We got the shengjianbao, pork xiaolongbao, chili oil wontons, cucumbers and Taiwanese cabbage. The service was nice and very attentive. It was very clean and air conditioned. However I'm there for the food. The shengjianbao had a nice sesame crust at the bottom and the xiaolongbao had thin skin-- but that's all. The filling for all the dumplings we had were very average. I usually just do fine with just black vinegar and some chili oil only but since it was a little bland, adding soy sauce added flavor to save it. It was not offensive, just not that flavorful. Price was also more expensive than other places. I hope they do well, it's just not for me. read more

Yummmm...adding this place to my go-to dumpling spots whenever I'm in the area! It's not often I stumble upon a place that offers beef dumplings, and these were delicious and juicy. Even better, they're kid-friendly and little-kid approved--my girls can devour an entire order on their own! The dumpling skin was just right--not too thick and not too thin--with the perfect amount of juice inside. There's nothing more disappointing than having the skin break and watching all that delicious juice escape, so I was very happy these held together perfectly! The service was friendly and attentive, with the staff checking on us throughout our meal. It almost had the service of an upscale restaurant, paired with a clean, modern décor, while still feeling comfortable and welcoming for families with kids. Great dumplings, great service, and kid-friendly. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to whenever we're in the area! read more

No photos When I heard prince dumpling (one of my favorite dumpling spots) was opening a "sister" restaurant nearby, I got super excited. I can confirm, it is bussin out the seams. Food is incredible and the staff is friendly and attentive. The pork XLB is my favorite and I like to flush it down the a dessert bao as well. Already been here 4-6 times since it opened a few months ago, and plan on going more. I sincerely hope this place doesn't plateau or fall off in terms of quality. read more

Really good dtf dupe!! Everything was delicious and the service was good. I also enjoyed the spicy wontons although they weren't that close of a dupe for dtf, it had its own good flavor read more

Found this almost by accident and came by for some Xiao long bao. Happy we came in. Everything was fresh and delicious. Xiao long bao - yum. Shrimp friend rice, easily shareable for 2-3 people depending how much rice you want to eat. Got the garlic green beans, does not skimp on garlic flavor. Spicy wontons, much larger in size comparison to another famous dumpling place. Slightly different flavor profile and leans more spicy side. Passionfruit and strawberry lychee green teas are refreshing and not overly sweet. Would highly recommend coming in if you're in the area. And service was friendly, will be back for sure! read more

We used to live in the Temple City area, and Prince Dumpling was one of our favorite restaurants in the Rosemead area. When we saw that Princess Dumpling moved into the Rowland Heights, we knew we had to make a visit soon. We finally went with the family and we were so happy to see so many familiar dishes! The interior of the restaurant was very similar to the one in Rosemead-clean, modern, bright. After being seated, we just ordered our favorites: XLBs, green beans, scallion pancake, beef roll, beef noodle soup. We then decided to order another dish: the sweet and sour pork ribs. Now everything was great and familiar, but the star of the meal was the pork ribs- holy smokes they were super tender, literally falling off the bone and the sweet and sour sauce was well balanced. We all had one and even considered ordering another but truly, we already had too much food. Our server spoke both Canto and Mandarin, which was so nice for the elderly folks in our party. He was very nice and attentive, and even gave us a complimentary dessert which we devoured! We will surely be back as we have loved this restaurant. It's on par, if not better, than DTF in our opinion! read more

