I did see a group of Mainlanders,who were apparently walking down the street, stop to take a peek, but then continued on. When I was in the restaurant, all the other diners were non-Asian. Looking at the other tables in the restaurant, the xiaolongbao, not surprisingly, appears to be the most popular item with the local crowd. So to their credit they haven't filled their menu with Americanized items, but rather taken the friendliest items from the San Gabriel Valley.
BAO BEVERLY BLVD PLUS
As you might be able to see, the menu includes beef noodle soup, wonton soup, pork dumplings, beef steamed dim sum (whatever that is), beef rolls, plus their signature pork and beef steamed mantou buns, as well as pork and beef xiaolongbao. So certainly I was totally unprepared when my son Eric sent me a message that one of his foodie scouts had driven by, and even snapped a picture of the new Little Highness Bao location in Beverly Hills But it's not like they've created any kind of buzz out in Rowland Heights. Little Highness does appear to be in an expansion mode as they just opened a fishpot restaurant next to the original Rowland Heights store. They also sell dumplings and other related types of fare.
Indeed it's the only restaurant I've been to that has this kind of specialty. It opened a small storefront last summer in a shopping center on the corner of Colima Road and Fullerton Road in Rowland Heights, where it purveys a very specialized category of buns, essentially steamed mantou buns filled with things like green bean with pork, chicken gravy with pork and onion, cabbage with vermicelli and dried shrimp (with another variety substituting mushroom for the vermicelli), rib with vegetables, and beef steamed buns. Little Highness Bao is certainly not one of the big culinary names in the San Gabriel Valley.
