the cold Bean Curd w/Cilantro. Shreds of firm tofu lightly tossed with the right amount of Cilantro and a sesame based dressing. This was a new dish for me and the wife (our sons passed on trying) and we really liked it. In quick succession came the Juicy Pork Dumplings-Unsweet, the Juicy Pork & Crab Bun, Pan Fried Pork Pot Stickers, Beef Rolls and the House Golden Crispy cakes. The Unsweet Pork XLB's were really good. The dough used to encapsulate the brioth and filling was delicate and thin, yet one could pick it up from the steaming pan without it sticking and breaking apart before you can appreciate it. Is it the best we have ever had....No, but I would rate these a strong 7.5 out of 10. I wish their condiments you you use when eating XLB's were a bit stronger and or in a much more generous portion. They are really stingy with the ginger, and the black vinegar seemed watered down in flavor and strength. The giant Pork & Crab Bun (XLB) was something I have never had before. I gently poked the dumpling with a provided straw and offered my wife and two sons a chance to try it. Only my mini me (youngest son) wanted to try though he is not a seafood fan. He tried but not his cup of tea. I sucked up the broth which was still piping hot several minutes after it was delivered to our table. I like it, it was mild in the crab roe flavor but I enjoyed the flavor profile. I decied to attempt (based on other Yelper's suggestions) to remove the dumpling for the steaming pan to eat. I was quite surprised to see that the dumpling consisted entirely of broth with no solid filling: you can see the mess I made on my plate. It The wrapper again was quite thin and I devoured both the broth and wrapper with gusto. The Crispy onion pancake was not the best we have ever had: not a lot of green onions in it. The beef rolls were prety good. A generous amount of both deli beef wand cilantro. It could've used a bit more Hoisin sauce though. The Pan Fried Pork Pot Stickers were decent. Again, Not the best but not the worst. I tried using the chili oil that is in each table. It was very mild in both flavor and heat level. Lastly, the House Golden Crispy Cake. It read well on the menu description. Basically using the same dough as what fried sesame balls (Jian Dui) are made with but filled instead with a pork filling. Not sure what I was expecting (based on Jian Dui texture and mouth feel) but all four of us were very fond of these. They took several minutes to cool as the filling was piping hot! They looked so appetizing until you take a bite of the dough wrapper. I'm trying no to be mean spritied, but the dough for being deep fried was slimy and squishy when one begins chewing. I am used to Jian Dui having some resistance and chewiness to it's dough but this was way different. The filling also caught me off guard. The pork filling was really sweet. I really wish I could like this dish but not sure if what we experienced is what they are suppose to be like or not. Our waitress/server was very polite and explained each dish as she presented it to our table. It was nice to try several new dishes. We would return to eat here again if we are in the area. read more

I enjoy the contact-less ordering when you can use the smartphone, scan and place the order by phone to your table. AND they offer free tea, a nice cozy plus on your winter night. All the food looked delicious. I ordered the wonton soup, good but it was heavy on the white pepper seasoning. I ordered togo the braised eggplant, green onion mixed cold noodle and the hot and spicy noodle soup. Braised Eggplant: I LOVE this dish at all restaurants, but they made it kind of spicy here. I was not expecting that. But still delicious Green Onion Mixed Noodle (cold). This was refreshing. The onion vinegrette sauce made it tangy. They had shredded carrots and some bok choy. Perfect for my 1 year old daughter. Hot & Spicy Beef Noodle: Good, but note that it is a schezwan spicy. Overall, I had a good experience and will be back. read more

This place is FIRE As far as I know, this is the ONLY place that makes the giant soup dumpling. You heard me right. THE as in ONE soup dumpling! Check out the pics! It's one huge dumpling filled with a piping hot crab soup. The technique told to me is to use the straw to suck off any soup on the top, then carefully poke the straw in then drink up the soup inside. I thought that the dumpling wouldn't be edible, but I was wrong! You can eat the whole thing, and it's a delicious crab dumpling! Soup dumplings aside, there were so many options on foods to eat and everything we had was scrumptious! The crispy rice that came with the salt and pepper shrimp were fire! The shrimp were perfectly cooked to be super crispy outside but still nice and juicy and not overcooked inside. The inside of the place is like a quick diner/cafe, but what is nice is that you can see them making the dumplings fresh! We don't live anywhere near here, but it's worth the drive to come out and try this unique experience! read more

