Dumpling Kitchen

Delicious Dandan noodle!

Really enjoyed this today! Got delivery and tasted great!

So they use to be Sui Mai Factory, then they were Pan Kee foods, and now Dumpling Kitchen!... For now anyways hahaha

Anywho, I don't know if it was a name change or a change in ownership but they're the sister restaurant to the Dumpling Kitchen in the city in the Sunset. The one frequented by Ali Wong.

I don't care about that. The only thing that mattered to me is that they didn't get rid of their frozen custard baos. And they didn't!

Looks like they still have all the frozen foods from their Pan Kee - Sui Mai days, now with hot foods ready for takeout or delivery through Grubhub.

We got the sui mais and their custard baos as usual. They have a large assortment of dumplings but I've found the skin is too thick for my preference. And while they have more meat, they lack flavor compared to my normal dumpling joint. The custard baos and sui mais are better buys imo.

Moving on. For hot foods, we got D5: Taiwan braised beef over rice. I thought it lacked beef as it's heavy on rice, pickled veggies and steamed broccoli, but it all has good flavor.

They also recommended A24: Xi'an pork belly rougamo. Basically fried pork belly sando. It comes with two so we got one spicy and one not spicy... But there was zero heat to the spicy one so if you like it hot, ask for extra spicy?

Overall, I'm excited to try more of their hot food options. And they offer 10% off to your first online order. You know I like a deal.
