    We had Mini Potstickers on our list for a good reason, and the reviews were absolutely right. The mini potstickers were the perfect bite-sized dumplings--flavorful, juicy, and finished with a satisfying crispy bottom. The filling of pork and chives was incredibly flavorful and well-seasoned. The only small criticism is that the dumpling wrapper was a bit thick; a thinner dough would have made them even better. I'd also love to see even more of that classic cornstarch lace and extra crunch on the bottom. The real surprise, however, was the siu mai. It completely stole the show. It was incredibly juicy and packed with flavor, with wood ear mushrooms and shiitake adding great texture and depth. The pork tasted clean and well-seasoned, without any of the strong "porky" or gamey flavor you sometimes get. Easily the best siu mai I've ever had. A must-order is the shrimp soup to go with your dumplings. It's the perfect pairing and rounds out the meal beautifully. Service was fast and genuinely friendly, and the tea was excellent as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is small, with about 10 tables, so expect it to fill up around lunchtime.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're in the area, it's absolutely worth the visit. We'll definitely be back.

    Mini Potstickers has been my go to for delicious potstickers and authentic Chinese burritos :) The mini potstickers were packed with favor and juice that I wished I had order two instead of one. For the Chinese burritos, I loved how it's made to order! Service was relatively fast- heads up, there was a 30 minutes wait for the burrito.

    Somehow food in mini size makes things more fun and tasty! Stopped by here to pick up a dozen mini potstickers on a Saturday afternoon. It was busy with a few parties waiting outside but I was easily able to make a to-go order without a line. It took about 10-15 minutes for the order to be ready, so we just sat on the tables outside. The dumplings were delicious! Since we only got a dozen, I wasn't expecting to be full, but I was satisfied with the amount. The dumplings are nicely juicy without being too soggy. I'd come back here again for another order.

    Yum! This spot is always busy, but the service is pretty fast and efficient. I think the mini potstickers (mini pan fried pork buns) are the best item on the menu, which makes sense given the restaurant's name! They are super crispy, packed with flavor, and filled with soup inside. They are basically mini sheng jian bao. My other favorite is the chinese burrito/pancake. I like getting it with pork floss. It is huge and easily shareable for 2-4 people since they cut it into smaller pieces. Sichuan hot and spicy dumplings are also good. XLB here is just okay in my opinion. I would focus on their more unique specialties instead. Overall, a great spot to check out and definitely worth trying!

    The restaurant was already open before 10:00am so we stopped by to try 3 items. The Chinese burrito was crispy, delicious, and a generous portion. The Sichuan dan dan noodles were okay. My favorite was the pork dumplings which had a nice chewy dumpling skin. It's a small place, and service was friendly & efficient. It was easy to find street parking nearby when we got there in the morning.

    My friend and her mom did the ordering and got mini potstickers, Xiao long bao, braised beef noodles, and the celery & mushroom salad for me to try as part of a large pick up order for their family of 5 who live walking distance from the restaurant. The staff were gracious and had our order ready earlier than we expected. By the time we walked back to my friend's house and she got food ready for her kids & mom, the potstickers had lost their crispiness and the XLB were too cold for me to fully enjoy (I like my food very hot). The flavors of both dishes were good (especially with me adding the chili oil to my food, as my friend's family doesn't eat anything spicy) and I liked the noodles' tasty broth and the freshness of the veggies in the salad. I agree with other Yelpers who said that the potstickers & XLB might not be the best options for takeout. I will return with my partner (who also likes spicy food) to dine in so we can get fresh crispy potstickers and spicy XLB while they're hot!

