Dumpling House
Techniques refined over dynasties, flavors that transcend time
The Democratic Table — accessible to all
The soup dumplings are the reason to come. Watch them make them through the kitchen window. Thin wrappers, hot broth inside - be careful, they will burn you. The scallion pancakes are also excellent. No frills, just great dumplings.
