Went with family friends and loved what we got! Some people were hungrier than others but sharing was super easy with all dumplings delivered to the table. Steamed, fried, or soup - loved them all. Highly recommend the truffle ones.

Delicious food, trendy vibes, and great service. Easy five star rating. My family are huge dumplings fans even though I'm not so much. But I do love asian cuisine and always enjoy non-dumpling items on the menu. This restaurant did not disappoint. While my family raved about the delicious dumplings they scarfed down, I was enjoying the Crispy Shrimp (my fav!), Chow Mein, and Green Beans. Everything came out fast, smoking hot, and by friendly servers. We're all looking forward to going back very soon!

The waitlist was simple and easy, with food and service extremely quick. The JA special house milk tea (24oz) was not only a gigantic portion but incredibly delicious even with the option to use non-dairy creamer. The dumplings were all decent, along with the beef skewers. The string green beans were very tasty and would definitely get again. The ambiance was very comfortable and fitting for families!

All I have to say is wow! This place is never fails to impress. The food is amazing as well as the service. I could eat here over and over and over again.

We have not visited this place for a while and came here for lunch on Sunday. We got in a good day and time, no wait! They had a special combo contains 5 dishes and rice for 56 dollars; what a deal! We got to try some of their signature dishes all in one. I love the tofu skin, the pan fried dumplings and the pork belly! Very flavorful and fresh! The pork belly is a great dish with rice, rich, sweet, sour and salty all in one bites; great texture of the pork belly!

Very good dumpling place with an assortment of different dishes. I would recommend if you are looking to eat somewhere with a group of folks so that you can order a variety of food! There's options for everyone with different preferences. I saw the comparisons to din tai fung but feel both have different dishes and one isn't a replacement for the other. I will say though if you are wanting dumplings or Asian food but want to skip out on a wait, this is a good option outside of din tai fung. We ordered multiple different dumplings and they all tasted great with the right portion of filling to dough. They also had some great meat dishes with the roast duck as well as this one blackened pork dish. The prices were reasonable and didn't feel like we broke the bank after having a nice meal with family. The service was also good and restaurant was clean!

Loved the food! This might be another one of our new current favorite dumpling spots. We had the plum braised pork belly, fried rice, steamed Jiaozi combo, pan fried dumplings, and the stir fried egg plant! Staff was quick and it was a small cute casual spot. We went on a Friday and it wasn't as busy as I thought.

We visited at 6:30 pm on a Tuesday and were some of the first customers of the evening. Elegant plates and decor! The green tea was great with a strong floral scent but a typical green tea taste. It was served in an attractive stoneware mug with a striking wooden handle but did cost $6. They could have provided a side plate to hold the used teabag and offered a refill of hot water. Each teabag was huge, so my wife took hers home and reused it the next day! Liked the Peking duck pancakes appetizer: six thin pancakes each with a slice of duck. Minor glitch in service: we received the appetizer shortly after our entrees. Otherwise, the service was good, and friendly. Oddly, the dumpling entrées offered ten steamed dumplings or five fried dumplings for about the same price. One of us had ten chicken and mushroom steamed dumplings, the other had five pan-fried Kurobuta pork and celery dumplings. Great dumplings! The house specialty dipping sauce was quite good.

JA Jiaozi dumplings is one of those locations that you cannot sleep on ! This hidden gem is located in Irvine in a large shopping center . Even though the shopping center is fairly large it can sometimes be difficult finding parking so be aware but it's not that bad . The ambiance is upscale trendy Good place to take your significant other . This is my wife's and mine go to spot ! The service is impeccable! They are helpful and friendly ! The food tbh you cannot really go wrong with anything here everything is fresh and you could taste it right away ! Overall this is a must try spot if your around the area !
