I have only ordered to go from here but their pan fried buns are amazing! When delivered, the buns are still steaming hot and very juicy. We also tried their shrimp fried rice and it was surprisingly good. There aren't too many good Chinese restaurants west of LA but this will become one of my regular take out places!

Honestly one of the best pan fried dumplings I have ever tried, the beef was incredible and all were amazingly juicy. My partner and I picked up these dumplings on Thanksgiving as they were one of the only restaurants in the area available and they did not disappoint. We have yet to find a place with pan fried dumplings as good as these

I was on a student thesis set and we ordered from here for lunch. Food was always fresh and service was very prompt. My favorite was the seafood pancake and beef rolls. I would definitely order from here again!

My group had the chow mein, beef pancake, scallion pancake, a few of their dumpling options, and cucumbers. We placed a big group order for my thesis film and it's safe to say that everyone was very satisfied - I personally really liked the cucumbers and the beef pancakes. I'll definitely be back some time to try out other items on their menu!

Little Pan gratefully catered a student film set I was on recently and the food was great! As a vegetarian, I was super impressed by their options like the scallion pancakes. Everyone else loved it too - a group hit! Will be back.

We ordered from Little Pan to feed a student film thesis project, and could not be happier. We ordered two meals for 14 people, and Camellia was a pleasure to collaborate with. They were extremely responsive, transparent about group pricing, and our food was always prepared on time (usually earlier too). With our group orders, we were able to accommodate multiple dietary restrictions, including vegetarians, lactose, and nut-free. My team especially enjoyed the pan fried dumplings, shrimp and leek dumplings, and beef pancakes. Everyone had multiple refills and was very satisfied with the meals all around! I am excited to order from Little Pan again.

Stopped by this place after visiting the natural history museum and it was delicious! We ordered the house special pan fried dumplings, oxtail soup with tomato and beef rolls. Didn't wait too long for our meal and everything was super hot. We were told the dumplings were hand made which is great! The only con here is probably parking but definitely a great food option if you're in the area.

Delicious dumplings. Quick service and open pretty early! I would certainly go back again

First impression is that the place is meant for mostly to go and serving students. That is because they are located across from USC campus. However don't let this quaint place fool you. The food really packs a punch. It can get busy with students coming here. The staff really are dedicate to getting your food asap. They have a wide selections of pan fried buns filled with different type of meats, flavors and veggies. You can get from shrimp and pork to curry flavor buns that are pan fried to crispy perfection. The juices inside these buns are just insanely delicious. They have a sauce bar for customers to build their own dipping sauce. What we ordered: house special pork, shrimp and lean pork and curry buns. We also ordered mini pan fried buns that come in a bowl that snaps onto your soda cup. This makes it convenient for anyone to carry it while eating and sipping on your favorite soda. They also have a variety of other dishes and noodles to choose from. Pro-tip: don't sleep on their seafood pancakes. These are arguably the best I've had.
Loved this spot. All the buns I tried were delicious fresh and flavorful. The service was quick and organized well. The place looks really cute as well.

I ordered Dan Dan Noodles, beef pancakes, shrimp leek and pork pan fried buns, and beef dumplings. The dumplings and buns were good but my favorites are the Dan Dan noodles and beef pancakes. Beef pancakes are my new favorite food right now and this one was delicious. The pancake was flaky yet chewy. There was a lot of cilantro in them which I didn't mind. The Dan Dan noodles was so flavorful. Savoriness from the sesame, peanuts, and ground pork. Spice from the chili oil. Tanginess from the vinegar. There was even sweetness to it. So many flavors but they were all balanced perfectly. A little expensive for me but I would say well worth it.

I used to like this place and brought whole family here before until today I ordered something to go but when picking it up, I asked them if I could dine in instead. The answer was NO, it's not allowed. Then I asked can I dine in if I order other dishes? The answer is still 'NO, you can not eat here because there are only 3 tables.' Excuse me??? Fine. I will never come back any more.

Great taste and excellent texture. The store is a little small and I found the price to be pretty high ($14 for 6 pan-fried buns). They include a cool little reusable bag with each order.

The place is cute inside, but small. The workers were nice and seemed like it is family owned by the way the girl in front was talking to the other workers. I ordered the house special combo and it came out to about $20 dollars which I believe it's a bit overpriced. Cucumber was good, but the dumplings were very bready and not pan fried and crispy how I expected.
