The Queen and I were recently struck by a powerful, dough-wrapped craving. The royal scrolls of Instagram alerted us to a promising fiefdom in East Cambridge: Dumpling Xuan. With stellar reviews as our guide and a 15-minute chariot ride, we embarked on a quest for the perfect parcel.
Dumpling Xuan is nestled in a neighborhood, a cozy spot where the parking is of the street variety (a classic Cambridge jousting tournament). Do they take reservations? Our intelligence suggests not. We bravely walked in, were promptly greeted by a most friendly subject, and were shown to a perfectly sized table for two. The realm is intimate, buzzing with the happy chatter of commoners and nobles alike, all united by the glorious scent of steaming and frying dough. The air itself was delicious.
Behold, the menu! A vast and glorious tapestry of options that could intimidate a lesser appetite. But our mission was clear: Dumplings. Steamed. Fried. We wanted them all. Service was swift and friendly, even as a steady stream of loyal takeout patrons created a revolving door of deliciousness—always a stellar sign.
The feast began to arrive. First, the Scallion Pancakes: flaky, savory, and the ideal scepter to wield while waiting. Then, the main event: the Fried Pork and Cabbage Dumplings. Let it be known far and wide: these dumplings are no mere snack. They are substantial, generously filled, and packed with flavor. This is meat justice, served in a perfectly golden-brown vessel.
Not to be outdone, The Queen’s order of Shanghai Style Soup Dumplings (Xiao Long Bao) arrived. They were even grander, delicate pouches holding a thrilling, hot, and savory broth within. A word of caution to the court: do not burst these precious jewels prematurely! The technique is part of the fun.
The final verdict from the throne? Dumpling Xuan absolutely lives up to the hype. The portions are generous, the quality is top-tier, and the vibe is authentically fantastic. Whether you dine in to soak up the atmosphere or summon their delights to your own castle via delivery, Dumpling Xuan is a dumpling destination worthy of your patronage.
Our royal seal of approval is officially granted. Long live the dumpling
Xiao long baos (pork soup dumplings) – The skin was thicker than usual (which I liked) and the filling was filled w soup and pork meat. It was so juicy and flavorful and I would definitely recommend this one . 10/10.
Steamed veggie dumplings – This was a comfort meal tbh and it tasted great with the vinegar/soy sauce(?). The filling was filled w veggies and glass noodles. 8/10.
Tofu skin w edamame – Omg literally my favorite dish from this place. It was a surprise because it was sooo flavorful and the texture was soft and chewy. The tofu skin paired so well with the edamame. 10/10.
Scallion pancakes – The usualy chinese takeout scallion pancakes. It was perfectly crispy and paired well w the soy sauce, although nothing special. 7/10.
