Finally we happened to be in this area and we saw this place so we decided to try out their famous soup dumplings (Xiao Long Bao). They have locations all over in Asia but I didn't know that.
Their soup dumplings were fine, but not the best I ever had. I had better one in Yokohama Chinatown in Japan. To me, everything was a little overpriced for Chinese food.
The dumplings were $7.25 + tax $0.71 = $7.96.
There were 10 small dumplings. Each one was made by hand, you can actually see the people making them inside the restaurant. We waited about 3 to 5 minutes.

Haven't gone here in a long time! They are pretty different from the ones in the area as the skin is really thin and the broth is not as salty for me. Much lighter feeling.
