"QXY is offering delivery and takeout. And if you would rather cook their dumplings yourself, they’re also available pre-made and uncooked." - adrian kane
"QXY specializes in handmade broth-filled dumplings (different from xiao long bao), which are available steamed, boiled, or fried. You can choose fillings like pork and pickled cabbage, shrimp and leek, or egg and pepper. The interior of the restaurant looks a little like a fancy wooden shoebox out of a design magazine, and you can see the kitchen making everything to order. Bring a group of friends and order as many combinations as possible." - adrian kane, john ringor

"What started out as a Chinatown food court stall has blossomed into one of Chicago’s best dumpling spots. The specialty here is made-to-order soup dumplings filled with lamb, pork, beef, chicken, seafood, and more. They’re served without broth but each one holds a burst of soup-y goodness inside. Don’t forget to add a few of the well-seasoned barbecue skewers, either. For carryout orders, the restaurant puts the dumplings in special containers that keep them fresh. QXY also sells frozen dumplings to make at home. Another location is opening soon in Wicker Park." - Jeffy Mai
"This Chinatown spot has a whopping 120 dumpling options (if you want to check our math, that’s 40 different types that can either be fried, boiled, or steamed). Even more impressive is how each handmade dumpling has a satisfying juiciness. And everyone seems to agree—the bright wooden dining room is constantly busy, often leading to long wait times on the weekends. But an hour is a small price for perfectly seasoned beef and onion, lamb and coriander, or tomato and egg dumplings." - john ringor, adrian kane

"This Chinatown staple is known for its dumplings which come in many varieties. The one confirmed halal item is the lamb and coriander dumpling." - Nylah Iqbal Muhammad
