"The chance to pick from multiple fillings (ground pork, chicken, beef, or shrimp) already makes Sijie among the most accommodating spots for soup dumplings in Austin. The broth is a little sweeter than other options in town, but the texture of the meat and skins is some of the best we’ve come across. If you really want to double down on brothy dumplings, add an order of soup pan-fried buns—somewhere between a soup dumpling and a fried bao—to make things even more exciting. " - nicolai mccrary
