The best soup dumplings in Toronto are the perfect remedy to cold, dreary days. Xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) are little pockets of meat and soup in a familiar dumpling form. The soup is frozen into a solidified cube and folded into the dumpling wrapper. Once the dumplings are steamed, they melt and form that piping hot goodness you get when you bite in. But beware -- these little morsels are incredibly hot so try letting some steam out first (by biting tiny holes).
Below is a list of some of the best soup dumplings in Toronto.

This popular chain can be found all across the GTA. Though they're popular for many Northern Chinese dishes like buns, noodles and Peking duck, their soup dumplings are underrated and worth getting with every meal. They have some with scallop, pork and luffa (hence the green tinge).