We seriously thought we lost this place for good, so you can imagine our excitement when we randomly stumbled across Long Xing Ji #1 Juicy Dumpling while searching for dumplings on Yelp today! Turns out they didn't disappear they just moved, and thankfully not too far from our hometown area. They are now located in Covina. Walking in felt like finding an old favorite all over again. The service is still just as great as we remembered...friendly, quick, and welcoming. And the food? Still delivering those huge, satisfying portions with barely any wait time. It's honestly impressive how fast everything came out, especially considering how busy dumpling spots can get. We were so happy to see that the quality and flavors we loved are still there, and it definitely brought back all the reasons we kept coming back before. This new location is still super convenient for us too, which makes it even better. The only small downside was that some of the dishes came out a little colder than we would've liked, but honestly, it didn't take away too much from the overall experience. All in all, we're just thrilled this place is still around and still doing its thing. Definitely coming back again (and probably very soon)! As always...get the spare ribs!!!! read more

This is our ultimate comfort food spot. We used to go to their original location in San Gabriel before the pandemic. This is our 2nd time here at this new location. Glad to find them reopened here, which is nearby the original IN-N-OUT. Prices are reasonable. Servers were polite and helpful. Spacious and clean interior with some Chinese decor. Their signature juicy pork & crab bun was big and flavorful but little too salty, they give you a straw to sip the juicy meat soup. All dumplings, buns, wontons, and noodles are fresh made in-house, there's a see through window you can see how they making them at the front right corner. Everything we ordered was pretty good. Love their spicy beef noodle soup with perfect mala flavor, not so spicy. Tender beef and the noodles have good chewy texture, not doughy. Here are the dishes that we have ordered: Shredded Bean Curd with Cilantro Shredded Potatoes Juicy Pork & Crab Bun Hot & Spicy Beef Noodle Soup Red Bean Puff Pastry Ham & Scallion Crispy Cake Pan Fried Pork Pot Stickers Crispy Onion Pancake Pork Wonton Soup Stir-fried Bean Seedlings Overall, this is a restaurant with good food and great value.

Amazing xiao long bao spot in Baldwin Park. The restaurant looks simple, but the food is seriously good. The crab soup dumpling was huge and full of rich crab broth. You drink the soup first with a straw, then eat the wrapper and filling -- super satisfying. The pork xiao long bao was also great: thin skin, lots of soup, tender slightly sweet filling. I also loved the red bean pastry. It was flaky, crispy, and not too sweet. Other highlights were the crispy eel, Wuxi pork ribs, salt & pepper shrimp with crispy rice, green beans with beef, and sautéed pea shoots. Very authentic Jiangnan-style flavors. Definitely worth coming for the soup dumplings. read more

This wildly popular place is the 2nd location. According to the owner, it's been here for about a 1/2 year already. They are known for the large soup buns that you need a straw to drink the broth. On a Saturday around 11:30, they were near capacity. Our party of 8 arrived and took the last tables. Then the line started. For a place that's been around for a 1/2 year, they don't seem to have their system down yet. It was busy, yes, but the staff looked lost. I was facing the kitchen area and it looked like every dish that came out, they were trying to figure out which table it belongs to. After a while of no Jen coming by, I had to go there and tell them to bring us water, and to take our order. #59, Wu Xi style spare ribs. Many tables ordered it but it looks better than it tastes. They're not bad, but felt rushed. The flavor was mild, and meat was tender but no wow factor. 3/5 Deep fried eel is something new. Thin strips of crispy eel that's slightly sweet and more of a snack or appetizer. Not bad. 3.5/5 Kidneys and cilantro was surprisingly very tasty. It was full of flavor and the chili oil and cilantro gave it new depth of flavor. 4/5 XLB: We ordeeed chicken, fish, pork and red bean. They all came out at different times throughout our meal. The red bean should have come out later, being a sweet item but it was served way before the pork came out. All were good and didn't need sauces like most places. 3.5/5 Their famous crap and pork soup bun was served not in a bowl where it can capture the soup, but in a steamer tray with holes. Not the smartest thing to do. It was salty and heavy with a bit of crab flavor. 3/5 The green beans were very good 4.5/5, while the shredded potatoes had a sour note. 3/5. They completely forgot about our orders of ham and scallion crispy cake, that we had to remind them a couple of times, but when it came out, it's nothing like what we expected. There were no scallion flavor or any that's visible. The filling was sweet, resembling a char siu bun, without the pieces of meat. It was just weird. 2/5. The staff was pleasant, just overwhelmed that things did t go smoothly. It was chaotic, our food arrived at an odd pace and we constantly had to go remind them for things. I'm not saying to avoid this place, but maybe just go on a weekday when it's not so busy. Maybe they'll do better. read more

