They shouldn’t be reheating those buns. After all, they proclaimed it as “made-to-order”. What I ordered was a standard pork and leeks buns, the skins was too thick and the filling was too bland. I did go back two weekends ago and they did improved the skins as it was less doughy, but the boiled dumplings was still a bust for me. However, their steamed dumplings are much better. The only thing I would touch at this place are their steamed pumpkin and shrimp dumplings and their steamed pork and leeks buns. Their noodles should be skip as well as the boiled dumplings.

If they left the food on their station too long before serving it to you or “reheating” their leftover buns instead of making it as you have ordered, then this place really have horrible service. I haven’t encountered that yet and let’s knocked on wood on their service being improved a little more.

What kind of buns did you get? The veggie bun my BF got was really salty and far from bland. Maybe they just reheated previously steamed buns for you. That would explain its chewiness. It’s also kind of a cop-out if that were the case, considering how the restaurant is known for made-to-order buns and dumplings.

I’ll keep Kingburg Kitchen in mind though. I’m always game to try out new dumpling places.

Let me start off by saying it was a great review. I’ll let you know you and I are probably the only ones that have disappointing reviews on blog posts about this place. I too was disappointed, but it was more towards specialty of the made-to order buns that was the blandness of the filling and tough to chew dough on those buns. I’m hoping for better, but I seriously doubt it will be any better. I would recommend another made-to-order dumpling/buns place up in Las Tunas Dr. called Kingburg Kitchen if you have a chance to go and try out.
