Based on social media and reviews, I may have overhyped this place but in short, it was a bit disappointing/expected more. The decor is nice...feels a little bit like you're sitting in a maze. Most of the seating is for tables of 4 so if you have a larger party of 5 or more, you may want to call ahead. There's parking in the attached parking structure. The menu is a scan menu but the connection is not great so you'll need to log into their wifi (password: bao123456) in order to get their menu loaded. You'll order online but pay in person. So in terms of the food, it's okay. Mostly misses...some hits. The pretty goods: The xiao long bao was actually the best thing. It's larger than most (especially if you compare it to DTF) and it was very juicy. BUT, you only get 6 for $14. For that price point, it should at least be 8. The shrimp and pork potsticker was good. It has a whole shrimp and some pork and the crust was nice and crispy. Disappointments: The cucumber salad portion was big but it's not crunchy...a little mushy. I think they used larger/older cucumbers, not the petite ones that are nice and crunchy. The wood ear fungus was "crisp" but there's no flavor. I used the sauce from the cucumber salad to compliment it. The wonton soup was a disappointment. You get 6 very small wontons. The braised string beans has a spicy kick to it and was not very "crisp" and didn't taste fresh. In fact, it came out less than a couple minutes after we placed the order so it may have been sitting there already. The beef roll, while has a good amount of beef, was dry and tough. The skin was not crisp enough and on the chewy side. The stir fried bok choy was flavorless and it's not in complete strands. In other words, it's chopped up into inch sized pieces. There's no garlic or seasoning added. The house special hamburger was a huge disappointment. The pastry on top was nice and flaky but the beef (it's not ground beef) was dry. It reminded me of a beef curry pastry but the beef is the same beef used in the beef roll, just all chopped up in bits. They provided a knife to cut it so you can share but it's near impossible to cut in into pieces. Lastly, their to-go boxes are horrible. So difficult to fold and won't stay closed. If you need to take anything to go, ask for the round soup containers with lids.
I'm really impressed! I came in with low expectation because so many places copy DTF, like the likes of Good Alley, Prince Dumpling etc. but no one comes close with their xiao long bao. However, I stand corrected. I am amazed at their XLB here, extremely thin skin with thick, savory soup. Well done Bao Master! I highly recommend any bao or noodles type stuff here, they know what they're doing. Especially the Sheng jian bao (pan fried buns). This is a soup grenade. Remember to bite a small hole and suck out the juices or it will be a soup projectile. This alone is 5 stars worthy. Holy moly. I was quite disappointed by their beef rolls and Shanghai Pancake. Beef rolls was dry and lacked sauce and flavor. The Shanghai Pancake, omg don't get me started. Are these pork slices for giants?! lol. Not sure what they were trying to achieve. Not authentic but was a fairly good amount of meat for the price. The braised beef noodle was nothing to rave about. Soup lacked oomph, but noodles were excellent. Overall, many must try items. Order from the photos and don't stray onto non signature items. Must get: Pan fried buns Xiao long bao soup noodle Giant xiao long bao Crab roe scallion noodles Meh Beef rolls Braised beef noodle Shanghai rice cake Parking: free attached parking structure
Juicy dumplings, but tough beef noodle soup. Placed an order to go and was excited to try the Big Mac Crab Meat and Kurobuta Pork Soup Dumpling. This dumpling is huge and full of delicious crab meat and flavorful broth! The dumpling wrapper was also soft and thin. The beef noodle soup had a rich broth. The soup wasn't spicy at all. The chili oil was placed in a container on the side, which was great for my parents. The beef noodle soup wasn't my favorite. The beef was really tough. I don't think any one of us could finish chewing the meat. The noodles have a thick hand pulled texture. The entrée was extremely filling and a bit too heavy for me. Even without finishing the meat, the portion is pretty big. The service was friendly and efficient. Our order was prepared on time and they didn't miss a single dish.
First time coming to this place with my family. Food very delicious and tasty. What stood out was the Xio Long Bao is was full of soup like a water balloon that when I bit it it got splashed all over my face and clothes that's said everything about this tray if XLB right? The desserts were so cute in bunny shaped and tasted soft and chewy, just perfect sweetness! The other one was the brown sugar bao or coffee cream inside? I didn't eat that one so don't know lol The ambience was comforting and some big screen TV to keep you company while enjoying your food. Just a few accidents knocking down the silverware holder. May be they should get a more stable one? Saw that they have a giant XLB soup on the Ad making me wanna come back to try it. Will be back soon!
It feels more like Bao apprentice than Bao master to me. Maybe my standards are too high but I am spoiled by DTF, good alley, etc. like the beef roll is less meat and if there is meat, it's fatty. The outside is oily and soggy. Only the XLB is okay to try. Also pricey for what it is
I was hoping I had found a place with good crab meat noodles. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. Five stars for the service and two stars for the food. The crab meat noodles have no taste at all. It was like just the noodle and put on a cup of crab meat from the Chinese supermarket.
Great place for some northern Chinese food! There is a parking structure right next door so no issues there. We came around 6:30pm on a weekday and it wasn't busy so we were seated right away. Ambiance was clean and modern, not too loud. There's a QR code on the table where we submitted our order. We tried several dishes: soup dumplings ($13.98), pan fried buns ($15.98), scallion noodles ($21.98), pot stickers ($10.98), beef roll ($11.98), fried rice ($14.98), string beans ($11.98), and sesame rice balls ($4.98). Overall, nice portions and filling. Beef rolls were not very crispy though and didn't have much flavor.
