A modern interpretation of Chinese street food bings, bowls, baos, & drinks in a luxury building.
"A dumplings-to-your-door operation offering a variety of handmade dumplings and sauces." - Francky Knapp
"Frozen soup dumplings may not be a traditional holiday gift, but these dumplings are special. They’re made by a company founded by Jennifer Liao and Caleb Wang, a Bellevue couple who pandemic-pivoted their restaurant Xiao Chi Jie into an elite-tier frozen meal purveyor. As Eater’s Bettina Makalintal writes, “After these soup dumplings spend 11 minutes in a steamer, it’s hard to believe they came out of a dry-ice-filled cardboard box. The frozen balls transform into shiny, pleated pockets, plump with pork and soup.” Right now you can buy a whole 100-dumpling set — sauces and steamers included — for the sale price of $139.99." - Harry Cheadle
"Jennifer Liao and Caleb Wang transitioned their Bellevue, Washington, restaurant, Xiao Chi Jie, into a thriving modern Chinese food brand of the same name. Now rebranded as MìLà, their frozen food company received an influx of $22.5 million in Series A funding. Its main draw? Frozen xiao long bao, available in three flavors, shipped quickly and across the country." - Bettina Makalintal
"One of Bellevue’s best dumpling specialists is focusing home kits, available for nationwide delivery on its official website (but locals can also do pickup). Diners can even order steamer trays for the frozen versions, and a selection of sauces (classic, umami, and spicy)." - Eater Staff
