Yes, they do serve in takeout containers, but they also tell you this as you're ordering, no big deal. The woman that greeted us and took our order was friendly, as was the lady that bought us the food. We ordered wonton in chili oil, pork hui tou, chicken and cilantro boiled dumplings, and xiao long bao. We both agreed the wonton in chili oil might have been some of the best we've had. Their chili oil is delicious and the wonton are not at all kind of sweet like they are elsewhere sometimes. The hui tou were juicy and nicely cooked. The chicken and cilantro dumplings were flavorful. The XLB were tasty, a little different than others we've had, in a good way. They didn't stick together and none broke, but we did miss having a bit of a bigger spoon. Nothing fancy but we didn't mind sitting there as the food was so good. It looked like most people were doing takeout as quite a few people came to pick up. We'll definitely be back to try the pan fried pork buns! Update: Came back a year later and it was much more sit-down. Full tables, dishes, real spoons, no takeout containers. The dumplings were still great. We tried the pan fried pork buns and they were also flavorful with a nice crispy bottom.

Small dumpling shop with seating inside and outside. Ordered a bit of everything, soup dumplings, pot stickers, seafood soup and it was all good. Soup is a family size portion with lots of noodles, shrimp, white fish and greens, tasty! Will come back, everything was delicious!

This place is takeout only, it’s still worth it. I was hoping to dine in but they didn’t offer that. I can understand since the pandemic things are changing. We got it all to go and bought some drinks at Paris baguette and I usually don’t do this but we ate at the table there and cleaned up after ourselves when we were done. Now to the food, the hui tou dumplings are fantastic, one of the best dumplings I have ever had. Beef noodle soup is really good, texture of handmade noodle is nice and chewy. Woodear mushrooms are great and they give a big portion. Spicy wonton dumplings were solid too. I plan to try all the dumpling spots in sgv and Rowland heights, this place beats bafang dumplings.

We stopped by on a Sunday for lunch and managed to snag seats for the five of us. The space is pretty small, but there's parking and a bathroom available. I got the sesame noodles and we split the pan fried buns. I really enjoyed the flavors and textures, and you can tell they make it fresh. They serve the food in plastic takeout containers, and there's bottled water available for purchase so if you're dining in, you're welcome to bring your own drink.

Read an article from the LA times about the best dumplings in San Gabriel Valley. Come across Hui Tou Xiang, I have been going to that plaza for a long time, but never occur to me to try this place. I tried all other restaurants except this. But today, I am determined to give it a try, and WOW!!!! Their dumplings are amazing, I ordered Pork and Leek Pancakes, Pork Potstickers, Fish Potstickers, Pork Xiao Long Bao and Spicy Mixed Noodles. My wife and son absolutely loved them. My son usually doesn't eat leek, but he actually wants to try the pork leek pancake and falls in love with it. My wife and I are amazed. According to him, the no. 1 is Xiao Long Bao, no. 2 is Pork and Leek Pancakes, no. 3 Fish Potstickers and no. 4 is the Pork Potstickers.

The food here is phenomenal. The dumplings, wontons, and pot stickers rival the famous Dinh Tai Fung (honestly, Hui Tou Xiang makes them even better) and at much more affordable prices. They do only serve the food in to-go containers, but they still allow dine-in.
