    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.

    Delicious food great for large families, fast casual and chill vibe, we'll be back! Dumplings, wontons, stir-fry... everything tasted super fresh.

    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.

    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.

    I absolutely loved this dumpling house compared to others I have tried in the area! Walking in you are greeted at the booth and walked to your table. They have an assortment of teas or sodas for drinks & the menu has many options for different types of tastes. They even had large fridges near the front with bags of pre-made dumplings in bulk for sale to make at home! With their current Xiao Long Bao sale going on, you order one and get the other order free; no indication on when that sale would be over. My mom and I were absolutely stuffed and very satisfied with our food and ate the leftovers the next day!

    This is located in a large place off of Lemon Ave and there are a lot of parking spaces nearby. We were greeted by staff almost immediately upon entering and was guided to a table. You can see the workers making dumplings in the front and they have some fridge and freezers in the main room containing frozen dumplings for sale. The ambiance is casual and we've been here when it just opened so not very many people. The staff was very polite and kept refilling our water jug. The food comes out super hot and at this moment, they have an offer for one free XLB per table after ordering any other kind of XLB and its for dine in only. Their restroom was very clean and has two stalls. If i am in the area, I will come back!

    Stopped by on Sunday, 09/14/25 for the first time with my parents during lunch time! Ordered the following: - 1 beef stew noodle soup = $12.99 - 1 vegetarian dan dan noodle = $9.99 - 2 pork xiao long bao (9 pieces) = 12.99 for 1 set (BOGO offer) - 1 assorted fried rice = $13.99 SUBTOTAL = $49.96 TAX = $4.72 TOTAL = $54.68 We waited for about 2 minutes as staff were cleaning up the tables before we were seated. Additionally, this place was quite noisy (very busy). We really enjoyed the BOGO offer for the xiao long bao, I highly recommend this - they also ask if you would like some ginger for the xiao long bao (say yes!). We also got some complimentary appetizers (3 total). PSA: If you have a nut allergy, then please do not get the vegetarian dan dan noodle as it contains peanuts. Also, 1/3 appetizers were peanuts. It took a while for the xiao long bao to arrive. Overall 4/5. Affordable Chinese restaurant with a strong authentic taste!

    BOGO free xiao long bao is more than enough reason to come! It was pretty good and in this economy, it's suuuuuper convenient! I thought service was gonna be your typical Asian restaurant, but EVERYONE was so nice and friendly! It did take awhile for the food to come out, but they apologized saying they were backed up on orders and there seemed to be a family event or something, so the service was very hospitable! Will love to come back and hope this places stays!

    社交的本質是選擇, 不是迎合或改造,刪掉消耗型的關係,才能留下並肩登山的人~ 朋友帶我來這家小哥包子鋪,還沒進門就看見招牌上小籠包 買一籠送一籠,, 第一次看到有這種好康餐廳,當然一定要試試,小籠包送上來, 好吃, 有水準, 既然叫包子鋪, 這類小籠包,包子,水餃應該都會不差,我們還點了 蔥油餅,看起來就很吸睛, 吃起來更是100 分, 這道真的要拍拍手 ,西湖牛肉羹味道不錯, 就是夫妻肺片, 味道太重太重了, 我不喜歡,這道扣分,其他的部分,小菜免費添加,整體服務,價格,味道都很不錯, 你來過這家包子鋪了嗎?

We were placed in the back room, which felt a little more calm compared to the main dining area. Service was good. Our waiter was fast, friendly, and really on top of things, which made a big difference since it was packed. Ordering is simple, they give you a paper menu where you mark what you want and hand it back. We ordered tea for two and picked a bunch of dim sum: jumbo shrimp har gow, shrimp fried wontons, steamed rice noodle roll with shrimp, baked abalone sauce BBQ pork bun, poached Chinese broccoli, and custard egg tarts. Everything came out fresh and hit the spot. The har gow were plump and juicy, the rice noodle rolls were soft and silky, and the BBQ pork buns had that perfect slightly sweet, fluffy texture. The egg tarts were a great finish--warm and flaky. We did end up only getting 5 out of the 6 items we ordered, but honestly we were already pretty full at that point so I didn't feel like making it a big deal. Also... we were so hungry we totally forgot to take pictures of the rest of the food Overall, a good dim sum spot, however I felt like the prices were a bit higher than the other dim some places I usually go to. Busy but efficient, good food, and friendly service. I'd would come back again!

But when we went there for dim sum Monday, not only we didn't get a number to- be seated by the hostess, but we were being passed by people who came after us. Then we realized because we didn't give the hostess a tip for favors before. So we left quietly I know it was partly our fault for not givi0ng her some kind of tip.' Anyway, we also noticed the di0m sums are getting smaller. Then, last night we decided to have dinner there. No waiting, and we were seated right away. We ordered chicken and char-siu . To our surprise, when the dish came, the chicken portion was small enough that it's about half the size of what they normally give you. More noticeably the dark meat part. The char-siu had a few few pieces on top, the rest were little bits and pieces underneath it. for $17.99 , that's quite expensive. We could and should have asked to return it like a couple of other tables next to ours did. But they got theirs after us. Needless to say, this will be our last time to go there. No sense to get this kind of food and service, while the parking was terrible.

