"If Dumpling Home is the trusty old Toyota Corolla of the dumpling world, then Dumpling Union is the showy Porsche. They’ve got gaudy gold chairs, faux marble tables, and a seemingly random set of neon blue angel wings on the wall that make this place feel like a club-turned-restaurant. And the dumplings go along a similar route: there’s multicolored xiao long bao and spicy siu mai that’s extra red. But despite all the theatrics, each of these dumplings actually deliver on both flavor and quality. " - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
