Brooklyn Dumpling Shop
Describing itself as an “innovative dumpling” shop, Brooklyn Dumplings is a new-age fusion automat/restaurant at the bottom of a shiny East Austin office complex, where you place orders on an electronic kiosk and your food arrives in a locker. If you’re a fan of more classic dumplings, stay far away (though they do have a small menu of “traditional dumplings”). But if you’re okay with cheeseburgers, reubens, and chicken parmesan hiding inside a ball of fried dumpling skin, this is a pretty fun and unique spot to grab a late-night bite.
