1st Dumpling & Noodle 9335 Monte Vista Avenue, Montclair, CA 91763

"11/04/23 Upon arriving to the restaurant, we had to Check In to their Yelp Check In. We waited about 10 minutes or so. It looks like they were short staff this particular night. However, the food we ordered came in a timely manner and they were really good."

"Food was delicious and reasonably priced!! We loved the beef shichuan noodles the most!! The pork shao long bao and fried beef rolls were also very tasty. Good service, even better food."

"Soup dumplings were really good, Also enjoyed the huge the shrimp that came with the shrimp fried rice. We got our food fast too so all an all really great meal."

"They tried hard but service was a little bit unorganized and not sure if they were understaffed or new staff. They kept forgetting to get us stuff including chopsticks and ginger. Unfortunately the food wasn't that much better. We got the crushed cucumbers, the Dan Dan mein, xlbs and BBQ pork. Everything we seem to lack a little punch and I'm on a low sodium diet so it wasn't the lack of salt. My friend said they needed msg lol. It was almost as if the dishes were taken from a YouTube video made by average cooks. But the Cha siu was good as well as the presentation."

"Nice atmosphere and kind service. Pan fried pork bun and wonton soup was very good and fresh. The waitress and the owner was very nice and greeted everyone. Would recommend."
