He said all of their dumplings are from offsite, but they cook them there.
Yeah, I would’ve ordered something else, but the front of the house was unaware of the machine or Koi Palace connection (plus, beef and chicken XLB intrigued me). Similar to what I’ve had at MY China, each held together well, relatively large solid meatballs, not an abundance of soup. I could definitely taste the beet flavor in the purple one— feature or bug, I’m not sure. I like beets, but was taken aback enough that I don’t recall what meat was in the filling. They lack a stretchy skin, which is one of my favorite parts of XLB.