    Got 1 order of Mini Potstickers, came with 12 pieces $13.99 w/o tax It was yummy, nice pop of flavor, not a 5/5 because wrapper could be thinner. The potstickers were coated in oil. I like the amount of green onions included along with black sesame seeds. The line is a little confusing. You go inside to place your takeout order through an iPad, however it is the same line for people dining in. There were a few parties that put their name in for seating but stood in line so there was bit of congestion. Management should remind people to wait outside until their name is called. Street parking only, if you get lucky there are metered spots in front or residential street parking around the corner. Would come back if I'm in the area and wanted a fried potsticker fix

    The mini potstickers and dumplings are my favorite. The filling is very juicy. If you get dumplings in soup, the broth is shrimp flavor and quite flavorful. Some people enjoy the beef noodle soup as well.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Mini Potstickers is a tiny place that seems to be super on trend so be prepared ride a wait.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was nice. They try their best to get everyone served quickly. We ordered a list of items to try and I will skip to the bottom line -- everything tastes the same except to the mini potstickers, which was very flavorful and too easy to pop all 12 in your mouth without sharing. The hot chicken flavor "burrito" is also good but you need to eat this immediately, otherwise it'll get soggy. Price point is a little high for what you get so I this is more just hype: Hot Chicken Flavor $14.99 Chongqing Spicy noodle $15.99 Mini pan fried pork bun $13.99 Sichuan Dan Dan noodle $15.99 Three Flavor Dumpling(12) $11.99 Mushroom and Fish Dumpling Soup(10) $11.99 Pork - Mushroom & Shepherd's Purse Wonton (12) $12.99

    When a Bay Area local Top Chef World champion annoints you as a favorite, you've got my attention. The bookmark button was quickly clicked and it was only a matter of time. For weeks, I tried to find a day after work for an early dinner. Finally the past Tuesday, I came here around 5:30 pm, finding a metered parking spot around the corner on 21st Avenue. Unsure of the restaurant location, I crossed to the north side of Irving where most restaurants are found. Only after not seeing it did not learn that it's on the south side next to the corner donut shop. Walking in, there was a couple eating on the left side of the relatively small dining room (7 tables for two, 2 tables for four). I studied the menu and pretty much knew what I wanted to try. I started with the braised beef noodle (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=-3YI9lathgyQTdlkBqbLTw); noodle pull (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=kpYmql81ISyO8mnLuTqIqA); there were 7-8 pieces of tender beef stew, tender and flavorful from the herb mix they braised them. The broth was nice with medium deep flavors while they noodles, on the thicker side meshed well with everything. I would have this again. I also tried their mini potsticker with soda combo (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=6Bp4iO6EIIu1lghmN1HilQ) of which I opted for a can of Diet Coke (not pictured). They are dim sum sized. They make their own chili sauce so do use that if you enjoy them on the spicy side along with the table provided black vinegar. The dumplings were medium juicy. I liked the generous green onions that topped this as well as the black sesame seeds. Wanting to try more of their menu, I brought an order of green onion pancake (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=DOAhy1XCmkBzjIvt5s7E6g) home. I tried one later that evening at home and enjoyed it, trying two slices as I watched TV. This was the thinner, layered version as opposed to some places that do a doughy version. Initially, it was one lady greeting incoming guests and waiting on tables but a second lady came about 30 minutes later. There was a steady flow of customers, couples and a solo diner, while I ate. There were a number of customers who ordered at the iPad just inside the doorway for takeout. I enjoyed my meal and everything was fine. After leaving and walking about a half block towards my car, I noticed that my small box of unfinished potstickers was not in my takeout bag. I went back and they found it packed with the other takeout and quickly apologized and handed it to me. I look forward to trying more items on their menu when I return. #2200.

    Was really excited to try this place after seeing Chef Melissa King post about it on IG but i thought it was just ok. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is pretty small inside and there are two tiny tables outside but you have to order to-go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a self service kiosk for to-go orders too. We tried the mini pan fried pork buns, the beef noodle soup, and a jianbing with chicken and beef (you get to pick two meat options). The mini pork buns were pretty oily but did have a good amount of soup inside them. The beef noodle soup had a really strong star anise flavor that i personally am not a fan of but my mom liked it. The jianbing was pretty soggy and hard to eat. The chicken and beef were sort of like lunch meat slices with shredded lettuce and some hot sauce. Wouldn't order it again but if there's a next time i'd try the burrito instead

