Shanghai dumplings Xiao Long Bao Kitchen

I must say that these Shanghai soup dumplings rival those at Shanghai Dumpling King in San Francisco.  These definitely come a close second.  The soup inside is very delicious as is the pork filling.  The dumpling skin is resilient enough to withstand my amateur chopstick handling.  I’ve learned that they taste even better when eaten with the accompanying vinegar sauce.  Just don’t get too anxious like me and burn your mouth with the hot soup inside – rookie mistake.  Hehe! 8 pieces for $6.95

I get hungry just looking back at this photo.  Pan friend pork buns are SO yummy, regardless of what my friend said about how they’re made.  Let’s just say their not diet approved.  I don’t care!  I’ll sacrifice my waistline any day to eat these amazingly flavorful buns.  Great job XLB Kitchen! 6 pieces for $5.95

Hot and sour soup Xiao Long Bao Kitchen

Noms, this soup was SO good!  Hot and sour soup is one of my personal favorites, and this one was especially flavorful.  It also had a great kick to it.  They definitely didn’t skimp on the ingredients like some other Chinese Restaurants trying to save a buck.  This was the soup of the day that came with a combination meal that my friend and I ordered.  The meal was very affordable and we got SO much food.  Definitely going back to this place for the delicious food! 2 person lunch combo $14.95

How can you go wrong with these fried, greasy morsels? Although they have no nutritional value, I love their warm crispy texture and the unnaturally pink sweet and sour sauce that accompanies them. These were free, so I can’t complain.  Yum! Free with an order over $28.

Steamed buns Xiao Long Bao Kitchen

I’m not sure if I’m a big fan of these.  Perhaps I should have eaten them while they were still warm.  I decided to wait because they came with a sweet condensed milk dipping sauce and I figured they’d be better for an after-meal dessert.  Not the case!  They didn’t taste all that good when they were cold.  Lesson learned… 2 person lunch combo $14.95
