Trying EVERY DUMPLING RESTAURANT in Greater Seattle Part 1 | Did I Find The BEST DUMPLING?!

good morning I know I've been eating a lot of dumplings during quarantine I've been cooking dumplings I've been buying frozen dumplings I've been going a restaurant you dumb place I just can't get enough fat dumplings that's literally one of my favorite foods in the world I mean I sleep with a dumpling plushie but still if you give me a pillow sighs dumpling I sleep with it and whenever I post about dumplings my inbox will be flooded by people in the greater Seattle area and they will recommend different local dumpling places to me so I figure you know what I'm pretty hungry so let me just go ahead and try every single dumpling shop in the greater Seattle area and there's actually a lot of them so we're not gonna cover it all in this one video but we'll make it happen and the first place we're going to it's a very very popular dumpling restaurant in this area called dole zone whoa five steamed pork buns for $12 so these are the most popular ones got to get a soup dumpling let's add a dun dun noodle so from here I'm getting pas stickers steamed pork bun pork soup dumpling and done done noodle fort ooh this is definitely not cheap so this is essentially one dollar per pasta ker orders ready last time I filmed the eating video in a car it was the roast pork video wow that was like maybe like four years ago scrap the first thing off the top and it's done done noodles smells very peppery and it's not very soupy on the bottom which is nice the noodles just from the chopstick grab yeah once you become a noodle expert just by grabbing with a chopsticks you can tell whether the noodles can be shaggy we're a good shoe are the hazards of a spice and you know a piece of this sauce went straight into my eyeballs I thought I would be crying when I saw dumplings but not because it is good amount of sesame sauce really fragrant nice crunch from the little sesame seeds spicy its nummy it's everything I want in a good done than you look this is fantastic price point not bad either about 6 bucks I get this again pasta Kirsty there's not Bob coming from New York the land of for pasta goes for $1 I don't know if I'm happy paying like a almost a buck for each paw sticker but it's a good one nice crispy sear on the bottom in a really good skin to filling racial I mean that is a lot of meat and pretty juicy too nice strong high flavor too okay my only complaint would be it's pretty expensive for pasta Kirsch but it's definitely a tasty pasta Kirk this is a dull zone soup dumpling the price point is pretty much the same as Dean Tai Fung and they're about the same size and the filling is pretty small but there are some choosing here yeah I just gave all the dumplings a hot oil shower trying to balance everything on my leg this is not as easy as it looks I'm giving her a little nibble okay so about the same amount of soup as at Dean's - soup dumpling and honestly they taste really similar - and I've had those on before can I remember comparing a iPhone I mean I think that comparison stands I mean if you're looking for protein tight bone that's not things iPhone I guess this is where you go I mean from price prank to flavor I think that done the noodles different but dumplings remarkably similar that is very pretty these are the pork buns Wow these are so nicely made of delicate folds in a very plump bun um somehow I was expecting this to be way superior than Ashley wash the dough is really good it's spongy its chewy incredibly Airy inside again it's not too much juice big ol filling that is a good meat bun all right so basically for those on when I had those on once before I really didn't remember liking it that much pride because I just got a Seattle I didn't expect it to be like a ding Typhon sibling we're like 10 dumplings gonna run me about $14 but overall the flavors are good I really liked it done done you know so in terms of food I'll give it an 8.5 but in terms of value and this is just my perspective because I came from New York where a soup dumpling for six big plump juicy soup dumplings it should only be about seven dollars here you get ten small ones for 13 bucks also with the pasta core pain about $1 per pasta core it's just something hurts me about that you know so for value I'll give it a 5 out of 10 them are definitely rich people dumplings when the thing with dumplings is that dumpling is is not meant to be like like a super expensive fancy food you know it's comfort food it's home cooking it should be good and it should be cheap and that has always been my knock against ting time phone so to this day even though the food is good I really liked it has to enjoy like a nice full rustic dumpling more alright next place we're going to is called northern dumplings so I guess it's the way this part of the country is is it's a dozen boiled dumplings it's about $10 so again not the cheapest dumpling pretty that's masterful I will bail them to the almighty dumpling right now if I wasn't in my car like if I space to bow while sitting here I would do it these are some of the best dumplings I've