Nice outdoor seating. We made a reservation through Google for our party of 9 people. The table was ready for us when we walked in.Service was good and fast.We ordered too much food because we wanted to sample different dishes. We ended up bringing some food home.The food is decent but not with wow’s. Good for causal family dinners.

Met here a few times for meals with friends and family. XLB is great, nice and thin wrap with soup. We order pork belly with sticky rice, tasty. Won ton soup is good as well as fried rice and noodles. My friends love the chili oil won ton. Service is nice and efficient. If you have a group, make a reservation. It can get busy at lunch and dinner.

I came here for the XLB and it was a bit disappointing. The other dishes were ok they were ok a bit bland.

I like the outdoor seating and the service was quick. I ordered this spicy vinegar tasting chicken which left my mouth buzzing afterwards. Not in a spicy way but in a novacaine type of way. The dumplings werent my favorite either.

I was here for lunch. I had heard about the schejwan recipe and hence this was a good place to taste it. I ordered the fried chicken rice with beef and a sweet pumpkin cake. I was a satisfied customer as the food tasted delicious. They look like a small restaurant but when you go inside you see theres outdoor seating at the side as well. Theres free parking, and plenty of space to sit. Im definitely going to come and try other dishes from their menu.

The best dumplings. This has been my favorite place for some time. XLB is the dim sum of choice. An explosion of flavor - a salty, sweet, umami tornado. The authentic vibes and unique spin jam together quite nicely. Highly recommend this taste of home, a must try, Bay Area staple.

I couldnt stop oooh-ing and ahhh-ing during my dinner here! I have heard many mixed reviews about the quality of their food and XLB... but I must say, I am a BIG FAN! They have indoor and outdoor dining available, and the customer service is nice. Free tea for the table too!+ Pork Xiao Long Bao: These XLB were seriously massive! I gasped when the waitress brought them to our table. They were incredibly juicy! The perfect amount of broth and an excellent dough-to-meat ratio. The only downside is that they ONLY have pork XLB; no crab or chicken options.+ Honey Walnut Prawns: A hefty price tag on this entrée, but the prawns were a great size! I will say, they were cooked a bit firm for my liking. The overall flavor was great though! Tender walnuts, a good amount of mayo and breading... it wasnt overkill at all! It was served on a bed of fresh lettuce too.

First time trying XLB Kitchen and loved both the nice people working there and their large, thin-skinned xlb, bamboo rice, and pan-fried baos. Pan-fried dumplings were more on the bready side than other places Ive tried. Nice outdoor seating area, but can get a little noisy from the street traffic... totally fine though if youre there to enjoy the great food!

Simply a mediocre eatery. Due to the rain, we did not want to drive far and decided to have xiao long bao here. With this price range, I can get much tastier food elsewhere. Xiao long bao was brownish on the top… ? Spicy wontons were soggy and the sauce was blend beside the peppercorn taste. Pretty much the same sauce for the beef noodle soup and you can tell the beef was not cooked with the soup but just boiled and added to the noodle. Sichuan burning noodle was tasteless. Pork buns and pot stickers were small in size and the dough tasted sweet.Overall none of the dishes we had could be called tasty (to my standard) but the two lady servers were very courteous and attentive.
