QXY Dumplings
QXY Dumplings stands out for flavorful soup dumplings, especially pork-cabbage, pork-shrimp-leek, and beef-onion, with a satisfying burst of broth in every bite. Regulars also rave about the grilled lamb kabobs, refreshing cucumber or wood-ear mushroom salads, and cocktails like the lychee martini, all in a welcoming, polished interior that works well for casual dates or groups; service is consistently attentive, though one review found the dumpling skins thick and meat texture disappointing.

“vinny, our waiter, was very fast and nice. as was the host - i was touched by the attention to service. really pleasant, welcoming, and delicious experience and efficient. we had the pork and cabbage soup dumplings, summer shandy, and the lychee martini!”
“Simple and beautiful restaurant with a peaceful, elegant environment. Service was excellent. Attentive and welcoming. We had the cucumber appetizer and the lamb coriander dumplings, steamed. I'd recommend both. My only complaint was that the dumpling dough was a little chewy and not as delicate as other dumpling houses I've enjoyed.”
“Despite being busy, the staff got us seats very quickly with minimum time wait. The service was remarkable! Belen was very kind and supportive. She was quick to ensure if everything was going well and if there were any problems occurring. First time coming, and will stop by again! Food was great and came hot/quick.”
“Love the Chinatown location food here is just as delicious and they have cocktails! It was pretty empty when I went I hope that they’re staying busy!”
“Vinny was fantastic helpful and kind. Dumplings were some of the best I’ve ever had, and the cucumber salad was refreshing and delicious. So glad I got to come while I was in town!”
“Thrilled to have a location further north! Never disappoints, especially on a cold day. Highly recommend the beef and onion and pork and leek dumpling.”
“My experience was amazing!!!! The food was so incredible, I could've kept on eating forever. I needed to stop myself! The grilled lamb kabobs are INSANE. The dumplings are so good and very flavorful! They have a small amount of soup in them, so you get a burst of flavor when you bite down! 10/10 would recommend!”
