Somehow it seemed fitting that it was snowing during our visit to “Dump City Dumplings.” While it may not have been snowing enough to say that it was “dumping” outside, it sure did add to the ambience of our meal.
In my estimation, there are likely two schools of thought when it comes to dumplings. I think you’ve got the “I’m all about the dumplings!” person and the “Ok, I’ll try dumplings once” person.
If you are of the latter ilk and are still riding the fence on this one, please know that while dumplings are featured here, there are other options available (including Vegan choices). For example, I sampled the Roujiamo Pork Bowl and Cucumber Salad and they were both outstanding. Also know that introducing your little ones to the dumpling experience is easier than you think given the selections featured on their kid’s menu.
If you do choose to sample their dumplings (and you should!) you have to consider their dessert dumpling (filled with strawberry jam that you then dip in a lovely coconut sauce). While perhaps not for everyone (and I admit to being hesitant at first), it was by far my favorite of the dumplings that I sampled.
By the power vested in me, I hereby proclaim 2023 “The Year of the Dumpling!” 🥟
And that’s…Henry’s Take.
