The Best Chinese Restaurants in the East Bay | Eater SF

"The East Bay has needed a high-quality jiaozi, or boiled dumpling, spot, so it’s no surprise this El Cerrito restaurant has been a hit since day one. Cold appetizers like sliced pig ears are great, and scallion pancakes are crisp and wonderfully oily. But the only move here is to order as many of the restaurant’s compact, two-bite dumplings as you might reasonably expect to eat. Fillings include delightful combinations you’d be hard-pressed to find elsewhere — zucchini, egg, and shrimp, for example. Most of the dumplings are also available frozen to bring home." - Dianne de Guzman
