New at Taste of Beauty, West Hollywood
Vegan Xiaolongbao in WeHo
Plant-based soup dumplings, hand-folded every morning and steamed to order — with a broth that actually pours. No pork, no gelatin, no shortcuts.
No Pork, No Gelatin
Plant-Based Soup Dumplings, Reimagined
Traditional xiao long bao gets its soup from pork aspic — stock set with gelatin, folded into the wrapper, melted by the steam. Ours does the same thing without a single animal ingredient. A slow-simmered mushroom and kombu broth, set with agar, wrapped in a hand-rolled skin and pleated to order. When you lift one, it pours.
Located at 616 N Robertson Blvd in the heart of West Hollywood, Taste of Beauty is a fully plant-based kitchen — not one vegan option buried on a mostly-meat menu. Every dish that leaves our pass is vegan, including the xiaolongbao.
The Process
How We Fold Them
The Skin
Rolled by hand — thin enough to see the filling through, strong enough to hold the soup.
The Fold
Eighteen pleats, closed by hand. No machine gets this right, which is why we still do it one at a time.
The Steam
Steamed to order in bamboo, never held. What reaches your table left the steamer ninety seconds ago.
