Thank you! It’s actually the first time I was so disappointed in a product. Most of the frozen food I tried are pretty good. This one was the bottom of the list for me 🤣
They are delicious. I got them from the manufacturer directly NOT from Costco. (Maybe that’s a difference?) Maybe you didn’t leave them steaming long enough. They are supposed to be homemade so the dough takes a little longer than Trader Joe’s 3$ dumplings :) Wait until you can see through the dough. The fat should melt into the broth. They blew my mind.
They are obviously not homemade. I had seen homemade soup dumplings and they don't have that factory press indentation Mila has. I feel like Mila's advertisement about their authenticity is also misleading. It's what Chinese people called "Tricking white people" Like it's better than Bibigo soup dumplings but based on price point it's overpriced for what they are.
A friend of mine bought it at Costco and ended up not liking it. She gave me the rest of her bag to try. Yesterday, I steamed them and thought they were just meh. Today, I tried pan-frying them… I ended up losing some of the soup, but thought pan-frying did taste better. No goopy fat with the pan-frying either.
I usually use a Chinese soup spoon to eat Xiao Lung Bao so it will catch the soup. I agree that this brand is not too appetizing due to the thick wrapper and pork fat. Personally, I do not care for fatty pork...chicken and shrimp is more to my liking.
Mila is overrated for what you get especially on price point. It's technically expensive and subpar compared in texture and flavor profile. I wish i was near an Asian market like I used to just to get better frozen Xiao Long Bao with a cheaper prices. They recently replaced our local Costco "Soup Dumplings Traditional Xiao Long Bao" with "Mila" and I'm offended about them being the same price $13.99 but Milas was like half the size of the other bag and lower quality in texture and flavor. I swear their social media presence is everywhere literally hyped up the expectations for disappointment.
I appreciate your honesty. I’m unfamiliar with your channel, so I was worried you would be a paid sponsor. I’m subscribing.

@@MsMinglifestyle , I saw an ad for mila soup dumplings, and I wanted to do research before purchasing. I found your channel. Very informative video.
Oh boy!, I ordered some of these last week, I hope I won't be mad.
Flip it and bite from the bottom edge, that way it's like a cup and you don't lose the soup part.
Dumpling looks so delicious. I would love to try those
Did u watch the video . She said it’s disgusting
Appreciate your honest opinions. Glad it wasn't just me.
Surprisingly my husband, who’s always so critical, thought they were ok 😂
You want thick dough, Costco has BBQ pulled pork buns that basically tasted like doughy dinner rolls .
@@colinbrown3170 that’s a different type of bao
He is not a grouch! He is funny and honest!
Haha he appreciates that 😄

Thanks for sharing! We have some left will try the pan fry method~
Saying, "it's all fat, it's bad" right before feeding it to the kid. 🤣
lol the kid couldnt care less about what I said... well, that's a start lol
Need more soup in the dumplings!
I agree! These are not the best frozen soup dumplings!🥟
Good review. If you have ever had real Chinese dumplings…these are not good. But…I’m comparing these to dim sum I had in Hong Kong 😅
Haha still compared to other frozen ones those are not great lol
@ true.true.
haha appreciate this review, not going to get it lol
Haha thank you for watching!

Definitely! I need to buy some Chinese soup spoons! It’s funny I’m Chinese but I haven’t used them for 12 years in the U.S. 🤣
@@MsMinglifestyle I'm Chinese also and my dishes are handed down from my parents. They love oriental dishes and such.
i dont like mila soup dumplings....the texture is weird
I agree!

I agree!!!!!!
Finally got my hands on some of these and they are SO overrated. I'll never buy them again. Little pasty blobs of tastelessness...wow...so bad.
I agree!!!!!
Throw it all in the trash
