"Dumplins is a dumpling pop-up founded by Jodi Lin, a Los Angeles County public defender. The menu is inspired by Lin’s diverse experiences and her Taiwanese American heritage. The venue offers unique dumplings with various fillings such as Taiwanese beef noodle soup, Midnight in Paris, Chef Curry, Miso Corny, and Kalbi Dumplin. Each dumpling is designed to be a complete package with sauce included in the filling. Dumplins' dessert options include Red Bean Mochi and fried purple sweet potato dumplings with coconut milk custard. The pop-up often collaborates with other local vendors, like Moderno Cocina, and has popped up in locations such as Civil Coffee in Highland Park and Las Perlas in West Hollywood." - Andrew Watman
