Best Grilled Pork Dumplings in Calgary

About Our Signature Grilled Pork Dumplings

What makes our Grilled Pork Dumplings special is the care and tradition behind their preparation. Each dumpling is crafted with a thin wrapper that's folded with precision pleats, a technique that takes skill to perfect. The filling combines ground pork with fresh cabbage, garlic, ginger, and green onions, all seasoned with soy sauce and sesame oil to create layers of flavor. The magic happens during cooking—we pan-grill each batch to order, starting with a golden sear on the bottom before adding water and covering to steam the tops. This dual cooking method, known as "guo tie" in Chinese, creates that signature crispy bottom while keeping the dumpling tender and the filling moist and flavorful. Our customers frequently note how these dumplings are among the best they've tasted, with reviews often mentioning that they wished they had ordered more.
