| - I reallyyyy wanted some XLB so saw the high Yelp rating and figured this was the place to go. And the XLB - I went for the silk skin pork one, the 99-cent special one - were fantastic. Hot, fresh, good amount of soup and just enough meat inside. The dumpling itself had a nice amount of chew and was definitely soft and silky.
I also got to try, and really enjoyed, the green onion pancake (one of the best I've had and I order these everywhere, flaky and perfectly done), the pan fried XLB (honestly maybe better than the silk skin, so crispy and delicious), and the noodles with green onion oil sauce (omg the burnt green onions, so good - very oily though!). One person at my table ordered the beef with tangerine peel and it was good, but not the main attraction. I really wanted to try the sweet corn pancakes but we were just too full.
4/5, though, for the parking (godawful, I'm sorry - I'd rather take Viva) and relatively limited menu, which is mostly dumplings and noodles (don't make the mistake I did and come here with people used to Canadian-Chinese). I'll be back.
