So I can't really say that I have a strong frame of reference in which to compare soup dumplings to one another, but my recent visit to Yu Garden delivered a strong enough experience that I'll remember for a long time.\n\nAccording to my friend, they have the best soup dumplings in Toronto. So naturally I had to check 'em out!\n\nAnd without a doubt, the soup dumplings did not disappoint! We were a group of seven, and we ordered a whole ton of dishes, and the dishes that stood out were the soup dumplings:\n\n1. Shanghai Style Pan Seared Mini Pork Bun\n2. King Sized Nanxiang Crab RoeSoup Steamed Bun\n3. Crab Meat & Pork Steamed Bun\n\nThe king sized bun is served with a straw in order to drink up the soup to help avoid spillage.\n\nBut apart from the dumplings, the other dishes we ordered were a significant drop-off in comparison. Next time I would avoid cold dishes and a dish which was just julienne potatoes with green peppers.\n\nI'm hoping that my next visit, with different dishes, will convince me to upgrade my review to 5 stars. But as it stands Yu Garden is fantastic for soup dumplings."^^ .
