I’ve driven by this place a million times and finally stopped to try it tonight. Easy to order in-person. They have iPads where you order/pay. I took it to go, and it was made and ready pretty quickly. Everything was just as good as I had hoped/read in the reviews. The pork bao and bun were delicious. I’ve always wanted to try egg custard bao and now it’s something I’ll be craving in the future!

Randomly found this place today. Super clean inside with fast service. You order on ipads which I always like. Prices are insanely good. We ordered takeout and ate once we got home. Wow though, such great food for a great price. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu.

Very very good dimsum! Yummy, tasty, big and juicy. The Hagao and Sumai are very satisfying, Xiaolungbao is super juicy, baked Chasiubao has good sweet-savory balance, sausage bread is light and fluffy and the egg-yolk bao is satisfyingly sweet. So instead of traditional chinese restaurant, this clever folks create a semi fast-food dimsum where you can eat and go in a jiffy (or at least that's the idea). You go to the computer terminals and order your food, pay at cashier, wait for your food and eat! Quite a refreshing concept. The seating is styled like a bar but space is super duper limited. I know it's downtown where space is premium but number of seatings is really a challenge for this restaurant. I suspect their business model depends more on takeaways rather than dine-in. It's not fun to find seat for party of 8. Price is a kinda expensive, even after factoring in the big size of the morsels.

What a great little place. It’s not full service dim sum but some essentials are here, and you don’t have to eat as a breakfast item. Somehow doesn’t like sim sum? The rice balls were a delightful surprise. Sooooooo what’s ixlb stand for you think? I kind of want dim sum right now.

The best dumplings I've tried outside of China, really something special. Service is great, fast, we didn't have trouble finding parking nearby. It was so good that we returned the next day. Don't miss the egg custards either! Only downside were the scallion pancakes that had no scallions at all, they were bland, but still perfectly caramelised. I can't remove a star due to that though because the rest really was excellent.

This was my first time in LA and I wanted some dim sum. Found this place in google, and after a mile walk I hoped the food would be worth it. It definitely was. The price of the meals was extremely reasonable. The pork dumplings were so juicy and the fish filet was seasoned so well. The place itself was very clean and the staff members were friendly.

Staff were very friendly when I came to pick up my order. For the price, the food was good. Very reasonably priced. Portion size was good too, not those tiny sizes. Definitely worth a try. Only thing was parking, quite difficult to find street parking. There is a small valet lot behind though.

Stopped in one night on the way home and was pleasantly surprised by the portion and the taste of the dim sum dishes. As everyone knows, good quality Chinese food is hard to find outside of the SGV in LA but ixlb serves up good quality dim sum with the radish cake as a particular highlight. Will definitely be back. The lot behind the building offers free one hour parking so no need to try to find parking!

Stopped by for a late snack, set up for take out and quick snack with high tops and stools, better order ahead to save the wait. Roast pork buns and steamed shrimp dumplings were moderately above average, fried chicken dumplings/ potstickers were average and curry pastries were worst I ever had and a let down. Nice and friendly service, clean looking and resonantly priced. Worth circling back to explore some more. Parking at rear was useful.

It's cool that you can order at a kiosk inside. The service was quick and I really liked the drink they have. It was refreshing and delicious as well as not too sweet. All the foods came out fresh and hot. The Siu Mai was definitely my favorite: steamy and juicy. Everything else was yummy, too. It's a bit pricy for me but that's just the cost of the area.

The cha siu bao (I ordered the baked one but they gave me the steamed one but it was good though😒) it was a little sweet…there wasn’t that much filling in it…but the flavor was a treat! egg custard tart for me…was not bad I wouldn’t try it from here again though 0/5 Spicy street noodle! Mix mix and dig in! Chili oil is on the bottom the noodles were bouncy and so good! Good fresh crunch from the cucumber all around my favorite. The scallion pancake..chewy in the middle, some burnt ends it wasn’t my favorite. There’s much more to try from the menu so I’ll be coming back😉 betcha!

Pretty good dim sum, but the service can be really slow. I walked in to place a take out order for two people, and ended up waiting almost an hour for my food. There was no where to sit so I just had to stand there the whole time. Now I pretty much only get this place delivered because I don't want to stand in a restaurant for a whole hour waiting again.

Service is great and the employees are kind, but the food itself isn’t that good. Images shown on the kiosk machine for food items we ordered were completely different from what we received. I think we may have gotten the wrong order. The food was stale and cold (in a microwaved way) and the lunch box tasted oilier and drier rather than flavorful. Egg custard buns were a let down and didn’t taste very good. Prices are cheap for California, but food was definitely not as good as reviews are saying. If you want something cheap and filling this spot is fine
