    Vegetable and Kurobuta Pork Spicy Wontons
    Sylvia C.

    If you are craving dumplings yet don't want to stand in an hr long line or pay a steeper cost while at it, this place gives you the fix. Took our dad here for his birthday and everyone loved it. Prime time weekend, i will say the lines can still be long here but 1hr vs 2-3hrs at dung tai fung. Food may not be as fancy Michelin or ambiance but it definitely hits the spot. Price isn't cheap but still a bit cheaper. Overall a very good alternative but there are also still many good places if you don't care for the crazy ambiance or presentations at mom and pops spots. This is if your trying to compare with Ding tai fung, its kicked down a notch or so. Generally, better than the mom & pops yet toned down from the famous one. My least favorite is the cucumber salad and the stir fried noodles as the flavors were lacking. Everything else were good.

    Great Chinese cuisine! Upon entering, the restaurant is like any other Chinese restaurant establishment. It's loaded with a bunch of large tables meant for seating families/ large groups. The service was great, we were seated and served relatively quickly. The staff came by frequently to check up on us and refill our refreshments. We got a lot of food including noodles with sesame sauce, shrimp fried rice, spicy wontons, garlic green beans, walnut shrimp, cucumber salad, beef rolls, hot and sour soup, xiao long bao, and popcorn chicken. ALL of the dishes were fantastic! The highlight for me, in particular, were the noodles with sesame sauce. When mixed, the noodles were creamy and packed with flavor without being too heavy. Overall, highly recommend to anyone in the area looking to have some great Chinese cuisine!

    Checked out prince dumpling and it did not disappoint. When we arrived there was not many people so we got sat pretty quick. They provide a sheet of paper for your selections. Food comes out quick and they make sure to clean plates quickly. Shrimp and pork wontons were very good and saucy, but not spicy. Crab and pork xiao long bao was good. Noodles with sesame sauce and sweet and sour baby back ribs are more on the sweater side. The chocolate xia long bao is a must. When we left there was already a waiting line. Since the location is medium size it does get pretty loud in there. Overall I definitely recommend.

    What in the PANDA EXPRESS is the CARROTS and PEAS in the fried rice??? Their shrimp was also 100% placed in a solution before and thus lacked flavor while having that characteristic unnatural bounce to them. This is absolutely unacceptable for a place that is trying to reach "Din Tai Fung competitor" status, even if the price is lower and the portions larger. That being said, their dumplings were very juicy and flavorful without being too porky, although the skins are a little thicker. Their take on beef noodle soup is solid but lacked any real uniqueness -- as a Taiwanese person, I feel like every rendition should have its own secret part to it.

    Food - yummy Service - good as ever Ambiance - clean and average to loud noise level Garlic chicken wings - very tasty. Personally, I wanted some chili powder for a good kick. Green beans - simply sautéed but still yummy Xiao long bao - idk what has changed but half of my bao almost didn't have that soup pocket Sheng jianbao - very good. still one of the best places Noodle & chicken - it was ok for me. my toddlers ate it. I think i'd need to add some chili sauce. it's me. Fish maw soup - pretty good. Appreciated the staff brought out white pepper and red vinegar. I remember among the first time we ordered, I had to ask for the red vinegar and the staff had no idea.

    It was my 3rd visit to the restaurant so I think I have a better idea of the food they serve. First of all, the restaurant is really spacious and nicely decorated. You don't see tables being right next to each other. As for food, it reminds me of DTF. Here's what I ordered in this recent visit: crab xlb, chicken rice cake, spicy shrimp and pork dumpling, broccoli and egg with dried scallion fried rice. The GOOD: crab xlb, fried rice. The xlb is juicy. The skin is just right and you can taste the crab in it. The fried rice is nicely seasoned and a good portion too. The broccoli is fried with garlic so it is what it is. The NOT SO GOOD: garlic broccoli, stir fried rice cake. It's not that the food is bad but it's on the salty side. Otherwise, it's not bad. The service there is good. The meal costs close to $100 so it's on the expensive side. I think if I want DTF but doesn't want the wait, this may be an option... except the cost is similar to DTF without the quality taste

