Way before Dumpling King went viral on social media for their soup dumplings, I paid a visit to their North Miami location thanks to my late friend from the Philippines. And considering I’m an anti-MSG chick who has traveled to China and subsequently visited the world’s finest - this little hole-in-the-wall in a strip shopping center that’s suitable for a ‘Hidden Gem’ is the best spot in the USA for Xiao Long Bao. If you’ve never had their beloved homemade ball of soup - each one delicately hand-wrapped in dumpling skin and filled with flavor-enhanced broth, you can choose from Shanghai style or crab and pork. Either way, you can’t go wrong and the one tip we offer is to poke a tiny hole in the skin before you indulge to let the steam out before it hits your tongue.

Pro tip: When we first visited, it was 10 years back. They have since expanded, so if you’re in Boca, Pembroke Pines or Coral Springs, pop in!
