🥟 A Doughier Dumpling Detour

Fuzhou cooking is the reason to turn onto Fort Hamilton Parkway. Huangqi Fish Balls brings fish balls and savory meat swallows to a Brooklyn storefront, with the hometown flavors at the heart of its menu. Make this a detour for a regional Chinese meal, and give those specialties their own place in your next food outing.

There is another dumpling to consider here. The kitchen makes Xiao Long Bao with a thicker, doughier skin than the usual paper thin style. That changes the texture you are choosing, putting a more substantial wrapper into the mix. Before establishing a physical shop, the owner shipped food to homes in other states, a backstory that reaches beyond this stretch of Brooklyn.

Find the restaurant at 5221 Fort Hamilton Parkway. It opens daily from half past eight AM to 8 PM, with the same hours across the week.
