Wei Mai Xian 味美香

Got the rice flake soup and a pan fried bao. The soup broth was still clear and had a decent amount of veggies/dried shrimp. :) the bao was good. Got a noodle soup to go.

The Xiaolongbao here is actually just a smaller version of the traditional Bao, not the soup dumplings. That being said, it’s still one of the best tasting baos around. I come here and buy the bao in bulk. They freeze/store well and easy to microwave straight out the freezer. This is not designed to be a sit down place, designed for take out and grabbing something quick.

They sell primarily Fuzhounese food here. The fuzhounese wonton was kinda salty and didn’t have a lot of meat. So I wouldn’t recommend the fuzhounese wonton here. But the pork bun was huge and had generous filling. And the mix beef noodle soup was good! So overall pretty good, it you don’t wanna go all the way to 8th Ave for more Fuzhounese food options.

In three years of coming here, I've had nothing but good cheap food. The service is of the usual brusque type I expect from a Chinese food counter. The service people are there to take an order and fill it, nothing more. I am of mixed race and alert to any attitude, but have felt none.

Very authentic fuzhounese food! The pork bun is huge and full of stuffing, a bit too oily and salty for my liking, but still very good. I really liked their fujianese wonton soup. The wontons were plump and tasted just the way I remembered in my childhood (make sure to add some vinegar to the soup). 😋 Their dine-in space is a bit limited. But most people buy and take it home to cook/eat anyways. Just a heads up, the family that operates the restaurant can be a bit unresponsive and rude. So don’t get offended…
