"When I step inside the low-slung pink building in Rosemead I’m met with ice-cold air conditioning, modern lighting and furnishings, and front-row access to scratch-made dumplings. Opened in January 2024, Prince Dumpling is making a name in the SGV for expert xiao long bao — soup dumplings filled with pork, crab, or lobster that are superb and should grace every table. The winding menu rarely misses, with plenty of appetizers, fried rice, noodle soups and more; I’d start with the vinegar-spiked wood ear mushrooms or the salt-and-pepper fried squid topped with a confetti of garlic and chiles, and it’s hard to resist the Shanghai-style rice cakes." - Eater Staff
