Sheng jian bao in the Bay Area

I stopped by Shanghai Flavor Shop in
Sunnyvale when I was in the area recently. I was quoted 10 minutes for a to-to sheng jian bao order,and a few minutes after the estimate I was served very fresh bao.
I enjoyed them more than any others in the Bay
Area by a decent margin. Dough was raised texture, and soup was decently soupy. I enjoyed the crispiness and flavor of the pleat-side down fry of the raised bun. They were obviously fried in a pan that can accommodate a curved surface, as their browned surface was curved, but not above the 20% bottom of the bao.
