Soup-filled steamed buns filled with mutton are rare in the country, which makes Jia San's soup-filled steamed bun shop gain a scarcity comparable to the top few on the list.

Originated in 1903, Jia San's soup steamed bun shop was recognized by the Ministry of Commerce as the first batch of "Chinese time-honored brands" in 2006, which made many people think that soup dumplings have been in Xi'an for a long time, but this is not the case. Nowadays, Jia San's soup dumplings are not only famous in Xi'an, but also become the representative of Xi'an snacks, and the writer Jia Pingwa is quite appreciative of Jia San's soup dumplings.

This snack comes from Kaifeng, Henan, in Kaifeng, the soup is generally filled with water, that is, the water is beaten into the meat filling until the water and meat are mixed and the meat filling is thin. The filling is mainly pork hind leg, supplemented by various seasonings. Jia San's soup dumpling shop is very different from the former, it learns the production process of southern xiaolongbao, wraps the meat jelly into the filling, and during the steaming process, the meat jelly turns into soup, and the pork filling is also replaced with mutton filling. The skin of the soup dumplings is thin, and you can see the soup bubbling through it. Its way of eating is not as particular as that of southern xiaolongbao, which is "open the window and drink soup". The most authentic way to eat is to eat the whole thing in your mouth, and the juice overflows your mouth. The mutton soup is full of umami, the mutton is tender and springy, and the skin is tough and chewy.

Jia Sanchuan soup steamed buns can no longer be regarded as a "small shop", the main store located in the north courtyard gate is very magnificent, the door is black on a gold background, the carved beams and paintings under the eaves, the store is spacious and translucent, and the tables, chairs and benches are very clean. The waiter's attitude is acceptable, although he can't be full of enthusiasm, but he is responsive.
