"When you want top-tier dumpling quality without having to spend an hour waiting for a table, Dumpling Zone is your sneaky sleeper hit. The relaxed Forest Hill spot would be easy to pass by, but you shouldn’t—fantastic pork and crab xiao long bao await. The standout is the shengjianbao that look like puffy balloons of tender pork filling and soup, but you can’t go wrong with any of the dumpling types on the menu. " - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
