| - One of my absolute favourite places to grab xiao long bao in the city! It can get pretty busy at times, but the food is consistently delicious. Perfect for a meal with friends, brunch with the family, or simply to go for good old-fashioned Chinese comfort food. It's also my go-to place to order out when I have a cold; there's absolutely nothing better than a warm bowl of savoury soy milk soup for the heart and soul.
The Good: The restaurant itself is clean and modern with spacious seating. The food itself boasts amazing flavours that are both rich and comforting at the same time. My boyfriend and his family first took me here a few years ago, and I've been in love with xiao long bao ever since. The ones here are made fresh (there's even a little window at the back where you can see the chefs prepare them!), and are always bursting with soup and juice. Also really enjoy the savour soy milk soup here. My friend Lisa recently introduced me to the wontons in a spicy chili oil - they're delicious! Definitely try those, too, if you have room to spare. Even if you don't get the wontons in spicy chili oil, I'm a big fan of the spicy chili sauce that they have on each table here and love dousing my dumplings in them.
The Bad: Can get a little busy at times, but the wait never gets too long. Also, sometimes the seating can be a bit awkward just because of the size of the tables (i.e) a table of four often gets seated at a large, circular table for 6-8 people, etc.) Nothing too fussy, though!
The Ugly: How much I end up ordering and devouring when I get there. Definitely can't be good for my health, but #YOLO, no "ragratz!" ;)
Bottom line: Amazing food at decent prices, with flavours that never fail to disappoint. Call me a fan. I'll definitely be back...multiple times.
