A cute little dumpling place in a fun part of town? Yum! I had the spicy wontons here, admittedly close to when they were preparing to close. Still, my order was hot and delicious - and definitely hit the spot for me.The interior is small and the tables are a bit worn in, but that shouldn't scare you away. Seems like a good place for a quick lunch or a grab-and-go snack.My order only took about 8-10 minutes, not long at all. There were plenty of other folks waiting on soups and dumplings and boba milk tea, and they all seemed to get their orders in a reasonable amount of time, too.Prices are fair - dumplings aren't the cheapest when they're done right - and portions are reasonable.I will be back for the juicy XLB dumplings and black garlic fried noodles very soon!

I've come across this area a few times and finally tried it. I went on a random weekday so parking was available in the front. I decided to try their vegan dumplings and a taro milk tea. The taro milk tea was pretty good, but it did have a salty and sweet taste. As for the vegan dumplings, they were different tasting. Not bad, but not usual. There were edaname inside of them and some type of vegan paste. The dipping sauces weren't so great. Oil inside Sriracha-like hot sauce was odd. I was hoping for more of an authentic chili sauce. Overall I would give it a 3. There isn't much else I would taste so this might be just a single time try for me.

First time trying the food it was good but not great . The rice & noodles lacked some flavor needs more seasoning , also wish they had more side sauces to dip my food in . Portion sizes are good , but I would recommend they go down on the prices , it came to 60 something not including tip . Overall not bad , cashier was friendly as well .

There's a wide variety of dumplings, and the shrimp crepe dumplings are incredibly delicious, as are the shumai. The dessert, a black dumpling made with squid ink and filled with cream, just melts in your mouth. The service at this restaurant was excellent, and every dish was absolutely delicious.

The restaurant is small but also has two tables for outdoor seating. My party ordered the boiled beef dumplings, the black garlic beef noodle, and the yuzu tea. The black garlic beef noodles were okay. It's not something I would try again as the garlic was a little too much for my liking. The boiled beef dumplings didn't taste that much different than the ones I could buy at a grocery store. Still tasted pretty good, though. The yuzu tea was great! I'd try that again. Service was good, had minimal interaction with the server. That being said, it's not an awful place to try out. It's a place I'd be willing to order something different in.

I'd say the price point between Din Tai Fung and this place are pretty similar, but given the choice, I'd go to DTF. My parents and I ordered the XLB, black garlic noodles, and fried rice. The XLB were are broken and torn apart before we even got them, so we weren't even able to enjoy the juicy broth - the most important part of the XLB. The dumpling skin was super thick and doughy, which makes me wonder how the dumplings managed to tear and allow the broth to escape. The black garlic noodles weren't too exciting. The flavor was mostly garlic, of course. The fried rice was also pretty average. Not much to write home about.

I definitely expected more but it's just fine. Super Dumpling on Tustin in Orange is far superior if you're looking for handmade (you can watch them make them), hot, fresh dumplings. The vibe was off, employee also was unfriendly - no response to a "Happy New Year" greeting. Disappointed as I'd had this on my list for a while, but probably won't be back.

My partner has been wanting to go to this spot since last year and we finally made it. The guy who was at the cash register greeted us as we walked inside and took our order as well. He was friendly and patient since we(mainly my partner) were looking at their menu items. We ordered their "handmade" pork dumplings and their chicken fried rice. Their "handmade" pork dumplings tasted like they were reheated food not handmade. My partner tried the sauces to if it would make them taste edible enough to eat but sadly that was not the case. It was so disappointing since my partner was planning on buying dumplings to go. 1/5 Rating for their "handmade" pork dumping. The fried rice was 2.8/5 due to its lack of seasoning and flavor. The interior was bright with all their beautiful parrot chandeliers and the rest of the lighting. It's a very spacious area, especially great for big parties. Overall, our experience with the food we had was not the best. I guess we had high expectations, especially my partner due to the high ratings on Yelp and Google. However, the customer service from the guy who greeted us and took our orders was superb. Hence, the total of three stars and not one or two. Who knows if we may ever go back to give them another try but hope you all have a better experience with the food.

I wish I had pictures to show you all the deliciousness I had for dinner, but I was so hungry that I forgot to take them, haha...My sister and I ordered takeout from O Dumpling Bar over the weekend. I had the pancake roll with chicken. Let me tell you something: if you are a fan of onions and cilantro, this item is for you! I enjoyed every bite of it. The roll was well-seasoned and crunchy. My sister tried the tofu pancake roll and mention it was a little salty, but other than that, she enjoyed it. We also had fried and steamed dumplings, and they were delicious! Their ambiance is lovely. Their decor is pleasing to the eye. The best place in Orange. I can't wait for our next order.
