At New Dumpling, choose your dumpling filling from an assortment of 10.  All dumplings are boiled, and they come a generous 14 to an order.  One order of the green chive-with-shrimp-and-pork dumplings, plus an order of crispy green-onion pancakes--which are fried and can be oily, and come 2 to an order--satisfies most adults.  Everything is made fresh.  Among the limited sides are a few salads, including a spicy cucumber with wood-ear mushroom.

2021 pandemic update: 
Items are picked up at a table outside the closed restaurant door.  In non-COVID times, a cook makes dumplings where everyone has a view into the open kitchen.
