"The busy intersection of Sunset and N. Bronson Ave., just blocks away from the Walk of Fame, is the last place we’d expect to find quality xiao long bao, but iXLB proves that anything is possible. Located in a slick, minimalist building, this family-run takeaway shop sells all the traditional Sunday morning favorites: translucent hargow, bright yellow shumai, and wontons doused in chili oil. Their XLB are served in small aluminum tins, where the broth is light and tasty. Overall, these don’t make the top five, but they're a good option (after Hui Tou Xiang) in the Hollywood area." - kat hong
