I’ve been wanting to try out this place in such a long time and finally bit the bullet last week. Upon reading their extensive menu, we noticed a lot of similarities with DTF but at a slightly cheaper price point , plus short wait. Everything we ended up trying was solid! The xiao long bao had thin wrappers with a rich, flavorful broth inside — definitely some of the better ones I’ve had in the SGV. The beef rolls were flaky and crispy. The lobster abalone soup stole the show — it’s visually stunning and actually packed with deep seafood flavor. The sides rounded out the meal perfectly. Garlic string beans and honey walnut shrimp were delicious. Always a hit with our family. We left SO full and happy 😁
This place does get crowded, so highly recommend visiting earlier (closer to opening time).

Things started off well here, but went downhill when we got the bill and paid.
We were hoping to find another spot to frequent for our dumpling needs. Lots of things looked good on the menu and we settled on the following while thinking to try the rest next time:
* Popcorn chicken ($9.95) * Scallion pancake ($3.99) * Pork pan fried dumplings ($9.50) - comes with 8 pieces * Pork cutlet and egg fried rice ($14.95)
Everything was delicious. BF loved the tea and particularly the style of the teacups. It all changed when we were ready to pay. We got the bill and saw that they overcharged us $6.99 for the scallion pancake, which was more than what was on the menu. We told one of the employees and they said that the menu price was wrong and should've been crossed out with the right price. They refused to change it until we brought up how deceptive it is to charge a different price than what's given to us on the menu. If it was wrong on the menu, the onus is on them. They finally changed the price on our bill. However, after that, they avoided our table like the plague and we got weird vibes from them.
In summary, food was good and lots of potential here, but they just dropped the ball on service after they were called out for not honoring the prices on the menu they gave us.

If you don't know it's there, you'd miss it. No signage from East Valley Blvd. However, find it...and order up the scallion pancakes, the panfried pork buns...love their pork dumplings.. ..I accidentally ordered the beef steak cubes, wish I hadn't sent it back to the kitchen...it looked soooo yum. They corrected my order, didn't charge me for my misteak...and we got the popular beef upon noodles. I brought my very discerning foodie mom, and she loved the dumplings especially. Yay!! Now she wants to try more items the next time she wants to order. You order off a paper menu, service is friendly, a combating, and forgiving. Glad the staff got to eat my mistaken order, ans thank you for not charging me for my mistake. Mom approved place...we will return.

Another xlb ! We have been trying it all out .. surprising inside is quite nice ambiance because outside doesn’t look appealing.. you get 10 xlb and it is not sweet .. it is more savory which I like… pan fried bun is very juicy as well.. seems like there is wine in the filling..

Not your usual Dim Sum decor and services. A pleasant surprise. The foods, on the other hand, are mostly miss. Fried rice is good with a little Soy Sauce. The Chive/pork dumplings are flavorful but doughy. The Salt and Peppers pork chops are bland and the salt/peppers are rubbery.

This place is trying to be a Din Tai Fung alternative so I'll compare the food here to it.
- pork xlb was good and probably the best thing on the menu - crab xlb was dry and not good - spicy oil wontons were the most disappointing, tasted like they bought some frozen wontons and threw on some chili oil and peanuts and called it a day. Dtf ones are 10x better - scallion pancakes are average - Green beans were basic and not as good as dtf - red bean xlb dessert was also dry and no where near the quality of dtf - spicy cumber appetizer was terrible, did not taste marinated at all. I think they just cut up some cucumbers and put the oil on it
The service was pretty good. But the food was a huge miss. Do not recommend dining here

I understand it’s been a while since my visit to Prince Dumpling in Rosemead, but the customer service I received from Thomas resonated with me so much that it truly drove me to write this review even now.
The food itself was fantastic, but what made this experience the best I’ve ever had was the way Thomas went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and cared for. He was attentive, kind, and genuinely thoughtful with his recommendations, which made the meal even more enjoyable. His timing, professionalism, and warmth stood out in a way I’ll never forget.
It’s rare for a restaurant experience to stay with me long after, but Thomas’s exceptional service left such a lasting impression. Because of him, my visit to Prince Dumpling remains one of the most memorable dining experiences I’ve ever had.

Food is good and have a lot of choices from beef, pork, seafood, chicken, vegetarian They can also modify some of the dishes to your liking Waiters are friendly and fast
Probably the worst tasting Chinese food I’ve had. Chicken soup was bland and everything else was greasy or inauthentic. Only good thing was the Xiaolong Bao (only pork)

The food didn't taste bad, it's edible, but nothing impressed me.
Some food was a bit on the greasy side, and the portion was small for the price. Xiao Long Bao dough skin was excellent, holding all the soup filling without leaking. But the taste to me it's like the Costco microwave Xiao Long Bao. The service was good though.
In conclusion, if you like Ding Tai Fung, but want to find a cheaper version, you can come to this place, but I won't come here again.

We came to Prince Dumpling for my uncle and aunt’s wedding and had a wonderful time! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was impeccable! Sam and team took great care of us—they were so kind, attentive, and helpful. They made our experience so great for our family, we truly appreciate them! The ambiance is so nice, I’d totally come here for a date night and also bring my family back. If I lived closer I would DoorDash their food, it’s that good! Overall we are so happy we came here and can’t wait to come back. God bless this business! :)

I had a great experience at Prince Dumpling! The dumplings were good and juicy, with a nice crispy bottom and tender wrapper. You can really taste the freshness and quality in each bite. I especially loved the pork and chive — super flavorful and satisfying.
The portions were generous, the prices were reasonable, and service was quick and friendly. It’s a cozy spot that’s perfect for a casual meal with friends or family. If you’re a dumpling lover, this place is definitely worth checking out. I’d come back to try more!

We were immediately sat and the food was quick to arrive at our table! There were so many options!!! The food was amazing and definitely worth every single penny.
The inside has a luxury feel. The staff was very friendly and appeared excited to be here!
