This is a hard review to put into words... The food was satisfying and tasty but I would never go back unless there was nothing else open. We tried the chicken egg rolls - tasty, scallion pancake- tasty but thin and not a must have, Taiwanese fried chicken- just ok, braised pork and rice- just seasoned ground pork on rice and crab and pork soup dumplings- for the price point of $12.50 for 6, I'll just save my money and go to Din Tai Fung for a full dinner of all the yummy Din Tai stuff. And I honestly I feel like everything I had, besides the soup dumplings, I could make at home... but better. So yea... fine we did it and I'm satisfied and smiling but won't be doing jt again.
I love Chubby Cattle so when I was in the OC I had to go and visit Chubby Dumpling. I ordered the chicken (they ran out of pork) spicy wontons, the crab and pork xiaolongbao, and a few noodle dishes to go. It's fairly self service but there was a really nice guy at the counter answering my questions. They had bamboo shoots in a lot of things and were able to remove it on request since I'm allergic. The wontons were good. The xlb needs to be a bit soupier, but overall pretty good. The noodles were decent, but didn't reheat as well as I would have hoped. Overall I would come back if I needed a quick meal since it's cheap and fast!
The food was so delicious. The staff is amazing. The place is super clean and my food came out so fast, I didn't even have time to sit down after using the bathroom. Shout out to Xavier for helping me understand the menu and order what i wanted!
We were in the area on a visit to Disneyland, and wanted something not heavily battered and fried to a crisp. Chubby Dumplings offered something each member of our family could enjoy: noodle soup, plenty of dumplings, with a side of fresh veggies. We placed our order through their online ordering platform, and it was ready within 10-15 minutes. We didn't actually stay to eat, just came by and picked up our food. The restaurant was packed and they had plenty of to go orders lined up and ready to be picked up. Everything was delicious in its own little way, but I would for sure go back for their crispy scallion pancakes and wontons. The dry garlic noodles were a bit salty for our taste, but still edible! If you're looking for more authentic dishes, there's a Din Tai Fung in Downtown Disney. But if you're looking for convenience and a warm meal, Chubby Dumplings is the spot to go!
