Xiao Long Bao (Pork Soup Dumplings)
at Din Tai Fung
★ 4.8 on Dishy
14–18
These pork soup dumplings feature thin, elastic wrappers encasing a seasoned pork filling and a generous pocket of rich broth, typically served in a bamboo steamer with ginger and black vinegar on the side. What distinguishes this version is the meticulous pleating and consistency from basket to basket, reflecting the chain’s focus on technique and temperature control. Biting into one gives an initial burst of hot, savory soup followed by tender meat and a delicate chew from the wrapper, so pacing and careful handling are part of the experience. Multiple reviewers and dumpling-focused writers consistently highlight these as a benchmark for xiao long bao in Seattle, praising the balance between broth, meat, and dough.
