Legit Xiao Long Baos in California?

Yup! You heard right! No, it's not Din Tai Fung...
There's a place in Irvine called A&J Restaurant which serves 4 Xiao Long Baos for $3.25, not bad of a price. A good way to know if it's legit is how thin the wrapping is and how well it holds the juice/soup. Another key indicator I personally love is the color of the meat inside, if it's nice and pink, it's usually a good indicator for some succulent juicy pork meat! They have other locations but I didn't have such a good experience at their other location (Arcadia,California).

Remember the best dipping sauce for these dumplings is a ratio of 3 to 1 of Vinegar to Soy Sauce.

Let me know what you think!
