LAO YU YUAN DUMPLING HOUSE

I bought takeout rice dumplings and warmed them up when I went home. When I ate them, I found that the rice inside was all raw. I was really speechless. Does such a big restaurant cost so much money to cook food? It’s not because of the distance. I really want to take it back to you. I can’t swallow it. If I do this, my business will be closed sooner or later!

A cuisine with good products, it was very good! The only downside was that communication was a little difficult with the servers due to our deafness. Very generous, we understood later that a dish was intended to be shared, we misunderstood the server's explanations.

I enjoyed my last visit, so I stopped again on Oct. 26, 2024. The food was still great. Ordered a lot more than what we could finish. Packed and brought home. If I have to do some comparisons, the Soup Dumplings with Pork were much better than Pan Fried Pork Buns.

This was my first time at Lao Yu Yuan. I very much enjoyed the food and experience. The taste was pretty authentic, the service was good, and the environment was clean and enjoyable. For the 4 dishes we ordered, I liked the "Mustard Green, Bamboo Shoots, and Pork Rice Cake" was the best. From the materials to preparation to taste were just perfect. The taste of the "Sesame Praised Fish" was great, but it would be better if a different type of fish was used. The fish was a bit too hard. The "Soup Dumpling with Pork" tasted great. The vinegar prepared for the dumpling was perfect. The dough for the dumpling was a bit too tough, especially the top tip portion of the dumpling.

In savory soybean milk, there are no dried shrimp. Food was salty in general. Meat in Xiaolong Bai was mushy. Servers were friendly, and they speak my dialect. Clean and strong ac.

It tastes terrible. The xiaolongbao and crab meat lion head are not delicious. They are a waste of my stomach.
