I came for the dumplings but had my heart stolen by the sticky rice roll.XLB are good. They come in little cups with a side of a vinegary sauce. A little hard to picnic with. I ended up putting the whole thing in my mouth and drinking some sauce to mix it all together. Probably TMI but it works!Pan fried pork buns are also good. I like that they are not too big.Chili wontons had a nice topping of pickled mustard root and peanuts which provided nice contrast.But the sticky rice...read full review
One of the best XLB places in SF -- I originally wanted to try this place for their sticky rice roll (hard to find places that sell these in SF).

Dishes ordered: peanut noodles, sticky-rice roll, beef noodle soup, bean curd (appetizer) and chili-oil dumplings all to share.

I saw raving reviews about the dumplings and potstickers and had to try it out. I usually find dumplings good but not outstanding. These dumplings were AMAZING. I got the vegetable potstickers.