had in a long long time while these are amazing pork dumplings holy but Jesus this might be my favorite dumpling in the Seattle area so far best dumplings I've had outside of New York mind-blowing ly good Wow can't wait to try with some hot oil he imagined something is already good yeah some hot oil to that holly berry and a t-shirt Holly very getting ready for the Oscars I found my dumpling house in Seattle I mean there's much more to try but wow this this plate is gonna be hard to be putting these dumplings here and mouth is like I don't know hearing Adele seen for the first time ever just know something is special about this I was just so remarkable it's always perfect perfect amount of filling juicy meaty racial was great flavor is balanced what a find and this is why I love doing videos like these I mean one is like I mean I like it because it's an interesting video too it just gives me excuse to go like find the best of something I love to eat found there right there oh that is I can go home right now and I'd be happy I think this contest might be over second place I went to this might be it food just based on that one dumpling nine to nine point five out of ten I'm inching towards nine point five ten a perfect dumpling I don't feel like it really exists so nine point five is about as high as I can go and I'm inclined to give that to them Wow value I think honestly it's just this region you're not gonna find it she dumpling like an order of dumpling like that in New York will be around if you go to try to tell them be around five bucks but here just thing you're gonna be paying 10 11 12 dollars for a dozen dumplings and value even though it's expensive it's so good I'll give it an 8 all right we'll go to the next place but oh my god I am coming back here [Music] not many people here in this parking lot so I can kind of eat the dumplings on the hood of my car so I ask the Wolves the best dumpling they told me of course they said they were all good so I got the sentient which is literally translated as the three fresh ingredient dumpling and typically it's meat shrimp and vegetable huh-ha all my car I think my car just went up in value that's a very juicy dumpling we definitely gotta suck a little bit how's your biting down so the juice doesn't go everywhere so this tastes like horik shrimp and chives and the skin is very very light very subtle there's a lot of soy sauce and that's dipping sauce you don't really need it this thing is definitely seasoned enough there's dumpling wrapper melting your mouth though the filling is delicious very true so you can definitely taste all the ingredients if I didn't just have like one of the best dumplings I've had in a long time I will be pretty impressed by this but to me right now this is just a very solid dumpling it's good but didn't make me want to bow down to it like the last dumpling did all the beef dumpling onions Wow never see like big chunks of onions like this in here I've actually never had beef dumplings all that much before it's good beef is really tender nice crunchy texture from the onions come again these are really solid dumplings I think if I had to rate it I give it about an eighth in terms of value I think there were each like ten eleven dollars and this place definitely give you the most dumplings for your order I'll give it an A for value too it's a solid place but definitely not as good as the last place I went to all right a nice place were going to there's gonna be a little different [Music] had to come home because I'm about to jump on a dumpling teaching course with a bunch of people from Google so gonna be the last one here the last dumpling up that day here and this yeah it's a spicy mohawk it's a Nepalese dumpling and they put it in this like crazy amount of chilies and peppers and tomatoes are smells fantastic [Music] ah that's so unique Wow my mouth is on fire I feel that ping you know the good ping wow this thing gets complex so many spices and flavours in here first of all we put this your mouth you really just taste a lot of the tomatoes a ton of dull so the dull chewed filling ratio is not the best but what's kind of really amazing is that if you choose to see the dough as more of a pasta then this is magical because the sauce is fragrant it's spicy its smoky it's sweet its sour especially that nice aftertaste and I ridiculous afterburn oh I think just sits on the tip of your tongue for a long time this thing I'm telling you right now will hurt upon exit wow I just love the aroma all those great spices they use in that country I was talking to somebody on Instagram and I'm supposed to meet up with them in a captain mon Dieu and they're gonna show me around and it's still hopefully I can make it there but this this alone is reason to go alright there's some Russian dumplings just like pierogies I gotta try and Seattle this will be continued but now I got to go and make some my own dumplings and then tomorrow and snack shopping taking you with me see you in the morning welcome this morning it was dark it was windy it was rainy there's thunder there was lightning what a perfect Saturday