A dumpling shop from China's northeast, as the name says. Staff fold dumplings non-stop near the door, so passers-by end up watching. The pork-and-chive (kuchay) boiled dumplings are the order; a 2026 Chinese New Year crawl called them juicy and handmade. There's also xiaolongbao, beef noodle soup and fried tofu. Few seats and no frills, but perfect for one plate before moving on.
