This is a really solid dumpling house that just opened up on Main Streef. Shenjiang Bao are a close approximation to what I had in Shanghai/Suzhou. Bottom is nicely seared/crunchy, packed with scalding hot soup although I wish there was a slightly better meat to dough ratio. For $9.99, you can’t do much better on PQR.

I’m not sure where it stacks up compared to Kang Kang or other contenders in LA but what I had was legit. Will be back to try their hand pies next. Bonus points for extra spicy homemade chili oil and friendly staff.
