My wife and I just discovered this place last night. The spicy beef noodle soup was absolutely delicious and exactly what we needed. It hit the spot!
We also enjoyed the conversation with the owner who’s from the same city in China as my wife’s dad. The wall sports a mural sized historical pic of it.
The service was warm, friendly, and efficient.
We’ll definitely be back for more!

This restaurant is called dumpling tops but I think their noodles are the best dishes to order. I had the lobster tail noodles, which was only $20 a bowl but it has a lobster tail, well-cooked vegetables and a real lot of noodles. The broth was very thick, it’s the tonkutsu-style thickness. Noodles are very chewy and yummy. It’s better than most noodle places.
I had XLB and buns too, but I think they’re average. Half of the 8 XLBs I had had their soup leaked onto the steaming plate. The bun’s filling was a small portion. The veggie dumplings were quite good, though. It’s fresh and delicious.
Friendly and very quick service! Good vibes in the afternoon. They have parking at the back on Hope St passing a small alley (not the parking lot on Fair Oaks Ave).

Hidden , majority of customers are Asian elders, families and single guys . The food was authentic food and delicious. Reasonable price too with free parking in the back of the building around the corner.
The cucumber is a must along with the dim sum and beef noodle

We visited for the first time on Valentine’s Day, and I think it’s going to be our go-to spot for date night dumplings and shrimp. We went for the gusto as a treat to ourselves and purposely ordered a lot so we’d have leftovers.
We started with the crispy brussel sprouts, which were utter perfection. Delicate, melt in your mouth, packed full of flavor, with a balsamic glaze finish.
Next were the pork soup dumplings, which absolutely did not need any added accoutrement like chili oil or soy. The flavor of the soup and the pork filling was standalone delicious.
Then came the pecan shrimp, which is the cousin of honey walnut shrimp, only made better by the addition of pineapple and toasted pecans. The shrimp was light and crispy and the sweet sauce made this my new favorite.
The sweet and sour spareribs came out piping hot, with a substantial portion of meaty ribs, and the sauce had the perfect balance of sweet and sour.
Lastly, we had the dan dan noodles. My recommendation for the noodles is to toss them in the sauce a few times and then let it sit for a few minutes, until the noodles soak up all of the sauce. You will not be disappointed! One fun note: these noodles are SO LONG, like comically long, and I’d love to see someone attempt to slurp these noodles without cutting or biting them off.
Now onto the service- to say the staff is attentive is an understatement. Our water glasses were always full. About every five minutes or so, someone came by to check on us. When we were finished, a woman whom I think may be the owner, approached the table and offered to box up our leftovers. She made conversation and asked what our favorite dishes were and we discussed the brussel sprouts, which she told us was her recipe and she was very proud of it.
For all of the food we ordered, a glass of Moscato (9 dollars a glass) and a beer (8 or 9 for imported), the bill was 82 dollars.
I cannot recommend this hidden gem enough. We will definitely be back!

I ordered beef rib noodle soup, green onion pancakes, roasted brussel sprouts, shrimp zucchini dumplings, and sesame balls. Everything was great! Savory and authentic. Also, one staff handling all tables including takeout orders with attentiveness and friendliness was absolutely impressive. Highly recommended.

I went here on Feb 16 for a late lunch with my mom, grandma, uncle and aunt. We ordered bunch of food. It was very good. We left feeling full. Servers were great, they checked on us frequently and refilled our glasses. Not that many people dined in. My favorite dish was the garlic pork ribs. They were so tasty, a bit crunchy and juicy.

I was new to this restaurant, but the hype was well worth the trip and experience. The filet mignon cubes were amazing! The orange chicken (ask for it spicy), the house combo fried rice and the soup dumplings were all on point! If you’re in the mood for some delicious Chinese food, give this place a try, you won’t be disappointed!

My wife and I have driven past this spot countless times, and today we finally decided to stop in for a late lunch.
We ordered the sweet and sour ribs, the steamed sea bass, and the stir-fried mixed vegetables. Every single dish was excellent—so much so that it’s hard to pick a favorite.
The flavors were fresh, balanced, and perfectly prepared. We left completely satisfied and already planning our next visit.
This place is definitely a gem, and we’ll absolutely be coming back!
