"Xiao Long Dumpling debuted in the latter half of 2021 with a dedication to Bruce Lee and Chinese steamed buns. And while the restaurant does serve items other than the namesake dish, there’s plenty in the dumpling section to keep diners occupied: five types of soup dumplings, plus potstickers, pan-fried pork buns, and mushroom dumplings." - Jennifer Smith
"I sampled offerings at Xiao Long Dumplings, another spot in Las Vegas’s Chinatown singled out for authentic Asian food." - Rachel Chang
"A perfect soup dumpling is the stuff of dreams — soft, pleated dough wrapped around spiced pork and suspended in savory broth. It’s exactly what the aptly named spot does best. Baskets arrive under a shroud of steam, ready for the ritual: poke a hole to let the steam escape, slurp the hot broth, and add a few drops of black vinegar before the final bite. This popular Chinatown spot earns its following, with paper menus so tempting you’ll want to check nearly every box — from crunchy cucumber salad to umami-rich noodle soups and crisp beef-stuffed pancakes. Just be sure to save room for dessert: the sweet, steamy chocolate bao is comfort in its own right." - Janna Karel
"A Chinatown favorite known for expertly made xiao long bao that steam up in bamboo baskets and reveal seasoned pork and molten broth wrapped in tender, elastic skins. The meal pairs well with beef-filled scallion pancakes, cucumber salad, and spicy noodle soup, and dining there invites a little ritual—placing a dumpling on a spoon, piercing it to release steam, slurping stray broth, and adding a few drops of black vinegar. Each delicate pouch bursts with warm, rich, umami-packed flavor." - Janna Karel
"As the name suggests, this Chinatown restaurant specializes in fresh and steaming hot soup dumplings. These xiao long bao are available with fillings of pork, chicken, vegetables, and seafood, and all feature a supple dumpling wrapper and savory broth. Also available are vegetable dishes, bowls of noodles, and stir-fried entrees. Save room for a steamer basket of can’t-miss chocolate-filled dumpings." - Janna Karel
