“Shanghai soup dumplings or xiao long bao are little pockets of meat filling with hot and clear broth packaged inside a dumpling wrapper. Dumplings come out in stacked steamers along with savory noodle dishes and veggie dishes (we really like the cucumber salad and the chili oil wontons). The wait can be long especially for large groups, so we recommend putting your name down and then going shopping at the beautiful South Coast Plaza where the restaurant is located. ”

“If you are looking for a great place to have something to eat then turning up at The Playground is a great idea. The restaurant is owned by the same people who own the Lime Truck gourmet food truck. At The Playground you will find a mixture of craft beers, excellent food and a team of staff that are buzzing with energy. The food is all made with fresh ingredients that have been prepared with skill, passion and love. This is a business that has expanded at a pace that is staggering and after just one trip here you will understand why.”
