Bei Jin Shang Hai Delicacy in the Richmond Public Market

$4.50 for 10

According to a report on Chowhound.com, this place was claimed to be the BEST xiao long bao's available in North America.

Well, not by a long shot.

These are more like the Nanxiang Mantou Dian dumplings (as covered in Yusheng's shanghai dumpling survey, ie, skin was too thick.

The flavor was alright, and they were soupy enough, but definitely not in the same league as Shanghai River just a few blocks down. (Granted that Shanghai River is more expensive, but it is still cheaper then an airline ticket back to asia)
