Xlb Dumpling - Walnut

A chill restaurant with decent XLB. A long dining room where you order at the counter and they serve it to you when ready. Service was quick and the staff were friendly. Additionally the food was of reasonable quality for the price (quality and flavor like an okay dim sum restaurant). Ordered one pork xlb, one shrimp pork dumplings, one shrimp pork sui mai, and one cheese burger bao which all costed about 32.50 before tax and tip (40.46 after tax and tip). For two people this wasn't enough for me so I ended up ordering a creamy roasted sesame noodle with braised chicken which ended up being too much for me (I could order this on it's own and be satisfied). The pork xlb dough wasn't too thick nor was it too thin and the broth was tasty but not memorable. The shrimp and pork dumplings had nice sized shrimp pieces in the filling and it was wrapped in pink dough. When it came to the sui mai it wasn't my favorite but it did the job. The cheese burger bao was interesting as it tasted like an In n Out burger inside a soft bao. My only qualm was with the sesame noodles as the noodles came a little too clumped for my liking and the braised chicken flavor didn't blend well with the sesame sauce.Is the food out of this world? No, but it is decent and I left satisfied.

XLB needs more soup, dumplings need more flavor, cheeseburger bao was tasty

Everything is dan dan noodles are my absolute favorite! Al pastor dumplings are next level!

This place is really Asian fusion so I'm not use to eating this type of cuisine so it was a culture shock. There's a cheeseburger bao and the dumplings come in different flavors like pizza. If you're use to eating the traditional xiao long bao, this does take a while to get use to. The Dan Dan noodles were good but are spicy. The cheeseburger bao was interesting. I'm not sure if I like it but it was an interesting fusion combo. Surprisingly, the pizza dumplings were my favorite choice. It was like a pizza bite. The Ube boba drink was my favorite thing that we ordered. It was very tasty and didn't taste artificial despite the color.

Simple menu, very friendly staff brought out a pitcher of ice cold water for my family on a hot day ordered the XLBs along with the Dan Dan noodles can't go wrong. Took the taro tea for the road. Looking forward to going back. The pastor dumplings are
