JIAO by Qing Xiang Yuan Dumplings

Dumpling restaurant · Loop

"Regarded as one of Chicago’s top dumpling makers, Qing Xiang Yuan Dumplings expanded a few years back with the opening of a fast-casual spinoff in the Loop. The steamed and pan-fried dumplings are based on a secret family recipe and include eight varieties such as lamb and coriander, truffle and beef, and pork and cabbage. Folks can save valuable time by ordering ahead through the restaurant’s app." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff
