Above the Saturday Market on SW 2nd and Burnside is Mandarin House. The chef trained in Sichuan cuisine and the restaurant labels itself as such, but the chef comes from Northern China, which means that there's plenty of Shandong cuisine on the menu also, including xiao long bao.
Granted, it's still not as good as Asian Station, but there's lots of dumplings there as well as hand-pulled noodles. I just had a bowl of the da lu mian... pure goodness.

Just to bump this...I stopped by a food cart called Asian Station Cafe recently on SW 10th and Alder and did in fact get an order of XLBs. The owner was a very friendly man and actually gave me some free jasmine rice on the side because he felt the XLBs looked lonely in the box! I also got a sample of their curry -- good stuff.
The XLBs were delicious. They had gotten a bit cold because I phoned in ahead (it takes about 15 minutes to steam), but the skin had good consistency. Unfortunately, they were out of the roti, so I'll be back for more.

The thread on portlandfood was bumped also, then split.

They had a special offering this past weekend where they were open on Saturday to help meet the demand for XLB.

It sounds like Asian Station will be open every Saturday but with a limited menu. Fortunately, that menu will include xiao long bao as well as their roti, which I still haven't tried.

Awesome. I'll have to go there one of these Saturdays, I haven't had the chance to try out the roti yet.

We've talked about this on Portland Food and the consensus is, sadly enough, no you can't. :o(
