Finally Found Excellent Pan-Fried Buns & Soup Dumplings in Seattle!

Came here during peak weekend hours — only had to wait for two tables, not bad at all! 👥✨ Here’s what we tried: 🥟 Juicy Pan-Fried Buns (Sheng Jian) The star of the meal! Though made with a slightly leavened dough, the skin wasn’t thick — and oh, the soup inside! 💦 Even after sipping carefully, each bite still burst with hot broth. The bottom was perfectly golden and crispy 👌 It stayed warm throughout — still hot even after we finished our soup dumplings! Minor downsides: the filling could be sweeter, and there was a slight porky taste (but still acceptable 😉) 🥢 Pork & Shrimp Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao) Wanted the crab roe version, but it was sold out 🦀😢 These had thin, slightly chewy skins and plenty of soup — again, just missing a bit of natural sweetness, likely due to the ingredients here. 🍜 Sichuan Dan Dan Noodles Not exactly traditional, but the flavor was tasty! The sauce was rich with peanut butter, chili, and vinegar — a hearty, comforting bowl 🥜🌶️ Though I usually prefer a sweeter, more delicate flavor profile, this is definitely one of the best dumpling spots in Seattle — and we’ll be back! (P.S. They’re offering a 10% opening discount — might still be going on! 🎉) 📍 Dumpling World #SeattleEats #SeattleFood #XiaoLongBao #ShengJian #DumplingLover #SeattleLife #WeekendBites #ChineseFood
