Handmade dumplings, noodle soups, and green onion pancakes


























"The brightly lit Szechuan Noodle Bowl might be best known for its big bowls of soup, but there’s also a solid selection of dumplings on hand. The top pick? Pot stickers. They’ve got the basic filling of ground pork, napa cabbage, ginger, and garlic, but they’re unusually long (three-biters) and perfectly pan-fried." - Jay Friedman

"The long and crunchy potstickers from Szechuan Noodle Bowl are great, especially because this ID spot cuts holes through their takeout containers to let the steam out. But if you’re in the mood for a softer dumpling, consider their pork and chive option. They’re wonderfully flavorful, juicy, and packed with an ideal amount of spring onion." - Aimee Rizzo

"Though this International District spot might be best known for its big bowls of soup, there’s also a solid selection of steamed dumplings on hand (including frozen versions), plus some excellent pot-stickers, which are unusually long and perfectly pan-fried. Some are now available for takeout, and delivery via Uber Eats and DoorDash." - Eater Staff

"I'm relieved construction and permits are finally done for the wildly popular Sichuan chain from the Los Angeles area, which is aiming for a late-September debut in the historic Publix building; the menu will include items such as mung bean jelly noodles and cold spring onion chicken in pepper sauce with a serious kick." - Gabe Guarente

"There are plenty of noodle soups to choose from in this no-fuss joint tucked away in an unassuming storefront in the ID. The good news is, no matter what your order — whether it's the Szechuan beef tendon or the pickled vegetables and pork — you’ll amble away happier than when you arrived." - Jenise Silva
