A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

Dumpling Daughter opened in November to rave reviews by the Globe. The restaurant is the brain child of Nadia Liu Spellman, Weston native and Babson College graduate.

The restaurant is small, it only has about 30 seats – but they also do takeout! Bonus is that you can BYOB and they don’t charge you a corking fee. Order at the counter from the menu on the wall and grab a seat – a food runner will bring your dishes out when they are ready. The service was quick and the staff at the counter were quite friendly

We started with the wonton soup ($5) lean pork wontons with scallions in chicken broth. Delicious.

Coco’s rollup ($8) was a big hit at our table, a crispy scallion pancake, rolled around beef shank and hoisin sauce. The scallion pancake was light – crispy on the outside but soft on the inside.

You can order 6 dumpings for $6, such a great deal. We ordered the pork and chive dumplings, pan fried. Other flavors include chicken with napa cabbage and mixed vegetable.

The scallion lo-mein ($9) was another hit at the table, the noodles were delicious and they weren’t too heavy or starchy.

Dumpling Daughter is open daily from 11:30-8pm. Stop in this Friday (3/13) for custom french pastries from Cafe Madeleine in the South End.
