Hangzhou Xiaolongbao, Chinese restaurant in Da'an District, Taipei, Taiwan
Hangzhou Xiaolongbao is a restaurant in Taipei's Da'an District that specializes in handmade soup dumplings with delicate, thin wrappers. Each dumpling is filled with seasoned pork and steaming broth, prepared fresh to order for every table.
The restaurant was founded by two brothers who trained as apprentices at a noodle soup workshop before opening their own establishment. What began as a small venture decades ago has grown into a recognized restaurant known for consistent quality.
The restaurant preserves the traditional craft of steaming xiaolongbao, allowing diners to experience how this soup-filled dumpling connects to broader East Asian culinary practices. The care invested in each portion reflects a respect for techniques passed down through generations of cooks.
The restaurant serves guests from Sunday through Thursday starting at 11:00 AM and closing at 10:00 PM, with extended hours until 11:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. Arriving during meal times means you may face a wait, particularly on weekends.
Beyond the classic pork versions, the menu includes red bean pancakes featuring two types of beans wrapped in a crispy sesame crust. This shows how the kitchen applies its dumpling-making skills to different ingredients and formats.
