Dumpling House
With a diverse menu you can check out both the dumplings and the variations, such as rich dumpling soup. Buy them by the dozen and you can walk around the rest of Chinatown while eating one of the best treats in the area. It may sound strange, but Dumpling House also offers soybean milk to wash it down with.

Prosperity Dumpling
Down the street from Dumpling House is this attractive alternative. Dumpling House is popular and often packed, but this relatively new establishment (as of 2009) has only a fraction of the crowds. For something a little different, check out the stuffed sesame pancake. Like a dumpling squished flat, the stuffed pancake is an interesting blend of sesame bread and dumpling.
