There’s something comforting about returning to your go-to Chinese dishes—the ones you already know you’ll love. But what if they came back… a little different? 

At Red Lotus, familiar flavors are getting a bold, playful remix—turning classic favorites into something far more exciting (and definitely worth talking about). Case in point: the beloved Xiao Long Bao. This time, it arrives in two unexpected forms—Fiery Xiao Long Bao, bringing heat and depth in every bite, and the Xiao Long Bao, a rich, dessert-worthy twist that’s equal parts surprising and indulgent. It’s the kind of duo that makes you curious enough to try both—and glad you did.

Beyond the dumplings, the menu continues to blur the line between comfort and creativity. The XO Sea Food Fried Rice delivers a deep, umami-packed flavor that elevates a staple into something more luxe, while the Broccoli and Okra Soup offers a lighter, soothing counterpart that rounds out the meal beautifully.

And if you’re craving something a little more indulgent, Red Lotus’ new wing lineup has you covered. The Garlic Parmesan Wings bring that savory, cheesy richness you already love, while the Red Lotus Buffalo Wings add a bold, tangy kick—familiar flavors, reimagined with a signature twist.

Over at Modern Shang, the approach leans into timeless indulgence—with one standout dish that’s made to gather everyone around the table. The Peking Style Roast Chicken is crisp, flavorful, and deeply satisfying, offering that perfect balance of texture and taste. It’s the kind of centerpiece that turns any meal into an occasion—whether you’re celebrating something big or simply making an everyday moment feel a little more special.

Together, these new dishes from Red Lotus and Modern Shang prove that even the most familiar flavors can still surprise you. It’s tradition, but with a playful edge—where every bite feels both nostalgic and entirely new.
