So delicious. I though it would be like a bafang but it was not at all! The pricing is definitely on the expensive side but these dumplings hit the spot. The crab pork xlb juices were super savory and juicy, and the meat ting was not dry at all. Sometimes at other xlb places, even with juice the filling comes out dry but not thumblings. The chives pork boiled dumplings were also soft and juicy. It comes with a sweet chili sauce that compliments it well. We got wontons after the 2 others didn't fill us completely. The wontons filled us after, so 3 items for 2 people is my fill meter. The wontons were piping hit. Hotter than the soup itself so it's likely they boil the wontons seperately then add the soup. The soup was a basic pork bone soup flavor. Workes are kind of rough, you would have to approach them if anything and don't wait to see if they ask you are eating there or togo. If you eat there, sit anywhere, they don't seat you and you just scan the qr code. I did the mistake of thinking we order at counter and then we sit, but order at counter only for pick up. They weren't super nice or clear about it BUT as long as the food is good and they also worked the 4th of July so thank you. All in all come here for those xlb cravings.

Food was so good! We ordered the chicken xlb, chicken wontons, beef udon, cucumber salad, green beans, and steamed veggie dumplings! The xlb, wonton, and dumplings were so good! Wish they had some more shrimp options though, if I recall they used to have some shrimp wontons but everything has pork now :( The beef udon had a rlly good taste to it but there was absolutely no beef in it! Disappointing tbh Service was very average, nobody takes your order, they don't talk to you or call your name when seating you. Just ask to see your phone to see your number in line. Overall, ambiance, service, and food included would give it a 4/5

My boyfriend and I ordered the following items: - Marinated seaweed & bean sprouts salad - Beef tenderloin with black pepper udon - Spicy pork xiao long bao - Wonton soup + extra noodles We scanned the QR code to place our order and food was quickly delivered to our table. We agreed everything tasted great. The only negative feedback was the restaurant was a bit stingy with their ginger slices. We asked if we could have a little extra, but they said we would have to order additional dumplings, otherwise it would be an extra charge. We decided to not order anything extra and just stick with what we had. The ginger ended up being a bit watery, so it's a good thing that we did not pay for extra! The restaurant was very packed and busy, but the wait wasn't bad for just 2 people. We placed our name on the waitlist and waited about 20 minutes. In addition to dining in and ordering to-go, they have a freezer if you want to purchase uncooked items. Their dumplings were great, so if it weren't for the extreme heat and long drive back to San Diego, we would've bought some frozen dumplings! The restaurant was packed, but it felt like the AC was barely on. Bring your own portable fan and avoid ordering soups if you go when it's hot!

We came here for lunch, wait line was about 20-25 mins. Once sat down, you can scan the QR code and order online. Services were attentive. Came back and check on you a few times! Environment is clean, no complaints about it. Food is awesome! Very tasty and flavorful! The only adjustment I would recommend is less oil when stir frying the rice cake.
