Qing Xian Yuan Dumplings
About Qing Xian Yuan Dumplings
Dumplings are having a moment—and QXY Dumplings has been ahead of the trend for over a decade. Named the #1 Food Trend of 2024 by the Chicago Reader Poll, this Chinatown favorite has been hand-crafting its famously soupy, slurpable dumplings since 2014. QXY has earned love from Check, Please!, shout-outs from Steve Dolinsky in his Hungry Hound days, and coverage in the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Magazine, and Eater Chicago. But for owner Jesse Li, nothing matters more than the loyalty of the locals who swear you won’t find dumplings like these anywhere else in Chicago—or the country. Made by hand daily with fresh vegetables and pasture-raised, grass-fed meats, these dumplings are in a league of their own.
