Juicy Dumpling, located across from The Wine Vault, is now open in University City.
Why it matters: The Chinese restaurant joins a growing list of new businesses we've reported on this year, adding another dining option to the Boardwalk at University Place.
Dig in: The menu features handmade soup dumplings, pan-fried dumplings and steamed dumplings, which you can watch the team prepare from the open kitchen at the front of the restaurant.
- You'll also find noodle dishes ranging from Sichuan dan dan noodles to braised beef noodles, plus wontons, fried rice and chow mein.
What we ordered: The spicy brisket beef noodles ($16.99), chicken xiao long bao ($12.99), rainbow pan-fried dumplings ($14.99), plus the beef and onion dumpling.
My thought bubble: The prices make it easy to order a few different dishes for the table and sample your way through the menu — which is exactly what we did. The dumplings come in enough fillings and styles that I'd recommend ordering a few varieties to share.
Stop by: Find Juicy Dumpling at 8933 J M Keynes Dr., Suite 1, at The Boardwalk at University Place. It's open 11am-9pm Sunday-Thursday and 11am-11pm Friday-Saturday.
