盛園絲瓜小籠湯包 (Sheng Yuan Loofah Dumplings) was established by a person who used to work at Din Tai Fung. He has since passed away, but his family has kept up the quality of the restaurant. Some people compare Sheng Yuan to Din Tai Fung, but I look at the two restaurants as separate, as Sheng Yuan has types of dishes that Din Tai Fung doesn't: Sichuan, Hakka, etc. Therefore, I recommend visiting both establishments instead of choosing one over the other. Sheng Yuan is cheaper than Din Tai Fung and has some very nice dishes that you won't find at Din Tai Fung. I especially liked a unique dish that's more of a dessert dish than a savory dish: Pineapple Shrimp with Mayonnaise. The deep-fried, breaded shrimp went along deliciously with the sweet pineapple and mayonnaise. Sheng Yuan's signature dish is their pork luffa/loofah dumplings. I thought their dumplings were delicious, but personally, I don't think the luffa really mattered in that equation, as it can barely be tasted; the dumpling's broth and flavorful meat can definitely be tasted, and that's what makes their dumplings so good.
It took me several visits to try enough dishes for a review, and I didn't take any pictures at all on my first two visits before I realized that I had to do a review for them, being that people should know about this place. There is a similar restaurant right around the corner from Sheng Yuan (Hangzhou Xiao Long Bao 杭州小籠湯包) that I ate at once and found out that they were just okay, not at all as good as Sheng Yuan -- no comparison!
