Three Meat Dumplings
I was craving Chinese braised beef noodles and came across this shop on Google maps. It’s fairly new restaurant, but already very popular place. When I went in around 5:40PM on Saturday the store was filling up, and by the time we were leaving there where people waiting for tables. It’s fairly a large dining area if I were to guess it seats maybe 50-75(or more?) people.
We ordered the spicy House special beef noodle, and the spare rib noodle. Also ordered the shrimp, pork chive and egg dumplings and Xiao long bao.
First off the Xiao long bao was very good. Juicy and as I would expect a Xiao long bao should be.
Next the noodles. The soup and noodles were very basic as you you would expect at any decent noodle shops. The braised beef was very good, the other meats were not as good as the braised beef. What I’m saying is that if I was to order, I’d only want the braised beef. The soup wasn’t very spicy and I ended up adding more chili oil to it.
The dumpling were as I would expect at any decent restaurant. The hardest part is to decide on which one to order.
Finally, this place doesn’t serve free tea, However they have selection of tea that you can choose from. I already forgot which tea we ordered, it was good, but I like dumpling places that give you free tea.
The restaurant was packed all with Asian people, mostly Chinese, It must be a good sign of quality of the food they serve there.
Updates menu prices added with my photos.
Friendly staff, plenty parking, I would go back when I crave noodles and dumplings as it is fairly close to my family’s home.

Xiao Long Bao Soup Dumpling
5 stars for this newly opened spot. We came in 15 minutes before their 3:00 close but the staff was very accommodating. Their seating area has clean booths and tables with lots of light for a very pleasant dining experience. Fun also seeing the staff behind the glass preparing noodles and other items. We ordered the beef noodles with spicy broth and some Xiao Long Bao for a quick lunch. They came out quickly and at the perfect cook and temperature. Both items were delicious--lots of great flavor and textures. I am in love with the XLB and wish they added more ginger to the dipping sauce. The broth was a bit TOO spicy so maybe next time we will ask for milder. Final thoughts: definitely a hit and look forward to returning.

Xiao Long Bao Soup Dumpling
Cucumber salad is very refreshing. Cabbage and pork dumplings were a little bland. xLBs were just ok. Juice but also a bit bland.
This is really big for a dumpling restaurant. Very clean and new. Staff is nice.
Their dumplings are amazing. I have been going to their SF location for years, now they are in Burlingame it is shorter commute.
