Been wanting to try this place for a while due to its high ratings and finally got around to trying. We went on a Friday at lunch after realizing their online ordering system was broken. Conveniently, there was a Take Out kiosk right outside the door of the restaurant. Everything was pretty reasonably priced especially for the area and we ended up getting xiao long Bao, rainbow fumbling a, assorted Bao, and Dan Dan noodles.XLB: 3/5 nothing special Rainbow dumplings: 3/5 nothing special Assorted Bao: 4/5 the curry Bao were delicious and if I were to go again I'd get only the curry bao Dan Dan noodles: 5/5! Amazing and I'd come back just for theseOverall, my experience wasn't awful and I'd come back for the curry bao and Dan Dan noodles

The buns are very crispy and soupy. I really liked that they had a weekday special, $14.99 for two items!The sweet and spicy wood ear mushrooms were surprisingly a huge hit. My mom and I will definitely be coming back again!

Found this place because I was influenced on TikTok. I like this spot for a snack purposes and snack purposes only. -24k Gold Black Truffle Pan Fried Buns - Expensive because its truffle and "gold". It was good but definitely a one time thing. As soon as you bite into it, the entire filling falls out in one drop. Then you're left with an overcooked, hollow bun and you'll need utensils to finish up. The best thing, and what I really came for, was the cup of mini pan fried buns. I got this as a snack and it was convenient with it being attached to my drink. I'll be back to get this to go as a snack but I wouldn't come back for a whole dinner.

Great food! Hard to find shen jian bao in the US with the thin skin. Usually it's pan fried buns with a lot of bread.I really enjoyed the food here. Delicious and fair priced

I've been here several times with excellent pan fried buns (see previous review). I'm not sure if this visit was an off day for the restaurant but am giving them the benefit of the doubt. The wait staff was excellent. We had a large party and they helped put together a large table for us. They were very nice and accommodating.The food however, was not the same quality as it used to be. We ordered the house special pan fried buns and the corn cheese bun. The order came out pretty quickly but the buns tasted luke warm and had barely any soup which led us to believe the buns had been sitting around for quite awhile. Two people in the party did develop some stomach issues afterwards but we're not sure if it's related to the food. The corn cheese buns should be renamed to cheese buns because it may have had 3-4 kernels of corn in each bun. The ratio of corn to cheese was off. I was expecting it to taste like the corn cheese you get in bbq places where it would be salty and savory but this one was sweet. I think that should be indicated on the menu so people aren't surprised. I would not recommend the corn cheese buns.I still really like this restaurant so will come back but was disappointed in this last visit.

We've been to this location over half a dozen times and sad to report that we had a pretty bad experience this last time around (2 stars - passable). All the previous experiences were excellent though, so we'll probably come back again in hopes they didn't permanently change something.One thing that changed from the previous time was that they added quite a few new menu items. Will have to try those out in the future.Had their signature pan fried buns and the order came out in a few minutes. It was a bit fishy since they're normally made to order and take about 15 minutes. Sure enough, the temperature on these were lukewarm (instead of piping hot) and very little broth - the bun had soaked up a bit of it. Also ordered some XLB - they were at a slightly better temperature.Got some veggies - sweet and sour cucumber + some stir fried greens - both decent.I've tried a lot of their pan fried buns and would recommend pretty much all of them - regular, shrimp leek, curry, chocolate. The mini Angus I thought was gimmicky and not worth it (no soup). Today, we tried the Corn Cheese... one of the strangest concoctions I have had before. It's mainly a Mozzarella-like cheese with a tiny bit of corn. They also add some sugar to it. Don't recommend this one.

The wonton soup with shrimp has a very seaweed forward flavor which I enjoyed. The beef pancake is a little sweet for my liking, the baos, XLB and pan fried are filled with so much soup! Definitely going to be a spot I come back to!Service was friendly and it wasn't too busy when I came but it was on a weekday around midday.

When you're hungry and want something simple, Little Pan is the place to go. Upon entering, you sit wherever there is a seat, and you order by QR code at your table. We ordered the shrimp and leek buns, rainbow dumplings, scallion pancakes, shredded bean curd, braised pork noodles, and special XLB. Yes, it can be pretty carb heavy but that's the joy. The shrimp and leek buns were the winner. The skin on the bun is soft on top but crispy and crunch on the bottom. The juice inside each bun is akin to XLB where you just want to drink the broth within. If there's any takeaway from reading this review, it is to order the shrimp leek buns. All the other items were good, but not as much of a standout as the buns. The rainbow dumplings were visually appealing, tasty but didn't have the wow factor. Same with the XLB and braised pork noodles, but they were still delicious.Interior is a bit small, but clean. Service is quick and friendly.

The pan fried buns were really fresh and savory- reminded me of the authentic buns I ate in china. Would recommend coming back!
