"This neighborhood dumpling shop plays with Chinese American standbys like honey walnut shrimp and kung pao chicken, the latter of which the restaurant transforms into a dumpling in a tangy-sweet sauce. The restaurant’s team hand-folds dumplings filled with pork and scallions or flaky sole with ginger and cabbage, serving them alongside things like salt and pepper tofu or popcorn chicken. Soup dumplings are also on offer here, just in case the line at XLB is a little long." - Nathan Williams, Eater Staff
