Ixlb Dim Sum Eats

It's a corner shop, adjacent to Prince St Pizza! There's technically a lot of street parking possible, however there are minimal spots open. Parking lot in the back is valet... typical. This place is like dim sum, fast food version. Each dish comes in small microwaveable containers. You're given sauce packets and chili oil. Their chili oil is my favorite. Would like to buy a gallon if I could. It's the right amount of heat, clean aroma. No chili flakes which is kind of sad. Everything is good here. Shumai are humongous, shrimp pearl is coated in sweet rice. I guess their stir fried noodles can be a bit oily but it's pretty good! Eating it there when it's freshly off the steamers is amazing. The flavors, the soft/chewy bites. This place is already a staple for me, especially when I don't want to drive to SGV.

I'm sure the reviews on their food are true, but I couldn't park and find out for myself.Serious parking problem here, in particular as security battles customers vs the new prince st pizza.

I recently relocated close by and decided to finally stop by and get some takeout brunch for myself. Now parking can be a challenge in the area and I decided to park awkwardly (illegal?) to pick up briskly. Point is my pick up was so fast no one would have time to give me a ticket.Now onto the food. The taste of the dim sum here is nostalgic, brings back childhood memories of the earlier dim sum restaurants and bakeries that first opened in Southern California. I wouldn't say they have the latest and greatest dim sum style that can be found in other restaurants, but it is still very delicious. I ordered a few items -- Har gow, sticky rice balls, French cha siu Bao, pineapple bolo custard Bao, and egg tart. So you can see I mostly have baked items, which I found that I had too much. For the price of the bao's and the size, you're really getting your bang for your buck. At other dim sum restaurants, you're guaranteed a fraction of the size found here. These are ginormous bao's and I suggest treading lightly in this territory. Har gow here is decent and fulfilled my dim sum craving. The sticky rice balls were one item I felt was very unique here. I've never had sticky rice balls wrapped up this way and it really wasn't what I was expecting. Still quite enjoyable nonetheless.Bottomline, I felt the nostalgia and I was getting a real bang for my buck. If you plan on dining here, the interior boasts a pleasantly modern and cozy setting.

Long have I heard the tales of Ixlb Dim Sum Eats and finally my path was able to perfectly cross with them for a lovely dinner. The place was packed and after ordering at the counter, we got the last open seats. It's such a busy spot on a busy Sunset Blvd corner.The prices and quality at Ixlb are just great! It was $6.39 for 4 Chicken Siu Mai packed with sweet corner and ginger. I was so in love with these and they surprisingly filled me up! Pretty much my perfect quick dinner. I also tried one of my friend's classic Cha Siu Bao. It was filled with tons of chopped BBQ honey roast pork inside of the softest bao. It was perfect, serving up three for $6.25. They are more take out centered & counter service, but if that's what keeps the cost so low, I'm down.A million bonus points because as quick and casual as this place may seem, we saw the cutest Grandma who seemed to be running the show. I'm down with it.They have a second location in Westwood. I'd definitely return, loved the food and prices, plus I still need to try the namesake from here - xiao long bao !

IXLB delivers well-executed, no-frills Chinese comfort food. The pork buns were substantial--three for $7--with a soft, pillowy exterior and a flavorful, juicy filling. The pork and shrimp shumai were generously sized and had a satisfying bite. The pork over rice was hearty, well-seasoned, and balanced in texture. Portion sizes were impressive for the price, and while I over-ordered, every dish was well-prepared and enjoyable. A solid choice for classic flavors done right.

Fast service and amazing food. You can't find a better dimsum place in Hollywood. You have to try it

New menu items. Trying out the mochi dumplings. You say mochi, I gotta say yes. I expected steamed and asked Tony the manager to change the name to fried - since it's the Cantonese fried "ham siu kok." The new item menu beef bento box is 11.99. I'll be back to try the regular pork bento box that is 8.99.Egg tart is fresher than ones I find in Chinatown. You can see they make everything fresh here. It's quiet on a weekday. Limited parking in the back.

I LOVE GOOD Dim sum and this place hit the spot. I usually eat DimSum in Chinatown where it's definitely cheaper than this place, but I really wanted to try this place out and I'm glad that I did. The menu has many choices to choose from. I love that there are pictures connected with the food choice. As I said previously, the prices are higher that Chinatown, but if you don't feel like going to Chinatown, this is a good spot to go to.The service was really quick once I placed my order. I love the reusable containers that they come in.Not much ambiance, but the place looked clean. Not too many places to sit if you want to stay and eat it there. Parking can be challenging in this neck of the woods. Thank goodness they have a small parking lot in the back. If you are taking it to go, the valet guys will let you leave your car in the wait line for free while you go get your order.

I've been craving dim sum lately and randomly found this place when I was driving down Sunset Blvd! So happy I gave it a try. They have a pretty good variety of items and the food came out super quick. The Shao Mai was a favorite of mine and the red bean bun baos were so soft, fluffy and flavorful. Don't forget the sesame balls, perfectly crispy and delicious!

Came here for dim sum, as that's what it's known for. Ixlb has a few locations including this one in Hollywood. Located close to all that fun stuff just to the east on Sunset. A typical fast casual concept. This is a place you order on the screens and it's ready in a few minutes. A chain restaurant feel to it, but there's only a few locations around the city. It's for sure not authentic Asian, but it's not that bad to be honest. The menu is kind of limited in choices, which helps limit the waiting. Ordering is done all by the customer. You choose the items by using the screens, and then you pay for it there. It's about $5 for the dim sum. The Vegetable Dim Sum is the choice for vegetarians. Basic looking. These are a pretty good size and filled though. Gets better with the chili oil, good stuff to dip into. The rest of the menu has things like chicken and others. For a fast food type of place it's not bad. It's actually pretty good in terms of flavor and price. There's a limited menu but there's some things for vegans and vegetarians.
