The ladies who run this place are nice and seemed to be on top of their service, but the food let them down in a big way.We ordered dan dan mian, xiaolongbao, shengjianbao and jiaozi. Three of those four were not good.First, the dan dan came out. It was not quite Sichuan-style and not quite Hong Kong-style, but was OK. The soup could have done with being more peanutty, but it didn't have dried shrimp (yay!). The noodles were fine and in general no huge problems. The dumplings were a bit of
We ordered dan dan mian, xiaolongbao, shengjianbao and jiaozi. Three of those four were not good.
First, the dan dan came out. It was not quite Sichuan-style and not quite Hong Kong-style, but was OK. The soup could have done with being more peanutty, but it didn't have dried shrimp (yay!). The noodles were fine and in general no huge problems.
The dumplings were a bit of a disaster.
the xiaolongbao were poor. The skin was too thick, but fragile and burst open on every one. They stuck together and were a mess. The flavours were not right and the soup, which had escaped, was not tasty. Having just come back from Shanghai (which I know well), I had just eaten the best XLB in a few of my favourite restaurants there - these were a million times worse.
The shengjianbao were the thick, breadier Beijing-style ones as opposed to the more popular thinner Shanghai-style. They were disappointing. The filling was meagre and they were pretty stodgy with no juiciness to the meat inside.
The jiaozi were made from the same clumsy, clunky wrapper dough as the XLB. They were better flavoured, but basically chewy lumps that lacked any of the refinement of a good dumpling.
Basically, this place does low quality dumplings and bao. Go to a better place. It could also do with a good cleaning, as some of the surfaces (not dining or cooking ones), were filthy.
