" Had a marvelous dining experience. The xiao long bao were top-notch, and I enjoyed the unique flavors throughout the menu. Casual atmosphere great for dining with friends. Can't wait to return and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" My first visit was great, the xiao long bao were excellent! The ambience was cozy, and I found the service attentive. However, I felt that the portions could be larger for the price, especially for the noodles. Still, I’m looking forward to coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came in with high expectations, but I found the dumplings to be alright, not the best I’ve had in town. They were not bad, but lacked the rich flavor I was hoping for. The staff was friendly and accommodating, though the seating felt cramped. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what a discovery! I went to XLB after hearing rave reviews about their dumplings. I tried the xiao long bao and was blown away. The broth inside was rich and flavorful, and the dough was perfectly steamed. The atmosphere was lively and lively! I will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just alright, unfortunately. The xiao long bao didn’t have the thrill I was looking for. The service was fine, just a casual vibe. May give it another chance in the future, but wouldn't rush back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere was nice, but the food fell short of expectations. Both the xiao long bao and the pork bao were bland. The service was adequate, but I expected more from such a popular place. Not likely to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pretty good, but be prepared to wait if you come during peak hours! The flavors are excellent, particularly in the noodles and wontons. I do wish they offered larger portions or combo options though because I left feeling a bit hungry. " (*Curated Review*)
