"While Dough Zone isn’t the cheapest place in the city for dim sum, the dumplings here are inexpensive enough (ranging from $4.75 to $12.75) with an atmosphere way more fun than your friend’s apartment loaded with dinged-up Ikea furniture. Share rounds of xiao long bao, potstickers, wontons, and dan dan noodles. You’ll leave with enough cash to reluctantly go up to the top of the Space Needle the next time you get a visitor. (Let them see for themselves that the view is a little anticlimactic.)" - aimee rizzo
