Luscious Dumplings

James Segil★★★★★

Amazing dumplings. We ordered pork pan fried, pork soup dumplings and scallion pancakes. They definitely earned their Michelin rating. The dumplings were the perfect blend of flavor and juiciness. Highly recommend this place. Bring a sweater as the air conditioning runs cold, but the food warms you right up (and a cup of hot tea doesn’t hurt).

A great dumpling spot that is casual and comfortable. The dumplings are just like homemade and super satisfying. The sauces that are on each table are perfect for dipping the dumplings in, and add so much delicious flavor without being too spicy. The dumplings are a good size and very juicy and filling. The interior is quite small and most people do takeout. Everything is disposable and easy to clean up.

I’m pretty underwhelmed by the experience. When I saw Michelin Bib Gourmand, I had really high expectations. My baseline is Din Tai Fung and I found this place fall short in many ways. I ordered a bean curd side dish and it was very bland. I also ordered regular steamed dumplings (not pictured) and it didn’t wow me in any ways. I think this place is good if you’ve never tried Din Tai Fung or never had dumplings abroad (think Ba Fang dumplings). But I think it’s authentic, meaning that it is historically accurate while Din Tai Fung is engineered excellence.

XLB (soup dumpling) was peak. But how do I eat soup dumpling without soup spoon? All the utensils are disposable and it sucks. Also ordered beef noodle soup, broth was unfortunately underwhelming. Green onion pancake was good, but it came out on a paper plate.
