Dào Xiāng Jū

Henan


This no-fuss restaurant, specialising in guōtiē (锅贴, potsticker dumplings), serves as a welcome break from the night markets. Service is fast and the menu has a few pictures that help with pointing. If you don't feel like dumplings, the menu also has a long list of home-style Henan dishes on offer.
