“ First time visiting since the new owner took over — the quality of the xiaolongbao is surprisingly good, and the prices are much more affordable than Din Tai Fung! I’ll definitely be coming back often! ”
“ Very good food. The soup dumplings and, generally, everything was tasty. I didn’t really like the system for ordering food off of your phone and paying from your phone, but the food was great. There can sometimes be a wait. I do like the pork dumplings better than the XLB. Do NOT order the beef stew noodles. They were terrible. ”
“ They're so amazingly consistent in both orders accuracy and quality. This place never misses. Easily one of my favorite dumpling houses in the world! Comes very close to Xiao Long Bao I've had in Shanghai. ”
“ They are a small, local chain with 3 or 4 locations scattered around southern California. It's more of that "family-owned Chinatown dumpling shop" feel, rather than a Din Tai Fung setup. This is a perfect addition to Lake Forest and I hope to see some more of these dumpling shops around Orange County. My recommendations: - Your choice of XLB - Your choice of Chow Mein or Dan Dan noodles (if you like spice) - Pan Fried Pork Dumplings (my favorite) - Pork and Vegetable Spicy Wonton - Garlic & Chili String Beans Ordering is done at your table by scanning the QR code on the table surface. Then you proceed to selecting menu items via Toast Tab on your mobile browser, and then completing the checkout to place your order. The secrets out on this place, so write your name on the waitlist and expect to wait a bit during prime dining hours. This place is worth the wait. ”
“ We came here for brunch around 11:30 on Saturday and there was a line waiting outside. You have to sign your name in the waiting list. Fortunately the wait wasn't too bad - only 10-15 min. The menu is viewable by scanning the QR code and you pay via credit card through the app so make sure you bring a phone with good mobile data. We ordered the scallion pancakes, xiao long bao, seaweed salad, sweet and sour cabbage, and small wonton soup. The scallion pancakes were crispy but it was fried in lots of oil, so don't recommend it if you're on a diet. The Xiao Long Bao was good and juicy. Overall it was a good experience and I would visit again if I was in the area. ”
“ If you're a fan of authentic Chinese dumplings and mouthwatering dishes, this hidden gem in Lake Forest is an absolute must-visit! Picture this: skilled ladies expertly handcrafting fresh dumplings right before your eyes. These are some of the best you've ever tasted, and the lack of bells and whistles only adds to the charm. Now, let's talk about the beef stew noodle soup – an explosion of flavor in every spoonful. The best part? You're in control of the spice level. And those Pork XLB (Xiao Long Bao) dumplings? Filled with liquid soup that's downright heavenly! Trust me, you can't stop at just one. And here's the modern twist – you can place your order seamlessly with a QR code and order online. Convenience meets authenticity at its finest! Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you; this place is a culinary treasure waiting to be discovered. ”
“ I love this place! I’ve never had a bad dish. Staff are friendly and I enjoy watching the ladies making the dumplings while waiting on our food. ”
“ Very tasty bowl of beef noodles. I noticed they also sell frozen dumplings. I was surprised to find this gem outside of Irvine, but Lake Forest is right next door after all. ”
