| - Yay they have multiple Baos and dumplings. We shared the dumplings (jiao zi), pork and chive baos, and black bean pork noodles (zha jian mien)...or the basics, it seemed. I'll review the noodles first. I have to admit I am slightly addicted to the Korean version jjajangmyun and this was my first time with the Chinese antecedent. I found this to be a little too salty and definitely lacking the flavors that make me eat jjajangmyun every single time I eat at a Korean restaurant. I really can't speak to the quality of the Chinese version but I don't think I'll be ordering this again before I try more on the menu. Too salty, too oniony, just not quite there for me.
The dumplings I had with them on the side were delicious and I could sit and eat those all day. Full of flavor, cooked perfectly, and plump.
The bao was also really good. The dough was some of the best I have had...as someone who has never been to China. The filling didn't quite seem to fill the cavity but it tasted great. Real standard but delicious.
Finally, the red bean bao. These did not disappoint. I am looking forward to trying Chinese custard so I will order those next time but will keep ordering these if those don't turn out to be incredible.
Overall, this is good bao and dumplings. We got the basics this time, but we are looking forward to going back and trying other ones.
Also, their water container is imported from Italy and is awesome.