Modern, clean, cozy dumpling house. Attached parking structure. Complimentary appetizers (peanuts, seaweed salad, and black fungus) and self-served congee. We were there at opening hour (11:30 am) and it took an hour to get our 2nd dish. We only ordered two different dishes and two drinks! It wasn't even busy. We had to keep asking our server and they just nodded and never came back with a definitive answer. This was a complete turn-off. The massive pork soup dumpling was a fun tasty experience. It was jiggly and came with a straw to take in the soup. The pan fried wagyu buns were good but nothing spectacular. My milk tea was really sweet and full of ice. Since we ordered off a QR code, I didn't see an option to customize my drink. Other great menu items I would like to come back and try. Hopefully they will make some improvements.
We had the Kurobata Pork Soup Dumpling and it was amazing, although pricey ($10 for 6 dumplings). I got the Crab Meat and Scallion Oil Noodles. I was too hungry so the small quantity of crab meat was not a deterrent and the Noodles was actually really tasty! My friend got the Braised Beef Noodle Soup and he said the beef was too chewy and the soup wasn't good. He would not get it again.
So excited to have a new dumpling shop in the neighborhood! I'd been looking forward to this place since construction began, and once the signage went up, I was counting down the days to opening. As a bao and dumpling fan, I'm thrilled to support another local business. With any new or popular spot, I usually expect a wait, but we got lucky popping in around 6 p.m. on Sunday. Plenty of customers, but we were seated right away in a comfy booth. The restaurant is brightly lit with cool, modern artwork and design (I'd love to have that wave wall piece in my home!). The giant 4-foot bao character statue at the entrance is such a fun touch. There's a waitlist kiosk at the front if the place gets busier. Ordering is done through QR codes at the table: convenient, and our food came out super fast! (I have mixed feelings about QR code ordering, but the speedy service makes up for it.) Here's what we ordered: -Kurobuta Pork & Crab Soup Dumplings: Super flavorful soup, packed filling, so good! -Classic Fried Rice: One of the best I've had in a while. Not sure what made it so tasty, but it was a winner. -Shrimp and Pork Potstickers: That crispy layer was incredible. -Scallion Pancake: Classic must-have; perfectly done. -Garlic Sautéed Green Beans: Tons of garlic, super yummy, one of my favorites. -Big Mac Soup Dumpling: Fun to try, but not quite as tasty as the regular soup dumplings. Every dish was fantastic and earned my "happy wiggle" from the very first bite. Even though there's no specific waiter, the staff who brought out our food and took payment were both friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely dinner and are already looking forward to our next visit! Highly recommend checking out this new spot if you're a dumpling lover.
I have been wanting to go to this restaurant for a while. I was finally able to go on a Sunday. To my surprise, half of the restaurant was empty. There's no hostess so one of the stuff members just pointed to let me know where I should sit. The food is ordered through the QR code on the side of the table. Here are the things I ordered: steam giant xlb, pan fried pork bun and fried rice cake. The dish I like the most of the fried pork bun. It's really crispy at the bottom and soft on top. The bun is not overly thick and it's juicy inside. My other favorite was the crab and pork steam giant xlb. Although the size of it was a bit smaller than I thought it looked in the picture but you can taste the crab and pork inside. It's also flavorful. As for the fried rice cake, I would probably pass next time. It's overly salted and texture was a bit off. The environment of the place is nice and clean. The food prices were reasonable I would say.
Took my father, mom, hubby, and the kids here for Father's Day lunch, and we arrived right before opening. There was already a line forming outside! Luckily, we were the second or third party in line and were seated immediately. We later found out many people had reservations, and several walk-ins were added to the waitlist shortly after opening. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, with seating for about 50 people, creating a cozy and lively atmosphere. It got busy very quickly after opening, and within a short time nearly every table was filled. It's easy to see why reservations are recommended, especially on busy weekends and holidays. We ordered quite the spread to sample as much as possible: XLB, the giant crab and Kurobuta pork soup dumpling, crispy pork with shrimp and chicken potstickers, beef rolls, scallion pancake, spicy wontons, shrimp and chive dumplings, sautéed string beans, jellyfish and cabbage, beef short rib noodle soup, and the pork and pickled vegetable noodle soup. Despite the restaurant filling up quickly, the food came out surprisingly fast. Every dish was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. The soup dumplings were packed with flavorful broth, the spicy wontons had just the right amount of heat, the beef rolls were savory and satisfying, and the noodle soups were rich and comforting. Even the vegetable dishes were well-executed and complemented the meal perfectly. By the end, we were completely stuffed but couldn't stop talking about how good everything was. Everyone from the grandparents to the kids found something they enjoyed, making it the perfect spot for a family gathering. The food quality, efficient service, and overall dining experience made for a wonderful Father's Day celebration. We'll definitely be back again to try even more items from the menu!
There seems to be a recent proliferation of chinese restaurants with great decor selling very good albeit small xlb dumplings with other tasty dishes. The beef noodle soup was good (not spicy) and the beef rolls slightly better - nice flaky skin with plenty of thinly sliced beef. The cauliflower was not unexpectedly spicy. I also like the free tiny apps of wooden ear, peanuts and seaweed salad. The staff was kind enough to move us out of the sunlight without our promoting so I appreciated that. This place is across from the sprouts on a small side street.
Another XLB and beef noodle soup has popped up and this time, in Alhambra! Got their kurobuta pork/crab XLB which was my favorite. The scallion noodles were a bit too mushy for my liking. Can't go wrong with the cucumbers. Decor is nice and mondern. Overall okay but I personally prefer the quality and taste of Prince Dumpling, Good Alley, or Mr Dragon. read more

