XLB Kitchen

I couldn't stop "oooh"-ing and "ahhh"-ing during my dinner here! I have heard many mixed reviews about the quality of their food and XLB... but I must say, I am a BIG FAN! They have indoor and outdoor dining available, and the customer service is nice. Free tea for the table too! + Pork Xiao Long Bao: These XLB were seriously massive! I gasped when the waitress brought them to our table. They were incredibly juicy! The perfect amount of broth and an excellent dough-to-meat ratio. The only downside is that they ONLY have pork XLB; no crab or chicken options. + Honey Walnut Prawns: A hefty price tag on this entrée, but the prawns were a great size! I will say, they were cooked a bit firm for my liking. The overall flavor was great though! Tender walnuts, a good amount of mayo and breading... it wasn't overkill at all! It was served on a bed of fresh lettuce too.

The best dumplings. This has been my favorite place for some time. XLB is the dim sum of choice. An explosion of flavor - a salty, sweet, umami tornado. The authentic vibes and unique spin jam together quite nicely. Highly recommend this taste of home, a must try, Bay Area staple.

I like the outdoor seating and the service was quick. I ordered this spicy vinegar tasting chicken which left my mouth buzzing afterwards. Not in a spicy way but in a novacaine type of way. The dumplings weren't my favorite either. Food : 3/5 | Service : 3/5 | Atmosphere : 3/5 … More
