✨ New Dumpling Omakase Dates!! Jan & Feb ✨ Opening up more Dumpling Omakase dates for late January and early February, with even more to come as we head into Lunar New Year 🧧🥟 This experience has been so fulfilling already. Seeing familiar faces return, sharing my culture through food, and telling my story one dumpling at a time. It honestly means everything to me. The menu is always evolving. Inspired by what I’m cooking, tasting, and thinking about lately. New fillings, new techniques, new stories but always rooted in intentionality & tradition. 13 courses // 10 seats per night: A dumpling tasting that explores what a dumpling can be …from Sheng Jian Bao to playful, unexpected flavors I’m so grateful for the support so far and can’t wait to welcome more new faces in the new year. 💛 🔗 Link in bio to reserve! #dumplings #omakase #soupdumplings #supperclub

Birria Sheng Jian Bao (生煎包） inspired by The Most Beautiful Dumpling Love Story ❤️ 🥟 Unfortunately I forgot her name (my fish brain memory lol) I will always remember and cherish these memories that reminds me why I love cooking and creating so much. As much as food is an art, science and needed for survival. How it captures my heart and why I love cooking, experimenting and learning is how it brings us together Even if we don’t share the same language, you can always share your food. Food is from the heart. A sharing from me to you and what better ways to share with one another than with yummy dumplings 🥹 #shengjianbao #panfriedsoupdumplings #birria #soupdumplings #potstickers #bao #dumplings #dumplinglover #dumplingmaking #chinesefood #chinesedumplings #mexicanchinese

Shanghainese Sheng Jian Bao 生煎包 (Pan-fried Soup Dumplings) my ultimate childhood snack! Have you had Sheng Jian Bao before?? If I spent years trying to perfect a recipe with the utmost amount of quality and care, you damn right I’m gatekeeping that recipe until I do something :D with it haha But until then, I hope you can live vicariously through my content and maybe stop by one my potential popups again (if I have help lol if you also a dumpling master pleater, plz hollah at me ❤️) #dumplings #shengjianbao #potstickers #soupdumplings #chinesefood #shanghainesefood

Watching this made me realize how far this little dumpling idea has come. There were so many moments I questioned myself or thought about backup plans… but somehow and most fortunately every version of Plan B still involved dumplings 🥟 Food became one of the ways I learned how to connect to my family, my culture, my childhood and eventually myself. What started as making dumplings slowly became storytelling, creativity, connection and a way to share all the things I couldn’t always put into words. Thank you KTLA @ktla5news and @ktlagingerchan5 for featuring my story for AAPI Heritage Month 💛 ! Can watch the full feature on their website! #dumplings #aapiheritagemonth #aapi

Mark your calendars for May 21 & 22! Chef Debbie Lee (@realchefdeblee ) and Chef Britney Wang (@chefbaobae ) are joining forces for two nights of Hanja, the hybrid cuisine that emerged from Chinese communities living in Korea 🇰🇷🇨🇳 Expect Korean-inspired dumplings, noodles, seafood, and more that bridge two delicious culinary traditions. Full menu dropping soon! 🥟 This isn’t a ticketed event, but reservations are encouraged. Head to the link in our bio to secure your table!

18 seats. 13 courses 🥟 so grateful to our friends @karsondining for borrowing their beautiful space to bring this unique experience to life last week! Last year, what started as an idea to share unique dumpling bites with people somehow turned into this…a room full of strangers gathering around one table, connected through food and stories. Along the way, this experience made me think deeply about what does food mean to us and even asking myself: what truly is a dumpling? To me, it’s more than tradition. It’s memory, culture, creativity, comfort, curiosity, connection and all the above…wrapped into one intentional perfect bite. Each course in this omakase is my way of telling a story of past and present through technique and flavor. It’s so crazy to think how much this little idea has grown and the team we’ve built! Can’t wait to see what’s next as we search for a temporary new home for future @thedumplingomakase dinners :) The most awesomest pics 📸 @philosophyofeverything #dumplings