I remember only dining in once at their San Gabriel location with co-workers and picking up a dinner to-go order before most of the second floor businesses were kicked out of that plaza, so imagine my surprise and delight to find Long Xing Ji open in another location, even closer to me this time! I was in a dumplings mood and wanted to try Long Xing Ji again. We came around 2 pm, which was perfect as there was barely any wait for a table, service, and the food. We ordered the juicy pork and crab bun ($8.99 - basically the super large singular juicy dumpling), juicy pork dumplings ($10.99 - the regular sized ones, comes with 8 pieces), crispy onion pancake ($6.99), a choy ($13.99), and mapo tofu ($11.99). Loved the dumplings, both regular sized and jumbo. The dumpling skin was as thin as Ding Tai Fung and not doughy at all. Soup inside the dumpling was light and refreshing, not full of oily sauces. There was incredibly a lot of crab filling in the super large dumpling! Their crispy onion pancake was made just the way I like it -- the dough wasn't thick, oil from the frying was light, and the right balance of green onions for flavor. Lots of garlic with the a choy (score for me) and lots of numbing mala spice with the mapo tofu. Make sure to order some steamed rice to go with the mapo tofu! Service was pretty good, no issues getting water refills and finding someone for anything we needed. Plenty of space inside for various sized groups. Plenty of parking in the plaza. read more

I didn't know their original location closed down and had been on my bookmarks, but they opened this year in Baldwin Park. I came here with my mom on a weekday to try their xiao long bao and their giant version of xiao long bao with crab. It was a bit quiet with two other tables. We also got hot and sour soup ($8.99), Yangzhou fried rice ($10.99), and sauteed cabbage ($11.99) to try. The xiao long bao had plenty of broth and was thin but not too doughy. The large version had a good amount of crab and broth in it so the straws were useful. The fried rice was seasoned well and the soup was good. We liked the cabbage the most with plenty of garlic bits in it. The wait time was not long. read more

Love to see some new dumplings spots making its way to Baldwin Park and I felt like Long Xi Ji hit the spot at a very affordable price. Wasn't too crowded on Saturday for dinner and the service was really good. I tried out these 4 items. Shrimp Wonton Soup - Good flavors and the shrimp pieces of large. Wontons were made of only shrimp almost like a har gao but it was very tasty. (4.5/5) Juicy Pork and Crab Dumplings - For $14 I felt like this was really good. Had a good amount of soup and the flavors overall were solid. (4/5) Mapo Tofu - Great spice but not overly spicy. It's a classic and it was tasty. (4.5/5) Yang Zhou Fried Rice - Simple classic but done well. It was overall tasty and a nice carb to get instead of just the basic white rice. (4/5) Overall we spent $52 and had a whole portion leftover to take home. Would be back whenever I need to get my dumpling fix at a good price. read more

I had a great experience at Long Xing Ji! Everything we ordered was delicious, and the quality really stood out. The pork soup dumplings were a classic--thin skin, juicy filling, and packed with flavorful broth. The shrimp soup dumplings were just as good, with fresh, plump shrimp inside that added a nice texture. The highlight of the meal was definitely the giant crab roe soup dumpling. It came with a straw so you could sip the rich soup first, which was such a fun experience. The filling was incredibly generous with lots of crab roe and pork. The cold sliced pork kidney was another surprise favorite. It was fresh, tender, and had no unpleasant smell at all. The seasoning was flavorful and refreshing. read more

