101 Noodle Express - Alhambra

The savory soup is excellent, featuring hand-torn noodles and incredibly tender spare ribs. The pan-fried pork dumplings are also delicious and juicy.

This used to be one of my favorite spots for pork dumplings and soup dumplings (Shao long bao), but my experience changed today. I typically order beef chow mein, two pork dumplings, and a beef roll, accompanied by their special pickled Napa cabbage with jalapeños. Unfortunately, they were out of the pickled cabbage! My wife and I affectionately call it 'crack' because we love adding it to every dish for that burst of flavor and spicy kick from the jalapeños. Now, it feels like just another average dumpling place. I’ll give them 5 stars when the pickled cabbage returns, as it truly makes them stand out from the rest.

The noodles were of exceptional quality, and the dumplings were quite good as well. The beef roll was outstanding, bursting with fresh flavors from the cilantro. I can't wait to return and sample more of the menu.

The menu and service were ahead of my expectations. I truly enjoyed the atmosphere of this restaurant. Extraordinary spot to take the family out for dinner.

Let's start by saying wow the beef pancake is amazing, the dumplings themselves are well made. Love the pork . The crab dumplings ware a big miss. The fried dumplings ware outstanding. I recommend this place if you want to eat authentic dumplings.
