"A high-profile San Gabriel Valley dumpling group known for its xiao long bao, this restaurant collective has been at the center of a decade-long tax fraud case: the brother-and-sister operators pleaded guilty after an investigation that began in 2018 and agreed to roughly a $2 million settlement for filing false returns and hiding income. The pair have operated multiple prominent local eateries under various business names, and the scandal pertains to their ownership and finances rather than the restaurant concept or its reputation for soup dumplings." - Farley Elliott
