To open a new Chinese restaurant in SGV, you better be good, or go broke. Auntie Qiu's specialities are legit. I was having lunch by myself, but I had to try their 2 specialties: the crab XLB and their pan-fried baos. Both excellent.

Came on a Sunday morning, around 10:30. We were met with speedy service and a welcoming ambiance. Being with a larger group allowed us to try several items, of which I most enjoyed the crab pork soup dumplings However, I think the rest of the items were simply alright - nothing to write home about. Some felt too doughy, and the noodle soups seemed to have an unbalanced noodle to soup ratio, which way too many noodles. We were also expecting thicker egg noodles maybe but ended up up getting what appeared to be ramen noodles?

The many unique desserts are the highlight. Recommend the twisted cruller mochi (black sesame flavor) and the osmanthus sticky rice cake with red bean. The Shanghai style soft pancake was a fun savory option with lots of different textures. The hairy crab roe noodles didn't have enough flavor. The xlb and beef noodle soup were alright. Service was efficient. The restaurant has cute vintage Shanghai theming.

Recommend! Delicious pan fried pork buns, with crispy bottom and juicy inside. Great with the black vinegar & their tasty chili oil with light Sichuan peppercorn. 4 for $6.50... wish I ordered two! Will try pan fried dumplings+ pancake roll next time.
Decor is fun. And mouthwash available in the restroom? First time seeing that lol
Wed 11:15 am plenty of seats. By 12:30 pm bustling with lunch crowd

The food is great. The jianbao is delicious. The onion flavor noodle with egg is just as it taste like in Shanghai. The steamed bun with crab egg is amazing .
On the hunt for the best Xlb ! Wife wants to try after reading such great reviews.. first of all, love the ambiance.. decorated with lots of memories of Shanghai.. 2 chefs in the store mating fresh dumplings is a plus.. 4 stars for xlb.. a little sweeter than others. Lots of juice.. I. Love soy bean milk so have to try … it was average.. doesn’t have the smell nor the richness of yung ho… wife likes the salty soy brain pudding..

Most of the menu is fine, they have so much competition - but the glass noodles in a metal pot are delicious. Friends love this place and for good reason.
