Iron Teapot Dim Sum & Bar

Heart broken that they appear to be closed. This was our favorite spot in L.A. for father son time. Really hope this is a temporary setback and they reopen soon.

Drove from Orange County and they were closed with a note on the door, wish they had posted online somewhere.

Food was fantastic. The server is the best I have come across. Lot of vegan options too. Strongly recommend.

Food was pretty good but not so the service. It was a Sunday afternoon around 3 pm. The restaurant had very few customers. It took almost 10 minutes to get a menu (I actually had to ask for it.) Another 10 minutes to get my order in...the waiter was talking to other customers at the bar the whole time. I don't think I'll return again.

Service and food were exceptional! I had one very nice Tequila shooter. This could become an excellent and regular early afternoon luncheon and gathering hot spot!

BEWARE OF ‘B’ HEALTH RATING! ? The quality of this place has diminished since it’s opening, so I wasn’t all that surprised when I noticed the B rating in the window (from Sep’23). I won’t return until it’s back to an A.

For those prices there are better options in L.A. The dimsum are just average in my opinion.

We never received the very first item we ordered. Our waiter had suggested it. During our meal, we repeatedly asked the waiter about the missing dish and he kept telling us that he would check on it. Finally, an hour and a half later he told us that the restaurant wasn't serving that dish because they were lacking one of the ingredients. When we received the bill, we gave our waiter 2 credit cards to split the check. We were then given 1 receipt. Apparently, they charged our 2 cards without our signatures and without our being able to add a tip. We were told we could leave a cash tip. Very strange. We did enjoy our meal and the food was very good.

Second time coming here and I have to say I am as disappointed as when I visited back when the place opened. Food was underwhelming for the price, and the wait time was horrendous despite being seated as soon as we entered.We were never offered a menu, so we had to steal it from the neighboring table. Same for the requested chopsticks, and the additional chili oil. Also thankful I ordered a pot of tea because we did not get the water we were offered until the end of our meal.I understanding wanting to provide an “upscale” dim sum experience but the quality of the food and service should reflect the price you expect customers to pay. Time is also valuable and we ended up feeling like hostages trying to get our server’s attention. Definitely could’ve left at least 30 minutes earlier if we had had more attentive service.

I loved this restaurant. The guy who works here is so nice! Also food is very tasty. There is cat robot brings foods to the table. I strongly recommend you to go here because I already want to go back to the food.

We went for happy hour and learned there were only 3 cocktails on the menu. Then we decided to order a bottle of wine from the menu and they did not actually have it. Then we had a man come from off the street up (wearing an ankle monitor) to our table and stick his hand out to ask for money. Then he proceeded to ask the people at the table behind us. It was disconcerting to have him come right up to us like he did. We did not feel safe at that point on top of the trouble with getting a drink that we wanted, so we left. The waiter had a great disposition though and understood why we opted to leave.

The Xiao Long Bao were also delicious, with a flavorful soup inside. The Steamed Pork Buns were soft and fluffy, with a savory filling.
