New Taste Dumpling House-Closed
New Taste Dumpling House
301 W. Valley Blvd., #110
San Gabriel
626-282-5953
New Taste was my second stop on the XLB tour, after going to
Happy Kitchen.
The beef rolls; $6.75, had a thicker pancake, but was cooked perfectly; light, flakey, and not oily. The beef was cooked well, tender and flavorful and they didn't overload the rolls with green onions.
The XLB's; $5.95, really lacked flavor and seasoning. I'm guessing this was frozen and then steamed, not fresh at all. I didn't care for this at all.
Service, is OK. They do not speak English but they try hard.
Now, how would I rank the four XLB in this shopping center? My favorite is Jin Jian, followed by Happy Kitchen, then Mei Long Village; with New Taste ranking last.
If New Taste sound familiar, it's the restaurant, where the former mayor of San Gabriel made a fool of himself, that lead to his resignation.
