Shandong Dumplings

Good food if you like dumpling and noodle but unfriendly waitress. She always looks mad, and I feel like she is mad at me every time I ask for something as simple as a fork. I go here because my kids like the spicy beef noodle with not so much beef. My kids said they will continue to eat here weekly until the lady smiles at us.

I know this place doesn’t have a good service, but the owner of this restaurant is a really kind and friendly person. She can’t hire more waitresses and waiters because the rent for this place is too expensive and she needs to spend more money on paying the rent and the cook. So please understand her situation. She’s been making dumplings and crepes for 20 years, she’s really passionate about making food. This is a traditional Chinese restaurant that really worth to go.

Don't be fooled by the negative reviews. The food here, considering the location, is pretty decent. Dumplings are juicy and noodles are Q (if you know what that means!) You could find better food if you drive to San Gabriel, but let's be honest that's another 20-40 minute drive round trip and sometimes you just don't want to waste your time on that commute. Best part? They have fresh garlic at the table that perfectly compliments the dumplings.
