Xlb Kitchen - Cupertino

I've dined here several times with friends and family. The Xiaolongbao (XLB) is fantastic, featuring a delicate wrapper filled with delicious soup. We often order the pork belly with sticky rice, which is really flavorful. The wonton soup is also good, and both the fried rice and noodles are enjoyable. My friends especially love the chili oil wontons. The service is friendly and efficient. If you're visiting with a group, it's best to make a reservation, as it can get quite busy during lunch and dinner.

The food was delicious and arrived quickly. I ordered the baby bok choy and salt and pepper fried fish, which was perfectly cooked and crispy. The XLB (soup dumplings) were tasty, and the Shanghai fried rice was excellent, especially with the addition of chopped bacon. The service was attentive and prompt. We spent about $60 total, which was a generous amount for two people. The atmosphere of the outdoor seating was lovely, complemented by the soothing sounds of a fountain, classical music, and pleasant lighting.

The chef's special, smoked duck, had a lot of feathers in it. I spoke with the owner, and she mentioned that this is normal and that she considers it just part of the dish.

The xlb are fantastic! Definitely one of their best dishesFood: 5/5

Food was good, especially the Xiaolongbao was very good. Green onion pancake was mediocre. The atmosphere and service are ok. Don’t bring your date here though.
