Sanmiwago

Sanmiwago is a Taiwanese dumpling spot that graduated from the Mott Street Eatery food court into its own brick-and-mortar location nearby. Inside, everything is shiny, white, and feels oddly high-tech. Come here for a casual lunch or pre-dinner snack when you don’t want to think too hard, because even though they make noodle soups and a few other dishes, you’re here for the dumplings. The skins are paper thin, and the fillings are simple but delicious. Steamed or pan-fried, there’s no wrong answer here, but start with the signature pork and chive. Everything comes topped with chili crisp and a pile of fresh herbs.
