Paradise Dynasty Menu Prices 2026: XLB, La Mian & Full Menu

The signature 8-Flavour Specialty Dynasty Xiao Long Bao sampler basket is priced at S$13.80 and contains eight soup dumplings, one of each flavour: Original, Garlic, Ginseng, Cheese, Crab Roe, Szechuan, Foie Gras, and Black Truffle. Each dumpling has a differently coloured wrapper that corresponds to its filling. This is Paradise Dynasty's most-ordered and most-photographed dish. Confirm current pricing with the outlet you plan to visit, as the menu is managed per-outlet by the Paradise Group.

Paradise Dynasty's signature 8-Flavour Xiao Long Bao includes: Original (classic pork), Garlic (pork with roasted garlic), Ginseng (pork with herbal ginseng), Cheese (pork and melted cheese), Crab Roe (pork and savoury crab roe), Szechuan (spiced with numbing peppercorns), Foie Gras (pork and rich duck liver), and Black Truffle (pork and earthy truffle). Each flavour has a uniquely coloured wrapper so you know which is which at a glance.

No. Paradise Dynasty and Din Tai Fung are separate, unrelated brands. Din Tai Fung originated in Taiwan and focuses almost exclusively on soup dumplings with a minimal menu; Paradise Dynasty is a Singapore-founded chain with a broader Shanghai-inspired menu including la mian, dim sum, sharing plates and rice dishes. The two are direct competitors in the premium XLB space in Singapore and across Asia -- Paradise Dynasty's 8-Flavour sampler is its differentiating signature, while Din Tai Fung's appeal is precision-engineered original XLB. Both are typically priced in the S$$-S$$$range for a meal.

Paradise Dynasty has more than 20 outlets across Asia. In Singapore, locations include Wisma Atria (Orchard Road), VivoCity, Paya Lebar Quarter (PLQ), Suntec City, Funan Mall, and Pasir Ris Mall. International locations span China (Shanghai, Beijing), Japan (Tokyo), Indonesia (Jakarta), the Philippines (Manila), and Cambodia (Phnom Penh). Check the official website at paradisedynasty.com for current outlet status and hours -- some locations have opened and closed over the years.

For a premium sit-down Chinese meal in Singapore, Paradise Dynasty sits in the mid-range: the 8-Flavour XLB sampler at S$13.80 is competitively priced against peer specialist dumpling restaurants, and the la mian noodles starting around S$9.80 are among the more affordable dishes. Budget roughly S$30-S$50 per person for a full meal including starters, dumplings, a noodle or rice dish, and a dessert. The multi-flavour XLB experience is genuinely one-of-a-kind -- no other major chain offers eight flavoured XLB variants in a single basket.

The standard technique: place the XLB on a Chinese soup spoon, make a small bite in the wrapper to release steam, let the hot broth fill the spoon, add a thin strip of ginger (provided), dip lightly in the black vinegar dipping sauce, and eat the whole dumpling in one or two bites. For the 8-Flavour sampler, the restaurant recommends starting with the Original to set a baseline, then progressing from lighter flavours (Garlic, Ginseng) to richer ones (Cheese, Foie Gras, Black Truffle) to end with the Szechuan for a palate finish. Do not pierce the wrapper before it is on your spoon -- the soup inside is very hot and will spill.

Paradise Dynasty's menu is primarily meat-based, but several dishes can suit vegetarians: the Yam Paste XLB (S$8.80) is a sweet, meat-free soup dumpling option; the Lettuce Roll with Sesame Sauce and the Steamed Glutinous Rice in Red Date are meat-free starters; and the Chilled Snow Fungus with Peach Resin dessert is fully vegetarian. The Cheese and Ginseng XLB are often asked about -- both contain pork, so they are not vegetarian. Call ahead to confirm current vegetarian availability, as menus vary slightly by outlet.

Paradise Dynasty is a concept of the Paradise Gourmet Group Pte Ltd, a Singapore-based restaurant group founded in 2002. The group operates a portfolio of Chinese-dining brands including Taste Paradise (fine dining), Beauty in the Pot (hotpot), Canton Paradise (Cantonese), and Paradise Classic, among others. As of 2024 the group operates more than 50 restaurants across Singapore and Asia. Paradise Dynasty, launched in 2010, is its most internationally recognised concept -- driven by the 8-Flavour XLB, which was a world-first innovation in the XLB category.

Reservations are strongly recommended, particularly for weekend lunches and dinners -- Paradise Dynasty outlets in Singapore regularly have queues without a booking. Most Singapore outlets accept reservations via phone and through the Chope or Eatigo booking platforms. Walk-ins are accepted on a queue basis. Arrive early (within 10 minutes of your reservation time); the restaurants can be loud and busy during peak hours. For the Orchard Road flagship at Wisma Atria, weekend waits of 30-60 minutes for walk-ins are common.
