Dough Zone Dumpling House
Founded in Bellevue in 2014, Dough Zone has grown into the Pacific Northwest's dominant dumpling house and sparked a long-running debate with Din Tai Fung loyalists about who makes the superior xiao long bao, with The Infatuation firmly in Dough Zone's corner. The 50-plus item menu spans Berkshire-Duroc pork soup dumplings, crab-and-pork XLB, crispy pan-fried pot stickers, and chicken wontons in hot-and-sour sauce. Skilled dumpling folders are visible through a window from the dining room.
