Jiayuan Dumpling House

Place is pretty small but quiet, the service was pretty good and so was the food. The shrimp fried rice was absolutely delicious but the steamed buns were too salty for my taste. As for the beef dumplings they were pretty good too but nothing over the top. I would come here again just mainly for the shrimp fried rice.

I will be coming back again and again! We tried the sweet and sour chicken and the eggplant with beef. Both were great! I didn't particularly love the beef on the eggplant so next time, I'll get it without the added protein. I also want to try the fried rice next time! The service is also efficient but very friendly! The restaurant is very simple so don't expect any frills but the food is a 10/10!

This place is Wow! I was their 200th customer that week; they had a silent gift, amazing! I never win anything, so I was quite surprised. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was great! I truly enjoyed and recommend Jiayuan Dumpling House; I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Major mom and pop vibes in this quaint dumpling house. (it turns out I was right!) First of all, the service was stellar. The young lady helping us was polite and hospitable. (Turns out, her family owns the restaurant.) She answered all of our questions, brought our food out quickly, and made sure that empty plates were cleared away so we had room for more food. The iced Thai tea was perfect, with not too much ice, and the unbelievable part was that they offered free refills! Happily too. She even offered my husband a complimentary drink to go. We tried the scallion pancakes, fried eggplant stuffed with ground chicken, pumpkin patties, wonton soup, pork and Napa dumplings (OMG), and the shrimp and sausage fried rice. Generous portions and affordable. These are the types of restaurants you genuinely want to succeed!After talking with the server, she explained that her mom makes the dumplings by hand to ensure that they have just the right amount of each ingredient, and she also presses the pumpkin patties by hand. So much pride in what they do, and it showed in the quality of the food!

This place is 900 ft from my dogs' vet and I didn't want to drive anymore. My day was incredibly stressful because my doggie was having a bad day :(I just wanted to sit quietly, have some tea and scroll my social media. I was greeted nicely and the restaurant was nice and clean with ample strip mall parking. I have been to both Japan and Korea, but not China , so I don't know what scallion pancakes are supposed to taste like. They arrived nice and hot and cut into little quesadilla triangles. Pretty void of flavor and very few scallions. They were light and airy. Same with the orange chicken: void of flavor and it doesn't come with rice. Scallion pancakes, orange chicken and tea came to $30. Not likely to return.

The good:I will definitely be back to this authentic and comforting restaurant! I got the chicken with snow peas, carrots, and water chestnut and it was delicious. My super picky toddler ate so much of it. It tasted unique, light and comforting. It wasn't overly dressed in sauce and had great garlic flavor. We also had two different kinds of pan fried dumplings. My other toddler and I both enjoyed the deep fried eggplant with chicken stuffed inside. It was like tempura. It was delicious and I've never seen such a dish before. The eggplant was super thin and the chicken was soft and ground up. There were many delicious options to choose from. The workers were friendly and it seemed like a family operated business. The plaza is small but there are enough parking spots. The bad:The restaurant is small and there's only indoor seating. Most tables are for 4 people but they could squeeze some together to accommodate a larger group. For some reason when we came there were 3 other tables with toddlers other than ours so the booster seat wasn't available until partway through our meal. I'm unsure if high chairs are available. My husband wanted steamed or boiled dumplings but they only had pan fried ones other than the wontons in soup. The interesting:The bathroom was larger than I expected given the small size of the restaurant. We got guava hard candies at the end of the meal.

Fast service, nice workers (owners?), and food was relatively fast and was told the dumpling takes about 15 minutes - so they were very transparent.Food wasn't that great. It was not bad, but not something I'll crave. Portions were decent, but that might have been the highlight.It was good to have parking, they had quite a few tables, and it wasn't terribly expensive.Most likely, I won't come back.

An absolute South Bay gem! Discovered this place a few years ago and the food is amazing, and owned by the sweetest family. They have a great assortment of food, from dumplings to noodle dishes and beyond. This is one of the spots I go to with my run crew and we always have an amazing meal. Some dishes are on the spicier side, but can be adjusted upon request. A couple of the dishes we order regularly:The pumpkin patty, which has an almost mochi-like textureChicken and corn dumplingsTasty spicy chickenPoached fish with tofuDon't sleep on this local gem!

Wonderful dumpling spot with great authentic Chinese dishes! I love the pork dumplings, super juicy and soft. Also i always get spicy boiled fish at any chinese restaurant I go to and this one was great! Order online ahead oftime. The inside is your typical small family -run restaurant vibes.

Running errands and were hungry so we stopped in for a quick bite. This is a little gem tucked away in a shopping strip mall on PCH located in Redondo Beach.. we ordered the pork and napa dumplings and a scallion pancake. Both were delicious and will definitely come back to try more off the menu. The Staff was very friendly and we were seated right away and gave us enough time to make our choices to order.
