The 17 Best Dumplings In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Chengdu Impressions are sprinkled throughout Chicago, with dishes that are loaded with sichuan peppercorns, like spicy beef noodle soup or dry chili chicken. But when it comes to dumplings, the restaurant family’s best can be found at their newest sibling: Chengdu Bistro in Wicker Park. For those seeking a capsaicin-fueled rush, the excellent sichuan wontons have a delicate wrapper and a moist pork filling. If you’re trying to avoid breaking a sweat, their many boiled, steamed, or fried jiaozi are equally delicious—but our favorite is the lamb and dill." - john ringor
