"The Loop outpost of a beloved dumpling brand known for handmade dumplings such as coriander-lamb, created to bring Chinatown favorites to downtown visitors for a quick, filling meal with hopes of broader expansion." - Lisa Shames
"Regarded as one of Chicago’s top dumpling makers, Qing Xiang Yuan Dumplings expanded a few years back with the opening of a fast-casual spinoff in the Loop. The steamed and pan-fried dumplings are based on a secret family recipe and include eight varieties such as lamb and coriander, truffle and beef, and pork and cabbage. Folks can save valuable time by ordering ahead through the restaurant’s app." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff
"Qing Xiang Yuan, shortened to QXY, is a favorite for dumplings. For many, it’s the first restaurant visitors patronized when visiting Chicago’s Chinatown. Ownership saw how customers outside of the neighborhood loved coriander-lamb dumplings and other items, so they created JIAO with hopes to open more locations across the country. Customers will find a huge selection of dumplings packaged to go with tea. This is a great spot for a quick and filling meal." - Ashok Selvam
"JIAO, the quick-service Loop outpost of Chinatown’s Qing Xiang Yuan Dumplings, makes especially good dumplings from fresh ingredients. Choose from eight different fillings prepared steamed or fried and expect them on the table within five minutes, before you dash off for the opening curtain. Tea and Chinese appetizers are also available." - Aimee Levitt
"JIAO by Qing Xiang Yuan Dumplings is the more casual spinoff of a Chicago Chinatown favorite. With a large menu of Chinese dumplings, JIAO is good for a quick and affordable bite. It’s a good alternative to fast food with enough options to make picky eaters happy." - Naomi Waxman
