πΊπΈ Dumpling World is Now Open in Austin! π₯
The beloved Houston-based Dumpling World has finally started its soft opening in Austin! π Located in the Triangle neighborhood (perfect for a stroll and gelato π¦), itβs close to UT and 99 Ranch Market. π Address: 4616 Triangle Ave, Suite 203, Austin, TX Though from Houston, the prices arenβt exactly "Houston-friendly" β steamed pork soup dumplings are $13, and crab roe soup dumplings are $20. With tip, expect to spend around $40 per person. πΈ But the quality remains top-tier! Hereβs the breakdown: π¦ Crab Roe Soup Dumplings: πππππ Highly recommend! Thin skin, bursting with broth, and visible crab roe. Absolutely worth the splurge. π₯ Three Delicacies Thumb Pan-Fried Buns: πππππ Handmade perfection! Each bun is bite-sized with a crispy bottom and filled with chunky pork, shrimp, and chives. So satisfying! π Sichuan Dan Dan Noodles: ππππβ¨ Not traditional (more like Wuhan hot dry noodles?), but delicious! Chewy noodles with sesame sauce, pickled veggies, minced pork, and peanuts. π π₯’ Sour Soup Three Delicacies Dumplings: Same filling as the thumb buns, but the wrappers were broken π’β¦ and the broth tasted just like the table vinegar + chili oil mix. Skip this one. π₯ Wood Ear Mushroom Salad: The mushrooms were unusually thick (not in a good way), dressed in vinegar and sesame oil. Didnβt cut through the richness as expected. Still, a solid spot for dumpling lovers! After your meal, grab gelato next door π¨ and explore the area β perfect vibe! π #Austin #AustinFood #Dumplings #Xiaolongbao #Shengjian #FoodReview π₯’π₯
