Casual Chinatown eatery specializing in soup dumplings
"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
"Order tablefuls of steamer baskets that come loaded with precious little dumplings bursting with broth at this Chinatown staple. The xiao long bao soup dumplings here are poised for scooping into a soup spoon, puncturing with teeth or chopsticks to release the steam, and seasoned with the tabletop vinegar sauce. Dumplings filled with pork are decadently savory, with bites of marinated pork for texture. And save room for chocolate dumplings — which are exactly what they sound like." - Janna Karel
"True to its name, this Chinatown restaurant has plenty of soup dumplings to offer, like crab and pork, chili, and chicken soup dumplings. There are other dumplings, too, and small plates of cucumber salad, scallion pancakes, and noodle soups. Save room for dessert dumplings, like steamed xiao long bao filled with Nutella and banana." - Janna Karel
"A relatively recent addition to Chinatown, 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." - Janna Karel
