If you have been following me on Instagram for Dumpling Week, you may have already seen all the dumplings I enjoyed. If not, here is a Portland Dumpling Week 2017 Recap of the dumplings I tried 4 places that were outstanding.

Boke Bowl

Seared garlic chive pork dumplings special for Portland Dumpling Week.

While there, I enjoyed with food friends several other Boke Bowl dishes. I highly encourage you to order more food and drinks at each of your dumplings stops to support the restaurant. Of course, tip well also!

Nel Centro

Nel Centro PDX Dumpling Week entry of Canederli, an Italian rye bread dumpling with speck and cabbage, in a Parmigiano Reggiano brodo. Pro tip order their homemade foccacia to dunk into the broth and get all that goodness. Here, the extra dish I recommend ordering is the special cocktail (usually a nod to a show at one of the nearby theaters) and/or the Forest Mushroom & Gorgonzola Pizza.
 

Oven and Shaker

The Portland Dumpling Week 2017 special from Oven and Shaker you can spy on their chalkboard is the Salami and Sausage or Truffle Cheese and Maitake Mushroom (pictured here) pizza dumplings, a upgraded version of the pizza bites of childhood. Don’t forget to order the famous Nostrana salad here.

Grassa

Grassa’s Tortellini en brodo with black truffle-ham broth from Grassa for Portland Dumpling Week 2017. Get the garlic bread to soak up all the delicious broth.
