Notable Picks
#1
Yumpling
8.4
A Taiwanese comfort-food counter that wins on repeatability: fast service, clean flavors, and a menu built around dumplings, noodles, and craveable fried chicken. It’s best as a quick, high-confidence stop—order one signature bite, one dumpling/noodle anchor, and keep the meal tight so everything lands hot and crisp.
Must-Try Dishes:
Fried chicken sandwich, Zha Jiang noodles, Bubble tea
What makes it special: Taiwanese comfort hits with unusually strong consistency at volume.
#2
Chairman Sun
8.1
A Sichuan-forward dining room where dim-sum-style staples (especially soup dumplings and wontons) play well as the opening act before bigger, bolder mains. The move is to treat it like a paced meal—start with two small plates, then commit to one signature stir-fry so the table doesn’t sprawl into heat-and-oil overload.
Must-Try Dishes:
Soup dumplings, Chili oil wontons, Twice-cooked pork
What makes it special: Sichuan mains backed by a legit dim-sum starter lane.
Worthy Picks
7.8
A late-night-friendly Cantonese dim sum room that’s built for variety and long menus rather than a single obsession—ideal when you want a broad spread and a lively dining rhythm. It’s strongest when you order classic staples and keep the mix focused so timing stays crisp across steamed and baked items.
Must-Try Dishes:
Har gow (shrimp dumplings), Siu mai, BBQ pork bun
What makes it special: Late-night dim sum in a full-service Cantonese format.

Hidden Gems Heaven
Solo Dining Sanctuaries
A tucked-away neighborhood counter for dumplings and quick Asian comfort that works best as a targeted takeout win rather than a long sit-down. Keep the order simple—one dumpling set plus one light side—so you get the hot-and-fresh payoff without diluting the meal across too many items.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pork dumplings, Shrimp dumplings, Bao bun
What makes it special: Low-key dumpling stop built for quick, no-drama meals.
