About Noodle & Dumpling 李小籠

Noodle & Dumpling 李小籠 is a restaurant where everything on the menu is perfect, from the chicken chow mein to the beef soup dumplings. The service is excellent and the food comes out quickly. The music is fantastic and the food is amazing. The staff is incredibly sweet and attentive and always looks like they are having a great time. The decor is straight out of Shanghai with one wall being red with nice graphics and the opposite wall being over the top neon. The service is top shelf, attentive without being annoying. The beef and pork soup dumplings come in the bamboo steamer, 5 per order, with good flavored broth, not over cooked and all intact. A little black vinegar and chili oil and they absolutely hit the spot. The Mongolian beef has great velvety beef and jalapeños instead of bell pepper. The chive pockets are highly recommended for an appetizer and the Plain Noodles with Sliced Chicken has delicious broth. The selection is fairly decent with a lot of variety in dumplings, buns, and bao, including regular and soup dumplings, steamed buns, pan-fried buns, and dessert dumplings. The beef or pork pan fried bun is a favorite. The custard bao is not too overly sweet and the chocolate one is much richer. The Kung Pao chicken is fire with a kick, the orange chicken is the best, and the pork buns are amazing.
