5 dumpling destinations that are all that and dim sum.
Cozy season is upon us—and what better way to get in your ~fillings~ than Raleigh’s ream of uberdelish dim sum outposts worth getting lost in the sauce for. Basically, getting *dump’d* never tasted so good!
Beansprout
Let’s get stuffed! A humble Hillsborough Street mainstay, this unassuming eatery’s wallet-friendly steamed or fried dumplings are simply to die for. beansproutraleigh.com
David’s Dumpling & Noodle Bar
Churning out swoonworthy dumps since 1976, David’s small savory lunch and dinnertime delights are a staple. Our rec: The OG half-fried dumplings filled to the brim with pork, napa cabbage and green
onions. @davidsdumplingandnoodlebar
Brewery Bhavana
The spot for dim sum, this Moore Square outpost (with a second slated to open in Fenton this spring) is known—and loved—for its handmade shareable plates. You can’t go wrong with house fave char sui bao, aka handmade buns stuffed with Cantonese ’cue pork that’ll send you… back for more, especially of the pan-fried Jiaozi chicken dumpling—paired with a house brew, natch. @brewerybhavana
Five Star
Five stars for a 10/10 dumpling game in the hip Smoky Hollow area touting pork and soup pockets of perfection to whet your appetite—or as the star of your meal. Trust us, the extra prep time for the soup dumplings is well worth the wait. @fivestarraleigh
MOFU Shoppe
“Your dumpling destination,” the City Market hot spot beckons you to take down as many dumps as you can stomach. Jive with the pork and chive shumai; nosh on the Asian sensation pan-fried beef bulgogi (aka Korean BBQ); or herbivores can chive on with the Impossible & Chive. @mofushoppe
