“There are many idiots rating this place low for no reason. The foods were all very flavorful and delicious. The waitresses were all very friendly and kind. We ordered the braised pork belly with the preserved vegetables, eggplant and beef, as well as the Kung Pao chicken. I recommend every one of them, they were all great.“

“BETTER THAN DIN TAI FUNG!
Nobody can beat Paradise Dynasty's Xiao Long Baos. Nobody.
Their xiao long bao variety is very unique and all are extremely tasty. I was so shocked that they had chicken xiao long bao. I have only tried chicken xiao long bao from Trader Joe's and a small place in Chinatown in NY but none of them were as good as the chicken xiao long baos here. I am apalled at how they're able to create a xiao long bao with chicken without it having a raw smell or cartilage mixed in. And the best part? The soup inside. Wow.

The only thing I want to complain about is the fact that they changed their xiao long bao sauce a while back and now it's more sweet than sour. I used to love their sauce but the new one is not my favorite. Also now they don't even give you xiao long bao sauce unless you ask for it for takeout so make sure to ask for xlb sauce and ginger.

Since everyone likes to compare PD with Din Tai Fung, I can say that PD is definitely better. I've had DTF twice in the past, yes twice, to make sure that the first time wasn't just a bad day for the chefs, and it was horrible both times. DTF is not authentic asian cuisine, it caters to western people. As a Chinese/Taiwanese American I have to say that PD takes the cake and will always be better than DTF.

My favorite dishes are the Chicken xiao long bao, sauteed pea shoots, hot&sour noodle soup, sweet & sour fish, and spicy wood ear mushrooms. Our server Hendry was amazing on Christmas Eve!!“

“Mama Lu Dumpling House is an absolute gem for dumpling lovers! The handmade dumplings are always fresh and bursting with flavor, especially the juicy pork and chive and xiao long bao that arrive perfectly steamed and full of delicious broth. The scallion pancakes are crispy and not too greasy, while the noodle dishes bring authentic, comforting flavors that make you feel like you're in the heart of Shanghai. The ambiance is no-frills, but it only adds to the charm, and the staff is attentive and efficient even during busy hours. If you’re craving authentic Chinese dumplings and noodles, Mama Lu is a must-visit!“
