I was shocked to be served within a minute of ordering the baked xiaolongbao. 4 heavy baked xiaolongbao for 500 yen is too much to ask for. The soup inside was delicious and filling. I came to Koenji for the crepe shop on the other side of the street, but now that I have found a place with good xiaolongbao, I will visit again.
