Bryan's Dumpling House

This Tech Center spot prides itself on its handmade dumplings, which is why there's a window toward the back of the restaurant where customers can see dumplings being tidily pleated by hand. Not surprisingly, one of its most popular dishes seems crafted with social media in mind: The multicolored Bryan's Xiao Long Bao includes a rainbow of soup dumplings in eight different hues and regional flavors from across China. And although the restaurant has "dumpling" in its name, its wok dishes are nothing to scoff at, with excellent mapo tofu and jing jiang rou si (shredded pork loin with black bean sauce) that is quickly becoming a customer favorite.
