SUMMER DUMPLING / SUMMER NOODLES

Summer Dumpling/Summer Noodles is a cozy little spot that’s got a good mix of tasty and trendy. Edoardo and Xu are vibing hard with their dumplings and noodles, calling them 'incredible' and 'hands down the best.' The place isn’t the biggest, but that just adds to its charm—unless you’re claustrophobic.

The team seems to be nailing the service, too, and you can’t argue with the generous portions at reasonable prices. Just be wary that not everyone is on the same page when it comes to authenticity; Gordon's critique on the Sichuanese roots might make you roll your eyes. Overall, it's a safe bet if you're down for a casual meal with comforting flavors.
