I went into a coffee shop next door and noticed this place advertised their homemade dumplings. So I got curious and stopped in to ask if they package their noodles and dumplings separately since I had a long drive home to the OC. A lady that was seated at a table making dumplings, greeted me as I walked in. (Greeted in the Korean harsh way of - what do you want! But friendlier) she said they did package the noodles separately from the broth. I never understood why some restaurants don't do that! It overcooks the noodles by the time you get home. I decided to order a couple of soups! The beef kalguksu and the beef mandu soup. The wontons in the soup were very full - nicely filled with meat. The flavor of the kalguksu was also good although I wished the noodles were a little more al dente. That's prob from getting overcooked from the long drive home in its own steam. I would come here again if in the area. The restaurant itself is smaller inside and there were plenty of people inside enjoying their food. A lot of small tables side by side. The man that also worked there was very accommodating and kind. No wonder they have good business! read more

Just tried this place because my friend was craving sujebi, and I really enjoyed it. I had the duk and mandoo gook, which you can choose whether your mandoo is meat or kimchi mandoo or a combo of both. First time I was asked what type of mandoo I wanted in my soup, which was really nice. My Husband had the pumpkin sujebi, which was really light and tasty. We also shared a combo steamed mandoo appetizer, and the vegetable mandoo was so good! I really enjoyed the food. Everything felt like home cooking/ your grandmother's cooking. I felt like I was eating at home, and I would definitely go back if I am craving sujebi or duk and mandoo gook. read more

The Ahjumma sitting at the table with the plastic shields making dumplings is sooo endearing. A true small mom and pop feeling place that has very relaxed vibes. We got: Steamed dumplings (combo) - kimchi and chive were the favorites. Beef is kind of whatevs Kalguksu with mushroom and perilla - super yummy and delicious. The broth was so comforting Spicy pan fried squid rice- the squid is so well cooked and delicious. It also came with a cabbage salad with a seemingly thousand island type dressing but the dressing definitely tastes homemade and was a surprising delight. It felt like there was fresh fruit (maybe apples?) blended into it. A very homey feeling restaurant that I'd love to return to :) read more

If you want to taste authentic Korean-style dumplings, I highly recommend this place. As soon as you walk in, you can see the owner handcrafting each dumpling herself. That's how fresh and tender they are, and the taste is reminiscent of homemade dumplings just like mom used to make. It definitely feels like no artificial flavoring is used, so the taste is mild and not overly seasoned. If you're craving traditional Korean-style dumpling soup or kalguksu (hand-cut noodle soup), give this place a try! read more

Ordered the dumpling soup (mixed dumpling) with rice cake. Came with radish, kimchi, and pickled bean sprouts plus a small cup of barley tea (cold) Everything was tasty but I must say that the service was quite suspicious. I should point out first, that I've ordered delivery from here quite a few times.. First thing that got my attention on their Yelp reviews is the great service and how sweet the servers are. It was cold and rainy so I thought what a great day to pop in and eat at the restaurant.. I didn't receive any of the service everybody was glowing about.. Actually, One of the ladies seemed to go out of her way NOT to serve me; while giving all the groups around me top tier service!! She even went as far as coming directly towards me- I smile and wave her down and ask for napkins (she's looking directly at me) and she turns to pack up to go orders!. I tried to overlook it and just enjoy my food but Sisters Dumpling is a rather small restaurant and she was pretty blatant! The craziest thing was the older lady handed her my check; she started walking towards me then turned back around and hands it back to her.. Note: There wasn't a language barrier because I heard her communicate effectively with another table. I don't know? Sad that stuff like this is still going on in this world! read more

This place is an authentic Korean-style dumplings...yes there are plenty of places both in LA and OC but this just makes me keep eating it til it all gone. And of course, what better way than a hot kimchi soup to wash it down with. Just simply delish. The place is small and clustered but well organized and cleanliness. The parking lot is small so plan accordingly. The service felt like being at home and being taken care of. I don't speak nor being a Korean (still Asian) but they treat you very kindly and very helpful. Yup, definitely coming back again for sure. read more

Food was good! The ladies were super nice. Service was quick! Soybean noodle didn't taste like I used to have back in Korea. It is just different style ?? Cuz the taste was good. I'd like to come again to try other menu tho. The customers were mostly mid aged Korean. Not too loud. No music. I went there on weekdays for lunch! Parking is easy.

