Quick Summary
Fresh food and never frozen. Really enjoyed how juicy all of their meat dishes were. It doesn't reach the quality of Din Tai Fung, but it's a fantastic neighborhood option.
Food- 4 stars
Pan fried pork dumplings- very juicy and delicious. Just as advertised, the dumplings taste like they are freshly made and never frozen. It was a tad on the salty side, so definitely would recommend some vinegar and ginger
Steamed soup dumpling- this was good as well. Not Din Tai Fung quality, but difficult to find anything better
Angus Stewed beef noodle- this was very good too. Soup, beef, and noodles were delicious
Service- 4 stars
The service is an introvert's paradise. You order everything through your phone if you're dining in, without any interaction with the servers. Food and drinks are then brought to you.
Bottom Line
If you're in the mood for dumplings, highly recommend going to Luscious Dumplings if Din Tai Fung is not an option.
My first time going to a Dumpling place, they were delicious and super tasty .. My family and I enjoy it and we were greatly pleased.
It’s located in a shopping place with a lot of parking spots.
Simple and small place but Dumplings are so good ..
They also have a Michelin 2021 mention 😀
Found this place back when the pandemic first started and have been ordering to go ever since. My kid absolutely LOVE their chili oil which they sell. It's a must get for her whenever we come. Dumplings are really good and prices are decent enough to get an order of everything you want to try.
So many dumplings and noodles places but this place deserves the 5 stars! Michelin star worthy for sure! The noodle soup was so good that we finished the entire bowl. The dumplings were really fantastic too. While they play American music on the radio, the food is definitely not Americanized. Lol.
Pork fried dumplings here are the tops. Full stop. Everything here is amazing
