The Crab Roe Soup Dumplings Here Are Even Better Than Din Tai Fung! 🦀

When you think of soup dumplings, is Din Tai Fung the only name that comes to mind? I tried Bao Master, newly opened in the Chinese district this weekend, and it completely changed my perspective — they’re actually better than Din Tai Fung! The vibe is definitely upscale, but prices are super reasonable — amazing value for money.👍😁 Their Crab Roe & Kurobuta Pork Soup Dumplings are absolutely incredible — thin skin, generous filling, and bursting with broth. I’m still dreaming about them! The giant “jumbo” soup dumpling is also a must-try — just be careful, the soup inside is piping hot! Wait a few minutes before taking a bite, or you might burn your mouth 😅 Their wontons are fantastic too — seems like anything with a wrapper and filling here is done exceptionally well.💕😘 For sides, I tried the yuzu cucumber — refreshing with that sweet-tangy yuzu flavor. A bit on the tart side for me personally, but if you love yuzu, you’ll enjoy it. And a pleasant surprise — their drinks are unexpectedly refreshing! The yuzu green tea and grape green tea might just become my new favorites. Highly recommend! So next time you’re craving soup dumplings, know that there’s now a serious contender to Din Tai Fung 🥺 📍 Bao Master 108 S Monterey St, Unit 102, Alhambra, CA 91801 #SoupDumplings #CrabRoeNoodles #LAFood #XiaoLongBao #BetterThanDinTaiFung
