Dumpling disappointment

I'm still on my quest to find Asian food that I can't make myself. One of the items on the top of the list are dumplings, specifically shanghai dumplings and xiaolongbao. I found myself with a free-ish evening and I decided to try again looking for some xlb goodness. A bit of google later and I had a location to try out. 

WTF. THESE ARE NOT XLBS!!!

THEY SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS!!!

WAI ARE THEY NOT IN A STEAMER?! WAI ARE THEY FRIED?!?! WHERE IS THE JUICY SOUP?!?!?

The mapo tofu was less disappointing but not enough to mask my pain.

Well, I won't publish the name and address of the place because I don't want to draw attention specifically to the place where I felt such utter, utter dismay.
