Major Dumpling is a great spot for XLB. Honestly, this outshines other "major" dumpling spots with long lines. We enjoyed this more so than the two big ones from South Coast Plaza and were stunned by the quality of their food here. We enjoyed every bite. We couldn't find a flaw in any of their dishes. Each dish was flavorful and you just couldn't get enough. The serving size is generous too. You really get your moneys worth here. The service here is excellent too. They only had one server here when we visited but she gave great service to everyone in the restaurant. She was attentive and very hospitable which made our experience even more pleasant. The place is fairly small and the overall aesthetics of the restaurant is fine. You're here for the food, not the ambiance. Skip those long lines and go here instead. Trust me, it's worth the visit. read more

randomly found this spot because of its location where i was meeting someone halfway between where I was, and where he was. We ordered the trifecta Chinese food of Yummies, namely, XLB, beef rolls, and potstickers. I'm happy to say that they were all delicious and the XLB's were folded in a special distinct pattern that differ from the typical shape you find at DTF and elsewhere. and I had good conversations with my friend, what else could you ask for? read more

The eggplant *chefs kiss* Pros: Their eggplant dish is hands down the best I've ever had. I will come back for this dish. I'm not a huge fan of eggplant. The wife loves it for some reason, but I'll eat it when it's there, but this time.. The combination of flavors when it first hit my mouth was unbelievable. It's so good! They give you some rice with it because it's really rich, but either way.. It's amazing. Prices are decent for the serving sizes. Had the Dan Dan noodles and the xlb dumplings along with the scallion pancake. The other stuff is pretty standard and tastes like how you would expect.(not a bad thing) It's all fresh and handmade which is nice. Clean peaceful atmosphere. Service is quick and friendly. Cons: luckily you have yelp and Google to find this place because it's a bit hidden away. Prices are decent, but nothing spectacular. Bottom line: it's hard to find good dumpling places close by. This one gives me the fix that I'm looking for and it has the best eggplant dish I've ever had. Will come again. read more

really enjoyed this spot for a quick bite! Prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly. String beans were a bit on the salty side but other than that, everything tasted great. Parking is easy in the parking lot, It's a small restaurant with a few seats so it can fill up fast. Would love to come back to try some different items. read more

First time coming here, which was near closing time, and my friend was craving soup, which they had. I, on the other hand, was down for whatever and wanted to try the mapo tofu, which I had never had before but had heard good things about, as well as the scallion pancake. Although most of the food seemed to be missing flavor or seasoning, it was good, but it didn't get there. It just felt as if something was missing to give it that last push. Other than that, the server was very friendly, kind, and attentive to us. Keeping the inside clean and keeping an eye on other guests in the restaurant. read more

Been a long time customer, returning more often recently due to the new variety in thier menu. Overall they have up thier game with thier staple dumplings, the dumplings are more flavorful and the portion sizes remain fair for the cost. The noodle dishes have improved in flavor. They now have basic Chinese American dishes like Orange Chicken and Kung Pao Chicken. Now this place is great for old style Chinese American flavors and a more traditional Chinese Noodle shop and dumplings. Definitely check it out. read more

Nice to know there is a Dumplings restaurant in Diamond Bar. Plenty of parking here. Which is great. This restaurant is kind of small, only a few tables. We came here late for dinner, so we were the only one there. While we were dinning, we saw a couple of people came in to pick up their to-go orders. We ordered the followings: - Chicken Dumplings - Fried Chicken Wings (BBQ) - Spicy Beef Noodle Soup - Yangzhou Fried Rice - Stir-Fried Beef with Green Onion - Steam Rice Foods came out quickly. Chicken Dumplings was good. Fried Chicken Wings was nice and slightly sweet. The Spicy Beef Noodle Soup was on point. The broth was tasty, not too spicy. Beef was tender, veggies was delightful. Yangzhou Fried Rice was lightly flavored. Not too bland. Still tasted pretty good. The Stir-Fried Beef goes well with the Steam Rice. Perfect pairing I say. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner. I would have given them 5 stars if they have a restroom here. It is odd to have a sit down restaurant and not have a restroom. If it was a to-go only restaurant, I would understand, but no restroom? I did see a sink in the dining area, but I think it was for the staffs only. read more

This spot is a hidden gem for handmade dumplings perfectly chewy, juicy, and clearly made with care. The fried noodles were the real surprise: packed with flavor and honestly even better than Din Tai Fung's (and at about 30% less!). Definitely my new go-to for dumplings and noodles. Service was great. Inside was small but very clean. Food came out hot and timely. read more

