Omg. This place is so good. I've dined in and ordered to-go - both were equally great. The last time I dined here, we ordered the following: -pork & shrimp xlb ($13.99 for 10 pcs) -pan fried chicken & corn dumplings ($12.99) -house special stir fry udon ($15.99) The xbl, by and large, is one of the best versions I've eaten around these parts and I've eaten many. The dumpling skin delicately holds all the soup. Not only that, they use a big ole piece of shrimp in the filling. You can't go wrong with any of their stir fry noodles. The noodles noodle hard - they're bouncy and the sauce holds so much flavor. They don't skimp on the toppings either. Cucumbers are great. Pan fried dumplings are great. Everything I've ordered thus far has been superb. Don't be deterred by the name - 1st Dumpling N Noodle makes very excellent dumplings and noodles. Why they're located on the outskirts of a lonely mall is a mystery to me.

Amazing food! We stopped by spontaneously, it's sort of easy to miss if you're speeding by Monte Vista. But the dumplings, soup and sesame balls are fantastic. Definitely adding this to our regular rotation. Hot tip - you can get a smaller order of the soup than large. They also have vegetarian options.

Yummy Xiaolongbao! The skin is thin, slightly chewy and filled with soup. Come try and you won't be disappointed.

You won't regret coming here! The food, service and quality are all great. We ordered several dishes but the best were the spicy noodles, the orange chicken, the garlic green beans and kung pao chicken. Area is spacious, super clean and if you sit in the west side of the restaurant you can see the cooks as they prepare the food. Great local place for lunch or dinner and prices are very reasonable.

This was my fiancé's first dumping experience so it was only fitting going here. We ordered the pork & shrimp xiolongbao, shrimp sui mai, & bbq pork bun. The dumplings were filling and tasty definitely paired with their spicy vinegar and chili oil! The service was great we got a table right away and our server was very kind. My favorite were the xiolongbao and shrimp sui mai. The steamed bbq pork buns were alright it was more sauce heavy than meat filled but we still enjoyed it. We were going to order an entree plate like the big backs we are but thank goodness we didn't, because we were so stuffed. Safe to say, We'll be back to round two!

I wanted to try a place a bit closer to home that had string beans and was able to find this place on Yelp with great reviews. I ordered the stir fried strings beans and pan fried beef rolls. They were both delicious and I would definitely come here again to try other dishes. They didn't have a to go menu and need to remind them to give me utensils since they didn't give me any for some reason. The staff were friendly and helpful. There is tons of parking since it's in a plaza.
