If you're one of those "do it for the Insta" peeps, Brothecary is right up your alley: the giant XLB dumplings are the quintessential novelty purchase! Happily, it's also fairly well-executed to be hole-free and packed with an impressive amount of rich broth. Full disclosure though, I'm from Vegas where our dumpling options are few and far between, and not very good either. That $10 price tag for this baby though? Ouch! NOTE: The mini steamer baskets are adorable, but please return them so they can be recycled!

I got the Xiao Long Bao - the super big one! It was around $11. The bao was alright. I really wish the broth was tastier. But it was super plain and the meat was a bit rough. Not as soft...It came with a cute steam basket (that they recycle if you dont want it). The idea is super cool and cute. But the taste was just lacking. Overall..I didn't enjoy this dish as much.

Large soupy dumpling.

Came with the family to eat a variety of foods. My kids love soupy dumplings so a large one was very enticing. We ordered 1 XLB and 1 order of crispy dumplings (5 in an order). They were filled with pork, chicken and a bit of veggies. They liked it so much we came back for seconds. They recycle the steam baskets so return them if you can. It was a bit pricey...we spent $17 two times.

A few weeks ago my cousin and his wife were at Smorgasburg and they sent me a picture of Brothecary's Xiao Long Bao. I instantly bookmarked them! My cousin's wifey is Taiwanese so I trust her recommendation when it comes to Taiwanese food such as the Xiao Long Bao. When I finally had the opportunity to visit Smorgasburg I knew Brothecary was a MUST!! My friend and I shared the Xiao Long Bao ($10) aka the Big Broth Dumpling. This thing should seriously be called the XL XLB -- Xtra Large Xiao Long Bao!! It was so massive!! It came in its' own steamer and the skin was so firm and fresh. We were given straws to sip their delicious pork and chicken broth that surprisingly filled this huge xiao long bao. The broth was amazinggggg! Despite the hot scorching summer day, I still enjoyed this savory warm flavorful broth. They seriously must have injected more broth into this thing after they steamed it because there was like an endless amount of broth... in a good way! After we were done enjoying the broth we used the chopstick to divide the xiao long bao in half and it was filled with a good amount of meat. The exterior was very soft and moist. They also give you a bit of soy sauce, vinegar and ginger that is traditionally served with the Xiao Long Baos. The ratio of the sauce was on point! It is served on the side so feel free to exclude it if those ingredients don't sound appealing to you. When we were done, we returned their little wooden steamer back to their booth. This makes sense to me because if they have to keep buying more steamers, cost would eventually have to increase for them to survive. So if you take up my recommendation, please don't forget to return the little wooden steamer thing! All in all, we enjoyed every aspect of the xiao long bao. It was the most tasty item we had all morning and it was also very instagram worthy... basically... all I ever ask for in a meal. #truth

Wow. For $10 I thought the dumpling would be bigger. It's a big dumpling but not a $10 dumpling. It was DELICIOUS but overpriced to be straight forward about it. I would really really have to be craving it to pay that much for it again. My husband got the smaller dumplings and they were delicious as well.

Chicken dumplings, so crispy & delicious!

One of the most yummy and authentic food at Smorgasburg LA! I am a big dumpling and noodle person, and the food at Brothecary was 100%!! I was really impressed by the fact that everything is hand-crafted, from the dumpling dough to even the broth inside the soup dumpling was made from scratch. The giant xlb has a really nice chicken broth inside. It was just enough chicken flavor with a subtle sweetness. There's depth of flavor in the broth that just hit the spot for me. Overall a really fun dish to eat! Just be careful, everything is steam-to-order, so the broth inside is extremely hot when it first comes out. My 9 years old nephew's favorite dish was the pan-fried chicken dumpling. Again, the dumplings are made-to-order, so it is hot and extra crispy! The kids love this dish, and I'll definitely order more next time.

