My family loves dumplings (I mean, who doesn't?), and I'll say the best Xiao Long Bao we've tried are from Lin Chinese Cuisine and Tea House along West Broadway (between Granville and Fir).
Moreover, they have such a great lunch deal. You get to choose a dish, and its served with a cup of rice and your choice of soup only for $10.99! The dish serving is good for sharing too.

From Hemlock to Fir along West Broadway, there are three Chinese restaurants: Broadway Restaurant (along Hemlock), Fortune Garden Restaurant, and Lin Chinese Cuisine. The cheapest is the Broadway Restaurant, but the quality of food is not close to the other two. I think Fortune serves good food, but too expensive. It's geared towards big family events. Then, Lin provides excellent food at a great price.
