2013 Best Dumplings

Dumpling Cafe

You won’t find xiao long bao (here, known as “mini juicy buns”) with a better proportion of molten broth, ground pork filling, and thin dough wrapper anywhere else in town. Also not to be missed are the pan-fried “Taiwan-style” dumplings, shaped like petite cigars.
