The eatery just released a xiao long bao dish ($9.95) that’s currently a chef’s special. The soup dumplings are available at all Tim Ho Wan locations. We’re told this dish is something that’s been in the works for a while, and something the eatery knew they wanted to feature.

The soup dumplings are petite and easy to eat. Served piping hot, the dumplings boast a slightly chewy exterior and are filled with a flavorful soup.
