"This trio of baked pork buns has bottoms so crispy that there’s a lacy, caramelized edge that snaps right off. The ratio of bun to pork is an ideally balanced 50-50, and the filling gets evenly spread throughout the dome of fluffy bread. The service at this sit-down dim sum spot in SoMa matches the caliber of their buns, as evidenced by the tableside xiao long bao and the fact that you’ll never know what the bottom of your teapot looks like. If you’d rather have your pork bun steamed, the versions here are like clouds." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
