but nothing beats siu long baos from shanghai! ppl line up at 6am for them!
Lots of places in richmond have pretty good ones too, a lot of restaurants have it's own siu long bao area where the chefs are constantly preparing them.
| I'm not sure if this is the restaurant you guys are thinking about but IMHO it's one of the best shops for Siu Long Bao and it's on Granville. It's a little mom & pop store that looks a little run down but DAYAM they have the best XLB!... explosive tasty soupiness! All their other dishes are pretty good too (Spicy Beef Noodle, Dan Dan Noodle, Beef Wrap just to name a few)
It's called The Place - 8028 Granville Street (around 63rd Ave.) http://chowtimes.com/2008/07/15/the-...ncouver-south/ Quote:

Hands down the best siu long baos.
| My friend's family owns that shop, it's unexpectedly good for a Food Court store!
Edit: I've also had XLB in Shanghai and you obviously can't compare (yummy memories!) but I also went to that apparently world-famous Taiwanese super-chain called "Din Tai Fung", they franchised down in Seattle last month and it was EPIC FAIL!... extremely overpriced and terrible quality!... no wonder they expanded out of Taiwan to Seattle, they wouldn't survive against Vancouver/Richmond competition.
(Keeping in mind I never tried the DTF that's actually in Taiwan) |