    We came by Mini Potstickers to try their signature dish and got an order of mini potstickers and jianbing (Chinese burrito) with sausage and chicken. I also wanted the Shanghai style tofu pudding but they they were sold out for the day. The mini potstickers were yummy with a good amount of soup inside considering how small they are. It's fun to eat in one bite and I can see why this would be a great to-go snack. I do think they're on the oily side and would still prefer regular shengjianbao. The jianbing was pretty good as well - I like the thin crispy cracker layered inside for crunch and it had a good kick from the chili sauce. It felt a bit odd that the chicken they use is a thinly sliced deli meat chicken but I surprisingly liked the inclusion of lettuce and one is large enough to share between 2 people. Overall solid meal, we were full from just sharing the 2 items as they're pretty carb heavy and while it didn't quite live up to the expectations of the snack foods I love in China, it still hit the spot. We did experience couple of small mishaps like our server accidently added on an item that we then got corrected once the order slip came and we asked for no cilantro in the jianbing but still got cilantro. They're busy for sure but the service felt pretty messy even for a casual spot.

Overall, we were super impressed with all the food. Everything other than the chow fun were super unique, but all the flavor combinations worked so well together. While the chow fun wasn't unique, I'd say it's still a very solid dish. Everyone in my party left full and satisfied. The food is a bit on the pricey side for it what it is, so I wouldn't come here regularly but I think that it's worth coming for a special occasion.

I also appreciate the free peanuts and cucumber salad that you get when you're seated. My boyfriend and I ordered a lot of food because we wanted to try so many things! The lamb skewer was super moist and had a nice flavor. The XO escargot with milkbread had a nice buttery, garlic taste. The milk bread was fluffy and when dipped in the sauce it tasted very rich. We also got the clay pot rice and it reminded me of when I had it in China. The rice was crispy at the bottom and well seasoned. My favorite dish of the night was the squab. It was cooked excellently and the skin was really crispy. The five spice powder on the side really brought out the flavor of the meat. The eggplant was cooked well and portion was good but it didn't stand out as much as the other dishes. Overall, I would visit this place again. It definitely lives up to the hype. The squab and and clay pot rice were the stand outs to me but all the other food was really tasty as well.

The chow fun I had really high hopes for. My memories as a child having had chow fun all the time, had this distinct taste to it and made a certain way. Their chow fun was good, but I think it was lacking a little flavor? I also wish they used the wider noodles instead of these thinner ones. :( It wasn't bad at all, I just had a certain expectation. So far, there's only one place that is reminiscent of what I remember and it's in Sacramento. That being said, we will still come back because I would love to try the Simon's garlic chicken and more of the pancakes!

    Very cute HK style cafe with the best soup dumplings!…read more Stopped by on a Tuesday at 1300 and it was packed, which is a good sign! We ordered the HK style milk tea which wasn't the best. It had its signature flavor but felt watered down. I would pass on it or give it another try. Loved the tea eggs ! It's very hard to find a place that does it right. You can tell that the eggs were marinated enough by the color and perfectly salted. If I lived around here, I would get this all the time for breakfast! The congee itself was very good, nice flavor and the rice was cooked perfectly. The pork liver was definitely overcooked and dry, I would skip the liver and go for something else. The wontons and soup dumplings were so good! 5/5 I love that they don't mince the shrimp, instead they cut it half which gives each bite the perfect texture. The soup was made very well- nice and light. Favorite part was the soup dumplings. I'd dare say, these taste better than Din Tai Fung in SJ. 6 pieces instead of 10 but the size of these dumplings were massive. I was afraid they would be dry but that wasn't the case at all! Every bite had hot soup spilling out it and the soup was amazing! It had just the right amount of salt. They give you a side of vinegar which adds a tang to it ! This is a must get !!

    Since we didn't have a reservation, we were seated in the bar area through a separate entrance --…read morenot sure if that mattered, but this was honestly the worst Chinese food I've had in the U.S. Nothing tasted fresh. Every dish came out fast-food quick, like it had been pre-made and reheated. The meat in the fried rice was tiny and tough, the eggplant skin was chewy, and the fried items were all soggy. The best thing we had was the salad -- dressed in what tasted like store-bought sweet chili sauce. An 18% gratuity was automatically added for our party of three (including a small child) -- no one informed us until the bill arrived.
