Dumpling Darling @ NewBo City Market

This place is great! I’ve worked through most of the menu and the dumplings are delicious and so are the sauces. A regular go-to spot in Cedar Rapids.

Got the dumpling platter with some friends to try out the different kinds. My favorite was pork and cabbage. The lady who served us was super super nice!

We discovered the D Darling down at the IC farmers market and were elated to see a store presence up at NewBo market! The ladies here are working some magic with the dumplings! While it may seem a bit steep to pay $7 for 5 dumplings or $14 for a 12 piece sampler (DO THIS ONE!), it's very worth it. The owner spent time over in Korea learning the art of delishifying these little heaven pockets and passes this on to your mouth. Lamb, pork, beef, veggie and a daily special (chicken cashew when we visited) are at your disposal and all were super tasty. The day was made more complete for us when our 1 and 3 year olds tore into the lamb and beef and asked for more! The peanut sauce and hot(ish) sauce (with beriberi I think) were amazing and complimented things very nicely. The 12 were plenty for two adults and two kids. This place is a total gem for the area and provides yet another unique culinary option that was totally absent 6 months ago. You can even get 10 for $10 to take home and make yourself. The only improvement would be the addition of soup dumplings (which I think are more Chinese). If those show up, we'll be here a couple times per month to load up! A must try for anyone who digs dumplings or is just excited about food in the area!
