When people ask for Chinese dumplings, they are usually not referring to the Cantonese/Hong Kong style dumplings.

East dumplings and China Bistro is good. Also Shanghai Taste. I very much prefer the Cantonese/Hong Kong style more.

Another vote for east dumpling house. I haven't eaten at China Bistro (Mama Dumplings) in years but I remember it was pretty good also. East dumpling house has a lot of good dishes and is a bigger space if you are looking to eat in the restaurant.

We just did huge carryout for Mother's Day. The Mama's dumplings (shrimp and pork) in my opinion are the best - also we like them pan fried!

But when I go to Chinese restaurants I go for the food, not the service. (I’m Chinese.)


+1 A&J only has potstickers/guotie, no boiled dumplings/shuijiao. While Bob's does have pork and leek/jiucai dumplings, dumplings aren't really a Shanghai item and you're better off ordering the xiaolongbao. Like a good Northeast/Dongbei dumpling house, China Bistro offers nearly two dozen fillings with pork, chicken or beef and a variety of vegetables plus fish and shrimp and vegetarian options.

But I read the Yelp and a bunch of people said the service was bad and the staff demanded higher tip to the customers to their faces. With behavior like that I might be a little worried about what is happening in the kitchen?

Have the China Bistro supporters here tried other places or just China Bistro?


Lol, one has so little to do with the other. This is like worrying about the food quality at a Jamaican restaurant where they are rude to you. If anything, the ruder, the better the food.

PP again. I agree that Hollywood East has good dim sum, but that’s not the same thing as dumplings (jiaozi).
