Szechuan's Dumpling

Boston’s Best Dumplings | Eater Boston

"This hidden gem in Arlington is worth a trip. Don’t be misled by its name’s affiliation with Sichuan cuisine — its Chinese name is actually “Drunken Hangzhou,” a city that has a milder flavor preference than that of Sichuan. The menu features a number of homey dishes, including longjing tea shrimp, dongpo rou (red-braised pork belly), and osmanthus rice cakes favored by locals in the city of Hangzhou, where the owners are from. Be sure to go on an empty stomach because their housemade baozi, which are giant steamed buns with juicy minced pork filling, are what some regulars claim to be the best of Boston." - Erika Adams
