Xiang Yuen Xiao Long Bao is the place to come to for excellent home cooked, authentic, from scratch comfort food: noodles and dumplings are all handmade by the humble people who run the place. In short, I love the food here! Everything was so good.

Really a 3.5 star visit, rounded up. Quality/Quantity - Crab Meat Xiao Long Bao - My wife (as with many of the Yelp Reviews) said she could not taste the crab. But when you see the name/word crab or lobster, it just calls you to order that dish. Cooked well, good texture with both the wrapper and filling. Held the broth inside the wrapper perfectly. Shanghai Pork Xiao Long Bao - This dish was "dryer." After my first one, I decided to dip/soak it in the braised beef noodle soup. Wow, I am a genius! What a good combination, a home run. Braised Beef Noodle Soup - One of my wife's favorites. The braised beef was cooked perfectly. Melts in your mouth, but firm enough to still have texture. The broth was flavorful. The noodles seemed "store" bought. If they did hand pull noodles, then this dish would have been 5 stars. Atmosphere - Good size location, semi private room if needed. See pictures. Semi open kitchen, which I prefer. But this family is experienced and probably too comfortable with the open kitchen. Some of the things I witnessed, I probably should not have. Seems to be run by family, siblings, parents and maybe even their children...? Now this is a local family business. Metered street parking, got here right after 6pm so free for us. Open 7 days a week from 11am to 8:30 or 9pm. Service - Okay. Could have been better, but was not bad. No initiative, but they gave us everything we asked for. Everyone was working hard. But not "friendly." But again, not unfriendly, just direct. Price - $32 + tip. Very reasonably priced for what we got. As we are light eaters, I actually could have not ordered the second Xiao Long Bao. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2018, my daughter is a regular customer and encouraged us to also visit.

My SO was taking me out for dinner and we grabbed eggplant, xiao long bao and fried buns. They were all delicious and fresh ~ It certainly rejuvenated us and the service was nice and speedy.

Shanghai style restaurant. Known for their Xiao Long Bao. We ordered the Xiao Long Bao and they were really good. Lots of soup in each bao. It's best to eat them on a soup spoon. Bite a little hole in the bao and suck out the soup and then eat the bao. It comes with a tasty soy sauce based sauce. We also got the dry green beans. They look they would be spicy as they have red flakes on them. They are very tasty and not spicy. Lastly we got the Chicken Pan Fried Noodles. They were tasty and the noodles were a bit sweet in a good way. I wouldn't order it again as it wasn't appealing looking. It was monochromatic. They should have added some green into the mix. On top of the noodles was white onion, light orange carrots, and white chicken. Parking is street parking. On Sundays it's free. There is no private lot. Service- It was better than last time. We were greeted warmly and sat down and were given tea, plates, chopsticks, and soup spoons. We waved over the waiter to place our order. The green beans came out first. Then the Xiao Long Bao. When the XLB was served we placed the order for the crispy noodles. We had to wave down our waiter to get our check. They didn't check on us.

I come here quite often to grab food to go, this is one of the few times I was able to have a sit down dinner with my friends. There's only street parking around the area which kind of sucks, but if you turn into the residential areas, there's a lot of parking around. Whether you're getting food to go or dining in, there's service is really nice. It looks like a family owned business with plenty of spacious seatings and everything coming out quick. Their menus offer a lot so it can get pretty daunting if you're not sure what you want. However, at their cheap prices and generous portions, 3 of us had a VERY filling meal with a lot of leftovers to take home as well. Honestly, everything was very flavorful and delicious. I would recommend everything. I personally LOVE their pork wontons with spicy peanut sauce and would recommend trying it. Their sautéed green beans was for some vegetables in our lives and they were crunchy and garlicky. Be careful when biting into any soup dumplings. It's VERY HOT. It's worth the wait if you open a hole and let the soup cool down a bit first. I come here often and would recommend it to anyone who's looking for Xiao Long Bao or Chinese food in general. It's very affordable and super quick.

This place is actually so good. Everything we ordered was awesome! My favorites were the spicy peanut sauce wontons, spicy beef cold cuts, sautéed rice cakes (雪菜肉絲炒年糕) and the xiaolongbao. The savory soy milk was okay. My party of 3 came on a Sunday morning and were seating immediately. It started getting busy during our meal with both dine-in and to-go orders. Service is very speedy! We had easy street parking in the front, not sure if other parking options were available.