I was excited to see that Princess Dumpling was serving Shanghai Sweet and Sour Ribs, but this dish was a huge disappointment. It was far from the original dish. The pork was very fatty, with very little meat, and covered in a red, overly sweet sauce that lacked flavor. The Chicken Xiang Long Bao and Chicken & Pork Dumplings were decent, but again, they were missing seasoning and flavor. The Scallion Pancake was extremely dry and overly crunchy, which made it difficult to enjoy. The Pork Cutlet & Egg Fried Rice was one of the better dishes. The pork was tender, and the batter was light and crunchy. However, it was still missing seasoning. The fried rice was not greasy, but unfortunately, it was dry and hard, making it difficult to swallow. The Dan Dan Noodles with Pork were also disappointing. The noodles were very dry and hard to chew, while the sauce lacked seasoning and flavor. Overall, the food was far from authentic Taiwanese or Shanghainese cuisine. It seems to be more tailored to American tastes. The service was decent, but unfortunately, the food did not live up to expectations. There are much better choices if you're looking for authentic Taiwanese or Shanghainese food and flavors. read more

I was happy to see that Prince Dumpling opened a sister restaurant in Rowland Heights and paid a visit on a Saturday for lunch. We were seated right away and ordered the potstickers and beef noodle soup. I should've known it would take awhile given that most of the tables around us hadn't gotten their food yet, but it ended up taking 38 minutes for my beef noodle soup to arrive. My mom was done eating her potstickers before my food had even arrived. She said the potstickers were quite oily. The long wait time would have been excusable if the food was good, but I was severely underwhelmed by the beef noodle soup. The beef pieces weren't super tender and felt like they weren't braised long enough, the soup didn't have that rich flavor I was looking for and was slightly sweet, and the noodles tasted like something I could have bought at the grocery store and cooked at home myself. Having been to Prince at least twice, I can say this location is definitely not as good. Overall, it felt understaffed and food was mediocre at best; safe to say I don't think I would return. read more

Princess Dumpling - Beef noodle soup - Shanghainese Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

Very delicious and attentive service. We loved the beef noodles, garlic bok choy, and wontons

i saw this new place in the area on yelp and wanted to give it a try. the inside of the restaurant is very clean and spacious. my friend and i were able to get seated immediately. our server was very knowledgeable about the menu. i informed her of my peanut allergy and she was confident in all her answers. unfortunately we couldn't try the pan fried dumplings since they sold out but we will come back to try them next time. the food portions were very generous and everything tasted made to order. prices are fair as well and i would definitely come back to try more items on the menu. read more

So this is an interesting review for me. I tried this place with my wife and kids and my wife and I have different conclusions on all the dishes we tried. I think it's a spot we would visit again to try other dishes, and I think it does what it sets out to well. That said, they make choices with their food that agreed or disagreed with our preferences at different points. Before we get to the food, the restaurant is clean and the ambiance is what you would expect for the area. The main server went out of his way to be friendly and helpful and checked in on us several times, great job by him. On to the food. Kurobuta XLB - First controversial dish. If I had to pick one word for this XLB, I would say clean. I don't think this one goes out of it's way to be special, it has a clean flavor and good texture. The wrappers I felt were slightly thicker than Ding Tai Fung, but in a good way for me. I felt there was just enough chew to be satisfying, while letting the other ingredients do their part. The meat was soft and juicy, so no issues for me there. The soup is where it becomes a preference thing for me at least. When we poked a hole in the dumpling, a good amount of juice came out, but it was clean, almost clear. There was almost no oil floating on top, no fat in the soup. I can see how people would prefer this clean taste, I prefer the richness of the fat in my xlb and maybe a twist of some sort. This tastes healthier and is not a cheap option in the area, so it's not the highest price to value pick for me. I want to emphasize this is done well, just not necessarily to my preference. This would be for people who prefer Pine and Crane to the Taiwanese hole in the wall at the supermarket. Niu Rou Mian - Second controversial dish. On first taste, my wife thought this was one of the best niu rou mian's she's ever had, though I didn't necessarily agree. Two things stand out about this dish for me. First, their sliced beef is EXCELLENT, at least in the bowl we got. It was really good cut of meat, most, flavorful, soft enough to melt in your mouth while holding enough texture to be satisfying. One of the best, if not the best, sliced beef I can remember. The soup was also special in its texture. Most niu rou mian has a more standard, clear broth. This is almost like a western soup in that it's murky and has some viscosity to it. Very intense flavor. The noodles were also solid, no complaints from me. That said, that intense flavor from the soup was very straightforward. Strong, salty beef broth with very little of the herbs and spices that give other niu rou mian their signature accents. This, like the XLB, is a well prepared dish, but the taste lacks the complexity that makes it fun for me. Shanghai Braised Pork Belly - The kids and I enjoyed it, my wife was looking for Dong Pou Rou so wasn't too enthused. Like the other items, this is a well done dish. Fatty pork belly braised with what is essentially the flavor of char siu sauce. The pork itself had a great texture. The lean parts were moist, the fatty parts were soft and melty, no complaints there. Like the other dishes, a straightforward taste profile, if you've had char siu, you know what the basic flavor is. My kids loved it though and it's good for what it is. Chocolate XLB - We had an order of chocolate XLB for dessert and the kids and I enjoyed it. Basically, this rich chocolate filling in the same XLB wrappers we've seen before. For me, this type of dessert reminds me of chocolate filled mochi, but I actually enjoy these more. The texture of the wrapper has some of the satisfying chew of the mochi without being too much the way I feel some mochis are. All in all, I do think the people who run the kitchen in this place are talented and skilled, and they're accomplishing the goals they're setitng out to do. The food is clean, straightforward, and well executed. We'll probably be back to try some of their rice cakes and beef pancakes just to see. For my family, this isn't a place we plan on going to regularly since we have places that fit our preferences better for a lower price, but I can see how people can really appreciate this food. Good new option in the area. read more

