Very yummy! Supposedly more busy at dinner than lunch. Can order at the counter or via QR code at the table or they can take your order at the table. Need to have a table to order. Ample parking in the center. Ordered pork dumpling, soup dumplings, Dan Dan noodles. Cucumber, green beans, thin onion pancake. All excellent.

Great dim sum in the area!! Dan dan noodles, and spicy wontons were delicious. Soup dumplings were also fresh and tasty! If you are looking for something to satisfy your DTF craving without breaking the bank, this is the spot to go. Definitely will be returning!

This is a great restaurant to enjoy dumplings and noodle soup etc. the taste was great for certain items to my opinion. You have to try and see which ones may stimulate your taste buds to enjoy.

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.

The food is very authentic and delicious. I come here all the time to eat and always get a bag of frozen ones to take back and cook at home. The xiaolongbao is MUCH better than dtf or wherever else (maybe unless you're white people. The only thing is once I came by myself and ordered enough for 2-3 portions because I was planning on taking home my leftovers for dinner or the next day, and one of the guys said "For one person?" when I was done ordering. I'm not sure what that meant, but I said yes and moved on. The food was still delicious as ever ;)

I stumbled upon this spot as I was restlessly looking for a Chinese food restaurant. The fact that Chinese characters are in the actual name of this establishment gave me encouragement to try it out. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. I may have over ordered but that's not regrettable. I ordered a hot and sour soup, pork XLB, pork and shrimp pan fried dumplings, green beans and beef chow mein. Super convenient with QR code to toasttab, sharing the same tab with anyone who scans the same code and placing an order digitally without the card-receipt-signing dance. H&S soup was perfectly vinegared but could have used a tad bit more white pepper or chilies. Still hit the spot and was enough to serve 4-6. Pork XLB was delightfully textured. The wrapping was strong to withstand a few rollovers but thin enough to not be overpowering in chew. Perhaps this is regional flavor, but I found the pork to be slightly sweeter than I am used to but nonetheless pleasant with dark vinegar. Only thing missing is fresh ginger accoutrement (but again, might be a regional style of flavor profile). The shrimp and pork pan fried dumplings surprised me, in a good way. The crisp is well balanced with the chewiness of the skin and there quite a bit of juice with each bite (like an XLB!). My only wish is that they provided a pork and chive version, too. Green beans were cooked with a lot of wok heat but lacked the fermented root radish flavor that I'm used to (another regional style difference perhaps?). But the texture was perfect in that it still had a snap and not overly dressed with chili oil. The beef chow mein was my partner's choice and I didn't give it a try. However, he enjoyed most of it sharing that it had a good balance of Vegetable to meet ratio. Overall, will definitely come back for staples, and give the Dan Dan Mein a try!

Now if you’re coming here thinking it’s going to be a boujee dumpling spot made for the Gram, you will be shook. This is how I think of a Chinese restaurant. No beer, no booze, disposable plates, plastic cups, and delicious food. You order online and there are no servers. It’s pretty bare bones but they are doing this to turn over the tables. But the prices are cheap and it has some of the best dumplings I’ve had. I would go out of my way to come back but I wouldn’t wait in a line. Hint, go early, you’ll be at the front of the line at the open.

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.

I love this find! I was craving dumplings and did not want to deal with the long wait at DTF and Paradise. This place is definitely good, but I would still rate lower than the other two mentioned. I would say the best things I had here were their pan fried dumplings and Dan Dan noodles. The spicy wonton was not spicy, but potentially can use a little more vinegar. The Xiao long bao is decent but cannot compete with DTF as it was not as juicy as I would like. The flavor profile tastes just like home, and I enjoyed it! The cucumber garlic, although something simple, and most places taste the same, but it was perfect here, just the right enough amount of flavor, and fresh cucumbers. The potato salad is not like the Sichuan numbing spice that I am used to, and this particular batch was a tad too salty, and hopefully it was just that batch! I will definitely still be coming back and eating here, it is good, hits the spot, and easier to park!

This place is LEGIT. Incredible environment, amazing food, and great service. We sat down starving, ready to throw down… ordered a feast and within 5 minutes everything started coming out. Soup dumplings, noodles, we tried it all. Delicious and can’t wait to come back. Nice job, Fam! 🤘🏼👨🏼‍🦰

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.

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 took our teenage kids here for Valentine's Day and this was a great experience all around! The food was authentic and delicious! The service was great and we loved the atmosphere. Our kids had to learn how to use chopsticks since they did have not have forks and that made the whole experience even better! We had so much fun. Get the green beans! I could have eaten the whole plate by myself! Thank you, Sunny Dumpling House! We'll be back when we visit Newport again!

You can enjoy dim sum without having to wait in long lines like at Din Tai Fung. A cozy, small, typical Chinese restaurant. I had beef noodle soup and pan-fried dumplings, both delicious with absolutely no gamey taste. At the corner of the opened kitchen, three old ladies were constantly rolling out dumpling wrappers. No wonder they're so fresh.

The food is absolutely amazing. We usually order online for pickup and eat at home. Our favorite are the spicy pork & shrimp wontons and the green beans. We are so thankful to have such a tasty authentic Asian food option in South OC. Such a gem!!

This is my most favorite dim sum restaurant so far. I don't wanna wait 2 or 3h for Din tai fung. I didn't have no waiting time. The dumplings are very delicious and flavorful. Also we can buy frozen dumplings and eat at home. It's very good quality!!

It’s nice to have this high quality dim sum place in the neighborhood. Green onion pancakes are thin and crispy which is my favorite. Xiao Long Bao and Pan Fried dumpling are soupy just not as good as I had in Shanghai, but still really good. My friend love all of them and his favorite is spicy wonton. At last, We got one bag of frozen dumplings which is good for quick meal at home or camping.

Got the dan dan noodles (3.5/5), fried pork (3.5/5)dumpling, spicy wonton(4/5), string beans(4/5), scallion pancake(4/5). Cucumbers (2.5/5) Highlight was the Scallion pancake. It was crispy and thin unlike the usual thick chewy ones. You order thru a QR code sticker on the table. Servers will bring the food to your table.

Usually great! Not sure what happened today, we did come in about 45 minutes before they closed at 2:30 but I never got my food and they were about to close by the time I realized they weren’t going to get it to me so I just had to get it refunded. The staff was very nice, just wish that could have been avoided.

La verdad para mi unos de los peores restaurantes que e ido. Pedí unos chilaquiles para llevar y los pedí con los huevos bien cocinados pero para nada estaban como los pedí y sólo eran chips con salsa y dos huevos y crema no tenia nadamas los chilaquiles más pobres que me dieron.

El chico que cobra no sirve para nada ( Michael) solo para tomar tu dinero y te ordena como quiere .. le pides algo y después no es lo que pediste … no hay personal suficiente y te dejan esperando mucho tiempo para servirte …. Era bueno el lugar… ahora no vuelvo…