Let's check out this Jiangnan-style restaurant that opened in LA late last year! The space is still very new and clean, without the greasy feel that some traditional snack shops can have. And one thing I noticed during lunch: there were lots of grandparents dining there, and they all looked like regulars. I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but restaurants that are popular with older customers are usually pretty good, and the prices tend to be reasonable too! 【Kurobuta Soup Dumplings】 My first test for any Jiangnan restaurant is always the classic pork soup dumplings. And right now they're on special for just $3.99 a basket! I honestly can't remember the last time I saw that price in LA. Next time I come by myself, I'll probably order two baskets and pair them with their free porridge for the perfect meal. The wrappers are fairly thin, and each bite is full of soup. You can definitely tell they're freshly made. 【Giant Crab Roe & Kurobuta Soup Dumpling】 Alhambra finally has one of these! Whenever I'm back in Suzhou, I buy one and sip the soup while walking around. This version is generously filled with both crab roe and pork. After drinking the soup, I like adding a little vinegar and enjoying the filling. So satisfying. 【Crab Roe Scallion Oil Noodles】 And thank goodness they don't use sea crab! The noodles are springy and the flavors are very balanced. My husband likes mixing in a bit of vinegar, which cuts through the richness and makes it even more delicious. 【Shanghai Three-Delicacy Shaomai】 This is exactly the type of shaomai I grew up eating. When I first moved to LA, I honestly wasn't used to Cantonese-style siu mai at all. The sticky rice on top is packed with mushroom and pork flavors. Absolutely unbeatable. 【Pan-Fried Kurobuta Pork Buns】 Proceed with caution! These are incredibly juicy and packed with soup. You really need to eat them while they're piping hot for the full experience. The bun itself stays soft and fluffy. Very satisfying. 【Shanghai Wonton Soup】 After all those carbs, I needed something warm and comforting. The broth has to have seaweed, dried shrimp, and scallions to feel authentic. The wonton wrappers are thin, but the filling is surprisingly generous. Lately I haven't been eating much spicy food, and this bowl somehow reminded me of my life before moving abroad, when I ate light, comforting meals every day. 【Pork Chop Fried Rice】 The fried pork chop has a slight Japanese-style vibe to it. I expected the fried rice to be fairly standard, but it ended up being a pleasant surprise. And one more thing! They offer three different kinds of porridge for free refills, and none of them are pre-sweetened. You can add sugar yourself if you'd like, which feels healthier and more thoughtful. It's a small detail, but I really appreciated it. read more