I've heard of Smorasburg coming to LA and I was interested to see how one of the many NYC imports fare on the best coast. While walking around, I noticed this pretty interesting food stand. The booth had a pretty cool sign, and the menu was simple and legible. I decided to get the chicken dumpling with the chicken broth. Just by the taste of the broth, it is easy to tell that they take their time and pay a lot of attention to detail to obtaining its very distinct, flavorful taste. I highly recommend getting both the dumpling and the broth. It really goes together will get you full and hydrated at the same time. The service here is top notch. The people working here are very informative and caring of not only the food that's being served, but the people that are trying it out, especially for the first time. If you're going to Smoragasburg, this has to be the first place to check out!

I love dumplings, almost as much as I love shrimp! XLB dumplings are filled with soup and some yummy meat. This dumping was so good, the soup was savory and delicious. I wanted to get another one but for $10, I thought I should try some of the other booths instead. Total regret now. Lol This was probably one of the best things I had at smorgasburg. I wish they made some normal sized ones too. So I could just stuff them in my mouth. I love XLB DUMPLINGS!

Steven W.

Located at Smorgasbord, they had s cute little stand with chairs which was appreciated. They were out of the chicken broth so I had beef broth for my four dumplings for $8. Flavor was there but I personally thought it was a little too much dough. Wait time wasn't bad and service was nice!

Angela L.

They ran out of the giant xiao long baos, which I was really sad about. So, I ordered their pan fried soup dumplings instead. I wouldn't want to order them again because they were pretty mediocre and a bit overpriced. Next time I go to Smorgasburg, I'm gonna come early to get the giant soup dumpling!

Courtney T.

I had them at a festival. Delicious 5 chicken dumplings in a fresh light broth. Tons of flavor with Friday shaved greens on top. We paid $10 for the small bowl but it was one of our fav menu items of the 5 or so foods we tried!

Christine H.

I recently had the chicken broth mini dumplings at SmorgasburgLA. These were to die for. Delicious, savory and juicy. Definitely recommend giving these guys a try - especially with the sweet garlic soy dipping sauce!

XL XLB
Monissa W.

Of course I had to get the XL XLB when I saw it at the Brothecary booth at Smorgasburg! I have dreamt about eating this ever since I discovered that such a thing existed. And it was delicious! It's so big you need a straw to eat the flavorful broth. The only reason why this is not getting the full five stars is because of the price. It cost $10 for ONE XL XLB but that's expected with LA and it's overhyped food market. Still very fun and delicious!

Everything always tastes fresh and is simple and comforting. Not to mention themyhave some of my favorite hummus anywhere. I can't recommend these guys and gastrobot eats enough Ps i'm glad they started including side sizes online to try more of their stews and soups. I'm not a huge person so there's no way I would have been able to finish the full size and even with the side size I still have leftovers!

Was in the mood for stew. Googles "best stew in Los Angeles." This place came up…read more Is this the best stew in Los Angeles? No idea. It's the only place I've had stew in Los Angeles. But as beef stew goes...it wasn't stew-ish enough. Mostly because it has some strong seasonings, and the pieces of beef were cut really small, so it was more like a beef stir fry. That said, it was really tasty. Very flavorful, and the quality of the beef was good. I can see myself going there again. As for he place itself, the staff were nice, though going at lunch meant they were a little (and understandably) distracted. The website makes it seem like it's just for pick-up or delivery, but they have a couple small tables, both inside and outside. And I do mean small. Two people max. There's also a decent sized parking lot (the place is in a mini mall), and there's usually street parking, but at the moment Wilshire is under construction, so plan accordingly.

