Dough Zone Dumpling House Pork Xiao Long Bao Price

Dough Zone Dumpling House’s Pork Xiao Long Bao is a signature soup dumpling on the menu. The dish consists of eight dumplings filled with seasoned Berkshire-Duroc ground pork and a rich broth, encased in a delicately crafted dumpling skin. The dumplings are steamed in a traditional Chinese bamboo basket, a process that melts a secret aspic into a savory soup inside each one. They are served with freshly ground ginger to be mixed with vinegar for a dipping sauce. The Dough Zone Dumpling House’s Pork Xiao Long Bao price for an order of eight dumplings is between $10.85 and $11.44. Other available options are for 6 pieces and 10 pieces.

The Pork Xiao Long Bao at Dough Zone is often compared to the version at Din Tai Fung, another well-known restaurant specializing in soup dumplings. Din Tai Fung is famous for its precision, with each dumpling having a specific number of folds. Dough Zone's version is celebrated for its flavorful filling and rich broth. A simple iced tea or hot tea is a traditional beverage pairing that cleanses the palate. Customers describe the dumplings as very fresh and tasty, served juicy on the inside and amazingly tender on the outside.

Xiao Long Bao originated in the Jiangnan region of China, particularly around Shanghai, in the late 19th century. The dish is a staple at Dough Zone Dumpling House, a restaurant chain that started in Bellevue, WA, in 2014. The company's mission is to serve traditional Chinese comfort food in a modern setting. From its origins as a mom-and-pop establishment, Dough Zone has expanded into a renowned West Coast chain, with plans to open more locations across the United States.