The service here is amazing, the food is nothing like you'd expect because the flavors differentiate from every single dish you taste. It's nostalgic, amazing, different texture, flavor in every dish. The service here is very great because for complimentary food, they had red bean and potato porridge (thank you master cook Jose)! You'd be in a good coma in about 20 minutes. The owner is amazing, since it wasn't busy during this time, she spoke to us, made us feel at home and connected with us. You can tell the love with the conversation is the same when set cook people cook food with meaning and love. Just know the love and respect customers feel is exactly what people talk about when coming here! We will continue to be back! Thank you Nina with your bright green shirt, sitting down with us and making us feel welcome with my fiancé Ruby read more
First time trying this new Chinese dumpling place called Bao Master in Alhambra. They just opened it about 2 months ago. It's located on Monterey Street (right across the Sprouts market plaza). You won't miss their big business sign. There's a free indoor public parking lot next to it. Once we walked in (or you can see it from outside the restaurant), we noticed their big, cute Bao Master character at the entrance. The interior is very modern and welcoming. It has some nice decor. Someone greeted us when we walked in and asked us how many people of our party, and we did not need to wait. It wasn't crowded, maybe because of its location, so not many people know about it yet. We first noticed that their utensils were very nice, and I liked the color of the plate. Then our server gave us a big bottle of water for our table, and a complimentary appetizer with seaweed salad, some onions with mini wood mushrooms, and fried peanuts. They were all delicious. We ordered our food through their QR code on the table, which links to their order page from my phone, or you can ask for a menu. We ordered the following: Braised Wheat Gluten in Sweet Soy Sauce ($10.98) Pan-Fried Kurobuta Pork buns 5 pcs ($7.98) Kurobuta Pork Soup Dumplings (XLB) 8 pcs ($12.98) Rice Cake with Pork & Spinach ($14.98) The Braised Wheat Gluten in sweet soy sauce was very addictive. My daughters and my mom also liked it. It was a bit salty, but it was also flavorful. (4 out of 5) The pan-fried Kurobuta Pork buns had 5 pieces of this dish. The pork buns were smaller than I thought. Be careful that it was hot inside with juice. The skin was thick. (3 out of 5) Kurobuta Pork Soup Dumplings (XLB) - it had 8 pieces of Xiao Long Bao. The skin was thin and smooth. It had a good portion of pork meat and soup inside. (4 out of 5) Rice Cake with Pork & Spinach - We always like Shanghaiese pan-fried Rice Cake because we like the chewy texture. It was flavorful and delicious. Some people may think that it's a bit oily, but we liked it. (5 out of 5) The service was attentive, and they gave us another bottle of water. By the way, their to-go box is so cute, but you have to know how to fold it yourself. Overall, it was a satisfying meal, and we all liked it. We will try their other dishes next time. read more