    3.5 stars Arrived a 530 on a Friday evening. place had 3 other parties. They asked me if I had reservations which I didnt but nice to know that they take it. Pan fried pork buns - pan fried with sesame seeds on the bottom. Pretty decent but I prefer the style of bread and flavor from min min pie house and auntie Qiu kitchen more. Kurobuta Xiao long baos - 4 stars. skin is really thin. filled with LOTs of soup. slightly on the sweeter side when compared with din tai fund dumplings. stir fried baby bok choy - 2-3 stars. these were not baby boy choy, it seemed more like the standard size. It was overcooked so had no crispiness to it. Would have been better if not overcooked. stir fried Taiwanese carrots- 2 stars. Similar to the bok choy this was also very overcooked. pork, chives, shrimp dumplings (boiled) - 3 stars. couldn't taste any shrimp in this. It was a regular dumpling. chicken fried rice - 3 stars. - square chunks of chicken and carrots and peas fried rice. basic nothing special. Prefer the Service was nice. They spoke English and cantonese. Overall I would not go out of my way but it's a decent place to get a Xiao long bao fix. it was the best thing we had.

    If you only get one thing here you have to try the pork and chive pan fried dumplings! I don't know how they made the skirt like that but it was sooooo crispy and the dumpling was very juicy. This place is a literally ding tai fung dupe but might I say better??? At a fraction of the cost, I was able to try so many delicious dishes. I wanted to order more but the portions were big we ended up with leftovers! Honestly, the only thing I would pass on next time would be the chocolate xlb. They chocolate was not melty and was a little more solid than what I'd normally prefer. There's plenty of seating so there was no wait on a Saturday afternoon and plenty of parking out front. Nice, clean aesthetic in the restaurant. Service was fast and we were stuffed! I'll def be back!

    Sticky Rice Siu Mai
    Alex J.

    Overall, I really enjoyed the food here but the service is what made me knock down my review from 4 to a solid 3 stars. Up until now my only "dim sum" experience has been Din Tai Fung which genuinely is a fantastic establishment where both service and food is exceptional albeit the food being a tad over priced here and there. Our first waitress was super sweet but when she left (either in break or end of shift) the next 2-3 wait staff weren't the best. Where at other restaurants of any type of cuisine, when a new dish is brought to the table, the waiter would make an attempt to rearrange the plates to make the new one fit. Of course, myself and my party always offer our help. But here? 2 of the waiters made absolutely no effort to move any plates or even ask us for help and just stood by our table until we did something. Later a waiter wouldn't acknowledge us when we asked for to-go containers, napkins, etc. Anyway now for the food. Cucumber salad - decent. Cucumbers were crunchy but the sauce was more oily and less flavorful than DTF. Scallop and egg fried rice - this was fantastic. Well cooked rice and great flavor with plenty of filling Rice cakes with shrimp - oh I loved these so much more than DTF. The sauce was rich and flavorful, the shrimp was soft and bouncy and the rice cakes were toasted well Scallion pancake - so thin and crispy but full of flavor Pan fried dumplings - the dumplings were so soft and juicy while the crispy layer had SO much flavor Spicy wontons - I love the DTF version so much and th sauce is way better there BUT the filling here at Prince was the star. Xiao Long Bao - delicious, full of soup, and the filling meat was a good portion and so juicy Siu Mai - a tad undercooked but packed with filling that tasted so good So overall, the food was amazing but the service really took a hit. Nothing bad enough to make me stay away and I will definitely return

    Noodles with Diced Beef and Szechuan Peppers
    Gerald S.

    The food was amazing, such delicious flavors and a vast variety of traditional chinese dishes to choose from. I would recommend every item , as it's made perfectly well. The service was excellent, they were very speedy with our orders and needs. The food came out fast and we ordered alot, which is always a plus! The ambiance is very cozy and nice. Definitely a great sit down spot, just avoid very busy hours as it can get pretty loud, but it's honestly worth a try if you're ever in the area and craving chinese food!

    Are you in the mood for some dumplings? If so, this is the place for you. A dumpling lover's dream. The menu is stacked with options--from classic pork to creative veggie and bold fusion fillings, so everyone finds a favorite. Everything comes out fresh, flavorful, and perfectly wrapped, with just the right balance of chewy and juicy. Quick service, big variety, zero regrets. We ordered so many dishes, and all were delicious. However, they did run out of tai tea early. I'd come back for more.

