| - Next stop on my soup dumpling journey: Dumpling King
Lots of mixed reviews, but I came here determined to see for myself. I was very pleased!
Once I walked in, I was bombarded by the sight of super bright red floral chairs. There was only one other table there, so I was immediately greeted and seated at a table. It seems like the smallest tables they have are 4 tops, which isn't bad, but sitting there on my own almost tempted me to order enough food to fill up all the space :P
After my eyes recovered from the chair assault, I took a glance at the menu to find the Juicy Beef Soup Dumplings. It took a few minutes since the layout is a bit weird. Protip - the menu items skip numbers because the pictured items are removed from the list.
Anyway, the soup dumplings were so good! I've seen some reviews saying some or all dumplings came broken, but I guess I was lucky, as all of mine were intact! Filling as well as broth were flavorful (nice amount of ginger). My new go to place for these!
I ordered some green onion pancake too, just so the dumplings weren't lonely. Standard, good with soy sauce and chili oil/paste.
Food came with a complementary pot of tea.
Woohoo! So far so good on my soup dumpling hunt. I'm eager to see if I can find better here in Vegas, but I'll be happy to come back here until that happens. I've read this place is almost as good as Din Tai Fung, which was highly recommended to me. I feel like there's a trip to L.A. for new in the near future : )