There was a small area for an open bar, photobooth, and backdrop where we were able to take photos with the newlyweds. Food wise, the restaurant had forgotten my special order (as nearly every Chinese banquet hall does), but they were able to take my order once seated.

Fortunately, they serve both. We both love siomai, duck, and crispy salted squid so we ordered the trio. The siomai was fresh. Tasted as if it was just off a lunch cart. It's delicious and the serving size is quite generous. The price is unbeatable too. We really enjoyed its balanced taste. Sometimes, siomai can be a bit bland but this was packed with flavor. The Peking Duck was great too. Reminded us of our time in Hong Kong. Less oily but still delicious. The buns were great too. We both enjoyed every bite. The sauce was excellent too. It had sweetness to it from the pineapple sauce. The salted crispy squid is balanced. Salty yet a bit sweet. It's definitely more of the indulgent side of things. Best paired with rice.

Steamed rice is available but for an additional charge. The staff made themselves easily visible and offered to take our order almost immediately. The chicken chow mein arrived lastly. We noticed this because we were finishing our two other dishes. The ambience was nice, but I noticed that our plastic tablecloth was a little tattered. The fish fillet with sweet corn came breaded. With sweet and savory flavor from the corn, it was good. It might've been better if the fish were not breaded. The flavor from the honey walnut shrimp was adequate, but I've tasted better elsewhere. My hunch infers that the shrimp quality could've been higher. The chicken chow mein's flavor was decent, but I've tasted better slurry from other Chinese restaurants. Our meal came with complimentary jasmine tea, which was quite strong and flavorful.

We order the marinated cucumber salad, Shanghai spicy shrimp and pork wontons, pan fried pork dumplings, pork xiao long bao, and the beef tenderloin udon with black pepper. My favorites were the Shanghai spicy shrimp and pork wontons and the beef tenderloin udon with black pepper. Both are considered spicy dishes but I have a weak spicy tolerance and I did not think that they were spicy at all! The pan fried dumpling skirt was crispy and instantly melts in your mouth. The xiao long baos have a small amount of soup within and the cucumber salad was so refreshing. The food comes out quick! The staff work quick to ensure you get all of your food fast. This place is one of my favorite spots to grab some dumplings. Highly recommend!

    I've been coming to Thumbling for about 4 years, and it used to be one of my favorite restaurants…read more Unfortunately, it's gone downhill. The sesame peanut noodles have been disappointing the last three times I've ordered them. They barely add any sauce anymore, so the noodles taste bland. Instead, they throw in a ton of minced garlic and especially minced ginger, which completely overpowers the dish. It doesn't taste anything like it used to. The service has also gotten worse. I asked an employee in Spanish if I could have a straw. She acted like she didn't understand me, so I asked again in English, and she still said she didn't understand. I just said never mind. But a few minutes later, my aunt asked the same employee in Spanish for more water, and suddenly she understood perfectly. That honestly left me confused. The employees also come off as rude and unfriendly. Then, when it's time to pay, they practically shove the tablet in your face while standing there watching you. We were a party of four, yet there was a $16 gratuity added, and on top of that they asked us how much extra tip we wanted to leave. It feels like you're being pressured into tipping twice instead of it being your choice. It's honestly sad because this place used to be so good. I've noticed fewer people eating there lately, and if the food quality and customer service keep getting worse, I can see why. I hope management takes this seriously and brings Thumbling back to what it used to be.

Their mala beef noodle soups are solid, the broth is rich and the noodles are firm enough. The restaurant has very generous portions for their appetizers. The seaweed app is a heaping mountain and the popcorn chicken always comes on a large plate. Their drinks are also big so it's great to share with the group. There's generally no wait when we go, weekdays or weekend. Otherwise we get seated pretty quickly after a small wait. Service is super quick with piping hot dishes.

They also have a location in Rosemead. POPCORN CHICKEN ($10) - while popcorn chicken is not typically relatively crispy or crunchy, it still had good flavor and there were big portions. 4/5 XIAO LONG BAO ($13.50) - XLB is one of the most popular dishes here like they are at other similar restaurants like Din Tai Fung. Beware that it's steaming hot when it first comes out and it can still be too hot to eat even minutes after. To cool it down, poke a hole through the inside. It's typically eaten with vinegar, soy sauce, and a bit of ginger slices which added nice flavors. 4/5 BEEF ROLL ($16) - I liked the crispy exterior and there was a good portion of meat. This was one of the dishes I liked more than others. 4.5/5 HOT OIL SHRIMP PORK WITH CHINESE CABBAGE WONTON ($14) - the wontons were larger than typical and while I liked the mala spice of the sauce, I wasn't the biggest fan of the overall flavor of the sauce. 3.5/5 HOUSE SPECIAL BEEF NOODLE SOUP ($15.50) - the broth was flavorful and the meat pieces were very tender. It was a big bowl of soup with a healthy portion of noodles. If you're looking for authentic Chinese cuisine with homemade noodles this is a solid spot.
