Hui Tou Xiang

Hui Tou Xiang brings Northern Chinese dumpling traditions to Hollywood, a neighborhood where Chinese dining operates outside the competitive density of the San Gabriel Valley. The kitchen's focus is on hand-made dough work, with signature rectangular pan-fried pork hui tou dumplings that burst with a pressurized, juicy filling. The menu is built around these wheat-based staples, including xiao long bao, leek pancakes, and hand-kneaded noodles, offering a specific regional counterpoint to the Cantonese and fusion idioms more common in the area. It's a modest, counter-oriented spot for straightforward, shareable plates.