I can't remember the keyword I used to find Long Xing Ji Juicy Dumpling; it's slightly out of my typical SGV range (Baldwin Park), but I saw a pic of that ginormous Juicy Pork & Crab Bun & had to come try their XLBs! The restaurant is located in Gateway Center on the center of the east side. While parking is plentiful, it can get business during lunch & dinner rushes due to other restaurants in the plaza. The parking is a bit awkward by LXJJD when I had to turn the corner for an open space, it was tight even though it's runs both ways but feels like it's 1-way. Upon entering, we weren't welcomed right away because they were that busy; there's no kiosk or wait list for check-in. Luckily, there's only 1 family ahead & we were accounted for right after the fam was led to a table. The dining room is functional & clean with decent spacing in the pathway so that you're not bumping into others. Men's & women's restrooms are located in the back on the right, just behind the expedite counter. There was a laminated menu on the table, & the place setting was on an place met filled with advertisements. Eh... I would prefer a blank, white one. Maybe they generate income from this? The server spoke Mandarin so quickly I barely caught it; he was trying to tell me to use the QR code (bottom left corner of table) to place our order. I also brought my own loose tea & requested a pot of hot water, though the server misunderstood/misheard & brought over one with a bagged tea (though I wasn't surcharged for tea) & I had to repeat myself. Even without my personal tea, tea is inclusive so there's no pot or per person surcharge. I already listed what I wanted to try & waited to see what my brother's picks were; I had to guide him away from Ma Po Tofu to Fish Fillet with Tofu in Chili Sauce, with fish instead of pork. ;-) He wanted more dumplings so I had to scratch off Wuxi Style Spareribs. I liked that their menu included some pics, influencing some of our picks. Food came fast... Crispy Onion Pancake, A Choy, then XLBs! We were given 5 straws for the Juicy Pork & Crab Bun, though we could use just 2 for me (to share with my hubby) & my brother. The "soup" was delish, lots of umami flavor, but challenging to eat directly from the steamer, losing the soup if the wrapper doesn't remain intact. I tried to lift the bun from the steamer onto the plate but still lost a little soup because I already poked a hole. Next time transfer first, then drink/eat. Long Xing Ji Juicy Dumpling truly lives up to its name; their dumplings are juicy! I especially love the skin... a perfect delicate balance of thinness, tenderness/good mouthfeel, & elasticity even when cool! Way better than DTF IMO; they used to be this way in its heyday 2 decades ago. Wrapper:filling ratio is even, so that you're not wondering where's the protein. I like the Fish Dumplings, but they were a little bland. The pancake was tasty; could use a little more green onions. I love A Choy when I first learned of it 2 decades ago; very few restaurants serve this fav veggie. It's mildly sweet with a subtle earthy flavor, reminds me of romaine; paired well as a garlic stir-fry = wok hei (鑊氣). I like the Beef Roll Pancake was a tasty mix of sweet & savory; uneven ratio of wrapper:filling, could use a little more beef than the sliver in mine. And the pancake had better flavor than the standalone one. The Vegetable with Rice Cake was ok; it had pork slivers but could use some aromatics (ginger, star anise), light &/or dark soy, & more veggies like cabbage, mung bean sprouts, etc. for flavor & texture. Fish Fillet with Tofu in Chili Sauce was bomb! So glad that I swapped out Ma Po Tofu; the fish was tender & sweet, & the soft tofu paired well with the chili kick! I used the leftovers & poured over noods for a yummy next day lunch. Yang Zhou Fried Rice was a typical fried rice; however, LXJJD hit the 鑊氣 mark with distinct, fluffy grains & infused flavors with firm diced veggies & flavorful cured ham. This little gem is definitely worth the 1+ hr. drive... Long Xing Ji Juicy Dumpling is a venerable dumpling specialist that you should try if you're a XLB lover! Highly Recommended: Fish Fillet with Tofu in Chili Sauce (my fav & a must get!), A Choy, Yang Zhou Fried Rice, Juicy Pork & Shrimp Dumplings, Juicy Pork & Crab Bun, Beef Rolls, Crispy Onion Pancake. read more

