    Very nice dumplings and buns at great price. Place opens and closes at what seems random hours, so better call to make sure they are open before going there.

    Rarely is there a place in LA specializing in Shanghainese baked goods. I used to come here over ten years ago and loved the "Xiekehuang" or "hakowang" in Shanghai dialect. Reminded me of all the great stuff my Shanghainese dad used buy me in places like Shanghai and Taipei in the 80s and 90s. Life got in the way and just haven't been able to make it back to Dean Sin World since last week and I was so excited to take my 90-year old mom there for lunch. Unfortunately it's now only a take-out. It was always a tiny place with a few tables but COVID must have forced them to change. They must have discovered that take-out is a more lucrative business so is now sticking with it. But does the lady need to be so rude and arrogant? We still bought stuff to go but it was like she didn't want us to interrupt whatever soap opera she was watching. I noticed that, like many SGV Chinese restaurants and dim sum places, things are getting bigger not for the better. What used to be delicate pastries are now bigger and crude. Is it an American Chinese phenomenon? Bet you won't see it in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore or.... China. Five stars so it sticks around, improve and serve our culture right.

    It took me a little while and several tries to get the pan fried buns cooked properly. I found this works the best after several attempts: in 10 in non stick frying pan, put some oil and 6-7 dumplings. While heating, add 3/4 cup of hot water. Cover and heat on medium heat until all the water has evaporated. The bottom of each bun would be brown and the meat is cooked. And the dough of the bun would be soaked with the small amount of juices from the meat. So my conclusion: tasty, authentic and good value at 70 cents a bun whereas outside could be at least $1.20 per bun.

    I swung by Dean Sin to get frozen XLBs and wantons on a Saturday afternoon. There was ample parking in the lot but the store itself took a little bit to find since it's sign does not really match its name. Refer to the many exterior photos to see what the store looks like. It is located on the Northern side of the horseshoe shaped strip mall. The store itself is just an open door blocked by a table. I was able to get the attention of a staff member who took my order, packed my items, and accepted payment. The staff was very friendly. The XLBs I enjoyed and are a good value. However I personally will probably continue to look for other options as I didn't love their flavor. The wontons however I did love and will be back for more in the future. They had a full pork flavor though the skin did fall apart a little too easily... but I can get over the skin if the filling is satisfying (which it was). They also offered other items I may try out on my next outing. Overall the prices are good and the flavors are decent, but being in Monterey Park, there are so many options, I'm looking for frozen XLB i will love. I suggest trying DSW out and see if you like it.