perfect can't ask for anything better than this it was great about this is I think less people are gonna go out and go shopping so it's about eight o'clock in the morning I'm about to go snack shop and I heard there's this amazing grocery store like everyone's raving about it's like a Japanese asian fusion grocery store or something I've never been there let's go check it out buy a bunch of food and go home and enjoy this this I mean how do you not enjoy this at home with a nice movie a bunch of Van Damme movies just made it onto Netflix just watched bloodsport I'm gonna go watch hopefully kickboxers on there I think it's gonna be a good day oh yeah I gotta get some Ramonet yeah we're removing here's the snack aisle pretty similar to Chinese supermarkets they do have a really nice selection of Kit Kats Sakura mochi kick yeah I don't even know what flavor this is chocolate orange sweet oh this is why you can turn the wrapper into origami well this is cool these are great oh sorry these best gummy candies ever oh these are amazing these little marshmallow candies these are so good yeah all this called a mochi oh cool it's looks good oh this is the best we've got to get the golden quarry extra hot yes if you ever want to make Korea home seriously these are just so freakin good oh my god more KitKat's much more cadets what it's a mochi strawberry KitKat looks like lemon and matcha what red and white Kit Kat cranberry Sakura Saki kicked at all these are so good Oh Orson's salt holy cow I have to walk away from this this is just not healthy for me to be around these things usually black pepper shrimp crackers it's a be shrimp chips dango something cool oh my got a Sony dumplings everywhere so we got Japanese dumplings Korean dumplings Chinese dumplings are the store it's definitely dumpling heaven all the flavors are kills oh oh we are definitely doing a review on all this stuff all mother of all that is a monster bag of dumplings that should be called chicken killed villain but today it's definitely just snack day so I'll be back for y'all all of you all all of you all of you wait what is this much of big boy packing my childhood a my love with Japan combined in one well that story is awesome it's got the best of everything it's literally a Japanese Korean Chinese supermarket combined into one I'm going back oh so nice let's get everything in there all right go home and try some be snacks out so excited for the KitKat's matcha white rabbit you can heat the inside this little rice wrapper to you can just eat sure this you call like green rabbit [Music] matcha creamy and this is really close so they have like actual folding instructions sea salt flavor pick cap never had that oh my god I'm so stupid this is the origami I'm so dumb I'm thinking like the individual rappers are like the origami rappers is actually this this is the origami paper wrapper so you're supposed to cut this part out with the dolphin I feel stupid I used to read origami books in the library I was one of those County kids most of you guys seen people cranes right that you get sometimes when you go to an Asian restaurant where definitely when you go to Japan and the crane just sitting there looks very nice and pretty but those birds don't move my crane I mean one wing is longer than the other because I didn't cut this particularly well it's not a hundred percent like a perfect square but the flash ocean salt KitKat by the way make sure you follow me on instagram because I'm gonna be giving most of the snacks away as a cook top left one there's so much better than the right one that's one of the best kick out flavors they came up with what how you eat this you can definitely grill this stuff if you just let us sit down and come to room temperature it is still really good taste a smoking taste of charm it's probably better if you can grill it or something definitely get yourself some of this Sakura mochi KitKat now regardless if you like a particular kick a flavor for denial you have them give them credit for making everything taste like what they say is gonna taste like this actually tastes like a Sakura bean paste not my favourite islet I still like the seesaw much better but that's definitely a unique flavor also I know there's so many more dumpling places to review in the greater Seattle area so this is just part of one we're just getting started with this whole dumpling hi although I think I might have already found the best-tasting dumpling in this area but it'll be really fun to see if that's actually the case also filming this video it was like the first time I'm filming like a outside ish video although I ate everything in the car except for it well you know why eating eating on top of the hood you know that then that third dumpling place I went to that was my first time eating outside and months and it felt so good and it seems like we might be in a home stretch of this whole Korra thing but even if that's the case guys still be careful be safe just take care of yourself if you're going out and about as always thank y'all so much for watching this video see you next time [Music] [Music] [Music] you