    If you want an alternative to Din Tai Fung and not wait an hour for a table, Prince Dumpling is a great spot to enjoy some delicious dumplings. Located in a shopping plaza on Valley Blvd, it offers a casual but comfortable vibe. As you walk into the restaurant, you will notice a glass encased kitchen where you can watch chefs making dumplings by hand. The menu is extensive with a variety of items to choose from that is more wallet friendly than Din Tai Fung.

    Sweet and Sour Baby Back Ribs
    Nancy H.

    A nice casual spot for Chinese comfort food! The restaurant is well-lit and laid-back. The service was impressively fast and friendly. We started with the sweet and sour baby back ribs, and they were fall-off-the-bone tender with a sticky sauce that clung right to the meat. The chive and pork fried dumplings were good, but I kind of wanted a bit more seasoning to bring out more flavor. The shrimp and kurobuta pork spicy wontons weren't spicy at all, so I would pass on this. The real winner for us was the noodles with diced beef and Szechuan peppers. It was well-seasoned and delicious with that kick from the peppers. However, the vegetables on the side were basically raw, so they didn't match the rest of the great seasoning going on in the dish. One big con: the AC blasts full force inside, so our food got cold super fast while we were eating. Definitely something to keep in mind, but overall, great flavors, generous portions, and speedy service make this a solid stop for noodle and dumpling lovers!!

    Here's a revised 3/5 version that blends both reviews and tones it a bit more balanced:…read more Updated Review - 3/5 Bistro 1968 offers a modern take on classic dim sum, but after a couple visits, the experience feels a bit mixed. I recently came back to try their updated $4.88 per dish pricing, and previously visited for their AYCE option ($25.88). Across both visits, most of the dim sum items have stayed consistent in quality, which is a plus. Favorites still include the House Special Crispy Shrimp Roll and the Baked Snow Cap BBQ Pork Bun--both are standout dishes and worth ordering. That said, a few things have slipped. The removal of chili oil was disappointing, and some items (like the XO sauce) still lack depth in flavor. While the food is solid overall, it doesn't quite stand out compared to other dim sum spots at a similar price point. Service has been good each time, especially considering how busy it gets on weekends. The space itself is clean and leans toward a modern, upscale Chinese restaurant vibe, which makes it a comfortable spot for brunch. On the downside, food can take a while to come out, and parking remains a headache--the garage is small and street parking is limited, especially during peak hours. Overall, Bistro 1968 is a decent option for dim sum in a modern setting, but with a few inconsistencies and small letdowns, it lands more in the middle rather than being a standout.

I heard about their AYCE dim sum promo but that actually made me not want to come because I knew the wait would've been very long, and I hate waiting for a table just to eat. Fast forward to tonight and a suggestion was made to try the $14.88 dinner special at Bistro 1968. Here's my honest review of my experience. * Parking - Self parking behind the restaurant. I came on a Monday night dinner time , and there was only 2 cars in the entire lot. The parking lot was very creepy as it was't too well lit. I could see the kitchen from the structure because the backdoor was left opened. There were boxes and junk littered around the area. * You have to walk through a long hallway from the parking lot to get to the restaurant. There are signs to guide you, but if you're going there for the first time, it could be a bit confusing. * We got there at 7pm and there was only 1 table of customers. I honestly don't know how to describe the decor because it depends on which part of restaurant you're looking at. * Staff were all VERY nice. They gave us free dessert (Egg Tarts and Pineapple Buns) so that was awesome. * Food - I ordered the Fried Fish but it wasn't fully cooked. Some parts were still raw so it had a fishy taste. We ate a few pieces but left most of it untouched. Everything else was pretty much okay except for its temperature - it was lukewarm. Nothing was piping hot except for the steamed Pork Spareribs from their all day dim sum menu. * There were some small gnats that kept flying around and when one actually landed in my food, I just stopped eating altogether. * No alcohol available but definitely not a huge deal. Their staff are so nice that I actually feel bad about not writing a positive review about the establishment, but I really just don't see how I am able to rate it any higher than 2 stars. I don't think I will be coming back.

Also, my partner really enjoyed the congee. I didn't try it though. Areas that can be improved: -the lotus sticky rice was a little lacking in flavor and meat. -the Cheung fun although had generous amounts of shrimp, it lacked bounce in the rice noodle.