Best alternative of Ding Tai Feng! Try their buns, juicy dumplings, and fried noodles. Foods are good; environment is clean, quiet and beautiful. Price is very affordable. read more

The food here is decent, but not particularly memorable. The cucumber dish feels like it's trying to replicate Din Tai Fung's version, but it doesn't quite hit the mark--definitely a different level. The xiao long bao are good, though again, not comparable to Din Tai Fung. One of the main reasons we come here is the convenience--there's usually little to no wait, which is a big plus. The restaurant itself is modern and well-designed, and parking is very easy with plenty of spaces in the structure. Service, however, is just so-so. Our server wasn't very friendly and didn't smile, which made the experience feel a bit lacking. Overall, it's a decent spot for a quick meal without the long wait. We'll likely come back and give it another try. "Try to avoid the sweet and sour soup and 上海粗炒, but if you really like it... let me know if they are getting better . " read more

After a round of golf nearby, we were pretty famished and looking for an early dinner. We happened to come across Bao Masters, a spot specializing in Xiaolongbao, so we decided to give it a try. I'm quite particular about where I eat--I like to be impressed right away with the first impression, especially when it comes to cleanliness and the overall atmosphere. Bao Masters definitely delivered on that. The restaurant is located in a fairly new building in Alhambra, and the place felt bright, cheerful, and very clean, which I really appreciated. We were greeted warmly and ushered to a table near the window, which made for a pleasant start to the meal. We ended up ordering quite a few items, and I realized later that our selections didn't exactly come together as a cohesive meal--we kind of picked random things from the menu--but oh well! Our order included: Shredded tofu salad (appetizer) Classic scallion oil noodles BG Mac crab meat & kurobuta pork soup dumplings Veggie fried rice Kurobuta pork & shrimp dumpling soup Everything we tried was good and satisfying. The flavors were solid, and it definitely hit the spot after a long day on the golf course. Overall, Bao Masters made a great first impression with its cleanliness, welcoming service, and tasty food. We'd happily come back again--next time maybe ordering a more "thought-out" menu! read more

Hardware: 4 stars. Restaurant is new and clean Softwares: service 0-1 star. Came here at 7:15pm on a Sunday place was 1/4 full. But still took the waitress over 5 min to look up & seat us. One of the 2 female waitress looked miserable and angry (板铁脸). We asked for booth seat but were rudely told they already cleaned that section and didn't want to seat anyone there. Food: 2.0 lack luster. Some of the comfort foods I looked forward to are no long available. No tomatoes egg noodle. No kung pao shrimp etc.. Hot & sour soup: bland, not sour, not savory. Shrimp xlb: surprisingly good. Spicy cabbage: for bizarre reason they put sh*t tons of sugar in this dish. It's sickly sweet but spicy & numbing at the same time. Perhaps it's a Shanghainese failed attempt at creating the most basic Szechuan dish Crab roe noodle: ok but noodle was too soft n lacked bite. Bamboo bun: for supposedly "bao mastet" this was pure insult. Mostly dough w very little mystery filling (see photo). In summary, Plenty of sheep in sgv to rip off. For this sheep, I'll be sheared once and will not be returning .. read more

Went to bao master for a simple dinner and it was a decent spot (3.5/5). The XLB skin was thicker than other places but still juicy inside. Crab roe scallion oil noodles was super oily for my taste. I really enjoyed the string beans and cucumber. Very clean and new place, quiet and great place to catch up with friends at. Ordered via the QR code and food came out pretty quick and servers came to clean out dishes timely. read more