Visited Hangari on Saturday evening to try their renown Kalguksu with some friends. I've known that…read morespecific parking lot/strip mall to be a nightmare parking wise, so I bit the bullet and used the on-site valet. There is sometimes street parking but the availability is rough, it's tough to park, and even one of the meters we ended up at just didn't work. They only charge a $5 cash service charge though, which isn't bad. We were lucky to be seated right away, even in a packed restaurant. The restaurant has a surprisingly modern design, and is comfortable for as small as it is. We were quickly served their signature kimchis and barley rice. The kimchi, particularly the yeolmu (young summer radish) kimchi, has a unique flavor profile well suited to their food. We ordered 2 bowls of their plain kalgooksu, 1 bibim milmyun, and 1 tteokbokki. The food came out fairly quickly. The kalgooksu was as expected the star of the show. The anchovy broth brings a savory complexity that seems impossible for a soup made from just dried fish and a few other ingredients. It even has a rich, almost thick, quality to it that is surprising for a fish broth. Their noodles, the titular kalgooksu, have the signature irregularity and chew of knife cut noodles. I appreciate the vegetables that always come in kalgooksu, like potato, pumpkin, and zucchini, which offer an earthy heartiness to the light soup. My only complaint is that the potato is in huge irregular chunks, and is barely cooked, though I feel like I have had this issue with many of the kalgooksu bowls I've had over the years. The bibim milmyun was solid. I think that I prefer the texture and flavor of naengmyeon buckwheat noodles, but the milmyun, which are made with mostly wheat flour, still provide a satisfying chew. The sauce tasted bright and fresh, especially with a splash of added vinegar. It also came with a small side portion of spicy pork and some rice paper to wrap. The tteokbokki was the one let down of the meal. To be fair, I wasn't expecting much out of tteokbokki at all restaurant like this whose specialty is essentially the opposite. I ordered the tteokbokki as a "safe pick" for a picky eater in the group. It turned out to be a bit mediocre in our opinion, and that friend ended up enjoying their kalgooksu anyways. If you're looking to try this dish, it's definitely one of if not the best I've had in Southern California, so I'd totally recommend it. I'll also warn to steer clear of the Garden Grove restaurant of the same name and specialty. I think it's a disappointing mimicry of this place.

When you come in, there is a sign that tells you to order before being seated. My sister and her bf had yet to arrive so I placed a sizeable order for the 4 of us. Luckily, they were there (waiting in the car) so I told them to walk over so we can be seated. I ordered 2 orders of chiayi chicken (1with white rice and 1 with brown rice), 2 orders of thousand layer pancake (1 with egg and 1 with egg and cheese), shrimp wonton, dance dan noodles, wonton noodle soup, hakka mochi and forbidden rice pudding. For drinks we had a few of the shaken iced green teas and 1 taro milk tea (my sister said it didnt taste like taro) Everything was great. I was surprised my sister's bf liked the food. The chiayi chicken was good with a bit of the chili sauce (sambal). The thousand layer pancake was good if you dip it in the black vinegar (mixed with chili oil and a little soy sauce). The shrimp wonton were surprisingly light and tasty. The dan dan noodles was balanced my medium thin sliced cucumber. Everything was portioned very small so you can try everything.we didnt get additional sides because were getting full. The desserts was what I was looking forward to and it did not disappoint. The hakka mochi reminded me of the soy pudding stalls in singapore that had mochi balls filled with a black sesame paste and peanut paste inside. This is what the hakka mochi was but in dry soft chewy form with black sesame and peanut grains to top it off. For my sister, it reminded her of the filipino dessert pichi pichi. The forbidden rice pudding reminded me of a soupy version of the filipino dessert biko. It had chunks of sweet potatoes and tapioca. Also very good but my bias is the hakka mochi. The ambiance was bright, bustling and inviting. Very small tables perfect for a quick bite. Highly recommend if you want a tapas style lunch that doesn't break the bank.

