One One Dumpling

One One Dumpling in San Gabriel is definitely a hidden gem in the SGV. This small and unassuming restaurant may be easy to miss, but its delicious food is worth the effort to seek it out. As mentioned in other reviews, the hours can be a bit tricky to navigate, so make sure to plan ahead before you go.

The menu is simple, with only two categories: dumplings and noodle soup. But don't let the simplicity fool you - the quality of the food is outstanding. The chive and pork dumplings are a standout when fried, with the perfect combination of flavors and textures. For those who prefer boiled dumplings, the cabbage and pork is a great option. The chili oil that comes with the dumplings is tasty, though some may prefer it to have a bit more umami flavor.

If you're in the mood for something warm and comforting, the noodle soups are also a great option. The beef tendon soup is a popular choice, with a simple and clean broth that complements the tender and flavorful beef tendon.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is cozy and intimate, with only about 20 seats available. It definitely has a mom-and-pop shop feel, which adds to the charm. Service is friendly and efficient, and the prices are very reasonable - though you'll need to have cash. Just make sure to check the hours and plan accordingly, as it's definitely worth the effort to try.

Probably one of my top 3 dumplings spots in the area (along with Long Xing and You Kitchen). I definitely thought their friend stuff are better than their steamed or boiled ones in comparison to the other places. Their beef noodle is pretty mediocre so focus on the dumplings when you go here.

We had the beef stew noodles, the juicy pork dumplings, the pork cabbage and shrimp dumplings. It was good! The pork cabbage shrimp was the best thing they had. The only problem I had with juicy pork was the outside wrap portion was little too thick and tough for my taste. I love the mama luus dumpling and din tai fung juicy porka dumplings so this one was a tough one to like. The beef stew noodles were yummy though!! Lots of beef in there and topped with bok choy.
WARNING they only take cash so bring cash!!

One One Dumpling is probably my go to spot for affordable and delicious dumplings + noodle combo!! I've been going to this gem for over ten years, when their combo's were about $5. My parents and I always reference Luscious Dumplings as the $5 combo because it's been that long since they've been around the SGV. I believe they've been around for about 13 years and within those 13 years, they have yet to disappoint me once. I always crave their pan-fried dumplings because it's just different from the other restuarants in the neighborhood. I recommend that you simply get the Fried Pork Dumpling and Chive, Pork, Egg, Glass Noodle Fried Dumpling. If I could, I would eat plates of those alone. Also, their beef tendon noodle soup is amazing. One One Dumplings will not disappoint and it's always nice to change it up from soup dumplings.

Small shop with comforting food. I ordered the beef stew noodle soup with the pan fried pork dumplings (not pictured because I ate it all before I remembered to snap a photo) the noodles are more on the firm and chewy side ( which I prefer :)) so it was yummy. I would highly recommend the pan fried dumplings, a little bit oily but super good!!

Good value for lunch, where you can get a regular bowl of noodle soup and a half order of dumplings for $8.50. Noodle soup came out super fast (within 5 minutes of ordering) and the dumplings came out maybe 15-20 minutes later. The soup is thin and light, with decent enough flavor and the noodles are alright too, with a little bit of a chew to them. The beef is pretty tender and you get a good amount of it. Dumplings are good too, and next time I'll definitely try the pan fried ones.

This is a good place for simple no frills noodles and dumplings. Order the combo, and you can get one noodle dish and five dumplings. The noodle portions are generous so you'll be full after ordering the he combo. The flavored stew beef and the pork and shrimp dumplings were my favorite.

I have been here twice in less than a month. I came for dinner on a Saturday right around 630pm-7pm and they already had run out of a lot of the dumplings & noodles on their menu so we were limited. We came for lunch instead to make sure we get to try the dumplings we wanted. We came around 1130am and there was no wait and they had full menu. We got the soup dumpling and the noodle & dumpling combination. The combo is a great value since you get both for half the price. We got the beef brisket noodles, soup dumpling and pan fried noodles. All delicious! The soup dumpling is not the same as DTF kind, it's like regular chinese dumplings. The owners/staffers are quick, attentive and surprisingly friendly. I heard them speak both mandarin and cantonese. Each time i came they were responsive to our questions since we werent familiar with the menu. Food comes quick so we were done in about 30-45 mins. Parking can be a bit limited but there's street parking. Make sure to have CASH! Also make sure to check their hours since they do close early and between lunch and dinner. I noticed they like playing sports on their mini tv.
