Xlb Dumpling
Description
A lively Asian-fusion nook serving playful dumplings, baos and inventive boba in a fast-casual setting. Creative hits—pizza and al pastor dumplings, sesame noodles and standout boba flavors—arrive quickly with friendly counter service and visible in‑kitchen prep. Quality is generally satisfying and affordable, though drink prep, consistency and online ordering can be hit-or-miss, and takeout may soften baos. Ideal for adventurous eaters, families and casual groups seeking novel flavors rather than strict tradition.

This place is really Asian fusion so I'm not use to eating this type of cuisine so it was a culture shock. There's a cheeseburger bao and the dumplings come in different flavors like pizza. If you're use to eating the traditional xiao long bao, this does take a while to get use to. The Dan Dan noodles were good but are spicy. The cheeseburger bao was interesting. I'm not sure if I like it but it was an interesting fusion combo. Surprisingly, the pizza dumplings were my favorite choice. It was like a pizza bite. The Ube boba drink was my favorite thing that we ordered. It was very tasty and didn't taste artificial despite the color.
Great food, fast casual, pay at the till when you order type place. Got the soup dumplings, the prawn dumplings, the Dan Dan noodles, the pulled pork bao, and the galaxy boba.Food was delicious. Would recommend.
I'm really disappointed to write this review, but the quality of the food and beverages has taken a significant downturn. I've always loved the vegetarian dumplings and the Thai tea with cheese foam from here; they were the best I've ever had. However, my experience tonight was quite different. I even reordered, thinking it might have been a one-time mistake since it was so much worse than usual. The tea was overly watery, and there was no cheese foam—just milk that mixed with the tea instead of sitting on top like it usually does. The vegetarian dumplings were also unexpectedly spicy, even though there were no spicy ingredients listed in the description. It's incredibly disappointing and felt like a waste of money. I really hope they can return to the high-quality food and drinks I've enjoyed in the past.
The Shrimp Pork Dumplings (8) are incredibly tasty. I was pleasantly surprised by the spiciness of the included bean sprouts. The Curry Chicken Corn Dumplings (10) were decent, and the Pulled Pork Bao (1) was just average. We prefer the sweeter pork typically found in traditional pork buns.
