Boston Soup Dumplings 烹小鲜

I’ve been coming here since 2023. Always met with a warm welcome! I especially love ordering the Wuhan hot-dry noodles with sesame paste. It’s a simple, but delicious noodle dish consisting of carrots, green onions, chili oil, and what I believe to be pickled green beans? The sauce is nutty and rich, kinda reminds me of Vietnamese peanut sauce. The sauce is at the bottom, so you have to mix it up to get it spread evenly. I also recommend getting the cucumber salad as a palate cleanser! To order, you have to scan the QR code on the table with your phone’s camera, though they also do have physical menus.

The soup dumplings were authentic and delicious. I thought it was overpriced at first, but each soup dumpling was decent in size and filled with soup! Different colors have different flavors, and I liked that they put some sliced ginger in the sauce plate. I also enjoyed the rice noodles, especially the crispy pork belly in it.

The pork soup dumplings are really good!!!! Just the right amount of soup and the skin was thin but did not rip. Piping hot too. I would not really recommend the rainbow ones - I feel like they tasted less fresh and almost all of them broke. Lots of people ordered noodles so I'll have to get that next time :)

It was a sunny Friday afternoon in February. We ordered a Sichuan spicy beef noodle soup and an order of soup dumplings. Both had excellent traditional Chinese flavor and flavorful sauces. Service included jasmine tea and a tall pitcher of ice water with real chopsticks and soup ladles. Service was polite and friendly. They even had White Rabbit candies for after dinner treats. Thumbs up all around.

My wife and I love their xiao long bao. We came here every week for a while and ordered it every time! It is the closest to Din Tai Fung in my mind. The noodle soup tasted average for a while last year, but it has improved recently. I have to say that the mapo tofu + stewed pork ribs they recommended me to try yesterday were so delicious! A big bowl of rice was finished in a short time, and I even wanted to eat more. I am glad that their chefs keep introducing new dishes, which are surprising.

Excellent food! The staff are great. You can ask for the menu or just scan the QR code to order. It was super easy to split the bill with my friend, too. The portions are great, you don't really need to order extra meat/veggie. They do give you a ton of noodles, if you are into that. We got, “Sliced Beef and Ox Tongue in Chili Sauce”, it was with Sichuan pepper; very spicy and numbing. It was great for me, I would recommend you try it! We did go in on at 11 AM on Sunday. It was not busy, and the food came out pretty quick.

I came in with high expectations due to the high reviews but walked out disappointed. I ordered the wonton soup (with extra spice), and my friends ordered the soup dumplings, wonton soup (no spice), and veggie yellow pea noodles. The restaurant service was fast & kind, and the place was clean. The price is average, not the cheapest price for the portions. I DO NOT recommend wonton soup. The noodles and wontons were over cooked, and the broth was flavorless. However, the soup dumplings were good. I gave this place three stars instead of two because my friends said they enjoyed their food except that it was a bit flavorless. I definitely chose the wrong menu item.

The whole place is fantastic! The tables/chairs are modern and the plates and cups are very nice and high quality. Not only that, but the food was authentic, flavorful, and fresh. The soup dumplings were incredible, better than the ones I have in Chinatown. Easy ordering by QR code on each table and you can order as a group which is nice! Fast service too