Major Dumplings - Inside - Asian Fusion Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

A small little place serving authentic Chinese dishes. It is located in a plaza with ample parking spaces. There are approximately 6-7 tables and 1 person managing tables and to-go orders. There was a constant stream of phone orders, but she was still attentive to us at the tables. Everything was delicious. It was my daughter's first time, and she's already asking when we can return. If you want good, simple, & authentic Chinese food without the frills and Instagrammable pics, this is the place for you! read more

Amazing food and service. Small restaurant with approximately 6-7 tables and 1 person managing to go orders and tables. Great for kids, but not large groups. We came at 6pm on a Saturday night and there was a constant stream of phone orders and I can understand why after eating here. Everything was so good. My kids wanted the beef noodle soup, but spicy was the only option. The kind wait staff said they could swap out the broth with non spicy chicken broth. It turned out better than I imagined. The chicken broth was savory and the beef slices were very tender. We loved everything else we ordered that included the pan fried chicken dumplings, cold shredded potato salad, eggplant, spicy wontons, pancake, kung pao chicken, and green beans. The service was amazing. The wait staff was very attentive and brought out scissors for us to cut my kids noodles. Would definitely recommend to all. read more

More like 3.6473 stars. Major Dumplings occupies the loneliest corner of this plaza. In fact, it occupies the former Pizza Hut (RIP) space. Unless you seek it out, you wouldn't know it's there. My mom, sister, and I recently lunched here. We shared the following: -cucumber salad ($4.50) -lao gan ma fried noodle with prime beef ($13.50) -pork potstickers ($10.50 for 8 pcs) -wonton in spicy sauce ($10.50 for 8 pcs) Our server recommended the lao gan fried noodles and that coincidentally was the tastiest thing we tried. The noodles are tossed with your choice of protein, cabbage, and julienned carrots. The noodles weren't overly dressed or seasoned but they did have a very nice wok taste to them. The dumpling situation was very mid considering its namesake. While the potstickers and wontons are generously sized, the filling lacked flavor. What you end up with is a very large, yet bland, dumpling. Also note that wonton in spicy sauce here is very different than spicy wontons elsewhere. These wontons were swimming in a pool of Szechuan sauce hence "wonton in spicy sauce." I'll have to try their soup dumplings next time. The Major Dumplings is a nice addition to the Diamond Bar dining scene. I'll be back to try other food items from their expansive menu. read more

Major Dumplings - Pork/shrimp/egg chive dumplings - Asian Fusion Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

This place is right up the street from where I am and when I'm up at night and can't sleep, I browse their menu and salivate while flirting with Ubereats. But I was never brave enough to proceed with order. Just the forever 'add to cart' winks. But I'm hungry today and I've no access to my kitchen. Finally came in and got a few things, even had two soup dumplings just cause! I'd been missing meat in this vegetarian diet, but the two dumplings were.. really not worth breaking the lifestyle for. It's no Ding Tai Fung and there's no vegetarian ones. The cucumber salad was a little too sour and not enough cilantro. Or any cilantro. Or garlic. But nice as pickles. But the Mapo tofu was the most disappointing.. i used to love this dish and would only eat this back when even black pepper was considered 'too spicy' for me. Mapo tofu with rice is the best. But their version was just mild tofu in thickened sauce. No fermented beans or spiciness. Very little flavor and did not make me want more rice. The scallion pancakes were ok. Greasy but ok. Not super flaky but fine. Perhaps the best thing was their iced green tea. Because there's no hot tea. At a place with Chinese on the menu. read more

Food: Cucumber Salad had the vinegar taste with the crispiness; Beef Roll was tasty and included 2 large rolls; Braised Eggplant with Garlic Sauce had a great balance of flavor not being too garlicy; Pork Potstickers were more on the soft side and not crispy; Dan Dan Noodles were tasty, but not spicy at all; Kung Pao Chicken was not spicy either Service: very friendly & helpful waitstaff and everything is made-to-order fresh Design: interiors is clean, relatively new and has about (6) 4-seat tables Overall: if you want a good variety of Chinese food with dumplings, noodles, and the classics with friendly service, then check out this place in Diamond Bar read more

We were in the area and looking for a good beef noodle soup. This is a small restaurant with only a handful of tables but the service is quick and the staff is very friendly. We ordered the spicy beef noodle soup, beef roll, orange chicken, noodle dish, and juicy pork dumplings. They gave us ginger and had soy sauce, chili, and vinegar. The food was very good, my favorite was the soup dumplings and beef roll. read more

