Dumplin' is becoming one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood. Their patio is a nice place to hang out while trying some of their cocktails, which are fun and tasty. The menu is conducive to trying a mix of dishes, so it's a good place to go with a group. Some of my favorites are the whipped tofu appetizer, hamachi, wagyu beef dumplings (super flavorful!), and the porchetta bao buns.
What truly sets Dumplin' apart is the staff. Everyone I've interacted with has been warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. On multiple visits, they've surprised me with complimentary dessert, which is a really thoughtful gesture. I really appreciate how the staff will walk you through the menu and offer actual recommendations. They're never vague or hesitant; they tell you what they love. They are excited about the menu, and it shows!
Shoutout to Jordan, the general manager. He's so engaging, and it seems that his philosophy toward hospitality helps set the tone for the whole place. It really feels like the staff takes pride in making sure customers feel taken care of.
