Dean Sin World

Monterey Park, CA

Where as Din Tai Fung is probably the most well known dumpling house in the LA area,  Dean Sin World is one of those hole in the wall places with four tables and really cheap prices. 

Steamed pork dumpling 

Xiao Long Bao (steamed pork dumpling) is one of those items that is beloved when you find a place that makes them perfectly. They're not perfect at Dean Sin World, but they're pretty good and really cheap. They don't speak English or Cantonese here, so communicating may be difficult, but the owner always has a smile on her face.

Beef Noodle Soup

Pan Fried Bun

The shengjianbao (pan fried bun) combines a soft steam bun thats been pan fried on the bottom making it a nice textural contrast. Filled with a pork meat filling, its quickly becoming of my favorite things to order.

Beef Roll

We ordered beef roll because I'm in love with it ever since having them at 101 noodle express. This one wasn't as good as the one at 101, but it was still yummy. 

Dean Sin World is cheap, we got out of there for about 20 bucks, and filling. It's small and may be difficult for you to communicate, but it's a good time.
