There are boiled, fried, eaten in soup or filled with soup 😋 They can be filled with shrimp or pork or just veggies. We had a lot of fun trying all the different fillings of dumplings at the Dumpling Bowl. The server was also kind enough to let us try all four flavours of dipping sauce to accompany the dumplings (the peanut sauce was our favourite!) With a group of friends, or by yourself (depending on how hungry you are), you should try a nice big plate of dumplings and let us know which ones are your favourite!
