Lao Bei Fang Dumpling House

Lao Bei is such a nice spot to get a quick lunch or dinner! The prices are low and the amount of food you get is insane. If you are a dumpling fan, their dumplings are different than gyoza that other places have; it has a much thicker skin and definitely feels heartier. The noodles are hand-pulled and have the perfect texture, and they do not skimp on the toppings. There is chili oil on every table that you can feel free to add on, I think it adds a very nice flavor to it. They also sell packs of 50 frozen dumplings, I try to make sure I always have them in stock when I come. The only thing is that the boiled dumplings do take a bit of time to come out, which is probably because they cooked to order; not a complaint but just an FYI in case you are limited on time.

One of the best Dumplings and Beef Noodle Soup I've ever had. Dumplings are like $5 for 8, and it's not of those small dumplings, it's huge and very meaty. The noodles were great, it is made in front of you. Soup was great. It was flavorful, not too salty nor too powerful. If I am around the area, I will definitely stop by again.

Best option for cheap eats in the neighborhood. Dumplings is our favorite here. The place can get a little messy sometimes but it’s not a big issue for us, we came here for their food. -Dumplings (5/5) affordable, tasty and fresh most of the time. -House special noodle soup (4.5/5) They kinda lessen the portion of the meat but the taste and texture are consistent for the noodles and broth.

The beef stew noodles are good Dumplings are good.. the dough is a little thick for my liking but still good Had their hot and spicy soup with noodles, malatang, it was good but i wish u can pick and choose the ingredients bcuz i didnt eat half the things in there lol, however they do advertise whats in it so thats all on me

Looks can be deceiving. Both exterior and interior is nothing to brag about, simply look like many other take out joint with some tables scattered but the amount of foot traffic is insane and many for their famous Pork & Leek Potstickers. They do serve noodles and such but the main event are the Potstickers These potstickers are made in huge batches and since so many people buy (sold in increments of 4), they are always fresh, hot, juicy with perfect golden crispy crust. Don’t forget the hot oil and dumpling sauce. This is definitely a must try if you’re in Elmhurst area. Street parking after 7pm is easier and free. There’s no tipping and it’s self service. Cheapest and best bang for your buck in the area.

I am in LOVE. This place is such a gem. If you want good, hearty Chinese food, this is the place to go. Not only was the food PHENOMENAL, the prices were unbeatable. The portions are more than generous. My soup was so packed with different toppings that it took me a minute to find the actual noodles. The dumplings were so fresh! You could see the chef hand-making the dumplings. I seriously can’t wait to come back here.
