"I missed this restaurant when it closed its Rowland Heights store. When I learned it reopened, I couldn't wait to have the yummy food again.Restaurant Environment:To my surprise, the new store (with the same name) was so much smaller than the original. It has lost all its past glory. Only the owners (husband and wife) work at the restaurant. Food was still made fresh after you ordered them, so it took a bit for me to receive my food. It was 90 degrees outside, the restaurant's door was open and no A/C on, just fans running. The utensils and cups/small bowls were all styrofoam/disposable ones.Went during lunch on a Friday, the place was empty. Two other came in after I did. That was all. It looks like this store is more geared towards online/app orders.FOOD:I ordered dumplings. The skin was a bit thicker than I remembered it, and the size was just a bit bitter than before. It used to be easy bite sized, now I had to really open my mouth to fit the entire dumpling. The lamb dumplings were saltier than I remembered. The pork ones were just fine.The new location only has limited items on its menu, missing quite a few things from its old menu, but you can still order those frozen to go even if not available for dine-in.STAFF:The owners were friendly but they were quite busy because they had to do everything, from cashier to waiters, to kitchen staff.Takeaway:I don't think I'll be back during the summer. It was seriously too hot to eat."

First time visiting and plan to come back. Ordering by phone was easy and pick up was a breeze. Dumplings were tasty. Overall menu is reasonably priced.

These dumplings right here are going to put Monster and Red Bull out of business. They're also delicious (I had the beef and onion) and the woman who makes them is awesome.

The freshly-made pork and chives dumplings were a limited sampling, but more than good enough to inspire a return visit in the future to try more menu items. The pork-to-chives ratio was perfect. View menu

I left the DMV feeling hungry and decided to try the stir-fried pork and chives dumplings. They were absolutely delicious! It's a quaint little mom-and-pop restaurant, and I found it to be clean and well-kept. However, I didn’t notice any vegan or vegetarian options on the menu.

I ordered dumplings filled with wood ear mushrooms (black fungus). They were packed with flavor, but I found the meat to be a bit fattier than I prefer; I usually like leaner meat. The hot and sour soup was meatless, which I would have appreciated having, but it was still flavorful otherwise.

Average price with good quality of food. I'm from north China and always been craving for fennel dumplings after moving to LA coz it's really hard to find it here. This place makes really tasty fennel dumplings which reminds me of my hometown, and the fennel itself tastes really fresh which is a plus. Definitely gonna be back to try the other dumplings and buns. View menu

Take their stuff home you won't be disappointed! Literally have to look hard to find this hidden gem, but I'm so glad I did! Food is fantastic and reasonably priced. The lady (I'm assuming she's the chef/owner) hand makes all the food herself, and was super friendly and helpful with her recommendations. Place is clean as authentic as it gets if you're craving northern china dumplings/Baos!

We discovered this gem thanks to my boyfriend! Eager to sample a variety of dishes from the menu, we decided to order several items: scallion pancake ($4.99), beef turnip pockets ($11.99), which come with six seafood dumplings ($10.99), and ten pork and cabbage dumplings ($8.99) — it's only an extra $2 if you'd like them pan-fried. The scallion pancake was thicker than what we're used to, but everything else we tried was excellent! I highly recommend dipping the beef turnip pockets in vinegar for an added flavor kick. Dumpling King has officially made it onto my list of go-to restaurants for dumplings, and they even offer frozen dumplings if you want to stock up at home.

"tl;dr You 'll get way better service at Olive Garden, better steak at Outback, and get more respect from people working at the DMV (and I 'm sorry if that offends DMV workers). Forgoing not getting seated until almost 30 minutes AFTER our reservation time, The Derby is disappointing in the only two areas an institution like this should matter food and service. Food: I 'll keep this quick ish, the food is not good. The ribeye I ordered was cooked nicely for medium rare, good sear and perfect doneness, but the quality of the meat itself was subpar. The particular piece of meat was mostly dorsi/eye and had no spinalis/cap. To add, the dorsi/eye was tough and dry like a cheap strip steak or chuck steak. Does this matter for a $20 steak? No! Does this matter when the price tag is pushing $60 $70+? 100% it does when I can buy Prime ribeyes locally for $35/lb and cook it just as well and actually eat it hot. When polled, the rest of the table thought the food was okay at best. $20for shrimp cocktail with 3 average sized shrimp? French onion soup with burnt and hard cheese? Soggy steak fries? These are steakhouse staples that should be slam dunks for any restaurant. Service: While we were never told the name of our waitress, I can use older Yelp reviews to deduct her name was probably Barbara, an older woman with short white hair. She didn 't greet our table until almost 20 minutes after we sat down. By that point we didn 't even know she was our waiter and she made some rather rude and off putting jokes while taking our drink order. To add insult to injury, she took orders from other tables that were seated way way after ours. We saw them getting their food before we even ordered!! Throughout the exhausting night our waitress rarely, if ever, checked in on us. Our table had to flag other waiters down for water refills, to ask when our food was coming out, etc, all while Barbara was off socializing with other customers, exchanging photos on their phones, and taking shots at the bar yep... The food was delivered to our tables some 40+ minutes after getting our appetizers, not after ordering, 40 minutes AFTER getting our appetizers, with luke warm steaks, soggy fries, and the plates basically thrown at us with disregard. Coincidentally, the food came right out we pressed our waitress for an ETA read between the lines here, she forgot and/or didn 't advocate for us to the back of house. The final straw was when our waitress disappeared again and we flagged another waiter down to get our check and desserts to go (it had been over two hours at this point). When our waitress did come by, completely oblivious to us wanting to leave, she sternly said, no, you can only tell me what you need. Truth be told, which we echoed to her as well, we wouldn 't have had to tell someone else if she actually came by our table instead of drinking with other patrons on an empty night. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk don 't come here."
