"As their name suggests, this casual Taiwanese counter-service spot does, in fact, make yummy dumplings. But you should actually come here for the fried chicken. It’s incredibly moist on the inside, but so crispy-crunchy on the outside that the sound of every bite reverberates inside your skull. Yumpling’s juicy popcorn chicken, scattered with fried basil leaves, should probably be categorized as a controlled substance, but their fried chicken sandwich (with basil aioli and a generous helping of chopped scallions) is our favorite thing on the menu. Get it with a side of fried lotus chips." - neha talreja, bryan kim, hannah albertine, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick
