Dumpling King is a cozy North Miami joint where you can dive into hearty dumplings, including large, steaming soup dumplings and crispy pan-fried ones, all without breaking the bank.
"Dumpling King is one of those places that’s exactly what it sounds like. If you want to have a meal that pretty much only consists of dumplings, come here (and come hungry). The small spot does have other dishes—fried rice, mapo tofu, and noodle dishes—but dumplings are the reason to come. The pan-fried dumplings are huge and stuffed generously with chicken, pork, beef, or vegetables. But you’ve got to get the soup dumplings, which are big, plump, and so good we just can’t get mad at them when they burn the hell out of our mouths." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
"The Meal: Shanghai Style Soup Dumplings, $12 You can get a whole bunch of very solid dumplings for about $12 here. You won’t have to worry about still being hungry afterward—the pan fried dumplings are huge, and stuffed with chicken, pork, beef, or vegetables. But we like the soup dumplings best, which are plump and filled with lava-hot deliciousness. Dumpling King works for easy weeknight takeout, or a casual dine-in dumpling feast." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino

"Dumpling King in North Miami is one of the best spots for Chinese dumplings in town. The main attraction is the xiao long bao, steamed soup dumplings that burst in your mouth like mini water balloons filled with lava-hot deliciousness. Besides xiao long bao, Dumpling King also makes great pan-fried dumplings with a crisp layer of lacey crust. You won’t have to worry about still being hungry afterward—the pan-fried dumplings are huge and stuffed generously with chicken, pork, beef, or vegetables, and the soup dumplings are just as filling. There are other things on the menu, but you're coming here for a dumpling feast." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, carlos c olaechea
