Dumpling Mix — Restaurant in Redondo Beach

We were excited to try out this new dumpling place and were not disappointed.

Food: everything we ordered was pretty good. We ordered and tried a lot of different things so we can bring some home. Prices are slightly above average but not outrageous in today’s scales.

Dumplings: we tried the surf & turf pan fried, it took a while to serve, though it was worth the wait. There were 8 (small) pieces and they tasted very good!

Scallion Pan Cake: very nicely made, we liked it

Noodles: braised beef noodles soup, we liked the thick al dente noodles, and I liked the thick beef (my wife would prefer them to be smaller), the preserved vegetables were excellent, and soup was fine.

Beef roll: pretty tasty with a little flaky skin

Lettuce w/ Garlic, I loved it but not sure if people would pay $15 for a lettuce dish, ha ha

Cucumbers had a nice presentation, crunch and fresh, with pretty good sauce

The atmosphere is nice and new, the ordering is via QR code and directly so it’s fast and efficient, and there is no need to wait for the staff.

The staff is new, they were pretty focused on the basic stuff like delivering the food, getting water, etc, not so much socializing and interaction. Generally, the newer style of self ordering and minimal service which is ok with us.

Parking: plenty of free parking in this...

Happy to find a new authentic Chinese place open up in the neighborhood. Nice spacious interior. Servers were attentive, we were seated quickly. The menu needs to be scanned from a QR code, but wasn't really an issue for us.

Food today really hit the spot, especially the sesame noodles, just the right chewiness. A flavor I always missed since moving to the area.

The pan fried chicken&corn dumplings were also great and worth the wait, personally prefer it over the boiled dumpling, which wasn't bad, just more like your typical dumpling.

The popcorn chicken was the authentic Taiwanese batter outside and juicy inside, my kid loved it. The sausage looked like it was pre-cut and fried, the taste was good, just not used to the shriveled appearance. But kid also loved it, clean plate!

The seasoned cucumber was refreshing, cold and crunchy. I did end up dipping the sauce to get some more flavor, probably just needed a bit more time in the marinade.

All in all a solid experience! Definitely coming back with friends to try out the...

Their service is horrible, did not even greet us when we sat down to explain how to QR Code order or if we had any questions about how to order. Only one person from your party can order form their QR code menu online. This is so confusing. They completely messed up our order, gave us take out food that we ordered dining in. So that means their QR code menu leads you to a take out menu. We even called them while inside the restaurant to tell them we were dining in. They still fd up our order. By the time we got our food in take out containers, it was cold. We had to ask them 5 times for our tea. They gave us someone else's appetizer then said they made a mistake and it wasn't ours, then tried to blame us that we ate it. We gave them a $10 tip and they didn't even try to correct the unprofessional mistakes they made. This place won't last long in...
