"Malden’s District Kitchen’s special Lunar New Year menu includes braised oxtail slow-cooked in a rich, savory broth; rice cakes served with pork and vegetables in a savory soy seasoning; and a delightful stir-fried garlicky cabbage side dish." - Valerie Li Stack
"A predecessor to the xiao long bao, the lesser-known but still massively popular Yangzhou-style tang bao (literally translates to “soup dumpling”) has yet to capture the same fanfare in the U.S. But if you’re desperate to try one, head to District Kitchen in Malden, a rare local purveyor of this type of soup dumpling. The restaurant also serves a variety of other interesting (and attractive) dumplings, including cuttlefish, pork, and chive dumplings in a black cuttlefish ink wrapper and lobster, pork, and cucumber dumplings in a red wrapper." - Erika Adams
"A Malden favorite for dumplings, regularly chosen as a convenient and satisfying delivery option." - Erika Adams
"A go-to spot for diners in Malden and parts of Greater Boston, this restaurant is known for top-tier Chinese cooking with an emphasis on seafood and dumplings. It stands out in town for serving giant soup dumplings that are eaten with a straw, and its reputation for high-quality seafood dishes and handmade dumplings has made it a local favorite." - Paolo Bicchieri
"From January 30 through February 6 I found a special Lunar New Year menu at District Kitchen featuring dishes such as crispy sea bass, slow-cooked pork shoulder, assorted dumplings, twin lobsters, and braised pork meatballs, with online ordering for takeout and delivery and a reservation link on the restaurant’s website." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