Major dumplings has quickly become our go to for to-go dumplings. It's one of the few places in Diamond Bar to get dumplings that I've tried so far. Some of the notable dishes worth ordering again and again have been scallion pancakes, wontons in spicy sauce, dan dan noodles, sautéed string beans, and cucumber salad. Things you could probably do without ordering: wonton soup and fried rice both lacked depth of flavor and were just ok. I would say the prices are fair given the economy. But I also think if you drive further you can find something better for the same price. For the convenience and ease of the place, we keep coming back when we're pressed on time or looking for a quick dinner. I've only ever done take out from here and haven't ran into any issues yet. I'd recommend ordering online as it gives you a fair estimate of time. Overall, it's certainly worth trying especially if you are in the area! read more

I love this spot. It's great for a quick dinner. We've been coming here since it opened. The staff is all super friendly and they have great recommendations for food and drinks. It's very small and clean. Their beef noodle soup is very good and so is the XLB. read more

I came here in search of a new dumpling place near our house, and was very disappointed with our XLB. I don't know if it was just because we ordered it to go, or if this is a common issue, but none of our xiao long baos had any soup in it. After I inspected all of them, you can tell in the photo that most of them came ripped so all the soup was gone, but even the dumplings that were fully intact did not have a single drop of soup. Was very disappointing because this was my husband's first time trying them and I had to tell them this was not the standard. Besides the quality of the food, the restaurant had decent service. read more

Major Dumplings - XLB Pork Dumplings / 鲜肉小笼包 (8) - Asian Fusion Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

One adult and two kids entered this new dumpling restaurant at Diamond Bar, California. Major dumpling is a small eatery, but offers a lot of dishes for a new restaurant. We ordered spicy beef noodle soup which is spicy with some kicks. XLB pork dumplings x 8. Juicy inside and tastes good for soup pork dumplings, a solid dish. House special fried noodle with shrimp it's got lots of different ingredients like vegetables, very tasty in my opinion. Service is done with one waitress. She does everything, so it can be slow but overall friendly and fast and just little slower when she is flooded with customers' demands. Overall the new restaurant is clean, dishes are tasty without too much grease, salt, and small dishes. read more

Major Dumplings - Veggie fried rice Chongqing Crispy Chicken Cucumber Salad/ 盐渍小黄瓜 - Asian Fusion Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

Can I say this place is kind of underrated? I've never seen this place because I don't go to this shopping complex often so I actually found out about this place through yelp. I decided to try with my family because it was nearby and the reviews are pretty good. We got the beef noodles, pork and fennel dumplings, and beef wrap. Everything we ordered was yummy and not too oily. I didn't order the xlb though so I wouldn't know how it is compared to other xiao long bao places. The restaurant is clean and the service is very good! Definitely a local gem! read more

The food is mediocre, but the service is very nice. Came here a few times and tried a couple of different items on the menu, and everything is very mediocre and taste and quality. The food usually lacks flavor, and is either overcooked or undercooked. Portion size is good, prices are reasonable. The wonton soup, the wontons was undercooked, and did not taste good. The beef noodle soup was a bit too salty too much soy sauce, and the beef was overcooked and very dry. I really wanted to like this place, but there are just so much competition in this area. read more

Major Dumplings - Asian Fusion Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

This is a great little spot that opened up near my parents' house, and my husband and I are excited to go there every time we visit. Everything we've ordered there is delicious! Some of our favorite dishes are the soup dumplings, the wontons in chili oil (we usually order the shrimp. They put grated carrots in the filling which I've never seen before, but they make the texture and taste delicious!), the seaweed salad, the beef roll, the green beans, etc. etc. etc. It's a casual dining spot--they seem to do a lot of take out, too. read more

I can't believe this great lil spot has been here 2 yrs!! If you haven't tried them.. come asap, you won't be disappointed!! Love supporting our local businesses!! We enjoyed Rice Cakes, Juicy Dumplings, Stir Fried Beef w green onions, Yanghou Fried Rice, & My favorite Scallion Pie!! Great service! Cute interior!! read more

