2023-04-16 23:02:14The food was very good! There was a 25 minute wait around lunch, and there isnt much to do around while waiting. We got a bunch of soup dumplings which were amazing. We got pork, shrimp, chicken, and some veggie ones. I think the pork and shrimp were my favorite! We also got pork belly rice and the Kung Pao chicken. I liked the rice but I didnt eat any of the chicken (I cant do spicy food).This place is a drive from us but it was definitely very tasty and a very good value for the amount of food we got.

2022-05-20 03:00:08This is basically a Din Tai Fung at a lower price. They have everything and more of what DTF has. I first saw this restaurant on Mike Chan’s YouTube channel where he raves about the huge XLB at this place. He said that you have to come to try this out. So my wife and I visited this place today ( 5/19/2022).Mike Chan was right, the xiao long Bao at this restaurant is just as good as DTF. The way I can tell is that the skin on the XLB tasted exactly the same as DTF’s. They also have potstickers and scallion pancakes. But the famous item is their huge Xiao Long Bao. It’s about 9 inches big filled with crab meats and crab eggs. It’s then steamed in a bamboo steamer to create juicy fillings. You suppose to drink the soup inside the giant XLB first with a boba straw. Then you can eat the skins with the crab meat. So delicious. This is a must order when visit this restaurant.When I said everything are just as good as DTF, the only exception is the sweet and sour ribs. The texture is about the same but the sauce is not the same at level of taste. It’s not as flavorful. I believe the cooking process has not attained that culinary level yet. The vinegar level was missing on the ribs. However, the onion pancakes were excellent with the thin and crispy skins. The regular XLB was fantastic too. I can’t tell the difference between these XLB and DTF’s.The prices here are very reasonable. For instance, their XLB costs about 30% less than DTF, although the decoration of this place needs renovations.They used to have bad services here but now it seemed to be very good, fast and attentive.

2022-06-16 00:05:06Their crab and pork xlb might beat DTF! Big statement but it’s so good and you can see them make it fresh! Service is not the best but the food is an absolute hit! Wuxi spare ribs are good but sweet! Xlb is awesome! Hot and sour is real good too. Sichuan fish is not the best here and the spicy beef vermicelli noodle soup has so much mala. Focus on dumplings and shrimp fried rice and hot and sour soup!

2023-07-13 05:10:17This place was AWESOME! My wife and I went today and couldnt have been happier with the meal. Friendly staff and chefs who genuinely care about how youre enjoying the food. The dumplings were absolutely the highlight but the sesame noodles, spare ribs and pickled veggie and shredded pork noodle were amazing and provided us with more than enough food at a great price. Im so excited to eat my leftovers.

2022-05-06 04:16:56This is my go to spot for Xiao Long Bao in the SGV - and Ive been to the usual suspects in the area like Mama Lus and Din Tai Fung. Its an unassuming restaurant located on the 2nd floor of a busy strip mall. The interior is roomy with plenty of seating. In the corner, there is an window where you can see sweet old Asian ladies making Xiao Long Bao. Service is ok. But lets face it, youre not here for the service. Youre here for those juicy, soupy dumplings known as Xiao Long Baos. I always get the Pork & Shrimp XLB and the Crab & Pork XLB. Oooh and the Pork & Crab Bun. Slurping the juice and theCrab from a large straw is my favorite part. It does seem weird at first, but once you taste it, youllnever go back. If Jonathan Gold, the famous LA food critic, loves these pillows of goodness, then you know you will too. If you want good authentic Xiao Long Baos without the wait of Din Tai Fung, then go here.

2023-01-15 21:57:03I forgot how good their soupy Xiao Long Bao and veggie Bao were and will not go to any other places for these two in the future! The veggie Bao is the same flavor as I remembered from my childhood! Other dishes were as expected. Appreciate the spicy dish options to balance the other light dishes we ordered.

2022-12-16 18:39:31Incredibly authentic place to get xiao long bao and dumplings. They have various Chinese dishes as well. We got the pickled cabbage soup with tofu, noodle, and pork...portion sizes was huge. The dumplings were also delicious. They also have giant xiao long bao that you sip with a straw. The skin of the dumpling was nice, thin, and chewy. You can see that it was freshly made to order. Additionally, it is very well priced. I left extremely satisfied.
