Forkelo ranking · Updated September 2026
1 xiao long bao across Sunnyvale, ranked on what people say about the dish itself — never the restaurant's overall rating.
Dumpling Depot · Sunnyvale
3 dish-specific mentions · 33% positive · 2 source types · menu verified September 2026
Hot and freshly made, but the wrapper is thicker and the soup thinner than soup-dumpling regulars expect. The kitchen's stir-fries outshine them.
Every score is built from evidence about the specific dish: how often locals recommend it, how strongly, how recently, and whether independent sources agree. A restaurant's overall star rating is never converted into a dish score.
Quality and confidence are reported separately. A dish two people loved can score high, but it is marked early ranking until more evidence backs it up. The whole calculation — every constant, and three dishes worked through line by line — is written out on the methodology page.
