Cincinnati is no stranger to dumplings. From potstickers to pierogis, we’ve got them all, so choose your dumpling destination and celebrate the official holiday on September 26.
Grand Oriental serves a variety of classic Chinese dishes, but it’s widely known for the fantastic dim sum menu. Served daily from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., you could find yourself pleasantly overwhelmed with the amount of options on the menu, but if you get overwhelmed by choice, the shrimp dumplings and potstickers are safe bets. 4800 Fields Ertel Rd., Sharonville, (513) 677-3388
If sweeter food more your speed, Auntie Apple’s is the spot for you. Its food is Cantonese style, which emphasizes sugary flavors over salt. One of the featured dishes here is the shumai, which is a ground pork-based dumpling served as a dim sum snack. 321 Ludlow Ave., Clifton, (513) 221-2181
Kiki, the beloved College Hill izakaya, specializes in Japanese fare. The pork gyoza, dumplings that are pan-seared and steamed, are filled with a meat and vegetable mixture and served with a citrus ponzu dipping sauce. 5932 Hamilton Ave., College Hill, (513) 541-0381
Pierogis are dumplings, too! Located in the iconic Findlay Market, Babushka offers savory, doughy, and overall delicious pierogis stuffed with potatoes, bacon, onions, or all the above! In addition, the Ukrainian-style business offers frozen food to take home or have delivered. 1801 Race St., Over-the-Rhine, (513) 417-8485
For many, Bridges is a staple of Asian food in Cincinnati. The signature dish here is the momo, a bite-sized Nepalese dumpling. Bridges will load you up with a plate full of momos stuffed with chicken, pork, or veggies. You can even choose your own spice level. 4165 Hamilton Ave., Northside, (513) 374-9354; 6304 Vine St., Elmwood, (513) 417-7704; 11 W. Seventh St., Covington, (513) 417-7704
