Best pan fried soup dumplings in town! Be warned, there is lots of juice inside each dumpling and it is piping hot. Don’t burn your tongue. It is worth the thirty minute drive here. I also liked the green scallion noodle.
Newly opened restaurant in the food court of 99 ranch. Really authentic Shanghainese noodles and pan fried buns with friendly staff and a window where you can watch them make the food fresh. The pan fried buns are freshly made so there’s a 10-15 minute wait but it’s definitely worth it! The scallion oil soy sauce noodle is definitely worth a try as well.
Will absolutely not be going back. It must have taken 20 mins to get our 4 orders, and we didn't even get 6 小龍包! I wish I could say something nice, but everything to the baos was MID. Go to Love's Dumpling for good dumplings.
Fast food style restaurant and affordable prices. Ordered curry beef noodles noodles soup, wonton soup and pan fried buns. The noodles soup and wonton broth were lacking in flavors, it tasted like instant noodles seasoning, strong white pepper powder taste. The pan fried buns were good. Maybe I ordered the wrong items.
Impossible to find something authentic here in Katy when it comes to Shanghainese food, until now. You can see them make the buns by hand and cook it right there. My favorite are the noodles with spicy pork and the buns!!! I am a little ashamed that I have been there three times already in two weeks. Hahaha.
