$35 for AYCE dumplings! We went here for lunch and decided to do their AYCE. Everyone at the table had to participate. Almost everyting on the menu is included so that was nice. You can order 2 items per person at a time and have a 2 hour window.
We started with the cucumber salad, beef short ribs, and Taiwanese beef noodle soup. All good. We ordered the steamed crab and the pork xiaolong bao. We prefer the pork over the crab. I did like their shrimp hai cao dumplings and we ordered a few of those. The food was good but we weren’t blown away. I think if you order them a la carte, prices were a bit high for the quantity of the dishes too.
We did order the pan fried xiao long bao dumplings and they came out raw inside. The were cooked and crispy on the outside but completely raw inside. I think they forgot to steam it first. Totally disgusting!
Service was good but understaffed as others have mentioned. There was one young man was taking care of everyone in the restaurant.

This is my 2nd time coming back and came particular for the AYCE option. It’s definitely one of the authentic Chinese comfort food spots. Everything we ordered came out delicious and fresh. Personally, I would much prefer this to Ding Thai Feng.
Some people complained the slow or poor service, long wait. Fortunately, I went on Saturday lunch time (11:30) and didn’t come across any of that.
We ordered crab xlb, braised beef spicy noodle plate, pan fried xlb, beef pot stickers, steamed vegetable dumpling, appetizer combo (string beans, cucumber salad, sweet and sour pork ribs). None of them disappointed us. Highly recommend.

The egg drop soup was DIVINE! Just what I wanted on a chilly night.
The vegan dumplings were very fresh and light! Dunked the dumplings in my own concoction of hot and sour soup, chilli oil, vinegar.
It’s unbelievable that all the items on the menu are below 20$! Will definitely keep coming back here when I’m in the area.

Came for dinner at around 5:30pm on a Wednesday. It was a bit busy, but the servers were very attentive, ensuring that every guest was well taken care of. Food was great, and the service was even better! My server was extremely helpful in helping me decide what to get, and her recommendations were spot on!
I started with the beef potstickers and they were very juicy and packed with flavor. The chicken wontons and cucumber salad are a MUST, and the milk green tea was delicious. The custard bun was a great dessert to end the meal too. Every dish I tried was well worth it!
The ambiance was very nice, the restaurant is a bit small but it makes for a good service. I enjoyed watching the chefs make the dumplings through an open window, which added to the experience. The overall vibe was very chic and sophisticated, definitely on par with other high-end restaurants. I would recommend this restaurant to all my friends!!

Dishes ordered…
* Braised Beef Noodle Soup
* Chicken Wonton with spicy chili
* Pan fried xiao long bao on top of milk tea
When I saw milk tea topped with Bao on Instagram, I knew I needed to try it out. Braised Beef was so soft & flavorful, broth had great flavor, a pickled veggie was included in the soup (may not be for everyone, I enjoyed it). Everything was delicious, very filling. The food and milk tea are all made fresh. I enjoyed The Dumpling Bar way more than Din Tai Fung. I would of ordered more dishes if I had more people with us. I definitely will be returning.

Every dishes is unique and delicious. We traveled to here from Seattle and found this place. We ordered fried dumplings, steamed baos, crispy pork chops with noodles,cucumber and green beans salad, BBQ ribs etc. Everything is very tasty and delicious. The servers were so kind with friendly support. Overall we really enjoyed the food and entertainment here. This is a perfect place for handmade dumplings and noodles lover. Price is very reasonable. I do recommend perhaps sharing dishes, the portion sizes are pretty big. Definitely we will comeback.

They have a popular all you can eat (ayce) option. It may or may not be worth it, because the dumplings are fairly priced. Look at the menu and add up how much you think you can eat, then compare to the ayce price (35 on weekends)
Long wait, 1hr+, join the yelp wait-list and go well before closing.

The BaoTea combo is not just a gimmick!
6 pan fried xiao long bao in a bowl placed on top of boba tea. It’s definitely a sight to see. This would be really convenient if you have to walk around and eat, but if you have a place to sit, I’d recommend separating them right away. You don’t want your hot dumplings to be cold or your drink to get warm.
The mini dumplings were tasty and even though they’re small, they still contain the soup inside! The skin is lightly fried and adds a nice slight crisp in each bite.
For the drink, you can choose any drink you like and I opted for the brown sugar milk tea. It was so good!
The service here was wonderful! The server for my table was friendly and she brought us water and checked on us periodically to see if we needed anything else.
It was quiet at lunch time on a weekday and it’s nice to be able to just take your time to enjoy these amazing food.

Now I know why there is always a line. Xiaolongbao is 100% hand-made on site.
Xiaolongbao – Savory pork with rich broth, and the tender dough with vinegar melts on my tongue is a harmonious blend.
Pan Fried pork XLB – Similar to XLB, but creates a crunchy and satisfying texture.
Chicken wonton with chili sauce – a softer and more delicate texture served with a dipping hot sauce.
Service – The service is efficient, with orders arriving promptly and drinks being refilled as needed. The waitress makes excellent food recommendations, and taking into account my preferences.