Came here during soft opening. Food and service are pretty good, will come back with family again.. They have a 75 inch TV in the middle of the room playing sports channels, which is nice for me because I enjoy watching sports while eating. read more

Today was my boyfriend's and my first visit to Princess Dumpling. They're the sister restaurant to Prince Dumpling, which I've been to before and both are great! The restaurant has a clean, modern, and spacious interior. Our server, Jimmy was friendly and attentive, and he let us know they're currently in their soft opening phase. We ordered the pork & crab xiao long bao, beef wrap rolls, fried pan pork buns, scallion noodles and the black sesame xiao long bao for dessert. The pork & crab xiao long bao was one of my favorites it was filled with lots of flavorful soup. The scallion noodles were also tasty with a nice savory flavor, although I thought they were a little pricey for a simple noodle dish with scallions. The beef wrap rolls had a great crispy texture and were filled with beef, cucumber, and green onion. It had a lot of good flavor to it. We also wanted to try the giant soup dumpling, but we arrived too late and they had already sold out for the day. We'll definitely be back earlier next time to give it a try! Overall, we had a great first experience and look forward to coming back. read more

The food was very flavorful! Very similar to Din Tai Fung dishes but without the long wait and the higher prices. Jimmy was our waiter and he was super helpful. He gave us good recommendations regarding our order, specifically the bok choy over the green beans, and he did not disappoint! We also ordered the xiao long bao (of course) and the spicy wontons, and they were both delicious. For dessert we tried the black sesame xiao long bao and that was pretty great, also a Jimmy recommendation! The restaurant itself was very clean and looked inviting and comfortable. Service was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. We will absolutely be returning to Princess Dumpling in the future! read more

I saw all the great reviews on Yelp and was excited to check this place out today. Unfortunately, when I got there, I was told they aren't officially opening until next week. What's confusing is that there's no mention of that on Yelp or on the front door. If they aren't open yet, where did all these reviews come from? It was a pretty disappointing experience after making the trip. read more

A new Princess Dim Sum restaurant just opened in Rowland Heights, and it truly brings the taste of Shanghai! As someone who loves Din Tai Fung, I can honestly say this place is comparable. The soup dumplings were juicy and flavorful, the beef pancake was crispy and delicious, and the hot and sour soup tasted authentic. They're still in their soft opening, so a few dishes aren't available yet. I'll definitely be back once they're officially open to try more of the menu. Looking forward to coming back! read more