Food: this review is long overdue since I have been coming here for a while. This is my mom's favorite place, and she orders one thing - red bean porridge. She says there's no other place in socal that makes the dish as well as they do. Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of red bean, so I always end up ordering something else like kalgooksu or sujebi, which are decent but not mind-blowing amazing . But for the sake of my lovely mother, this place deserves 5 stars Price: most dishes range $17-20, which I think are pretty average for ktown food nowadays Ambiance: decent sized restaurant with about 10 ish tables inside, I don't think I've seen any non koreans sitting inside every time I came here. Inside is clean and brightly lit with lots of sunlight, vibe is mostly for quick meals with family or casual friends Service: the korean ladies making food and serving are nice, mostly speak exclusively korean, never had issues making my order and getting my dishes Parking: there's a free parking lot in the front associated with the strip mall, where the restaurant is located, there's usually an available spot, not too busy read more

What a cute and wholesome spot! This place is ran and dishes are legitimately made by two sisters lol I was famished after running errands all day. This spot happened to be the closest to me (with parking mind you lol) I tried their Seafood Kalguksu (knife cut noodles/pasta) and the broth was so flavorful. I feel like I got a taste of Korea's entire delicious sea! Lol I think Kalguksu is too hearty for me. I'd def ask to sub for Buckwheat noodles next time. I was so stuffed, I couldn't finish the pasta. But I did eat all the seafood and veggies. Soup was great too! Def give this spot a try if you are near by or feeling adventuring out. Service was so nice and prompt! read more

This savory dumpling shop is unique, and I rank it as high as any of my favorite Chinese dumpling restaurants such as Luscious Dumplings and Ding Tai Feng. The Sisters (or lady friends) are busy making fresh dumplings almost continuously. In addition to all of their dumplings, they have some excellent dishes such as: chilled buckwheat noodles with vegetables, fermented soy bean (stinky tofu) soup, kalguksu with mushroom and perilla, and many other wonderful dishes. read more

I was on a hunt for Korean kalguksu and stumbled on this little gem! Bonus points for free and plenty parking. They are located in a plaza. I know they are known for their dumplings - even saw an employee hand making them while I was eating there - but I was cold and wanted noodles! Their chicken kalguksu was pretty good. Tasty broth and chewy knife cut noodles. They also gave radish, fish cake, and kimchi as their sides. An employee said the spicy paste was for the soup but I opted against using it. I did find the broth to be more on the bland side in comparison to other kalguksus I've had but still a solid place! read more

Comforting, traditional Korean food - every dish is freshly made and so delicious. It's a small restaurant run by two of the sweetest ladies! They prepare each dish with care and it'll be my go-to restaurant when I want Korean soul food. The soybean (seasonal) cold noodle soup was delicious - the nuttiness of the soup broth and noodles was perfectioooon. The pumpkin sujebi soup with handtorn noodles was comforting and filling - love the texture of the sujebi and warming and flavorful broth. Portions are quite generous and filling! Parking lot too read more

Let me say this in summary: Best. Dumplings. Ever. They are a small mom and pop shop located in the heart of ktown. They serve beautifully handmade and crafted dumplings that you can also buy frozen. The dumplings come with beef & chives and they are so delightful. The owners were so incredibly nice and friendly and did a wonderful job accommodating our large group. You actually can't go wrong with anything on the menu but I highly recommend getting some steamed or fried dumplings to share and the rice cake soup with kimchi dumplings!!! Can't wait to come back! read more

This is a once in a lifetime restaurant. The kind of place that instantly makes you feel like you're in someone's home being cared for with love. This is the real deal. The service is kind, caring, loving, patient, expedient, and always comes with the most warm smiles. I feel like I am with family here. The service is truly a 10/10. The food. Oh god the food. It's IMMACULATE. That may come across as an over exaggeration, but that is completely your loss if you don't believe me. Every item on the menu is unique and delicious. The food is 20/10. It's unfair to even give it a number. It's just too good. The kimchi is unlimited. Need I say more? I cannot recommend this enough. It's perfect. read more

A mom and pop restaurant with homey food. Prices are fair for the portions. Kalguksu with seafood was good. I was pleasantly surprised that the squid pieces in the soup were really tender. Comes with an onion dipping sauce that I really liked. Steamed dumpling plate combo came with 4 types of dumplings (10 pieces total). I enjoyed them but wasn't blown away by any particular flavor. Ate them with the onion sauce from the kalguksu. +The kimchi here is so good! +Parking lot has lots of spaces and is free. read more

The dumplings are really great. I had the combo dumpling soup, which contains a mixture of both beef and kimchi dumplings. Both are excellent so it was nice to have some of each. The broth was very hot and perfect for a cold day. The banchan are simple--just cucumber, "regular" kimchi, and kkakdugi. They check vaccination records at the door and left the door wide open, presumably for air circulation purposes. Good thing I had the soup to keep warm! The price was reasonable and portion size is respectable. Location is a bit off the main drag in Koreatown, but there was plenty of parking in the lot outside. read more

