Voice-Tribune review by Robin Garr

"You wouldn't like them," my mother said, declining to make some for the family table.
Eventually I got to try some, and sure enough, Mom was right as usual. Thick rectangles of flabby dough, floating in chicken stew? Meh.
But that was before most folks in these parts knew of Chinese dumplings. Won tons, whose poetic named is Cantonese for "swallowing clouds," give a whole new meaning to those boring little squares that disappointed me as a child.
Now put your hands together for The Joy Luck, which introduces us to soup dumplings ($7), the Chinese dumpling lifted to culinary nirvana. These babies go a step beyond, made with a teaspoon-size sip of tasty pork broth sealed inside.
