About iHome Kitchen Chinese Dumpling House (Beverly)

For local users in US interested in exploring Chinese restaurants in the Beverly Hills area of Los Angeles, iHome Kitchen offers a specific focus on dumplings.

Environment: One positive review describes the restaurant as a "great spot to chill" with "super chill vibes from the staff." However, another review, while mentioning a previous pleasant experience, does not provide details about the current environment. The ordering process involves scanning a QR code, and customers are expected to pack their own food and check out at the counter, suggesting a more casual, potentially self-service oriented setup.

Services: The service appears to have mixed feedback. One customer described the service as "on point" and quick. However, another customer reported a negative experience with a waiter who was not communicative, poured self-service water unrequested, and allegedly added a tip without consent during checkout. This review also suggests a degree of self-service is expected, as customers scan a QR code to order and pack their own food.

Features: The restaurant's name and a positive review highlight their dumplings as a key feature, with one customer describing them as "amazing, so juicy and flavorful" and "bomb." However, a more critical review stated that the food tasted "not great" and noted that the dumplings were broken. This indicates a potential inconsistency in food quality.

Promotional Information: There is no specific promotional information mentioned in the provided reviews. The positive review recommending the dumplings could be seen as an implicit endorsement of a featured item.

For local users in US considering Chinese restaurants in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, iHome Kitchen Chinese Dumpling House (Beverly) offers a focus on dumplings and a Northern-style menu. While one review enthusiastically praised the delicious and juicy dumplings and the chill atmosphere, another customer reported significant issues with both the food quality (broken dumplings, not great taste) and dishonest tipping practices. Given the conflicting feedback, it may be prudent to consider these points when deciding whether to visit. The self-service ordering and packing are also notable aspects of their service model.

Northern Cafe is fire! The dumplings were amazing, so juicy and flavorful. Service was on point, super chill vibes from the staff, and they were quick with everything. If you're craving bomb dumplings and a great spot to chill, this is it. Totally worth the hype, no cap! Will be going back again soon!

Dishonest Tipping Practice I’ve been to this northern café in Beverly Hills before with my white husband and had a pleasant experience, so I decided to take my parents visiting from Beijing. Unfortunately, this time was very different. The waiter didn’t greet us or offer any conversation. We didn’t need his help for the self-service water, but he poured it for us anyway and then walked away. At other northern-style cafes, tipping isn’t expected since it’s mostly self-serve. Here, you scan a QR code to order, pack your own food, and check out at the counter. When it was time to pay, I noticed the waiter had already selected a tip for me without my consent. The only words he spoke were asking me to swipe, and when I questioned why the tip was already included, he seemed irritated and just told me to sign. I didn’t want to make a scene in front of my parents, but this felt like tip fraud. Also the food tasted not great, you can see the dumplings were broken. I’d appreciate a response from the owner about whether this is standard practice and a partial refund of my tip. If it is, it’s even more concerning. Update: the owner simply would like to deny other than checking the camera. I have uploaded My receipt picture already and they chose to deny. Read previous reviews pls this happened more than once

I was craving dim sum so bad but didn’t want to travel too far out… I came across this restaurant after shopping in CVS. It was the perfect stop for solo eating and helped my craving for Chinese food. I ordered the chicken soup dumplings and made my own sauce at the table. I would definitely come back here the staff was super friendly and it’s chill. Love it.

An authentic Taiwanese style noodle place in Good Asian Food Desert of Beverly Hills lol. I noticed they are back to serving beef noodle with chunks of beef like it should be. For a period I recall they started serving the beef in thin slices like you see with Japanese ramen. Glad they are back to the classic style.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Northern Cafe, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The service was outstanding; the staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and efficient. They made sure we felt welcomed and attended to all our needs promptly. The food was absolutely delicious. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the portions were generous. I particularly enjoyed the [mention specific dishes if desired], which were cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. The ambiance of the cafe was also delightful. It had a cozy and inviting atmosphere that made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're looking for a casual meal or a special night out, Northern Cafe is the place to go. I highly recommend Northern Cafe to anyone looking for great food and excellent service. I can't wait to return and try more of their menu!
