Some thoughts and pics from a recent visit:
XLB - flavor good, including the accompanying black vinegar, though minimal soup (perhaps one reason they didn't serve with soup spoons). Reminded me a lot of the ones at Lao You Ju. Serves me right for ordering them at a dim sum joint . . . I just had to.
Xiao long baoHar gow - unfortunately, not nearly as good as the last time. In fact, poorly made dough that was a little too thick and even falling apart. Flavor was just fine though.

I have to agree botd - loved this dish! Here's a pic:
Pan fried eggplant with shrimpI loved the creamy texture of the turnip cakes, but the accompanying xo sauce was really just dried hot pepper flakes, with no fishy funk. The xo sauce I tried on my last visit (with seafood dumplings) was far better.

BBQ pork bunsThe pumpkin balls Jazzfood references above were tasty, albeit a little light in terms of pumpkin flavor.
Fried pumpkin ballsSticky rice in lotus leaf is delicious, though less sticky than versions I've had elsewhere. But I love the flavor.
Sticky rice in lotus leafEgg custard bun had a nice texture and delivered the promised oozing custard. It was a little sweeter than other versions I've had -- a bit too sweet -- but I still enjoyed it.

Egg custard bunI enjoyed the dim sum once again at Dolo, with a couple of standouts for sure. I also appreciate that they offer some items I haven't had elsewhere in town. For me, Dolo and Ming Hin are probably my top choices. Cai and Phoenix are pretty close too. I haven't been to Lao You Ju in some time and hesitant with all going on these days in Hu-Ville . . . I'll wait for others to report back on that one. In the meantime, give Dolo a try.