The string beans were very salty. The dumplings were good and generously sized, and the crab dumpling was very flavorful, though also on the salty side. The cilantro with kidney dish was tasty but quite greasy. Overall, the service was good, but the food was consistently on the salty side. read more

So this restaurant was once located in San Gabriel, and was closed by the strip mall management because they wanted renovate and charge larger rent fees. Well, we are soon glad they relocated to Baldwin Park. The chef is the same and the food tastes just as good as it was before. We got our normal Pork Dumplings, stir fried green beans, and pork belly fried rice. We also got a the House Beef Shank which was refreshingly served cold. We thought it was a hot dish, but it was pretty good. We talked to the owners and staff about missing coming there because they moved, but are back to our favorite Chinese restaurant. Please go the food is really good. read more

Really happy to have this new spot in Baldwin Park, it's a great addition to the area and seems very popular. I came at noon on a Friday and they were busy for lunch. Service was very fast, everything was correct even my "cilantro on the side only" request which tends to get messed up often. Everything was tasty, though I did feel a few dishes were under seasoned. I added a little soy sauce and vinegar to several things including the sesame noodles and spicy wonton, they just needed more salt in my opinion. My husband LOVED the spicy wontons. The pork xiaolongbao was excellent, so juicy and only 1 of the 8 ripped on me. I would come back solely for the xlb. The ribs were massive and tender, would definitely recommend those. Overall everything was good, just slightly under seasoned. I'll be back! read more

Amazing spot for Baldwin Park! I'm a huge fan of Mama Lu's so sometimes I just stick with what I like. One of my friends posted a few of their photos and I had to come and try! Love that they are a small shop and you can see that they care about their food quality and how it tastes. They give you a dry eraser market and you can mark on the menu what you want. Sort of smart if there is a language barrier and you can't understand each other. Food came out fairly quickly during lunch time. Service staff were friendly and restaurant was clean. Food tasted amazing. I got their spicy and sour potato and hot and spicy fish. Both delicious can't wait to come back and try their other items read more

This restaurant has my favorite xiaolongbao! The taste is beyond words. Every dish is delicious! You'll fall in love after just one visit. This time I ordered their signature dishes, and they were all 5-star. "Wuxi Pork Ribs" and "Liangxi Crispy Eel" are incredible. They're all sweet, good choices for kids. Those who love sweet-flavored food will definitely enjoy these dishes. "Juicy Pork and Crab Dumplings" is my favorite. Super tasty and soooooo delicious! A must-order for sure ! Really love this restaurant, highly recommended for everyone! read more

It is rare to find a Jiangsu restaurant in the U.S. such as this restaurant. The interior provides transparency to observe the making of xiaolongbao. The menu represents authentic Jiangsu/Zhejiang dish such as xiaolongbao, noodle soup with pork rib. I ordered a few classics and am generally satisfied with the flavor. Overall, the flavor is leaning towards the sweet side, which although understandably is the regional characteristic, could be dealt with more delicacy for improved balanced. The xiaolongbao was hand-made on site and therefore took a little longer than 20 mins to serve. read more

Finally visited Long Xing Ji's new Baldwin Park location, and it definitely lived up to the hype! The crab soup dumplings were the highlight--don't forget to sip the rich crab broth with a straw before taking a bite. They were packed with real crab and so flavorful. We also loved the pork soup dumplings, the crispy red bean pastry, and the Wuxi pork ribs, which were tender, slightly sweet, and a huge portion. The osmanthus sweet rice balls were a perfect dessert, and the crab tofu was silky and great for sharing with kids or older family members. The staff was friendly, service was quick, there's plenty of parking, and the restaurant filled up fast after we arrived around 5 PM. We'll definitely be back! read more

I was sad when the original restaurant moved to Puente/Baldwin Hills. This spot is a little farther to drive since they left Alhambra but man, the XLB is SO worth it. More than that, the fried eel skin appetizer is by far my MOST favorite item on the menu. I haven't seen it anywhere else and until I do, this is my go to spot. This location is much more modern and clean. No more sticky wooden table tops. Def coming back for more! read more
