Kingburg Kitchen

Yummy Taiwanese dumplings and soups! They also have frozen dumplings to make at home. Very welcoming and cozy staff and restaurant.

Really really good scallion pancake and fish dumplings (I got them pan fried). Pork, cabbage, and shrimp dumplings (steamed) were very good as well with chewy thick homemade dumpling wrapper.

Used to be my favorite dumpling place. But the past few times, both food and service had been inconsistent. Always quoted 25 min wait but had to wait way longer. And sometimes food came undercooked. I haven't visited the restaurant this year due to previous experiences.

One of the visit was especially disappointing. We were quoted for 20 min wait. We arrived at that time and paid. Then was told they were out of one of the dishes we ordered. They wouldn't let us cancel that one dish because "we already paid", which was kinda strange. Why not let us know before we paid then? Anyways, at the end, we waited for almost an hour standing outside of the store. When we finally took the food home, two of the dishes (beef cake and pan fried buns) were both raw at the center.

Just some quick notes:

The photos posted were from awhile back. Some photos were uploaded way back in 2016 on my first visit. The sausage fried rice was uploaded from 2021/2022 ish I think? I haven't took photos for this place for a while, since we usually eat at friends' place and I only take photos when I'm with family.

I always place orders directly through the restaurant. I understand how busy kitchen can get during rush hours and I don't mind waiting for fresh food, in fact, that's preferred. I love hot and delicious food coming right outta kitchen. But I do mind waiting the additional 20-40min on top of the quoted time, especially during my lunch break. I also mind when my food was undercooked and raw after a long wait.

We just happened to stumble upon this little restaurant. Very old school set up and authentic Taiwanese dishes. They make the dumplings, buns and noodles fresh and you can taste that difference. We've been coming here second week straight and now plan on coming here once a week.

Also, while you're here try the boba tea from next door, they stay make the boba fresh and it is better than the ready made bobas. You won't be disappointed.

I like their vegetarian dumplings with bean curd cold dish. I like how they're hot and sour soup as well. I have been going there for a long time, probably 10 years? So tasty

It is surely a hidden gem! I've been to here a couple of times, each time there weren't many customers... May be 2 to 3 tables... But the food is no complaints! The ingredients in the fried bun is fresh and solid, and it's pan fried to crispy. The hot and sour soup is very authentic .. dumplings, stewed seaweed, sausages... Many side dishes are good.

And in the current inflation, the price of all dishes are extremely reasonable. Although the ambiance is very old fashioned but they don't need anything fancy.

I also bought a bag (50) of frozen dumplings and they surely look good.

很多時候我們需要多一點的勇氣，去堅定自己的選擇，因為有些記憶註定無法抹去，就像有些人，此生都無法代替～

本來是想要去吃金葉台菜， 到時才知道他們只做外賣， 所以才有機會走到旁邊的這家面館，金寶美食坊試試，看到菜單時有點驚訝， 價格比羅蘭崗便宜很多，尤其是我五元的雞湯，等他們端上來的時候，我又再次確認了一次這一大碗$5？可能我很常外食，被漲的一踏糊塗的價格 嚇到太多次，後來又點了海帶，豬耳，牛肉麵，台灣香腸，沒有說好吃到另我驚艷，但每道菜也都中規中矩的， 都是台灣的口味，朋友還外帶蔥油餅，紅油抄手，韭菜盒子，通通加起來才 70 幾元，應該是今年兩個月來，覺得最便宜的餐館，尤其是同一天晚上我去吃了700 元的晚餐， 十倍的價差，差異性太大，更令我覺得這樣的餐廳實屬不易

Just wanted to give a big shout-out to Kingburg Kitchen! Ordered their wheaten foods for my private party, and everyone Loved their dishes. Their hand-made dumplings, noodles, and fried buns were a hit - tasty, fresh, and just downright scrumptious.

Place is the best dumplings in San gabriel. At lease one of them they are the best and juiciest . Menu is reasonable . And I can't stress how friendly and clean the staff and restaurant is. I would Def. Xomw back here

Got take out several months ago. At that time was take out only. Good, simple Taiwanese food

A bizarre experience when my family and I dined with Kingburg.

First of all, food was okay at best. Pan-fried items were on the burnt side which caused some health concerns. Noodle was good assuming what they advertise is true that they make their own dough and noodle. Food-wise, the price is fair according to the current market.

What made me frustrated was the service. We were served with an order of scallion pancake. Given that we were a big party, naturally we started eating. While I was feeding my daughter, the waitress came and said she had served the scallion pancake to the wrong table and proceeded to ask us if we want to replace our other order with this pancake. I declined and asked her to serve us the other order when it is ready. She then replied, in mandarin, if we can pay for the scallion pancake. I replied calmly," sorry, but that's not my problem." She seemed agitated and asked all of us to put the scallion pancake in our hands and mouth back onto the plate. I was shocked. Later, I overheard the table next to us asking the same waitress if she had served them the same scallion pancake that she just took away from us.

The three stars for the food, but negative one star for the service resulting in a 2-star review.

This place has been around for a while and I hope the owner can somehow manage to improve the service side.