Awesome appetizers, Baos and dumplings! Great service! Clean, relaxing atmosphere. They gave my daughter a mini Labubu blind box. So cute! read more
First time here and our experience was great! They were really busy but we still were able to sit fairly quickly as we were a party of 6 with 2 kids. We ordered a bunch of dumplings like the wagyu buns, pork buns, the pork soup dumplings, beef noodle soup, crab scallion noodles, green beans as well as the red bean and sesame bao buns. They were all pretty good and good choice to go to if you don't want to go all the way to DTF. read more

Bao Master is an comfort-food favorite. From the moment you walk in, it feels casual, warm, and inviting The kind of place you can visit again and again. The dumplings and baos are the highlights. The soup dumplings are packed with rich, savory broth and perfectly seasoned filling with delicate skin with just the right thickness. The pan-fried dumplings have that satisfying crispy bottom while staying juicy inside. Their steamed baos are soft, fluffy, and generously filled, making every bite incredibly satisfying. Everything tastes freshly made and thoughtfully prepared. Portions are solid, prices are reasonable, and the flavors are authentic and comforting. If you're craving classic dumplings and bao done right, Bao Master definitely delivers. read more
I like this restaurant. We enjoyed every dish - vegetable, steamed dumpling, scallion pancake and crab roe. The highlight was no doubt the crab roe; they did not skimp on the roe. Pricing in general is lower than other dumpling houses, but the portion tends to be lighter as well. Service was better than a typical Chinese restaurant. There is limited parking in the building. read more

Din tai fung better watch out. F ur lines and prices, id rather come here! Food is delicious and fast! read more
A new spot that I had to try. They even still have the soft opening sign up. It's on the other side across the street of the parking lot not in the same lot with all the other establishments like Sprouts and Burlington. They have their own parking in the back but I totally missed it. Who makes up these prices for their food? Bc it is pricey for the portions! The crab meat and scallion oil noodles were hands down delicious but for like a few strings of noods w few pieces of crab meat for $22 is absurd. We inhaled that within a few mins but def not satisfied. Big bowl w very little noods. The plating is nice though. You can tell the soup dumplings are freshly made. The shrimp pot stickers were good but it's hard to separate they fell apart as you're eating it. Big Mac crab meat soup dumpling is cute but waiting for it to cool down and trying to share that is impossible. Just get the reg soup dumplings. We had to add Pan fried wagyu buns in the end since we were still not full. Very good flavoring in those buns and a bit crispy underneath. I got the signature black milk tea and it was a bit too sugary. Bottom line is it was a good meal but overpriced imo. They should either adjust their portion size or lower their price. read more

This is a Chinese dim sum and dumpling restaurant, and the overall quality of the food was truly impressive. The dumplings were incredibly juicy, bursting with flavor in every bite. The cucumber salad was clean, refreshing, and perfectly balanced, making it a great palate cleanser.The beef noodle soup had a slightly spicy kick, which made it even more flavorful and satisfying. The chili oil dumplings were absolutely delicious, with a great balance of heat and richness. The stir-fried noodles were also excellent, with a wonderful wok flavor.Every dish we tried was consistently good. The service was friendly, and the food came out quickly, making the entire dining experience very enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone who loves dim sum and authentic Chinese cuisine. read more

This place 【Bao Master】 in Alhambra was recommended by people online, and I finally had time to check it out this weekend. "Crab Meat & Scallion Oil Noodles" Absolutely mind-blowingly fresh--every noodle is coated with crab meat. The noodles are chewy and glossy, how could it not taste good! The key is it's not salty at all, just full of umami and scallion oil flavor. Very suitable for kids--I let my 1-year-old try a few bites and she loved it so much. "Kurobuta Pork & Crab Soup Dumplings" Savory and delicious, no fishy taste at all. The broth is excellent--even without dipping sauce it tastes great. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and high quality. "Pan-Fried Wagyu Buns" I love these! One bite and the soup bursts out. The filling is super tender and juicy, with none of that beefy gamey taste. The bottom is golden and crispy too--both texture and flavor are amazing. My personal top 1 "Sesame Donut with Mochi" A Chinese-style donut, but not as oily or sweet--just mildly sweet and not greasy. The black sesame coating on the outside is super fragrant, and the mochi inside is soft, stretchy, and gooey. So delicious, and also super cute in appearance. Overall, their dishes aren't too salty and keep the natural flavors of the ingredients. It's great for bringing both elderly family members and kids. Really good, and the service is amazing too--five-star rating . Will definitely come again next time！ read more

