Dumpling Bites

Dumpling Bites in the Sunset wins the Soupiest Soup Dumplings award by a landslide. Their massive xiao long bao burst in your mouth like a pork-y water balloon, and are reason enough to get here. Another: boiled pork dumplings, which are heavy on the chives and ultra-tender. And the pan-fried Shanghai-style buns have bottoms so crispy you’ll hear the crunch of you and your neighbors biting into them reverberating throughout the entire two-story space. The dining room is big enough to fit a dance floor in the middle, so it’s easy to walk in—get here for last-minute family dinners or low-effort weekend lunches.
