Beef roll
Carolyn F.

Agree with the previous reviewers postings that this is a restaurant for fresh dumplings with helpful and friendly service in a clean and casual setting. Our group of six shared a variety of flavorful dishes and juicy dumplings.

They still have the BOGO Pork Xiao Long Bao promotion as of March 2026. We had visitors over, and they also liked to try Xiao Long Bao, so we took them to our neighborhood XLB place. We ordered the following items: - Cucumber with Garlic as an appetizer -2 orders Pork Xiao Long Bao (9 pcs) BOGO (total 4 orders because 2 orders were free) - Chinese Braised Pork Belly -Pan Fried Chive & Pork Dumplings -Pan Fried Shrimp & Pork Dumplings (12 pcs) -Beef Roll Pancake -Beef Stew Noodle Soup -Chocolate Lava XLB Our party had 8 people. The servers were friendly, and the service was attentive. We were served the complimentary peanuts when we were seated, and then the orders came out quickly. Each order of Pork Xiao Long Bao had 9 pieces, so we had a total of 36 pieces. They were juicy and flavorful, but the skin was a bit thicker this time. Then we had the pan-fried chive & pork dumplings and shrimp & pork dumplings. We liked the chive & pork ones more than the shrimp & pork because they were more flavorful. The beef Roll pancakes were yummy, but I did not like cilantro. Beef Stew noodle soup was decent, but the beef could be thicker, though. The Chinese Braised Pork Belly was worth the wait; the flavor was on point. Lastly, we were satisfied with the interesting chocolate Lava XLB; it was not my favorite because I prefer savory XLB, but it was fun to try, and my daughters liked it. They automatically added a 18% service charge for parties of 6 or more, which is fair.

scallion pancakes, crispy!

I went here because my boyfriend recommended it, and it definitely did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in, everyone was so welcoming and friendly. The owner was incredibly kind, made small talk with us, and even gave us a free sample of their boba milk tea, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was absolutely amazing. It honestly reminded me of the food I had in China because everything tasted so authentic and flavorful. Every dish we ordered was fresh, delicious, and cooked perfectly. You can really tell they put a lot of care into the food. The prices are also very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. They even have a great promotion going on right now where you get one free order of xiao long bao per table, which is an awesome bonus! The customer service was just as impressive as the food. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome throughout our meal. Overall, this was an easy 10/10 experience. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to my friends and family. If you're looking for authentic, delicious food with amazing service, you have to give this place a try!

Great atmosphere and very clean. Staff was cheerful and courteous. They were very helpful and friendly. We ordered the Xiao Ling Bao (soup dumplings). They had a BOGO special if you buy any of the XLB's you get the pork XLB for free ($12.99 value). These were delicious. I also ordered the pork belly with garlic sauce appetizer. I didn't know it was served cold. Also very spicy and pork was dry. I was not impressed with this dish and will not order it in the future. Ordered the Wok fried Sweet & Sour chicken which was delicious and also ordered regular shrimp and pork dumplings. I think I would stick with the XLB choices. My nephew ordered some beef noodle soup and gave me a taste. Yeah, no, as in no flavor. Pass on the noodle soup for me. For dessert the cornbread bao was not sugary sweet but nice. I don't think it is much of a dessert though. Overall I had a good experience but not sure if I would go here again since it is out of my way. Lots of parking.

Pork xiao long bao
Jeremy S.

We dined in for lunch as they have an enticing buy-one-get-one free deal for xiao long bao per table. We ordered pork xiao long bao ($12.99 for nine pieces), dan dan noodles ($10.99), beef stew noodle soup ($12.99), and chicken fried rice ($12.99). Portions here are filling, and our server asked if we wanted extra bowls to share our soup and noodle dishes. Out of all our dishes, I enjoyed the soup dumplings and fried rice the most. The dumplings were in stacked steamers and nicely hot at first. They do cool down once you open the lid. The dumpling wrapping was sturdy, and the soup was deliciously savory. This paired well with the chicken fried rice. It had a nicely firm texture with a good amount of meat. The dan dan noodles had a thick and spicy peanut-based sauce. The beef stew noodle soup was my least favorite dish. It a little salty, and the noodles were too soft for my liking. Although these two dishes were spicy as confirmed by the server, they were just right for me. The restaurant has more options, so I might try something different for next time. Overall, the food was great here, and I'd like to come back if I'm ever craving dumplings. Paying basically $13 for 18 pieces of fresh xiao long bao was a great deal. The ambience is a nice balance between fancy and casual. I enjoyed the ambience as the restaurant was tidy with relaxing music playing in the background. By the entrance, staff prepared dumplings in an open part of the kitchen. It also looked like the restaurant was once a spot to eat hot pot as there were stovetops and range hoods at each table.

