Dough Zone specializes in juicy Chinese dumplings like xiao long bao (tender little meatballs and a puddle of broth encased in a delicate wrapper), q-bao (fat, fluffy-crisp pork buns seared in a pan), and lacy pot stickers. Sides like the tangy fermented green beans and snacky green-onion pancakes complement them nicely. There's often a wait, but you can always bring your out-of-town guests to wander around the Asian grocery explosion that is Uwajimaya next door to the ID location while you wait for a text alert that your table is ready.