Came here for the giant soup dumpling and it did not disappoint! It was incredibly flavorful and umami. A little bit hard to eat, but it was fun to drink from the straw. My other favorite was the fried green beans and the crispy pan fried dumpling (the one that they serve upside down) Don't skip the House special Chinese meat burger. The pastry was so flaky. I loved the texture! read more

Went to Bao Master for their soft opening and had such a great experience! Everything we tried was really good- the soup dumplings and all of the dishes were super flavorful and fresh. Must try favorites so far: the Kung Pao shrimp and spicy wontons! The drinks were light, fresh and not too sweet which I really appreciated. On top of the food, the service was warm, attentive, and welcoming which made the whole experience even better. Great ambiance with modern, cozy and thoughtfully designed decor. Definitely coming back to try more items on the menu! If this was just the soft opening, I'm excited to see what's next! Bonus: parking is super convenient which makes coming here even better. read more

Really surprised how well made the noodles are! It's the perfect texture and flavor. The waitress did confirm that it's handmade and not machine made, which really makes a whole world of difference. The beef roll's texture is good, but the sauce, meat and dough ratio is off which ended up being a bit dry. However, I'll definitely be returning for the noodles! read more

Food was okay overall. Flavor was not very bold, so to some it might be on the blender side, to others it might be seen as clean. The giant soup dumpling was already punctured and leaking before it arrived and the hot and sour soup was not hot nor sour enough and I found a rock-like thing at the bottom that I had to spit out. Service was quick, maybe a little too quick because as I was paying, they cleaned out the table before I could finish my last bite. I like down after and it was gone. read more

Hands down, amazing food. They may be brand new, but the food tastes like it's been perfected for years. The pot stickers are outstanding -- perfectly crispy on the bottom with juicy, savory filling inside. The tomato and egg noodle is an absolute must-try, comforting and full of flavor. Their house bao and crab meat buns are also incredibly delicious. I've literally been here three days in a row, and that should say it all. 真的太太太好吃了。作为一家新开的店，食物几乎挑不出任何问题，每一道都让人惊喜。强烈推荐！ read more

Took my family for the first time to try this place because we were in the mood for dumplings! This place did NOT disappoint! They have the well-known BIG soup dumpling that you have to use a straw to drink out of then eat the meat from inside the dumplings! The XiaoLong Bao was pretty hefty and they do not skimp out on the meat! Very juicy and very flavorful! They have their own chili bean sauce with their soy sauce and vinegar! I HIGHLY recommend this place if you like Din Tai Fung! To be honest, I would come here instead because the service is amazing! Not a long wait, price point is better, AND their mascot is so cute! read more

Delicious!! The food came out fast and was great. The sautéed string beans were the perfect amount of spicy, the kurobuta pork with crab soup was incredible, the presentation of the pan fried kurobuta pork buns was great, and kung pao chicken was much better than I've had at other Chinese restaurants. The servers were nice and we had congee while we waited for our dishes to arrive. It's a hidden gem, the atmosphere is great and is perfect for bringing a group. I'll be back! read more

The xlb were juicy and thin wrapper. The beef rolls were good, but it had a little bit too much sauce and the cucumbers should have been thinly sliced. The wagyu pan fried buns were juicy, but not as hot as we expected. Although there's a Yelp wait list in the front, as long as you are present, when tables are available, the wait staff will seat you. read more

Will there be a menu put listed soon? Any vegetarian options?
I didn't see a menu on the website, but inside the restaurant is a printed menu and a QR code to view photos and place an order.
