So let’s keep moving.Ĭrispy beef, a dish about which my brother raved to the heavens and back. Of course, a place can have excellent one dish, and everything else sucks. While this is a place I’d be wary of taking soup dumpling n00bz – nothing angers me more than watching that beautiful broth go to waste because someone pops and drops it (this is the same as going hungry, because then you don’t get to eat!) – because the skin is so thin, even an expert like me has trouble picking them up sometimes (though I am happy to report I didn’t break any, because the mocking my brother was already doing of me was enough to make a sane person mad – good thing I’m not sane!) – I mean it’s just so good. Here, the richness of the pork broth – I mean it’s rich and coats the inside of your mouth like you’re a $5 – wait, this isn’t that kind of blog – just delicious, then that tang of seafood comes in and says “hello, I am here to make you happy, love you long time” – wait, again, this isn’t that kind of blog! – along with the wonderfully thin but pliant skin… it just works. Or worse, they skimped out on that delicious essence of crab. I know a LOT of people who say either that they can’t taste the difference when there’s crab meat or not, but if you can’t taste: you’re either not looking, your palate sucks, or the restaurant screwed up and gave you the wrong order. And these, my friends, are pretty darn tasty. I don’t mess around when it comes to my soup dumplings. ![]() I mean if you’re going to put “xiao long bao” in the name of your restaurant, your xiao long bao better be damn good, right? Xiao long bao, aka soup dumplings… well, let’s just say that I’m kind of an expert on them. ![]() $3.75 seemed okay to me, but I get what she means – she raised me, after all – and acquiesced (and will order them when she’s not around, muhahaha!). Soaking out that delicious soy sauce/scallion oil in the bottom of the bowl… oh I really liked these, yes I did, though FeistyMom decreed them a waste of money for next time, sadface. So springy I could probably bounce a couple of feet high if I had enough noodles spread below me. I’ve never had scallion noodles, I don’t know what possessed me to order them, but these noodles – this is not hunger talking – were super springy. THANK GOODNESS I DID, because my stomach was starting to burn a hole in itself trying to eat it, and this came so quickly that FeistyMom and I practically inhaled it all before stopping for breath or to let bro take a pic. Thankfully, it wasn’t that long, but when we sat down, I abandoned my “order whatever because I haven’t been here and you guys have, so you know better what to get” and last-minute added an order of scallion noodles. Post-dentist visit one Saturday, FeistyMom, bro and I headed here and found a wait. Someone once suggested he throw a potato at me, and the look of pure fury I turned on him probably said it all. One of the things you need to know about the Sins: if we’re hungry, back away slowly while throwing food to us. ![]() Heck, I might even go again before this post goes live. ![]() My brother discovered a new place, and as with any place my family likes – I wind up going a couple of times in quick succession before I can even post about it.
