I tried this place while in the area for work. The waitress was very helpful as I had never been and helped me pick out some items on the menu. The food was great and the service was impeccable. I wished they had one where I lived.

The food was Absolutely delicious! This place is a gem in Manhattan Beach. The service was amazing as well. We didn't know what to expect and it is now one of our favorite places!
I am sympathetic to the servers and kitchen staff. We ordered food that took way too long to arrive, was either cold or prepared incorrectly. They did their best to make it right but our kids were starving at that point and the food was just ok. I'd skip it next time.

Irene hands down I’d the best bartender I’ve ever had. Very accommodating and pleasant. The cheese steak wontons are great too.

We were hoping we had a great ramen place locally but no so...or not yet. Food was meh, staff was clearly inexperienced. Need to step up their game fast if they are going to survive.

Phenomenal restaurant with the perfect asian fusion. Food is always delicious and fresh. The head chef is on top of her game.My personal favorite dishes are the manhattan meat sliders and cheese steak dumplings. All fish dishes are superb as well.

Loved this place! A new favorite. The cheesesteak dumplings sounded really weird but so glad I tried. BBQ pork was also yummy. It was all really good. You gotta try this place!

I went for walk to Manhattan beach then looked for a place to eat around and found this little cozy place! I got a spicy noodle soup and soup dumplings! It was delicious! The soup dumplings were interesting to eat! The noodle soup was very good! They have a bar section which people seemed to enjoy!Must try! Specially during cold weather! The soup does good!

Emily was the best bartender we have ever had. She made the experience so enjoyable. The food was fantastic! We can’t wait to come back again soon! Thank you Emily for your kindness and attention to detail!

Interesting menu. Had a glass of red in the bar before heading to the beach to see the sunset. Bartender is great, Amber, thanks. Might come back for some ramen!
I ordered “steamed pork belly buns & steamed shiitake mushroom buns”at Pado dumpling & noodle bar today. What came out of their kitchen was NOT steamed “stuffing wrapped inside dough”. It was “steamed dough wrap” around mostly salad, dressing & a little bit of pork belly & shiitake mushroom pieces. It is the most misleading name for the dish which is not only mediocre but also overpriced ($6.00 for each dough wrap). If your chef’s intention was to be creative in cooking, change its name to reflect it like “steamed dough wrap”. But never call it “steamed bun” which is traditionally used in Chinese & Korean culinary art to mean “steamed stuffing wrapped inside dough”.

It’s not bad if you are jonesing for Asian food in this area. The tonkatsu ramen might be a skip if you are Asian. The spicy tan tan was the better ramen for a kick and flavor. The potstickers were awesome. The salad with citrus dressing was great too. The kimchi fried rice was my favorite.

Amazing! Had the cheese steak dumplings, xao lang bao, tan-tan ramen and wow. Just perfect! And great service to boot. Definitely don't skip trying this place it's a gem

You are missing out if you don't visit Pa-Do. After your first visit, I can promise that it won't be your last! The food is insanely amazing. Each dish has a modern take on traditional cuisine and all of the dishes somehow perfectly compliment each other.

Philly Cheesesteak Dumplings and the green beans were top notch! Xiao Long Bao was also very tasty. Friendly service. Going to keep this one in the rotation for sure.
