One of the best Xiao Long Bao in town is One Dragon.
They kept the English name of the previous restaurant, but that had seemed to help their business. Well, having good, legit dishes helped too.
Braised Pork Belly, they always put an egg and some veggie at the bottom. Honestly, beside the sauce, which I love, I like that they don't give you all fatty meat. It goes very well with plain white rice.
Had to have some veggie to balance things out. Just their stir fried bean sprouts. Love that. One of my favorite growing up. Even though it is stir fried, sometimes they put garlic in to boost up the flavor.
La Piece de Resistance: XLB. I like theirs because there's a nice balance between the soup per dumpling ratio. You may have eaten this at places that juices are flowing out as you bit into it. Or you burn your tongue trying to eat and drink the soup at the same time. This has a nice balance somehow. Then! The skin they used is just right, not too thick and not too thin. The filling is delicious too. Like I said, one of my favorites in town.
Usually when we go, there's a 30-40 minute wait. Due to the false rumors about Chinatown, we literally went in, they cleared the table, we were sat down. Food came out in less than 10 minutes. It has definitely harmed businesses due to false information. I hope folks will go back and support them. Don't forget they are closed Mondays.
