In our neverending quest to find the best cheap eats in the city, we've come across a lot of dumplings. Some have tasted like little more than pork-soaked cardboard shavings, but some have been great. Still, it's important to remember that a dumpling takes many forms: from Japanese shumai to Polish peirogi to Italian ravioli, the concept of meat wrapped in dough transcends boundaries, and we can't cover them all in one swoop. So today, as a companion to our Best Chinese Noodle Soups rundown, we're name-checking five of the best Chinese dumplings in the city. Enjoy. — Photo via Flickr user fuzzirella