Sunny Dumpling House is a new restaurant located in Walnut and specializes as the name says dumplings. You can see the staff members making fresh dumplings on the left side and in the frozen freezers of the right you can actually buy them for take-out. Sadly though every dumpling was with pork and the vegetarian that I had tried was just filled with rice. Wish it were with some type of vegetables instead of rice for a shu mai or dumpling style. Many other places have options where they just do fish dumplings without pork or vegetarian dumplings that are filled with mushrooms and random vegetables. The scallion pancake though was pretty good and also the beef roll, but it was slightly smaller in size.

Dumplings

Excelente place for great dumpling Went here with a friend after hitting the Vons next door and this spot surprised us in the best way. Classic cozy Chinese vibe, super clean, and you can actually watch them wrapping and steaming everything right behind the counter -- low‑key mesmerizing. Pork soup dumplings were the star: thin skin, super juicy inside, you get that fresh pork flavor without the greasy heaviness, really hit the spot. We also tried the wontons in chili oil, nice kick but still flavorful, not just blasting your tongue for no reason. Staff were chill, patient, helped us pick a few things and didn't rush even though it's fast‑casual. Grabbed a bag of frozen dumplings to cook at home too, pretty clutch for late‑night cravings. Definitely coming back when the dumpling mood strikes again.

Allen T.

Solid spot in Walnut for a casual meal, especially if you're coming get their Xiao long bao and scallion pancakes. Pancake is very thin and tasty. Beef rolls great

This is the best of the best Chinese cuisine and Xiao Long Bao! It's no brainer to check this place out! Reasonable price with buy one get one free for Xiao Long Bao!

Chow mein with beef
Cecilia C.

Came here for a Sunday lunch. The place was pretty busy but we got seated right away, which was nice. We ordered the chow mein with beef, the beef rolls, and their juicy pork xiao long bao. The chow mein was alright, pretty standard, a little too salty for me. My kid wasn't complaining though, he polished off a big plate. I will say the portion felt a bit small for what it cost; only a few pieces of beef in there. The beef roll was much better. The sauce was slightly sweet and made the whole dish really flavorful and balanced. The xiao long bao were on a buy-one-get-one deal, which was awesome value. They took a bit to come out, but when they did, they were piping hot and tasted really fresh. They also brought out some complimentary cold dishes while we waited, which was a nice touch. Service was a bit slow, but we weren't in a rush so it was okay. Now, I have to mention an incident that happened. Right after we sat down, the waitress was very nice and brought a kids plate and utensil for our 3-year-old son. We thought that was great, until we realized the fork was way too sharp. Our son was just messing with it and before we knew it, he'd nicked himself and his chin and hands were bloody. It was a real shock how fast it happened. We let the waitress know and she was apologetic and took the fork and plate right away. Later, she brought us two steamed buns as an apology, which we appreciated. But honestly, that's the kind of accident that just shouldn't happen with kid-friendly utensils. Just a heads-up for other parents, maybe bring your own or check the fork first.

However, having elderly guests in their 70s and approaching 80 standing for nearly an hour is completely unacceptable. What is even more unacceptable is that people who arrived after us were allowed to walk in and were seated almost immediately, while we continued to wait despite having already received our number. If this is how your waiting system works, then there is clearly a serious problem with how the seating is being managed We also tried to discuss the situation with the staff member, but the staff member's attitude was extremely rude, arrogant, and dismissive. The tone used toward us was completely inappropriate. We were not asking for special treatment--we were simply asking for a fair and reasonable explanation. Especially when dealing with customers who are in their 70s and approaching 80, shouldn't there be at least some patience, basic courtesy, and respect? Expecting elderly guests to stand for nearly an hour and then speaking to them in such a harsh and dismissive manner is simply unacceptable. I strongly suggest that your restaurant have someone experienced in managing seating arrangements and handling large crowds. I understand that today is a busy day, but this is a restaurant that has been operating for many years. A busy day should not be an excuse for poor organization or disrespectful treatment of customers. The way this situation was handled was unacceptable. I hope management will seriously review both your seating procedures and the way your staff communicate with customers, especially elderly guests who have already been waiting for an extended period of time.

Despite how big it is, there were still a lot of people waiting outside when we finished eating. The carts come around often and we got most of the things we wanted. All of the cart dishes were $6. The Shrimp Ha Gow and Pork Siu Mai were above average and the pieces were big. The Xian Sui Gok didn't have much filling. I really liked their Rice Noodle Rolls. They tasted fresh and had a soft, bouncy texture. The shrimp ones were better than the BBQ pork. The Baked BBQ Pork Buns were light and fluffy with decent filling but a little saucy. This is a solid place for dim sum. The quality is good and the portions are generous. We enjoyed ourselves and never felt rushed even though they were busy. I would venture outside of OC to come here again for dim sum.
