Best Dumplings

Here's the short version: the dumplings here are fantastic and well-worth the short venture off the beaten path. I've gone up and down the main street in Englewood countless times, and it wasn't until I was hit with a hankering for Korean food and did a quick search, only to find there was this hidden gem right off Palisade Avenue. From the outside, Best Dumpling doesn't seem like much. Nor does it seem like much from the inside. It's a squishy, two-floor space with just a few tables and chairs. On the first floor, most of the available space is taken up by the kitchen and the order window, but that's because they make everything fresh here. Dumplings dominate the menu (along with a few Korean stews and dishes, many of which feature said dumplings). I don't believe there's such thing as

Very sweet people. Food is a great price. I’ve always gotten their dumplings and occasional fried chicken. I never thought I would like veggie dumplings also but I haven’t had a single bad flavor Slowly working on trying their soup menu

Delicious! First time here and I had 25 dumplings !! Shrimp, leeks, shrimp, and kale were my faves. They are so light and yum! You can mix and match them in your order. Staff is so pleasant 🙏

Ordered takeout recently as I was staying in the area for the day. Enjoyed their food. Steamed shrimp dumplings were very good. Fried chicken dumplings and chicken wings were good. I’ve had better dumplings elsewhere, so would probably give 4.5 stars, but service was quick and friendly. I’d give it another go if I was in the area again.

What a complete gem of a place. There is nothing better than perfect dumplings, and this place delivers just that. From the beef & leaks to the pork mandoo; steamed or fried it will bring a tear to you eyes with the deliciousness inside. This is a must try!
