Just ate at a DTF in Shanghai yesterday (Pudong - Super Brand Mall location). All their Xiao Long Baos had a 5pc or a 10pc option - the silly thing was the 10pc was exactly 2x the price of the 5pc - essentially no different than ordering 2 portions of a 5pc set.
What I liked about having a smaller 5pc option was that you can order more varieties instead of having only a larger 10 pc option. To be fair, 6 piece XLB is a much more common variant in most restaurants.
