"This Lake City restaurant serves up a wide array of dumplings that you can order steamed, boiled, or pan-fried. Choose from cabbage, chive, fennel, or shrimp in your pork-filled dumplings, or opt for chicken, beef, and vegetarian varieties. Also delicious are the delicate xiao long bao and sheng jian bao. What’s more, frozen dumplings, buns, and bao are available to cook at home. (A new Lynnwood location not only offers nearly as many dumplings but also has an expanded menu that includes several Hunan dishes.)" - Jay Friedman
"This Lake City shop offers a variety of steamed, boiled, and fried dumplings. The steamed xiao long bao (juicy soup dumplings) are delicate and delicious, and they’re also available pan-fried for a crispier texture. In addition to dumplings, the menu includes a number of fairly ubiquitous Chinese dishes ranging from cumin lamb, tea-smoked duck, and roasted fish to a panoply of fried rice plates and noodle bowls." - Jay Friedman
"This Lake City spot offers many different types of dumplings, from chicken xiao long bao to pork and eggplant buns, and everything we’ve had here has been a winner—particularly the wontons in chili oil and soup dumplings that we could eat on repeat for weeks. But if you stop by for nothing else, make sure the beef potstickers make their way into your order. The beef’s richness makes it the best dish on the menu." - aimee rizzo
"You might surprise the server when you sidestep the Door Dashers and ask for a table at Chinese dumpling-and-noodle house Mount&Bao, since the dine-in scene doesn’t heat up until evening. Pan-fried pork xiao long bao, united by their starchy fried-out communal skirt, are required eating here — plus they come in the giant two-foot-tall multi-level bamboo steamer, very grand to behold. The hand-pulled beef noodles are a whole spectacle too..." - Meg van Huygen
"This newer restaurant in Lake City has built buzz since it opened in late 2019 for its spicy hand-pulled noodles and xiao long bao, which have been compared favorably to the venerable Din Tai Fung. It has takeout with orders accepted through the official website, and limited dine-in service before 5 p.m. each day." - Eater Staff
