Wanted to compare the Xiao Loong Bao here mainly, as any shop naming itself after a dish should be pretty confident of their specialty product? 蘿蔔絲酥餅 (Turnip Pastry Cake) - Great non-oily fried exterior. Internal was very hot, but the turnip has melted a bit too much to my liking and too wet. Hints of chinese ham taste. 7/10.擔擔麵 (Dam Dam Noodle, mid-spicy) - Very good, with a thick, viscous soup and the noodles were very nicely made and cooked to perfection.

蘿蔔絲酥餅 (Turnip Pastry Cake) - Great non-oily fried exterior. Internal was very hot, but the turnip has melted a bit too much to my liking and too wet. Hints of chinese ham taste. 7/10.
擔擔麵 (Dam Dam Noodle, mid-spicy) - Very good, with a thick, viscous soup and the noodles were very nicely made and cooked to perfection. The soup base was obviously the highlight, although its not authentic to Sichuan style. Had lots of ingredients - obvious ones include dried shrimps, pickle vegies, chilli, sesame, peanut, coriander, spring onion, pork fat, etc. Non-authentically good. 9/10.
紅油抄手 (Red Spicy oil Wonton) - Overcooked and skin too soft, but overall I guess acceptable? Chilli oil with garlic and coriander. Not authentic, although I like this version much better than the heavily dark soy-sauce influenced one. Wontons however could have had tastier internals and cooked better, as it is, did not mix with the chilli oil. 5.5/10
雪菜毛豆百葉 (Broad beans with Bean Curd Sheets and pickled vegies) - The 百葉 had a very strong soy taste here, unlike a lot of other places, it wasn't washed a lot at all! Overall, the 3 main ingredients in this dish together with the broth it was cooked in, did not integrate as well as it could, even though separately they all tasted great. Needs improvement, but generally acceptable and healthy. 8/10
小籠包 (Xiao Loong Bao) - Honestly, not the best I've had in HK. Din Tai Fung HK has a similar soup inside, but the meat here tasted like exactly nothing - it might as well have been chicken or fish or pork, couldn't tell. The skin was thin yet could have been better, at least its not too 'elastic, wonton like' like that of Din Tai Fung. The vinegar on the table was pre-mixed with soy sauce in my opinion. I like the Xiao Loong Bao at 又一店 at North Point slightly better, then Din Tai Fung. To be honest, none of these shop's were perfect - all had flaws.
Overall - everything was clean, tasty, everything done to a good standard yet nothing was exceptional. But for the low price, ranging from $2X-$3X-$50, there can not be any complaints, its an everyday meal type of restaurant. Highly recommended.
Service was actually really good, surprisingly - perhaps only at this store. In fact the food quality here is better than the Times Square Shop.
Very high 3's to low 4.
