Gourmet Dumpling House

A favorite among numerous local chefs, this tiny bare-bones Chinatown eatery earns raves for its house-made dumplings. Steamed or pan-fried, the doughy purses are filled with chicken and cabbage, pork and cabbage, and fish and shrimp, to name a few of the numerous options. The Szechuan-leaning menu also tantalizes with dishes such as chilled spicy pork ears and spicy salt and pepper shrimp.