This place is always filled with older Koreans everytime I stop by. I usually just come here to pick up a bag of their in-house made kimchi dumplings (which are 5 out of 5)! But this was my first time dining in and trying their food. We ordered the bean curd with kimchee soup and the sujuebi with kimchi. The bean curd with kimchee soup was delicious and hit the spot, but the sujuebi with kimchi (it's huge by the way) was a bit sour. I think the kimchi they used for the soup might have been on the sour side...it wasn't for me. Not sure if it was a one off or that's just how it normally tastes there. Otherwise, the service was good, but the banchan was fairly minimal. If all you need is some kimchi with your sujuebi or kalkooksoo then you're solid. Gave this place a 4 out of 5 because the bean curd soup was good, the frozen kimchi dumplings you can pick up are really good, and they have friendly service. read more

Good price. Good flavor. Good service. Came in for lunch on a Tuesday. Sat at a table with no wait. Dumplings came out promptly. Beef steamed dumplings and kimchi dumpling soup were tasty. Would like to try the fried and the chive dumplings next time. Not upscale but great for a quick bite. read more

A hidden gem! Just wow. The restaurant itself wasn't busy when I stopped by mid-week to order take-out for lunch, but the staff was busy making those yummy Dumplings from scratch. Very cool to see them create those perfectly shaped stuffed crescents. I ordered the dumpling and rice cake soup with kimchi as my choice, and wow, just wow. The broth was flavorful but not salty, the rice cakes were just the right amount of chewy, and the dumplings provided the bombs of extra flavor to the soup and each bite. I always feel a little odd leaving reviews for other cultures' cuisines, because I don't really know if this soup would remind you of home, but I do love good food and this was delicious. read more

When you walk into a place and everyone is Korean, buckle up. This place is good. The sides were on point. Refilled without me asking. The combo dumplings gave me a chance to taste all they had to offer. I personally liked their beef and chive the best. I got the anchovy noodle soup. I wish I could taste the anchovy but my tongue lost the ability to taste after I crushed a plate of kimchi. Next time, I'm gonna wait for the noodles to come out before searing my tongue with spicy pickles cabbage. Overall, I'll be back. Nice waitresses that speak broken English but patient and kind. Now off to the spa next door to steam it up and take a nap. read more

Sisters Dumpling - Anchovy noodle and combo boiled dumplings (eaten) - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Ordered takeout over the phone and everything was ready in about 10 minutes. There was plenty of free parking and pickup was seamless (and covid-conscious). We got the rice cake combo mandu (both beef and kimchi) soup and kimchi jjigae. It comes with rice and two banchan - fresh cabbage kimchi and radish kimchi. My total came out to ~$28. The rice cake mandu soup was a homey meat broth with 5 large mandu (2 kimchi and 3 beef) and a very generous amount of rice cakes. I usually like having rice cakes in this dish, but with this one I would've preferred less of it for more mandu. Both beef and kimchi mandu were packed with filling and very tasty. I will definitely be back for their frozen dumplings (refer to pics for pricing). Kimchi jjigae was super flavorful and contained white mushrooms, tofu, and slices of pork belly. Very satisfying! Both kimchi banchan were great as well, especially paired with the mandu soup. I had a positive experience here from both a quality of food and service perspective. Portion sizes are generous and cost is quite reasonable. I would recommend giving this place a shot! read more

My staff and I went to Sisters for a staff lunch today and it was fantastic. I did dock a star because the place smelled like a wet rag as soon as we walked in and it lingered for a few minutes so it left a bad first impression. I assume that tables were cleaned prior to our arrival so perhaps the smell of the cleaning rags lingered because of that. Onto the food, we ordered the fried dumplings assortment and they were delicious. We also ordered the sujebi with pumpkin and it was very hearty and filling, I especially loved the dough pieces. We also ordered the marinated pork and cold vegetable noodles and both were equally delicious. I would definitely return especially being that they are family owned. read more

I've been coming to this restaurant for years now. The food is delicious but the women who own/work here are extremely rude. They really need a lesson on how to treat repeating customers. At least smile and greet your clients. There are so many other traditional Korean restaurants that have fabulous food and service. DO BETTER SISTER DUMPLINGS! TREAT NON KOREANS WITH RESPECT TOO! Some of our other favorites are Surawon tofu house, Hangari Kalguksu, soban, parks, etc. I guarantee you'll get great service at these restaurants! read more

Where do I start.... My mom and I came here for lunch. It was our first time here. Found this place on yelp and the reviews and the pictures seemed ok and it was close to where we were at.

They were still just talking with each other! Wow!! We should of just walked out but we just stayed. They only had one table with customer. The food visual looks good but the taste itself NO GOOD!
