AI Summary

CBD dumpling house famous for hand-folded Xiao Long Bao and Shanghainese comfort classics.

Busy, no-frills CBD dumpling house. dumplings are hand-folded in the front window, orders go through a scan-to-order system, and turnover is brisk.

Dumplings visibly hand-made in the front window; free hot Chinese tea; scan-and-order system; large portions noted by multiple reviewers.

Strong signal. reviewers from Chinese, Japanese and Taiwanese backgrounds independently praise the authenticity of the Shanghainese dishes.

Reviewers repeatedly call it 'affordable' and 'crazy value for the portion,' though one flagged a mince-and-bean dish as thin on filling.