This Taiwanese spot in Highland Park is the sister restaurant to Pine & Crane and definitely has that same modern-casual energy with comforting dishes and efficient service. After looking over the menu, we ordered the minced pork rice with braised eggs & pickles, shrimp wontons, Dan Dan noodles, and two clamshell buns -- one with pork belly and one with five spice beef. The Dan Dan noodles were pretty classic and straightforward. I've definitely had better versions elsewhere, but it still hit the spot if you're craving something familiar. The minced pork rice, however, reminded me so much of my mom's braised pork and egg dish. It had that comforting home-cooked feel to it, though I did think it was missing a little something at first. Once I added soy sauce, black vinegar, and chili paste, it completely transformed the dish and gave it the perfect oomph. Same situation with the shrimp wontons -- the custom sauce combo really elevated the flavors. Now onto the clamshell buns: this was the star of the meal. We each picked different proteins so we could try both. I got the pork belly while my friend got the five spice beef, and we both agreed the pork belly was by far the more flavorful option. Super tender, savory, and balanced perfectly with the soft bun. For dessert, I got the forbidden rice pudding with coconut milk and sweet potato/taro balls. I appreciated that it wasn't overly sweet, and I loved the chewiness from the taro balls paired with the purple rice. Service was smooth and efficient from ordering at the front to food arriving at our table. I also liked how attentive the staff was with dessert timing -- they give you a card to attach to your table sign when you're ready for dessert instead of bringing everything out at once. Small detail, but thoughtful. The restaurant itself also had a charming aesthetic with traditional Chinese accents and cute up-cycled Asian jelly cans being used as utensil and napkin holders. Overall, portions were generous enough that we had leftovers, and the pricing felt fair for the amount and quality of food. I already want to come back to try more items like the thousand layer pancake and the Chiayi chicken rice next time.

I added mentaiko since I did the same at Menchirashi and honestly, everything was fantastic. The udon itself is pretty much exactly like fresh udon in Japan. Perfectly bouncy, chewy, and satisfying.

The only thing I didn't like was the shrimp tempura since it had a lot of batter and not a ton of shrimp, so it was on the greasy side. I did enjoy the soft boiled egg tempura though. The yolk exploded into the udon and somehow made the whole bowl even better hehe. There are plenty of tables inside with limited bar seating.

It's been sitting on my saved list for a while, and honestly, this turned out to be the perfect opportunity. The space itself is bright, clean, and welcoming with warm woody tones throughout. Casual setup where you order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. I had already looked through the menu beforehand, so the real challenge was narrowing down what to order for one person. I failed at that... and I'm very happy I did. Started with the Pig Ear Salad 滷豬耳朵. Braised thin sliced pig ears dressed with soy sauce, chili oil, sesame oil, scallion, and cilantro. OMG. So good. Tender, flavorful, perfectly braised, with that satisfying chewy texture done right. Also got the Fried Peanut Salad 五味花生 with garlic, cilantro, scallions, vinegar, and Thai chili. Super crunchy, bright, refreshing, and honestly addicting. I added a cup of the Hot & Sour Soup 酸辣湯 too. Organic tofu, beech mushroom, carrot, bamboo, woodear mushroom, and egg. Super comforting with a really balanced tang and peppery heat. Not overly thick or heavy like a lot of Americanized versions can be. Exactly the kind of soup you want during a long travel day. For noodles, I ordered the Dan Dan Noodles 擔擔麵. Sesame-peanut sauce, cucumber, cilantro, crushed peanuts. Delicious on its own already, but I ended up adding some of the fried peanuts from the salad into the noodles and it became even better. Then the Three Cup Chicken 三杯雞 with sesame oil, soy sauce, rice wine, and Thai basil. I do wish it had a little more wok hei, but overall the flavor was still really comforting and savory. Extremely good with rice. Had a glass of Gewürztraminer alongside everything, which paired surprisingly well with the spice and aromatics. Their wine list leans more organic / natural wine focused, which felt very LA in a good way. Ended up sitting at a high top next to one of the managers and had a great conversation throughout the meal. She ended up hooking me up with the Traditional Shaved Ice 傳統刨冰 with grass jelly, red bean, boba, sweet potato balls, taro balls, brown sugar syrup, and condensed milk.

Also important to note that rice was NOT included! The brisket add on came as a pre-cooked brisket that was added in after, as it didn't initially fit in the pot. The staff member told us at the time that broth refills were free. However, when it came time for refills, they said it was only one time - poor communication. Paying was fairly straightforward, but for future visits, I'd likely just come for their lunch special sullongtang after this experience.
