Dumpling Queen

Stopped by for a quick lunch in Whittier and Dumpling Queen didn't disappoint! We tried the Liang Pi salad, cucumber salad and cabbage and pork dumplings.The dumplings as the restaurants name suggests were the star and were perfectly chewy and crispy with a delicious filling. Loved the garlic soy, chili and sweet chili I believe sauces served on the side. Pretty cool to see them making them fresh from the open kitchen as well!Cucumber and Liang pi were fresh and tasty though my wife thought the Liang pi was a bit sweet for her. (I don't mind though!)Get the dumplings!

We eat dumplings quite often and especially a lot of Asian food and spices. I had the beef and onion dumplings and I thought they were great! The spring rolls had a great texture. The scary part came when my friend ate the Dan Dan noodles. After a couple bites, her tongue went numb. She thought she was imagining it so took another 3-4 bites and eventually her gums were numb and she was scared to eat anymore. Again, we eat Asian food at A LOT of authentic places and have never had an issue. When we asked for an ingredient list of the Dan Dan plate, he just kept saying "sorry. Never had problem before. We make everything fresh."Eventually he brought out a bottle of oil they use in their cooking...Turns out it's used medicinally for NUMBING. Not everyone has this a reaction, but seems odd.

I don't like leaving bad reviews so here goes. We ordered about 8 dishes tonight (orange chicken, Dan Dan noodles, 2 order of dumplings, fried rice, honey walnut shrimp, beef roll). The portions are more on the small side, and we honestly didn't care for any of the dishes. The Dan Dan noodles esp were almost inedible. They were especially bland and tasted like unsalted butter. The worst I've ever had. The beef roll tasted lukewarm and stale. We all ended up with stomach aches after and were pretty disappointed. Maybe it's because of the area? Regardless we had a lot of leftover food and ended up tossing it. :( Go to San Gabriel or Rowland heights if you want good Asian food. Please do better dumpling queen.

Fresh made dumplings and noodles! They had a delicious chewy texture that was the perfect bite! The cucumber appetizer had a cool and fresh bite to it, it had spicy peanuts and although I'm not a fan of savory peanuts, complimented the garlicky cucumbers so well. Lastly, those green beans, oh those green beans... I could eat those all day everyday. They were sautéed with a spicy sausage and garlic, soft texture but still maintaining a good snap, these must have been some kind of magic green beans. So good!!!! The ladies making the dumplings are friendly and the food comes out rather fast. The dining room is kinda modern and very clean. Great spot for dumplings!

Last couple times I've only ordered take out. This is my first time dining in. I noticed the menu items have increased /changed since I came here. They've added a variety of dishes to compliment the food . Their specialty is, of course the dumplings. (House made dumpling skin) However, the new dishes offer a more complete meal experience. Tonight we ordered: (for 4 people) 1. Pan fried dumplings- crispy outside , juicy inside (12pieces)2. Pork and cabbage steamed dumplings- juicy inside tasty filling (12pieces)3. Mapo tofu ( mild) -good meat flavor to the sauce base with soft tofu 4. Orange chicken- nice flavor with a bite size of chicken meat 5. Broccoli beef- beef was very tender 6. Scallion pie - thin and crispy ! 7. Noodles w beef- perfectly chewy noodles There was decent amount of food served and although we tried to finish it all ... had to ask for take home containers. I personally am glad additional items were added to the menu. Although the juicy dumplings are great comfort food anytime !

There is a phrase that Chinese people use, "There is Mama's flavor". I use to hear it in food commercials. It's to represent home cook, hearty, comfort food. This is the type of food you will get here.Upon searching for some Chinese dumplings in the area, this new location popped up. Didn't want to drive too far, and wanted something authentic. Luckily, we found this place, located in a unassuming strip mall. Once you step inside, has modern decor, warm low lighting, and the smell of freshly cooked dumplings.This place is priced reasonably for a dozen dumplings between the price $12.99+, other dishes between $7.99-16.99. This time we tried their Shrimp dumplings, Pork dumplings, fried dumplings, Dan Dan noodle, popcorn chicken, Mongolian beef, and Braised string beans. Each dish was just how I remembered eating throughout my life at little eateries in Taiwan. A simple menu, a simple ordering form, but the flavors were anything but simple. I would prefer this place over other local dumpling locations for the fact that the skin was thicker, and it's the Chinese version of dumpling, not the Korean style that you get in La Mirada/Buena Park areas. This is more of a matter of taste, I just prefer this version. The flavors weren't overbearing, tasted fresh, and portions were good.Service was friendly, and quick. There might be a slight English language barrier, but the ladies are sweet and feel like you're being taken care of by your aunties and grandmother. If you want some authentic Chinese dumplings, simple to order, no hassle, no crazy cost. Extra Note : I took the food to-go. Everything was fine, but I think the Fried Dumplings would be better in the restaurant. It still tasted yummy, but it's hard to beat the extra crispiness of this particular dish served right in front of you.

I mean, the name alone brought me in. Ordered a tray of chicken dumplings and a tray of vegetable spring roles. Came with plenty of dipping sauce. Took it to go, so can't say much out the service or ambiance, but the food yummy.

First time here, it's bigger than it looks from the outside. Very friendly staff, small menu but tasty dumplings. They are made to order, large window you can see them being prepared. Wheelchair accessible Family friendly

I've been receiving Yelp recommendations for this spot and decided to stop in. The restaurant was esthetically pleasing and staff polite, friendly, and attentive.It was first time so the hostess that took my order was nice enough to recommend some items. I ended up ordering Pan Fried Pork Dumplings and Yangzhou Fried Rice. Both dishes were incredible and just full of flavors. She also gave me some sauces for the Dumplings that just added another layer of flavors.I'll definitely be back and try other items, this place rocks!

Super fast and the most fresh dumplings iv had in a while 10/10 I would definitely make this a weekly thing if I lived closer
