The 18 Best Dumplings In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"Technically, this tiny Alhambra spot is more of a cafeteria-style restaurant than a food court, but those details are irrelevant when the sheng jian bao (listed on the menu as Shanghai Pan-Fried Bao) are this good. These dumplings are a heftier, thicker-skinned cousin of the xiao long bao with a pan-fried, crispy-brown bottom. Super-sized and approximately 50% larger than the average soup dumpling, they’re served with a rich sauce that’s slightly sweet and vinegary." - sylvio martins, garrett snyder, cathy park, andrew ryce