We found this new place on Yelp looking for a place for lunch. It's located in the old Pizza Hut location on the corner of the Bageloo Bagel Shop plaza. The store is super tiny and more of a Togo place then a dining in place. There's only about 3-4 total tables and definitely doesn't fit large parties. The owner was friendly and speaks both English and Mandarin. There is a free lemon ice tea check-in offer on yelp too! The menu is pretty small but focused dough items. The categories range from noodle/wontons, to dry noodles, bento boxes, steamed/pan fried dumplings, small plates and side dishes. They do have a few combo sets too with there dumplings/xlb paired with a drink. We tried: Spicy Beef Noodle Soup - The presentation was very clean and photogenic. The dish comes with thin sliced beef, with blanched bok choy, in a mild savory beef noodle soup. The noodles remind me of straight egg ramen noodles. They are not homemade but still cooked to ale dente. The soup itself has great flavor without being overly salty or over spicy. It's super mild for those afraid of spicy. It's NOT spicy for the really spicy eaters so you can add your own hot sauce. XLB: These come in the usual steam pot with 8 pieces per order. The XLB's themselves were super juicy inside as expected with well flavored pork filling. No they do not serve it with any sliced ginger so don't ask. Yes you dip it with the black vinegar you self service pour yourself that's on the table. Yes they are good and recommended. Peking Meat Pie: if you've ever had these in Taiwan or any asian restaurant you know what these are all about. These are thin pan fried pieces filled with ground meat. These were the perfect example of what a meat pie is suppose to taste like. The crispy is pan fried to a perfect crispy level, the meat filling and small chop scallions are perfectly seasoned without being bland. It brings you right back to the OG street vendors. Add on some hot sauce/soy and it's a party in your mouth. Pan Fried Pork & fennel pot stickers. These again were cooked and seasoned to perfection. They are the thin style served with a garlic soy dipping sauce. These are super juicy and flavorful with every bite. Takoyaki: This comes with 6 pieces per order. All i can say is this was the least favorite item. The takoyaki do have good size piece of squid inside. No they are not made from scratch fresh in store. These are 100% reheated so they were overcooked/too crispy on the outside. There was not enough takoyaki sauce to mayo ratio. All the right components but not a good execution. But not sure why they sell this item? Anyway a definitely skip item Overall a great hole in the wall family owned business that we will absolutely come back again to try again! The food quality and price is reasonable and the owner is very friendly. Not to mention you know its good when you see the elder aunties waiting for there to-go orders! No joke there's a line of aunties waiting! read more

One of our new favorite places to get dumplings. Food here is delicious and comes out quick. Prices are reasonable. We haven't had to wait to dine in here (seems like they usually just get constant to go orders). Kind of nice because we always have a nice and quiet dining experience. I looove how clean this restaurant is. Service is also always extremely quick and hospitable. Will definitely be bringing family here. read more

Food: - Cucumber Salad: 5/5 The cucumber salad is so refreshing and delicious, and pairs really well with the main dishes. Definitely helps to balance out the heaviness of the main course items! - Pork Potstickers: 4.5/5 These were really delicious! I just wish they were folded differently to make them even more pleasant to eat. - Spicy Wontons: 4/5 These were delicious and super juicy! They definitely did not skimp on the filling. The sauce was thicker than what I wasn't expecting, but tasted great. The sauce also wasn't as spicy as I would have liked. I wish they would put more chili oil on the dumplings. - Pork XLB: 5/5 The XLB are a must get. They taste delicious! The XLB are also larger than what you get at other places. Overall, I think this place has great food and is a good value for the price. They make their dishes differently than other Chinese places, so the items might not be what you expect, but they taste great! The service was friendly. Tips: - There aren't many tables in this place, as they are quite small, so I wouldn't recommend it for a large party. It's more of a takeout place. - Check in on Yelp for a free lemon iced tea! read more

An absolute hidden gem in Diamond Bar area! It should receive much more attention. We ordered three dishes: House Special Fried Noodles with beef, Juicy Pork Dumplings (aka Xiao Long Bao), and Pork & Cabbage Dumplings. They are excellent and delicious. The balance is so good. Dumplings, made by the chef himself, are juicy and tasty. You just can't stop eating them. We do appreciate their service. Always ready to serve, taking orders, refilling water, and packing for takeout, etc. If you want something traditional Asian, this is the place to go! 5-star!! read more

Dumpling was not bad, overall the selection of food choices were flavorful and priced reasonably.

The beef roll was really good. It had a slight sweetness from the hoisin sauce. The roll was loaded with meat and scallions. The skin was flaky and slightly chewy. Bonus: it was freshly made so the meat was not fridge cold like other places. The original beef noodle was stacked with meat. The soup was too salty so I let the staff know and then they kindly offered me a bowl of hot chicken soup. They also sell frozen dumplings packed into a bag with ice for anyone wanting to take it home! read more
