XO Kitchen (Hester) recommendations?

While I think their Japanese pan fried dumplings are excellent, I've been mostly unsuccesful with other dishes so I end up ordering just the dumplings and bringing it to other restaurants in the same area, e.g. Cong Ly or even HongKong Station.

Any recommendations?

    I like the fish ball noodle soup. The fish balls are home made and are very good.

      Just came back from lunch at XO. I had the pan fried dumplings and freshwater eel w/ teriyaki sauce over rice, which wasn't bad... but I'm looking for a dish that won't make the meal a letdown after that dumpling appetizer.

      Anyway, thanks for the tip, I'll check it out.
