"Dumpling Specialist is Parkside’s hottest dumpling destination, as evidenced by the perpetual wait on weekends and most nights. That’s because they’re leading a masterclass in tiny xiao long bao. They have the most delicate wrappers out of any spot on this guide—the skins get all wrinkly around the pork filling and practically dissolve when they hit your tongue. It’s only five to an order, so do the necessary math to make sure everyone in your group gets their fair share, or prepare to end a friendship over the last one." - julia chen 1
