"Gourmet Dumpling House, a well-known restaurant in Chinatown, Boston, famous for its dumplings, will close after 15 years on June 30, 2022. Known for its 'mini juicy dumplings' and Sandong-style pan-fried dumplings, the restaurant has been a staple for both locals and visitors. Opened by Ed Chen in 2007, it has received praise from local chefs and hosted many celebrities. Despite its closure, its sibling restaurant Dumpling House in Cambridge will remain open." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
