Affordable dumpling place (10 for $10) which is very veggie friendly. There was a line out the door when I arrived today, which was easy to understand after sampling the fare. Of the eleven dumpling options offered there were four vegetarian selections. Additionally, the menu includes a vegetarian noodle salad and shumai, a kind of "open" dumpling. Again, one of the shumai options was vegetarian. First and foremost, call ahead or be prepared to wait. You can get the dumplings pan-fried or steamed. If you ask for steamed they say it is a 15-20 minute wait. On this visit the dumplings were a solid 20+ minutes given the large number of orders being handled by the kitchen. The wait is worth it. The little dumplings are exquisite. I mixed it up and got the Kale, Edamame/Taro and the Squash with Cheese. I even forgave them the lack of dipping sauce (two packets of soy sauce don't cut it) as the seasonings were delicate and yet perfectly balanced.
Bottom line: The menu was on a chalkboard which tells me there are seasonal changes. I WILL be back.
