I Love Dumpling - Beckett St.

I would have given 5 stars based on the quality of the food but took 1 star off because they kept my DoorDash driver waiting for 20+ minutes. The Pork Xiao Long Bao was amazingly delicious especially with the house-provided vinegar oil. The Hot Sour Soup broth and tofu had great flavor, it was just my error in thinking that the noodles would be soft (my personal preference) but instead they were hard and crisp.

The ginger and scallion noodles were amaaaazing! My order came with a vinegar sauce and I dipped them in that, which made them even better! The hot and spicy XLB was good too! The skin was not too thin and the size of the dumplings were bigger than I thought they'd be

Overall everything was good but not wow. Ginger Scallion Noodles were good and maybe my favorite of what I ordered. I think I wouldve preference spicy noodles, so I added chili crunch to them. Shrimp Loofah Xiao Long Bao were just flat and barely had any broth, these were a little disappointing. Vegetable Dumplings pretty good with sauce Green Onion Pancakes decent but kind of doughy versus crispy.

The Xiao Long Bao is good but pricey. The Ginger and Scallion Noodles is pricey at $16.00 Its almost all oily noodles not worth the price, the taste is also nothing special.

This order we got the pork xlb (life changing and juicy pan fried pork buns (incredible and braised beef soup noodles (also delicious . Everything came fresh and still hot (thanks Dasher! . The skins on the xlb are thin but strong, the soup is rich, and the meat is soft and tender. The pork buns were very rich, with thick, crispy, crusty, golden brown bottoms and bursting with juice . I can 't help but think you have to eat each of these in a single mouthful or else soup will dribble out of your mouth, but the pork bun is a bit too big for this (but still doable . The dumplings are best shared so you can have a variety. The soup was fragrant and the meat was tender with fresh vegetables on the side and springy noodles. EVERYTHING WAS VERY VERY GOOD. We 've also tried the boiled pork and cabbage dumplings which were stellar. In other orders we 've had the okra and green beans which were also yummier than average but clearly the star is the dumplings.
