JA Jiaozi Authentic Dumplings

Unfortunately this place gave my husband and I diarrhea. Which is disappointing considering I liked their chicken mushroom oil dumplings. Their fried rice was salty but some bites were bland. I failed by ordering a Thai tea from here so that was my fault. The beef dumplings had a lot of onion and didn’t taste good to me. The chicken cabbage dumplings weren’t very good either. I had to keep flagging the server down to order more. Didn’t really come to check on us. For the price and experience we will no longer be dining there.

This was our first time coming here! Long overdue. Our server Adrian S was so very nice! Not to mention all the other servers who stopped by the table. They were also so friendly! We got the stir fried string beans, the chicken and mushroom steamed Jiaozi, The pan-fried kurobuta pork and celery Jiaozi, plum braised pork belly, spicy boneless chicken, the crispy shrimp, the sweet and sour fish fillets and the beef fried rice with mushrooms, and cheese!! We have never had fried rice with cheese, and now we are going to dream of this delicious fried rice! But Holy Jiaozi!! All the food was so good. WE REALLY LOVED EVERYTHING! I have to give special mention to our favorites which were the beef fried rice, the sweet and sour fish fillets and the steamed chicken and mushroom dumplings. For drinks we got the thai milk tea, the jasmine green milk tea and the JA special milk tea which was a black tea with brown sugar I believe. The drinks were also delicious. I'm disappointed that I don't have the option here to add photos. If I could figure it out I will add them at a later date.

The dumpings are made fresh. The dumplings are good but I feel that they are a bit undercooked. I ordered the Shrimp Jioazi which was OK. It was not amazing and not horrible. The outside dough part and texture of the dumplings is good but the inside filling is another story. I ordered the roasted Angus beef skewers and after the first bite the "roasted" part sunk in to my kind. The Angus beef was soft and chewy at the same time. Meat quality used is average for the skewers. I also ordered the steamed beef and onion Jiaozi which was also average. The fillings used is what is average here. Staff were friendly and customer service was very good here. Update as of 03-08-2024 Teas are still bad. No good Chinese teas. Would be great if they turned bar area into a tea bar offering and serving great Chinese teas. They now do a better job on dumplings provided you ask them to cook longer. Hand made dumplings are very good. My favorite are the Scallops and shrimp ones. What would be great is if they had and made Wagyu beef dumplings for the pan fried ones like they have in Taiwan. What also would be good is if they got and offered better quality drinks and teas. The teas are horrible. Taiwan is famous for Great teas. Why not bring in some nice teas and offer them on the menu for customers who want great teas with their meals..? If they offered the Taiwan spinach for their stir fried spinach would be great also instead of the standard American spinach. The roasted Angus beef skewers is not so soft and tender. A better and softer beef would be great. I ordered a few times they gave up as meat quality was not so good. Need some Prime Beef for those Skewers. For the fried beans they should also use the French Beans instead of the standard regular green ones then they would be more gourmet and authentic like the ones in Taiwan. Coosemans in downtown LA supplies them for restaurants.

This place has more than dumplings. It offers many traditional Chinese dishes. The portions are small and expensive. However, the food is of good quality and very delicious. The service is top notch. A great place for a special occasion and for good quality food.

Superb spot for dumplings. Came here with work colleagues and service was quick and friendly.

One of the best Chinese restaurants we have been so far. Definitely in our top 3 for Chinese authentic cuisine. Their offer super tasty dumplings, sides dishes, rice and noodles. Staffs are able to accommodate you. The restaurant was very clean. The minus side was how strong the ac was.

Servings are a little small but the food tastes great.
